THE RAILWAY PROBLEM.

j. w. Blythe in an interview in the
Washington Post.-The railway prob
lem as 1t Is now presented to the
American people, is a very complicated
and serious one, and yet I do not doubt
that some reasonable and just mode of
settling 1t will be discovered.
1t is a question into which a multi
tude of factors enter. Take, for in
stance, the constant and never ceasing
cry of the public for better service and
increased facilities. The incessant plea
Is for more trains, for faster trains, for
better station, buildings and the like.
All these must be supplied, no mat
ter how great the additional expense
to the roads. Millions upon millions of
dollars will be expended for better
ments in the next few years by all the
leading lines, in answer to this popular
demand. On the other hand, the tax
gatherer is wide awake to the duties
of his office, and is demanding more
and more in the way Of contributions
from he roads to the public Golfers.
Now, then comes the agitation for
regulation Of rates. The interstate
commerce commission, reiterating its
impotency in a series of yearly COM
plants, puts itself in an attitude OF
hostility which some might deem un-
wise. AS regards some things, like the
prevention of rebates and discrimina-
lions, many of the railways would
gladly cooperate. The opinion is en-
tertained by competent men that there
Is law n authority sufficient now tc
put an end to rebates and inequalities
of charges. Finally, the railroads dc
no wish to make rates that are eTces-
siye and oppressive, for by so aoina
they would deprive themselves of The
thing they are all striving fora maxi
mum of revenue. But the situation
serious though 1t be, is by no means
hopeless. The American people, in the
long run. want to do the fair and reas.
enable thing, and there is no doubt
that the railroad case will be settled
in accordance with ideas of Justice an6
moderation,

The revision, If 1t is made, must

would take the trouble to get all the

make recommendations based upon
the facts and not to conform with their
preconceived ideas about revision. This
commission should have power to sum

slderation both the need of govern

lar schedules upon trusts and other
business enterprises. This commits

STONES SPEECH.

Down in the Missouri woods, where
live men whom Senator Stone may
call his constituents, his address in
the senate a few days ago, in which
he demanded that congress investigate
the allegations regarding campaign
contributions, has not brought forth
any poems in which he is vaunted as
a hero. Nor, as far as can be learned,
has it been the subject OF any elabor.
ately inscribed testimonials of affec.
ton, regard and faith sent to Mr..
Stone. The Honorable William Joel
has hooked up" with rather an unde-
sirable partner in Burke Cochran. To.
gether they have entered upon a cam.
paign to lay bare the facts, all Of them,
regarding the subscription to cam
paign treasures. They hays made q
demand that congress shall do the lay.
ing bare and they are making speeches
for that purpose.
In Missouri, where the people have
to be showed" they know that the
campaign is over and that such the
atricals as Judge Parker INDUCED in
are out of date. The Kansas City
Journal, generally regarded as a relia.
BILE mirror Of public opinion, has the
following criticism of Senator Stones
effort:
In times when issues have been
clearly formed and nothing is left but
to align the people for or against them
emotional oratory may be pardonable
and in some instances actually useful
But at present, when the greater pc.
litical problems are unsolved and are
still in need of the calmest and wisest
consideration, such rabid ranting as
the Hon. William J. Stone has just
given vent to can answer no valuable
purpose whatsoever.
Unless he shows decided improve.
ment he will have to take his rank in
the Tillman class. The effect he ere.
ated will not be likely to inspire the
confidence of his associates in his
abilities and gain him the chairman.
ship of important committees.
Mr.. Stone talks in the senate very
much as he talks on the stump when
~haranguing a lot of mossbacks in the
Ozark mountain counties. He in.
Weighed against trusts and corpora,
lions just as if they all were tainted
with corruption and organized for the
purpose of buying legislatures and op.
pressing and defying the people. He
seemed to be entirely unable to dis.
tinguish between the bad and the
good. He wants the whole system
upon which Jul industrial greatness
depends to be abolished simply be.
cause some concerns have done wrong
under it. This may be Mr.. Stones
idea of logical reasoning, but it is not
craftsmanship.
