Too Many BOSSES.

It begins to look as If Boss Platt would
get control Of New York city. He vir-
tually controls the New York legislature,
and that body is making laws for the city
It is likely TO GO as Plat says, and If it
does New York will have Mr. Plat for
a boss instead of Mr.. Croker. 1t is doubt
full if the change would be an improve
ment.
The reformers. those who combined un-
der the leadership Of ParlShurst and 9TH
ers to wrest the city from Tammany. are
so alarmed at the prospect of being bossed
by Mr.. Platt that they are holding big
mass meetings and shouting TO each other
that it is necessary to keep up the fight
as long as there is political boss in sight.
The trouble with them is that they all want
to be bosses. and too many bosses. like too
9any cooks, are likely to make a bad
mess of it.
Already the reform bosses are urging
legislation that promises to make trout
Bile. They are impractical and don't know
what is the best thing to be done. II
they lose the fruits of their victory it will
be through their own folly. There are
many good theories, that can't be
made to work in practice. The Parkhurst
bosses have lots Of theories but they
are likely to make so many blunders
in trying to put them into practice that the
people will get disguised with them and
turn for relief to a practical boss like
Plat The new mayor, Strong, will take
care of his office if the reformers will
let him. He is a clear-headed man of
good judgment. The fanatics. however
don't give him much rest. 1t is noticed
that he and Platt are on good terms.
What Platt is trying to do is to make the
state solidly republican, and it may be
the mayor will help him. If they should
work together, the Parkhurst bosses will
soon have very little to do with the actual
management of the city's affairs.

A meeting TO discuss matters OF interest
TO all Of the cotton ports will be held at
New Orleans on Feb. 2I-23 under the
auspices Of the local maritime association.
The steamship agents at all Of the Gulf
and South Atlantic ports, delegates
from the cotton exchanges, and the traffic
managers OF all the railroads leading TO the
ports have been or viii be invited TO at
tend.
The loading. baling. boxing. com
pressing and handling Of cotton freights
will be especially considered. 1t is hoped
that q. mutually satisfactory line of policy
with regard to these matters viii be de-
termlned upon. There have been numer-
Gus complaints. especially during the cur
rent season Of inefficient baling. bad COM
pressing and a shortage in weight of cot
ton cargoes. T6e meeting will endeavor
to find where the fault lies and remedy it.
The railroad men are almost as much
interested in these matters as are the
steamship men. Cotton comes from the
interior to the ports in bad shape, and in
consequence causes annoyances and ex-
penses to the roads transporting it that
might be avoided If the cotton package
were properly prepared before shipment.
Both the roads and the ships have fire.
quently asserted that change for the bet
ter should be made. The New Orleans
Maritime Association means to see If it
cannot inaugurate a movement towards
improving the manner Of packing and
handling cotton by the time for the move
ment of the next crop
The shape of the bale, and the advisable
ity Of changing it, win be discussed. The
cylindrical bale. concerning which so
much has been written during the past
few months, viii be examined critically
and recommended or rejected. Examples
OF Egyptian and Indian systems of pack
ing will be shown and explained. Rep
resentatives of the cotton and transporta-
ton interests at this port will be ap
pointed to attend and they will make a
mistake If they neglect to do so.

one Way Of 1vrecIsing Corporations.


It is pretty safe assertion that two
thirds of the railroads that have been
placed in the hands Of receivers within
the last two years were over capitalized.
No doubt there were other things that
helped to bankrupt them. but the chief
one was that they were capitalized at an
amount far greater than their cost.
The appointment Of receivers for the
Norfolk ana Western the other day caused
no surprise. Cautious financiers who were
acquainted with its affairs were satisfied
two years ago that the time was not dis
tant when il would be insolvent The
financial editor Of the New York Evening
Post. in speaking of its financial difficult
ties the other day. said: mo more enor-
nous over capitalization of a small rail-
road corporation has been Witnessed, even
in the late extravagances Of corporation
finance"
one of the charges made by the Brook
Ign trolley road strikers is that the trolley
roads OF that city are enormously over
capitalized, and that the real cause of the
strike was the effort to cut down operating
expenses in order TO make the interest on
an enormous amount Of securities in ex-
cess of the cost Of the properties. which
have been issued by the trolley companies.
No doubt there is much truth in the
charge.
In some of the states the over capitaliza-
ton Of a corporation is made an offense.
but the law is never enforced against the
offenders. Is it not about time that there
was a similar law in every state. and
public sentiment that would compel those
who administer the laws to enforce that
law? Are those who put securities on the
market which they know have little or no
value any better than robbers?
II may be said that purchasers Of secur-
tiles must be on their guard. must protect
themselves 1t is just as reasonable to say
that the traveller must protect himself
against highwaymen. The majority of
those who purchase securities are no bet
ter able TO protect themselves against cor
porations that issue practically worthless
securities than travellers are to resist the
attacks Of foot-pads. and yet the law is
enforced vigorously against the latter
class of offenders. Let us have laws against
those who rob the public by means of Sc
curities that are not what they are al
legged to be, and we shall have fewer
wrecked railroads.

Ex-Minster to Hawaii John L. Stevens,

Cause of Cotton Fires.

The report on the cause Of cotton fires
on shipboard, which has just been made
by the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, at
tributes the fires to bad packing and
baling in the interior. The inference from
the report is that all the fires have oc-
Cured in free on board cotton.
1t is undoubtedly true that much of the
cotton that is compressed in the interior
reaches the ports in bad condition, due
largely to the fact that the COMPRISING
is not done as well as it should be. The
interior presses, in many instances. are
not powerful enough to do the kind OF
COMPRISING that is needed.
II is probable that the railroads would
be better satisfied and the cotton planter
would get more for his cotton if the cotton
were baled properly at the gins and the
COMPRISING were done by the great com
presses ut the ports. one Of the writer's
of the New orleans Cotton Exchange re-
port expresses the opinion that If the cot
ton were handled as it should be. it
would yield to the grower from z to cent
a pound more than it does at present.
If this opinion is correct the cotton
growers and cotton merchants should
take hold of the question OF improving the
packing, baling and COMPRISING at once.
Such a saving as indicated is so enor-
nous that the cotton interests cannot
afford to permit Mr.. Ross opinion to pass
unnoticed.
The Times Democrat, in commenting on
the Cotton Exchange report, speaks Of
the large number of cotton fires at this
port this season. As a matter of fact
Savannah has been remarkably free from
cotton fires this season that could be called
accidental. Ali of the fires occurred on
one night. and there isn't a shadow of
doubt that they We're incendiary fires.

The Senate's action IN the matter of
the Hawaiian cable is characteristics The
Statesmen" who control that body ind
no difficulty in suggesting a way to
spend the peoples money but they find
a great many difficulties in the way OF
giving the people the financial relief of
which they stand so much in need. Some
sTo.c0Q6gl or more of the peoples money
went into the Pacific railroads, never to
be got out again. in just about such a
scheme as this Hawaiian cable is. The
Pacific railroad affair is now national
scandal Ii there was a demand for a
cable to Hawaii sufficiently large 10
warrant one being laid, would not pri-
nate enterprise quickly take hold of the
matter and lay the cable? All Of the other
ocean cables that land in this country
are owned by private enterprise. Why
should the government own ana operate

out the principle involved in the Senate's
action, ard buy. own and operate all of
the telegraph and cable lines in the
United States? The cable scheme is mere
" a step towards Hawaiian annexation.
