SOUGHTONLY SELFISH ENDS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS State.
ment to the Minority Report Against
the Reilly Pacific Railroad Bill.

Harris'Supplcmcntal State.
ment to the Minority Report Against
the Reilly Pacific Railroad Bill.
Mr.. Harris, of Kansas, a member OF the
House Committee on Pacific Railroads, has
submitted the following supplemental state
ment to the minority report against the Reilly
bill, which was published Sunday morning:
81 fully concur in the foregoing views Of
the minority except so far as the opinion Is
expressed that the government should, In
the event OF foreclosure, proceed 10 sell or
transfer the property acquired to some other
corporation or company as 1noicateu anu
suggested in the Pattison report.
''These agents OF the State for the per-
formance Of public duty have as rule
proven incompetent and dishonest-incom.
petent In protecting the rights and interest OF
the public, and dishonest in using the great
powers intrusted to them wholly tor selfish
ends. and for the purpose of building up vast
private fortunes at the expense OF the people.
Transportation has become a great and uni
versal public necessity. 1t has been the duty
OF the State from time immemorial to provide
highways and all the means and channels OF
communication aud commerce.
1T is growing and ever increasing neces-
sity, and with the greater interdependence OF
the various portions of the country upon each
other, the duty OF the State becomes more
and more imperative to see that this vast
power Is exercised for the general good, and
as rapidly as possible to resume and directly
exercise its functions. The highways OF
country belong to the State, and Transports
tion over them is not mere matter OF mer-
chandise, to be sold or refused solely as
private interests or avarice may dictate.
''In the case of the Pacific railways the OBJ
ject OF the original act was stated to be to
promote the public interest and welfare. and
to that end, subject to alteration, amendment,
or repeal. vast subsidies of land and money
were placed in the hands of the companies as
trustees for the accomplishment of that OBJ
ject. Their breach of faith is unparalleled
they did only that which other companies did
and followed the common custom of railway
builders and managers. Why then again en-
ter into such an entangling alliance and per-
NIT or risk the sacrifices Of public duty and
functions to private avarice, greed, and bad
faith!
II believe that foreclosure of the govern
ment lien, should at once follow default in
payment, and that complete transconti-
mental line should be acquired and operated
by the only competent and legitimate power,
the people, through their government. Such
will be the influence OF this action that prob
ably no further changes in the transportation
system of the country will be necessary, but
that everywhere the public duty to be per-
formed will be recognized as paramount and
that capital honestly invested will be satisfied
with fair and reasonable compensation,
honestly and justly earned.

WHERE is THE BILL ATT

Yesterday was q busy day at the Capitol,
and Speaker Crisp, Representatives Catch
ings, McMilin. Breckinridge of Arkansas
and others were active inStrying to induce
stubborn Democratic Senators to yield and
make concessions to the House conferees.
Efforts were also made TO prevent the calling
OF the House Democratic caucus in order to
stiffen up the backbones of Representatives
who are willing to accept the Senate bill.
Thursday will determine whether this ac-
tivity was bluff on the part of the radical
House Democrats or II they are really in
earnest and intend to defeat the Senate bill
unless reasonable concessions are made.
They have the President. the Democratic
party, and the sympathy of the public behind
them, but there is danger of carrying their
opposition too far and of defeating tariff leg
islation altogether. There are House Demo-
Gratis who believe It better for their party to
adjourn and allow the Mckinley law to re-
main on our statute books than to accept the
Senate bill with its odium of trusts and scan
dal.
The situation is embarrassing. Without
tariff bill the stigma Of failure would fall
upon the Senate, and to accept the Senate bill
would pledge tine Democratic party to support
the sugar trust and its coterie Of stock-dealing
politicians. The report being circulated that
President Cleveland is paving the way for
another nomination would be greatly
strengthened If he vetoed the Senate bill, pro-
vided it was agreed to by the Senate and House,
and there are many Democrats who would
applaud his action. There are many per-
picked Democrats in both Senate and House,
and Tom Watson may well ask 'iWhere are
