 MT. Kirkham, in exrlaining the acci- dent, for which those who witnessed it, hold him blameless. states that he had just come down the hill going to- wards Stratford. and was passing by the store at the corner at a slow rate of speed. A car coming .n tle oppo- site direction threw the flash from it's headlights into the occupants of the Kirkham car, partially dazzling the driver. MT. Kirkham says that the man in the read appeared to stand still, also dazzled by the glare of the lights from coth, cars. He was struck a glancing blow by the Kirkham car. which hurled him to the ground. MT. Kirkham bundled the injured man in- to his machine, and drove with all sped to the Bridgeport hospital.

from the nature of the case is not a
subject for bargaining-the usual
method of settling business transac-
tions-hence the alarm of shippers at
the recent movement of the roads to
advance rates. Shippers believe the
advance to be unnecessary and express
serious alarm at this exercise of arbi.
trary power free of restraint. On the
other hand the railroads find them
selves face to face with the problem
of securing sufficient revenue to meet
the increased demands of labor and
rapidly growing expenses. There
seems to be but one true solution of
this antagonism in the relations be-
tween the railroads and the people;
that is the establishment of some
court or tribunal designed to arbi-
trate and settle all such differences.
II such court could be devised, Sc
curing fair treatment to the railroads
and just and reasonable rates to ship
pers, a long step would be taken in
removing one of the most acute
sources of financial and political dis
quiet.

Higher Rates.

The railroads are evidently deter
mined to secure better rates and are
now filing notices of advances indi-
vidually instead of collectively; but
aside from this the general outlook,
though somewhat mixed, is in many
respects favorable. Recognition of
over-speculation in Western land has
forced general retrenchment by inte-
rior banks; and the steady curtail-
ment of credit is gradually curing
some of the financial ills from which
that section is suffering. 1t is recog-
nized, however, that the interior
banks will not be able to finance the
crops as easily as usual, owing to ex-
pansion of loans connected with land
speculation in the West. Eastern
banks will undoubtedly be obliged to
assist in the autumn crop movement
and have been preparing themselves
accordingly. AS a result of these
monetary conditions our bankers have

been forced to look to Europe for the
financing of proposed new security is
sues. While money Is abundantly
easy in both London and Paris. the
placing of American securities has
unquestionably been delayed by pro-
nounced foreign distrust of the situa.
ton here. On the other side there
has been growing feeling that sharp
liquidation must take place here, and
a lower level for commodities as well
as securities be established before
European confidence in the United
States can be restored. Such liquida-
ton is now in progress, in fact has
already run to a very considerable ex-
tent. Wheat and cotton have shown
marked declines, and the tendency is
for still lower prices. Commodities
generally are declining. Unsatisfac-
tory as this may be to those operating
for the rise, the country will ultimate
ly be benefited, and the cost of living
will decline. Both wheat and cotton
will go outward more freely and save
us from the alternative of a further
depletion in our gold supply. The
situation has already been materially
relieved by this unpleasant but cura.
tive process.

Of the struggle so suddenly precipi-

railroads IL unbearable, and some
judicial power is necessary to settle
the differences between them and the
people. Railroads are a natural monop-

liberal they may be, are likely in the
