no suggestions had reached him as to

4 Law Unto Themselves.
''If there had been in my mind a
lingering doubt about the wisdom of
eonferring the proposed authority upon
the commission. the statements which
have been made before your committee
by men connected with the railway COM
panies would have completely dispelled
it. Over and over again. it has been
repeated to you that rates are not made
with reference TO any known principle.
Distance is little considered the cost
of service is little consulted. These
railway men have. with great candor,
declared that rates have been made and
will continue to be made with refer
ence only to their view of the welfare
OF the territory Which their lines supply.
THAT means that the rates have been
and will be so adjusted as to afford the
largest revenue to the railway com
panies. 1t means that the railway conn
panieS have exercised the power, ana
insist upon its continuance, TO take
away the natural advantages of one
State or locality or city, and confer
them upon another State. locality, or
city, 1t means that railways have as

Correspondent the London Pail Mall
Gazette: The Italians are poor but
proud. and the latent dissatisfaction
at what they call the Economics" at
the Quirinal, which up to now has been
simmering, has at last boiled over, the
proverbial last straw being that Queen
Elena wore the same costume at the
races the other day that she appeared
in last season on the same occasion.
Could enormity go farther? But, all
the same, there is something to be said
for the grumblers. They certainly pay
16, 900, 900 francs (e640. 0oO) yearly to the
king, and almost the only return they
get-they SAYS two balls at the royal
palace. The king and queen never pat
ronize music or the drama, never enter
a private house, never pay visits, never
apparently interest themselves In any
of the II hundred and social OF
charitable affairs of the court set. So
the people pretend that when their
majesties do issue from their oriental
seclusion'' the queen should at least
have on a new costume; but, alas, they
are usually disappointed.
To probe the discomfort still further.
1t must be said that the Italians are
most suspicious that the economy
(Which really does EXIST does not go
for the benefit Of the royal couple, but
finds II. way to Montenegro-which is
like a red flag to a bull to them. THAT
our queen should make a brutta figura'
cut a bad figure) that Uncle Nicholas
9th prince of Montenegro may prosper
is intolerable,' they go bout mutter-
ing. But then, after all. what IA they
do about 1T?

Marketing Potato Crops.

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Had!ey Of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation. is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile Of the
Boston and Maine railroad before the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce. Nothing could better show how
n railroad works for the interest of the
localities which 1t serves.
A main dependence of the farmers OF
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, a%ggrcgating annually eight TO ten
million bushels, which find a market
largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New England.
The competition Of cheap water trans
portation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these potatoes
always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
nut of the truck farms of Michigan.
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought q tremendous yield
Of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
AT normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut Of the customary mar
kets n the potatoes would have rotted
on the farms. To help the potato grow
erS the railroads from Michigan made
unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes
to every readable market, even carry
ing them in large quantities to a place
SO remote as Boston. The AroostooE
growers had to reduce the price on
their potatoes and even then could not
dispose of them unless the Boston and
Maine railroad reduced its already low
rate. which it did. BY means of these
low rates. making possible low prices.
the potato crops of both Michigan and
Maine were finally marketed. Every
body eats potatoes, and that year ev-
eTybody had all the potatoes he
wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement of all potatoes at all
times. to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine railroad suffered a
decrease in its revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making of
rates We're subject to governmental ad-
iustment such radical and prompt ac.
ton could never have been taken. be-
cause it is well established that If a
rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of. governmental proceed
ure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
ration they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental Limitation and let
the potatoes rot.-Exchange. Adv.
