The state board of transportation made Its order lnet Katurdny requiring the Nebraeka railroads to reetore the car load rates on livt stock as they ex ited prior to Aiiguat 10,1807. The roads are given until December Mb, to put the old rates into fores. The secretaries of the board found after a thorough examination that the new rates were a subetuntial Incremw over the old car load rates, they also found that one hundred pound rato were more systematic and equitable than car load rates, but as it would take con slderable time to frame a one hundred pound rite sheet that would correspond to the old car load rates they recom mended that an immediate order be issued to rectors rata at what they were before the change by the railroad coin panics. It is not known at this writing whether the companies will obey ths order, though it is hinted that some of them at least will. Credit is due the stats board of trans portation for their action in this case, W hope it is only the beginning of thorough and vigorous reformation of rollroad rates by the board. As it now stands ths stock shlpfiers of the stats have paid thousands of dollars in unjust additional freight charge in the lust four months. The railroad manager have all ths time been asserting that ths nsw rates wore no higher than the old rates when every shipper knew better, Ths railway attorneys vigorously insist ed after complaint was made that there never had been uny intention of "raising the rates" but simply to fix rate per ons hundred pounds so that each shipper would have ths same price to pay for sending a pound of meat to market. In the fact of (.bene professions equity would require that every dollar of overcharge taken from shipjiers since August 10 should uow be refunded, The board of traiieportution has mnde a good beginning. They have demon strated that they will act in the people's Intercut, Their order In thlseiow reaches, however, merely to the restoration of the old rates which the people of NVbrns- ku have complnlued of for years. The people of the state look to them for early action to secure u reduction of the old rates themselves and we believe they III not be disappointed. TIIK III I, Kit OV I'OMOKKNN. The correspondents at Washington agree that no ons can tell what congress will do until Hpenker Iteed arrive In Washington. The speaker is the lowsr branch of congress, la ths languags of the editor of the Kooky Mountain News, 11 is not wnat ins people want, or what ths House wants, but it Is what Hpeaker Heed decrees." To this baa free representative govern ment fallen thus early in tb second cen tury of the republic, The greatest men ace to free government in this country to-day is the power that custom and precedence has placed in ths bands of the speaker of the House, Mr, Iteed is a man of great ability and force. Hy nature he is a despot and a man of iron will. He is a strong aud aggreive partisan and bis friends as sert that be is using the power he ha assumed In the best interests of the re public. For the argument sake let this be grunted, and let it also be conceded that bs is ths epotlcea and disinterested patriot that he ia pitinUd by his friends. Htill his acta are duugerous and subver eiveoffreerepreecutativegoverumeut.for they becoms precedent which can be used by those who will follow him in the speaker's chair, and who may not bs governed by the same motivesattrlbuted to Mr. Heed by bis friends aud admirers. Herein is ths real danger, and if Mr Iteed does not recognize the fact he Is not the great statesman he is said to m, and it he doe recognise it uud continue to disregard it he is not the patriot that bis pitrtieuns aud supporter say he is.

Ho carefully bos Mr. Meserve conducted ths invest ment of these funds that ths stats has received the greatest revenue known iu Its history, Ths apportionment which Mr. Meserve muds last spring was t'WJ, 220.0,'i and the largest in the history of ths state, The apportionment this month is larger than ths one mads last spring. It will be ,'f77,27ff.0, making a total of f 7'iO,40U.M for 107, ths first year of Mr, Meserrw's administration The total for ths year JHOfJ was 102, 848.42; for 1&0K the total was II, '1 7, ;i.')2,7r,, and for lHO.'i the total wasf 510.

Ths Evening News of this city says: "It Is curious how public opinion Is swayed by sympathy. For months ths public has been clamoring for ths pun ishment of Eugene Moore, but the mo ment he was punished and it was found that the court had inflicted eight years ths great impulse of sympathy for the gnei-smcKon wiis ana iieurt-urokcn culprit welled up, and from many quar. trs cams ths cry that it was too much. It I perhaps the misfortune of Moore that his sentence cams at it time when indignation over official eculation was running high, many who wars equally guilty with him had escaped ounlsbmeut and ths laches of Justice called for greater severity in bis case. J lie court hud evi dently come to the conclusion that affairs had reached such a crisis that an example was imperatively demanded, Moore's case was ths opportunity. Tb previous good character and standing of the prisoner will doubtless iu time work a mitigation of bis sentence, and the public will not then bs inclined to de mana the pound 01 flesh, 'J lis beavv scuteuca imposed upon him, however, is a warning to any who may bs inclined to use public money in private sutsrprlse witu in expectation 01 iieiug ulm to re. turn the sums taken when ths time for turning It over coms, and a deterrent to those who may bo inclined to siecu lata upon whether it Is profitable to ac quire money by serving time for it," When tho time In considered all must admit that ths senbtnc while sevsrs Is not too severe, Ths crime em be, .lenient Is particularly offensive, fn Mr, Moore's cuss it was exceptionally mo. Ho had been credited as being ons of tho most competent and reliable of tho stale offi cers, Ths peoplo had placed their confi dence in him and had elected him to ons of the highest positions of trust within their gift. Ho accepted ths olflec and took 11 solemn oath to properly and faithfully discharge tho duties of ths office, Jiy bis embezzlement he violated his sacred oath and proved faithless to those who had trusted him, Tho salary provided for him by tho stat was ample to meet all reasonable demands, liy merely performing his duties as an oil! cer ho could enjoy all the comfort of life and the respect of au entire stats, Crime committed under such circumstances must bo deliberate and purposely. There Is no reason for sympathy, Ths man who from huuger or privation commits a crime to secure relief from suffering Is deserving of mercy, A crime committed In haste without premeditation some times has mitigating circumstance that deserves mercy by the court. Dut none of these circumstances existed iu Mr, Moore's cuss, Tho only ground for mercy is sympathy for bis family. This exist in almost every ease. Tho Fvsufug News is mistaken when it says that public opinion is on the side of Mr. Moore. The public approve the sentence and have no sytnpaty for Mr, Moore. Their sympathy is for bis family, HARDY'S COLUMN.
