Commissioner Fink, wliose function it
is te keep tlie leading railroads from cut
ting I heir threats In their etniRKlcs for
tliteugh business, te3llllca I)efore the
cengrcailnual committee In explanation
of hi duties. Ue regards liIs.i.ll.cens
a bureau of information for the railroad
companies sustaining it. He finds out
evcrythlng of Interest te the movers of
frclshts. He discovers hew heavy a
charfie dlffeient kinds or freight will
bear at different seasons or the year, and
advises his companies thereof. Then he
determines what portion of the frelRlit
competliiB companies should carry. He
regards his olllce as n benellcial one te
tlie public us well as te the railroads,
slnceit is important te business Interests
that steadiness in canyins charges shall
be established. And there isnodeult
that tills Is really desirables ; though it
i3 net deslrable te the business commu
nity that It should luive n steady IiIbIi
freight charge Instead of a steady low
one. Mr. Vlnk, however, considers that
frelBht charges will never be madoteo
high through his bureau, slnce natural
causes will always keep them down.
He cites water transportation as one of
such causes ; and a very important pre
tcctien it is. There is also protection in
the number of cempcthiB companies ;
for although they are combined under
the slngle control of Mr. Fmkas te llu-lr
rates of freight, the higher these rales
aromade the greater Is the temptation te
each company te attempt te steal man'
than Its share. Mr. Fink Ileitis it ut
dlfllcult te prevail upon tliemteili.il
honestly Willi each ether. As long as
there Is enough freight offering te Ktep
them busy all around, he has an easy
berth : but this seldom happens. The
earning facilities are generally grea'er
than the demand, and the tendency in a
railroad company te setza upon what it
wants is net te be restrained by its
agreement te take only a part of the
business it can get. Without Mr. Fink's
office the different carrying companies
would contend with each ether for
freight until they were all bankrupted.
Then they would be reorganized under
a smaller capital and would be nb!e te
de business at smaller charges. The
country generally would be bencll'fd.
Mr. Fink's duty Is te stay this natural
process, and te enable the heavily cap
italized railroads te earn dividends.
While he is doing this ether railroads
are being built, with tin; expectation of
getting the business of the eiiler
reads because they can de it
cheaper. If their projectors would
build geed ivad3 as cheap as possible and j
capitalize them at their act tint cost, the)
would net need te join Mr. Fink's poe!
te get all the business they, can de. lint
the temptation te make ia big profit
speedily is loe great for them te resist
and they get up an inside construe! inn
company, which is very moderate in its
appatte If it does net make mere than
a hundred per cent, prelit en Us udven
ture in building the railroad.
Take Mr. Vanderbilt's low read, for
instance, through Pennsylvania. Ii is
te be built tiytl.e American construction
company ; mid the mad h te give away
a thousand dollars In its stock for every
thousand dollars in bonde subscribed by
its projectors and tln-ir f Howls. 'I bus in
the llrst step taken the read is capital
ized at dotible the amount it pays its
construction company; and t here may
be a still further prelit te that leeel"
There i.s an explanation heie of the pro pre
test made te lh' governor and Legisla
tuie that the $10,000 of stock and bends
authorized by the geneial railiead law
neiiiu nut. uiiiiicu U) OIIIKl UilS le.ld,
which it was said was te 1 c.ir
lied at :tn enormous cost and
nearly a dead level ever the
hills uud valleys of the state If
this read is ever built it will probably
have se great a capital te earn lntm-nt
en that it will apply te ceiu in undo,
Mr. Fink's protecting wing and lu-g a
pIiu re of the business that is going. Hut
some day this nice way of making a ter
lime by building a uiilread, leaving suit
tequent owners te lese thulr's in running
it, will come te an end. i is i,et a very
lively business evi n imw. There ianetlung
very inviting in railiead pieperty a rail,
read projects. We have an ever suppiy,
for the present. When Mr. Fink gi-ls in
the end of his rope in his elfeil te give a
living subsistence te his numerous
hungry clients, they will go undir ii,i.
auctleneei'j hamiiier and lailremU wm
ha cheap.
Commissioner Fink dots net want the
government te own the railroads as tin j
de en the Uiirep-aii continent. Neithei
de we He objects because he thinks the
business Is tee full or detail for govern
nient management. We object because
it is tee full or opportunities of stealing
for government elllcers We knew by
experience that they are net te be trusted
In the American ii'ineiphere. The
lieople are safer in the hands of private
band of railroad rebbui s, who will fall
out ever the plunder and give honest
men a geed eh moo for their dues.
Tun new postage law will go Inte
effect en October 1 and the preparations
of business men te take ad vantage of its
mero liberal previsions are se general
nuil exteuslve that it premises at an
early day te se atimulate the postal bual
ness of the country as te make it certain
that the great Increase of mall matter
will mero than compensate for the reduc
tion of ratti. The drop from three te
two cents for ordinary letter pestage is
a very decided ene and will or course
create an Immediate shrinkage of reve
iitics from that source, but there will
be many mero letters sent and
a vast number of circulars, lithe

