The State has won the railroad cases
in the Supreme Court in the prelimi-
nary skirmish. The only question
decided, as we understand it, is that
the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction
because the amount involved in each
case taken up was less than $1,000.
The decision does not touch the merits
of the case at all.
There should be and can be no jubi-
lation over the decision, even on the
part Of those who favor the Admins
tration. Ali persoas who have an ap-
probation of fairness and justice want
to see the railroads dealt justly with.
The question is, or should be, have the
assessments Of the railroad property
been unequal as compared with the
valuation placed on other property?
That is the question that should be
determined. If the assessment Of this
property is on par with other proper
ty, then the railroads should pay their
taxes; and if they will not, then they
should be made to. If it is not on a
par with other property, then they
should not be made to pay this extra
tax. And no one who has a spark of
fairness and impartiality left in him
would want to see them pay more than
their proportion of taxes.
Every class Of property should be
made to pay its proportion of taxation,
and no more.
Equal rights to all; special privi-
leges to none," however, has come to
be more Of slogan for the stump and
to fool the people with than to put in
practice.
The State cannot gain any good in
the end by an effort to oppress any
class of property. Things have been
run too long already on plane of pref
udice. Let US do exact justice to all
persons and all property, and matters
will soon get in much better condition.

TIE RAILROAD TAX CASES.
The Supreme Court OF the United States
Cuts the Matter Short by Declaring
that it has no Jurisdiction over
the Matter.
fSnecial TO the News Courier

WASHINGTON, January 12.-During
the argument of the South Carolina
cases in the Supreme Court to-day
Chief Justice Fuller stopped the coun-
sci for the railroads with the announce
ment that the Court has no jurisdiction
in the case. This was great surprise
to the array of counsel present repre-
senting the railroads and the State au-
thorities, and the decision of the Court
will probably cause the Tillmanites to
rejoice, for it is y justification to GER
tain extent oftheir methods Of taxation.
The Chief Justice stated, how ever,
that the. Court was not prepared to go
into the merits of the case, but Was
convinced that the Court has nojuris-
diction, and therefore further srgu-
ment would be unnecessary. The
sudden termination of the argument,
after the counsel had been detained
here since last Friday, occasioued con-
siderable Disappointment, especially
among the railroad men,.
Mr.. Lord opened the argument on
behalf of the State authorities, and

Smith proceeded to present the argu-

certain members Of the Court piled Mr..

doubted its Jurisdiction to deal with
the question involved. After Mr..
Smith finished his argument Mr.. Fitz-
simmonsalso representing the railroads,
began to supplement- and reinforce the
statements made by Mr.. Smith. In the
midst of this argument the Chief
Justice held a whispered consultation
with his Associates and then announced
that the Court Gid not care to hear
further argument, as it was, clearly OF
the opinion that it had no Jurisdiction
to consider the case.

situation in South Carolina with Mi.
Cleveland. He went last Friday by
appointment with Ex-Governor Hugh.

Mr.. Hemphill did not know any
thing of Senator's Irby's contemplated
visit to Mr.. Cleveland when he started
for New York, but, as it turned out,
the former was several days ahead OF
the. Senator and probably told MIR.
Cleveland all that was worth knowing
SO far as South Carolina is concerned:
In referring to his visit Mr.. Hemphill
saws he had more than an hours con-
versation with Mr.. Cleveland, and
during that time the political situation
in South Carolina was freely, discussed.
Mr.. Cleveland displayed keen interest
i'm the affairs of the State, as he proo-
ably remem bered the able assistance ne

State. The action Of the Court to-day
practically reyerses the decision OF tne
Court below, which was I'D favor OF cns
railroads. Those who are familiar WHO
the practice of the Supreme Court say
that the announcement OF the tnlel
Justice that the refusal to hear further
argument without passing upon the

CoLuMRIA, January 13.-There was
considerable surprise and great rejoicing
in the State House this morning over
the announcement in The News ana
Courier that the United States Supreme
Court had thrown out the famous rail-
road tax cases. The first news OF the
Court's position came through Inc
News and Courier and was welcome
New Years gift to the mainstays OF the
Administration. Governor ililnan
read copgratulatory telegram 10 tne
newspaper "boys" and was as nappy as
be has been in months. When asheo
what he thought about the present
outlook he replied that it was hardly
any use for the railroads to klck after
their heads had been cut off. He hardly
had any idea that there would be any
further litigation about the matter ana
thought that the railroads would no"
gracefully submit to the ,lnevItanie. F.
TOWNSEND NOT so sANGUINE.
Attorney General Townsend was
brirn full of good humor and expressed
his delight at the decision, although ne
did not vet exactly know what bearing
the forthcoming decision would have
on the other cases. Major Townsend
said that the first news he had of the
matter was through the columns of
The News and Courier. he dla not
exactly know what questions OF Jurls-
diction would be decided. The result
of the pending cases would depend ne
thought entirely on the text OF the
decision.
A RAILROAD MANS VIEW.
Mr.. J. r. Barron, general counsel OF
the Atlantic Coast Line, who was IN
Washington attending the hearing,
said that it was mere guess work TO say
whether the forthcoming decision
would settle the cases or not. The deci-
sion may only be upon the question OF
jurisdiction in the two cases presented.
It is expected here that the decision IN
the case will be announced ia the next
few days.
