THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER Is. 1894

One Cause of Hostility to Railroads.
The report of Special Master Casey
on the financial affairs of the Northern
Pacific railroad, which road is now
in the hands of receivers, fur
nishes food for thought Mr.. Casey
finds that Henry Willard, who for
a long time was at the head of
the roads affairs, made unjust gains out
Of the road to the amount OF 1868, 691.
There are security holders Of the road
who contend that much larger unjust
gains could be found If more searching
examination were made.
4 The Northern Pacific had a splendid
land grant. In fact, it still has a vast
amount of land which the government
( gave it. It has had, and still has,
/ splendid business, which is steadily in
( creasing. For long time it paid its
fixed charges regularly. and without any
apparent strain upon its finances. 1t is
now a wrecked corporation, for the rea-
son, it is alleged, that those who were in
trusted with the management of its
affairs diverted money that belonged to
the company into their own pockets. Had
the property been honestly and wisely
managed it would be in a sound financial
condition, it is believed by those who are
In position TO express an intelligent
opinion in respect to the matter.
There are other roads in the hands of
receivers, whose financial history is much
like that of the Northern Pacific rail
road. 1t may not be possible to point out
the crooked work of those who wrecked
them, but that they were wrecked by
those who had control of their affairs in
efforts to make money out of
them illegitImately there isn't a
shadow of doubt. 1t is
unfortunate that the men who do the
wrecking cannot be reached and punished
just as other criminals are They are
shrewd enough to cover their tracks so
effectually, however, that successful
prosecution of them is almost impossible.
And it is remarkable that the public, al
though morally certain of their guilt, con-
tinues to treat them with every evidence
of respect.
The wrecking Of a railroad Injuries the
public as well as the holders of the Sc
curities of the road. In order to make
good the losses of the security holders,
the road, when reorganized, is bonded for
the last dollar it will earn, and the stock
holders have to wait for years
before their stock is worth much
The public is required to pay for
transportation the very highest rates
the state and interstate commissions
Will allow. IL is not to be wondered at,
therefore, that there is feeling of hos
tility to railroads.
The managers Of railroads feel this hos
tillty and cry out against it as being I'M
just. In some instances it is unjust, but
in most cases it is not. The lower rates
by which the people would be benefited
are made impossible by the steady in
crease in fixed charges to satisfy dis
honest greed or greed that no amount of
wealth can satisfy

An Alarming Report.

The report that the boil worm has ap-
peared in cotton fields in Jasper, Ogle-
thorpe and Oconee counties and has
already done vasl amount of damage, is
an alarming one 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that the reports are much exagger-
ated. Should the worm make its appear
ance generally over the state the cotton
crop would be greatly reduced in volume
and many farmer would have nothing
but debts to show for his years work.
A couple of weeks ago there were re-
ports that the boil worm was doing
great deal of damage in the cotton fields
around Dallas, Tex, but as nothing has
been said about the matter in the public
prints within the last few days, it is fair
to presume that the original reports made
the situation appear much worse than it
really was
A few weeks ago the prospect for a
large cotton crop in this state was
a most promising one. In localities the
weather has not been favorable for it
within the last week or two; still, if the
boil worm does not do a great deal of
damage and the frost does not come until
late, the crop will be above the average.
1t will have to be much above the aver
age to enable the farmers to get back the
cost OF the crop, because the price is so
low. However, the damage from worms
and the weather is seldom as great as it
is at first reported TO be. and that will be
the case probably this year.

PHILADELPHIA Waking On.

The Philadelphia Steamship Company,
recently organized to run line of steam
ers between that>city and Jacksonville,
will send out its first steamer on Sept. 25.
The name of the steamer is Volusia The
company is composed of dealers in fruit
and produce.
1t is the purpose of the company to pur-
chase another steamer, SO as to have
weekly departure from each end of the
line.
The company should have made Savan-
nah its southern terminal, if it wants to
get business. The two railroad systems
that have lines to all parts of Florida
have terminals here, and these roads
would much more likely give them bust
ness here than at Jacksonville, because
by bringing it here they get a longer haul
out of it without any additional cost to
the producer. The Philadelphia company
should study the situation before inaugu-
rating its line.

The Issue in Louisiana.

