MORE RAILWAY DISCRIMINATION

The east bound pool Of railroads run
ming from Chicago to the seabosrd has
adopted a new tariff on dressed meats
which is an outrageous discrimination.
Dressed hogs, in common cars, in carload
lots, are charged 30 cents per 100 pounds
to New York; in lees than car load lots
81 cent?; In refrigerator cars, carload
lots, 90 cent?; dressed sheep, In common
cars, any quantity, SO cents; in refriger.
ator cars, alone or with other meats, 30
cents. When different classes Of meats
are loaded In the same car, the highest
rate applies to the entire carload, thus
compelling a carload Of dressed beef
which contains even one or more dressed
sheep to pay the sheep rate of 80
cents to New York, while the dressed beef
rate is only 20 cents. II n or more
dressed hogs are loaded In a car of dressed
beef, to fill out, the dressed beef rate OF
20 cents Is charged on the hogs, although
the hog rate is only 90 cents. Against
this %exorbitant tariff on hogs and sheep a
most vigorous protest has been made by
the Chicago live atook exchange, as 1t lie
an unjust discrimination against the live
stock interests of the west,
The probability, however, Is that the
railway managers, the majority of whom
seem to think that the crops, cattle, hogs
and shee west are raised FOL
their especial benefit, will pay nc
attention to this protest. The Chicago
stock exchange, however, propos es tc
make a lively fight on this point,and il
this they will be unanimously supported
by the producers of the west. They may
possibly devise some means of compel
ing the railroads to treat this part of the
country fairly. 1t only goes to show tha'
the railroads need state and national leg
islation. They sesm to forget that they
as common carriers are the servants o
the people, and not their masters. b.
their domineering arbitrary and exactinl
course they are continually inviting the
attention of Legislatures to their meth
dds and they do not seem to display evei
ordinary good business sense In some o
their discriminating transactions and ex
tortionate tariffs.

The burning of the Catholic orphan
asylum In New York Is a warning that
ought to be needed by the Omaha board
OF education. The board should immedi-
stely take steps for the protection of the
children In the high-school building by
the erection of stand-pipes and fire.
escape ladders, such as have been al
ready attached to several high buildings
On this city. Several hydrants should al
80 be located close to the building. This
matter Is too importantto be delayed any
longer. The safety of the school child.
rem and the proper protection of the mag
nifcent school edifce demand these i'm.
provements, which can easily and quickly
be secured. There is no good excuse
why this should not be attended to at
once.

THE Pullman car company has always
maintained that it is not responsible for
the goods and chattels of Its passengers,
but an Indianapolis court has just de-
cided in the case of the robbery of a
passenger that 1t is responsible. This
virtually places the sleeping car COM
panies in the same position as hotel
keepers, who are compelled to provide a
place of safe deposit for the money
and valuables of their guests.

WHILE the house is considering the
Reagan interstate commerce bill, which
disposes of the railway commission plan,
the senate has taken up the Cullom bill
which provides for a commission. Mr..
Cullom, in advocating his bill, quoted
from a letter from Commissioner Fink,
who expressed his belief that there was a
sealed public opinion shared by the rail-
road companies that it was desirable to
have such a commission. What else
could be expected from MIR. Fink9 But
when he says that public opinion,
''sealed" or otherwise, favors a railway
commission, he says what he knows we'll
enough is untrue. The fact is that the
mass of public opinion is opposed to any
such plsn. While Mr.. Cullom may be
sincere in his efforts to secure healthy
railway legislation, he ought to know
that a commission is likely to neutrallzs
the effect of any laws that may be passed
to regulate the railways. Should con-
gross, however, eventually adopt the
commission plan and clothe the commits
sion with executive as wall as judicial
power it might be well enough. In
England the railway commission has
power to enforce its DEGREES. aud
there is N o appeal from its decisions.
Such a plan in this country might prove
successful, but if the railroads thought It
likely that such a system would be estab-
lished they would most vigorously oppose
1t. The only kind of q commission they
want is one whose duties will be limited
to the gathering of statistics and making
an annual report and whose recommen-
datious will never be carried out. That Is
the kind of commission that they have
succeeded in having adopted In quite q
number of a the states, aud as . conse-
quenos they continue to have their own
way mere than ever.
