Tt is » matter of very little import- anoe whether or not Tux Ber was the personal champion of General Van Wyck's candidacy. General Van ‘Wyck was never the sole candidate of any particular person or journal, but wae taken up and elected as the rep- resentative of an element in the re- publioan party and throughout the #tate which was opposed to railroad monopaly jobbers and the “‘power, prestige and plunder” doctrine.

Two weeks sgo more than twc- thirds of the lower house were favors- ble to Mr. Bagnes' bill, sujeoting rail- road property tolocal taxation. When this bill was introduced, the horse refused to refer it to the railroad com- ‘mittee for fear that it would be pigeon- holed. The railroad fmonopolies at onoe brought the influence of a power- ful lobby to bear upon that legisla- ture. Last Friday, the house went Into committee of the whole for cone sidsration of the Baynes local taxation bill. To thesurprise of everybody, Biynes took the floor and made a most emphstie plea in favor of the dsfinite postponement of his own b Tae flop of Baynes fell into the ranks of the anti-moropoly men liko s bombshell.

Now York Times. The question of regulating by Law the operations of the railroads of the country for the security of great - ub. | lic interests is one which will not rest | until it has been settled, and it is difi- cult to sce what settlement can ever be reached without the infervention of state and national suthority and the genoral adoption of regulative meas- ures. The corporations tiiat own and operate the railreads have given little csuse for hope by their pae: action and | present sttitude that ey will ever be guided by the principles of justice or s regard for public rights where these | come in conflict with the selfish inter- | ests uf the managers. Solongasthere |are rival interests strugzliog with | | each other there will ba no possi- | bility of concert of action based on a rezoguition of the just demsads of sums objacts in the field of lnter-state commerce. But, notwithstanding their apprehensions, every srgument which they used in support_of the solicy for separato atates applies with full torce to the necessity of natioval action. The railroads have overspread the face of the country, passing from 4 ISH & McMAHON, Successors to Jes, K. Ish, DRUCGISTS AED PERFUMERS.

Tho abuses and wronge of which complaint made are not confined within state limits, and the remedy must be coextensive with the evil in order to be offeotusl, For the several states to act_independently and yet harmoni- ously, 20 a3 to establish & system of laws and of execution of laws which hould adequately meet the necessi- ties of the case, would be asimpossible = it would be for them to exist and work harmoniously torether in a plitical sense without the bond of the Uuion and the recognition of supreme authority in the Nation. States can only regulate their own internal com- merce, and tho commerce by railroad that most needs regulation is that which extends over and through states from one part of the country to another, O tho power of congress in the premises thero is n0 question. OF the ocexsion for exercising it fkere onght to be no doudt. The problem to ba solved hes only to do with methods and limitations. Thore are two bills befere the housa of representatives—that reported by the c/mmittee on cor:merce aud that proposed asa substitute by Mr. Re: gan, Tho former is understood te have been drawn up by Mr. Cbarles Feancie Adsms, Jr., and s presumed to embody tho provisions to which the railroad interest is_generally willing to submit. Tt provides for & board of national road commissioners, to have general suparvision over Inter state es, but with little power beyond that of watching and reporting. Chey are toses that the United States laws affectiog railroads sro enforced, but the valuo of that fanotion obvi- ously depends on what the laws are, Tt forbids discrimination in general terms, but would allow of pooling ar- rangements, rebates, dr er devices by which discrimination s wrought indirectly. The Reagan bill is much more striogent, prohibit- irg all dis-rimination In rates and ea between individuale, all allow- of rebates and drawbacks, all o prevent com- petition and discrimination between places to the extent of charging more for & shorter than for & longer distance. It does not assame uires all railroads coming within fts provis- ions to keep their sohodules of rates’| posted, which cannot bs changed with- out five daya’ notice, and to_adbere stricily to the rates so_ published. Theso aro the main foiturcs of the bill, apart from very rgid provisions in regard to penalties for viclation. Tt provides for mo commission to look afier ita enforce- ment, & defect which could be reme- died in & coparate mensore. It is sl- most a cortainty that lagislation will Iargely fatl of its purpose unless there 12 some one agency employed to secure its_prompt and constant execution, and held responsible for the perform: anco of that duty. It is a serious question, too, whether it will not be necessary to give that agency the pow- ers of o specinl tribunal for the settle- ment of dirputes and difficulties, asis dons in England. Tho Reagan bill by itself does not meet all the reqaire- ments of the case, but it may well be made the basis of a consideration of the subjoct in its variogs bearings, which should not bolonzer postponed.
