The decision Of the Cuited States
Circuit Court of Wisconsin, affirm.
ing the eonstitutionality of the Wis
consin railroad law, has very nat
urally created quite a stir in railway
and financial circles, all over the
country. By this decision the right
of the State to regulate and restrain
railroad companies, and other pub
lie carriers in their transportation
rates, becomes a fixed fact.
And now the Wisconsin Railroad
companies propose to carry the
question before the U. s. Supreme
Court for a final test. Should that
tribunal confirm thejudgment of the
courts below, we may expect the
railroads to renew the contest in
the political arena.

DowH WITH rHE OLD rooms.

l. Business In Omaha never has
been more stagnant:than it IL now.
Every branch Of industry and traf-
fic Is depressed, and OF all hands
the question is asked, how and
when may we obtain relief?
Other towns and cities in the
West are also undergoing q COM
mercial crisis, but they are assured
of better times when the harvest is
over. Omaha has no agricultural
backing to speak of, and without .
grain elevator ora grain ware
house she cannot expect to
reap much benefit from the prom
Using crops. If we are asked who is
to blame for this state of affairs, we
should say, most emphatically, our
old fogies. Omaha Is cursed with
this class Of anti-progressionists.
They squatted here when lots could
he had for the mere asking, and
they hold their corner lots at fabu-
lOus prices, with full faith in our
manifest destiny to become a new
Chicago.
They bristle up like hedge hogs
when anybody mentions public i'm
provements, and they talk about
paupers and Migrants whenever any
body applies to them for work.
Taxation Is their night mare, and
high rents their sole delight. The
tribe Of old fogies has ruined many
a city, and unless Omaha shall
disregard and spurn their .owlish
counsels, and baneful influence, she
mover can expect to regain her for
mer prosperity.
Just now when the City Council
are trying to relieve the general
stagnation by ordering some neces-
sary Improvements On our streets,
the old fogy organs are setting up
the old howl about taxation and
hard times. They predict utter fl
nancial ruin upon the city unless
the contemplated grading and bridg-
ing of certain streets shall be aban-
doned. They talk wildly abnut inn
pending municipal bankruptcy, and
even intimate corrupt motives on
the part of councilmen who favor
such measures.
Now we hope that councilmen
will pay nc attention to such old
fogy clap-trap- The fact is Omaha
must either act like q city or prepare
to shrink back into village proper
lions.
Why shall our streets and thor
oughfares continue in a disgrace
fully impossible condition, when we
know that the property owners on
those streets are able to grade and
pave them.
What is the use of talking about
bankruptcy, when III warrants are
quoted at IS, which is nearer to par
than they have been In the past ten
years. Why shall people who
traverse our creeks, risk
their necks in crossing rotten
bridges, when it Is the plain duty of
our city to protect the life and prop
erty of each citizen. Why shall the
Street Commissioner and City En-
gineer draw their pay for doing
nothing during the only season of
the year when their services can be
actively and proftably employed?
Can anybody deny that the do moth
ing policy which has been pursued by
our municipal government for the
past nine months, has been detri-
mental to the general welfare of all
our citizens? Would not common
sense dictate the adoption Of a Wig
orous policy, while 90 many Of our
workirgmen m out Of employment?
Down with The old fogies and old
fogyism, say We, and up with the
picks and spades. Let Us give some
evidence that Omaha is still alive
and progressing.

of facts which must carry conviction
TO tho minds of every one who reads IT,
He shows that It Is n right which the
state has never relinquIshed under
such circumstunces--the protection OF
her citizens from thieves and robbers,
who, after crossing 10 the west side OF
the Rio Grande, taunt those in pursuit;
that II Is not II violation Of the law OF
nations, because the MeXlcans, unre-
strained by their government, have, for
the last twenty-five years made war on
the citizens of Texas, murdered men
aud families, carried oil stock or shot
them down, took oil their hides and
| left their carcusses to rot. The evil
dence is overwhelming and not con-
tradicted. So great has been the me-
cessity for lnllicting punishment upon
! them, that a distinguished United
States officer, General Mackenzie, fol-
lowed them across the Rio Grande far
into the interior and there chastised u
predatory band. No complaints have
been made about it; thus showing
that 1t Is generally conceded that the
net was justifable.
Still Governor Coke is ready to coun-
termand the order, If notified to do SO,

Texas on the part of the general gov
eminent to refuse to her permission

COTTON IN NORTHERN TEXAS.
"rhe Dallas Commercial learns,
from conversation with number OF
planters from various portions Of
northern Texas, that the prospect for
fair average crop Of cotton is very
flattering, and that it Is not impossible,
in many localities, for the yield tn lie
extra large. the frost nolds otf for
three weeks longer, planters are SAN
guine that the middle and top bolls
will mature.
While the drouth caused the most
of the squares and blooms to shed, but
very few of the hollis did SO, aud now,
under the favorable weather of the
past few weeks, indications are that
the crop, IN many parts of northern
Texas, will realize nearly an averaged.
Now, sir, we see, on an average, fifty
farmers per day, and we have yet to
hear one farmer state that we viii
make in northern Texas more than
one fourth of crop of cotton. This
morning we have reports from Ala.
bama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas, North Carolina and Tennes

crop except North Carolina, and that
state, at best, makes but little, COM
speaking.
The Commercial seems 10 delight in
placing its ''don't care guessing" col
umns In the same category with the |
farmers and merchants of northern
Texas that the agricultural bureau oc-
cupies with the New York Journals.
