A HINT FOR LOWER CHARGES.

There is a strong intimation of what
is destined tc be one of the most potent
influences on Railroad rates in the fu-
ture in the action of some of the rail-
road companies in Northern Ohio,
which have been Obliged to consider
the competition of electric lines paraI-
Icing their own. They have found
that these electric roads are taking
away from themsla large amount of
local traffic, andnare considering the
necessity Of making rates that shall
enable them to- compete with the cheap
er electric transit A similar problem
has been il existence for some time in
the Eastern states. In Connecticut and
Massachusetts, a very large number of
electric lines have been built between
the cities and towns of those thickly-
settled communities, and the effect of
the competition was so severe that the
steam roads have been driven to con-
slider the necessity of either absorbing
these local companies or adapting the
electric power to their own uses. So
far, these developments have related
mainly and entirely to the carriage of
passengers. 1t seems to us that the
next step is the adaptation of the cleo
trio road to the transportation of gen.
eral freight. and particularly of farm
produce.
We can see no reason why these lines,
that no hui I'd OH ~,
and operated at a minimum of expense
as compared with ordinary steam rail-
roads, should not be constructed every
where throughout the country and do
f1ourishing business. Wherever such
line should be built available for
light traffic between towns, it would al
most certainly, unless it ran through
a thinly settled region, more than pay
operating expenses and interest upon
the cost Of the plant. A case of this
sort has already been cited by the
G b e, where the business done was
very large, and the profits to the pro-
moters were satisfactory. Nobody ex-
poets to see the electric road. in the
present state of development carry
off the bulk of the business from the
railroads whose facilities for doing bus
mess on an immense scale enable them
to reach the minimum percentage of
cost. But the electric road may be
made to operate as water transporta-
ton has done, as a regulator of rates.
1t seems probable that if there were
a more general construction of electric
roads outside of cities, as connecting
links between center and center, their
competition would force the regular
roads to lower, their charges, All such
developments as this move slowly, be-
cause public opinion must be stirred
and capital interested in order to make
the venture, a success. But there is
certainly hint in the experience of
other communities with electric roads
as competitors of. steam lines, which
argues foratheir future efficacy as re-
ducers of the charge for transportation
service. ~ or

JUST BRAG AND BLUsTER.

The Fifty-first congress won the title
one bids fair to earn that of the fuss
and feathers congress. When one runs
back over the campaign in which it's
majority was elected, and compares
the threats, the denunciations and the
promises with. the performance, the
brag and buster of the campaign turns
into mere fuss and feathers. A brief
resume will establish this. There was
the Nicaragua affair, when England
demanded an indemnity and held Cor
into until it was paid. The threats of
Investigations, the hints of impeach-
ment, the fierce philippics have all sub
sided. The issue of bonds was held up
to ridicule as another demonstration of
Democratic incapacity," and the first
thing congress did when it got together
was to pass bill authorizing bond is
sues. The German act was bulletined as
the cause Of the panic, the ruin of our
industries, and the restoration of the
Notwithstanding policy Of the Re
publicans could alone restore good
times; and the next thing congress did
was to pass bill increasing the Cor
man rates fifteen per cent
The commissioner Of pensions was
especially the recipient of hot criticism.
He was no better than a robber be-
cause he had refused to spend all the
appropriation made, and recommended
a decrease. And when the pension
committee sent in its report it asked
no more than he had recommended.
The fury had mellowed into approval.
The currency was another object of
fierce attack. Republicans joined a
few doughface Democrats to defeat the
plan for reorganization proposed by the
administration, and the failure of the
Fifty-third congress to act was pro-
claimed as but another proof of Dem
ocratic incapacity." Nothing could be
done until the Republicans were in
control And then when they came
into power. the best the house could do
was to couple with the bond bill a pro-
vision that all greenbacks redeemed
| should be reissued. A senate ORGAN
lied by Republicans took the bill and
made it one for the free coinage of sill
yer at premium of so per cent Then
when Ambassador Bayard told an Eng
fish audience what paternalfsm in gov
eminent is and what it induces, how it
saps self-dependence and fosters cor
| ruption, there was loud buster and talk
Of impeachment; which, when it came
out of committee, was only mild re-
quest to know what he had said.
| Then there was the case of the sec
rotary of agriculture. How he was
scored for his cheese-paring. How the
friend of the poor farmers did howl be-
cause the latter got no more free seeds,
and how he was scoffed at because he
had actually covered into the treasury

STATE ELEVATORS IN NEW YORK.

When bill was passed. by the legis-
lature of Minnesota, providing for the
erection at state charge of a grain ele-
vator at the head of the lakes. the
Eastern press regarded the proposition
as curiosity of Populistic legislation.
1t was considered an evidence of the
singular notions prevailing in the un-
tutored West as to the proper relation
of state to private industries. We
remember now how the leading New
York newspapers discussed the matter,
taking it for granted that in no COM
munity except one as undeveloped as
the Northwest could such a suggestion
be made. The bill was declared I'M
constitutional by the supreme court,
and there the matter ended.
Now we find, in a telegram from AL
bany to the New York World, that
there was introduced last week in
both houses of the New York leg
islature a bill Ito prevent extor-
ton and combination in transfer
ring state canal grain at the ports
of Buffalo and New York" 1t pro-
vides that there shall be constructed
before the 18th of May, at public cost,
six floating grain elevators, to be oper-
ated exclusively by the superintendent
of public works. Two of these eleva-
tors are to be built at Buffalo and four
at New York city. They are to have
transfer capacity of not less than TO-
600 bushels of grain per hour The
superintendent is authorized to appro-
pirate any dock property necessary for
the purpose. The charge for elevating
and transferring grain is not to exceed
half cent per bushel An appro-
priation from the state treasury of
$4,000 is made to carry out the pro-
visions of the bill and all profits re-
sulting from the operation of the ele-
vators shall be turned over to the state
treasury.
This is going a little further in the
direction Of the socialistic state than
was thought of even in Minnesota. 1t
is true that the through grain trade by
way of the lakes and the Erie canal is
in the grip of a combina ton as reckless
and as merciless almost as that which
has its hand upon the throat of the
farmers of the Northwest. The bust
ness of transferring grain at Buffalo
and at New York city is in the hands
OF monopoly. No remonstrance or
representation has been sufficient TO
secure any relaxation of its policy.
or moderation of its charges. AS a
last measure of relief, it has actually
proposed that the state of New York
take over the industry of the tran
shipment of grain, and that it be done
henceforth under state control and at
state cost
We do not of course, believe in this
kind of remedy for the abuse. A
recent legisla ture in that state, one
which had views beyond the survey
of the bosses of either of the two great
political machines, could quickly put
into effect such regulations as would
effectually clip the power of the ele-
vator monopoly to impose unjust and
ruinous charges Upon the grain trade
