Neat and at- tractive school grounds will do much toward giving visitors a more favorable impression of our city than they mow obtain. Money spent for this purpose will not be uselessly spent. President Cleveland insists that the demo- cratic party is always best organized and most powerful when striving for principles instead of spoils. Unfortunately it has never been able to put the desire for spoils in the background or to separate the principles from the patronage. It is also unfortunate for the democratic party that suce quires it to embody its supposed principlas in legislation, and it has failed in its en- deavor to be equal to this task. 8S o= Henry Clews sums up the rallroad situa- tion In this, that if dividends to be maintained it must be either through bet- ter traffic or lower wages. Lower wages to railway employes are, however, now a prac- tical impossibility, and therefore he ex- pects the various roads that are injuri- ously affected to reduce the accustom dividends. So long as they refuse to con- tract their inflated capitalization they will have no alternative but reduced dividends. It seems that the railroads want the laws enforced with an enlightened and delicate discrimination. They want all the laws that protect their property exceuted to the letter, at point of the bayonet, if necessary. They want all the I that impose the slightest burden upon them ignored or hung up by the tender compassion of the courts, They stand strictly by the law when their rights are endangered, but the law has no significance to them their dutle are in question. ed the ws when Paving this year Is waiting tlons from tho property without which the clty council has Jurisdiction to act, There Is a surplus of money from last year's paving bonds at the disposal of the eity for the purpose of paying the cost of paving streot but this money cannot be used until the people ask for paving in front of their lots.

Would not the sharp, keen-sighted plutocrats soon get control, and the poor laboring men be left as before? Sup- pose cong should issue $500,000,000 or 0,000,000,000 of bonds, would the condi tion of the laboring men be improved? The whole people must unite to change the condi- tion of things by one of two plans: One fs to blow up everything and watch what comes down—whatever goes up must come «down. The other is by the results of good citizen- ip. Could is wrong for Ny organized quoted as s Kelly's anarchistiec be gested than the up of everything and watching it down? If any editor had made such a suggestion his talk would have been denounced not as assinine but as seditions Onl. x weeks ago a great convention was held in Omaha made up of representative citizens and public officials from haif a dozen The object and only object of this hering induce take steps and make appropriations for dig- ging great Irrigating canals and ditches. Most of these representative men to Omaha on passes voluntarily or involuntarily issucd by the railroad managers. Did any preacher in Omaha find fault with the so- called irrigation congress for asking precisely what Kelly and his army are alleged to de- mand at the hands of congress? Suppose that Kelly's prayer should be granted, does it necessarily follow that the irrigation canals bullt and owned by con- struction rings? Why cannot the government build and own them just as well as it could build and own the canal between the Missis- sippl and the lakes. But suppose this vast en- terprise was undertaken by private enterprise stimulated in the same as were the Pacific railroads, would not the army of un- ed labor be relieved and glven an op- portunity to be supporting? Another preacher is credited with the fol- lowing utterance: Granting all that can be sald regarding the tyranny of capital, is it not true t men put themselves in the position of chat- tels by their own want of prudence and fru- gality? When a man fails to respeet him- self how can he expect other men to respect him? When the spendthrift comes to want, what right has he to complain because his fellow workmen refuse to give him of their hard earned money? Coming from an apostle of Christ such tall is cruelly uncharitable. If we were liv- ing In prosperous times, when all men who are willing to work can readily find employ- ment at living wages, there might be some excuse for talking about spendthrifts and the want of prudence and frugality on the part of the breadwinners. But when hundreds of thousands of sturdy, sober and frugal men cannot get a day's work in a week is it hu- mane to charge them with wasting their substance in drink? Preaching the gospel of Christ and his dis- ciples who tramped about Palestine without Kknowing where to lay thelr heads and taunt- ing American workingmen for being unable to carn their bredd affords a striking com- mentary upon the degeneracy of our boasted Christian civilization, After such an unsympathetic expression it is not surprising that the same minl er should have indulged in a defenss of the course pursued by the railway managers and In misrepresenting the facts relating to the demand for transportation of the Industrial army. He as that the railroads acted Just right in refusing to carry Kelly’s army free. This is not the point on which rail- road managers have been criticized.

