High water Looked For.

Wheeling Register.
The weather indications last night
were for snow or rain today, with
chances favoring the latter. If a
heavy rain or thaw comes within the
next few days, the result cannot he
anything but big river. The snow
fell several hours yesterday, starting
between three and four o'clock. There
are some circumstances under which
the public, especially that portion of
the public who reside on low land do
not appreciate "the beautiful" and
just now there does not appear to be
any especial ''hankering" for more
snow. In fact the situation is viewed
by many persons with alarm, although
there appears to be no reason for this
at present.
There is great quantity of snow in
the hills and mountains along the
headwaters, and if it goes off at once,
the river will be bank full within a
short time. The stage at Wheel
ing last night was feet 3 inches.
This is not high, but it is a good foun-
dation for first class freshet The
situation is somewhat complicated by
the gorge at Parker, in the Allegheny
river, where the water rose s inches on
Saturday.
AS precautionary measure, several
Wheeling merchants have counter
manded' orders for goods which are not
needed Immediately, but would be
stored in cellars. 1t does not take a
big river to ca1se the water to back
up through the sewers into the cellars
of Main street business houses.

lioans would be practically unanimous
In their support of it. "The administra
tion," he said, twas elected by the bank
ers, and they will own it. Being in tho
banking business themselves, they nat
urally want the government to retire
from it, They will retire the green
backs, and then we will be ready to ad-

undertake to give the country more
money by amending the National bank

These will be banks Of issue, and there

Referring to affairs here in Kansas,
Mr.. Simpson expressed the opinion that
Mr., Leedy's administration would be a
disappointment to his critics, and tina
the Legislature would enact conserva-
tive laws 1t too conservative, possibly.
He believed in finding out what the
other fellows wanted and then giving

Ex-COnsul r. W. Turner Tells AbOut that
COuntry's Condition.

r. w. Turner, the well-known silver
Republican, who was Consul to Cadiz,
Spain, during Mr.. Harrison's administra-
ton, has some ideas of his own about the
probability Of war with Spain, and the
conditions Of that country. AS he p-ob.
ably knows more about it than any
other man in Kansas, his ideas Of the
matter will interest readers. BE says:
81 don't think there is any danger Of a
war with Spain, That country has all
she can do to fight the insurgents in
Cuba. In time Of peace the government
has had to borrow money to pay the in
tersst on their public debt and the peo-
pie are taxed to the utmost now; they
simply cannot pay any more taxes. They
have a high tariff, duty on exports in
some cases, an occupation tax, land
tax, and then they have municipal tax
that amounts TO tariff between differ
ent cities in the same country. Besides
the country is simply honeyoombsd
with republicanism. II there should be
war with the United States and any
more soldiers should be sent over to this
country there would be q chance Of a
revolution at home. If the soldiers
were withdrawn from Cuba to fight this
country the Cubans would win and Spain
knows it. They could not afford to de-
clare war, and l don't think they will"

Jerry,s View Of the Future.

In an interview at Topeka recently
Jerry Simpson said:
without helping the friends of the
administration our fellows will not seek
to block their schemes except in ex-
pressing our opposition Of their theories
Of tariff and of finance. We will give them
their own way, certain that their reme-
dies will not cure existing evils. But
the people have voted for change, and
it is the duty Of the minority to submit.
In 1898 times will be even worse than
now, and the Congress to be chosen then
will be opposed to the administration,
and four years from now the man who
will be elected President will not be a
Republican"
Asked if he thought the new tariff bill
would be q return to the Mckinley law,
Mr.. Simpson said: "Thst fight will
come up, and the Republicans will
wFangle among themselves. The result
will be some modification Of the present
Wilson law. It will be given q new
name; that will be all. The fact is, the
manufacturers are working under a good
tariff law now. They are getting free
raw material, cheap raw material, aud
the tariff on manufactured goods is suf-
ficient to protect them against importa-
tions. Therefore the East especially
will oppose q return to McKinleyism.
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and such States
will make fight for q high tariff, but
they are fighting only to be consistent
with their campaign promises. They
will be glad when the opportunity comes
for them 10 let CO.

Judge DennlsOn for Senator.

The southern and western portion Of
the State is entitled to United States
Senator, The groundsfor this claim are
manifold, This section gave the largest
pro rata vote for the success Of the
State and legislative ticket. This is
political reason, but it should have
weight.
The northeast and central portion Of
the State furnished the bulk Of the Re-
publican vote, Topeka particularly Civ
ing quite round Republican majority.
1t certainly would not be wise to select
Senator from among her citizens.
Again, that section of the State has
held the position OF Senator for years.
Atchison, Leavenworth, Topeka and
Emporis have furnished Senators since
the State was organized. Isn't it about
time to recognize the great south and
west?
While the Beacon has no claim TO
offer for Wichita in particular, IL takes
pleasure in suggesting that Judge Denni-
son Of Butler county is neighbor whom
Sedgwick county respects. The selec-
tion Of Judge Dennison would be hailed
with delight by the entire south and
southwest as a compliment.
In addition TO these geographical and
political reasons, the Beacon believes
that Judge Dennison 10 well equipped
for the place. He Is conservative, but
brave; is mentally strong and is in full
sympathy with the majority sentiment

