The attorneys acting In behalf of the
members of the State Hoard of Trans
portation have filed tholr answer to the
petition of the railways asking for an
Injunction of the United States circuit
court to prevent those public officials
from doing their duties under the provi
sions of the maximum freight rate law.
In this an&wor the Issues that are at
Rtnko are distinotly joined. The various
allegations made by the railroad attorneys
noys are flatly denied , and Iho court la
requested either to innKO them provo
tholr pleadings or to dissolve the tem
porary injunction.
The legal battle before the courts will
bo fought by the state along soy-oral
lines. The state's attorneys claim that
the railroads. nITccted by the bill are
purely domestic corporations and that
as such tholr rates of charges upon
freight transported between points
within the state are subject to legisla
tive regulation without the interference
of federal authorities of any kind. They
emphatically assort the power of the
legislature to constitutionally enact
statutes fixing reasonable niajdmutn
rates. Furthermore that house roll 3,1
creates a spccUlf : procedure by which
any injustice either to railways or ship
pers may ba remedied by appeal either
to the State Board of Transportation or
to the regularly established. ' Judiciary ol
the stato. In view of this provision , all
jurisdictions of the federal court to In-
( | uiro into the reasonableness of the
statutory maximum rates is denied.
But should the federal court persist in
assuming jurisdiction , the state's
attorneys will bo ready to cham
pion the reasonableness of the rates
established , not only by questioning
the statements of the railways as :
to the cost , capitalization , bonded in
debtedness and profits of their lines , but
also by comparing the rates with those
previously in force , and with those ir
force in the similarly situated state ol
Iowa. They show that * Burlington stock
is three-fifths water , ' that dividends
have , In reality , boon 20 to 25 per cent ,
and that the expense account is ox
ec'ssivo and unwarrantably largo , while
receipts are diminished by persona !
favors and free transportation.
The- defense then will rest chioflj
on a throe-fold pleading" . First , the
stato's attorneys deny jurisdiction of tin
federal court. Second , they uphold the
constitutionality of the legislativ
action. Third , they assort that no property
orty is taken without duo process of law
because the maximum rates are , in themselves
solves , reasonable. With the issues
thus joined , and with able lawyers t <
defend the validity of the statute , lethe
the battle proceed in order that the lav
may bo vindicated at the earliest possi
bio day.

The 1893 season of the western Cliau
tauqua assemblies has boon closed
although the originalChautauqua sossioi
at the homo of the movement in Nov
York state is but now ending its activi
operations for the summer. In this fac
alone wo have one mark of the esson
tlal differences that distinguish Chau
tauqua in the cast from Chautauqua i )
the west. With us the assembly solder
fasts longer than two or throbrw'cek'
and the limits of time form ono of th
most potent obstacles to extended ani
thorough work. The necessity of crowd
intr everything into a too brigf period c
study offers some excuse for a dopartur
from the principles upon which tb
movement was founded.
At the bottom of the Chautauqua or
gani/ation lies the idea that regular ani
scientific study can bo brought homo t
the ambitious student by a course c
systematic reading under the diroctio
of trained instructors. The outdoo
assembly is but a means of supplement
ing the pupils' work by a series of lee
turos and recitations modeled very muc'
upon these which are proscribed for th
students in our better colleges and uni
versitios. To this idea the original Chat )
tauqua has consistently adhered ; it i
practically a summer session of a oollocr <
a college which gathers together its fac
ulty from among the most available an
best fitted members of the educutlona
corps of all our loading oducatlonaWnst :
tutlons. Its continued , success in attract
Ing both students and professors i
ample evidence that the program is on
of merit and of real eciontific value.
Compare with this original Chat
tauqua the Chautauqua of the west an
wo shall find that the latter not enl
started on a piano far below that of it
model , but also that it has on the whol
failed to make any noticeable progros
toward bringing it nearer to the ideal t
which it ought to aspiro. Besides th
unfortunate time limit which ombai
rubsu1 : ! the Chautauqua in the west t
which wo have alluded , these Instltt
tlons have so slender and precarious
connection with the Cliautauqua organ
xation that their work scarcely come
within the purview of u poison purauln
n systematic course of study undt
guidance of the reading circle , Th
attendants at the assembly then are nc
these who could profit by the wor
which might bo expected , nnd oven di
the real student attend , dliwppolntmoi
In the facilities offered would no doul
force him to consider his time worse tlm
wasted. An examination into tli
methods , purposes and programs of son
of those institutions will soon show tl :
reason for tholr failure as viewed froi
an educational standpoint.
