THE RAILWAY WARS AGAIN.
The New York World has an
article on its editorial page under the
mcstive title "Conquer Reading by
Exhausting It" "By pushing the
r,.!.-nt suit ngunst the Reading sys-
them," 8-i)'s the writer, "and beginning
ami pushing as many more as possible
that system will be eaten up by its own
lawyers." By insisting on this course"
and constantly urging it" the readers
of the World are assured that it will
incalculably serve the interests of the
i)COile.
There have been various plans
suggested for the overthrow of the
Reading, but this of "conquest by
exhaustion" is the simplest. Mr.
Cassatt, whose terror of railway com
binations thrilled the newspapers in
February and March, insisted that the
Government should interfere. Mr.
Cassatt' sudden horror of monopoly
did not go so far as to propose a
dissolution of the alliances under
which the Pennsylvania system had
been made a powerful monopoly.
Nor did he propose a return to the
dear old Camden and Amboy days,
nor a revival ot the blessed tonnage
tax, nor a restoration to the North
ern Central, the Philadelphia am.
Krie, the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore and other ravished
corporations of their bereft honor
and dignities. His game was the
Reading, and his associate ''against
monopoly" was Mr. Terence V.
Fowdcrly. Several New York news
papers with unconscious humor were
pathetic over the Governor's "refusal
to act," when implored by such
eminent labor movement leaders as
Mr. Powdcrly and Mr. Cassatt. An
other cogent member of this anti
Reading alliance is Mr. Henry Clews,
a Wall street magnate, whose fin
ancial position is like that of those
enterprising gentlemen on the Jersey
coast, to whom every storm is a har
vest when it gives them the blessing of
a wreck. Mr. Clews 'advised the
State of Pennsylvania to take possess
ion of the anthracite lands, and ignor
ing the millions . that had been paid
for ownership by thousands of invest
ors, treat coa) as an inherent natural
right, as air, water and sun. Of
course, the principle involved was
confiscation. Money invested in the
transportation of wheat, the regulation
of water supply and the manufacture
of light was on this principle as amen
able to confiscation as that invested
in coal. Mr. Clews would, however
confiscate coal as a war upon the
Reading, and in the interest of Wall
street adventurers who had not given a
dollar for coal development.
Of these various warlike processes,
the Cassatt-Powderly plan of having
the Governor "interfere against
monopoly," the Clews plan of con
fiscation, and the World plan to -'conquer
Reading by exhausting it harry
ing the Reading by law suit, until
like that forlorn, vermin-devoured
bishop on the Rhine in the German
fable, it was "eaten up by its own law
yers, the latter seems to have been
adopted. I here are, we bsieve, a
half dozen suits brought, as the
World advises in its "Conquest by
Junaustion." The World, as our
readers nptc, commends these suits,
not for their merits, but as a part
ol "the conquest" of the Reading.
One of them was dismissed out of
court the other day in Easton. That
makes no difference. The suit cost
money. There is no reason why
mere should not be a dozen more
Reading "is to be eaten up by its
own lawyers," the question is not
what the courts mav decide but
keep the courts busy over "decision."
Yet this question seriously con
sidered is of the gravest nature. If
the money to defend these suits is to
be taken from Readinc investors, and
if by forms of lezal machinery it is to
be taken to such an extent as to "con
quer Reading bv exhausting it,'
where are the supplies found for their
prosecution? Lawyers are paid on
both sides of a cause. If the defend
ant is to be exhausted, who nourishes
and recuperates the plaintiff? Only
inc editor of the World supposes that
i uintirt Gummere in the Ir.aston case
paid a penny ol the cost. 1 he ew
York EwnitKj J'ost distinctly refers
to it as "one of the Pennsylvania suit
against the Reading. If the J-Joen-
" J'ost were not a careful paper we
"light overlook this statement. Yet
when a leading and conservative
newspaper sums up this conquest by
"iiaustion campaign as m reality a
series of "Pennsylvania suits against
the Reading," it ' opens an important
'"id ol uviuiiv.
Philadelphia studies the history and
ciuise of her own development, and
what does she find ? No corporation
"'ttiin her jurisdiction has had the roy
al endowments of the Pennsylvania.
e revive none iA the criticisms so
many of these endowments invoke
