THE political problem Of Wisconsin is
rendered more difficult to solve by the in.
PRODUCTION of another factor. The farmers
of the st ale have formed an organization
whose object is to secure reasonable rail-
road tariffs, and they propose to desert
any party that refuses to recognize their
cause.
The Wisconsin farmers are sensible
In union they can obtain justice. In no
other way will the farmers of this state ever
receive justice from the corporations that
Can throttle the industries of the country
any moment. The Badger grangers do
not ask for rates ruinously low. They do
not wish the companies to lose money or
to work for nothing. They simply ask
that no man or town shall have special
rates over any other man or town. They
shall carry freight for any one In any di.
1ectiou at fixed price. For this pur-
pose they want the roads put into the
hands OF congress. Their demand is just.
There is no reason why these public car
riers should refuse to carry grain north
or south; or why one man should have
special rates; or why small town should
pay higher rates than larger one which
is even q hundred miles or more fart her
from the center of trade. If the farm ers
will combine and persist for years they
will win. Railroads are for carrying
freight aud passengers, and not for build
ing up and destroying the trade ofpar TIC
ular towns; not for sustaining wheat
rings, not for debating the legislation of
our states.

ment 20 the constitution which declares,
mo law levying tax or making other
provision for the payment of interest or
principal of the bonds denominated Min.
nesota State Railroad Bonds, shall take
effect or be in force until such law shall
have been submitted to the people Of the
state and adopted by majority of the
electors ofthe state voting upon the same,"
dcprives the legislature Of all power to
provide for the payment of the bonds, and
therefore it could delegate no such power
to 4 tribunal; and it would be true, were
the amendment valid. Thus the Supreme
Court was called upon to determine the
validity..or invalidity of the amendment.
The decision is long and full of authori-
ties, aud clearly shows the amendment to
be Invalid III that it impairs the obliga
ton of contracts and is rcpugnant to the
constitution of the U. 8. The lack Of a
remedy does not release a state from the
tul6lment of its obligations.
This is the position that has long been
held by the highest legal thought IN the
country and by the sound common sense
of men caring more for the honor OF the
state than for money. 1t is righteous
decision. The Legislature is manifestly
better fitted TO deal with this question
than the people at the polls The voters
are intelligent enough and most of them
honest enough to do what is right; but
how few care to inform themselves cor
rectly, and how few have the time and
means Of doing so. This action of the
Court will prevent an illegal delegation
Of legislative power, and will stamp out
an unconstitutional amendment The
legislature is now free and in duty bound
to settle these troublesome bonds and to
remove The dishonor of the state from the
sight Of the world. To many it may seem
singular that the Supreme Court should
restrain the tribunal and then do the very
thing for which the tribunal was organ
lied. The Court could not avoid the
Issue in deciding to grant the writ of
prohibition. And it is we'll. The deci-
sion Of the tribunal could have been no
more just, and with many minds it would
have had less wei CHIT The right Of the
bond question Is slowly asserting itself,
and the stain of reputation will soon be
ours no more.

In one of our editorials last week it was
stated that it is the tendency of American
cities to 60 into debt and that the debt
increases rather than diminishes. In SUBJ
sanitation of the statement We quote
from Robert P. Porter's remarks on the
statistics Of deb t, based GU the census !:
II think it may be safely said that state
debts have decreased about Is per cent. =;
county, township, and school district debts
about per cent, while the debts Of cities
have probably increased 100 per cent.
Indeed, if the census Of 1870 be correct,
the increase in the last class Of indebted.
ness was over 1873 per cent.

The democratic council of Owatonna,
in a fit of misguided economy, has cut
down the appropriations asked by the
Board of Education. A $1,000 bond and
interest is to be paid with $685.; at least,
that is the sum appropriated for the pur-
pose. This favors OF Virginia Bourbon
ism and reputation. But it will not do
in this state. No town can cripple its
schools and thrive. Enterprising people
will not settle in place having poor
schools. Austin has seen hard times but
