POLICY
Will Continue the General Plans of
Mr.. Cassatt.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. !. -Jamas
McCreaI of Pittsburg, first vice presi-
dent o9the Pennsylvania lines west of
Pittsbhrg. was elected president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company by the
directors OF that corporation to succeed
the late A. j. Cassatt.
After the meeting of the board of di-
rectors President McCrea issued the
following statement:
The policy of the Pennsylvania
railroad does not depend upon any one
a 1t continues unchanged from
year to year. 1t will be my purpose to
promote as best l can the same pro-
gressive development which was con-
Quoted SO ably under President Cassatt
and the presidents who preceded him."
OF all the officials about the Pennsyl-
vania depot in Pittsburg there is none
so popular as James McCrea, not alone
with, the business men and officials,
but with the workmen. Along the line
they call him Little Father" little be-
cause of his great size-he is over six
feet tall-father because of his care of
the workmen. 1t is to McCrea that the
workmen tell their troubles and grley-
ances. And IL they have a real griev-
ance he c%orrects ii. The men know
that and depend on him.
When McCrea in 1882 was made gen
eral manager and fourth vice president
of the Pennsylvania lines he found a
white elephant OF his hands in the
shape of the Panhandle railroad. 1t
had always been the one line that
wouldn't pay dividends and was a joke
among the railroad men. McCrea gave
it much of his attention. Today the
Panhandle is one of the finest railroads
in the United States and pays big divi-
dends.

A FAMOUS

Ida M. Tarbell. in her January in
stallment of The Tariff in Our
Times, how running in the Amer
lean Magazine-describes the OUT
break of protectionism that followed
the Civil War. One of the big am
paigns made was that in the interest
of the wool bill of 1867. OF this fight
and of its central figure, Miss Tarbell
writes:
THE chief organization was n Of
manufacturers, having at it's head as
able a lobbyist and promoter as the
country had ever produced-this was
John l.. Hayes-a New Englander-a
graduate of Dartmouth and Of the
Harvard Law School, a man of wide
and varied experience. He had been
counsel for Canada when the recip-
rocity treaty of 1854 was framed. He
bad founded iron works in Maine and
promoted a railroad In Mexico. He
had been in politics. He had held Of
flee in Washington. He was a natur-
al scientist of no NEAR order-a man
versatile, knowing, engaging and en-
ergetic. Mr.. Hayes took charge of
the interests of the wool manufac-
lures of 1865 and he carried on a
splendid campaign for higher tariffs.
That the senate did not like the
wool bill was evident. On all sides
there was strenuous opposition to
protecting one industry and not an
other, and yet the bill went through.
and a few hours before the end of the
session was received by the house and
passed.
But its fate was by no means de-
cided, for 1t still must have the pres
dents signature, and the president
was Andrew Johnson. Johnson was in
temper to favor any measure
sanctioned by 'Thad Stevens and his
gang. He had just vetoed one OF
Stevens pet measures, and 1t was
very likely he would veto any bill
favoring a special interest, for his
traditions and sympathies were all
with a liberal commercial policy. Mr..
Hayes knew this and he and HIS
friends collected outside the door OF
the capital chamber where, as the
custom is, the president signs bills on
the last night of a session. Late Id
the evening it was rumored that the
bill would be vetoed. Hayes hurried
summoned aid-Bingham of Ohio.
the Trainer of the bill, the secretary
of the Treasury, and the attorney gem
oral. What pressure this force
brought to bear on Mr.. johnson is
unknown, but at a minute before
twelve, according to Mr.. Hayes story,
the president put his name to the
wool bill. 1t was a great triumph for
Mr.. Hayes. The wool bill of 1867,
and its enactment into law says one
OF the protectionist organs, were
chiefly due to his personal influence
with leading members of both bran
ches of congress-

with which he will do battle for the
next few months and was cordially re-
ceived. Speaker Wadsworth, assured
of reelection, was also cordially well
coined. There were no long set
speeches, the presiding officers in both
houses having declared beforehand
that what they would say would be
brief. There were in profusion the
usual floral tributes from admiring
constituents to popular senators and
assemblymen.
Chief Clerk kfdnIel Baxter CHILLED the
assembly to order.
Organization was effected by the
. election of the following officers:
Senate-Presiden pro tempore, Sem
ator John Raines of Ontario: clerk, La
fayette B. Gleason Of Delaware; ste
nographer, John G. Marriott of Rich
mond; sergeant at arms, Charles II.

Acknowledgements, James W. Wads-
worth. Jr., of Livingston: clerk, Colo
mel Archie Il. Baxter of Chemung; ste
nographer. Henry Lammert of New
York; sergeant at arms, Frank John
ston of Erie.
All of these in both houses are re-
4 elections.
The following are the most impor-
tant recommendations in the govern
or's message:
Immediate provision for recount of
mayoralty vote and provision for re-
count of ballots in future.
Provision taking away from attorney
general power to authorize bringing of
action to test title to office and vesting
it in supreme court.
Abolition OF rapid transit commission
and creation of new board TO have
powers of old board and additional
powers over all traffic 'between points
within the city and points elsewhere in
the state" New board also to have
jurisdiction owe gas and electricity
corporations within New York city and
perhaps in surrounding counties.
Abolition of railroad commission and
creation of new board with powers of
each of the old boards and additional
powers to have jurisdiction in the rest
of the state. New board to have pow
er to infict penalties for disobedience
of its orders.
Provisions in election law to free the
split ballot section from ambiguity and
to do away with the party column.
punching the candidates under the
names of the offices.
Provision limiting the amount Il can
didate may spend to secure Office.
Law to authorize courts to review
action of state conventions to prevent
minority gaining control by fraudulent
methods.
Trial of direct nomination by pri-
mary by authorizing general commit
tee of any party to adopt fine plan.
That the state labor department be
overhauled and an eight hour. law.
passed for children less than sixteen
years old.
The part of Governor Hughes mes
sage most discussed is that recon-
mendingtthe sbolition of the state rail-
road commission, state commission of
gas and electricity and the New York
city rapid transit commission and the
creation instead Of a state commission
for the regulation of public service
corporations generally and a city com
mission to control transit corporations

inevitable political consequences of
such radical a change drew most att
tention. N
