This country has no place for religious
prejudices.
DIFFERENT KINDS OF JUDOES ,
"I do not wish It to be undcrstooll that
I believe all Judges to bo dishonest , as we
have many honest men wearing Judicial
ermine , but it cannot bo successfuly denied
that several of the Judges arc conniving
with the corporations to make slaves of the
free American people. If the employes of a
railroad company can bo prevented from
meeting to try to prevent their wages from
being cut why cannot the owners of the
railroad be prevented from holding meetings
to devise some means io reduce our wages ,
I do not think that any ono Is expecting
that Judge Dundy will Isuo an order to pre
vent the owners of the Union Pacific from
holdln ; meetings , and It Is a poor rule that
will not work both ways. The labor
problem must be solved by each man him
self , and until the majority of the people are
educated so as to cast Intelligent
ballots they are sure not to get much relief
from the government. The sacredness of
the American ballot should bo carefully con
sidered by every voter nnd In the ballot can
ba found relief from the Ills of which
labor complains. The liberties of the Ameri
can worklngmun should be carefully guarded
and I cannot sec why the liberties of the
Union Pacific employes should not bo-looked
after now. I think that It Is possible for
the employes of the Union Pacific to have the
much talked of decision modified nnd that
the object Is surely worth the effort. The
men who are now having their wages
reduced will have them still further
reduced If this order of the court Is allowed
to stand as It Is at present. All the power
In the hands of the employes should now be
exorcised to prevent , In some legal way ,
this court order from going Into effect. "
After Mr. Debs concluded about fifty of
the employes of the Union Pacific came
forward and Joined the new organization.
The following telegram was received by
11. J. Him while the meeting was In pro-
gross. It was read amid great applause , and
gladdened the honrls of those preiont :

It-iiiihliig Than All.
Eugene V. Dcbi , president of the American
Railway union , was asked by a Bee reporter
last night what action his organization w.is
likely to take regarding the present trouble
on the Union Pacific syste'm.
"Tlie executive board of the American
Railway union , " said he , "will call a meet
ing at some central point on the system ,
most likely at Cheyenne , as soon as It will
bo convenient. The fact is I have Just got
on the ground and have not exactly made
up my mind what Is to bo done
first , but all of the unions are
to send delegates to this meeting.
and I have requested that each dolcgato
receive Instructions from his organization so
that every representative will thoroughly
represent the union that sends him. What
will be done at this meeting I cannot now
say , as It would be mere speculation , but I
am well satisfied that every move wo make
will bo well considered and that we will
undertake to settle our trouble. If possible ,
without a strike. Strikes have often been
Ill-advised , and we do not want to precipi
tate n strike If we can settle the trouble
without , but there are yet too many free
men on the Union Pacific system to be cowed
down like slaves , and when any court thinks
It can make slaves of them the court is
grudtly mistaken.
"I believe that Judge Dundy will yet bo
compelled to reconsider the order ho has
issued and ho Is no doubt now Inclined to get
out of his present predicament the best way
lie can. His letter writing amounts to
nothing whatever. Ills Interpretation of
order amounts to nothing because the
order still stands as before And Is plain
enough for any man who can read the Eng
lish language to Interpret. We
will yet convince v" > the court
that worjsfngmori have some. " rights that
must bo respected , and that wo have the
Intelligence to know when a court under
takes to reduce us to slavery at the dicta
tion of a corporation. I consider Judge
rDundy's order the most farreachlng of any
corporation written order signed by any
United States Judge. It must not be allowed
to go Into effect. I toll you It must not be
tolerated , or decision after decision will
bo rendered Just as wicked until all of our
liberty will bo lost , r am receiv
ing great encouragement on all sides and do
not feel that wo 'will lose this fight. Wo
have right on our side and we have the
courage nnd patriotism to stand by the
right. "

Trouble Yp .
The tolcRram from Chicago regarding the
Union Pacific rate question Is somawhal
misleading in view of the fact that the pres
ent basing rate of $ ! ! > via Portland was
agreed to by the transcontinental lines on
the opening ot the Midwinter rates. The
Union Pacific so far as Is known , Is main
taining Its rates , and will continue to do
BO until the northern lines comcnce to show
a disposition to break away from their moorIngs -
Ings , In which event the "Overland"
will undoubtedly bo In nt the death.
For years It has been the custom to fix
a basing rate on round-trip tickets via Port
land , the present round-trip ratu of | C5. 0
bolng only by direct lines , JIB being added
on tickets reading via Portland. For sev
eral years the basing rate was $20 , but when
the Midwinter fair rates went Into effect $1G
was fixed as the basing rate via Portland ,
and It Is In effect now.
As to the Union Pacific being a member
of the emigrant pool , the assertion Is dented
at headquarters , although It Is well known
Mr. Lonmx agreed to take out of the hands
of Peter McDonnell , the steamship , agent ,
all buslnnns which he regards as "con
trollable. " This business was placed In the
hands of the eastern representative of the
Union 1'aclllc , Hlchard Ten Ilroeck , but when
the question of commissions came up , Mr.
Ten Ilroeck demanded the same commission
as would have been paid to Peter McDon
nell , but the executive committee ot the
emigrant organisation refused to allow any
commissions to the Union Pacific repre
sentative , which has raised considerable of
a row In eastern railroad circles. It Is
this and other things which make ! Mr ,
Lomax's life not a happy ono.

