LEGAL PROCEEDINGS PROPOSED TO PREVENT Dis


EXAMINATIONS IN FAVOR OF NEw-YoRK CENTRAL


Complaint has been made repeatedly by the
President of the Erie Railway that the Lake shore Com
pany was discriminating in rates in favor Of the New
York Central the serious detriment Of the Erie
VIM w Macfarand of counsel for the Erie Company
said yesterday to a TRIBUNE reporter that after
repeated efforts TO adjust matters with the
Lake Shore Company, in which the Erie had
always failed, 1t had been decided to submit
the questions at issue to the courts, and proceed
ings would be taken the papers could be pre-
pared for the purpose of compelling the Lake Shore to
give the Erie Railway advantages and privileges equal to
those granted TO other lines. There was special
statute prohibiting all railroads from discriminating
either In favor of against the interests Of
any one road. Moreover, the Erie Company held
an agreement with the Buffalo and State Line
Railroad that no contract should be made
with the NewYOrk Central ut favorable rates than


those offered the Erie and at the time Of the cOnsOda
ton OF the Buffalo and State Line with the Lake Shore
Railroad the latter was made by statute 10 assume all
the obligations of the former Finally, the laws prohib-
tied common carriers from making discriminating rates
of transportation, ana was believed the Erie Company
had the legal right 10 insist that IL should have the same
rates the NewYork Central any other connecting


line and that right could be enforced by mandanus or
other appropriate proceedings.

The more the "solid south" is talked
about the more significant does the
phrase become. This bit of fresh light
upon it is thrown by the southern CORE
spondent of the Cincinnati Commercial:


"Behold what great power negro suf-
frage has given to the south! 1t has in
creased their representation so largely
that. with the aid of New York, Connec-
ticut and California. tor instance, they
can control Legislation. elect the presi-
dent, and administer the government
machine as they see fit. The rest OF the
United States may whistle. The solid
south and the three states named will be
the government in all that the term inn
plies. The far-seeing men in the south.
or those esteemed as far-seeing, de-
clare that nothing can prevent the south
from having controlling voice in the
government but the disfranchlsement of
the blacks. And they argue that this
will be the next great question which
will agitate the country. the north con-
tending for black disfranchisement, in
order to keep the south from running
the government. 1t is plain, very plain,
that the blacks will be made subservient
to the whites in every southern state.
and that so far from enabling the north
to hold the government, this enfranchise-
ment is having precisely the opposite
effect, giving the south so large num-

upon the mind of every true democrat is
now very essential. Anything that
