Railroads are likely TO get scant con-
sideration when any measure affecting
them is under consideration. for the
reason that they have succeeded. in max
ing themselves unpopular with the tpub-
lie, though this is the case to greater
degree in the West than in the East
The reasons of their unpopularity are
various, and are not of much Importance
as the unpopularty is an accomplished
fact, and is just as effective against the
road even if the reasons of it are INSULT
Gent. We see the feeling against the
roads cropping out in the discussion in
Congress on the pooling bill. There
isn't much doubt that the unrestricted
competition which has been going on
between railroads since the Interstate
commerce law forbade pooling has been
detrimental to railroad interests without
being beneficial to the public. But the
mere fact that the railroads want the
pooling system restored will be in the
minds of many legislators conclusive
argument against it. Much of the legis-
lat:on about railroads is decided by find
ing cut what the railroads want, and
then not giving it to them because they
want it.

land. On October 10, City Marshai
Trickey made Seizure in person at tne
shop, arrested Holland, brought him pc
fore the court, which imposed upon MIN
fine of 500 and costs. Later O1hcer
Norton made another raid. Since this
last seizure this shopYhas not been open
at all, and is not open today. This IS
the statement of Officer Frank, who IS
ON this beat and passes the shop many
times day If the Express did not
know this fact,..it could have ascertainei
it by little inquiry. Had it been ami
mated by any creditable purpose. it
would nave made this inquiry. But it
wanted to get lick" at the Marshal,
from some hidden motive which will
crop out in time, and through him at
the Mayor, and it was not going to take
the risk OF being baffied by inquiries.
All it's expenditure of energy was in the
direction of surrounding its charges
with ifs enough to avoid the danger OF
having to file another demurrer
The Portland daily press., 1894-12-08

1t is a very cold day now when some
board of officers or some set of public
servants is not stigmatized in some news
paper of this town as a gang of thieves
or swindlers or liars or something else
that is bad The meaning of it is that
we are in the midst of a reformation, and
of course in order TO make a reformation
a success it is necessary to have lot of
bad people to reform. The process of
making bad individuals is a somewhat
dangerous one, for if the individual
doesn't happen to want to be made bad
he is liable to resist the process by a
libel suit, which diminishes the profits
of the paper and causes more or less
mental worry on the part of the editor.
But to make groups of individuals bad
is. comparatively safe thing. The.
police force is corrupt, rotten. it takes
brides, winks at violations of the law
no danger in saying that-and it pro-
vides 40 or SO subjects for the reforma-
tion all movement at once. The Overseers
of the Poor pay 25 cents pound fer 10
cent steak, pay double the market price
for eggs, treat committees of the city gov
eminent with discourtesy-all bad men,
perfectly safe to say it, and more material
for reformation. Ministers don't do
their duty, are writing sermons when
they ought to be down town trying to
find out proprietors of rum shops on
corners, clergy false to it's trust, breaches
religion when it ought to be shouting
Tow roforuo-parfact1v cofo
particular minister assaulted. More
material for reformation. Lawyers, bad
men, have pulls" sell them for consid-
erations. Municipal administration
asink" of corruption; county administra-
ton worse; legislators make big money
legislating for rumsellers. Here's mater
ial enough to keep the reformation at
work for many moons, all procured at no
risk.
1t must not be inferred, however. that
because all these people when grouped
are bad, that all of them or even any of
them are bad individually. Every mem
Der of the Board of Overseers of the Poor
may be a good man, but that does not
prevent the Board from being very bad
indeed and a proper subject for inves-
tigaIion. So no particular policeman
may be bad, while the police force as
whole may be corrupt. The municipal
administration may be made up of men
Of upimpeachable character and conduct,
and still be "veritabe sink of cor
ruption." No particular lawyer may have
a pull" yet there may be lawyers with
pulls" We do not undertake to explain
this phenomenon which seems to set at de-
fiance the axiom that the whole is equal to
the sum Of all its parts, we accept it
