The Two Cent Rate.

The Chnrchman 2 cent rate bill,
which passed the Virginia Legislature.
and was signed by the Governor, is
scheduled TO go in effect June 18Th.
but there is a strong likelihood that
the measure will not be effective then.
ATTORNEYS for the railroads claim that
it is unconstitutional and will fight it
to the end. The Corporation Com.
mission will hear the arguments of the
attorneys. If the commission sustains
the legislature in reducing the rate,
then the matter will be taken to the
Supreme Court. Important business
men g associations of the State have
been working hard to have the Church.
man bill become law in reality The
proposed decrease in the railroad rates;
while law. is yet far away. There
is no telling just when it will become
effective. The Churchman bill SAYS
that the railroads shall issue 500 mile
books for $40. or rate of 2 cents per
mile for all 500 mile books.

THE RATE BILL PASSED.

The railroad rate bill passed the Sen
ate by vote of II to 8 on Friday last.
The vote taken when it was and under
the circumstances surrounding it,
showed singular condition of affairs.
There had been vast amount of III
feeling stirred up 10y it. AldIich and
his supporters had sought by every
means known TO them to put the Pres.
ident and the opposition in hole.
They had succeeded because they had
caused the President 10 break with the
Democrats, and ia OIL der 10 give reason
for bis so doing he had sought to dis
credit Senators TilIman, Bailey and
ex-senator Chandler, and in so doing
had been gIy Oh the lie direct. SO hot
had this controversy become that all
OF the President y supporters had taken
to the woods, and when the vote Was
taken there were more to say word IN
his behalf or vindicate his course as to
TiIlman, Bailey and Chandler.
Now that the smoke of battle has in
some degree cleared and the final pas
sage of the bill by both houses and its
signing by the President are in sight,
we may look over the field and see
what the country has gained. if any
thing, by this fight. We believe thel
has been great and material gain.
The court review clause may to some
extent hamper the Interstate Com
merce Commission in it's effort to es
tablish reasonable and proper rates,
but the rebater has had his day 1t
will no longer be possible for such cor.
pOrations as the Standard Oil and the
Armour Beef Trust to destroy its COM
petitors by obtaining special rates.
and thus control the markets.
Again. There is to be an end OF
railroads being engaged In private
business such as coal mining. The
end of this has already begun. and
whilst there may be indirect ways OF
doing the same thing. those indirect
ways are not like the direct, open and
notorious ways that have been resort.
cd to. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission under existing laws has devel
oped rotten state In the Pennsylvania,
the holy of the HOLES, in the railroad
world. and the one altogether lovely.
To say that the neouIe are not beut on
breaking up such conditions as exist
there, and to say that the present rate
bill will not assist in their ability to
do so, Is foolish. The bill of course is
not y law yet. but the signs of the
times are that it will soon be, and
whilst all that its most ardent advo-
Gates wished is not in the bill, still 1t is
long step forward. Reforms must
not be too sudden. They come by slow
but steady stages, and when they come
thus, they last. 1t was a mistake to
have done as much as was done by the
Wilson tariff bill. Had the Democrats
been content with less they would
have gotten more. With the rate bill
law, as we may soon hope it will be.
and movement against the tariff
robber, who has looted the people far
beyond anything the railroads have
ever done-we may look for bright
and glorious future.

The RECENT PRIMARY.

There was Democratic primary-so
called-in Stauuton on the 18th Some
new Democrats appeared upon the
scene. Some gentlemen presented
themselves before the altar, with. we
hope, humble and conteite hearts, who
had not voted Democratic ticket, in
moons There were spriuklipg OF
Mckinleyites, of Palmer and Buck
nerites, TO say nothing OF various and
sundry other ties, isms ant: ists. differ
ing and varying from Democracy MS
one star differrth from another
Democratic primary is a myth, if this
be sample. 1t is not any more nor
less than q general conglOmeration Ct

like to exerci-e Il little brief authority.
After all We find that the ancient mar
liners were largely in evidence. Those
who steeled the ship In days gone by
are again 10 be largely placed at the
helm, and with few notable changes
will probably head her PROV toward
the same haven of bonded indebtedness
, as of yore. and leave us with as few
drops of water to cool our parched ton
CUES. There were few changes from
the old regime, a few new faces appear
in the present list, but those interest
which so need the guardian care and
fostering influence of the city. some
of which have about as much right to
1t, as a cracksman has to key to a
bank vault, will be we'll taken care of
as they have been in the past. The
large corporations will be we'll repre-
scented In these bodies They need it.
They are SO careful to look after their
own interests when elections take
place no matter by what name the said
organizations are called. One grows
tired, if not indeed feeble. when he
, sees the same Influences brought to
bear to elect Democratic (?l aldermen
and councilmen that were used to de.
feaG the nominees OF the National
Democratic party, as well as the sam g
men at work. The only very powerful
Influence which seems not to have
been exerted that day effectively was
the prohibition influence. 1t is true
that gentlemen representing that sen.
timent, gentlemen after the Garry
Nation mould and of her variety, were
IN evidence, but they failed to connect
with either branch of the city govern
ment, hence will possibly try again on
a ticket purely their own. We were
surprised to find them ia such com
pany. Possibly they were themselves
disguised and will never appear there
again. Twas day full Of surprises.
The President has appointed ex Gov.
Montague delegate to the Pan Amer.
lean Congress which meets at Rio de
Janeiro this summer. THIS il very
important meeting. and the appoint
/ ment will reflect credit upon Virginia
especially and the United States gen.
, orally. We have not seen it anywhere
stated that this appointment was
brought about by the Efforts of Sena-
tor Martin. 1t is not, however, toe
late yet for this pleasing intelligence
to receive currency. Ii not forth
coming. it will make the first instance
in which that master hand has not
been the first stretched out to per
form the miracle.

vertising done it would let 1t know and
would pay for the same on terms to be
agreed upon. We find that in this as
in many other things the Pennsylvania
has not measured up to the standard
of absolute truth. Recently that road
has received vast quantity of adver-
Using which it has not paid for in

FORMED ASSOCIATION.

Large Attendance of "Adirondack's''
 Friends.
 In the Grand Union hotel at New York Saturday a preliminary organiz- alton was effected of the Adirondack Murray Memorial association by friends and admirers of the Rev. Will liam H. H. Murray, clergyman and author, who, through his writings, be- came known as Adirondack Murray" He died in 1904
 It is intended to preserve the home- stead at Guilford, where MT. Murray was born, erect suitable monument over his grave, and assist in the edu- cation of his daughters.
 Edward Griswold of GuiIford, classmate of Mir. Murray's in the Guil- ford academy, and { veteran member of the Connecticut general assembly, presided, and M. K. Westoyer, of Sche- nectady, was secretary of the meeting. A large number of MT. Murray's friends was represented, either person. ally or by letter, at the meeting, and the success of the movement is as- sured.