Was there any sincerity in the plea of the railroad agers that they would be liable for damages in violating the vagrancy law if they ca ried the men at a cattle-car rate, when they were willing to take all the risk of belng prosccuted providing the men paid full fare One thing is clear, the men could not remain for any length of time in this vielnit They had to move on omewhere.

It proposed to compel the wool producers of the United States to compete with the cheap labor, the cheap and the of foroign There has been, accord- ing to recent reports, a great overproduction of in foreign countries and a gradual decrease of the of wool at the point of production oven in those countries. That being so, what might not be expected in re gard to the reduction in the price of Amer- fean wool If that commodity were placed on the free lst? There Is Invested In the wool Industry of thls country the enormous sum of over $300,000,000, and there 1s expended annuall among those employed In the industry $85, 000,000, including the services of the million flock masters, the owners of 45,000,000 head of sheep, with an output annually in mutton and pelts of over $110,000,000, more than the valuo of the gold and silver mines of America for 1802, According to the most trustworthy statistical report for the the production of wool in this was, in round numbers, 364,000,000 pounds, and the consumption 611,000 pounds, making our total imports a little 0,000,000 pounds. With a moderate duty this of imported wool yield a revenue of $25,000,000, some protection to the home have appreciable effect of woolen goods to the all the wool-producing countries the world there has going for years a steady increase in the production of wool, and le of consumed than been to lower pric this face been 8o end Ing S0 far as it deals as production cheap rents countries. wool pric. wool, past year count less than would afford industry the amount and cost In no on consume; of been on w some these countries Vo more they produced The now the tendency has growers of country are brought face to with new conditions, which are radically different from anything previously known. There are no more large tracts of government land suitable for sheep to be obtained. to produce wool It is costing more and more wool, it interest on land and cost of labor are reckoned, and although the limit of weight per fleece has probably not been reached, improvement in this direction must necessarily be We import al- most much as produce, and would undoubtedly import much more with wool on the free list, to the inevitable detriment of the home industry, for whether the American producer attempted to compete with the foreign producer in price or sur- rendered the market to the latter this country would be the loser. Why should the wool producers of this country be com- pelled to compete with the cheap labor, the cheap production and the cheap rents of foreign wool-producing countries? fs cer- tainly a most pertinent question. A Boston paper recently stated that local Wool houses were learning something about the way the free wool tarift is likely to work if the bill becomes a law. It said that British consumers were already putting in orders for American wool, which Had sunk in price to nearly a free trade basis. Large amounts of wool now held in Boston and Philadelphia are to be taken by British s the moment the pending tariff becomes a law, the expectation being that the price will go still lower because the consumption of native wools in Amer- ican manufacture will decrease. The out- look, in case of the passage of the tariff bill with the free wool provision, is that the American sheep raisers will practically be forced to sell fleeces at the consumers’ price. This cheap American wool will be made into 800ds by the British manufacturers and shipped to this country, where American manufacturers are to be undersold in these markets. Thus free wool will operate against both the American producer and the American manufacturer. But the demo- cratic tarift reformers are Irrevocably wedded to this provision of the pending bill and there is hardly a possibility that it will be changed, slow. as we a CLFIC DEDT. In a well written and carefully prepared article upon the Central Pacific and its stock- holders the St. Louis Republic proposes an entirely new theory as the basis of the goy- ernment’s action in p; osecuting its claims ainst that railroad. Those claims now amount $56,025,820, ncluding principal and defaulted interest, after deducting the sums paid into the sinking fund under the Thurman act of 1878, and for this huge debt it is freely alleged the government has no adequate security. The plans thus far pro- posed contemplate either an extension of the bonds or a foreclosure of the mortgage held by the government. The bond extension aims merely to postpone the time for pay- ment of the Pacific railroad debt, while sale upon foreclosure might not bring in suflicient to satisfy the government's claims. Of the Pacific railroads the Central Pacific occuples a peculiar position, because it was organized and chartered under tlhe laws of the state of California and it Is upon the provisions of these laws that the new the- ory has been developed. The constitution adopted previous to her entrance to 1849 expressly says that “each stockholder of a corporation or joint stock assoclation shall be individually and personally liahle for his proportion of all its debts and lia- bilities," Although this section been held not to be self-executing, legislation to enforce it was enacted in 1850 and again in 1861, amended in 18 The question im- mediately rises, why should the people of tho United States suffer their claims for §56,000,000 against the Central Pacific to re- main unsatisfied when under the laws of California they may have recourse tn the estates of the Individual stockholders in the corporation?

