GENERAL MLEWEE'S VINDICATION


1t affords us great pleasure to print this morn
ing a letter from Ex-Governor Morton W "'n
eral McLewee. in which the former dscloses
the successful result Of his endeavor 10 repair
as far as possible the wrong which the latter
received at his hands. The incident 10 WHO"
this communication relates did not diminish
public respect for a gallant officer OF the Ma
tional Guard, but neither was there, after the
circumstances had become known any strong
disposition to ccnsure severely an amabie
Executive without experience in military al
fairs for hasty action based on bad advice.
The technical complaint which led TO Eenerai
McIewees abrupt dismissal after faithfni
service Of almost twenty-five years was merely
that he had permitted parts Of his annual re-
port for the year 1896 TO be published before IL
had been formally filed in the Adjutant-Gen-
erals office, whe:e, by the way, it never mas
been filed. This was subterfuge, for such
documents are usually given to the press IN
advance The real motive of the advice which
induced Governor Morton in the last hour OF MS
term to dismiss the Inspector-General was the
structures upon the military establishment which
his report contained Those structures were
made in obedience to sense of duty ana Win
an honest purpose. The Inspector General was
I'm the official report which he was required TO
render and though 1t was generally felt ut the
time that Governor Morons right to dismiss
him, subsequently disputed and still in doubt,
was absolute, it was also felt that ,rivial
breach of discipline had been far too severely
punished
That view Of the case came to he shared by
Mr.. Morton himself after his retirement to prl-
vate lfe and as was TO be expected. he did not
content himself with a private expression or
regret. He would have been glad If his sue
cessor had been able TO find legal warrant
for revoklng an ill-consldered order, but Gov
ernor Black doubted his power 10 take that
course. He has. however signifed his readl-
ness 10 exercise his uDquestiOned right to di-
rect that n full and honorable discharge he
granted 10 General McLewee, and by that
means. as now seems certain, reparaton FOR an
unmerited severity will be made. General Me
Lewee has applied for his discharge, and will
undoubtedly receive it within a few days. 1t
is much to be regretted that Executive compli-
ance with vain and selfish counsel should have
prematurely deprived the State Of his valuable
services but there il reason to hope that eX
istlng circumstances may give him the oppor
tunty to accept an honorable appointment in
the National Guard and complete an admirable
record.
In any case take pleasure in congratulate
ing General McLcwee upon a practical vlndi-
cation TO which, as he cordially Acknowledges,
The Tribune has substantially contributed and
in expressing to Mr.. Morton our hearty appre-
citation of his sollcitude to make atoncment for
an unintentional injustice.

the truest answer Is to be found in the present
colonial system itself. The colonies are ao-
ministered as Departments OF France az 'ne

which weigh heavily upon the taxpayers, goes

RAILWAY COMPETITION.

The decision to abandon the Western Joint
Traffic Bureau surprises nobody Long ago i
became apparent that the attempt TO prevent
competition between the transporting companies
could not succeed. unless by methods which
the decision Of the Supreme Court last year
rendered untenable. 1t may be questioned
whether even with those methods in operation
the competition could be restrained. Probably
the formal abandonment of the association has
no practical meaning for the collection OF sta
tistics and the compilation Of reports largely
deceptive cannot benefit railroads. their owners
or creditors, if all agreements are as completely
dsrpgardcd as Of late they have been.
Nor has the public any reason TO regret the
failure TO restrict competition The transport
ing OF products Is necessary service TO the
public. and one for which ii may willingly make
liberal compensation, but it is never possible TO
determine what compensation Is liberal and
not excessive unless transporting companies
are sometimes pushed by open competition to
make the lowest rates they can. 1t is simple
history that the rates called .'uinOus and de-
structive in every period OF excessive competi-
ton have presently become recognized as the
customary and proper charges for Transports
ton and have been proved entirely consistent
with the payment OF full interest and good divl-
dends by well-nanaged roads.
That Is the main point Of difficulty with
fair minded public. 1t does not wish TO rob
the railroads of legitimate and ample cOmpensa-
ton for their incidentally valuable services but
it has no means Of determining how far cconO-
mics in management and organization can re-
duce the cost OF transportation. The straight
truth is that the railroad companies themselves
do not know until they try aid they never try
until they are pushed by savag" competition to
reduce rates and expenses as far as they can.
At such times 1t Is found in every case that
more money has been wasted in some branches
Of organize ton. Official management or road
service than a big cut in freight rates would
ave cost. Considering :hc fact that railway
officials are human and have all the human
weaknesses in handling property not entirely
their own. failure To reduce expenses except
under the pressure Of necessity is 10 be expect
ed. The public is not greatly in error, there
fore. if il believes occasional periods Of unrc
stricted and savage competition between rail
roads necessary to its interests and in the long
run beneficial to the railroads themselves and 10
their owners
