Four lengthy sessions of the City

JUST CORPORATION REGULATION
Virginid'S Senator Believed to Be in a
Receptive Mood So Far as the
Presidential Nomination
is Concerned.

Washington, d. c., May Ex-senator
Daniel has been induced to set forth a
sort of platform in an interview pub
lished here. He explicitly denies that
he is seeking the nomination, but his
talk is that of man who is in recep-
tive mood. A few months ago it would
not have been possible to get South
ern man of his prominence to take the
thing seriously enough to go so tar.
He says, in part:
SIN the wholesome condition of
public feeling that has come to pass, I
think the ticket should be composed of
men according to their merit and avail
ability without regard to the section
from which they come. There are no
sections of this country at present with
respect to the great economic questions
we have to deal with.
81 think the National Democratic
platform should enunciate broad, gener-
al Democratic principals, and be con-
fined to those things upon which the
Democrats are generally agreed. Such
platform would, of course, include
fair and just regulation of the corpor-
ations engaged in Interstate commerce.
1t would not entertain any proposition
for the United States to own the roads
or the vehicles engaged in transpor-
tation.
what the far distant future may
bring, no man can say, but such a
proposition is the reversal OfdemOcracy
and the despair of the Republic. More
over, it diverts the mind from the pro-
gressive regulation of those things
which are within the constitutional
powers of Congress, and which meet
with appreciation of prudent men,
''With respect to the tariff,
iudiciOus revision, not a wrecking nor
doctrinare revision, would best meet

and the conditions which are to be

tween the roads and the people.
Such an official should be of broad
mind and one whom the public, gener-
ally, has confidence in. He could warn
the railroads when they were ex ceeding
their rights and in addition could,
when the occasion demanded it, eau
ton the public as to when they were
pushing the roads too hard
Discussing the proposed reduction in
railroad rates Mr.. Garrett said: What
the south and the entire country needs
at this time is service. If this be true,
then, how is the the service to be main
tanned or even improved. Certainly
not by cutting down the revenues of
the roads. If this is done | cannot see
how even the present service can be

''The great and increasing demands
of the public upon the railroads is the
main reason why I advance this sug-

power over matters of transportation;
should see that the roads give as good

that they should also have the power of
