One copy, per annum, in advance...S2.09 When not paid in advance......... z-0 THE RAILROAD COMPETITION . Much has been said of late in reference to the competition of the Canadian. Pacific railroad, some even going so far as to say that congress should take the matter in hand and "regulate" the traffic over outside routes. Perhaps the Kansas City Times hits this matter on the head about as fair as any one who has indulged in writing it up. It says: "A great lice and cry has been raised because of con tinental lines, and now it is said a billisto be introduced in congress o shut out Canadian competition. In other words, shippers and buy ers are to be deprived of the bene fit of low rates to build up a railroad monopoly, just as our merchant marine was destroyed to foster a ship-building monopoly,. Ihe reasons urged for the bill are thtit wit; vaiiauiau i, 1 1 1 v. die uvii i i ui juration in the sense that Ameri can railroads are, but was built by the dominion government, is run by the government, and receives subsidies from both Canada and Great Britain. Well, suppose it is. Mas the United States government become so paternal that it is will ing to build transcontinental rail roads, give them enough land for a kingdom, make millionaires of a few men, and then deprive shippers and consumers of the benefit of competition to further enrich the corporations it created? Is the United States ready not only to build railroads but to take care of them. The Northern Pacific was built by the government for the purpose of competition. Did it compete? By no means. Its first act was to pool issues with its Southern rivals to maintain exor bitant rates and oppress shippers. The exactions of these creatures of the government are too well known to be mentioned, but as soon as a competitor step3 in and offer.- cheap transportation they run to uate their nsury. Is if protecting home industry to shut out a foreign competitor, th:it is a blessing to the people, in or.lr to protect Lome monopoly? Must the people TV deprived of the benefits of cheap transportation because a foreign railroad is carrying mer chandise cheijer than our trans continental lines say they can afford to? Tae proposed bill is wrong in principle ; it is contrary to the spirit of American institu tions. The government is inn for the people and not for corporations, and congreFS has no right to enrich or protect anv corporation at the expense of the people. It is carry ing protection a little to far. The fact of the matter is that, call the Canadian Pacific all the hard names we may, the people are getting the beuerit of low rates, and the transcontinental ool, now called a traffic agreement to main tain rates, is attempting to deprive the people of the benefit of them through government interference. We believe that the government has more important functions than the protection of railroad rates." DEBTS OF HOXUR. There exists a curious custom anions men, which makes it oblig atory to immediately meet what is called" 'debts of h onor , " w h i le obi iga tions entered into with the tailor or grocer for the actual necessities of life are perhaps pushed off to the very verge of legal collection. When It is remembered that these so-called debts of honor are almost invariably contracted at the gaming table, the anomality oi the situation is apparent. It is odd that these peculiar debts should alone have the monopoly of the word honor. The tradesman who has supplied his customers with a quid pro quo has a right to have his account discharged. It may be fairly said that the tradesman who gives credit with his eyes open has his legal remedy and can issue a summons, whereas gambling debt are illegal. This is certainly the law, but its practical working is sometimes curious. Debts of honor are paid at once, for a gen tleman dreads losing caste; but the tradesman only sets his legai remedy in force when he finds out j that the credit of his debtor is j almost gone. He is also hampered j with the knowledge that any un due pressure will do more harm than good and drive away mauy profitable crsiomers. All English journal SUgge&tS that some legal action be taken to cor rect this absurdly unjust custom. A law, backed by public opinion, might, we think, insist that-any one receiving a gambling debt before the legal ones were paid should be obliged to refund the money to its rightful owners i. e., the legal creditors. This.of course, would entail many difficulties about proofs, limits of time, trus tees, etc., which it is not in our province to enter into; but we believe, if this were found possi ble to do that the two kinds of debts might possibly share the name of debts of honor. Then collaterally it might have a bene ficial effect in reducing gambling to its ultimate limits, namely, the limits of surplus cash. NEW TO-DAY.
