A Query.

A correspondent o. tho New York
Sun, who is about to become a son-in-
law, wishes to know what lie should
call his prospective fatherir-law and
mother-in-law and other in-laws
my wife will be all in all to me-"
says he land for her parents l have
tho most profound respect and admlra-
ton and affection; but still / have
but one father and mother. and don't
want to call anybody else by those
titles.
"Of course I want to do whatever
is right and proper; but what am I
going to do shout Ii? This worries
mo lust little"
Dear heart! 1t Is a pathetic case
and pathetic plea, and yet the Sun
gives the query no answer. There are
other men In the same quandary.
They want to do whatever is right
and proper and yet there are einbar-
easements. 1t MY be tint the SON.
IN law Is as old as the mother-in-la
We have heard OF such cases; and
what shall he do?
Now that the grape fruit panic has
subsidized, perhaps some OF our con-
temporarics will give ear tc the cues
ton from New York. What shall a
married man call his in-laws?"

they are certainly very intelligent.
We do not for an instant believe that
there Is any idea of embarrassing or
hanperlng railroads IN their proper
functions, but there is a very great
determination to prevent recurrence
OF wrongs which are known to have
existed for many years, but which now
are happily being rapidly eliminated.
In their determination to reach
wrongs, State legislatures md railroad
commissions have not distinguished
between the innocent and the guilty.
hey have reversed the Anglo saxon
principle of justice, and have pre-
sumed that all railroads were guilty.
Yet, there have been and are railroad
managers who have as conscientiously
discharged their duties, both as COM
mon carriers and as trustees for In
vested funds, as any class OF men IN
the nation.
These men will not complain when
financial pirates are brought to bay,
but they Justly complain when a
universal condemnation is passed upon
them and the maxim Is practiced
that railroad has no right which the
public-be 1t shippers or travelers--is
bound to respect.
