Tlffi FinS ? CONPWTIOX.
Less attention than it merits has
> eon given to the Wat , conviction oil
rimlnal indictment under the Intor-
tate commerce not. The case was that
f the United States ( for the Hayward
Grocery company ) ngninst George K.
'o/.lor , ngontof the Missouri Paolflo
ailroad company , and It was tried bo-
ere Judge Thayer , at Hannibal , Mo.
The question was as to whether a dls-
rltmnatlon In the rate charged the
grocery company on a local shipment of
ugar was unjust in comparison to a
oivor pronortlonato rate charged on a
hrough shipment of a similar con-
ignmont of sugar for a much
oiiRor distance. The difference
jotwcon the local rate charged by the
Missouri Pacific and that company's
u'oporUon of the through rate was
wolvo cents , and the court instructed
the jury that If they found this an
undue and unreasonable ullTcronco they
ihould convict , The jur.v found that ,
n tholr judgment , th'o difference was
undue nnd unreasonable , and returned
u verdict of guilty.
Amendments were made to the inter
state commerce act by the last congress
vhich Impose heavy penalties of fine
and Imprisonment , and make thorn
thoroughly effective by summary judi
cial process. The law was thus changed
o ft stringent penal statute , under
which the railroads must obey or face
, ho consequences of criminal prosecu
tion. Before the paasugo of those
amendments the Instructions to freight
agents and other employes were to
obey the law as far as possible , but to
et the business at all hazards. Now
ho instructions are rather to avoid the
danger of prosecution -under the law ,
whatever the effect on the business.
The law will be fairly tcatod under
these changed condititlons , the case in
Missouri being a precedent that will
very likely bo widely followed whore
merchants discover that they are being
discriminated against. The in-
lluonco of this first conviction
in inducing greater care on the part of
railroad ofllomls to avoid infractions of
the law must also bo wholesome. The
fact that the law was in operation for
moro than two years without an attempt
ImviiiGf been made to onforoo its penal
provisions tended to create an impres
sion that those provisions would remain
inoperative. This fooling will now bo
given up , and railroad officials conclude
that they are not to bo allowed to enjoy
special immunity from punishment
when they deliberately violate the law.
When they shall have fully realized this
the operation of the intor-stato com
merce act will become much
moro effective. Meanwhile it is under
stood that the commission ors have
promised to co-opornto with the prose
cuting officers of the government in enforcing -
forcing the penal sections of the law ,
and the country will probably not have
long to wait for a thorough test of the
constitutionality of the law stnd the
meaning and validlcy of its disputed
provisions.
TO THE UNION PACIFIC.
The enormous number of passengers
handled promptly and safely by the
bridge motor trains yesterday is strong
proof of the benefits of cheap and con
venient transit between Omaha and
Council Bluffs. It is a striking' illustra
tion of the good results of the liberal
policy adopted by the bridge company.
Low tolls mean increased patronage and
greater profits. This has been proven
so often that it has become a fixed prin
ciple in railway management. The
construction and operation of the
wagon bridge and motor line have revo
lutionized the business and social rela
tions of the people of the twin cities.
The Union Pacific , heedless of all
complaints and protests , kept the two
cities apart for years by a stand-and-do-
liver policy. Instead of encouraging
commercial freedom between the two
states , it places an embargo on trallio
and forces it to seek other markets
where tribute is not levied at the thres
hold.
This system of commercial piracy can
not last. The company must encourage
business by a generous reduction.of
tolls , or it will soon sutler a reduction
of traffic. What the wagon bridge ac
complished for local trade , another rail
road bridge will accomplish for general
traffic.
A MONOPOLY DEFEAT.
A case possessing general interest ,
because it resulted in the defeat of the
greatest monopoly in the country , was
recently decided by Judge Jackson , in
the United States court at Nashville.
The Standard Oil company supplies
natural gas to Toledo at an agreed price
of twelve and a half cents par one thou
sand cubio foot , but it virtually charges
what it pleases. The people of Toledo
became convinced that they were pay
ing excessive raten , nnd they obtained
from the legislature an act authorizing
the city to issue bonds for borrowing
money to construct-pipo lines to connect
the city with natural gas welln.
The preliminary stops to this arrange
ment were vigorously fought by the
Standard company , nnd finally it up-
plied to the United States circuit court
for an order restraining the city of
Toledo from issuing bonds , The com
pany did not bring its suit in Ohio , but
wont all the way to Nashville. Its de
feat , however , was quite as complete as
it could possibly have sullcrcd in Ohio ,
the judge promptly refusing' to grunt
the order asked for. The result will bo
the absolute independence of Toledo ,
but more than this it will nhow the
other communities being supplied with
natural gas by the Standard the exac
tions to which they are subjected by the
monopoly. The success of Toledo will
very likely load the people of other
places to demand moro favorable terms
of the Standard or they will sock relief
in the way Toledo has done. The won
der is I hat the shrewd attorneys of the
Standard did not see thla as the possi
ble oAtcomo of nn exposure of the mo
nopoly's methods. "In itself the To
ledo ontorprlso , " remarks the Clnoln
natl Gmnmfrciul-Gazclte , "is not a big
one , but it will prove an object lesson
for the whole country. It will show the
open door through which people may
pass from under the yoke of a most
giguntlo , unscrupulous and odious mo
nopoly. We are only on the verga of a
