not all the railroads In Kansas engaged
in interstate commerce? Are they not,
therefore, subject only to Congressional
supervision? and does not that fact pre-
clude the State from interfering In any
way with commerce among the several
States even to the extent Of considering
It's net revenues in determining reason
able compensation on State trafic?
Indeed, 1t Is not outside the range of
possibilities that some day the inter
state railway companies may combine
and try the States right to interfere In
any way with the business Of the roads,
even as to purely local traffic, more es-
pecially such roads as were aided by the
government in the way Of lands granted
to them.
The State, unQuestionably, may build
its own roads and manage them in It's
own way. 1t may authorize an indi-
vidual citizen or a company to construct
a road within the States boundaries, and
may impose any restrictions 1t pleases,
subject only TO the common law rule of
quantum merult. The State cannot con-
stitutiOnally require one OF its citizens,
except in punishment for crime, to per-
form labor or service of any kind for
less compensation than the service is
reasonably worth But the State may
make its own roads and then employ
such help as 1t requires to operate them.
After long and thoughtful study of
the railroad problem, the writer Of this
has come to the conclusion that govern
ment ownership and management Is the
only fair and honest way out Of the OBJ
Vious difficulties now confronting us.

That New Light in Railroad Law.

The State Journal, reproducing rail-
road article from the Chicago Record,
heads it "A New Light"
Commenting on the late decision in
the Nebraska case, the Record quotes
the following paragraph from the opin-
ion of the court:
"If we do not misapprehend counsel,
their argument leads to the conclusion
that the State Of Nebraska could legally
require local freight business to be con-
Quoted even at an actual loss, II the COM
pany earned on it's interstate business
enough to give it just compensation IN
respect of it's entire line and all its busi-
ness, interstate and domestic. We can
not concur in this view. In our Judg-
ment, it must be held that the reason
ableness or unreasonableness OF rates
prescribed by State for the tTanspor-
tation of persons and property wholly
within it's limits must be determined
without reference to the interstate busi-
ness done by the carrier, or the profits
derived from it. The State can not JUS
tify unreasonably low rates for domestic
transportation, considered alone, upon
the ground that the carrier is earning
large profits on its interstate business,
over which, so far as rates are con-
cerned the State has no control. Nor
can the carrier justify unreasonably
high rates on domestic business upon
the ground that 1t will be able only In
that way to meet losses on its Interstate
business. So far as rates Of transporta-
tion are concerned, domestic business
should not be made to bear the losses
on domestic business, nor the latter
the losses on domestic business. 1t
is only rates for the transportation OF
persons and property between points
within the State that the State can pre-
scribe rates not to be exceeded by the
carrier, 1t must do so with reference ex-
clusively 10 what is just and reasonable,
as between the carrier and the public,
In respect of domestic business"
That may be new light, but Ia the
State Journal prepared to say that 1t is
not a correct statement Of law? LIS 1t
not true that our national constitution
has conferred on Congress exclusive
Jurisdiction Of interstate commerce; are

The Right to Interfere.

One nation has the same right to inter-
fere In the affairs Of another that one
family has to meddle with the concerns
of It's neighboT across the way. The
laws of every nation hold its citizens
responsible for the life of any other
person within their presence and power
of assistance. II John stands by as q
witness to the Staying Of James and Of
fers no resistance, he Is held as an &C.
cessory to the killing.
To what extent members OF family
would be held responsible for not try
ing to prevent personal injuries known
to be imminent or actually being In
flicted In another family would depend
on circumstances. But 1t is clear that
in every case of unusual or extreme
cruelty coming directly within the
knowledge Of any person 1t Is the duty
OF such person to give notice to the
proper authorities.
In the matter Of nuisances or c0nta-
gious diseases any person who Ia or may
be affected thereby may lawfully inter
fere to the extent at least OF applying
for protection in such manner as the
law affords Troublesome and difficult
as 1t is to convict jOlntkeepeFs in some
parts Of Kansas, 1t would be easy any
where in the State to secure the abste-
ment of joint on the complaint OF q
family adjoining that II Is a nuisance,
There has never been any question
about the right OF other nations to inter
Rere in the matter Of the Armenian
atrocities, and the Sultan may thank mis-
stars that jealousies Of the powers pre-
vented their agreeing on any plan OF
adjustment.

