INDICATIONS are that the railroads
themselves will agree to the establish
ment of an Interstate Commerce Court,
TO have jurisdiction over rates, to pre-
vent any increase in the powers OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
to shield them from more drastic legisla-
ton. They fear that the Interstate
Commerce Commission might, in the
course of time, be so constituted as to
represent only the most rabid public SEN
timeut against corporations. With a
court whose members are appointed for
life. and composed of men Of character,
the railroads think their interests would
he safe One reason for the attitude of
the railroads is that they are being
threatened with such drastic legislation
by States, especially in the west that
tney are turning to the federal govern
ment to protect them from the lndigna-
ton of men they formerly treated with
high handed contempt. AS heretofore
stated Mr. A. j. Cassatt, president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, who last
Friday discussed the matter with the
President is now in accord with Presi
dent Roosevelt upon the necessity for
government supervision of railroad rates,
and A. b. Stickney, president of the
Chicago Great Western Railway, de-
clared in an interview the same day that
the government should regulate rates.
When big railroad corporations fall they
may always be relied upon to light on
ther feet.

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

President Roosevelt has decided to
take heroic action in settling questions
arising as to the distribution of iedersl
patronage in Virginia, but his plan puts
it in the hands of Representative Slemp
and his friends. There was a confer
ence at the White House last week be-
tween President Roosevelt and. Repre-
sentative Slemp, Mr. I. l.. Moore, at
torney for the Western District OF Vir-
giuia; Judge Lunslord l.. Lewis, attor-
ney for the Eastern District; John Blair,
of Christiansburg, and one or two others.
At this conference the President said in
plainest language that he proposed to al
low the patronage to be distributed
to and by the men who accomplish.
ed things for the republican party in
Virginia, and that he was tired Of the
continual squabbling over the matter. 1t
was at the suggestion OF the Presi-
dent that it was decided that Mr. Slemp
should call a conference OF the republican
members OF the Legislature, which should
ildiDt a VI luiNt W
recommendation TO the President when
appointment to federal Offices in the
State came up. The President said he
would follow these recommendations
wherever possible The decision of the
President to recognize Mr.. Slemp
unequiyocally will have some effect en-
the federal oiliceholders of Virginia. It
is rumored that there may be a change
at the clerkship of the United States
Court for the Eastern District, position
now held by George E. Bowden, of
Norfolk. There was tremendous slump
in the republican vote in Mr.. Bowden's
district last fall. II is said that per.
soDaI relations between Mr. Slemp and
State Chairman Agnew are pleasant
now, and that there will be no attempt
to disturb Mr.. Agnew in ihequiet tenure
of the job which he holds and has held
so long as collector for the Sixth Inter
