The article comments on recent political issues in the U.S. It has been alleged that the party in power, under pretence of looking after the interests of the African Americans, had become mainly an instrument of private pelf; and that the surest avenue of success lay through some unguarded approach to the public treasury. For the most part, evils were acknowledged to exist serious enough to engage the most earnest attention, and as an offset and general answer to the cry of "Reform" there was raised the opposing cry of "Reform" within the party. The Anti-Discrimination Bill is now before the U.S. Senate. The fact that a measure of this description has been able to make its way through the Lower House of Congress is indicative of a tendency which may effect radical changes in the relations of American railways to each other and to the community.
