eally repetition of the decision given by
the United States supreme court in the
Minnesota case. This is, that the commits
sion has no constitutional power to force
down rates below reasonably remuner-
alive basis. and that the court is proper
tribunal to pass upon the question of fact
whether any schedule of rates made by
the commission is remunerative or not.
If railroad commission has constitu-
tional power to make any rates it chooses,
it has power to confscate the property OF
the roads entirely. Unremunerative rates
forced by law or commission amount to
confiscation. This decision brings up with
round turn the anti-railroad crusade in
Texas, organized largely and led by ex-
Senator Reagan. He is chairman Of the
newly-created state railroad commission
and has been supported by the dominant
element in the Democratic party of Texas.

Mr.. Altgeld, the Democratic candidate
for governor of Illinois, has been caught
in an attempt to claim war record which
apparently does not belong to him. He
made the statement that in 1864, when
only Is years old, he enlisted in Company
c, One Hundred and Sixty-fourth Ohio
Volunteers, and that his regiment did
service in Virginia until the close of the
war. Somebody had the curiosity to send
this statement to the Ohio adjutant gener-
ais office with an inquiry as to its truth.
The records were searched, but no such
name a. that Of Altgeld was found.

Junction issued against the roads by Judge
Kiner. at Wichita, to prevent them from adj
vancing the rates or putting in the new rates
on fifth class between the Missouri liver and
the interior Kansas points, was suspended by
Judge Caldwell. TIE rates on the commodi-
ties named IN the tariff which was enjoined,
went into effect immediately and the grocers
were gwen twenty days to file brief against
the permanent dissolution of the injunc-
non. The decision is victory for the Mis-
sour nver roads IN the first bout, and it Is
now thought that the Injunction will never
be made permanent.
The roads are now held in check by the in
junction issued by the Atchison county court,
which will probably be heard soon.

An AmicabIe Settlement.

An Amicable Settlement
TOPEKA, April 5.-The Santa Fe and the
telegraphers' grievance committee, that has
been in session here for a month, reached an
amicable settlement of all differences.
The conference resulted in a read justment
OF salaries all over the line on a basis that is
entirely satisfactory to the operators and dis
patchers. New rules will be PUT in force that
are considered very favorable by the COM
mittee.
Under the old schedule there were num-
Der OF offices receiving $50 and $35 per month
and the petition of telegraphers to establish
a minimum salary of $45 per month was
granted.
Operators receiving over $45 per month
were increased S. and $40 each, except 200
offices. In these minor offices the committee
asked for an advance of $3.50 per month,
which was compromised at 81.
Train dispatchers and chief train dispatch
ers were allowed an advance of SIS per month,
making the salaries of the former $40 and
the latter $145. Thus it will be seen that every
Santa Fe telegrapher will receive an increase
of salary of from 81 to so per month, and
$50, 900 more per annum will be scattered
among the 800 men over the 4, 500 miles of
road.
The rules regulating operators and train
dispatchers were also revised. At stations
where there are more than two operators, ten
hours will constitute days work instead of
twelve, and eight hours will hereafter be a
days work for train dispatchers. All ope-
rators and train dispatchers will be paid Tor
extra time.
The grievance committee feel very kindly
towards General Manager Robinson and Gen.
eral Superintendent Nickerson for the cour-
teous treatment they have received, and they
are perfectly satisfied with the result of the
meeting.

NEW Yozx, April Ar. g. Dun & Co. e
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The business outlook is improving. There
has come a distinct increase in marketing of
manufactured products and greater activity
In many lines of domestic trade. This is in
part due to more favorable weather in most
sections and the improved condition of coun-
try roads, and to the prospects Of an early
spring.
Manufacturers are doing very well. Prob
ably cotton manufacturers have not turned
out as great quantity of goods at any other
time as they have this year thus far, with less
accumulation of their products in the hands
OF the manufacturers or wholesale dealers.
The distribution has been remarkably large.
and the result of trade generally satisfactory.
wooden manufacture also shows in the list of
improvement in some branches. The boot
and shoe business is also increasing and ac-
tive shipments are now exceeding last years.
the orders being large and urgent.
Reports from cities are generally encourag-
ing. Speculation during the week has not
bsen active. Wheat declined 2X cents, corn
~ cents and pork 25 cents per barrel The
decline in wheat is mainly due to shrinkage
in the foreign demand and western receipts
continuing large. As the new crop draws
nearer, and the prospect is that it will be
very large, prices naturally tend downward.
The money markets here and throughout
the country are abundantly supplied and
there is no sense of anxiety manifested in
any quarter.