revolution that -Is as sure to conio as
, hat which followed the throwing ovor-
ward of a lot of tea In Boston harbor ;
Neither the power nor Iho vulgarity of
capital can long rule the people. "
A GOOD F011E1ON jXA3tPLE. .
The wrecking of part of a railroad ex
cursion train in Ireland on Wednesday ,
resulting in the death of a largo number
of children nnd others , led to the
prompt arrest not only of the men in
charge of the train , but also of the
traffic managers and clerks. There was
no waiting for a coroner's jury to Invos-
.Igato nnd report. There had taken
ihtce a torrlblo disaster for which somo-
xxly was responsible , and the way to fix
, ho responsibility was to take into cus-
, ody all who could have anything
whatever to do with the direction
or control of the ill-fated train.
Of course all who were nrrostcd will
not bo punished. Undoubtedly most of
ihom had nothing to do with directing
.ho train. But they have boon tukon
care of in a way that will enable the
authorities to got at the bottom facts
ind to spoudlly know whoao stupidity or
carelessness is chargonblo with the very
bad calamity.
Thooxamplo is worthy of general iml-
tntion. The great majority of railroad
accldontsaroduo to gross curolcssnoss or
inexcusable plundering , and very often
it is the higher ofllclals who are most to
blame. But those are never hold to
nn accountability , at least in
this country. There have boon
Instances of the arrest of en
gineers and conductors , bu none where
the men high in authority have been
required to show why they should not
bo held to somr > roapanslbllity for avoid
able disasters. The Irish majrlsstrato
proceeded wisely ami justly. IIo does
not expect to convict everybody whom
ho summoned before him , ibut the par-
tics who deserve conviction will bo
moro easily and surely reached than
would parlni | > 3 bo the case it ho hud
simply placed , the trainmen in custody ,
who , iw the circumstances seem to
show , are not wholly responsible for
the disaster.
THE republican governor of Connec
ticut , having followed the example of
the democratic governor of Now York
In vetoing a ballot , reform bill con
structed after the Australian raothotl ,
ho has boon sharply criticized by re
publican journals and as warmly com
mended by democratic organs. Thus
the Now York Sun refers to him as "a
true statesman , " whllo it characterizes
the members of the legislature who
voted to pass the bill ovor'tho veto as a
"venomous crowd , " 'J'ho , motives of the
two governors were unquestionably
widely different , nnd Governor Bulk-
cloy , of Connecticut , must , in fairness ,
bo credited with having acted
from a conscientious convic
tion that the proposed
law was unwise and would do far moro
harm than pood. His reasons for veto
ing it are forceful , and it does not
necessarily detract from them because
in some roapocts they are similar to
reasons given by 'Go'vcrnor Hill for his
veto of the Saxton bill. The truth is ,
as Tin : BEI : long ago said , the mania
that spread ever the country for the
Australian method of voting had very
little sound judgment in it. It con&ld-
ored very little , if at all , the difficulties
in the way of adjusting that method to
our political system , being content with
the assumption tluit because it had
worked well in the land of its origin it
must necessarily do ao here. It is not
questioned that the method has good
features , but as a whplo wo greatly
doubt whether it could be-succossfully
applied hero. Everybody-agrees that
there is need of reform * p 'our election
methods , but a great muny. thoughtful
people do not believe it necessary to
'
import a system framed to'moot politi
cal conditions different from" those
which prevail hero. '
THE city ordinance roquirinjr the
street car companies to pay in udvanco
for pavement taken up is needlessly
burdensome and unjus t. The companies
are entitled to equal treatment with
property owners on ubuting streets. If
pavement has boon in use qno-or moro
years before tracks are laid on the
street , it is manifestly unfair t'o charge
the original cost. A moro equitable
way is to charge n pro rnta of the cost ,
basing the lifo of the pavement at ton
years nnd deducting ono-tunth for each
year's wear before the street is occupied
by the railway. Payment can bo ex
acted from the companies in annual in
stalments. But they can not hope to
escape their share of the cost' . Under
the old law they evaded paying the cost
of * pavingby waiting till the street had
boon paved a year , thus throwing the
entire hurdon on the property owners.
The charter explicitly provides "that
they shall pay for paving between their
tracks , and the city council should not
bo swerved by throats from carrying
out the intent and purpose of the law.
Corporations nro entitled to equal treat
ment with individuals , but favoritism
should not bo tolerated.
TKADK journals nro pointing out the
fact that while the construction of rail
roads for last year was only about one-
half as much as In 1837 , nevertheless
moro iron was used in 1888 than in the
year previous. This is accounted for
on the ground that iron has come into
general use , especially lu the building
trades , whore vast quantities are con
sumed. It would , moreover , indicate
thuttho demands of the railroads no
longer control the iron market , nnd that
the price of that commodity is regu
lated through other channels.

ing of the board of regents , which concluded
to-day , it was doomed boat to maUo no call to

that the unlvoralty appropriation wns too
BUI all to warrant the nttoinpt to secure the

"unlessn man thoroughly lilted lor the

The case of Joseph Burns vs the City of

the issue hinges upon the quos- .
tlon : Old Burns Julllll his part of the con

could not be held responsible for the water

the wells were only conditionally accepted ,
nnd that the money claimed had not been
paid to the plaintilt because the terms of the

tractor not ! The case will hardly bo sub
mitted to-night , nnd if it is the chances uro
strong tli at , the jury will have as touijli u
