An IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Inter State Commerce Commission
decision. may possibly have an important
bearing upon traffic aud passenger rates
in this State. The substance Of the de-
cision is that railroads cannot charge less
for a long haul between competitive
points than for shorter one on the same
line to points non-eompetisive when the
competition is between carriers subject
to the provisions Of the Interstate Com.
merce law. This rides out the question
Of competition between Ines Of railway,
and narrows the limits within which the
different roads Of the country have been
granting terminal rates.
The case decided was one 10 which
certain eastern railroads charged less for
carrying freight from Cincinnati and
other points upon the Ohio river to GER
tain southern cities through which other
competitive lines passed than for the
short haul when leaving freight at inter
mediate points through which no compel.
ing line passed.
The case is paralelled In this State.
There Is not . competitive town in Ne.
vada because bu. q single trsns-conti-
mental railroad traverses the State. The
nearest competitive towns are San Fran.
cisco, which to ell intents and purposes
is the terminus, not only Of the Central
Pacific, but OF the Southern, Northern
and Canadian Pacific trans continental
lines. and Ogden which is the terminus
OF the Denver & Rio Graude and Union
Pacific lines. Freight shipped from the
east to Ogden has the benefit Of the com
petition between the d. & r. G. and the
U. P. railroads. Freight shipped TO San
Francisco has likewise the benefit Of the
competition between the s. p, c. p, N.
p. and Canadian Pacific railroads. But
freigh. shipped 10 intermediate points
between Ogden and San Francisco has
she benefit Of no competitive rates be-
cause but one trans-continental line
passes through these points.
The decision Of the Commission is that
carriers shall not charge q higher tariff
for any intermediate point between two
competitive points than for freight o u
signed from the same place to more dis
sant yet competitive points.
L. would seem then that under the de.
cision a higher tariff could not be i'm
posed upon freight shipped from eastern
points to Reno than that charged to the
more distant but competitive point Of
San Francisco.-Repo Journal.

ADVICE.

At the annual session OF the Knights
OF Labor, held recently in St. Louis,
General Master Workman Powderly de-
clared that too many labor organizations
were struggling for supremacy. The
tendency Of the labor movement seemed
to be to divide up, while that Of the OPP
posing force, capital, was to consolidate
and thereby gain strength in the eight
against industry. The result was that
labor was beaten in detachments. Some
thing must be done to remedy this.
There existed no reason why every
branch Of toll should not be enrolled
under the shield Of the Knights Of La
Dor.
The speaker congratulated the orgsni-
zation on the gratifying results Of the
ballot reform, i~naugurated by the gen.
eral assembly only . few years ago.
Then no State had the reform ballot sys-
TEN. Now a secret ballot law 10 In force
in thirty States. In this connection
Powderly recommended that no person
be allowed TO vote who could not read
his ballot, for the reason that such person
was at the mercy Of the person admitted
to the booth with him to assist him in
making up bis vote. His suggestion was
that at q future date, say five years, be
fixed on for such law TO go into force in
order to give all an opportunity to learn
to read. In view Of the multiplicity oil
laws, national. state and municipal. be-
ing enacted, he suggested that all should
be submitted to the people for agitation
and discussion before being adopted, and
cited the rapid progress Of Switzerland
toward ideal Democracy, and asked ths.
a committee be appointed to prepare 3
plan on which the agitation of the plan
may be carried on during the coming
year.

to discuss one Of the gravest and most
complex problems modern society ever
had TO face" He extended in the name
OF the Belgian Government q most cor
dial welcome to the delegates. After re-
ferring to monetary crises during the
past century Beernaert said ii was in the
direction OF an international understand
ing that a solution Of the monetary ques-
ton was now sought. This. he added,
was in accordance with the law Of pro
gress.
Numerous such understandings had
already been arrived at for the regula-
ton of the common interests Of the
world, in regard to telegraphs, railways,
weights, measures. and why should moi
the same course be followed in the case
Of money, 1t was fitting that the delib'
erations Of the conference should take
place on the soil of . country belonging
to the Latin Union, but it was for dele
gates of the United States to put for

explain how 1t was proposed to carry
these views into effect.

Belgium, replied In q few formal words

distress and discomfort. II the Demo

action as TO the tariff will largely de.
pend on the action Of the Eastern and
Middle States regarding the money ques
ton. 1 am opposed to that system Of
protection which protects the manufsc-
sured products Of the eastern States by a
tariff and their accumulated stocks OF
money by closing the silver mines and
totally ~disregsrds western interests. The
manufacturers must emancips.e them
selves from the domination Of the gold
trust if they want western support. We
propose to have reeiprosisy in legislation.
The manufacture Of domestic money
from our silver mines should take the
place OF borrowing foreign gold"

DOUGLASS ON THE ELECTION.

Fred Douglass, the venerable oolored
statesman, has received so many inquiries
since the election from members Of the
colored race, who are anxious to learn
his views as to the probable effect Of the
Democratic accession to power that he
has put an answer in the form OF q
printed circular in Washington City.
He expresses the opinion that those
persons who apprehend a violent change
for the worse, both In the general condi-
tion Of the country and that Of the
colored people in the North and South,
will find themselver sgreeably surprised
by the little difference which the change
OF administration will make.
There will, he thinks. be made by the
new administration no disastrous assault
upon the enterprise. industry and welfare
Of the country. The Democrats will en-
deavor to overhaul the tariff, and in some
cases changes will be made, but the prin.
ciple Of protection will be neither ig-
nored nor abandoned.
As to the effect of the election OF
Cleveland upon the condition Of the
colored people in the South, Mr.. Doug
lass says he is free to say that he has his
fears "a we'll as his hopes.
"One thing, he says, "that l may
with safety say is this, that it will be
very hard to make the condition in the
South much worse than it Is now and
has been during the present adminsstrs.
tion."

No matter how much we may dislike
Mr.. Clevelsnd's views on the silver ques.
tion, there is no disputing the fact that
he is . man Of strong convictions. and
has the courage to assert them, which,
when honestly done, lie to be admired.
At a meeting at the residence Of the
President.elect of leading politicians,
shortly after the election, Mr.. Cleveland
used the following foroible language:
81 am under no obligations to Tammany
Hall or any other organizations for my
election, he said, "and l do not pro-
pose to be dictated to by anybody.
New York State did not choose me Pres
ident of the United States; hence l can
get along as we'll without further advice
from that quarter. Now that / am
President it is my intention to be the
head Of this nation In reality, and will
not permit any dictation as to my future
actions"

Senator Stewart Of Nevada has a plan
by which the usefulness Of the Miners
Association could be greately extended.
He wants Nevada and other mining
States to form like associations, and then
effect a consolidation with the California
association, the new organization to be
called the Miners Association Of the
Pacific Coast. This would bring the
hydraulic miners and the silver miners
closer together, and each would work for
the other, making mining a common
cause. 1t would give US great power,
and it is a plan worth considering Reno

THE NEW PARTY.

In the excitement and disappointment

seems to have been overlooked. IL is
well enough TO rememberthat that or

not a few intelligent people who expect
that the Republican party is about ready
