A TOO AMBITIOUS MONOPOLIST. A striking ample of vaulting ambi- tion o'erleaping itself is presented for the ¢ msideration of an interested public in the career of President McLeod of the Reading railway system, who now seems to have reached the end of his tether as a financier and manipulator of ailroad deals. Late information con- cerning the hopeless muddle into which he huas brought the allied intere: under his control indicates that it will be but a few days before he will be com- pletely disposed of as a factor in the problem of Reading railway manage- ment, if, indeed, he has not already been ousted.

SEVERAL western states that have been making exhibitions of themselves in a political way lately should now brace up for the World's fair and show the rest of the country that they can be dignified if they try. This does not apply entirely to Kans EDITOR JONES of the St. Louis Re- publi ves notice upon the president of the United States that he will starve to death before he will stick his nose through a crack and squeal to get at the trough. This ishows a spirit of manly independence that is pleasant to soe. THE patriotic suggestion is made that the World's fair be formally inaugu- rated on the 104th anniversary of tho day on which George Washington took the oath of office as the first president of the United States. It happens that this an- niversary, April 30, falls upon Sunday, and as May 1 is the day chosen for the opening, the anniversary comes around just right. The program has not been prepared with any such observance in view, but the necessary changes could | from the senate the Hawal they had not before known, and it now transpires that, notwithstanding that President McLeod was appointed as one of tho three receivers, he was even then marked for removal from control. There are some matters connected with that receivership which look rather dark and mysterious, and it is not unlikely that it will be set aside, but in any event MecLeod’s grasp upon the great interests which he has done so much to destroy will now be relaxed under the pressure to which he is subjectod. The breaking up of the gigantic deals upon which this bold and reckless oper- ator had counted so much is a great victory for the people. Itis a vindica- tion of the power of public opinion that t to have an important influence for good in the future, and the fate of the man who, as the guiding spirit ina t enterprise of public robbe has enjoyed a brief period of triumph over right and justice, ought to be an impres- sive warning to all future Napoleons of monopoly. WITHDRAW. withd an annc tion treaty. This does not necessarily imply that it is the intention of the ad- ministration to antagonize the proposal to annex that foreign tervitory. It prob- ably simply means that the president de- sires that there shall be a thorough in- vestigation of the whole subject before final action, and besides, even if the ad- ministration is in favor of annexing Ha- wail, some medification of the treaty may be deemed nocessavy. It was reported before the advent of the new administration that Mr, Cleve- land would probably appoint a commis- sion to visit Hawaii for the purpose of ascertaining the true political conditions there and such other facts as it would be THE HAWAIIAN TREATY President Cleveland has | desirable for this government to be made acquainted with, through itsown agents, before taking further action. There has been nothing to confirm this report, but the action of the president in withdraw- ing the treaty gives credence to the awn such a position that it is unable to enter into any legal arrangements that will enable it to meet the anomalous condi- tions already referred to, or to 80 man- age its affairs as to either properly serve the public or make a fair return to its owners,” The president of the Pennsylvania system is unquestionably in accord with the general sentiment among the man- agers of railroads in expressing the hope that *‘a careful consideration of the sub- jeet will convince congress that the protection of the public, no less than of the companies themselves, requires at their hands legislation that will author the making of such contracts under proper supervision,” and it is to be expected that the railroads will renew their effort before the next congress to secure such legislation. There is little pros- pect, however, that they will be able to accomplish anything. They will never | be able to present this question to con- | gress more strongly than was done by the railroad presidents who appeared befor mmittees of the > houses of | the last congress, and having failed to make an impression then sufficiently general to bring about the sought for legislation, their chances of success in the next congress will in the nature of things be less. The sentiment that de- feated the proposed legislation was that the prohibition of pooling is really the most important part of the law for the protection of the public, and this is so widely prevalent that it is questionable whether the law will ever be changed in this particular. The people generally will not helieve that a system of pooling, even under the supervision of the Inter- state Commerce commission, would re- sult in giving them fair and reasonable rates, and hence they are unwilling that | the competition as it now exists shall | be done away with. — | ninety days before President Cloveland issues a proclamation opening the Cher okee Strip to settlers.
