An Interesting Railroad Case.

The complaint Of an Illinois firm
against a Railroad in that State for
alleged unjust discrimination in charg-
ing higher freight rate to New York
from certain city than from another
which is farther from New York, brings
up an interesting question concerning
State power to regulate interstate trans
portation. The question is whether the
Illinois officials, granting the charge to
be true, have authority to forbid dis
elimination in the traffic rates, since
part of the road over which the freight
is carried is outside of the State. The
railroad company, it is reported, holds
that the Illinois Commissioners have no
right to act, because one of the termini
of the traffic is beyond their jurisdiction,
while the Commissioners hold that they
have full power in the premises. The
right of Congress to provide the neces-
sary legislation exists under the clause
of the Constitution authorizing it to
regulate commerce between the States,
but this power has not been exercised.
The issue is whether a State, in the
absence of any federal law to regulate
interstate transportation, has authority
to regulate it by forbidding discrimina-
tions and otherwise. It will doubtless
come before the Supreme Court of the
United States The Democratic posi-
ton as announced in Ohio, Pennsylvania
and other States is that legislation to
protect against imposition should be
furnished by calling into exercise the
power delegated to Congress to regulate
commerce between the States, and the
power reserved to the States to exercise
it within the States.

The Fair at Meridian is going on
this week. The Homestead says it
promises to be grand and glorious sue
cess-such Fair as was never before
known in the State. From what
We already know, the Fair is an
assured success. The vast number of
the various breeds of thoroughbred live
stock on exhibition there, has insured
the grandest exhibition of fine stock
ever witnessed in the Gulf States.

Our New York contemporaries say
that in that State, legislators who re-
sisted the law for the creation of a Rail
road Commission are very commonly
left off the ticket, and that the Anti

factory in this regard. Where one can
didate is so and the other is not, they
are urging the election of the former
without regard to his party connections.

THE St. Louis Republican thinks that
the Democratic vote for the confrma-
ton of Judge Folger as Secretary of the
Treasury, does not imply Democratic
approval of his views on the tariff, on
funding. on banking, or on the silver
question. God forbid The New York
moneyed interests, say the Republican,
have same peculiar views on monetary
questions, and these peculiar views are
both mistaken and hostile to the views
and interests Of the country. At times
the New York moneyed interests assume
to interfere with the legislation of Con-
gress, as when, year ago, they succeed
ed in defeating bill for refqnding
part of the national debt at 8 per cent,
and when they attempted, but without
success, to prevent the reconciliation of
silver.

notice of a sale by landlord of the person.
al effects of a tenant, including even his
bedding. A law that permits this is bar
barous and indefensible. and MUST be
amended, 1t is well known that such an
extreme use of this rent lien by landlords is
rare. And when we some months ago
attacked the features of the lien law giving
extraordinary privileges to that class,
some OF the largest planters in the county
expressed acquiescence in our position The
use of this isolated extreme instance to
excite the laborer against the land
lord is mischievous demagoguery-Gre

Its not a party measure. 1t was intend
ed to enable Broperty-oWners to collect
their dues; and at the same time, to
give the poor man an opportunity to use
his effects as a credit to secure him a
home. But the aim of the State should
be not to reduce any class of persons to
pauperism, land the law will be amended.

The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1881-11-03

SINCE August l, 1879, about $780,
100000 of foreign gold has been i'm
ported into the United States, and our
own mines have produced fully $685.
900, 900 more. The addition of the
great amount of S275, 100000 in gold,
and upwards of 100000 of silver that
have been coined under the silver bill
of 1878, to the national wealth is a great
achievement.