irom the reneal of the Tonnage tax
under Governor Curtin to the present
day. We have mi svnmathv with them.
The Fennsylvan'a is one of the forces of
"e nation, an institution of which tin
Commonwealth may be proud th
work ot a dynasty of gifted and jntrc
P'd men, and from that we would not
ke a Ktnno Mnr ln we iTiidee the
Pennsylvania Railroad whatever it has
ked, nor whatever it may ask in
'eason. But when the Question is,
whether the Commonwealth shall
Rovern the Pennsylvania, or be govern
ecby it, conditions change. While
the Pennsylvania has taken with the
open hand whatever the people have
given, she has resisted with clenched
hand whatever has been Eiven to any
one else, no matter how just and equi
table the claim. Take the entrance of
the Ijaltimore and Ohio into Philadel
phia. Think of the millions spent to
prevent it, yet the Baltimore and Ohio
is nere as she should have been whon
she asked admission. Take th uw
Line controversy. The money wasted
in opposing the Belt Line was thrown
away. Take the war upon the Read
ing terminals the long, wea'y, costly
war. In spite of the lavish disburse
ments to prevent it, the Terminal
grows into majestic forms of iron and
stone on Market street, and the Penn
sylvania is wisely following with a
noble building, in a spirit of commend
able business emulation. The money
that was spent to prevent these im
provements was, to use the World's
felicitous phrase, "Conquest by Ex
haustion." There has been no con
quest as yet, and no exhaustion, ex
cept, we fear of resources that would,
in the form of betterments or dividends,
have warmed the heart of many a
stockholder.
Philadelphia has as deen an interest
in the failure of this wretched, despi
cable business of "conmiest bv ex
haustion" as she ever had in the build
ng of the Pennsylvania. The interest
is the same. The Pennsylvania has
done good work. Let her keep on
doing it and all good go with her
Philadelphia sees that the Reading has
likewise done good work. Philadel
phia has in the Royal Blue, between
W ashington mil New York, one of the
best trains in the country. She has a
second line direct to Buffalo and the
Lakes. She has mother system to the
seashore, as hundreds of thousands will
gratefully acknowledge in these harsh,
uakmg nays, bhe has swill and spec
ial access to the Lehigh and Schuyl
ill valleys, with there assurance o
beautiful homes. The Philadelphia
may go to Hartford, Boston, the Berk
shire Hills, to the rocky coasts of
Maine and the Canadas, without that
tribute to discomfort involved in sham
bling and dragging about New York
The pilgrim to Chicago, because of
the Reading system, may go by way of
Niagara and return by way of West
Virgirfia and see the wonders of the
wonderland. These are the results of.
business foresight, the outcome of
spirit of enterprise, the development
of a policy that would keep pace witn
the gigantic strides ot a great city,
Philadelphia is richer because ol the
Reading. Nor is the Pennsylvania
poorer, President Kouerts, in his ad
dress at the annual meeting ot the
Pennsylvania stockholders, dwelt upon
a prosperity which enabled him to ex
pend in the State alone a million dol
lars a week. No citizen grudged Pre
sident Roberts a penny of this. It
was assuredly a prosperity that the
growth of the Reading has not disturb
ed. It is the nature of these enter
prises that one should help the other ;
that they should develop new wants,
new industries, new sources of pleas-
ure and recreation, new channels of
trade. There is room on the sea for
the Cunard. the Inman, the French,
German. Italian steamships. There
is room in New York for the Central
Erie. Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsy
lvania. Why grudge Philadelphia
another trunk line? And more es
pecially why in the interest of those to
whom investments are property in its
most sacred form, indulge in these le
gal wars of "Conquest by Exhaustion.
Nothing is conquered, and exhaustion
is in thcend quite apt to tall upon in
noct-nt stockholders whose money is
wasted in prosecution of Gummere
and other suits like the barren pro
rppHinirs which failed at Easton on
--
Monday.
This war of "Conquest by Exhaus
tion" is not merely between two com
panies, the one striving to follow the
World's advice, and have the other
"eaten up by its own lawyers," but
war uoon values. It involves an emi
ment oeril. It is easy to fire a prairie
but how hard to govern the flames ?
Capital, and especially capital of the
poor investor, ever sensitive, grows
more so from day to day. 1 he cap

