THE filling up of the noxious and
unsightly creeks , -which disgrace the
northern and southern portion of
our city , will be one of the blessings
attending sewerage.
THE new building law passed by the
city council'Sl'DenvcrT'andpublished
last week in'the Denver Tribune , is
respectfully commended to the atten

AucHBlsnor CHOKE thinks the Land
Bill uoesn't go far enough , the Tories
think it goes too far and Parnell
thinks it is lop-sided in every direc

Lords declare they won't assent to its
passage in any form. The govern
ment evidently wish that landlords
and tenants were at the bottom of the
sea.
THEHK is a good deal more truth
than poetry in the caustic letter of "a

high prices , public safety and wretched

A BOGUS
From an Open Letter of .Hon. James T. Wilson to

* * * The Constitution oftlie !
States confers on Congressthe "jiower
to regulate commerce among the sev
eral States-'v This express power car
ries with it all incidental powers neces
sary and proper to its effective ex
ercise. Transportation by rail or
other means from one State to
another is commerce among the
States , and is subject to regulation by
Congress. This power is so compre
hensive and exclusive that i.neith9rr
special charters "by States nor private
contracts by individuals can iirterfere
with its exercise. It extends to every
phase of the transportation question ,
even to tlie enforcement of reasonable
rates ortolk. " Phave never doubted

'exercise. , .

Jt may exercise any'power not prohib

determined definitely that the General
Assembly of Iowa liafl tlie conlitntSonr

which extended to the regulation of

THE NEW RAILROAD UAW.
Tlie following is a copy of the no *
railroad law of Nebraska , which goc
into effect June 1st :
Be it enacted b\ the Legislature of the State o
Nebraska :
. SECTION 1. Every railroad corpora
tion shall .give all persons reasonabl
and equal terms , facilities and accon
mddations for thei transportation o
any merchandise or other property o
every kind and description upon an
railroad owned or operated by sue
corporation within this state , an <
for terminal handling , the use of th
depot and other buildings and ground
of such corporation , and air any poin
where its railroad shall connect wit
any other railroad reasonable am
equal terms and facilities of inter
change , and shall promptly forwan
merchandise consigned or directed t
be sent over another road , accordin
to the directions contained thereon o
accompanying the same.
SEC. 2. No railroad company ii
the state shall hereafter charge , col
lect or receive for the transportation
of any merchandise or other propert ;
upon the railroad owned or operatec
by such company within this state , a
higher rate than was charged by sue !
company for the same or like service
on the first day of November , A. D
1880 , as shown by the published rate ,
of auch company. And no railroat
company shall demand , charge , collec
or receive for sucft transportation fo :
special'distinces a greater sum than i
demands , charges , collects or receives
for a'greater distance.
SEC. 3. No railroad-company withii
tliis state sha.ll grantor allow to any per
son , company or association upon the
transportation of freight either direct
ly or indirectly , any secret rates , re
bate , drawback'unreasonable , allow
ance for the use of cars , or any undue
advantage whatever ) nor directly to

in the receiving , storing and delivering
of freights.

pany , who violates ony of the provi
sions of this act , in addition to liabili

The Battle at Albany.
Philadelphia Press.
Tlie New York senators resigncc
with the expectation of an immediate
re-election. It may bo that no serious
opposition will be made to this prearranged
ranged programme , but on the other
liand itis , quite possible that surpris
ing complications may grow out o :
this extraordinary situation. The leg
islature is politically dividedasfollows
Senate. Atscmllif
Republicans 25 81
Democrats 7 47
Tlie whole number of members o ;
both houses is 1GO , and 81 arc requir
ed to elect on joint ballot The re
publicans have 100 , and under ordin-
iry circumstances there would bo no
obstacle to a prompt election. Bui
the republicans re divided between
the friends and the opponents of Mr.
Conkling , and since the struggle be
tween the two factions has become so
intense it may possibly be fought out
to the bitter end. In the Assembly
the adherents of Mr. Conkling largely
outnumber his adversaries. Of the 81
members at least GO are counted as
solidly on his side. In the senate the
case is reversed , and though the
Sgures are not so clearly defined the
majority of the republicans are againsl
Mr. Conkling.
If all the Republicans i should enter
; he caucus and accept its dctermina-
; ion , the result would be the unchal-
enged return of the two Senators.
But if the administration members oi
; he legislature should decline to par-
icipatc and refuse to vote for Messrs.
Sonkling and Platt , as it is announced
hey may do , tliis will put an entir61y
different face' npon affairs. In that
case the friends of the resigned Sena-
; ors would be compelled to struggle
'or 81 votes. If the strength they
Kin command in the assembly does
not jxcecd 00 , they would be forceVl
o rely on 21 out of 25 Senators , and
0 secure a proportion would be impos
sible. They would have more hope
of gaining a larger number of assem
bly men and requiring less in the
senate.
There was no exact test in the Sena-
rial election of January , because sev
eral of the Administration Senators
voted directly fo'r Mr. Tlatt on the
irst ballot and gave him his majority ,
f the Administration men now unit
edly determine upon independent ac-
ion , the Legislature will be divided
> etween three camps the Conkling
camp , the Administration camp and
he Democratic camp .ind if the
riends of Mr. Conkling fail to secure
1 yotes there would be a prolongued
lead-lock. The outcome of such a
ituation could not be foretold. It
would ' afford large opportunities
Eor' trading , both between the
opposite parties and the oppo-
ite _ factions of the same party ,
and it might end in a speedy election
or stretch out for a long period. The
dministration republicans and the
[ emocrats would probably seek to de-
eat any choice at the present time ,
ffect an adjournment and carry the
appeal to the people at the election of
next November , "when a full senate
iid assembly are to bo chosen. But
lib supporters of Mr. Conkling in the
issembly could probably master
no'ugh votes in that body to defeat
tie concurrence of-that house in ad-
