TIE SENATE AND THE GREENLEB
RAILROAD BILLS.

Ny DEAR S1R-In our last converse
tion in Lander & Nelson's store in Llnds-
borg, Kas., about the Dunsmore house
maximum rate bill and the Greenlee
bill, you remember that we agreed that
we have been deceived by the old repub-
licsn leaders in the state Of Kansas; that
the mass of the people constituting the
republican party in the state were hon
est; that you stated that all the old ras-
Gals were now turned out, and that the
Douglass house was composed Of honest
men that meant to do well by the people;
that you stated that you fully believed
that Mr.. Douglass was an honest man;
that he intended to do what was right;
that the Greenlee bill was just what we
needed, and that you became mad (iIsH
when that bill did not pass.
You remember that / stated that / did
not know what the Dunsmore bill con-
tanned, neither did | know what the
Greenlee bill contained, but that / knew
the intent of the Dunsmore bill was to
reduce the railroad traffic all over the
state, and to do away with discrimlnR-
tions to favored points. That the intent
of the republicans has always been to de-
cieve the people, and that the intent OF
the Peoples party was to do what is
right and honorable by all equally, dis
eliminating in favor Of none. That l
had not been able to obtain copies OF
either of the bills, therefore could not
Judge, except by general impressions of
past experience. With the knowledge
thereon based, and Judging therefrom, /
had the strongest impression that you,
my friend, Mr.. Stromquist, were deceived,
both in Mr.. Douglass and Mr. Greenlee,
chairman Of the railroad committee.
The kindness in you, Mr.. Stromquist,
in sending me copy OF the Greenlee
bill l have already by card acknowl-
edged; but permit me again to thank
you for 80 great kindness. II you had
been dishonest, as Douglass or Greenlee,
you never would have sent it to me- Per-
NIT me, therefore, to say that a perusal
thereof confirms me in the belief that
you, my friend, have been deceived. Be-
tween you and me, and our common
community, whatever we may say upon
this most important question can only
be q business conversation, since when /
may profit by a reduction in railroad
rates 800, you will profit 5000 and $500
every year; therefore let us be candid
and forget our political affiliations and
proceed to business.
Section ! of the Greenlee bill provides
Qines 4 and 81 that railroad commission
ers shall have power to establish "a
schedule Of reasonable maximum rates.
Upon this proviso / will test your conf
dence in the two men you so highly es-
teem. The interstate commerce law
contains a similar proviso. Upon this
proviso the United States railroad COM
missioners acted. The railroad took the
case to the United States district court,
which court held and decided that the
law was unconstitutional, and that the
commissioners had only advisory pow
ers. Do you think Mr.. Douglass knew
thatP Do you think Mr.. Greenlee knew
thstH II they did not, they were incom-
petent for 80 high trust as the people
put in them. / have a right to assume
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-05-03

The law We have ls good--lacking only
the maximum rate-sRve as already
noted in regard to passenger rates.
But section is @ dandy. We must
remember, Mr.. Stromquist, that what we
complain Of is fsvoritism, discrimination.
Where, for instance, one merchant, be-
ing big trader, orders large quantities,
can get his rates below smaller trader,
who orders a smaller quantity to the
same place. By now in rates fsvoring
the larger quantity as against the smaller
quantity, the greater merchant has
it in his power to hurt the smaller mer-
chant. / do not know that this system
exists at present. 1t did exist before
1883, when our present railroad law took
effect. But discrimination exists now
between different places in the state.
That you know. But section 8 actually
authorizes determinations between qusn-
titles. 1t would be good section il it
did not qualify every stringent enact
ment by the words "ot like quantity" I"
That is to say, it prohibits discrimina-
tions between some points Of like dis
tsnce upon some kind of goods, etc, but
then always qualities it by the words
"like quantity" Lines 9 and 10 provide
for same class of goods and quantity.
Line Is again "of like quantity" Line
21, "like quantity" again, line 25, "of a
like quantity" Consequently under this
section, if the quantity is different by 100
pounds to any place, this law authorizes
fsvoritism and gives right to discrimins-
tions, something which our present law
aims to prohibit.
On line So of section begins the pro-
Viso: "Thst nothing in this act shall be
construed as prohibiting the making Of
rates by two or more railroad companies
for the transportation of property over
two or more Of their respective lines Of
railroad within this state; and less
charge by each Of said railroad compR-
MES for it's portion ofsuch shipment than
it charges for shipment for the same
distance wholly over its own line within
the state shall not be considered a viola
ton Of this act, and shall not render
such railroad company liable to any
penalty therein provided" This proviso
nullifes all that is intended Gf anything
at all ever was intended) by this act.
Now, suppose that two railroads run.
ming between two given points in the
state-for instance, Kansas City and
Wichita, Kansas City and Emporia, or
any other places for that matter. Now,
somewhere in the state between the two
given points they Cross one another and
make junction. Now, suppose the roads
desire to favor some point on these two
roads in preference to some other point
where, for instance, the people manifest
little independence as American citi-
zens. The road can build up the favored
point and depress the unfavored point,
because the law authorizes two roads or
more to combine and lower rates by
shifting the haul. Say one road will
haul to the first junction, then switch it
on to the other road, which will then
finish the haul. The other road then
again will reciprocste and haul to the
first junction, and the first road then
finish the haul. By this shift the roads

After Physicians Failed, Hoods
SSrsGpGrtIIG Perfectly Cured.
Great mental agony is endured by
parents who see their children suffering
from diseases caused by impure blood, and
for which there seems no cure. This is
turned to joy when Hoods Sarsaparilla is
resorted to, for it expels the foul humors
from the blood, and restores the, dis
eased skin to fresh, healthy brightness.
Read the following from grateful parents
"To G. 1. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass:
"We think Hoods Sarsaparilla is the most
valuable medicine on the market for blood and
skin diseases. Our two children suffered terri
bly, with the
Worst Form Of Eczema
for two years. We had three physicians In
that time, but neither of them succeeded in
curing them or even In giving them little
relief. AT last we tried Hoods SarSaparilla
and in q month both children were PeP~
feCtly cured. We recommend
Hoods SarsapariIla
as a standard family medicine, and would not
be without it," MR.. and MRS. M. M. SoLLER,

A Bank With Liabilities Over II Million
and No Assets.
LINCOLN. Neb.. Feb. 23.-Another lot of
forged papers, aRgregating $500. 900, was
brought to light in the Capital National
bank case. One batch of notes. now in The
hands of attorneys for collection for east
ern banks, amounting to $4,000, was
signed by an ex-employe named Mosher.
endorsed BY Mosher ~ president of the
Capital National bank. toated by Mosher
and the money sequestered by him.
Mosher admits that he got the cash but
refuses to say where any of it went. 1t is
now stated by conservative men who are
intimate with the affairs of the institution
that the banks liabilities will exceed ST..
. 10000. with assets practically nothing.
Mosher admits that his efforts to raise
money to settle the shortage failed. IL Is
not expected the bank will pay to exceed 10
cents on the dollar. 1t has also come out
that the amount of county and city funds
on deposit was greatly in excess Of what
was first given out. and the treasurer is ac-
cordingly greatly concerned. In the lsgis-
lature to-day a resolution ordering imme-
diate steps to be taken to protect the state
passed.
