RADICAL RECOMMENDATIONS.

Iowa Railroad Commissioners Want the
Power They Supposed They Had.
DEs MONIES, Dec. 8.-The annual
report of the Iowa railroad commission
ers, just filed with the governor, makes
some radical recommendations calling
for new legislation to rehabilitate laws
that have been supposed until very re-
Gently to give ample power to the COM
missioners to regulate rates. In the case
of Barris against the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy railway, the Iowa SUI
preme court decided that the rate fixed
by the commissioners was not prima
facie evidence of reasonable rate,
thus in effect holding that all rates are
subject to review by the courts, and
gives the railway companies, the board
thinks, the right to wholly disregard
the commissioners rate.
Would Cause Endless Litigation.
The commissioners regard this as
against the securing of uniform rates,
which was the intent of the law, and
declares it will prevent them from en-
forcing uniform rates, so they cannot
prevent unjust determinations. It
will lead to great confusion in both
freight and passenger business if the
railways are allowed to contest the rea.
sonableness of rates with each shipper,
because juries and courts will not agree
as to the same rate; it will cause null
tiplicity of suits. If such never ending
litigation is unavoidable under the pres
ent law, the commissioners think that
''such legislation should be enacted
whereby the people of the state may be
fully protected in securing reasonable

Mr.. Melville, e Ingalls,. the
President Of the Chesapeake e
Ohio railroad, is very sanguine
that we are on the eve Of an erea
of prosperity Mfr ingalls, is a
close observer and his facilities
for obtaining correct information
are ample. In fact it is a part of
the duties of his position to keep
himself correctly informed re-
garding the material interests of
the country, the state of trade and
commerce and the growing crops.
We may therefore assume that the
statements made by Mr.. Ingalls,
in the dispatch from New York,
which we print this morning, are
entitled to great weight and that
the prospects of a restoration of
prosperity are really good.
It will be observed that Mr..
Ingalls, does not base his rosy
views of the situation on the leg
islation of the Republicans in
Congress, nor on the special nos
trums of the Dingley bill. Like
Ex-Governor Wilson, Mr.. Ingalls,
attributes the improved condi-
lions to natural causes. The
farms are bounteous. There is an
immense wheat crop. Corn and
oats are abundant. The wheat
crops in India, Russia and Argen-
tine are practically failures. This
opens an immense market for our
surplus wheat, and the activity in
that great staple gives stimulus
to all other products of the farm.
We have no doubt that Mr.. In
gals describes the situation cor
rectly. Business is improving,
The almighty God has blessed
the work of the husbandman; the
fields are yielding abundantly;
and when the farmer prospers his
good fortune permeates through
all the arteries of commerce and
shed joy and happiness on smil-
ing land.-C Charleston Gazette.

A million and a half gallons of

daily output of the famous Boiling
Springs in Garrett County, Mary

contaminate the Springs, one
hundred acres of land surrounding
it, are fenced in. In addition, a

that leaves cannot fall into the
water. It is from these extraordi-
nary Springs that Deer Park Ho-

water being piped direct to the

stands at the head and front. Nc
