RAILROADS MUST BE GOOD.

While there is always a certain
sense of satisfaction in seeing a
proud, imperious and tyrannical des-
pot dragged from his throne and COM
PEELED for a time to grovel in the dust
ON q level with the subjects over
whom he has ruled with an iron hand
and without mercy for years-the mat
ter of hilarity and e%xultation over his
fall and efforts to drag him still lower
may be carried too far.
The railroads of this country today
are measurably in the position OF the
dethroned .tyr ant, says the Drovers
Journal. For years they ruled the
aft airs of commerce and largely the
state, evading laws and crushing by
the mere power of money and influ'
ence at their command any legislation
tina might not be wholly to their ad.
vantage.
But continued prosperity of the PEG.
Pile has proved their undoing. The
country has become so prosperous
and money in country banks OF the
west SO plentiful that the power of
money exerted from the centers where
railroad at airs we're controlled has
been curbed.
There fare indications that we are
approaching that long.hoped.for time
when the government is to rule the
railroads rather than the railroads
rule thelgovernment.
This does not mean that immediate
government ownership OF railroads is
necessary. 1t merely means that good
and sufficient laws for the regulation
of monopoltstic railroad affairs be
passed, and that when once passed
and in force they be rigidly executed
by the authorities.
Such laws have beenlpassed and the
indications are that for the time being
at least the authorities are inclined to
execute them justly. Without desire
to see properties of the formerly AFRO.
CANT railroad magnates subjected to
seriouslinjury by too severe or unjust
state laws, there must be a measure of
satisfaction to the long-waiting public
In seeing these same tyrants in COM
mercial affairs, who have SO long
sneered at and snapped their fingers
in the face of law and justice, coming
down off their high perches and on
their knees begginglfor mercy.

Butte Fears Water Famine.

BUTTE, March l6.-The members of
the workingmen's union connected
with the Butte Street Railway struck
this morning, the management refus'
ing q demand for an increase of wages
from % to $3.50 per day.
Manager Wharton, of the street car
company, says that, barring. acci'
dents, the system may continue three
days, but no longer. If no agreement
is reached before Tuesday morning
the entire street car system Of Butte,
w alkerville, Centerville and East
Butte will suspend indefinitely, throw.
ing five hundred men out of work.
The motormen and conductors have
n union, but have not yet struck in
sympathy, but the workingmen con.
troll the barns, aud without them the
cars cannot run.
Without gas, and with the water
supply depending upon chance, Butte
coufrOnts q most annoying period.
The gas men are still out. The work
ingmen in the employ of the water
company are out, and as soon rs the
main bursts, the system must suspend.
1t is rumored that Mayor MacGinnis
has ordered Chief Sanger, Of the fire
department., to repair broken mains,
regardless Of the attitude of the union,
since q suspension Of the water works
would leave the city at the mercy OF
the fire.

BURTON STRONG
CANDIDATE

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 12.-In ac-
the republican ticket, Congressman
Burton and Tom L. Johnson will be-
come rivals for the fourth time at the
polls, and the republicans augur well
for next November from the fact that
in two out of three of the contests al
ready decided Mr.. Burton has been
the victor.
Twice Defeated His Opponent,
He was elected to the Fifty first
congress over Mr.. Johnson by a ma
jority of Gil, but was defeated for re-
election by majority of 1890. He did
not run for the Fifty third congress,
but returned to the Fifty fourth by
the emphatic majority of 4,708 over
Mr.. johnson. He has remained in
Washington as the representative of
the Twenty first Ohio district ever
since, gaining national prominence as
the chairman of the house rivers and
harbors committee. Such has been
his growing popularity in Cleveland
lions the democrats upon the advice
of Mayor johnson himself, have refus-
ed to name a candidate against him.
Democrats Fear Him.
The fear the democrats have for Mr..
Burton is shown best by the attitude
of the city hall officials since the
movement for his nomination gained
formative shape week ago. They
declared for publication that he was
needed in congress, and his friends
should not allow him to imperil his
political future in a contest purely
municipal* They even held out to him
the prospect of becoming United
States senator by a coalition of the
anti Foraker and anti-Dick repub-
cans Some prominent democrats who
know him well, it is said, even went
to him personally with these argu-
ments but it has proved of no avail.
