THE RA11RoAD GBAFTERs.

More astonishing revelations yester-
day concerning the performances OF Dig
and little men in the Pennsylvania
railroad. And it is now announced
that President Cassatt is coming home.
We should think he would. He is at
the head of a great and wonderful
railroad. All the indications are that
it is going to be much greater and
much more wonderful. Perhaps it does
MT need the confidence Of the people
in order to continue to do business, but
of course its managers want the con-
fidence of the people, and we have no
doubt they mean to have it. So when
the president gets home, if not before,
there will probably be an investigation
that will investigate, and the Pennsyl-
vania will be clear of men and things
which it's admirers supposed 1t was
selear of.
The talk now Is that in other great
railroads a similar condition Of affairs
to that which has existed in the Penn
sylvania will be shown. Let it be shown
if it is there. 1t is high time. The pes
simists are saying that this great and
glorious country has gone to the devil,
or is so far on its way to him that 1t
can't get back. We don't believe it..
1t is already coming back, and coming
back fast. And we are again about to
learn that honesty is the best policy,
even if it doesn't always pay as wen In
money as the other policy does.

abolishing the House of Lords. The
fight is being led by Kier Hardie, one
of the labor leaders and a member of
the House OF Commons. and the battle
cry is based on the defeat of meas
ure which labor favored. Mr.. Hardie
introduced a bill in the House of Com
mons providing that during labor dis
putes in England no foreigners be al
lowed to enter the country, if willing to
take the places of strikers. The bill
passed the commons by substantial
majority, with Premier Campbell Ban
herman refusing to allow it to be made
a government question and taking no
part whatever in the debate The bill
was rejected by the House of Lords and
the labor leaders were not slow, on the
floor of the House Of Commons, in the
announcement that the House of Lords
must be abolished and that the govern
ment must take an active part in the
abolition, or lose the support of the la
Dor members and of the labor party,
If the labor leaders and the afiilia-
tons with labor can not force the Pre-
mier to take up the question or to
appeal to the country on it they an
nounce their determination to contest
every 'by-election" on the question of
abolition of the House Of Lords, not
because Of opposition 10 a second legis-
lative chamber, but because Of the re-
lection of the bill for the protection of
strikers. 1t will be interesting to
watch the performance. 1t has some
times seemed that the House of Lords
was neither very popular nor very use
full, but it is a deeply rooted institu-
ton and will perhaps be able to with
stand this attack on it.
