Tlio elaborate arguments of Chairman
Walker of the Interstate commerce rall-
wny association , and other attorneys of
the railroads , against tlra jurisdiction of
thointorstito commerce commission in
the matter of ordering a reduction of
transportation rates on pr.iln between
the west and the distributing centers of
tlio cnst , failed to carry conviction to
the minds of the commissioners , and
they have decided to older a re-
duetivjn. It appears Hint they wore
unanimous in reaching this doc Ision
and the fact that the distinguished law
yer who IB chairman of the commission ,
and whoso conservative tendencies are
well known , believes the co.nmlbsionhas
juilsdlction will have great weight with
publioopinlon. JudgoCooloy would not
assent to nn action of thii kind , obvi
ously of tlio very greatest importance as
affecting the interests both of the public
and the r.iilroidwithout ) the fullest
conviction thai it is authorized by tlio
Uuv and justified by the circumstances.
With regard to the latter no fair-
minded .mm funllhir with the situation
enn entertain a doubt. The report of
the commission inido to the tscnatu last
month most clearly and conclusively
demonstrated that existing rate * to Chicago
cage from the Missouri rbur and points
in Nebraska and ICnnsas west of the
river are uxccssito. The figured anil
arguments since picsonted by tlio
rallroids have not In the
lo.ist wcakoned the conclusions of
the commission reached after a most
cireful and exhaustive Investigation.
1'ho ' circumstances , therefore , fully
justify a reduction of rates. But with
iv < jard to jurisdiction the decision of
tlio comnilbsion nay not boflml. It un
doubtedly will not bo so regarded by tjio
railroads , They will resist the order
and vlll make as Ugorous and prolonged
alight as possible against the authority
of the commission. The iluleimini-
tlon to do * this is clearly sliovn
in the position they havd id-
ready taken in denying that the com-
misbion has jurisdiction. In the elabor
ate protest submitted by Chairman
Walker it was declared that the pio-
pacJ reduction of rates would take from
the railroad compmie ! ) , without hearing
or tiial , a greater hum of money than
has been awarded by any court In any
monetary judgment sineo the world
began , and ho suggested that such
a piocecdiiig would bo regarded as
In cITect taking prhato property
for public usewithout coin-
pcjnsition. This is tlio ground , un
doubtedly , upon which tlio railroads
\villcoiitest \ the order of the commis
sion.
sion.A
A prolonged controversy in thocouits
is consequently probable , the conclusion
of which will detui-miiie whether the
Interstate commerce commission has tlio
authority to order a icductlon of rales
whiih It flnds to bo excessive , or
whether , as Chairman Walker contended
for the railroads , its functions are
anomalous and uncertain , though for
the most part purely administrative. It
is time the status of the commission wcro
Bottled , and this Issue regarding its juris
diction will very likely have that result.
If it shall bo determined that the func
tions of the commission are merely ad
ministrative , that it is in fict nothing
moio'than nn advisory board , as the rail
roads in otfoct claim , there will bo an
urgent popular demand for the enlarge
ment of its jurisdiction and powcis which
congress will not fall to heed.
TI1ESEAJ , CONTROVKltSY.
The far reaching wisdom of William
II. Seward in acquiring Alaska at a
price which Las already been several
times repaid , the country has
been repeatedly congratulated on ,
and no other event In the career of the
distinguished statesman has contributed
more largely to swell his fame. But it
is quite possible that the few millions
paid toRu slaar but a small part of
what Alaska will ultimately cost this
country. Tlio question of our rights
and juiisdiction in the waters that wash
the shores of that Inhospitable territory ,
and over the creatures that abound in
those miters , is not only still in contro
versy , but presents a more complicated
and threatening aspect than perhaps at
any time since It was raised , Doultlo&s
nobody regards the situation as parliou-
huly dangerous , and jot no ono is war-
runto'diii baying there is no danger.
The correspondence on tlio subject of
the Uohring sea controversy called for
by the house of representatives may bo
sent to that body any day , , uhon the
public will bo given official information
as to the status of the dispute and an
opportunity to judge of the cliuiccs of a
settlement. Meanwhile it appears that
MItlnlno not only insists upon the
right of the United States to exclusive
jurisdiction in the enters of Behring
sea , but has put forward the additional
claim that all seals swimming
in its waters , no matter how
winy hundred miles from shore , nro
the property of tills government and its
lessee , the North American commercial
company. It will bo well to await the
olllclal correspondence before giving
Credence to the latter statement , af-
"though there appears little reason to
doubt that It was given out by official
authority , If tno government his in
fact thus enlarged Its claims an addi
tional complication has boon Introduced
into the controversy which renders
it moro sorlous than over be
fore. Wo can hardly expect that
nny maritime nation ulll con
cede a claim of this kind , and yet It ap
pears entirely consistent with the claim
of exclusive jurisdiction. If the waters
nro ours every living thing that swims
In thorn holongs to us , Can wo reason
ably liopo to sustain such ft position if wo
should agree to submit this question to
arbitration , mid If wo decline recount )
to that moans of settlement Is It not
highly probable that we should have to
fight to maintain ourcla'.m ? It is obvi
ous , therefore , that this controversy Is
not wholly free from danger.
There Is reason to believe tint the
temper of the Uritlsh government re
garding tills matter Is not altogether
amiable. Canada is undoubtedly very
much In earnest In demanding the Inter
vention of the imperial government for
the protection against soUuro of Cana
dian seniors in Bohrlng sea , and all the
Indications are that the imperial gov-
oruiuout Is well disposed to respond to
the demand. All advices are to the
effect that Lord Salisbury favors an
aggressive policy , tilid Inlow of the
feeling which our proposed tariff policy
has aiousod in England ho would prob
ably bo sustained by ptibHo sentiment.
The correspondence to bo sonl ( o con
gress may show this matter In acat \
threatening aspect than now appears ,
but the possibility of oxiltinif events
growing out of this controversy Is not to
bo denied , and such events may not bo
remote.

