Second, the contract itself and every

Some OF the minor features OF the
statute are fairly sufficient, but the ma
chinery for enforcing its substantive
propositions is fatally defective. Every
consideration Of private justice and
public welfare demands that railway
rates should be reasonably uniform to
all shippers and equitable between all
communities Until needfuI legisla-

must continue to rest under the respon-

tion. The results are gross discrimln-
ationS between individuals and gross
preferences between localities which
most always favor the strong and OPP
press the weak. Probably no one
thing today does 30 much as force out
the small operator and build up those
trusts and monopolies against which
law and public opinion boat alike in
vain, as discrimination in freight
rates.
"A further result in that railway
business is carried on largely in con-
ceded violation of law This condition
the present law is powcrless to con-
troll. The criminal remedies have
been applied and some convictions
have been had, but no substantial eff
feet has been produced and no satisfy
ing results can be obtained from that
course. Tho fact muy be morally cer-
tain, but the name, the date, the
amount, cannot be shown with the
particularly and certainty required
by criminal law.
''lf unrestricted competition pro-
duces discrimination, one obvious way
to prevent such discrimination is to
restrict competition. Whether existing
conditions would DO improved by le-
gHlizing railway contracts would de-
pend upon the extent to which the
agreemeiSts were made and actually
enforced by the carriers. So far rs the
commission can obtain information
there is at present no other great ma
tion which endeavors to enforce COM
petition between its railways, al
though in many cases that method has
been tried and abandoned. But just
as no other great nation today en-
forces competition between railways,
so there is no other great nation today
which docs not regulate and control
railway rates, II this country is to
change its theory Of railway regula-
tion, 1t should adopt the new theory
in Its entirety. Carriers ask authority
to combine in order to 6x and main
tain reasonable rates. But who shall
decide what rates are rcasonablep
Shall 1t be left TO the carriers to flx
their own rates, or shall the people
who grant the extraordinary privil-
ege reserve to themselves the right TO
determine this question?
1T docs not necessarily follow,
therefore, that permission should be
given the carriers to make these COM
binations. The evils attendant upon
restricted competition might be great
er than the benefits derived from it.
The rate should be removable as well
as stable uniform, and hitherto compe-
tition has been mainly relied npon for
that purpose. Now, If competition is
to be removed what is to take the place
Of II? The conclusion of the commits
sion in reference to agreements Of this
sort and the degree of control over
rates, which should be exercised by
public authority is substantially as an

HE EARNED HIS MEDAL.
Heroic Act OF u stokor on n British
WaTshlp.

Whrbntp
Towards the end OF the year 1897
the British torpedo-boat Thrasher,
with It's mates Lynx and Sunflsh left
st. Ives on passage to Falmouth. On
the way the Thrasher grounded on q
point, causing serious injury to the
boilers and the bursting of the main
feed-pipe, The burst pipe instantly
filed the stokehold with scaldlng
steam. In 1t were two stokers, Ed
ward Lynch and James Paul. All the
rest Of the boats company were land
ed on the rocks, but the doubling up
OF the deck had prevented the egress
Of the stokers by the starboard hatch
way. There was still port hatch
way, which was partially closed, and
towards this the two men made their
way, Lynch In the lead. Directly un-
der the hatchway and discharging
through 1t, was the break in the steam
pipe. Lynch rush through 1t safely,
and turned to help his mate Paul.
But an instant convinced him that
Paul was unable to follow. Then
Lynch lay down on the deck with his
head and face In the escaping steam,
seized hold OF the sinking Paul, and
by a remarkable exercise OF force and
tenacity drew him up on the deck.
Lynch then rose to his feet, but II
was observed that he was badly scald-
ed about the head, arms and upper
part Of the body. The surgeon began
to apply oil and wool to his burns, but
he repelled the attention. "Im all
right" he exclaimed; "look after my
chum! He's very bad!" He had said
nothing about the way he had rescued
Paul, but his manly conduct led the
surgeon to investigate, and 1t was as.
certained that, In order to rescue his
comrade, he had plunged the whole
upper part Of his body into what was
practically a boiling cauldron. More
than this, 1t appeared that Lynch had
previously sacrificed his own chance
OF escaping from the stokehold the
other way In order to stay with Paul
In recognition of this act Of selfsac.
rifice and bravery, Lynch was pre-.
sented with the Albert Medal of the
first class, which is given primarily
for gallantry in saving or attempting
to save life at sea, and in some cases
for similar acts ashore.

Bion in its annual report says;
In previous report to congress atten-
tion has been called to the vital re-
spects in which the act has proved de-
fective and inadequate. Some Of its
provisions were early seen to to be i'm
perfect, while others were SO uncertain
or ambiguous as to give rise to pro-
tracted litigation, resulting finally in
authoritative by the supreme court OF
the United States The commission
has taken much pains to explain the
various questions that have thus been
decided and the effects Of these adju-
dications in defeating the purpose of
the act. To state, that the law in It's
present condition cannot be enforced
Is onyto repeat what has already been
said. Until further and important
legislation Is enacted, the best efforts
At regulation must be feeble and dis
appointing.
'In our last annual report we not
only set forto In general terms the nee
ossity for amending the law, but form
ulated and proposed the specific
amendments which appear to us posi-
lively essential. With the renewal Of

commission is this regard remains un-
changed.

Enormous sums are spent in purchas-
Ing business and secret rates accorded

charges. The general public gets lit
tie benefit from these reductions, for
concessions are mainly confined to the
heavier shippers. All this augments
che advantages Of large capital and
tends to the injury and often to the
ruin Of smaller dealers, These are not
only matters of gravest consequence
to the business welfare of the country,
but they concern in no less degree the
higher interest of public morality.
ut is perfectly clear that observ-
ance OF tariff rates is entirely within
the power OF the railway managers,
and that it would be vastly for the adj
vantage of the railways as a whole. 1t
would, however, be difficult and often
ruinous for one railway to maintain
rates while its competitors make Sc
cret concessions, aLd it is also to be
admitted that justified or not, the re-
suits are substantially claimed by the
carriers.
