The North German Gazette discusses" the
these princes, and wonders show such a
disagreement could have originated" as
the princes have not met since the Berlin
Congress, at which time there existed be-
tween them "the closest intimacy" 1t is q
little odd that the Gazette should have
have contributed some original informn-
tion. 1t might, if there is no difference
between the princes, have informed the
world with authority of that fact. The
Gazette is in position to know the relations
of the two men and does know them. and
that it does not deny the .troissement is
presumptive evidence that it exists. 1t
cites no other ground for doubling
the common rumor than that the princes
have not personally met for some time, and
since they could disagree extremely we'll
without meeting this argument is to be
taken as in the nature of chaff The world
at large may therefore consider itself as
officially informed that there is at this
moment no love lost between the two
Chancellors. At precisely what point
in the diplomatic game Gortschakoff
refused to play to Bismarck's lead
matters little to anybody. It has been
evident for great while that he would
have to draw the line somewhere. Bis
marck is not man to stop and Gortschakoff
is not man to follow indefinitely. Dis
agreement between then sooner or later
was, in the nature of things, inevitable.
It's possible results are of more con-
sequence than the precise point Of
it's origin. 1t has already assumed the
form of conflict for the displacement of
the Russian Chancellor. Ordinarily the
world hears Of imperial conferences in the
summer that take in the heads of the three
Empires-Russia, Austria and Germany.
This year Austria and Germany met to the
exclusion of the third Empire, fact which
disturbed the equanimity of the Czar, and
which, it was pointed out to him, was due
to the fact that he had too cantankerous
Chancellor He may prefer to change his
Chancellor rather than thus be left out in

In the interview which we print to-day
DIR. l. l. Hayes, distinguished member of
the Legislature who takes an active interest
in all the aspects of the transportation
question, states his estimate of the results
of the pending legislative investigation SO
far as it has yet proceeded. We are glad
to have the views of q gentleman not
unfriendly to the railroads as to the justice
of the complaints made by the people of
the State against these corporations. DIR.
Hayes does not deny, and we suppose no
intelligent and impartial man will under
take to deny, that there are substantial
grounds for the dissatisfaction with the
railroad management of the companies in
corporated by the State. The investigation
which was ordered by the last Legislature,
and is conducted with so much skill and
energy by the able committee OF which
Mr.. Hepburn is chairman, is of itself
proof of the widespread dissatisfaction
which prevails throughout the State. 1t is
owing to strong pressure by the people
that the present Investigation was ordered
by the Legislature. The facts which have



quiry prove that the indignant complaints
Of the business community have too much
foundation, as DR.. Hayes candidly admits.
The Determinations and tavoritism prac-
tised by the railroads of the State are
simply monstrous. The failure Of their
officers who have been examined before Mr..
Hepburn's committee to make any salts
factory explanations, and their brazen at
tempts to conceal or belittle the facts, make
a very unfavorable impression. The con-
tumacious efforts of railroad officers 10
battle Investigation necessitate and justify
the rigor OF the committee in their inquisi-
tion.


vestigation and observed the squirming
reluctance of the railroad officials to supply
facts and make explanations can doubt that
there is great deal which they have an
interest in concealing, or that abuses exist
which require an unsparing remedy.


This investigation perhaps comes too
late to have much influence in the pending
State canvass. And yet there is possibil-
ity that it may turn the scale in the election
when the two great parties are so nearly
equal in strength. The third party, which
represents these grievances, has put
republican at the head of its State ticket.
Mr. Lewis, its candidate for Governor,
is o prominent member of the Farm
ers' Alliance, and it is possible
that he may receive votes enough to
turn the scale between the two regu-
lar parties. The republican platform
slurs over these abuses, while the demo-
cratic platform recognizes them and prom
ises redress. 1t would require but small
rally of the dissatisfied farmers and busi-
ness men to draw off voters enough to
change the political complexion of State
which is SO equally divided between the
two great parties as the State Of New York.
The ticket of the third party, with repub-
lcan at its head, is more likely to weaken
the republicans than the democrats.