where is the security of his invest
ments, when he reads that property is
to be deliberately "conquered" by in
numerable and exhausting processes
of law? To him the asylums ot jus
tice are to become the arsenals of an
archy anil destruction. Is it surpris
ing that distrust should spread ; that
foreign investors should b wary ol
securities of inherent value ? The
means proposed by the enemies of the
Reading would, if unchecked by pub
lic oninion, destroy any interest in the
land" Conquest by exhaustion is sim.
ply anarchy under the pretext of equity
and law. Tudge Schuyler, of North
amoton, has summarily put an end to
the' Gummere experiment. Others
remain, and in the best interests of
the city, of property and justice, they

"Did you ever Uno-v," said a well
known specialist, at he deftly inserted a
looking-glass into the roof of a patient's
mouth, talking the while to a reporter,
"that the throat has a brain ot its own?
No? I suppose few of the laity know it,
but it's a fact. There is a small ganglia
which exercises direct control of tha
muicles of the throat and acts as its
brain. Of course it is subservient to the
genuine brain, but at the tame time does
a good deal of independent thinking for
itself. It ia very timid and susplcioui at
any strange objects that come near tho
throat
"For this reason it is very difficult for
a physician to operate on the throat.
Rafara anvthinir can be done in this di-
motion it ia neceasarv for the operator to
gain the confidence of the little brain
that dominates it. It frequently takes
weeks before this confidence cau be se-
oured, and until it is secured it is lmpoa

ia finallv made to understand that
nn harm ia intended it. but that tbe phy-
sician Is actuated by friendly motives, it

"But woe to the man who attempts
rough treatment to the throat before
gaining tbe little brain's confidence and
in spite of its protests. Bis operations
will ha resented with violent paroxysms,
firat of the throat, then of the diaphragm,
and, if the operator still persists, the pa
tiont will be thrown into convulsious.
Still more curious is tbe fact that this
little brain has a memory, and if once

4 Ilepubllran Keynote That la Iieold
edly "Oiiavprlah."
Senator Carlisle's answer to Mr. Aid
rich hits stirml up tho I.cpublicuu
brethren mightily, and they are not so
;ontent as they profossod themselves to
lei the Rhode Island senator's ?pech go
out as the "keynote of tho campaign."
In fact, they now find that keynote to
be decidedly off the proper pitch, and
are trying in various ways to sound it so
that it will bo free from suspicious
quavers and crackings. Senator Sher
man reverted to the ancient melody in
praise of dear goodx, ntid said that Mr.
Carlisle's demonstration that the McKin
ley bill had increased the cost of living
had no terrors for htm, inasmnch as he
was far from sure that cheapness was
desirable.
Our own senator tried his mouth at
tho keynote and took the position thnt
since a large part of the increaee of the
cost in living was due to enhanced prices
for agricultural product, the McKinley
bill could not be held chargeable for
that advance, bccuiuie "the prices of
agricultural products are not really af
fected by the tariff legation r f 181X1."
This is rather hard on Senator Aid
rich, Uncle Jerry and Tho Tribune, and
their assertions that McKinley had put
millions of dollars into the pockets of
the farmers. It is hardest of all on tho
New York senator, who two years ago
developed such a consuming interest in
tho farming population, and so emphat
ically said that the McKinley bill was
solely for their benefit, that he was at
once dubbed "Farmer" Hiscock. Alto

REPUBLICAN IGNORANCE.
A Touch of Coinlo Journalism from Par
tisan Papers.
An afternoon organ of Republicanism
quotes tho statement of a Democratic
newspaper that "the French are leaving
Canada and coming to us because they
can earn a better living here," and calls
it "a frank confession." "What a re
buke," it exclaims, "to tho freo trado
advocates to find thousands of emigrants
rushing from the domain of free trado
England iu search of a bettor living in
the land of protection!"
As a touch of comio journalism tho
suggestion that in leaving protectionist
Canada the French Canadians are run
ning away from "free trado" is only
equaled by the calm assumption that all
the advantages of climate, soil, inter
state free trade and business opportu
nity which this country offers are the
fruits of the two-year-old McKinley law.

A Startling Record.
It is to be remembered that manufac
tures in this country have not been
prosperous during the past year, and
that the decrease in imports has not been
offset by home production. The enor
mous taxes levied have simply compel
led thousands of the people of the Unit
ed States to do without these necessa
ries, while other thousands have bought
them at the cost of a heavy tribute
either to an extravagant government or
to pampered trusts. It is a record which
should make sensible men pause and
think. Sioux Falls (S. D.) Argus-Leader.
A Plea.lnj Condition.
The pleasing condition which con
fronts the Democrats is this: There are
Democrats who would vote for Cleve
land without tariff reform, and there
are Democrats who would vote for tariff
reform without Cleveland. Now when
they can have both Cleveland and tariff
reform it is beautiful and delightful to
meditate upon the multitude of joyous
Democrats who will press to the polls to
vote for Cleveland and tariff reform.
