yBE rRrITS or REGULATION.

THE fruits or REGULATION.
The bulletin Of the Railway Business
Association in regard 10 state legisla-
ton affecting railroads bears out in a
striking way what The Tribune has al
WAYS said about the effect of regulation
IN checking agitation. The association re
ports a great falling off I'm railway legis-
lation in 1911. The number of laws
dealing with carriers declined from ga
in 1909, when forty-one legislatures
were I'm session. so 90 in 1911, with
forty legislatures I'm session. And
twenty-four states whose legislatures
were in session passed few or no rail
way acts. The tendency of those states
which had we'll developed regulatve
systems was 10 rest content with them.
Says the report of the association:
Tho states which have been pioneers in
regulation and have up to a recent pc
riod done most in that direction seem
TO have nearly or quite given up the
quest for further restrictions, and are
now evincinG anxiety 10 attract capital
for the development Of transportation
and business.
Most Of the new legislation Of i'm
portance was passed in states like Cali
fornia, Illinois. New Jersey, Connect
cut and New Hampshire, which had
Jagged behind the more advanced states
in passing effective public utility laws
and in other states where the system
of regulation was not completely devel-
oped.
Once the public provides a means of
adequately protecting its interests it is
satisfied 10 let the railways alone. The
anti-railroad issue ia rapidly disappear
ing from the politics Of the country.
And the railroads are getting out Of
politics. Railroad Hobbies at state Capt.
tolls arc becoming everywhere thing Of
III past. The result Is On Improvement
Of the morals both Of railroading and
Of politics. The railroads will soon come
to recognize. If they have not done so
already. that adoption Of effective sys-
TENS Of regulation by the nation and
by the states was real blessing TO
them.

In his appeal for votes for Murphy s

TO DEFENCE OF SICKLES
Gen. King Thinks Blackball Was
Result of Row with Meade.

General Horatio c. King gave his version
yesterday of the blackballing OF Major Gen
ersl Daniel +. Sickles by tho New YORK
Commandery Of the Loyal Legion. He pro-
posed General Slckles for membership and
is a warm friend and admirer Of HIM He
believes that the rejection Of General
Slckles is due to the Meade-sickles con-
troversy over moneuvres at the battle OF
Gettysburg.
General King said that II it were true
that the Loyal Legion had blackbailed Cen
eral Sickles the reasons go far given are
not entirely correct.
",rbe real reason for his rejection Is the
long standing controversy between the ad-
herents Of General Meade, who commanded
at Gettysburg, and those Of General
Sickles as to whether General sickles TOOK
the position with the I'd Corps that was
assigned to him by General Meade. Inc
latter claimed that the Sd Corps was to
form on the left and in prolongation of the
line Of battle on Cemetery Ridge. Inc
yro,,nd WAS low and difficult of defence,
ana General Slckles placed his corps sew
eral hundred yards in advance Inc 40
herants OF General Meade have always
claimed that this was disonedlehco Oh
orders. but whatever It was, General
Meade came down before the attack on
sickles's front began and sanctioned H.
ss wing in substance that it was too late 10
make change"
General King said that all statements as
~ q vote in the commandery were mere
euesswork. as the fact and not the ilgures