brought against the Missouri , Kansas &

of the charter of the road , The letter Is ad

governor says :
"If the facts are as the petitioner states ,
then neither Parsons nor the company can
be Injured by reason of the suit. I am dis
posed to let the court pass upon It without
any Interference on my part. While I am
willing to take Into consideration the feel
ings and wishes of the people of Parsons and
vicinity , I hope that I may be permitted testate
state that It Is not the Interest of the people
of Parsons alone that Is ln\olved tn this con
troversy. It Is the sovereignty and dignity
of the state of Kansas that are at stake.
The state cannot permit corporations cre

by Its people to set Its laws at defiance With
Impunity. "

CHICAGO , fFeb. . 8. There was more
trouble at the close of the meeting of the
Western Passenger association today. The
committee which has been considering the
Canada Pacific's acts requested more time.
The meeting then took up the merits of
the $15 rating from the Missouri river to
Pacific coast points , which was put Into
effect about a week ago by the Union Pa
cific. A resolution was Introduced for plac
ing all rates on the $15 basis , but It was de
feated after a hard strugcle. The Alton
and Milwaukee & St. Paul at once gave
verbal notice that they would accept the
$15 rate from the transcontinental connec
tions-and would sell tickets .accordingly ,
beginning"-February 12. The Chicago &
Northwestern Immediately Issued a written
notice declaring Its Intention to put In
effect the same rates , beginning tomorrow
morning. The Atchlson Issued no notice ,

acquired the Northern Pacific & Manitoba
line sold It to the Northern Pacific and
cleared $1,000,000. Ho also said that
$9,000,000 were squandered In terminals at
Seattle. In the case of the Rocky Fork &
Cook City line ho said the company had
paid $1,000,000 for a road worth only $800,000
In order to reach a coal mine worth $200,000.
Of the Seattle , hake Shore & Eastern road ,
which cost the Northern Pacific $2,000,000 ,

during the discussion of the colonial esti

of the Cameroon ; ) colony , who , the prince
said , had disgraced the German name In
the Cameroons. Dr. Krilsar , director of the
colonial department , said that If accounts
received In Berlin from the Cameroons ,
charged the governor with flogging women ,
wore true. Governor Lelst would be severely
punished. Dr. Kalsar added that a com
mission had already been dispatched to the
Cameroons In order to Inquire Into the af
fair.
fair.Herr
Herr Bebel denounced the despotism of
Governor Lolst In vigorous terms , declaring
nothing within the decade had oxcfted such
universal Indignation as the flogging of
women by the German official.
Later Dr. Kalsar admitted that the Da-
homeyans had been bought , but. he added ,
the government Immediately ordered their
release.
The Tageblatt publishes a. letter from
the Cameroons , dated January 4. It gives
the details of the recent troubles and says
only two rebels were hanged. It said It
was feared the Dahomeyans remaining In
the bush would cause further trouble. The
revolt , the writer said , had undone a year's
work. It was impossible to hopTrtor the
prosperity of the colony until the present
Incapable regime was abolished und replaced
by men who were able to cope with a dlf-
flcult situation.
A letter from Wlndhoereck , dated Decem

LONDON , Feb. 8. In an Interview with
the principal submanagor of the- principal
bank doing business with India today in re
gard to the stiver situation and prospective
legislation , the latter said that the directors
of the bank were Ignorant of any prospective
legislation , and asserted that the general be
lief is that the Government cannot take
measures , or oven propose thorn , with any
prospect of success until the silver market Is
steadier. The submanager also said that he
thought It probable that at the present price
the Indians would resume making purchases
of silver for hoarding. Nothing was known ,
lie asserted , concerning the probable , reopen
ing of the Indian mints.
The drop of rupee paper today was In all
one-half. A representative of the Asso
ciated press , In an Interview this afternoon
with a high official of the India office , was
told that the government did not contem
plate any further silver legislation at pres
ent. In conclusion the India office official
made the following significant statement :
"Speculation In which America is interested ,
which Is sending silver to the Indian mar
ket , will probably result In some heavy
failures before long. "

