Two decisions uxro handed down by the supreme court of the tTnltcd States lint Monday which are of unusual im portance because tlio first that have como from that tribunal relating to the authority nnd powers of n state railway commission to peremptorily llx rates. The cases upon which thcso decisions , practically allko , were rendered , wore from Minnesota , and were designated as the "switching' ' and "milk rate" cases. In the former the ICnstorn Min nesota railroad refused to com ply with the order of the railway commission to reduce its charge for switching can in Minneapolis * and in the latter the Chicago , Milwaukee ft St. Paul road refused to adopt a tarllT on millc between certain points as pro scribed by the commission. In both cases Iho tale supreme court , ' on appli cation of the commission , granted writs of mandamus to' compel the roads to comply with the orders of the commis sion , whereupon the railroads carried the cases to tno supreme court on writs of error , holding that it was not. competent for the legislature to delegate to the 'jommia- slon a power of fixing rates , and that the establishment of such rates by the state against the will of the company was in cITccta taking of Its property in "violation of the constitution ot the United States. The opinion of the supreme court docs not deny the right of the legisla ture to regul'ato in some fdrm transpor- tiUion charges , but tlio question to be de termined was whether the form adopted in the case under review was valid. The supreme court of Minnesota having authoritatively declared that the intention of tlio legislature was to mane rates recommended and published by Inn commission final ami conclusive as to what are equal and reasonable charges , that the law does not contem plate nor allow any issue to bo made or inquiry to be had as to whothcr the rates ordered by the commission arc reasonable in fact , and that the rates published by the commission are the only ones that are lawful , and therefore in contemplation of law the only onr-s that are equal and reasonable , and tnat tin tier the stat6 construction of the statute there is no power in the courts to restrain the com mission if it choo-.es to establish r.ttos that are unequal and unreasonable , the opinion holds tliat the law conflicts with the constitution of tnc United Stales in depriung the railway company of its right to u judicial investigation by duo process of law. The opinion holds that the railway commission cannot b3 regarded as clothed with judicial functions in pos sessing the machinery of a court of jus tice , and that tiio question of the rea sonableness * of the rate of charge for transportation , involving as it docs the element of reasonableness both as regards - gards the comp my and as regard- , the public , is eminently a question for judicial invcstisralion requiring duo process of law for ils determination. Justices llr.idlcy , Cray and Lamar dis sented from the opinion of Clio court , holding that the adjustment of r".toH vyis a legislative pre rogative and not. a judicial ope , and Justice Miller , in stating the general principles to govern in cases similar to these , said that wlioro the rates are lixed either by legislature or by a commission , the aggrieved parties have a right to appeal to the courts , and until the judiciary has decided the question the rates HO fixed must bo taken as the law ot the land. Ilo did not agree with t > ho court that it was necessary thai common carriers should bo given notice before rates in which they were interested were lixcd so , bill when the question of the justice of these rates was taken before the courts it was necessary thai the rail roads should have a right to ho heard. It is quite proiKiblo that the olToct of this , opinion will bo to lead the states which have railway commissions to do away with thorn , leaving with the log- ifilaturcH the duty of Using rates. The railroads would still ha\c the right to go to the courts , but it is po- > - aibl'j they would bo less likely to do so whoa rates worn established by a legislature than when tlxod by a com mission. At any rate , u certain oiled of this opinion will bo a mate-rial modi fication ol the Muniosota law , while railway commissions go n orally will HOO the necessity of a , conservative course in ( King transportation charges , Keep ing in view the fact that tholr action is subject to judicial investigation. . -I viti Following close upon the adoption by the foreign all airs committee of the hoif-e of representatives of Iho resolu tion looking toward negotiations for closer trade arrangements with Canada comes the announcamont of a motion in Iho Ontario legislature expressing the opinion that closer relations should exist between