When iimin presents himsollas acan-

convention , however , the candidate's

eighty-four dollars par year but the num
ber of hydrants has boon increased liom.
two hundred to eleven hundred and the
water tax has reached dimensions that

of additional hjdrants.
The company now proposes to put in
four hundred additional hydrants sit a
yearly rental that will not exceed the
amount now paid for the eleven hundred
hjdrants , providing the city will extend
the franchise twelve years.
This proposition should "bo considered
purely from a business standpoint. The
question is , will four hundred additional
hjdrants offset the reduction that wo
shall Inevitably got , not only for the city
but for private consumers , by the lime
the present charter expires ,
This is a proposition of such grave
moment to all classes of our citions that
no hasty notion would be justified. In
any event no ordinance granting such
nn extension should bo enacted without
submitting the proposition to the voters
of Omaha for latilication.

this btirem flguies are made to do

of truth. A. recent publication pretends
to gho the number of depositors in the

the conclusion is drawn that the nine
leading nunufacturingstatcs of thooast ,
having throe-fifths of the depositors , are
prospering under piotectlon. at the
expense of tlio remaining thirty-five
states. Eight western states are named
in tlio list as linving no depositors.
Among the number is Nebraska , a fact
which shows the table tobo apolitical
document manufactured for effect. The
number of savings baulcs in the state is
not nt himd , but one fact is sufllclont
to prove the falsity of the democratic
cITu&ion. In Omaha alonothoro aie ten
savings banks , with deposits aggregat
ing two and a quaitor millions. In
Colorado , Kansas , Montana and "Wash

Llko moat impnctical refortuors , who are
ever prone to bolster up their unreliable the
ories -with untrustworthy llyuros , the prohi
bitionists show ndispoiltiouto plaooan undue
rollauco on oiie-sidod statistics. Thus the
New York "Voice , the organ of the prohlbitlpu
party , In a recent Issue publishes a great
array of flguros to show that in Iowa and
Kansas the present consumption of boor has
greatly decreased from what it was In those
states ten years ao. This decrease isclalmod ,
nodouotwlth perfect aocuiacy , to bodircctly
due to prohibition.
But this-chltn , well cstabltslioil though it
may be , fails so furnish a satl.sfucLoryausivcr

That , In tbo several prohibition states , thla

by abundant testimony. A few months ago a
