TiHE lRAIUWAY DEAL.

Formal announcement has been
made OF the transfer Of the controlling
interest in the Wilmington City rail
way, heretofore held by local capital
lists. to a syndicate composed of monied
men from outside the city and state.
Rumors Of the deal have been rife
for several months, hence its consum-
nation occasions no particular sur
prise. The local holders OF stock valued
It at so much money. Outside men
were willing to, pay the price. 1t was
a straight business transaction, in
which the matter Of dollars and cents
was alone to be considered. Sentiment
could not he expected to occupy any
place in the transaction.
But the public has a vital interest in
the matter. Under the retiring man
agement 1t has been given excellenl
service, and, as rapidly as the earnings
OF the system would Justify there have
been extensions and betterments in
every department. 1t is the public hope
that the new owners, nomatter who they
may be, will maintain that high stand
ard of efficiency which has character
lied the system in the past and eyince
the same earnest desire to extend and
better it. II they do, the public will
not suffer. II they do not, then the
public interests are threatened.
But this is an age Of progression.
There is no retrogression in the matter
Of rapid transit. We believe that the
results OF the sale of the system VIII
be beneficial to the patrons OF the road
and that such extensions and trafric
deals will be made as to materially
cheapen the cost Of transportation to
points contiguous to Wilmington.