The great defect in the Chautauqn
assembly of the \vo& is that It loses sigl
almobt completely of the Chautauqi :
idea. ICducutlonal features are over ,
whore haerlllcod to drawing attraction
Wo read in ono report , "This was tl
big day of the Chautauqua. It was 01

of the Republic and was preside

The promoters of bond sohcmca Indlg' '
nantly deny there is any element ol
chance In their business. They Inslsl
hat the system of bond payment based
on the multiple of throe , nnd those
laving no multiple basts , are within' the
comprehension of the average man. .
Admitting the latter proposition , li
confirms the charge that the element ol
chance Is a factor in scouring business.
I is the possibility of getting ahead o
.ho game of securing an early matur-
ng bond that constitutes the lottorj
enture of bond schemes.
What is a lottery ? Webster defines H
as "A Bohomo for the distribution o ]
> rlzos by lot or chnnco ; especially r
ranting schonio in which 0111
or moro tickets bearing partlctilai
numbers draw prizes nnd the
est of the tickets are Xlanks. '
Jndcr this and like definitions bone
iromotors imagine there is a loophoh
'or escape , in that all bonds are to Ix
mid ; that there are no blanks , nnd thai
all porslstont investors will rccoivo the
amount "nominated in the bond. " The
courts and writers on criminal juris
> rudonco construe lotteries to moat
much moro than defined by Wobstor.
"To constitute n lottery , " saya Blshoi
Statutory Crimes , soc. 955) ) , "thoro ncot
JO no blanks , but there must bo sotni
property disposed of by lot. " Again it
sec. 952 , ho says : "A lottery may bo de
Inod to bo any scheme vrhorobv oho , 01
mying money or otjior valuable thlnj
-o another , becomes entitled to rocolvi
'rom him such return in value , or noth
ng , as some formula of chance mav do
tqrmlne. ' ' Precedents established b ;
courts are equally clear in defining a
.ottorios dovlcos similar to bom
schemes.
A case reported in 23 N. J. law involves
volvos the two points of chance and tin
absence of blanks. A piece of proport ;
was subdivided nnd. each tot sold'for ai
equal sum. The lots wore of unequn
value. The scheme was prepared nni
exhibited previous to the sale , and thi
purchasers paid tholr money not for ai
equal undivided share of the land , bu
in the hope and expectation of obtainlnj
a valuable allotment and thus onrichlni
themselves at the expense of the others
In deciding the cose Chief Justice Grcoi
said : "Tho fact that the scheme con
talnod no blanks , but that every adventurer
turor was to receive something for hi
money only rendered the device mor
successful and the results consequently
moro injurious withou * . altering its os
Bontial character as a lottery. " A cos
involving similar points was decided ii
1818 by the supreme court of Pennsylvania
vania (4 ( Sorg. & R. 151) ) , Chief Justic
Tolghman pronouncing the scheme
lottery. a
In the early CD's , when latter
agents were required by law to pay
license of 3100 , a land speculator in Ai
toria , Oro. , Bold a number of lots f
equal value at an even price per lei
But to give eclat to the sale ho offered
few extra lots as prizes to purchaser !
When charged with operating a latter
without a license his defense was that n
there wore no blanks and as every ma
received an equivalent for his mono }
ho was not liable. Judge Dcady , lat
justice of the federal court of Orogoi
hold that the device was a lottery.
In Bell VB State (5 ( Snood , 507 , 509
Judge Caruthors of Tennessee says : "j
lottery is a game of ha'zard , in whicl
small sums are ventured for the chanc
of obtaining greater. "
There is a practical unanimity in al
published decisions that who rover"th
element of chance becomes a consider !
tion the device is a lottery. Chance i
the main feature of bond investmot
schemes. State and federal laws prc
hibit lotteries. It remains for th
proper authorities to enforce the la1
and suppress lotteries , in wlmtove
guise they may appear.
JNTEKNATIUNAL AltlltI'ltATlOlf.
