| GOVERNMENTAL RATE MAKING,
T>Ha opponents Of the proposition te
j give the Federal government fuller
powers to end the rebate system. 10 es-
tabllsh maximum rates and regulate the
drawback evils present some very pretty
arguments. and as distractions they ap-
pear unobieotionable.
These arguments are sii based on the
assumption that the railroads are mere
business enterprises and must be con-
Quoted as any other business is con-
Quoted But both in Tact ana Ia law there
Is a distinction, they are quasi-pubno cor
poratlons. Ga which the whole people have
Ian especial interest
For example take the State Of Della
ware. We have but one railroad system.
with the exception of a few miles Of road
IN The upper portion Of The state which
Is only nominally under q separate man
agcmsut. Can the Delaware railroad be re-
garded as an ordinary business enter
prlseg Suppose, for instance, having a
monopoly, lt should charge the Kent
county farmer as much for delivering his
produce IN Philadelphia or New York as
q charges the farmer Of Virginia or North
Carolina. would We be Justified in re-
garding It as business such as required
no governmental interference3 Suppose
again that az town on navigation it
should put up the freight rates when
there Is no boat running from the
wharves, and put down the rates the mo-
ment boat Is put IN commission. should
We regard d as a matter 10 be regulated
by competition when there is no oompeti-
tloni
Then suppose a trust that has mo-
nopoiy in meat, OIL coal or steel secures
very low rate and the smaller COM
paniss that are trying to compete are
charged a hisher rate. resulting IN ruin
to these concerns and the end OF that
eomoertion which benefits the public,
shall VIC say that collectively Ghat is as
d govornmenD we have no redressq
There is a howl at government rate
making but the government doesn't crave
the privilege Of making rates. It is con-
cerned only I'm reforming those admitted
abuses which the railroads have neglected
TO reform. Indeed, in the true sense. few
people wish the government TO go into
the business OF rate-malsing. But It is
proposed that In disputed onses somc
governmental authority shall establish
maximum rate. and IN addition shall pro-
hlbit Determinations. There Is wan that
many railroads have lost money and It
would be remarkable had they not: but
other enterprises have lost money, 100
and IN many Instances through railroad
discrimination.

From the New York Sun.
There is good reason for believing that
Mayor Weaver means business means TO
hght the case an the way TO the Supreme
Court Of the Unhed states II necessary,
lie has never been classed with the fools,
and in the present circumstances only a
fool would hiekeriip into momentary inde-
pcndence with the intention of going out
lgnominiously soon afterward under an
extinguisher I'm the hands Of municipal
tyranny.
We congratulate the honest people Of
Philadelphia upon the strong indications
OF backbone in the person of the Mayor
charged with the guardianship Of their
interests. Nobody but fool IN his place,
we repeat, would have gone TO the length
Of bis demonstration of Tuesday unless
he meant 10 stick d out and was consci-
Gus OF qualities in himself enabling him
10 meet public expectations.
But why should the truly virile and
vertebrate qualities OF the Hon. John
Weaver have been SO long I'm manifest
ing their oxistence7 Why should he have
been regarded until now as an integral
and subservient part OF the machine
against which he has turned?
The answer 10 these questions must be
afforded by events 60 come Perhaps he
has always been at heart a reformer OF
municipal conditions and has awaited the
opportunity OF proceeding 20 deeds with
The advantage of the support OF an over
whelming public sentiment Perhaps he
sees for the first time the chance for
repetition OF the memorable revolution OF
1888. rerhaps-it would be pleasant to
think so-the continued prayers Of the
devout have not been without effect in
awakening his perceptions of right and
wrong There is no ground for suspecting
that Mayor Weaver has been possessed
suddenly by exalted notions Of his political
future. Having been born as we under
stand, IN England, he Is not eligible even
for the Office OF Vice President.
The simplest explanation, as matters
stand today. subject TO revision if need
be. is that the remarkably regeaerate
Mayor Of Philadelphia is playing not to
the galleries but TO his own conscience,
and that he has the wit to perceive where
the iron is hot and the courage TO strike
and strike hard for the sake of his fellow
citizens and OF his own good name.

COUNTY OFFICIALS
INSPECT TURNPIKE
Levy Courtmen Rode Over
Lancaster Road-In Bad
Need Of Repairs

The Lancaster turnpikr was inspected
1 yesterday afternoon by the members o.
the Levy Court and was found TO be
in bad condition. The farmers alons
the pike are aroused over its condition
and Il may be that the court will do
something for the road IN a short
time.
The Levy Courtmen We're met at
silverbrook cemetery by persons inter-
ested in the road IN teams.
Each member of the court was IN
a different carriage with some resident
to explain the road and surroundings
10 him. The road was inspected 20 the
Pennsylvania line, about nine miles in
an, and that il was sadly in need of
repairs was painfully impressed upon
the Levy Courtmen as they jolted and
bounced along the uneven highway.
Arriving at Hockessin, the Levy
Courtmen had luncheon. and then were
escorted to n meeting i'm the Odd
Fellows Hall, where fully $50 residents
cf Mil Creek and Chrlstiana hundreds
were assembled. IL was the largest
turn out in the interest of one partlc-
ular road that the Levy Courtmen have
yet encountered.
w. Frank Taylor of HoclSessin, was
chairman Of the meeting and j. Frank
White was secretary
Addresses advocating the immediate
Improvement OF the turnpike were made
by Lilburne Chandler, Register Of Wills

Judge Philip L. Garrett, william Moore
and John O'Neil.
Deputy Judge Garrett, on behalf OF
Samuel Garrett offered to furnish with
out cost to the county enough stone TO
improve the turnpike and several other
farmers made similar offers, as the con-
tlsuous county abounds i'm stone and
rock.
County Commissioner ReardOn and
Swithin Shortlidge of Chester county,
Pa, desired the Delaware part OF the
turnpike improved. as the extension in
Delaware county is now being improved
They said that three miles OF rock and
macadam road in Chester county We're
built for $4,000. The road was excayat-
ed two feet, rock was piled in and the
surface was macadamized. The person
present were greatly interested I'm the
comparative cost of the Chester county
and Delaware roads, the latter having
cost about $4,000 or $4,000 a mile.
