Government Control Of Railroads.

Adler men than have proved to sat

run by the government ms IL Is TO admin

still u surplus remains, which flows back
to the people, and what is more impor-

modities
| have endeavored to place only one
side of the question in its proper light
viz, that new times require new forms
of government, and that the functions
of the government must constantly be
changed so as to adapt themselves to the
needs of the people, which in their turn
arc brought about by changing condi-
tions. If this one side of the question bo
properly understood, all arguments and
objections against the naturalization Of
railroads must fall TO the ground. This
one side of the question once understood,
methods and means to arrange and ac-
complish the naturalization Of railroads

Death of Colonel Webster.

Baltimore Herald.
The death of Col. Edwin IL. Webster, of
Hartford county, will be the cause ofprofound
regret throughout the State of Maryland
During his lifetime Colonel Webster held
many positions of public trust, and the best
epitaph that can be written of him is
that he always discharged his duty faithfully.
In private life Colonel Webster was noted
for individual characteristics that endeared
him to a circle Of acquaintance that was
bounded neither by sectional nor party lines.
He was loyal neighbor and true friend
Some of his strongest personal adherents
were among his most pronounced political
opponents His lifelong and answering
friendship for the unfortunate Stevenson
Archer, preserved to the last, was a conspicu-
Gus illustration of his tenacious attachment
to those with whom he held social affiliations.
Colonel Webster has left record which
adds honor to his memory and to the common
wealth which he so often served.
