THE DEATH 0r0HAnL.ES a. pANA.

Railroad Regulations.

In closing his report to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Statistician
Adams says: Had the interstate
commerce law been faithfully observed
during the last five years. it is believed
that the depression in the railway in
dustry would, in some measure at
least. have been averted; for it is be-
yond question that the remarkable
fluctuations III the several items of the
income account since 1892 cannot be
fully accounted for by corresponding
fluctuations Ia the volume of business
transacted. The figures presented in
this respect are an unanswerable ar
gument in favor of the enforcement of
the law. and should be accepted as am
pie warrant for such amendments to
the act to regulate commerce as are
necessary to secure it's enforcement"
1t ought to be evident to those, who
are opposed to government ownership
of railroads. that the need of strength
ening this or some other government
commission should not be disregarded.
The public is not disposed to hold the
government altogether unaccountable
for railroad mismanagement and if one
way of regulation does not prove eff
fective another is likely to be tried.

A Good Appointment,

Governor Powers made an admirable
appointment when he named Hon. L..
c. Morse of Pittsfield. for trustee of
the Reform School. Mr.. Morse has
always been an ardent Republican, is a
man of affairs, progressive in the best
sense of the word. and his acquaint-
.ance with the affairs of the State and
public men enhances his qualifications
for the position. 1t is extremely desir-
able that the trustees of this school be
selected with care that those be chosen
who shall enter upon their duties with
intelligent interest in the purposes of
that institution. The reform school
has been favored in this respect, as
the advancement accomplished there
gives evidence. and the nomination of
Mr.. Morse is in thorough accord with
all this.

PopuIlsts More Rational Than the Popocra,s

Z Just at present the Populists are act
ing in more rational manner about
their party organization than are the
Democrats or to be exact the Popo-
Gratis. A few weeks ago George F.
Washburn of Boston, announced that
the alliance between his party and the
Popocrats was broken off. Many
thought he spoke without authority
but the leading men have since con-
firmed the statements Washburn made
and there no longer seems to be any
doubt but that. for the present at least,
those who believe themselves to be in
charge of the destines Of that politi-
cal organization intend to run it inde-
dendently of the Popocratic organiza-
ton. Senator Allen writes Washburn
that the POpulists must march under
their own banner, Senator Marion But
Ter is of the same opinion and Senator
PETER believes that while the Popo-
Gratis made bold advance toward
Populism there remain some doctrines

A Merited Recognition.

Hon. S. w. Matthews Governor Powers
has paid a merited compliment to an
efficient and painstaking official Mr..
Matthews has been at the head of this
important State department since its
the high rank it enjoys as one of the
best conducted labor bureaus in the
country.
| None of our State reports have been
in greater demand both in and out of
the State. than have those of Mr.. Mat
thews. They have contributed to the
official literature of Maine a wealth Of
Information pertaining to its indus
tries and resources. whose importance
and value are coming to be more and
more appreciated.
In our issue of yesterday.we reviewed
at some length his mastery report for
| 1896, a work that merits the closest
study of the people of our State, and
| which will enchance the already we'll
established reputation of it's author.
In &is social and official life no State
official enjoys greater popularity. or
has Wider circle of friends. than does
our genial labor commissioner Not
only is Mr.. Matthews a clear and force
full writer. but he is one of the best
public speakers in our State. His voice
has been heard in many campaigns in
support of Republican principles. and
in none more effectively than the one
that resulted last November. after
desperate struggle with the advocates
of State socialism and a debased cur
rency. in the triumphant election of
Mckinley and Hobart.
In re-appointing Mr. Matthews to the
office he has filled so faithfully and
well. Governor Powers has not only
recognized the worth of a stgong Off
cial. but he has also performed an act
that will give general satisfaction to
the people of Maine.

Less heroism than that displayed by
an obscure freight conductor on the
Pennsylvania railroad. Saturday, has
been, as the theme of poet or orator, a
source of inspiration to millions. This
man seeing four freight cars sliding
out onto the main track in front of an
approaching train leaped upon and
clambered to the top of the forward car
to set the brake. Seconds were prec-
ious, one more or less signifying sue
cess or death. There was one too few of
those seconds and the heroic brakeman n
was killed in the collision but his act
averted enough of the shock to pre-

which they must espOuse before being
taken into the fold without reserve.
Undoubtedly there arose bitterness
between the Popocratfc and the Popu-
list managers over something. during
the last campaign. Just what that
something was, of course, must be
imagined and the general conclusion.
we think, will be that it was the
''loaves and fishes" The leaders of
neither party are ignorant Of the great
source of their revenue nor will they
be found unmindful of 1t in the future.
The middle-of-the-road Populists are
a considerable faction that must be
brought back to the fold. and this can
best be done, probably, by severing OF
assuming to sever relations with the
Popocrats. Moreover, if the Populist
organization can be developed into a
more powerful political factor than it
has been a greater share in the re-
wards of the silver trust may be looked
forward to, when the time for another
distribution arrives. The Populist
managers. presumably, are not un-
mindful of this and are acting with
more sagacity than the discounted
Popocrats have shown Unless the lat
ter rouse themselves the Populists may
have the greater and more effective
organization four years from now and
some poor pettifogged Popocrat will be
found dangling aimlessly at the tail

At the annual town meeting at Col
umbia Falls last spring it was voted
that the assessors examine. records OF
securities. vessel property, etc. and all
property found should be taxed. This
the assessors proceeded to do and as
result one individual tax was raised
from 500 in 1895 to $500 in 1896. and
some others in nearly the same proper
ton. While nearly all paying $40 and
under were u less. Now some mathe-
maticians are trying to figure up what
those taxpayers owe the town reck-
oning back only ten years.
