A law was passed by tlio legislature in 1SS3 giving the State Hoard of Hallway Commissioners power to llx a schedule of freight rates. At the next session the law was so amended as to give the commission authority to adopt another schedule of rates to bo used in cases where fivieht wns carried on two or more connecting linos. The commis sion decided to make an order prohibiting any company carrying freight conjointly wilii another company { from charging .nore than H ) per cent of the amount that would have been charged had all the hauling been done over its line exclusively. In October , lfcl.ll , commissioners . com menced two actions. om > in their own namu and DUO In the name of the stale of Iowa , against each uf the following roads , to com- | K-1 them to put into effect the SO per cent schedule : Chicago & North western. Chicago , Uock Island * i 1'acillc , Chicago. Milwuuicco & St. Paul , Chicago , Durllni.'ton & Qiiincy , and the Sioux City 1'acillc. The defendant com panies showed a disposition to light , and de murred to the petition. The demurrer has liecn under consideration by Judge Dcomer lorn number of months past , and his de cision was rendered yesterday. In it ho reviewed at considerable length the history of the railway legislation In tlio state , and dwelt especially upon that with rclerenco to the "Joint rates. " "The llrst question , " said ho in substance , "is , has the court the power to issue the order asked for by tlio commis sioners ? The power to llx rates is primarily a legislative fu netion but the legislature had tliu right to appoint a commission and give it either the power of making evidence oy taking testimony as to what would bo Just and reasonable charges , or the full power of making and enforcing orders on the subject. If the latter power lias been conferred upon the commission it would seem to act in a sort of Judicial capacity , and would have the right to take the property of offending roads , under ttic usual legal restrictions. Hut- the law says plainly that the orders of the commission with reference to freight r.itcs arc to bo prima fade evidence In such suits as may lie brought to compel the companies to obey tin1 order. They are not really orders to anybody to do anything ; tlio com- panUs need not charge that rate , thcv may charge less , or they may charge more , but in bringing a suit the complainant need only .show the schedule adopted by the commis sion and prove that he lias been paying more thr.ii that , and he has made out a prima facie case. The companies then have a chance , however , to show that the rate lixed by the schedule is unreasonable , but If they fail to do so they are liable to a judgment for damages in civil action In the sum of not less than flOI0 ! or more than & .000. Uut where the court shall hereafter say that such and such charges are unreasonable it is making law. "In tlio matter of switches , turnouts , depots and other facilities the commission is given tlio right to make and execute an order to the company , but in regard to rates the provisions of the law arc different. So long as the commission lias not absolute powers it may act without notice , and the companies have the right to contest the validity of the action in the courts. "This court has no right to determine a rule of evidence , or to decide what are just and what are unjust rates or to say that prima facie evidence shall bo absolute evi dence , for that is what it is asked by the state to do. All this court can do is to act In accornanco with the rulings of the supreme court and tlio acts of the legislature , and under them thodemurrcrmustbobustained. " The decision will bo noticed with a great deal of interest by railways over the country on account of the bearing it has on the rela tions between the board of commissioners and the railways. Attorney General Stone , in conversation upon the subject yesterday morning , re- mar/ted that about one moro decision of that kind and Iowa would llnd herself without any railroad liw. The law which was drawn up a few winters ape for the purpose of dealing so stringently with tlio railways Is little by little coming into view as the work of a lot of granger legislators , assisted by a few shrewd railroad lawyers , who sat back out of bight and pulled strings. It Is highly probable that nn entire revision of the railroad law of the state will bo found necessary within the next two.years. The present decision of Judge Deemerwill , in all probability , bo appealed to the supreme court , but the general opinion seems to pre vail among tlio local attorneys that It is in accordance with the state law. itiicTii : : ; > TIII : ntorosiTiox. City Council AVMI Table tliu Iti-qtipftt or tliu Union Depot C < iinpjny. The members of the city council met at the council chamber last evening as a committee of the whole to discuss the proposition made by the Union Depot company with reference to the donation of Union avenue to the Union Pacific railway in consideration of the purchase of the union depot grounds by the company. It was a short meeting , but in the half hour that they were together they found plenty of time'to transact some important business. Mayor Lawrence read a message in which ho stated the object of the meeting and told the aldermen that the matter under consideration was one which demanded the greatest caution and discretion on their part. Ho reminded them that tlio members of the depot company were not the only ones to bo considered in tno case , but they must look out for the Interests of the entire city. Alderman Smith then Introduced a resolu tion , as the report of the committee toiwhicli the matter was referred at the last meet ' ing , recommending that the whole matter bo tabled indellnitely. The report was unani mously adopted. At the meeting of the council tomorrow evening this report of the committee of the whole will be adopted and the scheme of the Union Pacltlo to got pos session of Union avenue without paying a cent or doing a thing In return except pur chasing a piece of ground at Its fair market pricc > will then bo officially knocked in the head. Tlio opinions expressed by the business men during the last few dajs indicate that the action of the council will meet with the hearty approval of the majority of the peo- pcople. "When the ordinance was passed granting the Union Pacific thu right to dis continue Its half-hourly dummy trains , It was the express understanding that it should take part In the union depot enterprise ; within eighteen months , " remarked an in ; terested party last evening ; "a provision to that effect was Inserted in the ordinance. .of as the attorney for the city and the attorney for the Union Depot company claim yi i the Union Pacific now tries to show- that simply because no reference to that provision was putln thu title of the ordinance that provision Is n dead > 1 letter , it is un exhibition of bad faith on its imrt , of the worst kind. It is an attempt by means of a mere technicality to sneak out of an agreement which was made with the full knowledge of both parties , and as such should arouse thu liuiicnation of all good citizens. The next thing to do is to show our resentment for such un action on the part of the Union Pacific by taking all measures possible to get It off of Union avenue , vacate the street , and put it back where it was at tirst , In thu form of lots. , This temporizing policy toward thu railroads has been pursued long enough to show It at utter failure , and If the present city attorney ; docs not cave to prosecute the case we must get an assistant who will , " llurned to Ili-uth.

The kinder garten under the management of Mrs. Hard- man and Miss Baldwin is doing a grand work for the children , which is duly appre ciated by those who have observed it closely. It seems strange that the oppor tunity of placing children under such an experienced kindergarten trainer should not bo taken advantage of by moro parents. It seems diftlcult to get parents to inform them selves concerning tne real mission of the kindergarten , but the work of the school is so successful that It is winning its way into popularity , and it is hoped that it will soon bo lirmly established upon a prolltablo basis.

The "Groto Ostor" ball of the "Jungens Holt Fast , " which has been the talk in Plattdeutscho circles for several weeks , is a thing of the past. The attendance was per haps not ns large as had been expected , yet those present were not deterred by this from enjoying themselves , so that Gcnnanla hall very seldom held a happier lot of people within its walls than last night. To the left of the stage was the flag of the society with its insignia two hands Joined under the double oak tree while to the right was the United States Hag. The singers division of the vorcln , under tlio direction of their loader , Mr. Khynert , rendered several selections , which were well received , The committee on arrangements consisted of Theodore Houck , George Hclnen and Wil liam Kieck.