In answer to a question regarding th
moral effect of the Boring sea arbitri
tion upon the nations , Mr. Phelps , ' on
of the American counsel , expressed' th
opinion that it would bo good. A Ilk
opinion has boon oxprosaod by the poac
congress , which adopted rosolutior
approving of arbitration for the sotth
incut of international controvorslo :
The Now York Tribune , in an artlcl
on the decision of the Paris coui
of arbitration , said : "Tho mort
effect of international arbltratlo
must not bo overlooked. It Is
distinct gain for civilization to hav
matters at isaue between grot
nations submitted to a court of this hig
character. It is an object lesson fc
Europe with its circle of military camj
and Its impoverished populations stu ;
goring under tlmburdons of war taxatln
in a time of profound poaco. Englan
and the United States can well afford t
pay the costs of an arbitration whic
oxeris a benotlclal educational effect i
promoting the ends of peace and gwi
will among nations. If the results <
the arbitration are ofjuully satisfactor
to England and the United States tli
object lessen is the moro valuable for tli
humane onda of civilization. The worl
now knows that it is practicable for t\v
nations to submit tholr claims an
grievances to an international court ante
to obtain a decision which will bo muti
ally satisfactory. It Is a practical lease
in the higher arts of civilized progress ,
This is the spirit in which the latoi
and ono of the most important of into
national arbitrations is generally r
garded.
It Is distinctly to the honor of tl
United States , among the great natloi
of the world , that arbitration for tli
settlement of international disputes In
bo grown in favor with onlightene
governments. For a century th
country has boon the ud vocal
and exemplar of the principle of ail
trillion. The first trial of the luotlu
was made In 1791 , to settle a dispute ;
to what river was intended under tl
name of iho river St , Croix , formli
> art of our northoasU p boundary. The
iccond appeal to nrUtrnltoi was niado
n 1797 nnd was to dotdrmlno the com-
lonsntlon duo to JMMsh subjects In
onsoquonco of impMiihonts which cor-
aim of the United Jjpilos had , In vloln-
.ion . of the provisions , of the treaty of
> oacoof 1783 , Intorpiis'qdito the collection
> f bona fldo dobU ijy. fcHtlsh creditors.
'
The most important'numtration under
ho treaty of l"83j hKd relation to
[ uoatlons of contraonn'u , the rights of
neutrals nnd the flnnlityiof the decisions
of prize courts. Sf fot'nl ' disputes that
voro submitted tq. ' . | arbitration arose
indor the treaty of ( Bhont , negotiated In
814 , the most hnpof i'rij of these having
reference to dotormlnfng the northern
boundary of the United SUilos along the
nlddlo of the great lakes and of tholr
communications by water , finally sot-
, led by treaty in 1812. A very Inipor-
ant , arbitration related to a general
ottloment of olaltns between the United
States and Great Britain and was
irovldod for by a convention con
cluded botwoou the two governments In
853. The treaty of Washington , con
cluded In 1871 , provided for four distinct
arbitrations , the largest number ever
established under a single convention.
Fho first In ardor and Importance was
hat at Geneva , which has boon referred
iO as "tho noblest spectacle of modern
tlmos , in which two great and powerful
nations , gaining In wisdom and solf-con-
.rol . and losing nothing In patriotism or
Bolf-respoct , taught the world that the
magnitude of n controversy need not bo
a bar to its peaceful solution.t' ' It
vas this memorable arbltra-
.ion . that settled the Alabama claims.
The last of the arbitrations between the
Jnlted States and Great Britain before
that relating to the Boring sea dispute
was held in 1877 and related to compen
sation duo to Great Britain for prlvi-
egos accorded by the rcaty of Wash
ington to the United States in the north-
easto'rn fisheries. This country has ar-
jltratod differences with Franco , Spain ,
Mexico , Hayti , Venezuela , Colombia ,
Paraguay , Chill , Brazil , Peru , Portugal ,
Denmark , China and the two Sicilios.
Altogether the United States
iias entered into forty-eight agree'
inonts for international arbitra
tion , referring to which Prof. .Tohr
Bassott Moore of Columbia college , froir
whoso published investigations the
above facts nro derived , says : "Tin
arbitrations of the United States have
embraced many typos of international
controversy and many highly important
questions of law , both public and
private. Not infrequently the questions
in whoso solution hey have resulted
were hotly discussed1' as" just and almosl
necessary causes ofwai1 , involving na
tional rights and national honor. I
the contending parUost ad resorted t (
force they would fmrfttlpa never have
realized how casijj , , ' a'nd honorably
tholr differences might/ ( have boon ad
justed by reasonable methods. If thi
° '
United States and 'dreat Britain , in
stead of making tho.itren.ty , of Washing
ton. had gone to war'abJut the Alabam :
claims , which involVoif , ' the rights am
'
honor of both countries , 'and even thi
public legislation 4 and Hho conduct o
the public authorti'ftljtf.090,91 thom , i
is probablo'that-iniiiy patriotic writer ;
in both countries wbmd naw'bQienga'ge'i
in showing how Impossible it was <
submit such .questions to arbitration.