the United States and the dominion of I'nnada , and petition ing the dominion legislature to lake such stops as may bo o.xpodionl to bring about unrestricted reciprocity between the countries. The fair infer ence from this would scorn to Do that instead of the proposed changes in our turilT , which would unfavorably alTcot the agricultural Intorostj of Cana la , causing a fooling of unfriendliness and resentment there , the ctToct ban been to bllmulato the desire for moro liberal commercial relations. The Canadian farmers could hardly fail to vlow with some alarm the prospect of having tliolr mar.kot in this country maturlally reduced , by the iinpbaitum of higher duties on the products they now bond hoi-1) In coni > ldi.-rablo quantities , and it will not bo surprising if they are soon found to bo very nearly unanimous in favor of reciprocity. The llrst sug gestion that followed the announcement of an increase in the American tariff on fni'in products was that the Canadian producers would seek a Kuroponn mar ket for their surplus , but a llttlo rolloc- tlon would convince them that they could not reasonably hope for results as satisfactory as they got from trading in the United States. They got as good prices as our own farmers for their products ar.d pay a great deal loss for the manufactured goods they buy of the United State * . There are the strongest practical reasons why the agricultural producers of Canada should favor reciprocity. The most curoful observers of the trend of public opinion In Canada do not doubt that a change mast como before fore long lu the rotations between that country and the United States. A cor respondent of an eastern p.ipor , writing recently from Ottawa , says that statesmen whoso minds are not warped with thai sentiment of loyalty which has forever boon the euro of Canada's advance ment , believe nn alliance with Iho United States to bo the most feasible solution of Iho question of placing the dominion upon a less doubtful and moro substantial foundation than the tllmsy fabric by which she is now hold to and maintains her connection with the mother country. The number of slatos- mon who believe this is as yet not very largo , but with the i'npjrial fed eration scheme disposed of as visionary and iniDractieaule , the Canadian people must soon or late determine whether they will have nu- tional indepoti'lenuo or onlor inlo po litical relations with tlio United St.ilos , nnd the conditions certainly soeitl most favorable to a majority of them prefer ring the latter as the s.iter course. This. however , is a possibility only of the re mote future. It must bo procciioa by a prolonged exparlmont with a more lib eral commercial arrangement , between the two countries , and there are indi cations that the attainment of this tiny not bo far otf , if our own people really desire it. 5 vor , Mr By one brief but expressive sweep of his mouth , Farmer Church Howe of the Missouri Pacific brushes away whatever doubt existed as to the jtiatiuu and ne cessity of the Farmers' alliance. The notorious Nonmhti county farmer not only endorses the aims of the organi/.od producers , hut declares ho iswiththom "heart and soul , " The cause of Iho al liance lie has made his own , because every move made by this ' -noble organ ization" was an aid to him as a farmer. The people ot Nebraska , espec ially Iho farmers , are so thoroughly acquainted with the loftv motives and the rich and varied veuacity of Farmer IIowo that they will at nnc.o rccogni/.o in his benediction of the alli ance movement that consistent cunning which marks his checkered career. It is indeed a matter of regret to the railroads that lie is not a member of the organisation. His esncticnce as master of the state grange some years ago , and the sleepless /eal he displayed in digging its grave , gave him immediate prominence as an agriculturist and trebled his value as a political farmer. It was this profitable experience that enabled him to make an imposing appearance at tlio head of a brass band in Heatrico in ISS'i. Al though the countless fricnus of the dis tinguished farmer then attempted to tear him away from his peaceful retreat and compo. him 1,0 sacrifice his time and tastes for the country's good. t'ic ' people graciously granted his request and kepi him u' , homo. The uiiimico is to bo congratulated on receiving the endorsement of the vet eran Farm Howe. Tnat he is sincere in his approval , thoj'j uiuiuqtiaintod with his Ciirucr will not deny. The fact that ho cultivates railroads on the side is not conclusive evidence of insincerity. On the contrary , it throws a volume of light on his ollorts to diversify farming and secure a profitable crop regardless of seasons and prices. Ilo acts as attor ney for the