PEOPLE VERSUS RAILROAD COMPANIES.
Plan Should Be Devised and Put in Opera.
tiOn to Bring Them in Harmony.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The methods that have been conceived and
adopted within fc~ty-hve years by those who have
used them in connection with a code OF morals
that had made them the possessors Of enormous
fortunes have incensed the small investors in rail-
road stocks and bonds. who have lost all
part Of the holdings for which they had honestly
paid IN aid Of the construction and equipment Of
the roads based upon a faith that the roads would
eventually pay reasonable dividends by the de-
velopment of the country through which they
were built The other dispeased parties the
people who obliged TO travel and send freight
over these roads who fervently complain
count Of the rates charged by the companies.
which the people believe to be excessive, they
are made for the purpose OF paying interest on
bonds and dividends on stock that have been given
10 those who have accumulated many millions
gratutously by crooked channels and crafty ways
in managing the roads and in issuing from time
TO time favorable unfavorable reports OF their
earnings and the cost OF operating the roads
There is a strong belief existing that II. the
actual cash OF building and equ.ppng the
railroads together with the cash cost Of every
item pertaining TO their use. there should be paid
on average Of at least u per cent annually. suoh
a consideration to the owners OF securities OF the
railroad companies would be readily approved and
travelling and sending freight over them.
Railroads have been the great pioneers that have
led the United States 10 its unparalleled success
and that contribute IN every respect 20 the per-
plan for the guidance Of railroad companies should
BE pnt in operation and made binding upon them
factory TO the people and 20 the companies. and
then Let toe s wS5k not 81 ria i5en &
In railroads have faith in their ability pay
The quick and correct comprehension Of Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt is sufficient settle this
railroad imbrogno and 10 recommend remedy
that will bring perfect harmony between the peo-
pie and the railroad companies ,,-,. ,-,-~>>,

Memorial Sermon.

Rev. Price preached an excellent
memorial sermon to the old soldiers
OF Welsh at the Presbyterian church
Sunday morning. There were but
seven veterans of the Civil War pres
ent, and though they marched up the
aisle to the seats reserved for them
with the tread of soldiers, yet the
SHOWS of many winters have whitened
their locks, and it is only too evident
that the last of the millions who
served with Grant and Lee will soon
answer to the last roll call and be
summoned before the Great Com
mander.
There are some who maintain that
memorial services should cease; God
forbid that the day will ever come
when the great American nation will
so far forget to honor the gallant men
who laid their lives on their country's
altar in her hour of direst need. It
matters not whether they wore the
blue or the gray, the men who bore
the brunt of the battle, who faced the
roaring cannon belching forth the
fires of hell, or endured the leaden
hail of the enemy's rifles, were heroes
and as such are worthy of the honors
bestowed upon them by the observance
of appropriate memorial services: and
in the fullness of time when the last
hero who wore the blue or the gray
shall have pitched his tent upon the
universal camping ground, let a
grateful posterity strew flowers over
the graves of the brave heroes who
have added one of the brightest pages
to the worlds history that has ever
been written.
