daughter. Miss Mary Mccall and told
her she was feeling i'll. the attack be-
ing apparently one OF biliousness. Miss
Mccall arose and administered to her
mother and she appearedto be better
Saturday morning. but complained
much during the day and requested
that DIR. Kiicaid be called. Miss Nc
Call told her she would prepare a
treatment necessary at the time and
would then send for the doctor and
she went into the kitchen for this pur-
pose and when she returned within a
few moments her mother had expired,
doubtless from heart failure, superinI
duced by indigestion. The remains
were removed to the home OF Mr.. and

cause their full cooperation was
rendered impossible by law and
their competition made obligatory,
SO that 1t has been impossible to
assign to them severalIy the traffic
which could best be carried by their
respective lines in the interest of
expedition and national economy.
We may hope, I believe. for the
formal conclusion of the war by
treaty by the time spring has come.
The twent<-one months to which
the present control of the railways
is limited after formal proclama-
ton of peace shall have been made
VIII run at the farthest. take st
ior granted, only to the January of
1871. The full equipment of the rail-
ways which the Federal administra-
tlon had planned could not be COM
pleted within any such period.
Must be Fair to All.
The present law does not permit the
use of the revenues of the several
roads for the execution of such plans
except by formal contract ws,s their
directors, some Of whom will consent
while some will not. and therefore
does not afford sufficient authority to
undertake improvements upon the
scale upon which 1t would be neces-
sary to undertake them. Every ap-
proach to this difficult subject matter
OF decision brings us face to face,
therefore, with this unanswered ques-
ton: What Is IL right that we should
do with the railroads. in the interest
OF the public and in fairness to their
owners?
Let me say at once that ! have no
answer ready. The only thing that Is
perfectly clear to me is that II is not
fair either to the public or to the
owners Of the railroads TO leave the
question unanswered, and that IL will
presently become my duty 10 relY,-
duish control OF the roads, even be-
fore the expiration OF the statutory
period, unless there should appear
some clear prospect in the mes ntime
of Legislative solution. Their re-
lease would at least produce one eIe-
ment of solution. namely, certainty
and a quick stimulation Of private
initiative.
I believe that it will be serviceabIe
for me to set forth as explicitly as
possible the alternative courses thai

will permit wasteful competition to be
avoided and a considerable degree Of
untfication OF administration TO be
effected. as. for example. by regional
corporations under which the railways
Of definable areas would be in effect
combined in single systems.
The one conclusion that am ready
to state with confidence is that it
would be a disservice alike to the
country and to the owners OF the rail-
roads to return to the old conditions
unmodified. Those are conditions Of
restraint without development There
is nothing Affirmative or helpful about

An Era of Unselfishness.

devoted the whole Of their trained

the sinews of the whole great un-
