QUEEN WILHELMINA
AND HER EGOTISM

The American impression of a poor
little Wilhemina covering beneath the
brutalities of the man she asked to
marry her is extremely curious to
those residents of The Hague who I'M
derstand the sort of disposition for
which the house of Orange is c9le-
brated.. For Wilhelmina is true
daughter of the house of Orange The
Queens mother. the most Obedient OF
parents, has proclaimed this more
than once.
She is never forgetful of her own
immense Importance to Holland.
When, five years ago, the Queen lay
on that sick bed from which it seem
ed certain she could never rise, her
Majesty's physician in ordinary, feel
ing the patients pulse, declared that
the crisis was over. God" murmured
the Queen in a faint whisper, is .ery
merciful to my people The story
may be invented, but it is said in
German dailies to fit her Maiesty's
character like a glove
a nature of this kind is not the
material out of which the must sub
miSsive of SpOuses can be fashioned
whether, as some French dailieS say.
Wilhelmina, in virtue of her sovereign
rank, had to make the proposal Of
to Prince Henry. or whether,
as some German dailieS tell rs, her
Majesty merely sent his HiSEress
word that she was going to marry
him. he was speedily involved in the
same difficulties of prerogatiye which
tend at time to strain the Queens
relations with the responsible rulers
Of her kingdom. Wilhelmina has eX-
allied notions of her royal authority.
She is said to interfere in "A most ner-
sOnal way with the conduct Of Dutch
foreign relations. She looks upon the
Dutch colonies as, in some sort. the
private appanages of the house of
Orange. Her prodigious personal pop
ularity with every class of her sub
jects saves her from some of the con-
sequences of her unconstitutional ten
dencies.-From Current Literature for

MERITS Of 4

Bill Enacted by the N.
Y. Assembly.
DECLARES 1T WAS THE RESULT
OF PUBLIC ANTIPATHY TO THE
THE RAILROADS, AND WRONG
IN PRINCIPLE AND BAD IN ITS
PROBABLE REACTION.

In his message vetOing the 2-ccnt
passenger rate bill recently Governor
Hughes of New York said it was "A
policy seriously mistaken and Dreg-
nant with disaster. The whole mes
sage was as an almost unconscious
explanation of his own position on eco
nOmic questions, which suggests a
reputation Of the recent charges OF
Chancellor Day OF Syracuse.
injustice on the part OF corpora
tons This is the keynote OF the
message.
Beginning with the statement: The
passage Of the bill was not preceded
by Legislative investigation or suit
able inquiry under the authority of
the state the governor continues:
Nor is the fixing of the rate pred
icated on reports or statistics official
ly cOllated which would permit fair
conclusion as to the justice of the
operation with reference to the rail
roads within its purview 1t plainly
reflects dissatisfaction with the exist
ing conditions, and an effort to pro-
vide remedy through arbitrary &C
ton"

TWO WRONGS DO
NOT MAKE RIGHT.

The governor then makes the COM
ment cited above, as to the disaster
likely to follow such a policy. He
continues:
1t Is of the utmost Importance that
the management OF our railroad cor
poratiOns should be subject to strict
supervision by the state. and that reg
ulationS compelling the observance OF
the law and proper and adequate ser
vice should be Tigidly enforced 1t is
the duty of the corporations to pro-
vide transportation of passengers and
goods at reasonable rates, and the
state should compel the performance
OF this obligation. -
But injustice on the part of rail-
road corporations toward the public
does not Justify injustice on the part
of the state toward the railroad cor
poratons- The action OF government
should be fair and impartial, and upon
this every citizen, whatever, his in
terests, is entitled to insist. We shall
make matters not better, but worse.
II, to cure one wrong, We establish an
other. The fact that those in con-
troll of railroad corporations have
been guilty of grossly improper ffnan-
ciering and of illegal and injurious
determinations in charges points

state action, but does not require or
warrant arbitrary reprisals In dealing
with these questions. democracy must
demonstrate its capacity to act upon
deliberatiOn and to deal justly.
1t is of the greatest Importance,
not only that railroad corporations
should be compelled to respect their
public obligations. but also that thew
should be permitted to operate I'M
der conditions which will give a fair
return for their service Upon this
depends not simply the Security of in
vestOrs, but the security of their en-
plOyees and the protection of every
form of industry and commerce
through the maintenance and extern
ton of necessary transportation ia
cilities- Nothing could be more Op-
posed TO the interests of the cOmmun-
ity as whole than TO cripple trans
portation corporations by arbitrary
reduction of earnings.