TO LEGALIZE POOLING, bills have been introduced in congress to allow railroad panies to enter nto pooling agreements, Ject to the approval of the Interstate Com- merce A measure for this purpose has been framed by a subcommitteo of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, which will probably be reported to the house at an early day. bills to legalize g are in the senate committee, but it is not probable that body will reach the subject until late in the sesston and possibly not until the next s The fact of so many bills having been duced dicate the interest which is taken in this though it does not necessarily imply that any measure to allow pooling can be passed This matter received earnest attention the Fifty-second but nothing done. A number of raflroad presidents and managers submitted carefully prepared argu- ments in advocacy of pooling, but they failed to convince congress that it would be wise to the interstate commerce law in this The fact that the Interstate Com- merce commission ceased to oppose allowing ds to pool business and practically gave its sanction to such legislation also ap- parently produced little effect. Whether these influences will be more potent with the pres- ent is present though the chances for the propos tion seem to have improved. So far as the Qistinctively business sentiment of the coun- try it fs doubtless largely in favor of allowing pooling under the super- vision and regulation of the Interstate Com- merce commission, and the railroads do not ask or expect legislation without this condi- tion. Nonme of the railway presidents who submitted their views to the house com- mittee failed to recognize the necessity of making pooling subject to the Interstate Commerce commission, fully understanding that no proposition to leave this matter entirely with the companies would obtain popular acceptance. Expressions from rep- resentative business organizations on the subject have very generally been to the effect that such an arrangement would prob- ably be found to wark satisfactorily, en- abling the railroads fo get fairly remuner- ative rates, obviating rate cutting and the devices by which the Jlaw is now violated, and Insuring greater fairness to all shippers. On the other hand there is a large popular sentiment in favor of allowing the law to re- main as it is, and while this may not be founded upon a very clear view of the prac- tical conditions affecting the question it carries a strong influence with the repre- sentatives of the people. This opposition to any change in the direction proposed urges that the prohibition of pooling is one of the most vital and valuable features of the inter- state commerce act, and that to abandon it, under whatever conditions, would be almost tantamount to surrendering the whole sy: tem of governmental regulation. Perhaps if there was more confidence in the Interstate Commerce commission this view would be less general. The problem is one that ought to receive the serious consideration of congress. The fact that within a year one-sixth of the total mileage of the railways in the United States has passed into the hands of receivers evi- dences a condition of affairs that urgently demands a remedy. Mismanagement, over- capitalization and other obvidus causes are mainly responsible for this situation, and these cannot be removed by changes in the law. But the consensus of opinion among railway managers, acquiesced in by numer- ous business men having extensive relations with the railroads and by others who have given the subject careful study, that to allow pooling under the supervision of the government commission, would be a valuable remedial measure, is at least entitled to intelligent and fair consideration. ry it number be Aodepted suggistion in o o the att here flaws in tions other these of the if this ostates e grown out way Several present com- sub- commission house wo pooli prope: slon, question, in congress, was amend respect the railros congress at problematical, legisla- is concerned to The Lobby B Philadelphla Record.
