The population of New England is largely of old Puritan stock, and would not tolerate the pernicious mothods of corruption and favoritism by which railrond companies have been on- abled to control state officers and law makers in the now states. DButeven New England is gradually awakening to the fact that the very foundations of | government by and for the poople are be- ing rapidly undermined by the wholesale bribery of public ofMecials which usually begins by the acceptance of railroad passes—as a matter of courtesy—and ends by the downright purchase of vul- nerable official During tho sent yoar Massachu- sotts has thought it necessary to pro- hibit the issuing of railroad passes to the govornor, lisutenant governor, mems- [ bers of the. council, judges, commis- sioners and members of the legislature, Railroad companies in that state are re- | quired to have on sale mileage tickots | good on every rond in the state at the | standard miloage rates. This will enable a farmor to buy a 500-mile or a 1,000 mile tickot just as cheply as it ocan be bought by a merchant or a commercial traveler. It is now universally ailrond pass is a valuable thing given by railroads, in exchange for valuable ( service.

Annual passes good on great systems co conceded that a Ib be freely given not merely to public | officials from county road supervisor up to governor and United tos senator, but Lave been within the reach of almost cvery man who pretends to wield the slightest political influence. Theso sugar-coated bribes have not merely been within ~the gift of the railrond managers, but woro placed ay the disposal of prominent state and federal otticials, with blank pass books to be filled out at pleasure with the names of parties whose political support was desirable. Ihe insidious poison of bribery dif- | fused through every political artery has debased and demoralized our there is Nebraska. left of solf government in It may as well be admitted now that our government of the people has been a monstrous sham for years. The people have not ruled themselves. They have merely goue through the forms of electin representatives to enact laws and officers to and conduct the affairs of government. But the dominant power is the cor- porations. They dominate the state by the insidious influence of wholesale bribery and wide-spread corruption. So long as this wholesale distribution of bribes is tolerated all efforts at reform and honest government will prove abortive. DRASTIO RAILROAD LEGISLATION. A law has just been enacted in South Carolina for the regulation of the rail- roads in that state wnich is more radi- cal than any previouslegislution for this purpose adopted by any state. The law provides for a state commission to be elected by popular vote and extraordi- wry powors ave given to this bdy. It is authorized to fix absolutely and without appeal, freight and passen- gor rates for all the railroads in the state, It may not only dictate rates on single lines, but it may maké joint rates botween two or more con- necting ronds. Under the law all con- tracts between railroad companies as to rates must be approved by the commis- sion before they can go into effect, and the commissioners can bind the roads to such joint @r contract rates as they choose to lnsist upon. They have the authority to regulate train schedules and connoctions within the state, sothat the roads must run such trains at such times and muke such connections as in the judgment of the commissioners the public convenience may short, is to a v rable extent devolved upon the commission, which will doub%- less be composod of farmers who will enforco the law in the broadest moan- ing of its letter and spirit. The railroads, it need hardly be said, made & most vigorous fight to defeat the cnactment of the law, but the alliance legislature was deaf to thew arguments and appeals, and Governor Tillmin was equally obdurate and prompily ap- proved the legislation. Since its adop- tion the railroad employes have held meetings to protest against the law, but 1t will stand unless the corporations can have the luw set aside by the courts. Irom the spirit manifested in this logis- lation the South Carolina railroads can expeot little mercy from the sion, and according to the stitements of thelr managers they are not in a condi- | tion to stand a material reduction of raves. 'Chis, howover, 1s the plea put forward by the railrond people every- where when it is proposed to reduce their exuctions, If the word of railroad managoers wias always accopted as con- clusive the companies would nowhere be subjected to restrictive and regula- tive logisiation. Admitting that the South Carolina law goes further thun is necessury or desirable, yet it is fair to assume that the commission will not attempt anything destructive of the railroad intorest in the state. It is to be presumed that the people will choose as members of the commission men who have suflicient judgment and discretion to protect their interests while at the same time ng just consideration to the interests of the railroads. Doubt- less rates are now folt to be oppressive, or there would have been uo such de- mund for this legislation, and of course they will be redud 1t will nov necos- sarily follow, however, that the revenue of tho roads will decline. Lower pas- senger rates will induce more travel y consid mmis- will very likely b the case in South Carolina, 1If the tendency of excessive freight charges is to restrict business the converse 1s reasonably to be ex- pected from lower and reasonablo rates.

