From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The most curious thing about the town of
Sweet Springs is the circum stances OF a
man owning a graveyard. Years ago a man
named Herring owned farm In the south
part OF the town and allowed people to bury
their dead in a little plot on the place.
AS long as he lived graves were dug and
people were buried on his farm. After
death a mysterious. unfeeling thing called
'the estate took charge of things. Then it
was that people learned that there had
never been any cemetery associa zion formed,
no deed of the cemetery plot made ana that
''the estate" owned the whole business.
As the town grew more doctors csrue, and
the old cemetery could not hold all the peo-
pie that died. So large new one was laid
out mile on the other side Of town. Some
of the bodies were removed, but many had
no friends living and were left in the old
ground.
The estate" put the old graveyard up at
auction, aud an enterprising citizen bought
1t, bones, tombstones and all. He is not a
vicious, warlike man, neither is he doctor,
aud it is not easy to see what he can want

CEEf AND BRAGG.

The Cleveland Bragg correspondence
seems to be complete, but ii leaves the pub
lie In state of suspense Mr.. Bragg ex-
pressed the hope that Dir. Cleveland would
accept nomination for the Pre- sdency if
the Democratic Convention should tender
one, and Mr.. Cleveland in response dwells
upon the great responsibilities resting upon
the office. The impression his letter leaves
is that he will accept the nomination If he
has chance. but does not think it would be
In good taste to seek TO gain it by personal
effort. The weak point in Mr., Cleveland S
position is that his opponents Will not be as
considerate Of their dignity as he is. There
is not one of them that will not get the
nomination if he can. Ii Mr.. Cleveland
had looked after his fences a little closer in
New York last winter Governor Hill would
not now have a solid delegation to Chicago
from Mr. Ceveland's own State.

RAILROAD COMMISSION poDG1NG.

The issue which has been raised by the
Railroad Commissioners in opposition to
MT. Leeds appears to the public to be a ease
Of tweedledum aud tweedledee. Mr.. Leeds
shows that freight rates on the transpor
ton of grain are higher here than in Kansas
The Commissioners require him to make a
srecfc complaint, as in lawsuit, so that
they can summon tho railroad TO appear
before them as defendant and tell their side
Of the story. To this he retortS that it is the
duty Of the Commissioners to take official
cOgnizance Of facts which are brought 10
their notice without waiting for a complaint
in form by some one who has been person.
ally wronged.
n this contention it appears to people
generally that Mr.. Leeds is in the right and
the Commissioners in the wrong. In Eng
land the railroad commission is a court 1t
cannot act without plaintiff. and a regular
complaint sworn to and verified; then it
summons the accused railroad to answer,
and it decides the controversy on the evil
dence. In this country railroad commits
sions combine the functions Of executive
officers and judicial officers. They are ap-
pointed to see that railroad charges are fair
and reasonable, and they must take cogni-
zance Of unfairness and unreaSOnableness
when it comes TO their knowledge, either by
personal observation. common report or
specific complaints. The very object OF
their creation was to relieve shippers from
the risks they might incur by provoking the
hostility of a powerful corporation. They
were to step in between the shipper and the
carrier, and to assume the whole response
bility ct adjusting their mutual relations.
Mr. Rea's contention TO the contrary has
merely confirmed the distrust with which
he is popularity regarded.
What the commission has to do with is
the facts. Here is a responsible man of large
experience in railroad matttrs-as to whom
Mr. Rea observes sneeringly that he gets
$4,000 year for trying to do good work
for California, while he-Rea-only gets
$1,000 year for trying to thwart him-who
says that our wheat-growers are paying for
the TRANSPORTATION of their wheat far more
than Kansas wheat-growers are paying.

The morning call., 1892-03-16
WHAT FREIGHTs II CALIFORNIA AND
KANSAS


The table might be indefinitely prolonged
it shows that Oh the average freights are
from TO 10 per cent higher here than they
are in Kansas. And the question arises why
they should be?
The faY0rite excuse OF the railroad used
10 be that labor was SO much higher on this
coast that the company was compelled to
choose between maintaining high rates of
freight or reducing wages. But the census
report exploded that subterfuge. It is
therein shown that while freights are higher
here than in any other part Of the country.
wages of railroad hands are no higher.
The same labor commands about the same
pay here as 1t does in the East And onr
rOads-at least those of them which move
Uheat-are operated at less expense for
repairs than the Eastern roads. because
they have fewer casualties from the weather
10 contend against than the Eastern roads
have. There is no economical reason why
roads should charge more for moving a ton
in California than they do for moving like
ton In Kansas.
The real cause Of the difference is that
Kansas has reached a more advanced stage
in the controversy between shipper a nd
carrier than California has. There the
battle between the people and the railroads
mas Deen so lar fought out that Railro ad
Commissions do their duty between the
two. Here we have never had a Railroad
Commission which has not taken its orders
from Fourth and Townsend, and yet when
ever the election comes round the people
vote for the railroad candidate. There the
people have got the thing down to a point
where all the profit of wheat-grewing does
not go to the carrier; here we are only Just
beginning to awake TO the fact that that is
the case in this State. 1t rests with Mr.
Leeds and his constituents to push the con-
troyersy a step further, until our transpor-
tation problem reaches something like the
stage the same problem has reached in
Kansas. II. in so doing. they crowd the
Railroad Commission TO the wall it will
only be what people have expected, and the
people will contemplate the Commissioners

We notice that THE CALL is not entirely
alone in its efforts to correct some of the
political abuses which have found favor for
several years past through the election of
men to offices who have been pledged to
corporations prior even to their nomina-
tion. In abiding to our California Railroad
Commissioners contemporary publishes
the following:
Every intelligent man In the State is convinced
OF on Thing already, and that is that the Rail-
road commissioners are creatures of the South
ern Pacific, who would no more act in opposition
to the orders OF the company than would any
clerk at Fourth aud Townsend streets.
Prior to election men are hired to go into
conventions and secure the nomination of
candidates who are the Instruments or a
railroad company. 1t has doubtless been a
profitable calling TO work for Mr.. Stanford.

| The board heartily agreed on the subject

nature of the exhibits. He suggested that
the whole State could join in the matter and
after the exhibit ship the entire California

Directors Dorm and Manson to confer with
