THE railroad commission has jumped
aud slugged railroad. The Rio
Grande and Eagle Pass is the recipient
OF their attentions. The law creating
the commission fixes with bands of
iron all freight rates existing at the
time of the organization of the COM
mission. BY giving ten days notice,
the roads can, with the consent of the
commission, alter those rates, and in
that way only. The Rio Grande and
Eagle Pass overlooked the commission
and the law when it issued a manifesto
increasing freight on coal after July /,
but the commission promises to be on
hand when the change is made. 1t is
only little move, and the road in
question may not be as big as some
others, but it will serve very we'll for
