settlement OF That Indebtedness.
TIE presidents of the trunk lines Of
railways between Chicago and the east
have had another meeting and again
advanced the rates for shipping grain.
This is the second advance since harvest
and the combined advance equals ten
cents u b,lshel on wheat and other ccre-
ais in proportion If this advance is
necessary To enable the trunk lines to
do business, the low rates previously in
force were what compelled the compa-
Mics to cut down the wages of employees
To starving rates and led to the strikes
and trouble caused during the summer.
Hence the former rates on frcights were
an outrage on the railway employees, or
the present rates are an outrage on the
producers of the whole west.
In this connection the following cdito-
rial comments of the New York Journal
Of Commerce on the Potter law decision
is suggestive. That paper is one of the
most conservative in the country and
opposed what was designated as the
granger legislation. 1t says;
The United States supreme court has
at length recognized as valid the eX-
trcmcst power claimed by state over

Il control over the interstate commerce
which affects its own people, or does
this matter wholly belong to the federal
government? The supreme court de-
cidcs that II state, where 1T has not
parted with It's power by contract, can
regulate the fares and freights, under the
circumstances mentioned, on 4 road
outside of its limits which is cOnSol-
dated with one ON its own territory.
The power of the state reaches beyond
its confines rs to things which directly
concern It's own people, however lis
action may indirectly affect the people
of adjoining states. This is GOOD law,
saws the supreme court. until congress

A COSTLY EXPERIMENT.

During the last winter Of the Crimean
war, two yachts belonging to Mr.. Scott
Russell suddenly appeared in the tran
gull waters of Poole harbor. They
brought with them two naval officers
deputed by the war Office and a singular
and wonderful submarine engine. re.
sembling an inverted boat, which it is
now no secret to state was an invention
destined to penetrate, like the Trojan
horse, into Cronstadt harbor, and there
bring terror and destruction to the Rus
slams. The said machine was filed with
compressed air, and lowered by weights
while it was fashioned to contain a crew
OF twelve men, who were to push it
along the bottom of the sea, and then
when inside the wished-for haven to
raise it by peculiar mechanical ar
rangement. 1t is perhaps needless to say
that the trial was complete fiasco, tn
crew being unable to propel the subma-
rine vessel any distance, while the
weights failed to work properly, and
thirteen of her majesty's subjects were
almost drowned, albeit they remained
over half an hour under water without
suffocation. This experiment cost the
country about $4,000.