I'm making these recommendation
am fully alive to the responsibility In

quenCes that may follow. / am, never

1t Is a grevious thing to contemplate the
two great English speaking peoples og
the world as being otherwise than aa
friendly competitors in, the onward
march OF civilization and strenuous and
worthy rivals in all the arts OF peace,
there Is no calamity which a great ma
tion can invite which equals that which
follows supine submission to wrong
and injustice and the consequent loss
OF national self-respect and honor, be-
meath which are shielded and defended a
peoples safety and greatness"
The last words had barely dropped
from the Secretary's lips when the cham
ber's stiffness was broken by applause on
the floor, in which every Senator par
tlcipated, and the galleries took 1t up
and sent echoes through the corridors.
The Venezuelan government had pro-
posed settlement by arbitration, but
that was rejected by her great antago-
mist, and 1t was evident to men who
saw beyond their noses that Her Brit
annie Majesty intended to make Of 1t a
Corinto affair II was then that this
mighty people--the child Of Britain
speaking through It's chief officer, asked
for money to pay the expenses Of COM"
mission to determine for us where that
line lay and then said for us, THAT shall
be the settlement" The people responded
Amen! The appropriation was made,
the commission was appointed and the
matter is to be submitted to peaceful
arbitration.

lifts the people up and makes the world
better.

test left me without a sire"
March 8, 1896, the conference report
on the Cuban resolution was before the
Senate and Mr. Hale spoke upon It, 1t
was expected that the report would be
adopted without discussion, but when the
Maine Senator concluded it was thought
best not to take the vote just then. Here
is a paragraph from his concluding re-
marks:
81 do not believe that this [warl Is
present to us as a near danger; but GER
taInly the events of the last few months
were we'll described by the senior Sena-
tor from Massachusetts [Mr. HOarl in
one of those trenchant phrases with
which he is in the habit Of entertain
ing us when he said that Every morning
somebody feels that he ought to fire
off a loaded cannon against somebody
else.' Out of it believe that the good
sense of the American people will as
sert itself 1t will show that 1t loves
peace--this people-and not war. So,
notwithstanding the danger that / am
trying to avert, Notwithstanding war
stands in my mind as possible danger,
1 believe that we shall come out of 1t
without war, and that there will be for
us that long period of peace and pros
perity that we deserve"
Mr.. Hale lost himself utterly in the
great subject before him and wholly
neglected to inform the Senate and the
country and the world what his personal
courage was equal to in case war did
come.

Politics In War.

That there is such a thing as politics
in war the people of the United States
have had abundant evidence. A great
many of our own people still live who
remember that about the only opposl-
tlon to the Mexican war was based
chiefly on political grounds. And In the
beginning Of the war of the rebellion.
politics entered largely into war coun-
ellis, and for years after the struggle
ended the bleody shirt was standing
argument.
And now, while war talk has not, yet
taken party turn, II Is plainly discernE,
ible that parties are playing for posi-
tion in the political campaign at home
this year and two years from now.
It would probably not be officially re-
sented as a base campaign lie IL ON one
hand 1t were charged that the gold party
would gladly exchange its shibb0leth--..

1t is not long since Great Britain sent
a ship and crew to Guatemala to collect
demand for $4,000 on account Of al
legged ill-treatment Of two British sub
iects who had been there on official bust
ness An attempt was made on the part
Of a few persons in this country to
raise a war cry against the government
and people of Great Britain, but the
authorities at Washington paid no at
tention to these patriotic utterances The
ship lay at anchor the length Of time
necessary to give due notice OF her pres
ence and the object Of her errand. When
the period of notification expired, the
ships officers went ashore, took possess
sion of Corinto, stationed marines on
guard and put discreet persons in the
custom house to receive moneys col
lected till enough had been gathered to
pay the sum demanded.
When all this had been done, the
United States government quietly as
sured the British Ambassador to this
country that we would guarantee the
payment Of our little sisters obligation.
Inside of twepty-four hours thereafter
the warship had left Gautemalan waters,
and most people have forgotten all about
It.. Some inflammatory remarks were
submitted in and out Of Congress and
few editorials were written hot enough
to burn an old-fashioned quill pen. But
there was no great upheaval Of popular
Indignation. There was not enough in
the incident to even build party plat
form on.
But along came trouble between Great
Britain and Venezuela concerning dis
pute over the location Of a boundary
line. Instantly the great republic,
through its President, announced its
policy The country was electrified. A
foeman, II foe 1t be, had appeared worthy
of our attention and respect-a power
whose battle songs are heard around
the world, and the matter In issue,
though not ours to begin with, might
involve a principle we, as a nation,
cherished. The Monroe doctrine was in
quired about SO great was the demand
for information touching the origin and
meaning Of the Monroe doctrine that the
| State department had brief history OF
1t printed and distributed among the
people.
The President, without asking this
Senator or that Congressman's opinion
about the thing to do, advised Congress
of the status of affairs and in brief, i'm
personal language told the country and
the world what the situation required OF
us. He asked a reasonable appropria-
tion to defray the expenses Of a commits
sion that he might appoint to inVesti-
gate the matter in dispute between these
two nations-to do the work for us, for
our information, and to do 1t in so thor
ough, impartial and just O. way as to
challenge the respect and confidence OF
all reasonable men everywhere, and then
stand by that report. Here are the clos
ing words Of that message, dated De-
cember II, 1895:
when such report Is made and ac-
cepted 1t will, in my opinion, be the
duty Of the United States TO resist, by
every means In it's power, as willful
aggression upon It's rights and interests

