She Horsewhips a United States Commits
sioner on the Street.
CHICAGO, March 25.-U. S. Commits
sioner Simeon w. King was horsewhipped
on the steps of the First National bank
to-day by dark-eyed pretty widow, Mrs.
Frank Kent. The dignified Mr.. King,
quietly entering the bank, suddenly
found himself seized by the whiskers, re-
ceiving stinging cuts across the face, his
feminine assailant crying: "I'm not fit to
take care of my children, am II" Mr..
King tried to run, raising his hand to
shield his countenance, but the woman
kept in front, lashing him repeatedly
over the head and shoulders. In desper-
alton he lifted his cane and struck her.
The street was thronging with excited
people and he was pushed into the bank
while the widow was arrested. Mrs.
Kent, who is a panorama painter, asserts
that Mr.. King, her attorney, defrauded
and calumnlated her. King says Mrs.
Kent held unrightful possession of one
of his houses in company with an anarch-
ist named Harbaugh.

Gov, Miller in st. Paul.

ST. PAUL, March M-Gov. Miller of
North Dakota was present at the cham
Der of commerce this morning and was
invited to address the chamber, which he
did very briefly and appropriately. His
appearance was greeted with applause.
Gov. Miller said he wished to express for
himself and his state the gratitude which
they felt for the friendly and kindly
action taken by the chamber. ST. Paul,
Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota
had kindly assisted them during the win
ter, and their later action in helping them
to supply feed for their cattle would
prove of the greatest advantage, as it
would allow them to put in their seed
wheat. The governor also bespoke the
aid of the chamber in securing the sup
ply of seed wheat, which the impover-
ished farmers stood greatly in need. He
also thanked the chamber, citizens at
large and especially the press of St. Paul
for the attitude taken in the great strug-
gle through which his state had passed,
helping them to come out victorious in
that struggle. Z. !.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.
THE RAILROADS SUSTAINED.
The Fixing of Rates Not Under Legisla-
tive Control

The Fixing of Rates Not Under Legisla-
tive Control.
Pioneer Press; The decision rendered
by the supreme court OF the United States
reversing that of the supreme court of this
state in the famous milk and switching
rate cases is the most important which has
emanated from that tribunal since it's de-
cision in the granger cases, recognizing the
power of the state legislatures to regulate
the rates Of railroad transportation. in fact
it is the long awaited compliment of that
decision-saying in part what it had left
unsaid, and fixing the constitution limits
Of the power of the legislature or of
its agents to regulate railroad
rates. The facts in the two
cases in question are we'll remembered, for
they. have been the subject of a great deal
local press. The state commission ordered
the Eastern Minnesota road to reduce its
charges for switching cars from $1.5O to ST..
This the company refused to do, alleging
and proving that this rate was below the
actual cost of the service. The commission
insisted upon its right to determine arbi-
trarily, finally and without appeal what
preme court upheld it in this extraordinary
claim. The Importance OF this decision
cannot be overestimated. 1t will re-estab-
lish the almost extinguished faith of
the people in the security of the
enormous amounts of capital in
vested in American railroads. 1t
fixes an insuperable barrier against the
tide of destructive agrarian and confiscato-
ry legislation and judicial decisions which
have threatened the unlimited spolation of
all railroad properties. 1t says to the leg
islatures of the states which have been pur-
suing this destructive policy: "You may
regulate railroads but you cannot destroy
them. You may regulate their rates with
in the limits OF what is reasonable and lust,
but what is reasonable is "a question not tor
you or state commissions to determine. It
is question Of fact to be determined by
due process of law" In fine, it places rail-
road properties under that eqnal protection
have undertaken to deny
them.