The sugar question is the leading issue
in Louisiana politics. The sugar planters
have practically decided TO make an al
lance with the republicans in all the
sugar producing parishes, so far as con-
gressional candidates are concerned.
They appear to be convinced that they
can get better terms for sugar from the
republicans than from the democrats.
That they are making a mistake there is
not much reason to doubt, but from
present indications they will not admit
they are until convinced by expe-
rience. The republicans are promising
them a great deal, because they
are making an extraordinary effort 10
carry the next House. After the election,
however, they will pretend to find insur-
mountable difficulties in the way of pro-
viding greater protection for sugar than
the Wilson bill gives it.
1t is safe to say that the bounty sys-
tenn will never again be adopted. The
common sense Of the people is against it,
Even the Louisiana democrats who are
Lot interested in sugar see the impracti-
cability of that system. For instance,
prominent cotton planters of Tensas
parish, which is tae richest cot
ton growing parish in the
state, are quoted as saying that the
sugar grower desires that the cotton
planter, who gets for his cotton only
about 81 cents pound, and the wheat
grower, who gets not more than
40 cents a bushel for his wheat-prices
that enable them to make only bare
living-shall contribute to the payment
of bounty TO him. The cotton and wheat
farmers do not see the wisdom of
being taxed for the benefit of the sugar
planters, who live like nabobs, and who
are not satisfied with anything short of
enormous profits.
Congressman Meyer of louisiana has
written letter to the President asking
him if he is in favor of a revenue duty on
raw sugar There is no doubt he is. He
has said so many times, and doubtless will
say so again. He has pointed out more
than once that revenue from raw sugar
is needed by the federal treasury He is
opposed, however. to giving any protec-
tion 10 the sugar trust, because he is sat
isted the trust can get along without it.
The sugar growers of Louisiana, by
their political course, are depriving them
selves of democratic sympathy and sup
port, and have no satisfactory prospect of
getting anything from the republicans in
exchange for them. Their reliance for pro-
lection must be on the revenue principle
of he tariff doctrine of the democracy.
In demanding more than they are entitled
to they are likely to lose all protection.

The populist candidates in this state,
while protesting to be anxious to divide
time" with democratic speakers on the
issues of the day, have been careful to
avoid ONT discussions whenever it was
possible Tor them to do so. Mr.. Atkin-
sons challenge to Judge Hines, however,
puts the populist leader-the head of the
ticket rather, for Mr. Watson is the boss
directly on the defensive He must
fight or take water. There can be but lit
tie doubt that he will accept the challenge.
Indeed, he must accept it, or stand dis
credited before his party and the state.
As TO the outcome OF the fight, the demo
Gratis have absolutely nothing to fear.
MIR. Atkinson has all the advantage, to
begin with. His weapons have been tried
and proved efficient; Judge Hines are
new and there is every reason to think
they are honey-combed with elbow holes"
worse than a Carnegie armor plate. Be-
sides, the Judge is not used to handling
even the poor weapons he has. He is
fresh in the business.

Mr.. Harris Complaint.

According to our Macon dispatches yes
terday, Mr. Marion ". Harris, who has
resigned from the democratic state ex-
ecutive committee, thinks some of the
papers have grossly misrepresented"
him in their comments upon his action
Mr.. Harris ought not to feel aggrieved
because he is criticised for giving UP
post Of honor and responsibility at time
when his services are greatly needed.
His reasons for resigning were unknown.
If Mr.. Harris mad waited until the
campaign was over before resigning, or if
he had said before the can paign began
that he could not serve the Democratic
party in the position he occupied, no fault
could be found with him.
The democrats have a grievance against
him for resigning in the midst of the
campaign. His action will be seized upon
by the opposition as political capital and
there will be an effort TO make it benefit
the populists. In fact, that has been done
already, if we are not mistaken. Under
the circumstances it seems to US that the
democrats have more to complain of than
ex-Committeeman Harris and that he
ought to expect to be criticised
The first amendment adopted by the
New York constitutional convention is
one providing for the abolition of the O 70
of coroner. Should the amendment be
accepted by the voters of the state, the
legislature would have to provide new
system of holding inquests and perform
ing the functions now discharged by the
coroners The system that is being most
favorably discussed now is that employed
in Massachusetts, under which medical
examiners take the place Of corouers.
The coroner's Office in New York city is
one of the best "plums" in the state.
hence there was considerable opposition
from that city to the adoption Of the
amendment by the convention, and itmay
be expected that stout fight against the
amendment will be made at the polls.

News of the latest thing in trusts comes
