Holding Railways to Schedules.
New York Times)

The Winconsin railway commission
has devised the curiously simple plan of
asking the roads entering Milwaukee to
explain to it. for publication, the late
ness of every train that was DELAYED for
several months past, and to keep such
record, with full explanation in each
case, till further orders. That, now. in
an excellent idea. and if the desired in
formation is given-as it presumably
will be. since nowadays when Wiscon-
SIN speaks to its railways they sit up
and pay prompt attention-thc people
OF the state will have light on what is
everywhere else dark mystery.
And really we think that the RAILWAYS
owe to their patrons not only clear.
but an adequate. explanation every sim
gle time train is late, and that every
single time when the explanation is not
declared adequate by some competent.
reasonable, and disinterested board or
judge, penalty should be imposed on
the road, carefully proportioned TO the
amount of Inconvenience and loss inn
posed upon the passengers. With such
rule or law made-and enforced-we
are almost sure that train delays would
promptly decrease in number.

A BATTLE OF VULTUaES.

The fractional battle that has been go
ing on among the Democrats for con-
troll of the Eastern Hospital at Williams
burg has been very disgusting to many
good people. Even some of the Demo-
cratic press have grown tired of it. The
Richmond News Leader a few days ago
in an editorial about the situation had
the following to say:
Isn't it possible to find some way to
bring this Williamsburg asylum mess
and confusion to definite point and
conclusion? The general public is sick
and tired of it. The average intelligent
man has lost all comprehension of it. 1t
is like Jarndyce and Jarndyce, so OBJ
scured with injunctions, exceptions. side
issues and technicalities that everybody
has forgotten the points and persons in
volved, and nobody seems to know what
anybody else is trying to do. 1t seems
to US that with a number of sensible
and well meaning men engaged in the
case both as counsel and participants
some short and easy method of salts
factory solution ought to be found and
used. Fighting for the sake of fighting
and contending for the mere love of il
at the expense of the state and involv-
ing the loss of time and nervous energy
for busy and important men is not
worth while -
The mess will never be brought to a
point until the stronger army of politi-
cal vultures get possession of the putrid
carcass. What care the combatants for
the feelings and opinions of the general
public? They continue to criminate and
re-criminate and expose the shameful
conduct of each other. 1t is not fight
for the sake of fighting but a struggle
between warning factions and hungry
Democrats who want place and power.
Graft and incompetency are being
brought to light, but this avails nothing
for the public good, because of the mo-
tive that is impelling the controversy
and conflict.

The indications are that the year 1907
will be as fruitful of prosperity for the
