How Reed RUNS the business.

Tennessee members of congress have
lots of gratitude for Speaker Reed on ac-

gresham Washington has been to the
speaker about claim from his district.
The most recent interview credits MIR.
Reed with some knowledge of modern sem
timental songs.
The claim Mr.. Washington wants to get
through IS for 100000, and Is by the Meth
od-st Publishing House of Nashville. Their
building was destroyed by troops during
the war. Mr.. Reeds policy against mort
gagiug the next administration with large
appropriations is well known. Mr.. Wash

The West Point railroad Case.

No one can read the proceedings Of the
West Point railroad case. in which a
stockholder attempts 10 have the road put
into the hands Of a receiver. without a
feeling Of Indignation. That the road is
solvent is admitted. The stakeholder
who brought the suit has received every
dollar that Is due him. and his stock an
along has commanded more than par; and
yet court Is asked to take the road away
from its owners and turn it over to
stranger on the alleged ground that there
is a defect of some sort in its charter. If
that stockholder were sincere why did he
not adopt a method for settling the charter
question, if there is any such question,
hat would not injure the property?
The facts which have been brought out
justify the conclusion that there is pur-
pose on the part of somebody to get con-
,rol OF the property. and that the courts
are being used to accomplish that purpose.
The stock is held by other roads, by pris
vate individuals. by estates and charita-
BILE institutions. All of these are to suffer
in order that few who have little. If any,
interest in the road may profit by the
wrecking of it.
1t has been only few years since the
Central was put into the hands of re-
eeiver on the request of the holder of a
few shares Of stock, with the result that
people in this city and other parts of this
state lost millions of dollars. Families
that lived in comparative comfort were
reduced to beggary. But somebody made
money by the wrecking of the road. There
are capitalists in New York and elsewhere
who have accumulated vast fortunes by
-wreeking and reorganizing railroads, and
lawyers and agents who have become rich
in assisting them. Railroad wrecking has
become a great business which yields
magnificent returns to a few and brings
poverty and distress to thousands.
And to what extent are the courts re-
sponsible for this condition of affairs?
How often have they put vast properties
into the hands of receivers when they
could have avoided doing so! And how
little regard they have paid to the inter-
ests Of stockholders in the distribution of
the assets!
The outcome of the West Point case will
be watched for with interest If that SOL
vent corporation can be put into the hands
of a receiver and its stockholders assessed
to the extent of thousands of dollars fI
fees and expenses railroad securities will
cease to be regarded as desirable by in
vestors.
