MISCELLANEOUS
IN THE DAYS OF 1899.

Persons who regard with alarm the pos
sibility OF the government taking over all
the railroads within the next few years
should remember that there is many a
slip between the soap box orator and the
state treasury.
New York State came pretty close 10
putting a state-owned railroad on her
map in 1889. Some time previously a
measure OF state aid had been obtained
for Erie, the directors believing that
more could be secured. passed a resolu-
ton declaring that unless the state gave
three times as much assistance as had
been forthcoming. they would surrender
all their franchises and put the response
bility OF finishing the enterprise upon the
commonwealth. Unexpectedly, the farm
ing population united in approval OF the
idea. A bill authorizing public ownership
was passed by the Assembly. and II was
rejected in the Senate by a vote of IL
TO "A.
The Governor had announced his inten-
ton OF signing the bill had II passed, so
New York missed the acquiring of
state-owned railway by only two votes

MUCH UNCERTAINTY.

From The Bache Review" Of last Sat
urday is the following touching on the
depression in the security market:
1T is uncertainty. and not real condl-
lions, which is now depressing the se-
curity markets. with corresponding effect
on business sentiment. Uncertainty is
the confirmed enemy Of confidence, and
business will not venture any further than
necessary while II exists. New enter
prises wait and old ones move cautiously
under such conditions.
These uncertainties include the new
tariff and how IL will work out; currency
legislation and its effects; Mexico and
the trust question. As to the two last
named. I'm the Mexican situation Presi-
dent Wilson's attitude from the start Is
beginning to evidence its correctness, and
other governments appear to be turning
toward accord with him. One thing is
assured-whatever the Developments In
Mexico, the President may be depend' d
upon to handle each situation as II
mobilizes, In the most conservative man.
ner. Assurance OF this is had from his
past action. Under criticism for lack
of aggressive in the defence OF the
rights Of American residents, he has
steadily pursued course firm, but pre-
servative and human.
Another uncertainty, underlined or
more or less mystic, is the distant grOwl-
ing OF the trust question, with statements
of President Wilson's attitude and haunt
ing visions of the Seven Sisters.
I'VE do not share these forebodings.
The President is pledged by political con-
siderations to uphold the interests OF the
people against oppression from such
forms OF monopoly or corporate intol-
erance as this country has unquestionably
experienced in the past
