Mr. Cannon proposes to forestall acei- dents of this characterin the future. He has already purchased three country newspapers and is negotiating for others.

In the course of hi: Rock Island-Union Brewer made somethin to suggest that it economic and political queation whett this free country has nov made a mistak in giving too large liberty to railroad construction. By way of illustrating the d to three independent with separate and distinct tracks and rights-of-way, between Denv and Colorado, and said that a single right of way would be adequate for all the at the three roads have done or are likely to do for many years Yet besides the waste of lands and the in- jury to farms the cost of these lines, he had been assured, is much more than double that of a sing] right of way with two tracks. The public which uses these roads, Justico Brew on to say, the burden of this extra and he asked: “Would not interests have been moted if by contract or law all Leonds could have been compelled to unite in a single lin The distin- guished jurist might have presented, had it been necessary to do 0, muny no less forcible illustrations of the point he suggested, for they are to be found in almost every part of the country. It has for years been a contention of TuE BEE that there is too large liberty of Iroad construction, and the time will come when the intelligent judgment of the country will see, as Justice Brewer already does, that this is a very serious economic and political question. The construction of unnecessary and therefore unprofitable lines of railroad imposes an additional burden upon the people, and in case is a damage rather than an advan- tage to the public interests. On no sound cconomic grounds are such enter- prises defensible, and the more rapidly they multiply the greater be- come the complications and the difficulties of the railroad sit- uation. As to the political aspect of the question this may be less serious. but it is not to be lost sight of. The growth of corporations organized with the deliber- ato purpose of preying upon the public, or which are enabled to survive only by the adoption of methods that controvene the laws and antagonize the public in- terests, is a condition that may well be rogarded as a menace to our political system, [t is this condition that has gi warrant for the wide and growing demand that the government take possession of all the railronds, and while it muy be possible, as Justico Brewer sugeests, that the powers of a court of equity may yet be found adequate to the situation, and by laying strong hands on the railroad cor- porations compel the of contracts and secure stability, uniform- ity and justice to all, popular faith in this power is not now very strong. Inevery European country where tho right to regulate the financial adminis- tration of railways has been exereised, a new railway desiring to competo for business within the field of an already- oceupied territory must justify its exis ance upon grounds other than the mere desire to divide profits with an already- existing and adequate instrumentality, and it will not be authorized toenter the alrendy-occupied fiold unless it hasa sound public reason and demand to justify it which the existing line cannot adequately meet and supply. That some such policy is needed in this country is uized by all who glive this subject intelligent consideration.

There appears to be no doubt that Mr. Quay intends to offer his resignation as chairman of the committes, but it is not unlikely that he will be strongly urged to re- main, for the reason that no one seems to want the position. It was supposed until within a few days that ¢ would aceept it, buv the latest ad report him as refusing to be considered a candidate. This may be simply an adroit way for baving it pressed upon him, so that when the next tional convention reconstitutes committee he would have a claim to be continued as chairman.
