MIR. ADAMS TRIBUTE ToLHE.

We have already referred in these coll
umns to the address delivered some time
ago by Mr. Charles Francis Adams PC
fore the Historical Society Of Massac hu-
sets, in which he said that the wnc1e
country wa: under a debt Of gratitude to
General Robert e. Lee for discouragins
guerilla warfare after the surrender at
Appcmattox. Mr.. Adams also expressed
the opinion that the Southern Confeder-
ate soldiers who We're disposed to engage
in this sort of warfare refrained through
respect for General Lee.
In the New York Times of Sunday is
communication from Major r. =.
Saunders, OF Evington Va, in which he
confirms this opinion of MIR. Adams s.
lie says that he was stationed at Lynch
burg on the day Of the surrender, ana on
the evening Of that day some regiments
and battalions Of Confederate cavalry
had come UP from Appomattox Court
house. In the suburbs he noticed a body
OF horses drawn up in close order be-
fore one Of the faces of mud fort. On

ENGLAND LEARNS OF AMERICA.

1t was announced the other day II, he
public print that number of officials IT
the Northeastern Railway. Of England,
had come over to this country and were
spending some time In the railroad CEN
tiers. making a study of the American
method of operating railroads and con-
lucting the general affairs of such cor
porations.
England may well come to the A,1eri-
can school for instruction In such mat
ters; Cor we are not only the great
lest railroad builders i'll the world.
but we are undoubtedly the most
successful operators Of railroads. LeaN-
ing out the question of running trains,
the radical difference between the finan-
cial management of an American road
and the English method is that it is the
rule in this country to set aside each
year a certain part Of the earnings to
be applied to necessary improvements,
and the money thus expended is charged!
up to the account Of operating expenses;
whereas, in Great Britain the net earn
ings are applied TO dividends, and bonds
are issued from time ito time to provide
tho money for improvements And so it
has come to pass that American rail-
roads have become more and more VAL
ualole from year to year without increas-
ing their bonded debt, while there has
been increase of such debts on the Eng,
lish roads until their fixed charges are
now something enormous
Tho Southern Railway Company did
not begin to pay dividends, even on its
preferred stock, until the earnings were
sufficient to make the needful improve
1nents and to leave a. comforta bic balance.
Even then the company did not pay full
five per cent. on it's preferred stock. al
though earning considerably more than
five per cent It paid two per cent and
then three per cent and then four per
earnings for improvements and carrying
a round sum from time to time to the
surplus fund. The Norfolk and Western
Road pursued the same course, and so
did the Chesapeake and Ohio Road. The
Seabcard Road is amply able to pay a
ulf1ueHu OIL us pIeieiteu sum, Hut ~
dividend has yet been declared, asst is
the policy of the management to put tie
road in first-class physical condition DC
fore anything is paid to the stockholders.
This sort Of policy is supreme wisdom.
The result Of it has been to put Ameri-s
can railroads in the best possible physi-
cal condition, and so to put them in prime
condition to earn dividends. It is no Won
have prospered and that their stocks
have largely enhanced in value.

j SCIENTIFIC VIEW OF TRUSTS.

Mr.. James B. Dill. Of New York city.
delivered an address on SATURDAY even
ing before the Merchants Club, OF mi
caco In which he discussed the uses ana
abuses of trusts. Mr.. Dill did not deal
much in theories lie confined his re-
marks to existing conditions He recos
,,izes that the combination of capital is
: force and so he said he would spend
No, time In asking why it was here 1ur-
Their than to say that it was part OF Inc
best growth and sound expansion OF the
American nation, essentially part OF The
aggressive American policy. Of CONNER
cial supremacy.
He compared the trust movement TO
the development Of electricity. Halt
century ago, said he, every habitation
i,risued with lightning rods in an en-
deavor to avert electricity, whereas The
house OF to-day is not equipped with in
struments to avert this force, but is wired
to receive and utilize the electric current
The great object Of science in this day
is not to suppress electricity but to con-
troi and utilize it as a working force.
lie thinks that that principle should be
applied to trusts. Many of the attacks
upon combinations said he, have had
as their aim the suppression of the move
ment rather than the calculation of the
subject and the utilization Of the force.
Such attacks, legislative or otherwise,
while dangerous to the combination re-
act against the public
The tendency of industrial operations
to enter the field OF legislation and thence
to go into politics is a most imminent
danger. Unwise legislation against in
dustrial combinations, legislation in many
instances enacted in response to ill-ad-
vised popular clamor, invites and some
times forces the industrial corporation 10
enter the field of legislative competition,
and when once in that field the corpo-
ration learns by experience that it cannot
only defeat anti-corporate measures in
the usual way, but can even procure !iro
corporate legislation. Any attempt Oil
the part of industrial organizations to
enter, voluntarily or defensively, into the
field OF legislation is tendency which
IS to be regarded with grave apprehen-
sion.
This seems to us to be one Of the most
sensible presentations of the subject that
we have seer. Combination is undoubtcd-
~ a great factor in our modern economy
and is recognized as such. 1t is absurd
to talk about abolishing corporations. In
this day of great enterprises they are
absolutely necessary. If we should abol-
ish them We should go back a hundred
years and should be unable to compete
with the nations Of The earth with which
we are now in sharp competition. Cor
porations are here and here to stay,
just as surely as electricity is a working
force IN the industrial world. It is wis
dom, therefore for the people of the land
who rule to use the corporations for
their good, just as they employ electricity
for lighting and heating and moving ma
chinery. We have for years had an abid-
ing faith that this problem would final.
" solve itself. We have more faith to-
day than ever before.
