COMPETITION.
Senator o. II. PIatt Mak 20 some Novel
Poluta for RnIlvnva.

Senator o. II. PIatt Maksa some Novel
Points for Railways.
BY Senator o. H. Platt: Competition
In railroad transportation differs from
every other kind Of competition in the
world. do not say that 1t is not to be
Judged by the same legal rule, but
say in essence and In character 1t is
different from competition in any 9TH
er business. In the first place, 1t is
not competition In trade. The railroad
buys nothing OF the producer: 1t sells
nothing to the consumer. It simply
carries-it distributes: that is all. Con-
tracts In restraint of trade may oper-
ate the same with reference to con-
tracts between common carriers as
between merchants; but the two kinds
of business differ in character. 1t DIFF
fers from every other business, because
whatever the result of the competition
and the rivalry the railroad stays. Ri
cardo Is grea. advocate of the doc
trine that competition liz the life OF
trade: but he writes from bankers
standpoint. In banking. capital is cir
culatory. II competition drives 1t out
of the banking business 1t may go into
the manufacturing business. But the
railroad stays whatever the result OF
competition. uLN.
II competition and the survival of
the fittest" means the physical removal
of the weakest. the pretended law is
inapplicable, for you cannot remove
the railroad. When its iron rails are
laid down from point to point, there
1t stays; and however many companies
may be bankrupted by competition,
there stands another company ready to
take its place and to be bankrupted in
turn. 1t is not SO on the highways.
1t is not so on the waterways II two
rival coach proprietors disagree and
one is bankrupted. the coaches can go
| elsewhere and run on other roads. II
rival steamboat lines disagree and by
competition one is bankrupted, the
boats can go elsewhere. The world is
full of free highways but the railroad
is not free highway.

She Took Him for Worse.

Yesterday afternoon a local church was the
scene Of a wedding and also OF one of the
funniest indicents that ever occurred during
the performance Of that solemn ceremony.
The bride and groom were both natives of
sunny Italy, or sunny somewhere else. The
minister to oiiiclate had but short notice. and
tant and impressive performance could be
indulged In He did find time to Inform the
contracting parties. however. that when he
asked them questions they must answer, and
OH this Information the funny incident
hinged. for when the blushing and dusky
bride bride was interrogated. "Do you take
this man for better or for worse?" she bland.
ly answered 'Worse."
The mistake was too much for the groom,
who guirawed In loud tone the merrment
spreading through the family Of the bride
every one Joined in. The bride. blushing but
moment before. did not see anything fun
ny about the matter. and proceeded to burst
into tears. These were finally dried and the
ceremony was concluded.-Port Townsend
