THERE ire two fundamental ques-

railroad issue. The first , whether the
state possesses the right to regulate
common carriers for the public good ,
and the second , whether such regula-

olies are bold enough to day to qnes
tlon the power of the people to pass
lawa upon the subject of railway
discrimtnitisn and extortion.
The decision of the highest tribunal

- The only.question ; then , which ad-
mlta of auy deba\o'wbatsoever is'thal
of the nothod of applying the coneti
tutlonal provision to the railway cor
poratlons in Nebraska. , _ Are the roads
charging extortionate ratoa ? Are die
criminations practised upon our pro

of self aggrandisement pursued by th
railroad managers in Nebratka contra
ry to the best interests of the publi
at large ? IB the system of rebates ant

monopolies within their corporate ex
istence -conducted in" connection
with the companies , whose operation
tends to concentrate the business o ;
; the state and place 'it under the con
trol cf common carriore ! These are
a few of flifTqiiastlcmi which must be
answered by an emphatic negative
before the imperative necessity ol
laws governing and regulating the
railroads can be denied by tbe cor
poration mamgera. That the people
, of , Nebraska were. convinced that fla
grant abuses existed in the railroac
managements of this state is mani
fest fram the provision which they in
corporated into the -constitution o :
1870 , commanding the legislature
to deal with the railroad question anc
ordering it I to pass laws againt'
discrimination and extortions. Thejast
ten year * have brought no cessation
of the charges made by thejiroducers
o ! this" state agalnsf the * railroad man-
agora. Protests nnd-memorials.have
poured , Jnto the legislaturesfiom
vorr portion of-th atate reciting
long Hat of enormities practiced upon
Nebraska producers by the monopo
Jiea. These chargesjiaye beenjBacii
openly and have been confined to no
one line. At no time have they been
more numerous than during the pas
year until at the present time tha'de
mand for legislative relief has
taken the form of a general up-rising
of the people , and an almost unani
mous demand for the redress of their
grievances The very unanimity ol
this movement is proof enough of the
truth , of the charges against the rail
roads , and ita force cannot be broken
down by the simple , denials of the
-monopoly managers , however plaus
ible. Thia being the case , no argu
ment can be .udducsd strong enough
to weigh against auch.a mass ot proofs
Tne imperative command of our consti
tution u enforced by I ho united demand -
mand aPNebrasfca'g toilers and wealth-
producers. The duty of U *
legislature admits of no question.
Laws' ' should and must at ouce be
paBBed prohibiting discrimination and
extortion on the part of the corporate
monopoliei within our state. If this
legislature fails in ita duty another
be found which will go to still
further extremes and carry out to the
very loiter , the nundateof the consti
tution.

