Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia, the
other day made an interesting address
on Ira nsportation in Cincinnati
cleft without restraint" he said, "the
railroad companies can fix the value
of lands. They can determine the
profits of merchants. They can con
troll the business of the manufacturer.
They can make and unmake towns
and cities. The condition of Deepen
dence by the public upon them in
creases from day to day.
"a few years ago the transportation
companies were controlled by many
and varied interests. Now they are
largely consolidated, and several in
terests control nearly three-fourths of
the entire railroad mileage of the
United States. ''These interests may
be designated as Syndicates under the
names of Hartman, Morgan and Hill,
the vanderbilts, the Moores, Gould,
the Pennsylvania and Rockefeller.
While they conflict at times. their
struggles are In the matter of acquir-
ing properties, and their conflict result,
not in better or cheaper transportation
but in more stocks and bonds, upon
which the public must furnish money
to pay dividends. "The control of the
railroads of the country has passed
from trained railroad operators to
bankers, who speculate in railroad
stocks. A notable result of this con-
dition is the withdrawal of authority
from the local management and local
superintendent, the reduction of sal
aries to those actually doing the work
of transportation and the dwarfng Of
the power and capacity of the men
upon whose management the pablo
must Immediately depend. To this,at
least in part, is due the recent ten
dency toward less efficient service"
Governor Smith asserts that while the
railroad properties of the United are
capitalized at over Sl3 ,000, 900 600, care
full estimates of their actual values
show them to be worth less than &c.

Much has been written about the
Aldrich financial bill, passed by Con-
gress and signed by President Roose-
welt.
1t is claimed this measure does not pro-
vide for an initiation of the currency al
though it is regarded by some as a step
in that direction. 1t does not increase
or diminish the amount of the curren-
cy by as much as one dollar. but it is
claimed that it does add elasticity to
the currency system. There are three
important provisions in it which call
for consideration. The first simply
provides means whereby notes Of large
denomination may be changed into
notes of 81 ,2and S., the large bills being
retired and cancelled. The second au-
thorlzes the customs receipts to be de-
posted in national banks in the same
manner as internal revenue receipts.
AT present internal revenue receipts
tional banks designated as government
repositories, and are by them forward
ed, by system ofchecks and balances,
TO the nearest sub-treasury as soon as
practicable. Customs receipts under
the new bill are to follow exactly the
same course. If the secretary of the
treasury wants the national banks
to retain any OF this money on
deposit, he will,hove to designate the
bank and tina amount, as he has done
heretofore.
The third change in the existing law
allows the national banks to retire cir
culstion to the extent of $4,000, 0OO in
any one month, the present limit be.
ing SS 100000 Fine reason for this is
that hanks do rot issue additional cir
cllatioa in the spring and fall, when
there is a great demand for money, be
cause under the present limit there il
small chance for them to retire it after
the energies ey has passed. There arr
so many national banks that the pres
ent limit is considered too small to &C
commodate all that want to retir,
notes.
1t is 4 noteworthy fact that there ar
now applications on file at the UniteC
S ates treasury for retirement of tht
fu i 3,yoe, - pei onth for The com
ing twelve months. This is the onl,

OAe Of the old land marks of Wash =
ington life has passed away in the
death of Senator Pugh of Alabama.
He was a conservative statesman one
who was not afraid to defend the con-
stitution and the time honored GUS
toms and presidents set by the found
srs of the republic, and Democrat of
the old school. There remains but two
men in the senate now that were there
when Senator Pugh first took the oath
Of office: his venerable colleague, Sen
ator Morgan and Senator Allison of
Iowa.
Senator Pugn was always keenly in
terestsd in the labor question. His
speeches were scholarly and are still
quoted for their wealth Of information.
His speech en- the force bill is tradi-
tional. To the last Senator Pugh was
much interested in political affairs. He
said in a recent conversations:
To-day weare facing problems which
are greater than any we have had to
meet since the civil war. | mean the
problems of how to regulate the enor-
NOUS wealth which is being accunu-
lated as the result of our stupedeus
prosperity. Wealth is corrupting the
ballot and lowering the. standard of
public service. 1t has broken down
the old lines of social conventionality
and made possible the increasing num-
Der Of divorces. 1t has destroyed the
old national ideals and put money
above conscience and probity. 1t will
be continuous menace to the nation
unless fortunes are SO taxed that they
may take the burden Of government
of'the shoulders of the common pee
pie, and unless each man may have a
llrger opportunity to gain compe-
tency. This is not socialism; it is true
Democracy.

