that railways are public highways, and requires
the legislature to pass laws establishing reason
able maximum rates Of charges for the transpor.
tation of passengers and freight carried by
them. 1t 10 well known fact to this
court that railway corporations have
seriously commended, and that some courts
have held, that when the legislature performs
its duty in fixing q maximum rate it must be
high enough TO afford a return sufficient to pay
for the maintenance Of way, for the operation
of the road, the expenses of management in
terest on debt, and leave something as compen-
sation to the stockholders. If this doctrine
should ever be established Is correct (which
seems now to be the determination of some
writers in high authority on the subject), then
anyone can see the absolute necessity OF some
power being vested with the right to inquire
into the business aud validity of the debts on
the public highways. Ii the state is denied that
right, then who could exercise its Not the cor
poration, because it could not taKe advantage of
its own wrongs. Not the stockholders, be-
Illegal acts, and In a short while estopped
by their laches. Not the directors, for they are
bound by the will and acts OF the stockholders
Not the citizen, because he is not q privy to the
contract Then who could do it? No one.
Hence to avoid the effect of the just and rea-
sonable rate prescribed by the legislature and
to maintain a high one for the transportation OF
the traffic by the common carriers, they would
simply have to increase their indebtedness by q
fictitious issue OF interest bearing bonds. If the
state could not have them Cancelled or prevent
their payment, the public would surely be at the
mercy of rapacious private individuals endowed
with the taxing privilege as q corporation be-
yond the power OF the government itself.

THE STORM OVER AT p1rrsBuRG

THE STORM OVER AT PITTsBURG.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. lS.-A great
snow storm is over, business has again
resumed, and no more trouble is appre-
hended as long as the snow lies on the
ground. A sudden thaw or heavy shower
would cause disastrous flood, as there
are from eighteen inches TO three feet of
snow on the mountains and throughout
Western Pennsylvania. The railroad
blockade has been raised and all trains
east and west were nearly on time this
morning. Telegraph wires are some
what crippled, but the companies are
getting them in shape very rapidly. and
before night will be able to handle BUSH
ness without delay. Street cars are
again running and electric light, tele-
phone, fire alarm and police telegraph is
in operation as usual.
IN EAST TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Dec. 1S.-Reports
received here show very heavy snow
fall over the mountain countries lying
south along the North Carolina border.
The snow ranges from six inches to three
feet deep, and has been falling SINCE
Tuesday noon or even longer.
In Southwest Virginia the snow is very
heavy at Brystol. Yesterday no trains
Oh the Norfolk and Western railroad
were able to get through and the sched-
ule has been abandoned as the road is
buried in snow.
In East Tennessee the snow. was from
six to twelve inches deep. At 8 clock
this morning it was eight inches on level
at Jackson City and twelve inches at
Brystol and still falling at both places.

WANTS 1T CORRECTED.
Hon. E. Wade Corrects Certain Reports Con i.
corning His Action at the Ocala
Convention.

NASHVILLE. TENN, Dec. 18.-Hon.
f. Wade, secretary of the state Demo-
cratic executive committee, and holding
a similar position in the State Farmers
Alliance, who was delegate to the Ocala
(Fla.) convention, said here to-day in
an interview with an American reporter
that he had been grossly and unjustly
misrepreseDted in the dispatches from
Ocala in regard to the alleged resolution
binding every member of the Alliance to
subscribe to the platform of the order
and support no man for office who
does not subscribe to these principles.
He says no such resolution was offered
by himself or any other delegate to that
convention. This report has created
great interchange between Democrats
and Alliance men of this and adjoining
states. Mr.. Wade saws: So far as my
individualities are concerned, they
amount to but little, but as I have been
placed before the country in false atti-
tude and the press generally have Sc
lected me as target, 1 deem 1t due my
self to say that my views have under
gone no change relative to the demands
to the Alliance. ] am not in favor Of
the sub-treasury bill of the government,
lines, nor any other demand that places
the organization in the attitude of sub
scribing to policy of Capitalization
and government paternalism. The Ten
nessee delegation at the Ocala meeting,
which was composed of Governor elect
Buchanan, j. H. Mcdowell, W. C.
Lightfoot and myself, endeavored by all
honorable means to have the national
organization adopt q broad, liberal and
conservative policy SO that we could go
before the country with the motto in
seribed on our banner: equal rights
to all and special favors to none.'' We
were also unalterably opposed to any
third.party movement, and agreed
among ourselves that il this issue was
forced we would retire from tho body.
However. no attempt was made looking
to this, and whatever action was taken
by the so-called reform press after the
adjourning of the National Alliance cuts
no figure so far Is the greatness OF the
order 10 concerned, and apprehend that
no member Will consider for a moment
the action OF the members for the press
as binding In the rsmotest degree on
other Individual action on q public ques-
ton.

BoNHAM, TEX, Dec. ls.-w. N.
Belcher, farmer living fifteen miles
south of this oity, sold cotton to Joe
Moss, one of our cotton buyers. The
tickets were made out for $40 and
Belcher changed them to $40. He

complaint was filed charging him with
forgery. Deputy Sheriff Holland went

him in the care of sheriff CLANCY.
To-day Sheriff CLANCY received letter
from the sheriff of Raines county telling
him to look out for boy fifteen years
