SEIZURE OF THE WIRES.
A Probability That Tillman Violated
the Federal Law.

Washington, April s.-Gov Tiuman's
reported statements that news is not
commerce and that the Interstate com
merce law has nothing to do with IT, has
directed attention to a decision rendered
by majority Of the supreme
court in 1877, bearing indirectly
on this subject AT that time
Chief Justice Waite, in delivering
the opinion Of the court held "That since
the case of Gibbons vs.. Ogden, it has
never been doubted that commercial in
tercourse Is an element of commerce
which comes within the regulating power
of congress"
The question at issue was in the case of
the Pensacola Telegraph Company VS. the
Western Union Telegraph Company; the
former company, which had the exclusive
right to establish and maintain telegraph
lines in certain counties in Florida,
and sought to enjoin the latter COM
pany from using the right OF way
Of the Pensacola and Louisville
Railroad company, which had been
granted to it to erect competing tele-
graph line on account of the alleged ex-
elusive right of the Pensacola Telegraph
Company under its charter. Upon the
hearing, a decree was passed dismissing
the bill, and an appeal was taken TO the
supreme court.
DECISION OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE.
The chief justice, in the course Of his
opinion, held as follows: Both commerce
and the postal service are placed within
the power of congress, because being
national in their operation, they should be
under the protecting care OF the national
government. The powers thus granted
are not confined to the instrument
talities of commerce or the postal
service known, or in use when the consti-
tuition was adopted, but they keep pace
with the progress Of the country and
adapt themselves to the new develop
ments OF time and circumstances.
They extend from the horse
with it's rider, TO the stage coach,
from the sailing vessel to the steamboat,
from the coach and steamboat to the
railroad and from the railroad to the
telegraph, as these new agencies are
successively brought into use to meet the
demands of increasing population and
wealth. They were intended for the
government of the business TO which
they relate, at all times and under all
circumstances. As they were entrusted
10 the general government for the good of
the nation, 1t is not only the right but the
duty of congress to see TO it, that inter-
course among the states and the trans
mission of intelligence are not obstructed
or unnecessarily encountered by state
legislation"

him what would be his position on the

been any doubt heretofore as to how he
will vote his statement should settle any
questioning of his attitude In the future
He said: II shall vote for the bill
as it came from the House, or as
near that as it can possibly be agreed
upon. ! am heartily in favor
of the income tax feature and believe 10
to be the iustest tax which can be i'm
