OF way it would not be seriously con-
tended that the fruiterer had thereby
subjected the prices of his goods to leg

growing potatoes by permission of the
company on its right of way be liable
to legislative regulation of the price of
the product of his labors. If the land
acquired by railway is private prop
erty OF the company, plainly, it can use
1t or permit its use just as any citizen
might use or allow the use of his. The
public nature of the corporation is not
impaired to whatever may be placed on
its land.
The line of demarcation between ele
vatorS subject to state regulation and
those exempt is clear one. and cannot
De obscured. If it is the business of the
elevator, in whole or in part, to receive
for storage the grain OF any person
which may be brought to it, charging a
compensation for the services, it is
proper object of state regulation. If it
is used by its owners for the convenient
conduct of their private business; for
the receipt and storage of the wheat
bought by and belonging to them, then
1t Is as private business as is the mer-
chants or the farmers, or any other
occupation, and is sheltered by the in
herent and inalienable right of men to
their freedom from intermeddling by
the public.
The elevator companies are now send
ing notices TO their agents to refuse
storage, and to only buy grain. This
affords the commission an opportunity
to test the law, and we hope they will
avail themselves of it.

REPEAL is POpUL4R.

What may be termed tie ''repealers"
seem to be showing considerable
strength on the opening day of the spe-
cial session of congress. 1t is evident
already that the free coinage advocates
who have banked to any extent on Min.
neSota have reckoned without their
host. Senator WAsHBURN and Con-
gresham LOREN FLETCHER hasten to
place themselves on record as favoring
unconditional repeal of the SHERMAN
act. Mir. FLETCHER even goes so far as
10 announce his position regardless of
whatever stand President CLEVELAND
may take upon the question. In thus
directly Offering to antagonize SUPPOSE
titious opposition OH the part of the pres
ident Mr.. FLETCHER displays an ingen-
uousness that is peculiarly refreshing, if
not strictly and politically conventional.
Turning to North Dakota, we are con-
fidentiy assured by Senator WAsHBURN
peal. CAREY, of Wyoming, is also
listed by Mr.. WAsHBURN as one i'll
favor of the same object. This last ac-
cession, if so it prove, is certainly
wide breach IN free silver defenSes; for
along with Colorado. Montana. Nevada
and Oregon, Wyoming has always been
claimed as solid against repeal. At
all events. the house can be safely
claimed as in favor of repeal 10y good
majority. The great battle will be
fought in the senate.

If Speaker Crisp does not expect

upon the speaker as far as the house is
concerned Philadelphia Press.
There are some newspapers disposed
to complain because Judge Crisp re-

Called into special session the new
house is to be organized. Mr.. Crisp is
without opposition. The national adj
ministration is with him. Since he him
self thus Reimbursed is favored anew
why should he recaSt the committee
chairmanShipS unless where unavod =
able necessity eXiSts?-ChicagO Times.
Speaker Crisp seems anxious to take
time to stir up as much partisan feeling
as possible. He promises to be in no
hurry about anything, and thinks it will
be two weeks before even the COM
| mittees are named. He will doubtless
have opportunities 10 exhibit all the
partisanship he desires before the called
session adjOurns. Inter-Ocean.
The attitude of Speaker Crisp is a
matter of the first importance. The
New York Times is Democratic paper

able work for honest money, and its
Washington correspondent says: 1.-The
impression which has been gathered by
those who have discussed the situation
with MIR. Crisp is that he favors at heart

The greed of the St. Paul real estate

The capitol commission is adopting
exactly the right course in regard to the

THE POINT IN ISSUE

We give else Where this morning a
communication containing quotations
from the statutes of this state and the
decisions of the courts on them, and
other decisions bearing on the general
topic of the control OF the state over
elevators in it. While its purp0Se is
stated to be the contribution to the pub
lie of facts relative to matter of public
interest, its evident drift is to sustain
the theory of the governors bill" that
the state can regulate any grain Gle
yator or warehouse III its limits.
The act of 1S7 IS, enacted at about the
date OF the beginning of the develop
ment of the elevator system in this
state, is valuable as Legislative opinion
that it is the duty Of the railroads to
furnish elevators to the public as nee
essary appliance for the transaction of
that part of their business rs common
carriers, thus sustaining the position of
the Democratic party that this is a
proper and primary function, and that
the true remedy lies in compelling a re-
sumption of the function which they
have abdicated to private persons. The
GLOBE has never had shadow Of
doubt as to the power of the state to
oblige the roads to provide elevators for
grain just as they provide warehouses
for freight or yards for stock.
But the point in issue is not whether
the state can regulate the bus mess of
such elevators as assume public func-
ton inreceiyiug grain and storing it for
a compensation. This was the one point
in issue and determined in Mum VS..
Illinois. which grew out of law passed
by the legislature of that state, fixing
the charges for storing gram at termi-
nal elevators in pursuance of an amend
! ment to the constitution adopted in
| 1870, declaring "all warehouses receiving
| grain for storage for compensation" to
| be public warehouses. No one now
| disputes that proposition, though JUS
tees FIELD and STRONG filed dissent
ing opinions. The point is, whether an
! elevator, standing on the right of way
| of a railway, which does not store grain
for the public, but only that bought by
the owner or his agent on private &C
| count. is subject to this act. which as
| sumes to regulate them. AS the GLOBE
uuueIStduuS TIE position taken, IL Is
that. as railway is quasi-publc cor
poration, therefore an elevator standing
on the right of way, though private
| property, used to transact the private
business of its owners, becomes, by
virtue of its location, imbued with the
| Quasi-publie nature of the railway, and,
like it, subject to regulation by the
state.
The assumption that tie public nat
ure of the railway attaches to the ele-
| vator because it is built on the right of
way of the former is not sustained by
| our supreme court. which held in So
MINI, 402. that the law permitting any
| person TO build an elevator OH the right
of way on payment of 81 annual rental
was unconstitutional because it took

questions, the scene last Saturday
among the worlds fair board of lady

CREDIT VALUE.

There is fundamental inconsistency
in the almost passionate demand of free
silver advocates for greater volume of
currency. The Inconsistency lies in the
fact that no initiation or expansion of
the volume Of currency in this country,
however large, would suffice to transact
the business of the country without
credit.
1t would. doubtless. startle quite
respectable number of free silver dis
ciples TO tell them that in prosperous
times one dollar of actual currency
stands for 81 ,0C0 worth of business. And
yet the statistics of financial agencies,
compared with United States treasury
reports, prove this statement to be a
fact. The credit value of this country
has risen from nothing, in the colonial
days, to at least one thousand to one in
coin currency.
By credit value is meant all value
which attaches to notes, drafts, checks.
bills of exchange, greenbackS. national
notes. government bonds. in fact all
paper bearing upon its face a promise
to pay. This is the wide distinction
between credit and intrinsic values.
The one is simply a promise to pay the
other. Careful and candid investiga-
ton will show us that it is. in reality, a
sharp depreciation in this enormous
bulk of credit value that has brought
upon the country the troublous finan-
cial through which we are now passing.
Nine times out of ten of the prominent
bankers and tinancierS of the
country will admit that there is plenty
of currency in the United States and
millions more on the way from Great
Britain and the continent. Millions of
money is ready in Europe to loan at
low rate of interest OH sound security.
Nothing but the obstruction of our
credit value. loss of confidence in gov
ernment's control OF visionary financial
fanatics. prevents us from enjoying i'm
; mediately a return of that confidence
ana a vast and wonderful increase in
the volume of our credit values. The
country looks to the present special SEES
sion Of congress to restore that conf
dence.
