THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.
Judge Grosscup has happy faculty
of stating things right in language both
incisive and decisive. He discussed the
railroad situation the other night and
his statement was at once so terse,
concise and conclusive that The News
is impelIed to reprint it as follows:
after all is said it is the Individual
man at the head of his family that is
the determining unit of any government
that is to remain Republican,; and the
only atmosphere in which the individual
man will continue to grow to full civic
maturity is that which opens up to him
in all directions the avenues to q meas
urable successful life. True, men are
not born with the same faculties. Some
are born with brain Gtted to organize
great enterprises; some with talent to
hold together and drive forward enter
prises already organized; some with
ability to successfully do only small
things in small way; the great majority
of US with skill only to do that which
is given us to do, But, no man knows,
until after fair trial, what place is his
And in the atmosphere of equal condi-
lions alone will find his opportunity for
fair trial.
81 have on other occasions pointed
out that the present corporation policy
of this country that makes the proprie-
torship in the country seorporate prop
erty impossible, except to those skilled
in so-called methods of finance, is the
great iron bars across the door to in
dividual opportunity.
IA railroad policy that selects one per-
son from among all the people of a
community that he alone may survive;
or one community from all the. commu-
mites, that it alone may prosper, is a
heavy bolt on that door. Both policies
create individual. cases Of wealth. But
it is not wealth founded on merit. 1t is
wealth, rather, by kings prerogative;
the first through loanings.ttfse seal of the
state to enterprises that often the con-
science of the state would spurn; and
the second, by using the toll gates on
the our great highways to bar out all
who do not bring to the gatekeeper the
password of influence.
Both of these policies run athwart
that law of natural selections that hith-
erto has determined among us the meas
ure of each individuals success. Both
are unjust. Both are unrepublican.
Both must go.
'FThe new nation now rising, will have
neither. To each of the children of the
new nation the industrial command is:
Go forth, increase and multiply; and. it
is the first Business ST the nation to see
to it than this command be given the
equal conditionscon which alone it can
be fulfilled.
'"The big Drained railroad man has, it
seems to me, his hour of opportunity
now. Eet,him insist that their shall be
no confscation of his property or no ar
rangement of control or supervision
that in the long run will amount to
confscation. Behind him, on such an
issue, the country will be found to
stand.
''But let him recognize also that in
the nation there resides the reserve
power of supervision and control, a

GOLDEN RULES OF ECONOMY.

Town and country would seem to be
Numerically opposed to each other.
Cheap fabrics are never worth buy
ing; good fabrics reduced in price are
quite another thing.
The difficulty in dress now Is the va
rious occasions, each demanding such
very different clothes.
Get the materials as good as pos
sible, and the styles excellent II you
can afford to pay for them.
Have few clothes and wear them;
do not put them by and forget them,
and spend a fortune on renovations
when you call them to mind.
A clever woman who must count
'the siller Warily" adopts a certain
style of her own, which she modifies
according to the dictates Of fashion.
Women should always be dressed
appropriately, and never buy anything
which is a marked fashion of the mo-
ment, because 1t dates and must pass
away.
A woman skilful with her needle
can often buy for a very little last
years garment or hat at the sale,
which she can transmOgrify, and it is
worth while from economical motives.

Dying faith weakens virtue"
writes the philosopher. From which
we are led to believe that the world
at large is extremely virtuous-with q
reverse English.
Over beyond the Mountains Of En-.
deayor lie the Valleys of Peace. They
are pleasant valleys, and there is the
satisfaction Of knowing that we reach

if we do reach them.
The people who do not believe the
stories they tell are called skeptics.
Those who are looking for the worst
of it are pessimists. Folks who do
the best they can every day, and lie
down to pleasant dreams, are opti-
mists. The choice rests with you.--
