RAILROAD QUESTION.

The Chi,ago Record, in reviewing the su-
nreme court decision in the case of the Ne
braska maximum freight-rate law, says that
the whole question goes to Washington. That
is as much as to say that the states have no
control that can afford adequate relief. In the
Nebraska case, the court decided that a state,
in fixing rates, must be governed by the earn
incs of roads in the state; that the earnings OF
road, as whole, could not be taken into con-
sideraion in state legislation
Some years ago, the question was up at Wash
ington, and the people were given the inter-
state commerce law. Senator Collum SAID OF
the fort to enforce the interstate commerce
law that the supreme court had ''punched 1t
full of holes" What is the use of going to
Washington? There is no power in Washing
ton that the supreme court cannot knock out.
We cite another authority to show that the
people are bound hand and foot by the federal
cours. We refer to Mr. Adams, secretary and
statistician OF the interstate commerce COM
mission, who says, in substance, that the inter-
state commerce commission has been unable to
accomplish but little in the direction OF correct
up railroad abuses Our recollection is that
MIR. Adams statement was published in the
North American Review. Now comes Chaun-
cy Depew, and says the people are satisfied
since the creation of commission.
A railway magna:e scored Governor Pngree
for breeding dissatisfaction by agitation.
Shut off by the supreme court from relief
through legislation the next step is to prohlbit
the people from complaining. Eastern papers
roundly abused Leedy and Holcomb, and did
not h,staae to lie in order to drag those men
down i'll public esteem.
Governor Pingree asks that the railroads OF
Michigan bear their fair share of taxation.
The roads pay, in tax, about $4,000. They
ought to pay about $8, ,ooo, ,ooo The railroads
are waeins as hot war on Pingree, although
he is Republican, as OH Leedy and Holcomb.
Il ,ilroads cannot be restricted as to freight
charges, and we shall see, by and by, that rail-
roads cannot be taxed. The federal courts are
abou, to crown monopoly king of all, and the
~ ,chinery of the Republican party backs the
uroposilior and opposition thereto is treason
able.
mis- is the situation, and what we are to do
s now problem. Shall we keep quiet, as the
rl,c reverend Doctor Depew would have 1is, or
sail into a long, bitter fight, with Leedy, Hol-
comb and Pingree. We will not be quiet, even
,houph monopolistic jails yawn TO receive us.

woman,s council in Canaaa.

Lady Aberdeen is generally spoken of as
the founder of the Woman's Council of
Canda, but she herself disclaims that honor.
Talking to a Tribune reporter few days
ago, in the quaint old citadel of the Amer
lean Gibraltar, Quebec, her Excellency
said:
1.-The council was initiated by Canadian
women inspired by what they saw and
heard at the Woman's Congress at Chicago.
/ simply threw myself into their work and
helped in whatever way / could The coun-
try was just ripe for something of the sort,
and the Canadian women are such splendid
workers that it could not help succeeding.
We have found such wise leaders and so
many coed speakers. 1t is really astonish-
ing, considering how little practice most
of the members had had in anything of this
May Wright Sewall. She visited us several
times, and was a wonderful help to u.s."
Lady Aberdeen looks forward to a great
future for the council. It has already
proved its usefulness, she says, and is sure
to do much greater things in the future.
When asked to mention some definite prac-
teal work that it had accomplished her Ex-
celency handed the reporter a copy of one
of her own speeches. and smiled as she
pointed to the tabulated statement therein
contained of the achievements of the coun-
Gil since its organization. The list was a
formidable one and calculated to convince
the most Skeptical.

thorities of Walker county for protection
and a provost guard was placed on the
depot platform at Chickamauga. Cen

the civil officers in making arrests. Re-

Preparations for its F~OrmacfOn-To be
Started From Some South Atlauuc
Port.

Washington, June 13.-Arrangements
from the United States for the West
Indies are being hurried at the war
department. There seems to be no
doubt that this expedition, if its num-
Der approaches the first, will be sent
from the east coast Of the United
States. The experience in embarking
the first from Tampa has demonstrat-
ed to the dar department officials that
other ports where the railroad and
other facilities are more ADEQUATE
than at Tampa are muc more desir-
able places for the concentration of
troops and their embarkation. The of
hcers at Tampa have recommended
that future expeditions approaching
any magnitude be dispatched from
some other city. A board of army Of
fcers for the past week has been ex-
amining various places in the south
with a view to their occupation for
camping purposes and it is also sug-
gested that it may take occasion to
point out a desirable port for the en-
barkation of the Porto Rico exDedi-
ton. The board will arrive mere to-
morrow morning and will hurriedly
prepare it's report for the considera-
ton of the president. Fernandina and
Savannah are locke upon with favor
by the war department officials as
suitable ports for the departure of the
invading army and Charleston also has
been suggested.
Five transports are now at Fernan-
dina, viz: The Comanche, the Knick-
erbocker, the Louisiana, the Gate
City and the City of Macon. The "a
tania and the Arcadia were at New
York two days ago and the Lampasas

June 9Th. confirming the report from

that the Massachusetts and the Su-
wanee were somewhat injured by
shells.

says: The spectacle vas one of awe

says: 1T is surprising that the Amer
lean losses were SO small. The ngage
ment was very sever Altogether, the
bombardment might fairly be claimed
by the Spanish as a victory, for after
three hours firing 10y the pick of the
