Chicago to these points beyond Omaha
by continuous freight, at lower rate
than to Omaha, and then shipped from
Omaha to these same destinations.
Omaha claimed that the difference IN
the tariff rates from Chicago to Omaha,
plus the rates from Omaha to points fur
Their West, above the direct shipment
rates from Chicago to these points, was
a discrimination against Omaha. The
latter city did not charge that the rates
were too low between that point and
Chicago, but were too high from Omaha
west. Under the system of rebates that
prevailed before the enactment of the
Interstate law, the wholesale trade OF
Omaha obtained an advantage, which
the law deprived them of. The COM
missioners discuss the matter at great
length, wherein they refer to their de-
cision in the case of the Vermont State
Grange VS.. the Boston & Lowell railroad
company, in which the same issues were
involved, and decide against the com
plant made by Omaha. Chicago is
trade centre, and what Omaha asked the
commission to do was to deprive other
towns in Nebraska of the same benefits
OF law, long distance rates from the
city on the lake, that it received itself.
In other words Omaha demanded an ad
vantage over other towns in its own
neighborhood. The commission makes
clear the difference between long dis
lance and local rates as charged by rail
road companies, and sustains them. The
charges on first class freight from St.
Adams to Boston, 265 miles, is So cents;
from Chicago to Sterling, ILL.,, 10 miles,
is 30 cents; from Chicago to Clinton, 1873
miles, is 40 cents; Chicago to Cedar
Rapids, 2l9 miles, is 90 cents; Chicago
to Omaha, 400 miles, is 10 cents, This
freight problem continues to be per
picking question, and il is well that the
Interstate Commerce commission has
been created. -TSt. Adams Messenger,
We give this as an item of news-our
impression has always been that the law
of supply and demand, rather than rail
road commissions, is the true rule of de-
termining rates. As well attempt to
legislate people into prohibition as to
say by law what freight rates shall be
charged.

An Interesting Debate ON the Army

WASHINGTON, June 20.--The Senate re-
sumed consideration Of the army appro-
priation bill, the pending question being
MIR. Hawley's amendment offered yes
terday.
Mr.. German said that the reason why
he had raised the point Of order yesterday
on the amendment was that he thought
that this was. not the proper time and
place for such proposition. lie did not
believe that the terms Of the amendment
were sufficiently guarded TO protect the
interests Of the country in beginning such
a great enterprise. II proposed 10 place
the whole $500, 900 In the hands Of tho
ordnance bureau, a system which was gen
orally regarded as vicious. bad and sure 10
result in disaster. Its officers have no re-
spect for the rights Of people outside, and
the House always failed 10 recognize even
a valuable invention when il Is brought 10
their attention. II II a crying shame, and
Mr.. Hawley said the amendment merely
proposed to do for thearmy what had been
done for the navy. The proposition Of the
senator from Maryland, II he Qiawley)
understood u, was that private concerns
should be invited 10 make q perfccting
gun. But he (iawley) asserted that no
large steel manufacturer In the country
would undertake ON any terms that tho
government would listep 10, or the people
sanction, 10 build twelve or sixteen-inch
gun In It's own shops purely for expert
mcnt. Would the senator himself, II lac
had 8, 900. 900 or S3,000,000 invested In
