Two Cent Rate Fixed.

The Corporation Commission III
Saturday, handed down an
opinion in the famous trelghu an"
passenger rate hearings. Inc com
mission groups the railroads and hXeS
a maximum rate of two cents tor all
fine trunk lines, including the Sea-
hoard. Southern, Richmond, Freder-
icksburg and Potomac, Atlantic Coast
line. Norfolk and Western, New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk, Chesapeake
and Ohio. Washington-Southern ana
others. For the branches OF these
roads a rate of two and half cents per
mile is allowed, while for other small
.independent roads which have smali
earning capacity the commission hXes
: maximum of three and three ana a
half cents. The Piedmont, FrederlcKs-
burg and Potomac Marrow Gauge
comes within the latter ruling. so tar
as the general travelling public is con-
cerned, however, the rate is nat tWC
cents. No fare is to be less IMAM Ten
| cents. Az
The commission holds that in the
freight rate matter the question o
classification was of more importance
than reduction direct in charges ant
the reduction is made by the classlh
cation. Both orders are etfectlVe Oh
land after July /. The railroads arr
Ito appeal the matter. The trelgh
hearing was begun more than wv
years ago and that of the passehge
rate nearly year ago.

The opening day of the James'o""
Exposition, despite its incompietehesS
in MANY respects, is generally re-
oarded bv those in attendance as
success, but whatever our disappoih'-
ment because of its unreadlness OH
the day, there was enough TO De seen
70 convince anyone that it will be
brilliant success later on and tha' We
have the right to expect the predie-
tion TO be fulfilled, that the James
town show when completed would
offer a combination of attractions
never surpassed in this country
The largeness and extent of the In
position both on land and water as
seen on opening day juStities the con
clusion that it will be one 1.-THE hneS'
and most attractive ever held Wheh
completed, and there is every reason
that if should be. No grounds could
be naturally more attractive IMAM
that on which the Exposition Is oelhS
held the buildings are models OF archi-
tectural beauty, the exhibit VIII DE Uhe
hest not only of this but OF other
countries and the amusements on the
War Path will be supplemented by
those OH the water such as have never
been presented at any other EXPOSE
ton.
The Old Dominion portion OF the
Exposition, it is especially gratifying
to note. on the authority of the Gov
ernor of the State, is entirely salts
factorv-and all that could be desired
in mis- opinion, in the mineral, timber
agricultural, and horticultural depart
ments. There seems to be no question
as to its success of the Exposition an
as the Governor Views it, it will be "
monument to the enterprise Of Nn
ginia."
The newspapers of the country ger
orally concur with the views OF III
Governor as - NuO NRNA'-AS
their comment forthe most part D.
ing in accord with the following FRO
the Washington Post:
although very few exhibits are
place, the heavy and slow work OF II
exposition has been done, and Il
rest will be both quick and easy. II
preparedness of the jamestown L
position on the opening day compar
favorably with other great expo
tons. The rapidity with which e
bibits will be installed will probab
astonish those who have not seen
position builders at work. A Il
weeks hence the jamestown Expo
ton, so auspiciously opened tods
will be worth crossing the contlne
to see. 1t is built on a grand sea
and will long be memorable as an
ample of the enterprise OF Virginia

The decision of the State Corpora
ton Commission in the railroad rate
eases is. in accordance with just
popular demand, and fair to the rail-
roads as well as to the people. The
members of the commission with the
evidence before them could not have
conscientiously arrived at any other
conclusion. With the facts and figures
submitted by the representatives OF
the railroads at the hearing recently
given them, showing as they dld'
that the railroads were able to give
two-cent passenger rate and the peo-
p,e were entitled to it, the commits
sion, with a decent regard for the
rights of the public, could not have
ruled differently.
The commission in reaching us de-
cision too, it is gratifying to note, dld
so without any spirit of hostility TO
the railroads. The reasons given for
its decision, on the contrary showed,
that every interest of the railroads
was considered and every branch OF
its usefulness as we'll was given
proper recognition. The public, il
fact. with a proper regard for its own
interest could not desire to impair
the service of the railroads by making
anv unjust demands upon them, an(
its representative having shown by
their admissions during the late in
vestigation that they did not in thi
instance, it is to be hoped that thu
decision of the commission fixing tn
two-cent rate will be accepted by tn
Virginia railways in good faith, ant
that no effort will be made to revers
the decision, and if that cannot b
done, to indulge in the folly of re
taliating upon the public.
Experience has shown when tn
two-cent rate has been forced that
has caused no hardship to the raj
roads, but on the contrary has resul
ed in such an increase of traffic as
Weld an increase of revenue. Sucl
it is believed by those competent
Judge in the matter, will be the r'
suit with the Virginia roads. A spir
of fairness at least on the part of IL
railroads demands that they shou
adopt the two-cent rate and give it
fair test, even if the condi ions her
in their opinion, do not now justi
it. 1t is better to give it trial al
to rely upon the justice of the publ
10 submit to higher rate, if tn
cannot afford it, than to have co
slant fight on their hands as nc
seems to be certain, until the test
made
