tana, but passed through and built a
depot upon lands of its own, about
three miles beyond, in order to build
up new town on its land and thereby
enhance its value. Upon appeal to the
supreme court of the United States it
was held that the railway could do this,
although some of the judges dissented
and stated that such power was des-
pOtic and destructive of public rights.
Still-it is the law, made so by the
court of last resort. 1t is well known
that the interstate commerce law is
systematically defed. This has been
shown by recent United States grand
jury at Chicago. But the devices by
which faVoritism may be given to
friends are so numerous and so subtle
that no law can be passed which can
not be eVaded by those whose power in
government is so great.
Government ownership is the only
remedy. The long struggle for rail
road commissions served only to cause
the companies to control a majority of
the commissioners. They have been
able to do this in nearly every state,
and where they cannot do so, they can
resort to the courts to stay the acts of
the commissioners, as has been shown
in the first part of this article.
California is a fair evidence of the
supremacy of railway power over the
constitution, which, in 1879, laid upon
the railroad commissioners the abso.
lutte duty to fix railroad rates and fares
in detail; but the commission has de-
fed the law, and smiles at the Mer
chants Traffic association, which
urges it to proceed to perform the duty
enjoined by law. The legislature has
power to remove them from Office. But
they look to the railroad to prevent the
election of legislature that would
stand by the public. An editorial from
the Examiner, San Francisco, Febru-
ary, 1892, refers to this in language
showing the subversiOn of the state by |
railroad power. The provision of the
California state constitution is as fol-
lows:
"Said commissioners shall have the
power, and it shall be their duty, to es-
tablish rates of charges for the trans
portation Of passengers and freights by
railroad or other transportation COM
psnies."
The editorial quotes this and pro-
ceeds to- say:
Nothing could be clearer than this;
but small thing like the organic law
of the state cannot, in the light of ex
perience, be expected to stand as a bar
against the Southern Pacific having its
own way when it wants it. Had we a
railroad commission composed Of men
inVincible to every influence save their
sense of duty, the railroad company
would defy it in earnest, and who can
doubt what the result of the contest in
the courts would be, should the cOndi-
tions be the same as have hitherto pre-
vailed? Our judges, state and federal,
have already, in many a California
case, taught us that there exists a prin-
ciple higher than any law, organic or
statutory, which will be applied by the
bench when needed. That principle is l
that men who are influential enough to t
make and unmake judges can do as {

bine, by which production is limited
and prices enormously enhanced. The
ownership by government of transpor.
tation lines includes also the express
business, which would in many cases
not exceed One-fOurth the present cost.
The Pacific mail steamship lines would
resume their proper functions, and
subsidies to prevent competition would
cease. Many other advantages might
be enumerated, such as the more
speedy utilization of patents and i'm
prOvements in transportation.
The roads in private hands have
been productive of enormous
destruction to life and limb.

ger. But could a universal or very
extended strike on the railways be SO
handled by the companies as to prevent
for time the loss of tens OF hundreds
of millions of dollars worth Of perish
able products and the prostration of
much businessH These are serious
matters to contemplate, and very prop
erly to be considered in any discussion
of government ownership, where such
thing will not occur. There is no in
stance Of strike in public service, and
very obvious reasons.
Stock gambling is the cause of wide
spread business disasters; produces q
feyerish state of fluctuations, and is
appalling in its moral consequences.
The land is filled with wrecks of hu.
man beings, victims to its idle delu-
sions. Male and female, rich and poor,
all orders of people, are drunken at its
intoxicating shrine. This hsrlot sits a
queen in the Babylon of Wall street,
holding up the golden cup full of
denominations. Now, stock gambling
rose to great height just in proper
tion as the railroad stocks increased
in volume, and eight-tenths Of all stock
gambling is in railroad stocks. While
mining stock would leave a limited field
for this evil, it can safely be claimed
that with government ownership of rail,
roads, by which all railroad stock would
cease to exist, this evil would be so ro.
duced as to effect a mighty reforma-
tion.
But this discussion is already lengthy.
The independent and non-partisan
press is practically unit for govern
ment ownership. Upon the Pacific
coast the Chronicle has repeatedly edi.
torially advocated it. The Examiner
has expressed itself as willing to adopt
this demand, and it may be safely as
serted that a great prepOnderence of
the scientific and intellectual forces of
the country, which have carefully ex-
amined the subject, are favorable to
this solution. The Farmers Alliance
and all great bodies of industrial pro-
ducers show strong majorities for it.
The whole empire of experience and |
reason demand it. BY this means we
may save the nation from the blasting |
and withering railroad corruption, to
which the gigantic interest Of the pri-
Vate companies has brought US. No
device or method can ever control rail
way rates or obtain justice while they
are owned by corporations. National
ownership is the only remedy.

those of railway employees are capable

Cash corn was in good demand, especially for car lots. Prices were Ac per bushe higher.
 Oats were weak and lower. Gossip that early free movement of oats from the country might be expected and the weakness of wheat were the main causes for the decline which occurred. September oats opened at 29c, declined to 27s4c, closing at 277sc. 1Mc un der yesterday. Cash oats W ere lower.

 The news from Liverpool has certainly been disappointing to the bulls and so was a heavy lnfan in southern Texas, where il was much needed, and the fact that Houston received ten bales <a-pew cotton did not tend to strengthen prices. There was more CT less long liquidation of August, but the sellers generally took the latter months, including December. There is a steady demand for spot cotton, but speculation continues very light.
