utter rout and disgrace of their aim-

Boors , who , cntll the opening of the

with contempt by British diplomat sand
British generals , Is cause sufficient
' to create uneasiness ; In the minds flf
British statasmeB , and wrath and- In
dignation In the breaits 6t the Eng

RAILROADS AN1 > PUBLIC INTER
EST.
The apologists for the present sya
tern of railroad management * .never
tire of Informing the people that the
railway interest is the public interest
and thatjdepending as they do upon the
people for their success and dividends ,
the railroads naturally in consulting
their own interests must protect those
"of the public. "This argument Is the
sheerest fallacy. It is based upon the
proposition that the railroad copora-
tlonsllke individuals in private bus- !
neesaro'compelled to bid for trade and
that the competition thus main
tained , " 'forces from the mah' '
agcment a conciliatory pol
icy towards its patrons. Railroads
&febecome indespensible to the
people of this country. Communities
are ballt up or destroyed by the fac
Ultles which they possess or lack for
carrying on an exchange of commodi-
M./- > , Tfaatr exchange is necessarily
thro winnto'the hands of common
carriers who are empowered by law
to act -as the medium through which
such commercial'oxchango is transact
ed. If every common carrier ad-
taltted tito law ofpublic' .interest as
ejnl oftceir.management of the
nation's highways , If competition
JettyeejpaTaliel-lineswaB 'foil ' , fair
and unrestricted , as * it is in
every' , day mercantile life , ii
the producers of the west had the op
tion of 'refusing' to ship their goods
over , a line which was discourteous ,
exactingrand intolerant in its policy ,
and could at the same-time obtain re
dress4 as they 'would under the 'ordi
nary lairs of trade , 'by taking , advan
tage of competition , under these cir
cumstances the paralTcl between the
public's'interest and that of ( he rail
ways yould be.clear. The true sts >
of aflaira Is very different. The
avowed policy ' of the railroads
todayIs - that of an oriental
'tax gatherer. Finding that , prpdnc
tion and commerce" throughout the
country mustjiay th'om toll , the rail
road managers avowedly'profeHS the
principle that ; thejr .charges are based
alone onwhat the public trill stand
without refusing shipment of. .their
goods , and th'ree , of the greatest rail-
road'magnatea o'f" the dayTiavo openly
fionfesYed'that their roads were con-
daetediblely : witfia , view to the inter
ests of tha stockholders , irrespective
of ; , the" needs for jSemands of the
public , which paii them tribute.
In the face of the facts as reported
from every section of , the country
iraversed-by these , gigantic corpora
tlons , It is brazen-facsd impudence
on the part of the railroads.t % jJfetead
a sympathizing interest ia'ihe public
welfare and to announce -that [ their
policy of confiscation and Blunder , is
identical with the best'Interestsof the *
producers of the land. Was it tcTlh ?
interest of the public that millions of
'dollars of water were injected into
'the various railway stocks
upon which the producing and ,
and commercial interests aro.cxpected
to psy dividends ? Is it in the interest
of the public that in our own state the
most flagrant and undeniable discrim
inations ara practiced against localities
and individuals by the railroad morio
polies ? Is it to the public interest that
our politics are corrupted by corpora
tion wealth and our legislatures con
trolled by a corporation Jobby ? Is "it
to the public interest that a barrier is
set at the entrance to our state at
which every consumer and producer
is stopped and compelled to throw up
his hands while his 'pocket Is picked
by the railroad ftlunderert ? Is it
in short , to the . -public interest that
our laws , oar traie and.-our commerce
should be dependent upon .the will
and caprice of a reckless . .gangof
stock jobbers , at-whose hands the , fie.- , ,
anclal interests "of the country have
twice narrowly * escaped : destruction ?
3Yhpn might'and right become iden
tical , wbea.the'-intereats of tKe pock-
eta of the Blundered "and the purses
of ihe plunderers are tha same , then
under the present system the . .public
interest and corporation greed will Tie"-
come identical.

Emilo' Justin. Menler , wHo " cared
not who made the nations' songs so
long as he made tbelr chocolate-
whose death"was"1 announced on Fri-
day/Sras / a'genutnecharacte'r ' , of whom
many' Interesting anecdotes might be
fold ; J In nothing was he more thor
oughly American than in his appre
ciation of I the 'value" and methods of
advertising. The great bale tte red
slabs.of , wooden chocolite spelling out
his name have wearioi the eyes of all
civilized people , but his masterpiece
itt this line -were naturally reserved
for .France. For years it has been at
least Impossible to stir abroad there
without reading "Do melllenr cho
colate eat lo chocolat.J&enierV as
once it was impossible here tftjiet the
oaballstlcTegend , "S. T. 1860X. " off

man said to h'im that he liked his
chocolate tolerably "well , but it bad

horns , arid thenext"dajr every newspaper

paper - an
nounced , "Lo cliocolftt Menler : the
only chocolate that grows white' as it
grows old * " It would be interesting
to know how 'many ' million pounds of
chocolate ] Menler have" since been
bought. , beckusa cf that remarkable
quality.- { Whether Menier's chocolate
does .really grow white 'with age , and
whether other chocolates do not do seas
as well , and whether doing so is or Is
not 'n recommendation , of course no- :
body.evet knaw. ! * Menier 'was more '
than a mere manufacturer ; he'wai ' f or
thought tie was , a stateaman.his lobby-
being direct taxation , or the taxation
of 'acquired property. , One day , he
mounted , the tribune.In . tha assembly
he leaohedAhe eminence of a deputy
after having first been an alderman of
Parw to djsfepd his yiowa. and read
a carefully"prepare'd gpee'ch . There