CEDAR RAPIDS , la. . Feb. 8. ( Special to
The Bee. ) Cedar Rapids may yet become a
member of the new Western Base Ball as
sociation. For several days there has been
a good deal of quiet work going on , and ns
a result several moneyed men of the city
who are Interested In the national game
have expressed their willingness to sub
scribe liberally toward the support of a
team during the coming season. W. S. Mc-
Caull , a member of the schedule committee
and one of the promoters of the leasuo.wrlt-
Ing from Des Molncs , has assured the Cedar
Rapids people that If they desire admission
to the league , Jollot will also bo taken In and
the league made one of twelve clubs. As a
result a meeting will probably bo held In a
few days anda / temporary organization
formed , after which the matter will be
pushed for all there Is In It. There will be
another meeting of the league at DCS Molncs
February 20 , and Cedar Rapids will no doubt
have a representative at that meeting. Those
who are Interesting themselves In the
movement hero are of the opinion that Des
Molncs will not have a club and that the
league will bo an eight-club one after oil.
This city maintained a club In the Illinois-
Iowa league for two seasons and has always
been conslQrcd ono of the best ball towns In
the state. The grounds where the ball park
Is now located have been secured for another
year , and as the park Is already In fairly
good shape , this city could go Into the league
at comparatively small expense.

Colonel Akin Introduced the following
resolution , which wns unanimously adopted :
Resolved , That the attorney of this board
be and Is hereby Instructed to at once com
mence an action of mandamus , orother proper
actltfn , against the mayor und the city council
of the city of Omaha to compel them to levy
tiie amount of tax necessary to raise the
money called for In the estimate of this board
In accordance with the terms of thu statute in
such climes made arid provided. .
In explanation of his action Colonel Akin
said that the resolution was not to be taken
ns an indication of ill will towards the city
council. It was simply a question whether
the city council know better than the board
what was necessary for the educational
interests of the city. The board had been
hampered by the refusal of the council to
make the required levy a year ape and now
it was trjinp to do the same thing again. It
was titnu that tno boara found out whether
It haa a right to exerclso its own Judgment
or not.
Thp secretary was Instructed to aJvertiso
for bids for grading the Izard site to the
established grade.

INCOME TAX CAN'T ' REACH'EM '
Some Salaries that Will Suflor LUtlo from
the Proposed Law ,
PRESIDENT AND SUPREME COURT EXEMPT
I'edrrnt Cnnnlltutlon KorbhU the CnttluR of
the Salarlrn of Thrto High OIllclaH
During Their Trnuro of Olllro
Other Washington Notes.
WASHINGTON. Feb. S. One clause o !
the federal constitution provides that the
compensation of the Justices of the United
States supreme court shall not bo dimin
ished during their terms of ofllce. The con
stitution also declares that the "president's
compensation shall not bo Increased or
diminished during his term.
In view of these constitutional provisions
an Inquiry has arisen as to the power of con
gress to innko nn Inconto tax applicable to
thcso high officers of the government. The
Inquiry Into this question has developed
some Interesting Information , the tenor of
which Is that the president nnd Judiciary
would bo exempt from paying the tax.
February 16-1SC3 , Chief Justice Taney of
the supreme court wrote a carefully prepared -
pared letter to Secretary Chase , which Is on
file among the records of the clerk of the
supreme court. The chief Justice called at
tention to the clause of the constitution
referred to , nnd said of the Income tax :
"The act In question as you Interpret It ,
diminishes the compensation of every
Judge 3 per cent , and If It can bo di
minished to the extent by the
name of a tax It may In the same way bo
reduced from time to tlmo at the pleasure
of the legislature. The Judiciary Is ono of
the three great departments of the govern
ment , created and established by the consti
tution. Ita duties and powers arc specific
ally set forth and arc of a character that
require It to bo perfectly Independent of the
other two departments. In order to place
It beyond the reach and oven above sus
picion of any such Influence the power to
reduce their compensation is expressly with
held from congress nnd excepted from their
powers of legislation. Upon these grounds
I regard an act of congress , retaining In thu
treasury a portion of the compensation of
the Judges , as unconstitutional and void.
"All of the Judges of the supreme court
have an Interest In the question , and could
not , therefore , undertake to decide It.
"I am , however , willing to leave It In
ferred from my silence that I admit the
right of the legislature to diminish In this
or any other mode the compensation of the
Judges when once fixed by the law ; and my
silence would naturally , perhaps necessarily ,
)4ud Xin uo oauo350nbou | so uodn paqooi oq
In the power claimed and exercised under
this act of congress , and would bo regarded
as a precedent , establishing the principle *
that the legislature may at Its pleasure
regulate the salaries of the Judges of tha
courts of the United States and may reduca
their compensation whenever congress may
think proper. "
Chief Justice Taney's letter seems to hav
Ijad Its effect , for after the war when Wil
liam Richardson , now chief Justice of tha
court of claims , was the secretary of tha
treasury there was refunded the nionsy
which had been withheld from the salaries
of the Judiciary under the income tax.