He begged the District Attorney to
try and have the matter cleared up,
and Mr.. Ryan assured him that nothing
would be left undone to that end, and
he instructed Detective Fisher to fol-
low up the case carefully.
When burglar Davis voluntarily con-
fessed yesterday afternoon to being the
man who burglarized the place, the
District Attorney, Sheriff Johnson and
Detective Fisher, who were present, all
felt as if a load had been lifted off
their shoulders, and rejoiced that jus
tice had been done an honest man
whom circumstances might have sent
to prison.
Davis declares that a certain junk
dealer in Stockton first started him in
the business" by giving him a horse and
wagon and telling him to bring anvils,
tools and harnesses to him
and he would buy them After a sue
cessful trip Davis would drive to with
in two miles of Stockton, and the junk
dealer would go out and meet him. buy
ing the stolen goods then and there
and taking them into Stockton on his
own wagon.
Davis says he became afraid, but that
the dealer promised if he got into
trouble he would help him out
The change in Davis plea has saved
the court at least $500, as many wit
nesses from the country would have had
to be in attendance. This is the result
Of the thorough work done by County
Detective Fisher in procuring evidence
against the prisoner, and Is but one Of
many such instances

ANTICIPATES ANOTHER CALL
ADJUTANT GENERAL BAR
RETTS OPINION.
Thinks the State Will be Able to
Send More Than Her Share
Troops Complimented.

Adjutant General Barrett came up
from the Bay last night for a little
rest
In conversation with a "Record-Un-
ion'' reporter he said: I'VE have done
an immense amount of work in getting
the troops off. Nobody has any concep-
tion Of what it is. and my assistants
have worked over 20 hours a day for
the past two or three weeks, but we
have made 1T count. We have in the
first and second call taken about 5000
troops from this State. There are A
companies of infantry and four of ar
tilIery, besides the Signal Corps men.
Besides these, California has furnished
], 800 to 1000 men, think, to fill UP the
ranks Of the regulars and the regiments
from other States. In all. / think, the
State has furnished nearly 1850 men.
We have the proud distinction Of fur
nishing the first regiment that ever
left this country for a foreign land in
case of war, for the First Regiment of
California Volunteers went with the
first expedition to Manila.
I'VE are also cOmplimented by the
statement that the California troops
are the best equipped of any body of
men that have been sent out. The
Seventh Regiment is considered to be
the best that has ben in camp so far,
and the Eighth is not a whit behind it.
Even the regulars speak in compliment
airy terms of our boys. We have an
excellent standing with Generals Mer-
ritt and Merriam, for our boys have
never done amy kicking and the Gov
ernor sent word to the Government that
we We're ready to turn over for the use
of the regulars any equipments they
wanted.
Eyes, I think there will be another
call within twenty days, and that it
will take all the National Guard re-
manning in California and that Com
pany G of this town will have a chance
to 60 The policy of the Government
is to take, If possible, all the men that
in time of peace have been preparing
for war, and put them to USE No, l
do not think Sacramento has been un-
justly treated. She has sent two COM
panies already-1f1ore than her proper
proportion of the call. If another call
comes think we will have a chance
to send about 2, 2,4OO-several hundred
more than our just proportion-for the
reason that 1t will have a chance to
get in a full regiment. The Eighth
California is all right You casssoe con-
ceive the pressure that is brought to
bear on US for independent organiza-
tions by those who have recruited
them. We have over 5000 men ON our
books now who have made application
to be sent away, and who even offer
to equip themselves, If taken, so that
they will be Of no expense to the State,

"Is there any difference of opinion
among military men as to the expedi-
ency of holding the islands after we
take them? No. never have hear
but one opinion expressed, and that is
that We should keep them. That was
the way every officer and man felt in
the first two expeditions Every prin-
