INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.


 There seems to be little doubt that a concerted move will soon be made for the repeal or modification of the inter- state commerce law. It is claimed on the part of the great railroads of the coun- try that the law in its present form must essentially bankrupt them. According to Receiver McNulta of the Wabash sys- tenn, while the law appears to be all right in theory, its operations are rad ically wrong, and its effect has been and must continue to be directly the opposite of what was intended. That it has and may for time continue to give much lower rates Is certain, but eventually any advantages in this direction must be repaid a hundred fold. It is like bor- rowing money at an exorbitant rate of interest without calculating for the day of settlement. A very few years of such conditions it is claimed would bankrupt every road in the country.
 If Receiver McNulta is right in his observations some notifications of the law are desirable at very early date. It is difficult to believe that the effect of the law can be detrimental to railroads and shippers alike, yet it seems from the general complaint on the part of mer- chants as we'll as the railroads that it is not looked on with favor. It would be most unwise to place the great railroads of the country, which should naturally be source of general prosperity, in con- tinual danger of bankruptcy and ruin; and when the shippers also, who were expected to derive great benefits from the law, are pressing for its repeal or amendment, there would seem to be cause for prompt legislation in the matter. It is not likely, however, that anything will be done at the present session of congress, for the time will be too short before adjournment to give proper attention to the matter.
 But all the same something should be done without delay to perfect the opera tions of the law.

THE toilers of the Public Ledger of Philadelphia are pretty well satisfied with their ''sits" while MT George w. Childs is at the helm. On Christmas day, it is said, he distributed among his editorial, reportorial, business and me chanial corps nearly S40,000 in money. This, too while paying the highest rate of wages current in Philadelphia. Mir Childs' heart is as big as his brain, and that is saying a good deal.

ANOTHER TARIFF DISCUSSION.

This mornings Washington dispatches announce that the democrats in the house are getting themselves ill order for another discussion of the tariff during the present session of congress. A de termined effort will be made it is de- clared to defeat the republican tariff measure in the senate, and failing that the house will take it in hand. This is cheering news, for even though the country is pretty heartily sick of tariff talk the democrats should rot miss this excellent opportunity of laying bare the hypocrisy of the republican party and sending their vicious tariff bill into re- tirement.

Ne Moro scalp BOansIes.

by reference to a notice elsewhere In
this issue it will be seen that the Board
OF County Commissioners have de-
termined to protect the tax payers of
Etko county from the evident fraud to
which she has been subjected. There is
little doubt In the mind of anyone who
has given the subject careful considera.
ton that this county has paid hun.
dreds OF dollars as bounties on the
scalps OF animals taken outside Of the
limits Of the county; and it Is for the
purpose Of preventing such frauds upon
our Treasury that the Commissioners
have "taken the bull BY the HORNS" az
it were, and made the order which they
did. The very fact that the county
paid over 81, 400 on claims allowed by
the Commissioners at their regular
meeting in April is sufficient evidence
in itself TO indicate that the claims were
not oil legitimate, as there is no reason
TO believe that o sufficient number Of
scalps wore taken in this county in one
month to call for that amount OF money;
and while we believe that the county
could not avoid the payment Of lrgiti-
mate claim for bounty on scaIps, we
think the Commissioners were wise in
passing the order which they did yes
terday.

A Runaway.

A runaway which resulted very Sc
fiously occurred about s o'clock yester-
day afternoon on Geary street. Ber-
nerd Horn of tho wholesale butcher firm
OF Horn q Chapman of South San Fran
cisco and Arthur j. Ellis, his collector,
were out yesterday in q buggy driving
. young and frisky colt. After exercis-
ing in the Park and on the Bay District
track during tho day they returned to
the city towards o'clock. On the way
down Geary street the colt took charge
and went at q fearful puce towards
Market street. It coIlided with Lotta's
Fountain, smashing the buggy and
throwing the inmates violently on the
ootblestones, where they ley insensi5le.
They were taken to the Receiving Hos
pitnl by some of the bystanders, and
DIR. Martineaut on examination found
that Mr.. Horn had fractured skull, q
broken collar-bone, cut on the right
side of the head six inches long and the
right ear almost severed. He is in
very serious condition. Ellis came off
much easier, receiving only two LAGER
ated scalp wounds, one over the right
eye, the other over the right ear and
a general shaking UPS. F. Alta. 7th.
In giving an account Of this sad af-
fair the Examiner says that the hopes
of Mr.. Horns recovery are slight. Bar

try, and his many friends in this vioin-
ity will sincerely regret to learn of his
MISFORTUNE for aside from being gen.
ial, whole~souled gentleman he was O
useful man in the community and was
noted for honesty and integrity in bust
Ness matters.

The Constitution Of the &. S, 4. aud the
Tariff.

Certain believers in protection have been
quoted. as bearing on the tariff question,
the Constitution of the Confederate States
Of America. Article l., section as follows;
"The Congress shall have power
60 Law and collect taxes, duties, imposts;
and excuses for revenue necessary to pay
the debts, provide for the common defence
and carry ON the Government Of the Con-
federate States; bat no bOunties shall DC
granted from the treasury nor shall any
duties or taxes on importation from foreign
nations be laid to promote or foster any
branch of industry; aud all duties, lmposts,
and excuses shall be uniform Throughout
the Confederate States
The purpose Of these protectionlsts IN
quoting a very admirable instrument Is 10
prejudice the Mills tariff bill by underta-
king TO inculcate the idea that the South Is
almost solidly in favor Of the Mills bill be-
cause the measure represents Confederate
idea.
Yet one of the most potent factors in the
defeat of this same Confederate Government
was the fact that, despite the provisions OF
its Constitution, it was victim of the
protectionist theory. Nothing could enter
it from foreign ports Whatever home IN
justries it had were amply protected by th'
North, and big prices were paid for those
oommodiues-a pair of boots bringing one
hundred dollars, suit of clothes ranging
mp to five hundred dollars as the protection
was perfected. Confederates did not veal
boots much. nor were they noted for the
possession Of many suits Of clothing. II
fact. there was too much protection then Al
there is too much protection now.-Stafe.