The working of the law imposing an inheritance tax of 1 per cent on large estates has so ploased some of the offi- cials of the state of New York that it is now proposed to make a tax rate of 1 per cent on all estates from 810,000 to $100,000, 2 per cant on all from $100,000 to #500,000, 8 per cent on those valued from #500,000 to $1,000,000 and 5 per cent on thoso of more than $1,000,000. If this were n mere unofficial sugges- tion perhaps 1t would commund little at- tention, but as it comes from the comp- troller of the state it is at loast worthy of notice. Comptroller Campbell s; 1havenot as yot decided what action I shall take in relation to the number and the nature of the amendments, but I think it is but Justice that men who escape personal taxation during their life should be made to contribute at their death. Ttis not the in- tention of the amendments to change the condition of the law as it affects the man | with a few hundred or perhaps thousand dol lars, but to apply to the men of hundreds of thousands who so distribute theirmoney that it escapes taxation * » * Mr. | Gould was assessed for $500,000 of pe nal | property during life and he was actually workh £0,000,000. Thus he escaped taxat 500,000, and such a law as T suggest would form a compensation after death for their evasion of the law prior to that time. tH No doubt there is a sprong sentiment in some quarters in favor of legisiation in this direction as a*means of restoring to the people a portion of the large | accumulations of money to which they are contributors, inone form or another, and also usa check upon the growing tendency to amass vast fortunes. The stato of New York hasa greater number of such fortunes than any other, and it is therefore uoproprinte that such a movement should have its origin there. Mpr. Campbell believes that such a tem would soon dispose of state taxation entirely. Under it the receipts from the ould estate would be swelled to $3,500,000, or about 00,000 more than was raised last® year | by direct tax upon all of the assessed | property of tho state. As there-are other possessors of great estates who are old and must soon pass away, and many smaller fortunes ave rapidly grow- ing into greav ones, it is argued that the inheritance tax at such rates would con- tinue to yield large returns to the state. But-whatever might be the value of | this plan as a means of compelling mil- lionaives to return to the pockets of the people a part of their accumulations, often wrongfully obtained, it could hardly be expected to meet the demands of public expenditure with Tammany in control of the state, and it would cer- tainly lead to publio indifference con- cerning the magnitude and character of such expenditures, for the people would not be likely to give much heed to the uses made of money taken from million- aires in'this manner. Still the subject is interesting, fascinating in fact, from the very nature of the proposition, and if Comptroller Campbell’s scheme re- ceives the backing that is expected it may at least give the money princes of the Empire state a good scare, ABIN, s being pubi THE WEST IN THE (. A good deal T shed, wholly conjectural, of courss, regarding the possible composition of Mr. Cloveland’s cabinet. While the guessers ave free with the names of prominent democrats in the eastern, southern and middle states, they take no notice of the cabi- net talent west of the Mississippi Some one has been named in connection with every position in the political fam- ily of the executive, but so far as we have observed no distinctively western man has been mentioned. If this 1s due to ignorance the cabines makers should make haste to acquaint themselves with the western material available for heads of departments, Of the seven members of the cabinet when Mr. Cleveland was first elected president he took three from the south, three from the east, and one from the northwest. The ap- pointment to the supreme bench of Associate Justice Lamar made a vacapcy in the cabinet which was filled from one of the middlo states, There are now eight cabinet positions, which will enable Mr, veland to ‘show more consideration for the western wing of his party than he did in his first T | maintaining will bo a politioal mistake if it does not roceive this deserwnd recognition, THE suggestion” that the interstato commerce law bo:wholly abolished stead of amended, ahd that a new start be taken from tha bottom fs not a bad one. If the recont deoision of Judge Grosham is to b regdrded as a final do- termination that the commission has no judicial functions' and cannot invoke the power of tho dourts to enforce its extra-judicial functions, then it is evi- dent that a eourt with special jurisdiction in such matters and comprising & part of the judi- olal branch of the government. is the thing that is needed to restrict railrond combination and extortion. With effective and judicious laws relat- ing to transportation and a court fully empowered to enforce such laws the interests of the people would find protection, The publio is thoroughly tired of fruitless efforts to enforce the present law and would like to see a new deal all around. NoTHiNG could be than to cull upon Mr. C licly would more ridiculous eveland to pub- announce what his administration do in a . possible exigency for gold payments, In the first place there is no substantial reason for apprehending any trouble on this score, and in the second place Mr. Cloveland knows as little about what should be done to prevent a cessation of gold payments as he does nbout practi- cal tariff reform. A PLEASANT feeling exists between the cities of Chicago and St. Louis. A newspaper in the latter city, comment- ing upon the fact that Mr. Armour has given the city of Chi worth about $1,500,000, says that the millionaire stole the money and that he ought to be in Joliet.

A aivision which would give two members of the cabinet each to the eastern, southern, middle and western states would at once establish a proper sectional | equality and would be judi- | ¢ious from the standpoint of po- | litical expediency. It Mr, Cleveland proposes to consider the future welfare of his party, and it is to be inferred from his public utterances that this | will constitute a considerable part of his concern during the four years of his presidency, he will not permit any one section to appear to have a predominat- ing voice and influence in his admiois- | tration. The west has a number of | | democrats who would be capable | and useful cabinet officials—men who are in close touch with western | sentiment and aspirations. They are to be found in Nebraska, in Iowa, in | Minnesota, and other states, and the democrats of these etates ought to make | themselves heard in advocacy of their claims, The west is the most important and the most progressive section of the country. It auonually contributes more chan any other section to the wealth of the nation. Its people are enterprising and pa- | triotie.
