REAL RAILWAY COMPETITION.

It has been so long since the coun-
try has had any real railway compe-
tition that an instance in point reads
like a romance Of the early days. But
II reports are true Mr.. winchell. pres
ident of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific railway. has recently given the
government the real benefit of active
competition in the letting Of mail
contract.
Winchell's road coveted the contract
for carrying the mails between Chi
cago and Omaha, held for the past 20
years by the Burlington. The Rock
Island cut the time to less than that
of the Burlington and offered to ham
die the business to the governments
advantage by eliminating the transfer
by wagon or tunnel from one station
TO another in Chicago, the latter work
having been figured at $4,000 year
for the 100 tons handled daily.
The Burlington cut this bid to meet
that Of the Rock Island and agreed
to meet any other offer made by the
Rock Island, so the contract for the
next four years went to the Burling-
ton.
Mr.. winchelrs fight seems to have
done more for the government than
for his railroad. and the strife looks
on the face OF It. likt case Of genuine
competition between two roads. If
such competition is possible on mail
contracts. why is 1t not possible in
freight and passenger business, under
strict government control which shall
make competition necessary and pool
ing OF interests impossible?
II such an end could be brought
about there is little question that 1t
would be better than the interference
of states in these Interstate arrairs,
unless strictly along the lines fixed by
the government in the execution of its
policies.

Congress has under consideration a
Joint resolution which. if adopted, will
revolutionize the existing policy with
regard to internal improvements. 1t
calls for adequate recognition of the
country's waterways. and provides
that appropriations for their develop.
ment be made equal to those for the
army and navy. The resolution was
introduced by congressman Acheson
and is now under consideration by the
house committee on rivers and har-
bors. In his resolution Mr.. Acheson
brings forward the fact that such APP
preparations should not be considered
in the light of money expended and
practically lost, as is the case with the
navy, in which equipment that is mod
ern today may be obsolete tomorrow.
He calls attention to the fact that
money voted for waterways improve
ments is government funds invested,
and as investments these improve
ments make hig returns in the in
creased flow of commerce.

OUR EXCHANGE TABLE.
Items of General Interest Cleaned
From State Papers.

Weldon News.-A new company has
been organized here to build a $75 600
spinning mill. The stock has nearly
all been taken and there is now no
doubt about the mill being built. This
mill will be equipped with the latest
improved .chinery for spinning the
finer numbers of yarns.
Newborn Sun.-William Crispin, q
colored transfer driver was exhibiting
on the streets, yesterday, a sprig Of a
plum tree, from his yard, three feet
long, that contained 96 plums on it,
each of the plums nearly as large as
peaches. The stem Of the twig was
completely hidden by the plums.
K%enansville News.-"Bill Dutch,
one of the old-time landmarks of Ken
ansviIle, and a Democratic darkey all
of his days, came in the other day from
Kinston to look Upon the old scenes.
Upon being asked about Judge o. H.
Aliens health, who now resides in
Kinston, Dutch replied, "He's look
ing well, but both of us couldn't leave
at the same time".
Greensboro Record.-The reason why
there is at present so much popular
feeling against corporations in general
is that the men who manage those in
situations make use Of public fran
chises, which are really nothing but Ii
censes to serve the people, as means
and instruments of oppression, extor-
ton, and corruption, and convert their
license to serve into a power to taxa
power which none but the government
should possess or exercise.
Charlotte News.-Probably the best
indication of the general prosperity
that is being enjoyed in the different
counties of the State is the report Of
the tax assessing boards of the several
counties. We believe, without excep-
ton every county that has so far re-
ported has shown a most unusual and
unprecedented increase in wealth. AS
the lamented Sam Jones was wont to
sya, We're comm some".