| The ru5h OF the TallIohu INTERESTS W
the cover of the Federal government
is one of the most remarkable episodes
of our economic history. Resistance
to Federal regulations has suddenly
become aequiescence in it; President
| Roosevelt. who has infused life into
the theory and practice of corporation
control through governmental sgsncy,
is now sought after by railway man
ayers as possible savior Of vested in
terests from the onslaughts of State
legislation. His vivid warning that if
corporations would not accept with
good grace the legitimate supervision
of the government they would be con-
frented with the rule of the meb, seems
to have been taken very seriously by
our financial magnates, to whose ex-
cited visions the mob appears to have
trken the tangible form of the State
legislator.
Mr.. Hartman s wish is for closer CO.
operation between the government and
the railroads; Mr.. Morgan is seeking to
have public anxiety allayed respecting
tAe relations of the government and
the railroads; Mr.. Yeakum wants a
close alliance between the railroads
and the government, meaning thereby
Federal control of all traffic, both
state and interstate. Mr.. Melles, in
an address delivered a short time age,
expressed preference for regulation by
the government, rather than by the
States, although he criticised the ex-
listing Federal rate law in severe terms.
But what can the President do to ac-
commodate these gentlemen?. He is al
ready committed to a modification of
existing statutes 30 as to permi' traffic
agreement under Fe deral supervision,
as Mr.. Hartman has frequently re-
minded us. Do they really want the
Federal government to so still further
int the field of railroad regulation and |
to absorb all the powers now exercised |
nv the States in regard thereto? We
should hardly think the President,
strong nationalist as he is, would be
prepared to travel all the way with our
rapidly progressing railway statesmen
in that direction.
AS even larger demand upon the
Fed eral power is contained In the sus-
gestion, often heard in railroad circles,
that the President should do some
thing to curb the auti-corporation ac-
tivities of State legislatures. This is a
sphere of endeavo rs int which our |
Presidents have net hitherto attempt |
ell to enter. Mr.. Roosevelt has been
compelled 10 take notice of the proceed |
ings of the California legislature, and |
has influence to defeat measures pend
ing therein because they affected our
foreign relations prejudically. The
precedent seems to have no applicable
ty to the railway situation, for state
railway legislation in no wise injur-
iously affects the Federal government,
Hor Is it it likely to interfere or con-
fiiet with Federal legislation on the
same subject-rlatter.
The country will await with intense
interest the outcome of the railway |
magnates' appeal to the President.
Bristling with suggestive possibilities
of governmental action, the situation
affords new opportunity for the man.
Hesitation of Mr.. Roasevelt's genius in
overcoming novel exigencies in state
craft.

LUPToN.

An unusually sad death was that Of
DR.. Edward Janney Lupton at the
home of his father one mile west ofthis
city, on Saturday evening last, March
% after lingering illness of eonsump-
ton.
DR.. Lupton was one of the most
promising young men within the
range of our Acquaintance. He was
man of extraordinary mental calibre,
was highly educated and thoroughly
equipped for his profession and it is like
the very irony of fate that he should
he was cut down just when he WAS en-
tering lis life's work. His age was
about % years. He graduated in Wash
ington about three years ago, After his
graduation with three of his class
mates he practiced in Washington
hospital. All four of them contracted
the same disease. From that time tc
the time of his death he made gal
liant fight against the disease. The past
winter was spent at Hendersonsville
North Carolina. He grew worse and