KANSAS RAILROADS.


cusses Conditions and Needed Legislation.
The fourteenth annual report Of the
Board Of Railroad Commissioners con
tains a good deal of matter Of interest
After discussing the question of fed
erRl railroad legislation at some length
the report says: Authority to comps
joint action by railways is lacking
Government supervision over the max
ing of rate sheets and laws compelling
their observance by carriers, unless ex.
cussd by government authority, are
needed. The privilege Of making traffic
agreements which can be enforced iE
denied by present laws, and thereby il
permitted-if not invited-a railway
policy which is productive Of unjust
discrimination among commercial inter
ests. The fault is not always with rail
ways. Combinations Of commercial
interests at large trade centers not in
frequently, by threatening withdrawal Of
business, induce railways to violate
traffic agreements, In order that they
may obtain advantages over like COM
meUcial interests of rival towns, and in
other ways rival commercial interests
are influential in producing disturbances.
From these disturbances rate wars often
result, bringing injury both to the rail
ways and the general public. That the
present state of things can be new
modelled upon the instant no one will
contend. The conflicting interests of
railways, Of inland markets, of seaboard
markets, Of jobbing towns, of large and
small shippers, etc, preclude an adjust
ment at one sweep. The end desired
can be reached only step by step, in
orderly development, and that it must
come through additional legislation is
apparent.
"Under present conditions, the States
have control of commerce between points
within their respective boundaries, but
Congress alone has power to regulate
that commerce which is interstate. The
percentages of intrRstate and interstate
commerce, which together make the total
commerce carried over rallwayswithin the
States respectively, vary in the different
States. No method has yet been devised
whereby exact information as to the
volume of each kind Of commerce can be
had 1t is estimated that, Of the total COM
merce carried by Kansas railways within
the State, 10 per cent. is intrastate and
80 per cent. is interstate. This being q
fact, it becomes at once apparent that
State legislation can affect directly only
one-tenth Of the traffic over the railways
within the State, and that the people
Of Kansas must rely chiefly upon legisla-
tion by Congress for protection to their
interests.
On the subject Of State railroad legisla-
tion the board, after renewing its recon-
mendations Of year ago, says: "Ths
board is firm in the belief that maximum
rate laws, pro rata freight laws, equal
mileage laws, or other laws Of like In
tIsxible character, would be entirely out
The advocate., 1896-12-30

of harmony with present conditions, and
would be detrimental, instead Of bene-
fetal, to the public welfare. The rela-
tions Of the interests concerned in
commerce are constantly changing, re-
sulting oftentimes in antagonisms,
thereby making necessary a flexible
system OF regulation which may respond
quickly to the equitable demands Of
sggrieVed interests, whether they be the
railway and public interests in opposition
or the constituent parts Of either Of these
general interests warning among them
selves Remedies for injuries would be
vainly sought if the conditions producing
them prevailed under an arbitrary, ine-
lastic system of regulation.
"The conclusion is unavoidable that
the tribunal charged with the duty Of
regulating the transportation Of COM
merce should have power to hear and
determine all controversies, under such
rules and regulations and rights Of
appeal as will secure to property interests
that protection which is guaranteed by
constitutional provisions.
'The present members are fully aware
Of the grave responsibility that would be
devolved upon the board should it's
power, be increased as suggested, and they
desire to reafirm with special emphasis
the proposition that no such increase Of
power should be given unless the law
pertaining to the organization Of the
board shall be so changed as to insure
rotation in the terms of Office of the
members Of the board, and also to per-
NIT the removal of the members for
cause only. So long as the law permits
an incoming State administration to re-
move the entire membership, upon the
theory that the positions upon the
board are political only, and are to be
treated as party 'spOils,' so long will the
usefulness OF the board to the people of
the State be impaired. II there is any
position in the State, aside from the
higher courts, where the interests Of the
public demand more fixed, reasonable
tenure Of Office than should be given to
the members Of this board, then the pres
ent members, after nearly two years Of
experience, have failed to comprehend
the true situation and have oVerestimated
the Importance Of 30 constituting the
board that parties contesting before it
may rest in the belief that their matters
OF difference will be intelligently con-
sidered and equitably adjusted. In or
der to give the railways and the public
the board must be removed
as far as possible from the domain Of
partisan politics, and must be so or
ganized that it shall have upon it at all
times one or more experienced mem
bers."
Under the head, Abandonment of
Roads," the report says; "Among the
varied duties enjoined upon the board
by the provisions Of section 5, chapter
LA, laws Of 1883, is that Of reporting to
the Governor all failures upon the part
Of railroads or transportation companies
TO comply with the terms Of their charters
Or laws OF the State. Special attention
