THE RAILWAY PROBLEM.

There is no class of property in the
country 80 closely pressed, so Jeopardlz-
ed. as that of railways. Excessive con-
struction and close competition having
reduced their earning chances TO the
minimum. there came hard times with
collapsed values and the determination
of the people. through their legislators,
to- hold the railways responsible for all
of the financial troubles of the times.
Able writers have taken up the Ques-
ton. experts have gone before legisla-
lures and the congress with representa-
tons of the real situation, but as yet
no relief has been afforded; what will
happen would be hard TO predict The
railways cannot go on forever sinking
money and paying taxes. There must
be found a way out for them or q uni
versal collapse of the systems which no
receivershipS or reorganZiations can
prevent or save anything out of, will oc-
cur. What effect such threatened dis
aster would have on the commercial,
financial and industrial interests of the
country can only be guessed at. An
anonymous eastern writer says that the
action of Senator Foraker of Ohio in
introducing modified form Of the Pat
terson bill amending the interstate COM
merce law so that freedom of contract
between railways 10 maintain just and
reasonable rates will be legalized, Is
highly commended by the business in
terests throughout the country. The
possibilities of remedial legislation be-
fore the full effects of the disastrous
supreme court decision are felt viii
probably prevent further declines in
values and tend to hold matters station
airy until the attitude of congress is bet
ter understood.
II is regarded very generally in COM
mercial and business circles that the
only course Is for the railroads, the
shippers. the railway employees. the pub

TEESSALY DOOMED.

Ih6SoAb4 OOO1AGAOs
The sultan having made Up his mind
to take in Thessaly as demanded by his
people, has sat down to wait until the
powers get into a quarrel over the mat
ter before he reefs the final cinch. He
whiDped Greece and conquered the
proyince, and according to the rules Of
war he must be Unidentified, first by the
payment of expenses and then by the
nrize he won. That this trouble is Il
long ways from being satisfactorily set
tled, or settled in any way, Is evident
from the tone of tie dispatches from
day to day. The sultan knows that the
concert will not be a concert long il he
but stands pat upon his demand for
what would be conceded were the de-
mand made by any other power under
like conditions. Russia endorses the
claim of Turkey. For some reason the
car has entered, seemingly, into an
agreement for the rehabilitation Of the
Ottoman empire. Turkey is power,
after all. great power. for she knows
how to fight. and as an ally to Russia
as against England, or all Europe for
that matter. IS important. The acquisi-
ton Of Thessaly adds TO her import
ance. Besides. Russia largely holds the
vast block of Turkish bonds, and the
stronger she is the more surely Will the
interest be paid, An insight into an
other motive for the cars attitude is
afforded by the statement that negotia-
tons have been going forward for Rus
sian possession Of part Of the Black
Sea nttoral In Asia Minor. The great
ambition. the greatest, possibly, of Rus
sia. is to push down to the Mediterran-
can. Nothing the st. Petersburg gov
eminent can do TO accomplish this OBJ
iect will be left undone even 10 max
ing both Thessaly and Greece provinces
of the Turkish empire. King or Emper-
or William. who is madly anti-English
is without question playing into the
hands of the car. This would be
more promising scheme to thwart Eng
land than ANYTHING he might do for the
Boer in South Africa
Austria is likely to follow the Ger
man policy wherever it may lead.
France is waiting. She is showing irri-
tation at the new relations between
Berlin and st. Petersburg. 1t is safe to
say that her long-existing friendship
for Russia will not stand the strain put
upon it by a Russo-German contract.
The car cannot have both Of these ir-
reconcilable enemies as allies. OF the
two he would naturally prefer Ger
many,
This division Of the powers-England
and France against Russia, Germany
and Austria, with Turkey a good deal
of a power herself-would present de-
cidedly interesting situation, full OF dra-
matte possibilities and not propitious
for political liberty and the progress Of
Europe.
But there may be a sudden shifting
of scenes. Emperor William is the most
peculiar monarch of modern times. The
object of his love today may be the OBJ
;ect of his hate tomorrow, and vice YER
sa. His policy Of today may be revers-
ed tomorrow
Germany's influence in the councils of
Europe must diminish. With England
hesitating and hating. the fact is con-
snicuous that the one self contained, de-
termined. aggressive, marching, ire
mendous power at this time in the Old
World is Russia.
