' The Richmond and Danville Ryfttetn is in the hands of men who have the mntul interests of the railroads and the country at heart. Besides, the people are protected by the different State Commissions aud the Govern mental Commissions, and have their remedy should any abuse .travail. Mr. Inman President of the R. & D. System. - .. t . These words upon which we bae this editorial are from a re cently published interview with Mr. Inusan. W read them and re-read them with pleasure. They came as a uew revelation to us; The great President of this great system Of railroads tells the peo- Io that State and Iuter-State Commissions can "remedy any abuse that may "prevail. Here tofore our frieuds, the railroad Presidents, have told us that Rail road Commissions could not reine- edy any abuses" -that they were worse than useless and that the Iuter-State Commission was a genuine fraud and that it had not "remedied auy abuse. Mr. Iuman speaks iu their be half, aud tells the Southern people not to be alarmed about the gi- gautic consolidation of Southern railroads, whereby the Richmoud ami VVest Poiut Terminal railway aud Warehouse Company controls aud runs 7,2 14 miles of rail and watei lines. Mr. Iumau says that it can be easily demonstrated "that by the closer uuity of these railroad systems a better service cau ue reuuereu, expenses tie ".-"- creased, rates cheaicnedt aud the general prosperity of the country better served. Of the trutlr " of Mr. Iuman's observations there can Lie uo doubt. The rates cau be - cheapened, but the questiou that exjuccrns the people of, the South is not whether they can be cheapened by the reason of con solidation. The question that con cerns us is, will the rates be cheap ened! Experience has taught us that consolidations and combina tions of large railroads, as well as other interests, increases the price and the rates to the people. If President luman aud his .company aud all other companies will, out of this gigantic trust, give a way to cheapen the rates for carrying, it will be most gratifying to the people. However, Mr. In man does not preteud to the people that the railroads are so generous that, of their own accord, they will cheap en rates, but he is frank enough and honest enough to tell them that they have the remedy in their own hands, viz: State Commissions and the Inter- State Commission which will effect a "remedy should auy abuse prevail." We have the In ter state commission, ana in a number of instances it has given redress to parties discriminated against by railroads, notably in the Heck and Petree case in Ten nessee where the railroads abso lutely refused, under any condi tion, to haul coal for these parties because some of the owners of the railroads owned coal mines ad joining those of HeDk and Petree, and they wanted to freeze them out from competition. The Inter State Commission ordered the the railroad to carry coal for Heck and Petree at the usual, just, and fair rates. But for the Commis sion they would have had no re dress for their grievance. But while there is an Iuter-State Commission, aud while South Car oliua, Georgia and most other of the States have a State Commis sion, .North Carolina has not yet established a Commission. Two years ago an r.ttempt was made to set;nre the establishment of such a Commission in North Car olina. In the Legislature there were honest and true men who did not believe the right time had come lor tne eetaoiishment oi a railroad Commission. These men secured . the defeat of the bill, because all the Radical members: opposed the bill with honorable exceptions of Hon. H. G. Bwart, W. J. Ellis, and a very few others. At that time the State Chronicle was the ouly newspaper in Ral eisb that called for and advoca ted a railroad Commission. Wheu the tiU establishing it failed we were sick at heart. We felt that a needed legislative enactment had been defeated. Perhaps it was better to postpone the Com missfou until this session better to postpone its creation until the people should elect a Legislature that would be instructed as to theirwishes. ; The time has now come' When the people are ready for the railroad Commission, aud , wheu toeir renresensatives. wei",DJ . wwuiuu.ou tUQ believ e, are ready to establish one. When the attempt was made two " - - ' . . year ago,' the railroads fought its establishment, alleging that it would do the people no good and would prevent the investment , of foreign capital iu railroad build ing. They were wrong then and they are, equally wrong now. Rail road building goes on in States where there are Commissions as rapidly ks where there are none. Capital yill build railroads wher ever it fi$ demonstrated that roads will pay, railroad Commission or no Comipissiou. It will not build roads in other places, Commission or uo Commission. That is all there is in railroad building. . The nejst Legislature will have no more Important task before it than the work of passing a rail road Cdjunu&rioiJi r bilLIilttfraffc a fair, equitable and effective bill will require the best wisdom- and ability in that body. The Chron icle is stire that no drastic provis ion will be inserted iu the bill that will pass. It ought to be a con servative bill. Its object,of coarse, will and must be to protect the in terest of the people, but the in terests of the railroads must not aud will not be forgotten. They are useful to us and the Chronicle wants to see the day when North Carolina will be honeycombed with them. Parties desiring to build railroads must be granted all necessary and just privileges, but it must always be understood that the interests of the whole people are paramount to the good of any company, corporation or railroad.. In this spirit our legis lators ought to (and the Chronicle. knows them well -enough to say that such a spirit will actuate them) come to Raleigh and to the consideration of a railroad Com mission bil'. It is probable that many bills looking to a Commis sion will be in trod need. Wisdom aud care will be used to frame a Wise and efficient bill one