oRAToRIcaL MR.. HUNTINGTON.

THE speech of Mr.. c. P. Huntington on last
Saturday night to his employees and to his
trusted friends not quite up to the standard
of Mr. w. H. Mills. This does not imply that it was
actually composed written by Mr. Mills, although
the masters lords and rulers in all lands frequently
employ their prime ministers to do such work for
them But Mr. Huntngton's life having been prn-
cpally occupied with business activities, he has had
no leisure for the cultivation of literature as was
fully exempihed in what known as the Cotton
letters, and therefore, it has been noticed for years
that when he social occasions to convey his ideas
to the public, as closely possible he follows the
style of Mr.. Mills This accounts for his occasional
references to ancient and modern history and to
other OF information that to a hard-headed
railroad manager are necessarily recondite

That long -hoped-for and ever deferred

sion on how the $500 200 voted for restrain

be forthcoming this summer. The Fed

there is little or no doubt that an ex-
tensive and detailed report on this par
ticular matter will accompany their annu-
al report, which is supposed to be ready
in July.
This is very cheering as far as it goes
Whether or not the report will be very

from Congressional and State legisla-
