. .cas- Baltimore and Ohio and the
One-Man Power Who is Re-
sponslble.

The communication signed by Mr..
William Keyser, of Baltimore, andj
published in the daily press of tn ne
CITY, regarding the one man power Iau
directing the railroads of the country,
has occasioned considerable surprise
and widespread comment. Mr.. Key
sey was at one time Vice Pres dent of
the Baltimore and Ohio, and, if we
mistake not, chairman of one of the
most important committees among the
Board of Directors. During the alb
sence of Mr.. Garrett, Mr.. Keyser was
generally in command and it is claim
ed incurred the hostility of the Presi-
dent for deserving his post and taking
himself to Europe when he was occu-
plying the position of President pro tenn
Possibly it was then he had his confer
euce with the Rothchilds, and it may
likewise be possible he was then imbu-
ed with the idea that it was a danger
GUS thing for any one man to have
such power as vas invested in the
hands of the elder Garrett. 1t is sur
prising, however, that in all the years
that Mr.. Keyser was connected with
the Baltimore and Ohio as Vice-Presi-
dent and as a member of the Board of
Directors he never raised his voice
against the misleading statements
made to the people regarding the af-
fairs of this great corporation. We are
frank to admit that we do not hold
Mr.. Keyser any more responsible than
we do the other directors, but when
he seeks to place the responsibility on
the One-man power, we are forced to-
believe that the directors must have
been very derelict in their duty if they
knew what was going on to keep quiet
on the subject. 1t is unfortunate that
the condition of affairs regarding the
bad management of this great road
was not made known long years ago.
Some one is certainly guilty and under
the laws of Maryland would no doubt
be answerable for the many false state
ments made during the past twenty
ty-five or thirty years. We take it~for
granted, however, that nothing will be
done in the matter. The question now
is how to right the great wrong. We
believe the Baltimore and Ohio under
the present management is likely 10 be
greatly benefited in every way. New
life seems to pervade every department
and there is marked change in the
general conduct of the road. The flu
ture is now the all important question
to consider, and thousands of our cit
liens are awaiting the dawn of better
days, when dividends will come to bless
them the hopes they have so fondly
cherised.

Western Bank Fails.

Coming SO shortly after the 'Sound
Money Victory" the fna ncial panic
in Chicago, st. Paul and other places
in the West, would seem no doubt
rangely out of place, especially as
the promise of ''good times" after the
election held out temptations to voters
to renounce their party for what SEEM
ed the common good. The panic has
extended far and wide in it's evil re-
suits and many home will be depriv-
ed of the joys of Christmas, while the
pennies of the poor go down in the
slump with the dollars and eagles of
their more prosperous neighbors. Sew
eral of the most important banks in
Chicago, and the Union Stock Yards,
of ST. Paul, are samples of the concerns
affected. Not to bring politics into the
matter, there is no getting away from
the fact that something is radically
wrong with the present system of
banking and money issuing. 1t is now
a matter for Congressional considera-
ton, as the people decided last fall, and
no doubt the present condition in the
West may help to bring about the end
so long and ardently desired by the
students of financial economy.

Close the Bunghole.

1T would be better to make some pa
triotic endeavor to stop the extraordi-
nary leakage of the government bar
rel at the bunghole, and not plug up
the faucet. The appropriations for the
departments never grow less. even in
times when every cent counts. Public
men never seem to think of making
restrictions where big sums of money
are directly concerned, but will screw
and pinch over nickel in small
transaction. Something must be done
and that quickly. Every year our ex-
penses increase and no provisions are
made to meet the deficiency. The Gu
ban question is not the only grave
matter which confronts our legislators
by long shot, and it would be as
much to their credit to look after home
affairs with the same zeal and attention
that they have lately given to those of
foreign countries.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1896-12-25
That Promised Business Boom is
Yet Far Away.

1t is not pleasant to be everlastingly
predicting bad news, but in the face Of
the absurd statements given out by the
managers of the Republican party at
the close of the late campaign, it is
well to keep the people reminded OF
what was then promised, and what in
a great measure influenced thousands
in casting their votes for the Republi-
can nominees. The boosted prosperity
so lavishly promised by the great Met
ropolitan press, that would surely fol-
low the election of Mckinley, has so
far failed to materialize. On the con-
trary, we have found nothing but de
pr. ssion in business circles, failure after
failure of large manufacturing estab-
lishments, and the closing up of long
established banking institutions. The
end, unfortunately, has not come, for,
as matt of fact, the real hard times
have not yet commenced. We look to
find more men out of employment dur
ing the next three months than has
been known for years before. We look
to hear of business houses being forced
to suspend and bank after bank closing
their doors. Things have been on a
facetious basis SO long that the day of
settlement is viewed with general dis
may. The Republican managers are
not able to check the tide. The high
price of wheat gave us a temporary
ea,hing spell, but it will not last.
The extra session If Congress which
will have to be called by the new
Pr sident, will fail to meet the require
ments of the situation. Passing
high tariff bills will not help
the great mass of people already
over head and heels in debt.
Economy in the various branches
of the government and among the
people is possibly the only salvation,
but this will take long time, and in
the meantime thousands will be forced
to the wall. This is, indeed, gloomy
outlook for the New Year SO soon to
dawn upon us. Yet we have the same
conditions to-day that brought about
this widespread dismay; the same fl
nancial policy is being pursued, and
whilst the question was virtually set
tied at the polls, it was accomplished
in way that will never bring rest or
satisfaction. Trusts and combinations
still dominate legislation, and SO long
as the laws benefit the few, as against
the many, SO long may we look for
business depression and general hard
times among the people.

sHARKEY WINS THE MONEY
Judge Sanderson Decides that the
Suit for Fight Purse Has No
Standing in Court.

The legal fight between Sbarkey aud
FitZsilnmOns for possession of the SlO.-
600 purse was concluded Thursday of
last week, when Judge Henderson, of
tue Superior Court, dissolved the i'm
junction restraining the Anglo-C alifOr-
MA Bank from cashing the check.
Counsel for Sharkey called the at
tenilpn of the court 10 the State law
: forbidding prize fights, between which
and a ''glUve contest' he maintained
there was no difference, and he there
fore argued that case involving the
possession of purse for prize-fighting
had no standing in court.
The Judge cOncurred In this view
and said he would have terminated the
proceedings earlier had that point been
called to his judicial attention. The
court held that under the California
statute the civil board of supervisors
mad no more power to legalize prize
fight than to sanction a duel. The de-
cisiOn concluded as follows:
There is no question In NV mind
that the parties in this engagement, or
exhibition, or whatever you call it.
the complaint calls il a boxing con-
test-are indictable under the law, and
the people who witnessed are amen
able AS iaw-breakers. understand that
these exhibitions are given btcause the
police wink at them. But no court will
recognize any such proceedings"
The whole proceeding was over.
FitzsimmOns aud Julian looked decid-
edly glum, while their attorneys looked
resigned. ShaTkey was not there to
witness his triumph. Fitzsimmons'
attorney ssid the courts decision end
ed the fight for the purse. He admit
ted his client was Knocked out by the
law.
