RAILWAY WARS.
(CbnKnued from Firtt Page.)
Think ot the millions spent to prevent it,
yet the Baltimore and Ohio is here. Take
the Bolt Lino controversy. The money
wasted in opposing the Belt Lino was
thrown away. Take the war upon the
Boading terminals tho long, weary, costly
war. In spite of the lavish disbursements
to prevent it, tho Terminal grows into
majestic forms of iron and stone on Markot
street, and tho Pennsylvania is wlsoly fol
lowing with a noblo building, in a spirit of
commendablo business omulatiou.
Philadelphia has as doop an interest in
the falluro of this wretched, despicable
business of "conquest exhaustion" aa she
ever hBd In tho building of tho Pennsylva
nia. Tho Intorost is the same. Tho
Pennsylvania has dono good work. Let
her keep on doing it and all good go with
her. Philadelphia sees that the Heading
has likowiso done good work. Philadelphia
haB In the Uoyal Blue, between Washing
ton and Now York, one of tho beBt trains
in tho country. Sho has a second lino
direct to Buffalo and tho Lakes. Sho has
another system to tho seashoro, as hundreds
of thousands will gratefully acknowledge
in thtso harsh, baking days. She has swift
and special access to tho Lehigh and
Schuylkill valloye, with their assurance of
boautllul homes. Tho Philadolphlan may
go to Hartford, Boston, the Berkshire Hills,
to the rocky coasts of Malno and tho
Oanadas, without that tribute to discomfort
involved in shambling and dragging about
Now York. Tho pilgrim to Chicago,
because of the Beading system, may go by
way of Niagara and return by way of
Wost Virginia and soo tho wonders of tho
wondorland. These are tho results of
business foresight, the outcome of a spirit
of enterprise, tho development of a policy
that would keep pace with tho gigantic
strides of a great city. President Boborts,
in bis address at tho annual meeting of tho
Pennsylvania stockholders, dwelt upon a
prosperity which enabled him to expend in
the state alono a million dollars a week,
No citizen grudged President Boborts i
penny of this. It was assuredly a pros
perity that tho growth of tho Beading has
not disturbed. It Is in tho nature of theso
onterprisos that one should help tho other
that they should develop new wants, new
ndustries, now sources of pleasure and
recreation, now channels of trade. There
is room on tho soa for the Cunard, the
Inman,,the French, Gorman, Italian
jships. Why grudge Philadelphia
another trunk lino? And more especially
why in the interest of those to whom in
vestments aro property in its most sacred
form, indulgo in theso legal wars of "Con-
ouost by Exhaustion." Nothing is con
quered, and exhaustion is in the ond quite
apt to fall upon innocent stockholders
whoso money is wasted in prosecution of
Gummero and other suits liko tho' barron
proceeding which failed at Easton on
Monday.
This war of "Conquest by Exhaustion"
is not merely between two companies, the
ono striving to follow tho World's and
have the other "eaten up by its own
lawyers," but a war upon values. It in
volves an eminent poril. It is easy to fire
prairie, but how hard to govern tho
flatno:? Capital, and especially capital of
tho poor investor, over sensitive, grows
moro so irom day to day. The capitalist
sees Wall street on one side and tho an
archist on the other. Ho knows they moan
to wreck him tho anarchist, because pos
sessed by the spirit of ignoranco and sin
Wall, street because in the ruin of others is
Bwift gain. Ho sees his property assailed
by duross, menaco, misrepresentation, and
competition meant to destroy. Against
theso ho may defend himself. But whero
is his defense, where is the security of his
investment when ho reads that property is
to be deliberately "conquered" by in
numerable and exhausting processes of
law ? To him the asylums of justice are to
become the arsenals of anarchy and dos'
truction. It is surprising that distrust
should sproad; that foreign investors should
be weary of securities of inherent value?
Tho railroad war is a war upon property,
The means proposed by the enemies of the
Beading would, if unchecked by public
opinion, destroy any interest in the land,
Conquest by exhaustion is simply anarchy
under the pretext of equity and law,
Judge Schuyler, of Northampton, has
summarily put an end to the Gummero
experiment. Others remain, and in the
best interests of tho city, of property and
justice, they should bavo as swift and con
dign a fate. Phila. Star.

The Mid Valley company will also bo

PETER'S PENOILINQS.
Pungent Paragraphs on Affairs of Local
Importance.
HE communication in
yesterday's Herald,
signed "Examlnor,"
proved a tickler. Some
smiled, others scowled,
and a few looked pifz
zled after reading tho
letter. The latter class
of pooplo wondered
that such a state of
affairs could exist, but when they becomo
bolter acquainted with tho power behind
the throno of tho prosent borough govern
ment thoy will be able to Bee through it all
without tho aid of glasses. Tbo present
condition of tho borough's affairs ovon
causes a smile to pass over tho weathor
boards of tho shanty that covers tho stono
crusher.
...
The Borough Council will moet this
evening. The meeting should be an inter
esting ono. Tho street committoo and
supervisor will toll how much it costs to
take away tho stones that wore recently
put on tho strcots ; tho fire apparatus com
mittee will tell about tho fire alarm system
that doesn't alarm i and quite a lengthy
discussion is expected on tho alleged ex
orbitant charges of tho Herald for
advertising the special election. Taking
tho progrnmme as a whole, the Herald
subscribers may oxpect somo interesting
reading matter tho next few days.
The Democrats of town need not go into
hysterics over tho movement to divide the
wards. Tho step is taken to give evory
legal votor in tho town a chance for fair
representation at the polls. The Bepubli
cans rannot accede to tho linos for division
drawn by tho Democrats, because thoy aro
drawn on strictly partisan principles ;
consequently the former must intistupon
tho adoption of their proposed lines or, for
somo hope of salvation against Democratic
gluttony, ak that tho original report of the
viowors bo adopted.
What, hoi Who stole tho documents
relating to the proposed division of the
wards? Wo will stake a handful of "pi"
tho thiof was not a Bepublican.

It is certainly a piece of great injustice
that at least three hundred voters of this
town should be deprived, of their right of
franchise at tho next election by reason of
a thief going into the Schuylkill county
court houso and stealing tho documents
that provided for the division of the wards.
Who stole tho papeis? Don't all answer at
A gentleman of Pottsville prominontly
identified with affairs of the county, whilo
talking about the proposed division of the
wards of this town yesterday, said : "All
the work must he done over again. Every
bit of it, because of those papers having
been stolen ahem, I should say mislaid,
lost," or something liko that.
