WHY COMPROMISE WAS MADE

It is said in Washington that the
Allison compromise was made because
1t would unite the Republican senators
in support Of the bill, get the oppo-
sition Of the Democrats, and give to
the Republicans the credit of the en-
aetment. It is even said that the pres
ident shares this view The Allison
compromise merely puts into the bill
in words what was unquestionably
there in fact a right to appeal from
the orders Of the commission. But 1t
leaves the orders open to preliminary
injunction suspending them until final
judgment. and is, to that extent, VIC
tory for the railroads. AS to the par
tisan triumph we doubt its value 1t
is far more apt to prove a boomer
ang, rebounding upon the party. For
nothing is more certain, the railroads
pursuing their usual tactics of con-
testing these restrictive laws, than
that the law will prove disappointing,
with responsibility for its inehicacy
assumed by the Republicans. The &C
ton of the house was more sagac1ous.
