THE ADROIT ENEMY.
Experience has proven the almost in
superable tasks of successfully regu
lating railroads. The very govern
ment of the country is not more nice
ly poised in the law, nor better found
ed in the art of preparedness, than
these colossal combines. Their legal
servants are better paid and the study
cf evasion, clrcumlocatlon and final
defiance of restrictive law, the In
variable code laid down and most
faithfully pursued by those same ser
vants. They are not standing for Jus
tice, for equality before the law; that
is a mere fragment of the work laid
out for their attorneys. The cold,
unscrupulous, critical negation of law
Is the first principle of their legal de
partments, and the successful ser
vant there, Is the cherished factor, as
well as the best paid, in all the al
minlstrative propaganda of these im
mense and arrogant concerns.

THE BEAUTIFUL FAIRY EXTRAVAGANZA
Mosaic-ally simple In its text, as to be
beyond the reach of false Interpreta
tion; turn it loose and await the In
evitable defeat. It may pass a re
ciprocal demurrage law, and create a
commission to apply it with all rig
orous justice; but the railways will
overmatch It by some miserable expe
dient that may cost them millions. The
cost is nothing to them so long as an
offending law is made inoperative, In
effective, innocuous. They will meet
a demurrage edict by simply saying to
the shipper, "Yes, we'll give you a car,
instantly, aud carry your stuff to the
end of our lines, and no further; we
must keep our cars In our own ter
ritory in order to meet this demurrage !
regulation, and you muat arrange for
the trans-shipment of your freight on
the lines beyond; we are not exchang
ing business now; it's up to you to
see your stuff through; we will not
even route it for you." And the ship
per will be Infinitely worse off than
ever, but the railway people will be
within the statute, and they can
maintain themselves, while the people
are seeking new remedies for the evil
they, themselves, have wrought, and
losing incalculably every hour.
The people have been far too gener
ous with the railways. They have
given over the forces of commercial
law to them utterly, and they are be
ginning to realize and recognize, the
enemy they hav debllerately
enemy the have deliberately
equipped to undo them.