lopes, will be sent, hereafter nit sealed
letters at the' new and cheaper r.ite, se
that there will be ahirge Increase In that
direction. Thegevernment has net seen
fit te erder any reduction of drop letter
rates, uud It will cost as much hereafter
te carry a letter ncress the street as
across the continent. This anomalous
condition of things Is of course only tern.
yerary. The government having sup.
pressed nil local delivery agencies cannot
afford te maintain these high and unpop
ular rales te Ilia public Inconvenience;
the ene cent rate for drop letters must
come in the very near future. ,
" Philadelphia Politics?
The Republicans of Philadelphia se
lected their county ticket yesteiday ;
leueminatlug (ion. s. Graham for dis
trict attorney and W. K. Littleton rer
clerk or quarter sc33leii3 j naming Dep
uty Corener Themas J. Powers rer coie
ner and E. Harper, Jeffries for controller.
The strength of the nominations is pep
ularly estimated te be about in the order
wehave named them. Against them
the Democrats are tolerably certain te
put Inte the Held W. W. Ker or Cel
Reltert P. Dechert for district attorney,
Gen. Oeo. It. Snowden for clerk of iuar
ter sessions, Dr. W. IT. Heeper for
coroner and S. Davis Page for controller.
The Itepiiblicans of the best pelltica1
judgment, appear te be cenlldent of
Graham y election and hopeless of
Jeffries'. Tills feeling arises mainly from
the attitude of the independent Repub
licans of the city, represaiited by the
Cjinmilteoef One. Hundred, and fairly
oppressed by the l.aljrr, which, in Its
review of the situ itien today says .
Wherever tbe uomineo in the ineumlitnt
of the nflice for which he is new a eamli
d.ite, has acquitted himself well, has
acquired exorieticc, has proved his ability
ami lidehty te the public service, he is
entitled te the llrst placs in the voter'
favor, miles thore is another cindi.iote
who is olearly suparier in these dein te
stratcd qunllllcatteus. fu otlier winds the
c.vididote who i.s pat forward te tlisploce

cumbent should be. unmistakably liottei

This Idea Is suppose.', te slienglhen
Graham and Page; it is net se sure that
L'tlleten and Powers will net suffer by
omparisen with the men whom Iho
D.'inecrats will name as their contest
ants, and imWd tip woele Republican
ticket is one that encourage the Dome
cr.its of Piilladelphia te make a hopeful
light against it. The Lcdi r says that it
is indispcusible that the cenl.vller shall
be incapable of being tnlluenced by
"friends," by politicians, by contractors,
by jobbers', or by anybddy or thin;, except
the law and his etlicial duty. This is
well understood te rule out Mr. Jeffries,
who is " Rewuu's man." In almost the
siuie snse Littleton is " LpciIs' man,'
aud Powers is ' I, tne's man," a relict of
the odious city recorder's nillee. The
people of Philadelphia have repc.v'elly
shown of late Unit they are tired ei the
llrem of Rewan, Lane, Lenh. A Ce
Tin: New Yerk Republicans had a
very tame and spiritless convention yes
terday. It was distinguished mainly by
a general manifestation of hopelessness
in the election of thpslate uilicers renein
inated, and by tin1 sticcesjfuleffert of
the Stalwart factle i of the party te cap
ture the organization for use in the res
identinl contest next jear. There was
net even a geed sized pretense at recon
ciliatien between the Stalwarts and the
Hall 1'ren.ls, and tby did net come te
blows simply because, they bad nothing
worth lighting ever. 1 1 is te be ebser vi il
by Mr Wharten Darker and these who
I think with him, that their f.umtis " dis
tributien of surplus " idea was snubbed
by the New Yeik Republicans. They
sjem te ii?rei with the IVtimylviMla
Democracy in favor of ' bringing Lixi
tien within the lowest practicable limits,
the reduction of the ferca of public
elllclals te the lowest number consistent
with the requirements of the service, mil
the adoption of every practical means
that will diminish tlie burdens of taxa
tien ;" and " a system of tariff laws
iindei which while revenues for the
government is provided Amciic.ui pu
ducers nie justly protected, American
lab r elevated and home mirkets arc
secured te home products, for the
advantage alike of the ptndiuer aud
