The Newton ComnIaint.

In the complaint submitted by the citi.
gems Of Newton charging the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe road with excessive
freight charges, the Railroad Commission.
ers reviewed the matter in which an agree
ment was entered into between the Mis-
souri Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe, to carry through freight from
Emporia Junction to Newton at a certain
rate, and in consideration the former road
was to receive east-bound freight. The
Commissioners decided that the arrange.
ment between the two companies
named in no wise affects the burden
Of the shipper or in any manner
increases his charges. The present ar.
rangement affords to shippers the same
rates between st. Louis and points on the
A. L. q 5. F. Road via Emporia as obtain
by way of Kansas City. The apportion.
ment of the through BUSINESS between the
two companies concerned in the carriage
OF the goods is matter of arrangement
between them, from which mutual advan-
tages are secured, and so long as such ar.
rangement does not injuriously affect the
shippers the Board could see no valid OBJ
lection to it.

Oklahoma Decision.

In the matter of the application of David
L. Payne and others for an injunction re-
straining General Pope and the Secretary
Of War from interfering to prevent settlers
from entering upon and occupying what
are commonly known as the Oklahoma
Lands, Judge McCrary, in the United
States Circuit Court at Topeka, recently
rendered his decision denying the injunc.
ton. After citing the preliminary
facts in the case and describing the territory
in dispute, the court said: SIS the land in
question subject to entry under the pre-.
emption and homestead laws of the United
States! This is the controlling question in
the case. 1t is to say the least, question
Of doubt and one concerning which there is
n serious dispute. The Executive branch
of the Government after investigation, and
being advised by the Attorney General OF
the United States, has decided in the neg.
alive, and has accordingly issued orders tc
the defendant, John Pope, who, as a Major
General of the army, has military command
in the Indian Territory, to prevent
by force the occupation of the dis
puted territory by white settlers. Under
such circumstances, all that this court cat
at present be reasonably asked to do, is to
preserve the status quo until the final ad
Indication of the controversy. Where tn,
parties are at issue upon question of legal
right and an injunction is necessary fol
the purpose of preserving all existing rights
until final hearing, preliminary injunc
ton will generally be granted; but in the
present case the existing status would be
destroyed, not preserved, by granting the
writ. The sole purpose for which the in.
junction is granted in advance of final hear
ing in such cases is to preserve the rights
of the parties pending the suit, so as
to leave the subject matter intact to
be dealt with by the court in the final decree.
Il is to compel the party against whom it is
granted to maintain his status merely un
til the matters in dispute shall by due pro
cess of the courts be determined. To grant
the preliminary writ i'm this case would be-
in advance of hearing upon the merits, &c
open up the disputed territory for settle
ment, and thus in effect to predetermine
the controversy as well as to destroy the
present situation. To refuse the writ is to
preserve, or at least not to disturb, the ex
listing status. Without, therefore, consid
ering other questions, the motion for pre-
liminary injunction is overruled upon this
ground"

In town. The reason is, because he
has his store open every night and is
selling his toys and Christmas cards
at cost, intending to give up that
line of business. He is SO rushed
by purchasers that he hasn't time to
go to his country seat. You should
see his large family (of dolls), and
how they play with the soldiers, and
have tea parties. One room in his
store is devoted to the display of
toys, the only trouble is that they
are of too varied description to
choose from. Puzzles, cubes, mar
bles, the historical animals of Noah,
horses, railways, drums, steamers,
they are all going like ninepins. His
new stock of furniture and fancy
goods is not devoid of merit.

RETURN OF LABORERS.

A gentleman, who is well versed
in the South Sea labor traffic and its
difficulties, endorses our remarks as
to the charges of each laborer to the
Fiji Government, he having seen the
published official report in the Fiji
Times. He also dwells upon the
difficulties that will be experienced
in obtaining a further supply of
labor from this source, if men are
not Immediately returned to their
homes at the expiration of their con-
tracts. The time for their return is
always noted, and the promptness,
of the Queensland aud Fiji Govern
ments in sending the laborers home
has had much to do with their
success in obtaining men.
Our informant says /. if the men
are not returned on time, it will be
almost useless attempting to obtain
any more, as the news of their delay
spreads rapidly from group to
group" While on this subject we
might ask, who is to bear the ex-
pense of returning the South Sea
laborers, that have just arrived,
under the auspices of the p. l.. and
S. Co., the clause in the contracts
enforcing their return, by that COM
pany, having been omitted?

the ATTORNEY-cENERAL.

The appointment of Mr.. Paul
Neumann as Acknowledgement was
announced on Saturday. The va
cancy which has existed in the Cabi-
net for the last six months is now
filed. 1t is only repeating what
both the supporters and opponents
of the Government know and admit,
to say that it ought to have been
filed long ago. A competent, re-
sponsible Attorney-General might
have saved the administration many
serious mistakes and the consequent
trouble arising therefrom. Had not
the decisions of the Supreme Court
Judges, in the matters of the Gazette
charter and the coinage, been ad.
verse to the Government, the dd in

continued for an indefinite period,
to the injury of all concerned. 1t
is well that a change has come at

whom the appointment has been
