Consequences Of the peci,lon.
Minneapolis Tribune.

Minneapolis Tribune.
Bradstreet's' regards the decision
of the United States supreme court in
the Minnesota railway cases as ga de-
parture from the principle at the basis of
the granger decisions. - Those decisions
confirmed to the states the power to fix
maximum rates. The new decision holds
the final determination of rates to be q
judicial, not a legislative function. JUS
tees Bradley, Gray and Lamar dissent
most emphatically, and Justice Miller
joins in the new decision with expressed
reluctance. His opinion is that the state
authorities have the right to make and
enforce rates; but that the roads have a
right of appeal to the courts if they re-
gard the rates as unreasonable. His po-
sition would seem to be very close to that
of the majority, yet it differs by shade
or two. -
The decision means that rates can he
fixed by the state authorities, if at all,
only Professionally 1t gives a new and
difficult class of cases to the Federal
courts. Already the amount of railway
administrative business that these courts,
by their decisions have brought upon
themselves, is something colossal. They
administer important roads under re-
ceiverships for years. They decide
whether or not roads shall be sold. They
are becoming the absolute masters of
vast extent of railway lines. They have
now under this latest decision taken upon
themselves the rate adjusting authority
of congress and all the state legislatures
and of the interstate and various state
railroad commissions.
The Tribune does not critioise the de-
cision as mistake, but 1t cannot avoid
perceiving some of the grave conse-
quences that must inevitably flow from
it. Either the states must, give up alto
gether their hard-won right to regulate
rates, or else the courts (ohiefly, of
course, the Federal ones) must be loaded
down with cases appealing from the ac-
ton of legislatures or commissions.

water of the Mississippi into these regions
and benefit by this plan both the mum
dated and the arid lands? The money
that has been appropriated both by the
general and state governments in building
and strengthening levees is only wasted;
the mighty waters laughs mans best
efforts to scorn, and spread desolation
and destruction in wider track because
of them. If the proposed channels were
cut to convey the upper waters to reser-
volrs conveniently placed in those regions
destitute of water, the land that is now
valueless might become the big pastures
of the West, and eventually productive
farms. Such ideas may appear chimer-
ical, but the wonders that have been &C.
complished by man leave little or no
ground for saying this is an idle dream
that admits no possibility. Water in the
wrong place is destructive agent, but
brought under control becomes beneficial
to man in every department of life.

THE Fort Worth GAZETTE is jubilant because
Mr.. Pendleton has been elected MAYOR, and
calls on him to sail in and beat Connor of Dallas
at his own game. Also to lead them out of the
wilderness. Also God bless Fort Worth, and
much more to the same purpose. THE GAZETTE
viii find, however, and Mr.. PendIeton will find,
that live mayor can do nothing without live
people behind him. When all is said and done,
it is the people who count, and not their ex-
ecutive, though he is a man of great power for
good or iII.-LSan Antonio Express.
A live people need organization and
leadership, otherwise their energies may
be misspent until exhaustion follow. a
mayor can direct or retard the efforts of
his people His official position gives him
influence and power, and if he chooses to
exert them in behalf of the town, rather
than his own ambitions, he can be a power
for good. A live mayor Is nucleus
about which live people may and will
rally.

Mexican Authorities Uuged to Come Back at
Uncle Sans Collector at Laredo
Special to the Gazette.
LAREDO. TEX, April 6.-Since the
ruling of the United States custom col
lector in this city forbldding Mexican
oartmen and transfers to come to this
side empty and return to New Laredo
with goods destined for merchants in that
city, the press of that city have been
severely condemning the collector S
course, and satirically referring to his
course as one to bring about speedy re-
ciproclty. They now demand that the
aut b critics adopt retaliatorY measures.
The following extract from FL Doming,
the principal paper of that city, voices
the public sentiment Of their citizens:
Gin view Of the fact that the customs
authorities of Laredo, Tex. have re-
Gently issued an order that no Mexican
carts or draws shall transfer goods from
that city to this, We urgently request
that in Just retaliation for this reciprocal
ruling the custom collector of this city
issue an order to the effect that no
wagons, carts, carriage or vehicles of
any character shall come to this side of
the river unless paying the regular i'm
port duties as foreign vehicles. The
mayor and city authorities OF our city
are also requested to do all they can to
impede the traffic of American vehicles
in this city.
It is known that our authorities never
adopt a course which injuries the COM
mercial tIafic of the United States.
Then why should the neighhoring au-
thorities injure ours? 1t is hoped the
authorities above mentioned will take
steps TO protect Mexican cartmen, who
are directly injured by this ruling.
Laudable reciprocity is that, which be-
grudges our cartmen the privilege of
earning bit (ten cents) on American
soil -
