THE Fourteenth Amendment is likely
to give the courts some trouble. Beside
the suits arising under it involving the right
of women to vote, there is now pending in
the Supreme Court of the United States a
number of other cases Of a different nature,
all claiming attention under this amend
ment. 1t was hardly supposed when this
article was adopted that cases relating to
slaughter houses and tie rights Of butchers,
with actions affecting the liquor interests,
would arise under it; neither was it
imagined that the claim now set up by
women, of the right to vote under its pro-
visions, would ever be thought of. And
yet all these questions are involved in the
cases now, and all have strong arguments
in their support. The Legislature of
louisiana having granted special privil-
eyes to slaughter house company Of
New Orleans, the butchers claim that it
is in violation of the first section of the
amendment, which provides that ''no
state shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or i'm
munities of citizens of the United States,
nor shall any state deprive any per-
son of life, liberty, or property without
due process of law, nor deny to any per-
son within its jurisdiction the equal pro-
lection of the laws"

premises to stand on. To talk about the
Legislature abidicating the right of taking
private property for public use to 'any
five or fifteen naturals" under the free
railroad law, is the sheerest of all nonsense.
Such proposition has not enough
meat in it to go down with the biggest
natural" outside of newspaper Office
in christendom. The state parts with no
such right, and no more exercises it under
q general law than under special one.
Should company organize under general
law, and apply to the proper court for the
right of way, the ma nagmg officers of it
would have to pay the appraised damages
for cutting through mans premises
before they could set foot upon his
land except for the simple pur-
poses of survey. Before spade can
be put into the soil, or a rail Of fence
thrown down, the full value of the land
must be paid for according to appraisal.
How ridiculous, then, is such fanfaronade
as the above. 1t is on par with the
sheer about "naturals," when every tyro
in a ten-leafed horn-book knows that
corporations are treated as ''arti6cial" per-
sons in contradistinction to natural y
ones.
Give us some sensible argument against
free railroad law.

A PROPOSITION has been introduced
into the Michigan legislature for the ap.
pointment of railway commissioners, who
shall have power to enforce the general
railway law and have supervision of all
police regulations concerning railways in
the state. The investigation Of the house
committee has resulted in revealing state
of affairs in Michigan closely resembling
those of which Illinois complains. 1t was
discovered, for instance, that the local
rates on certain roads is sixteen dollars
per car, while the through rate is only six
dollars. The committee recommend the
enactment of a general freight law to pre-
vent such unjust and invidlous discrimina-
ton, and the passage of some special laws
to compel roads to a more just uniformity
of rates. IA

SENATOR SEIZURE in the debate on the
Caldwell case, held that after an election of
United States Senator, the state loses all
control over him. 1t has no power to re-
call or reconsider the election. There is no
remedy except through the Senate. The SEN
ate can expel the unworthy candidate, and
give the state. otherwise helpless, an oppor-
tunity to retrieve itself. If the pending
resolution to declare Caldwell not duly
elected should fail to pass, Senator Schurz
said he would vote for Senator Alcorn's
resolution of expulsion. X

The Supreme Court Of Massachusetts
has declared unconstitutional the act of the
Legislature of that state, au thorizing the
city of Boston to raise twenty million dol
lars to be loaned to sufferers by the fire
and applied solely in rebuilding burned
premises. The ground Of the decision is
that the city government is not authorized
to raise funds except for strictly public
purposes, and that to loan as proposed to
private individuals would be to dispose of
public moneys for private benefit.