that will meet the requirements of the people and not unnecessarily in jure the. railroads. If the Chro nicle had the ear of the men in the State who are mostly interested in railroads, it would counsel them not to be guil ty of the uselessness of opposing a railroad Commission in the next Legislature. No amount of oppo sition or effort on their part can prevent its passage. Their efforts ought all to directed towards giv ing the liberal and broad-minded men who will champion the meas ure all the information at the'r command so that the law that will be passed will do most to help the people, and at the same time will not retard the progress of rail road extension in the State. The North Carolina men men who are at the head of the railroads and the people of the State, in the erson of their representatives, have in view a common object: the the building up of the State. There is no purpose an. wheie to injure the. railroads or to retard them. The people only, demand to know what their common carriers are doing, and, jhen remiss, to com pel a just performance to all par- j ties, and to prevent unjust dis crimination. Railroad owners are human -they are like other men : when they have a monopoly and can gain ad van ta ere "by it, they make the most of it. Sometimes the people suffer on account of their discrimination. It ought to be in the' power of State Commis sioners to prevent any unjust dis crimination in the bounds of the State as it is of the Inter-State Commission to prevent any such discrimination between the States. If the railroad men would accept Mr. Iuman's statement and acqui esce in a Commission, the next Legislature will pass one that will be unobjectionable to any railroad men who only want fairness. If may get one that is injurious to them.; Of one thing we are sure: The next Legislature will establish a railroad Commission. Judge Settle Dies Suddenly. Greensboro, N. C. Dec. 1. Judge Thomas Settle died two minutes after seizure of neuralgia of the heart in Jude Dick's room in the Government building in this city at 12:15 p.m. He had complained the night before, but was on the street. Dur iug the morning, he suffered again with violent pain in the' arm and side, and had a hypodermic injec tion of me.rphine given. Taking a seat in Judge Dick's office, he bent over as if in great pain, then lay on a lounge. At the sugges tion, of Col, Boyd, the injection was'lfg'ainglvenj when suddenly the arm fell to his side, and Dr. Glenn exclaimed he is dying. 4 He expired almost instantly. There was great feeling and excitement upon the street at the news of the death. Thomas Settle was the son of Judge Thomas Settle of the State Superior Court, and who was .one of the old time gentlemen of breed ing and culture of North Carolina. Thos. Settele was born in 'Rock ingham county iu 1833. When 19 years of age he atteuded the famous law school of Judge Pear son of Richmond Hill, Yadkin county. He was a fellow student of Col. John E. Brown of Char lotte. This was in 1852-53. At an early age he entered pol itics. He was elected to the Le gislature soon after being admit ted to the bar. So popular as be was a man, so astute a politician, and so prominent as a leader, that iir 1888, he was elected Speaker of the House of Commons. Just before I the war he was elected Solicitor of the Greensboro District. When the war broke out he entered the Confederate army as Captain. Owing to per sonal differences, it is alleged with the present Governor Scales, he resigned after about a year' ser vice. ; '--x-l- - : From that time he developed a Union tendency, although a sin cere sympathizer with his people. Although a Douglas Democrat be fore the war,it was always thought that this episode gave his thoughts and ideas that trend, that- soon after the close of hostilities, car ried him into the Republican par ty. - In 1886 Mr. Settle was appoint ed on the Supreme Court bench of this State. He held this position until President Grant appointed him Minister to Peru. J udge Set tle presided over the National converition that nominated Gen. Grant for his second term as Pres- ... ideut. In 1876 the Judge was nomina ted for Governor on the Republi can ticket. It was in that year that occurred that memorable joiut canvass between himself and Senator Vance, who was the Dem ocratic nominee for Gevernor. North Carolina has never heard a more powerful joint discussion nor witnessed a more heated campaign than was that. Judge Settle proved himself in that canvas to be a man of great vigor of intel lect, of reat knowledge of State affairs, and of most courtly man ners. It is no disparagement . to Senator Vance,that be found him self in that campaign, matched against a foe man worthy his beat efforts. It was that campaign that settled the fact that North Carolina is a Democratic State, so long as the negro shall be an ele emen t of politics. After this campaign President Grant rewarded his frtend by ap pointing him United States Jndge for the district of Florida. This position the Judge held up to the time of his death. He bad never forsaken Greensboro as his place of permanent abode. He only re mained in Florida during the terms of his court, returning al ways as soon as possible to his beloved Greensboro: where he t- nally passed away so peacefully and so unexpectedly yesterday. In 1860, Judge Settle married Miss Mary Glenn, daughter of Tyre Glenn of Yadkin county, by whom he raised a large family. As far as could be learned last night, there are now living of the Judge's children, Thos, Settle Jr., Solicitor of the Greensboro dis trict j Mrs. Sharpe and Mrs. Dr. Bell and an unmarried daughter, all living in Greensboro, and a son, a cadet at West Point. The Judge was a brother of David Settle, U. S. Marshal for the Western district of North Carolina, of Mrs. O. H. Dockery, aud of" the wife ' of Fi-Go rerhbr Reed. He is the uncle of Mrs. Piatt Walker of Charlotte, who is jnst covalescing from a long and dangerous illness. Mrs. Walker is the daughter of Mrs. O. H. Dockery. The Electoral College.