Missouri Pacific merely to show his farmer friends that t'llcnt and tisatio applied to farming invariably iJKsPrn : the clouds on the business hon/.on. there are encouraging signs of a healthful condition of trade through out the country. Hank clearances , which should bo an index of the volume of business , exceed last year's corresponding spending totals. Hailroad truffle and railroad earnings are larger than they ba\o been for years. The \oluino of trade moving from the great joubiiig centers ia unprccedcntodly largo. Xov- orthcluss , dissatisfaction exists cast as well as west , caused by excessive trans portation rates , The absence of specu lation , turnover , U n hopeful sign that the prcriont condition has not boon the result of inflation , but that within a few months Iho capital now being u.scd in 1 ho development of trade and the ex pansion of commerce will clear the ilutcc ) : iyd of obstructions. Tin : Cherokees are not at all back ward or bashful in informing the Cnor- okco commiPiion upon v. hat terms they will troifl with the government for the cession of the Cherokee strip. Not only is the government to pay a fair cash value for the land taken , but is to aid the Indians in e.speUincr all non- cHi/.ons in Iho nation .as well as to ro- llncjuisii the right to locate friendly In dians on their territory. On such terms it is problematic whether the ne gotiations will proceed with much alac rity , if at all , The Cherokees are far from anxious to dlsposo of the Outlet , especially when they are receiving a vast revenue from the cattle barons for its UbO as pasturage. Tin : house cninmittoo on judiciary in agreeing upon tno Torrey bankruptcy act has followed out the recommenda tion. * of the national board of trade , which includes leading merchants and mnnufactiirors from ililioront sections of the country. The provisions of tlio law are such as to insure uniformity in its application. The debtor is to bo protected without Imposing onerous burdens upon the ot editor. Its spirit in that of equity , ft passed the Torroy bankruptcy act will bring order out of the confusion arising from conflicting laws of the states and will bo rncoiyod \\ith satisfaction by the commercial world. A nr.fisioN of interest to old soldiers has boon rendered by Secretary Nublo touching the question of usjignublllty of the right to make a Boldlor'n addi tional homestead ontry. The secretary of the interior has concluded that a vet eran has no such authority to uao the privtlegu granted to him alone in bar- tar , sale or assljf nmont. This is good law. There sJIttlo question that In many instances the privilege has been abused , amlMand which uudor the amended homVi/toaJ / act was Intended by congress tb'bo sot aside for the gooil ol the old solders has passed Into hands not entitled \pUio Lonollt. Act'OltoiXd to the figures presented to the couiiyiU the south slders hivvo not been IIB ' 'badly noglcctod as they Imagined. 'Last year the First and Second uar'dif'receivod more grading money than 'auV two wards in the city , nnd more thii'n ' Uio Fourth , Fifth. Sixth and r'lghth wards combined. Three years ago something like forty thous and dollars was expended in opening and grading Klovcuth street , which ab sorbed the greater part of the grading surplus for two years. The moans available for this year's work should bo used whore it will do the greatest good for the greatest number , regardless of sectional demands. Tin : annual statement of earnings of the American ISoll telephone company , with headquarters at Boston , is not of a character to alarm the country that the USD of the hello instrument is on the decline , or that the monopoly is in danger of a financial stricture.

"Hut before I forget It let mo tell you that the prohibitionists nro going to cut no small llgnro in the next campaign , ami the sooner the people rcalUo that fiu t up hero the better It will bo for thorn. The politicians hero , while they may imagine that they nro pretty well posted as to thu status ol affairs , really do not dream of the temper of the people out in that .vcstoi'tr " country. My own opinion Is that the golden opportunity for the democracy Is drawing on npaco , and it is ono of the possibilities , owing to the Farmers' alliance agitation and the prohibition spasm , that they will elect their governor. Of course , I do not say they will , but they might. At any rate it Is a dead certainty that wo will Imvo a strong ticiiet In the Hold , nnd trom what I can gather the head of it will bo J.

He is a line fellow , enter- prisinc and a thoroughbred While the prohibition cohorts will liltolv bo defeated this spring , they will almostsnrolv carry the city of Kearney ; that is , if the democrats don't forgo to the fore.