The Bontimont in > favor of Internationa
arbitration has made marked , growtl
in the last half a century , very larcel ;
due to the example of the Unite
States , and the latest evidence of th
value of this method of adjusting con
trovorslos between nations is very sur
to further strengthen that sentiment
Still there are many who will contlnu
to believe that there are some causes o
international difference which cannot b
decisively settled except by resort t
forco. Prof. Moore , it may bo remarked
appears not to bo one of thoso.
THK llUUSINU OF THE POOR.
When the census reports that nearl ;
five dwellings out of every 100 in th
United States are occupied by more tlm
ten pors'ons each , while in Chicago th
ratio roaches ono out of four , and in Noi
York one out of every two , the importance
tanco of the problem of housing the pee
becomes apparent at a glance. Tb
crowding of people into buildings bull
for the accommodation of moro than on
family is an incident of urban life and i
a phenomenon that has noon constant ! ;
increasing with the increased density o
our population. The topic is ono c
great sociological interest and no mor
clover handling of it could bo ox pee to ,
at this time than is found in the recon
monograph of Marcus T. Roynplds , wh
by his work won the prize offered b
the American Economic association las
year.
The tenement house evil and the extremes
tromos to which crowding the poor ma ,
be carried have been manifested mor
sharply in Now York city , and as a cor
sequence Air. Reynolds confines hi
study chiefly to tho3o phases of th
question which have there bcoomo proir
Inont , The unsanitary tenement ii
alas , too frequently mot at the preson
tirao , but existing buildings are .novoi
thol OBI a vast improvohaont over wha

at one time thouglir'that loglslatio
would provo the sh 'ilo t and suvoro ;
remedy. This has latuuinod the chat
actor of oxproprlaftorf laws by whic
plague spots are utl'orly rooted out e

While recognizing the elllcuoy of logli
lation for certain purposes Mr. Iloynuli
refuses to see In it the Halo means of r <
forming the dwellings of the poor.
On the other hand curtain philai
throplc persons have on various occ ;
blons themselves attempted the reform
.tion of existing bulldinga by buyiu
horn In , restoring thom nnd then rent-
nff thom to desirable touants. Tliesa
efforts hnvo proven aucootstul , but must
of necessity bo lltnitod In tholr ccopo.
The single tenement oracled on ono olty
ot bltls fnlr to remain tlio norm ol the
IwolHnga for the poor. It has parsed
.hrough . a multiform development , a
hat the latest approved plans are sub-
act to but few objections. The same is
TUO of the model tenement oroctoil as
nvostmonts by people Inclined to turn
nn honest penny while helping In 1m-
> rovlng the condition of their fellow-
nan. The spread of the suburban cot
tage Is to bo commended , but depends sc
nuoh upon the character of the popula
tion and the physical geography of the
city that It can not bo rolled upon as n
) ornmnoiit remedy. The very poor who
iced reformation most can not attain It ,
finally Mr. Reynolds suggests and
flkotchosaplan for what ho terms the
warding tonomont. This is simply n
model tenement in which the eulinarj
lopartment is conducted on a cothinu-
ilstlu basis a feature which , it ii
.bought , would provo of immense saving
to people who buy tholr food and other
supplies In minute quantities nnd pay
four and five-fold prices for thom. The
greatest Improvement in the houses ol
the poor must como from the education
of both landlords and tenants , and for
this the first requisite Is an aroused
public interest.
TIIK Nebraska Manufacturers ant
Consumers nssoclntton will make an exhibit -
hibit at the state fair nt Lincolr
next month. An opportunity is thus offered
forod to all manufacturers to dlsplaj
the products of Nebraska mills nt a time
when the people of the state will
bo able to inspect them. The rail
road companies have glvon rates tc
exhibitors within the state that will be
nn inducement to thom. The managers
of the state fair arc in perfect accore
with the enterprise. It may therefor *
bo safely predicted that for the first tirm
in the stato's history our state fail
will have as a principal cxhibii
sample products of the manufao
tories of the stato. It will bo i
revelation to many citizens who have
never gained a lair idea of the extent o !
the stato's manufactures. The action o
the atato association will moot with the
endorsement of every manufacturer nne
all others who have an Interest in th <
development of the stato's resources.
THE fact that hundreds of people an
halting on the border of the Cherokee
Strip , only waiting for the signal whicl
will precipitate a mad rush for free
lands , is ono of the most significant ob
ject lessons in the history of the coun
try. It shows' that the desirable landi
at the disposal of the government an
very nearly exhausted , and that honii
seekers who desire to avail thomsolvoi