BILL MIGHT
REACT ON PUBLIC.

If this bill were to become a law
II would most probably lead in many
cases, on account of pretended or real
necessity. to economies in service and
to readjuStment OF rates, now lower,
To the annoyance and injury of con-
siderable numbers OF the travelling
public, for which the gain to others
would not necessarily compensate.
Again, the validity of such a statute
would almost certainly be contested
in prOtraCted litigation. the result of
which, to say the least, would be in
doubt. At a critical time. when the
interests of all demand that reason
and judgment should control in deal
ing with such matters, we should
have abandoned our true line of &C
ton and facilitated still wider de-
partureS"

There is q better way. Il has al
ready been pointed out in the Iegisia-
ton OF this state. II is practically i'm
possible in view of the nature of the
problems and the many questions re-
! curing consideration. for the legiSla-
ture TO deal directly with railroad
rates in satisfactory manner. Where
a matter requires investigation in or
der that just result may be reached,
the obvious course is 10 create 4 body
which can investigate. with expert as
sistance, as summarily as possible,
and which shall have adequate power

/ body has been created in this state

and for the fixing of such rates as

a passenger rate of two cents mile
is just and reasonable, ii can be fixed
/ II It Is not just and reasonable. il

1t viii be said that this requires
an investigation. But it Will not re
quire any longer time or any more
protracted investigation than is neces-

THE INVOLVING OF
COMMUTATION RATES.

1t may be said that twO-cent pas
Senger rate is not so extreme as 10
have very injurious result But this
Is debatable question. Large and
prosperous suburban communities
have been built up through the offer of
communication rates much less than
the proposed maximum. Upon the
maintenance of these rates MANY
thousands Of our citizens rely. Con
siderable differences exist between
the railroad corporations with respect
to the territory they serve and the
cost of service. and il is manifest
that what would be fair for one might
be far from fair for another. An ar
bitrary dislOcation of tariffs by the
fiat of the legislature, without inyps-
ti@atiOn. is matter of serious CON
Germ The best that could be said for
such legislation would be that il
should be regarded as an isolated
case, and not as Il precedent. For. if
Hat freight rates. either for all com
mOdities or for different kinds of com
mOditieS, were similarly to be fixed h.
the legislature. without investigation
or proper asceTtainmeut of their ms
tiCe, our railroad business and our in
dustrial and commercial interests
would be thrown into confusion"
WHOLE POLICY is

as saying that a maximum tWO-cenr
passenger rate would be unreasonable
low. II might be high enough in manv
cases. Possibly it would be high
enough in all cases. I fully appreciate

Mobile, Ala. Feb. 26.--tSpeclal)- United States District Attorney W. H Armbrecht has received advice from Boston that Cole and McElroy, the principals there In the Honduras Lot tery case, have been bound over to await the action of the United States grand jury.
 Mr. Armbrecht says he has not de- termfned whether he will have the de- xsndants in the lottery case tried in the city where they are examined, or bring them to Mobile for trial before the special grand jury to sit in April. 1t is already a settled fact, that the New Orleans men will be tried here.
 The Mobile witnesses, who testified in the preliminary hearing at Boston. are expected back in the city in the next few days
 A singular feature of this case that has developed. Is the different amounts of bond under which the defendants are held to await grand jury actions in different cities.

The First Railway Wreck.

New York World
 On July 24, 1S46. occurred the first railway accident Of note in the United States. It happened on the Erie road, then less than five years old. A car went through Seamans bridge, near Monroe. Pa. Three persons were killed outright. three died later of their in- juries.
 This casualty aroused great interest at home and abroad. No columns of matter from the railway officials were printed explaining that the accident was unexplainahle There was no Board of Railroad Commissioners to certify that everything 1t could find in the roads equipment was all right.
 In suits for damages 1t was estab- lished that the wreck was caused by the collapse of a cast iron spoked wheel. The railroad paid the iudg- ments And straightaway the wheel with spokes gave way to the solid pat tern d later on all the roads in the country
 But that was sixty years ago.
