The highest, and most obligatory doty oT a sovereisn state or power is to refrain from oppressing or taking advantage of any citizen subject to thai power. j the free passers towards tne rau- roa'I?. Ar.d perhaps tbeC little courtesies might not influence the mo't Patriotic rcen that bate ever lived, but it is doubtful.

When these special privi leges U build roads and haul freights and passengers were jrant(d to the rsilroad corporations fifty years ago, and exempted them from taxation until they paid a dividend. of eijiht per cent, ou the capital invts'ed, v was not coiiternpiaUd , nor even ! bupecld, that these corporations would become the controlling" monej power of the fetatc, and th&t they would i xte.nd their power and icllu enco into every nook ai.U corner of t lie r.tbto" and dictate 'he noinirecs these i liicials pay suilioient to live upon, and then muke it a penai offense to give o: receive a free pass over a railroad. Then the railroad. s would be under obligator s to no one, and no one vtonld be under ol ligation to fie ri ilroad?. This woull enable the railroads to transport every passen ger for a little le?a money. A rail road commission with the proper .over would look into all the?e evil? and many others not alluded to in this i-aj er . and would advise against their continuance. Suite motive nl a s prompts the acts of a Mine man. And so some undi'ilying motive prompts the tender of these freo pa-se?. I leave that motive to the honest j jdgement of the reader. I have been told by -ood authority that sometimes the for ercry important IlK-c wilhiu the J railroads fail to send these free- passes, and that they aro very soon reminded of the matter.

Our father in granting these rpecial priyilegcs to these special corporations thought rot of the possibility, much less the probability, of these organizations combining and controlling the power that makes and executes thej.tvvs of the state. And yet evciy well informed citizen knows that the railroad ' Presidents and their paid attorne3S absolutely cootiollcd the last three legislatures on the subject of a railroad commis sion, and to soffio extent the legisla tures for twenty live years past. Now I am not making war against these railroad kingp. They ere elected by the stock bolder?? to look out for the best and greatest interest of these roade. The? are discharg ing their duly as faithful servants. They are doing what they have con tracted to do; and if they were discharging theii duty in the service of the people as they are in the service of their resent employers, the people would say, "Amen. Well dene good and faithful servants." Now, how shall these wrongs be remedial? Surely not by abusing the railroad authorities, or by break ing down or even crippling thest corporations. They arc as indespeosablc to the prosperity of the state as the farmer, the merchant, the black smith, tin lawyer or the doctor. They sit entitled to mukc money ami control the state as much as tny other class of c'tizeii?, provided they use m corrupting funds or undje influence The maj rity dees not cx;sL wit! the railrn.ni authorities, their attor neys and stock hollers.

I was informed that some trouble arosj between a citizen and the railroad authorities : J ami v is 20. plks and, regardless of the rights of oth ers who had boug'it lots and bii It there teeuise it was near the depot, the railroad authorities moved the depot.

When they do a favor or extend court cy they expect a dozen it return. Vhen they allow a man 1o gather an apple from their orchard t iey expect to father a dozen from his.
