WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. l2. 81.
1t may bs positively stated that
the forthcoming decision o! the Su-
preme Court in the case Of the state
Board Of Transportation. Of Nebras-
IA, VI. the Uaion Pacific Railroad
Company ct al, will bs in favor OF
the defendants. The decision will

that dissenting opinions will be filed.

ion case.
The case grew out of an act passed
by the Legislature Of Nebraska in 90,
which, among other things, fixed the
maximum rate TO be charged BY rail
roads for the transportation of
freight within that State. The rail-
roads, headed by tho Union Pacific
Company got an injunction against
tho State Board of transportation
from executing the provisions Of the
law, alleging, among other things,
that the rates established by Law were
not sufficient to maintain the roads
When the case was tried by the
Supreme Court last April, the State
Board of Transportation showed that
the rate established was not Insult
cient to maintain the railroad lines.
Owing to the questions involved
the case attracted great attention,
and aroused great interest among the
railroads.
1t will be remembered that the
Hon. w. J. Bryan appeared among
others as counsel for the State Boart
of Transportation, when the case wal
heard by the Supreme Court, and
made a powerful argument in favo,
of the rate established.

When Mr.. Cleveland became Pres
ident the first time, ex-Senator Ross,
formerly of Kansas, was . type-set-
ter on . New Mexico paper and was
very poor. One day, while setting up
list of presidential appointments.
the old printer, whose family had
been scantily clad and fed for some
time, got to thinking Of his past good
fortune. He said to himself: "The
last Democratic President va. saved

several times but for that act. As il

The next day his application and
the letters Of several in fl fuential Dem

old printer another "take" Of pres

last week sll of the librarians report
ed q need CT more books for children
and it developed that in many OF th'
families the young people, who Ar

EDITOR CArCAsIAN:-lt is not due
the Railroad Commissioners to give
them any credit whatever for reduc-
ing tho rate on cotton. In fact what
they did proves, l think, conclusive-
ly thay are for tho Railroads.
In taking the rates eff at some pla-
ces they fixed it so the railroads can
put it on at others, about equalizing
the thing. Cotton from Nsuse, ten
miles to Raleigh, has only bsen sew
on cents; this worthy Commissions
put rates for ten miles at 9 cents.
The Governor is to be highly COM
mended for his course, for he has
disposed of two very unworthys, and
l hope he will do something with the
penitentiary.

Consul Monaghin at Chemni,z
Germany, has sent to the State de.
partment . report on Prussian rail-
roads.
Estate ownership of railroads, he
says, plays an important part in
Prussia's finances. Earning enorm
ous sums, serving commerce and man
ufaetures in time Of peace and for
all strategic purposes in times of
war, they have more than justified
the arguments that urged the gov.
ernment to own them and the lib.
eral policies that have put them
down and pushed them out into all
parts of the empire
The receipts for 1857 have gone
beyond the estimate of the budget
Of .O20 .692 100 marks, and the esti-
mate for 1879 is 1,IIO,2lO $50
marks, while the total income of the
kingdom is only slightly more than
1000 10000 marks. After giving
statistics in some detail the consul
continues:
"No other branch of public prop
erty pays 80 surely and 80 we'll. Ger
tainty Of tho receipts, their sizs, the
ease with which they are obtained,
their cash character, render them
the most useful of all NOR eys turned
into the public treasury. How sue
cessfully they are run in other re-
spscts, whether better than they
would have bsen under private own
ership, it is hard to say. The State
has its hands on the road,
from the very beginning. See.
ing how successfully they would
aid armies and also how nee
essary they would be in tho dc.
velopment of the empire, Prussis
did n 1t hesita'e to take the rail
roads over to the State. Their qua:
public character has helped the peo
pie to understand that they should
be controlled, at sast, if not owned
by the State.
"The tendency all over the en-
pire is toward State and city owner
ship of all kinds Of transportation
facilities as we'll as of telegraphs
telephones and other means of co N
munication."
