LAKE LINE COMBINE.

Section.

Section.
The shippers CT Chicago have formed a pool
under the name Of the Lake Lines Traffic
association, and there is considerable of in
terest behind the name to the people of the
Northwest who deal with common carriers.
The new pool it is said, has been arranged
10 act in cooperation with the Joliet Traffic
association which may mean that the West
EN- Freight association may have a hard row
10 hoe. The lines which have united under
the name Of the Lake Lines Traffic assoca-
ton are the West Transit company, Union
Steamship company. Erie & Western Trans
pCrtatOn company, Northern Steamship COM
Fany, Lackawanna Steamship company. Union
Transit company and the ST. Paul. Mime
apOls q Buffalo company, nearly all of
which are represented by agents in St. Paul.
Shippers at the foot of the lake are now
virtually at the mercy of the new pool. As
the lines mentioned control nearly all Of the
large boats which enter Chicago harb0r. they
will be enabled to control rates. especially
when the new association. by cooperating
with the Joint Traffic association, can dictate
terms to the Atlantic coast. A railroad Off
cial said yesterday, in speaking of the mat
ter: The day is about over when We can
play the all-rail lines against the al-lale
lines or vice versa, as the rates from both
organizations viii now come from practically
the same source. Thus the old competition
between the lake and rail lines is dying out.
1t was that competition which brought the
rates Of both organizations down to a min
imum.' -t.-

THE sTREET-CAH BUSINESS.

We are inclined TO think that not as
many people as usual will leave Rich
mond this summer for the seaside and
the mountain resorts. The attractions
here are 100 great. Our folks can't tear
themselves away from town.
The two street-car companies are having
very active rivalry. and each has its SUI
burban parks and vaudeville shows.
Never was there so much street-car riding
here: never were Richmonders such great
patrons of public amusements-and never
did amusements cost them so little.
1t is said that we are vaudeville mad,
which is a SANDER, of course, but VINO
would exchange the delights of this town,
at this season, for the humdrum exis-
tence of the watering places? And then
we have n rnenagerie, too Cat Lakeside
ParlO and those who cannot conscien-
tiously patronize the "circus," can always
find pleasure in taking the children TO
see the animals"
Seeing how very crowded our street cars
are afternoons and nights, we are prompt
cd TO believe either that the masses are
not so moneyless as they are reputed 10
be. or else that they stint themselves
i'm other directions so that they may
have their peasure-g giving and health
restoring street-car rides.

be given TO the Roanoke platform. WIN
out a doubt. especial prominence VIII
be given to the free-silver plank. A de-
cleration against trusts would also De
popular: but. as In Ohio, we expect 10
see the Chicago platform endorsed anu
reafiirmed as an entirety. Inc UNIV
Democrats have set the pace ana inc
other States will follow in the same gait.
This we think, ought to be DONE ana
will be done.
We Judge that the Ohio platform Is
very accountable TO Mr.. Bryan, as friends
of his controlled the convention, anu
every mention Of his name there was
anplauded TO the echo. Indeed, some OF
the speakers who could not get applause
otherwise. soon found that they, could
accomplish their object by Juggling In
the name OF Mr.. Bryan. and ms ,hey
did so often as to excite criticism.
But TO return to the Virginia platform
question. We believe that that adop'eo
at Roanoke will, for all practical put-
noses be the same as that adopted III
Ohio. We shouldn't wonder II there were
lutions relating to State affairs imam
over resolutions relating to natioiai
affairs. The Democrats OF Chariot'e'
through their Executive Committee nave
declared that "the Democratic party III
convention assembled on the llth OIL
August. 1891, should declare unequivocahy
in favor Of retrenchment ana re-
form. and the utmost economy In the
administration of the government IN or
der that the State may Faithfully meet
its increasing burdens without increasing
taxation"
Something will have to be said in the
Roanoke platform about retrenchment III
State and county expenses and some
thing about constitutional amendments
and it may not be an easy matter TO
focus the sentiment of the convention OIL
hand into a resolution or two, unless
cosideration be. given to this matter IN
advance So let the leaders of the party
think the question over.

At the last meeting of the Democratic
state Committee--when the Roanoke con-
vention was ordered-H. l.. W., OF the
Washington Post, was here, and tele-
graphed his paper as follows:
"Talks with members of the Stale Com
mittee tonight Indicate that the next
campaign in the State Will be fousht
over the silver question This Is very
largely because there are no local issues
of Importance in the State. ana also pc
cause the Legislature elected win the
Governor next fall will choose sue
cessor TO Senator Daniel. All the lead
ers of the party favor making the free
coinage of silver issue the paramount one
In the campaign. The Chicago platform
will be reafiirmed.
"Senator Daniel, when asked tonight
nv the Post correspondent whether the
platform would be endorsed In It's en-
tirety. replied that he believed IL would
he If. however, he added. there should
he any question about bringing III eA-
traneous matter, We will simply reainrHl
the platform and single out Tor especlai
attention the four principal planks-sh-
yer, tariff. income-taX, and trusts. lnose
are the dominant issues, ana upon t"e"
| we will make our fight
"There is a belief among some OF the
Democrats that If government ownership
| Of railroads and the condemnation oil
the Supreme Court are again emphasized
| some disadvantage to the party may

So il would seem that there was nc
| question in Senator Daniers nina as ''
reaffirming the Chicago platform, pu'
rather what planks Of 1t should be "em'
| phasiZed."

The new law taxing alien labor In Penn
sylvana went into effect yesterday, ana
employers, whether individuals. associa-
tions partnerships, or corporations, VIII
be liable for a tax of 3 cents per day Tor
every unnaturalized alien they employ III
any department of labor.
Employers are especially authorized TO
deduct this tax from the wages of their
employees, and are made directly re-
sponsible to the county for the payment
of such tax. If any employers disre-
gard the law, they will not only be re-
quired to pay the tax, but Will be SUD-
iect to punishment for misdemeanor by
the imposition of a fine of not less than
$500 and not exceeding $1,000 for each
offence. The County Commissioners OF
each county are required to furnish
proper blanks to be used by employers
in making sworn returns.
This law applies to all classes OF en-
ployers whether they employ one man or
ten thousand men. The workingmen OF
every community are greatly interested IN
the strict enforcement of the law, and the
philadelphia Times says they will be
yigilant to the last degree TO nave the
tax collected for every days labor per-