Dealing With Great Corporations.
New York Times
Tuo events of the jiast week have
BcrvidF.to impress upon the public
mind ! lso great power of corporations
hcldinc franchise * from the stale anc
the utter inadequacy cf exlstins laws
f jr the protection of the rights anc
interests of the people The supreme
court and the attorney-general cf the
state hare plainly intimated that the
consolidation of the HVA ! telegraph
companies , and the establishment o :
a monopoly In a business upon which
the.people are.almost as dependrnt as
upon the operations of the postal de
partment of the government , was op
posed to-the public interest , and thai
.they would gladly find legal gronnc
Tipon which itj could te rot-siaid' : '
"
But"tney were powerless to find a
remedy , because the laws had been
trained'in the interest bf * he corpora
tions rather than that of the public.
Tho. fict ia that legislation b fring
upon the relations of railroad anc
-telegraph companies to the 'people
whs hare t < > deal with them has been
shaped' mainly by the rgenls of the
companies themselves , with n view , to
ncreaing their facilities and enlarg-
ng their powers. They have known
what they wanted , have employed
the beat talent for promoting their
objects , and have been active and
jersiatent under the spur of self-in-
tereat , while the people have failed
lo realize how their rights were liable
: o be encroached upon. The people
lave chosen their representatives in
.egislative bodies with little or no re-
; ard to their action upon measures
Iffectlng the exercise of corporate
ranchiaes , and have left them to act
according to their own discretion ,
while the holders of these franchises
iave been vigilant to secure repre
sents ivts of their- own interests and
; o see that they were faithful to them.
While the great railroad and tolo-
jraph systems of the CDimtty were
jrowing up there was a general and
well-founded conviction in the com
munity of their value and importance
in promoting the development of In
dustrial interests. There was a dis
position to favor them. Not only
were franchises of great value freely
bestowed upon them , but state and
nation lent their credit to them and
Save them subsidies in money and
lands ; towns and counties burdened
themselves with debt to help them
along , and whatever privileges they
desired were allowed on the plea of
public benefit. When they began to
combine and consolidate it was ac
cepted as a movement in favor of
efficiency and economy of manage
ment and service , giving great
through lines and uniformity of
policy. Much that was anticipated as
amitter of public benefit was really
so , but along with the unrestrained op
portunities allowed for growth and ex
pansion came watering of stock , com
binatlons for the throttling of compe
Htion and the development of the gi <
gantic power of railroad and telegraph
magnates , who wore able to tax the
community upon its entire business
almost at will. The tendency to mo
nopoly and cousaquent rapacity was
not foreseen and provided against.
Safeguards that might easily have been
raised for the protection of the public
were neglected until the power to be
restrained aud held under control had
became well-nigh uncontrollable. It
not only had the public at Its mo ray.
but it domln'alfid legislatures , shape c
the character of statutes , and left even
courta'of equity without power to pro
tect the interests of the people.
One of the worst results of past
neglect has been to give the corpora
tions a phuslble plea of prescriptive
right and vested Interest. They have
come to maintain boldly that the
franchises bestowed upon them and
the property acquired under these are
their own , to do with as their officers
and managers may deem best for
their own profit , without regard to
any claim of right on the part of the
public. Fundamental principles ol
right ? re declared to have rte validity
aa regards them , and the authority ol
court ! and legislatures is openly de
rided. This audacious policy has pro
duced timidity among conservative
men and given confidence to the cor
rupt organs and agents of corporate
power to contend that thute is no
ground either of right or expediency
for bringing U under control or rogu
lation. But there are indications thai
the people are waking up to the facl
that they have fostered a po.ver which
threatens to defy them to put it under
restraint. Governments and all their
appliance ) are supposed to be sub
ject to the will of the people and
subservient to their interests , bn
corporations doriviig their being anc
their prlvelegea from a governmental
authority that springs from the people
claim the r'ght ' to conduct their oper
ations without regard to public inter
est , if they choose to do so , and with
out being subjected to legal restraints.
This attitude forebodes a strngule
for the mastery. The authority cf
state and national government , each
in Its sphere , to take action for the
regulation of corporate action so aa
to secure the juat rights of the people
Is beyond question. The expediency
of exorcising it in a judicious man
ner can no longer bo doubted. It
remains for.the people to exert them
selves to make legislatures act in their
behalf by the choice of men who
will represent their interests and by
iiniating on their fidelity to thoao in
terests when chosen. It ( s desirable
for all concerned that the result
should be secured without a fierce
agitation that would bo likely to re-
salt iu extreme measures , but if il
cannot be obtxined without an all-
absorbing struggle for that solo pur
pose , such a straggle , with all its
evil ? , will-ba sure to come.

'Fur ' two minutes it was all hands

got up and schottischod after the little
one , and got in on his ear. The little
fellow forward toed and lifted him
under the chin. Then they had a
grand change for wind , and ladiea in

down. Then the quadrille was lively ,

GAEL'S CAUSTIC NOTE , j
Senator Dawes Severely
Handled by Secretary
Schurz.
An Avalanche of Cutting Sar

Special dispatch to Tbo Bee.
WASHINGTON , February 9. 10 p. m.
Secretary Schurz haa addressed an
opea letter to Senator Dawca in reply
to a speech roEently delivered by that
gentleman in the aenato , fn which he
reflected on the conduct of the inter

[ rom that portion of Senator DaweB
speech in which Tie atated that he had
complained of the wrongs of the Pon-
cas to the bead of the department ,
entreating him to endeavor to redress
thorn. In reply to this Secretary
Schurz says : "I have made inquiry
into this subject and have boon in

American namewith espionage in the
Indian camps "and the blood cl
