The True Business OF Railroads

Our American railway companie 8
made a very natural but very grave
mistake, in the opinion of the Rail
way and Engineering Review" when
they went in for mining properties,
cattle ranges, lumber interests, etc.
They made q graver mistake, says an
exchange, when they misused their pow
er to crush out private competitors in
those lines, forcing them to dis
pose of their property at loss.
That fastened the enactment of the
interstate commerce law. AT first the
railroad managers resented congress S
interference, but now they are getting
rid OF their outside interests and con-
fining themselves more and more to
their legitimate work. The Railway
and Engineering Review" commends
them. 1t says
So rapid and radical has been this re-
form that it is probable a very few
wears will see the entire abolition of
this class of business in connection
with rsilrosding. The business of q
railroad is purely and exclusively that
of a common carrier for hire, and its
relation to the public demands that
1t conduct itself so Is to
be able to do equal JUS
tice to all of it's patrons. 1t may not
with propriety enter into competition
in q commercial way with any one de-
pendent upon it for service, nor can
its officers, with any more propriety,
engage in any enterprise that is in
com petition with other enterprises
located upon its lire.

Buffalo Express.


The Central Passenger Association,
the territory of which includes Buffalo,
appears to be engaging in strong
campaign against the ticket brokers.
1t is working on the lines of enlisting
the support of local communities which
come in and ask for special rates for
big conventions and gatherings. Sew
eral such cases are just now under con-
sideration. For the Sons of Veterans
meeting at Omaha on September 18th
to 10th, the Central Passenger
One fare plus S4 for the round trip
from Chicago, and for the Commercial
Travellers day, on September oath,
the lines are also willing to make low
rates, but both are contingent upon
the Omaha people undertaking to pre-
vent the scalping of these tickets.
Unless they will undertake to do this
the roads will not make the rates.
The Omaha Exposition officials have
been asked to state what they intend
to do in the matter.
Applications received from the Elks
for low fares to Canton and Akron, o.,
have been dealt with in the same way.
The Canton city council has already
passed an snti-scalping ordinance and
the Akron council is considering sim
liar measure. Pittsburg adopted such
an ordinance some months ago in view
OF the triennial conclsve of Knights
Tenn to be held there in October.
1t looks as though the railways would
succeed in covering the East
ern territory with anti-scalping ordi-
nances. The Western roads do not
seem to have meet with much success
at Omaha, where similar plan was
pursued. There is however, q lurking
suspicion that the Omaha people did
not do as much as they might to pre-
vent the ticket-brokers scslpipg ex-
position rates.

Plans For Our New Navy,

A Washington dispatch says:-The
navy department will ask congress to
authorize the construction of the lar

and cruisers afioat-vessels without
equals in any foreign fleets, and incOm-
parably superior in offensive power.
speed and endurance to any of the
magnificent ships which few weeks
ago destroyed Cervera's squadron.
This decision, reached at meeting OF
the naval board of construction to-day,
will be urged upon congress for prompt
action, supported by arguments of the
most convincing character.
The board practically agreed to be-
gin the design of three battle ships OF
between 5000 and IL, 900 tons displace-
ment. with at least nineteen knots
maintained speed, a radical advance
| from II, 525-ton, sixteen knot ships OF
the Alabama and Kearsarge class
which now represent the maximum.

It was also determined to
recommend three first class cruisers
of about 12,C00 tons and of not less
than twenty-five knots speed
nearly half again as large as the New
| York and the Brooklyn, and of from
three to four knots greater speed. In
addition to these, q class of protected
and partly armOred cruisers of between
5000 or 5000 tons, similar to the Olym-
pis, Admiral Dewey's flagship, but OF
much higher speed, WAS favorably con.
sidered, Is we'll as new class of $500

board are of the opinions that no more

water line of warships in tropica

marine growth upon their hulls, re
ducing their speed in every instance
after few months more than % pei

60 per cent.
The question of gun calibers and
armor on the new battle-ships ant
first-class cruisers is still unsettled
but the chief Of ordnance, Capt O'Neill
ri is president Of the board, announ
ced his readiness to agree to a max
imum caliber of II inches. if thereb,
a more widely extended disposition O
armOr could be obtained, with greater
speed and greater coal endurance. HI
also favored an attempt to secure tn,
unprecedented speed of twenty-fou
knots for the huge armored cruiser
and minimum of twenty knots TO
the battle-ships.
The battle-ships will be designed t,
whip any fighting vessel in the world
, of whatever class, and the cruisers ar
to be more formidable than any vessel

the grading on the branch line into
