And though you moot a sad rovcrse,

'Tls only that somo do things worso

Thoro Is a placo for ono and all;
Each lias his given powers.
Think what a sorry hush would fall
Upon this world of ours
If all tho birds In all the vales

.THE TWO-OENT FARE.
Tho reduction of patuongor rates throughout tho United States to a
"basis of two cents a mllo within a very Bhort tlmo Is practically assured
"by tho decision of tho presidents of tho principal wostorn railroad?, at
a mooting in Chicago, not to mako a fight at this tlmo In tho courts
ngnlnBt tho two-cont faro law of Illnois.
Tho opinions of tho heads of their legal departments as to tho prob
nblo outcomo of litigation ovor two-cont faro laws of this and other
statm woro considered at tho m f ting.
Whllo tho attornoys predicted that tho courts would declaro tho laws
unconstitutional, bocauso tho rato of two cents a mllo Is unreasonably
low and practically confiscatory, and also becauso tho lawp doprlvo tho
railroads of .tholr right of oquallliy, tho gonoral vlow taken by tho
prOBldents was tluit with tho PUBLIC SENTIMENT SO STRONGLY IN
FAVOR OF A TWO-CENT FARE and tho Inability of -tho railroads to
roduco Intorstato ratos to two conta a mllo In certain states, and to
maintain a bards of three cents, a mllo In adjoining states and for all In
torstato drips, It would bo folly to fight tho Illinois law and to contlnuo
tho litigation which has boon begun In other states.
Whllo .tho railway presidents did not outor Into any formal agreement
us to their futuro policy rognrdlng paij3ongor rates, It was plainly stated
by norno that tholr roads will reduce their rates to two conta a mile In
Illinois on July 1 and aa soon as pouslblo will roduco Intorstato rnto.3 to
tho samo basis.
Tho decision by ono big railroad to adopt this policy forces all tho streot crossings nnd nlloys, and by
other roads to do so, honco tho prodlctlon that THE TWO-CENT HA- constructing artificial stono curbs, In-
IH OF RATES WILL SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE THROUGHOUT THIS eluding corner blocks, nt all corners
COUNTRY FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE PACIFIC AND THE whoro no curved curbs now exist and
LAKHS TO THE GULF."
To rodmyj tho stato nnd Intorstato ratQ3 'o a basis of two cents a mllo
will cost tho roads millions of dollaro annually, but tho ablest railway
managers In tho West aro convinced that buch a roductlon In tho rov
onuo of tholr companies from pasoongor traffic Is Inovltablo.
It will havo tho offoct of making tho compotltlon for passongor traf
fic strongor than ovor, each road Booking to offset tho docroaso In ratos,
but It'uirooHlng tho niimbor of paaHongors,
Tho number or pnwengor trains undoubtedly will bo roducod by
