the scheme that the desired end may
be accomplished without trespassing
upon the decision of the higher
courts.
Opposing this scheme there are
lawyers who contend that il aims to
do under cover what it affects not to
DO, viz, to miugle the legislative
power of making rates with the Judi
cial power Of enforcing them. In
other words, that the court which
makes the rates sits in judgment of
the reasOnableneSs of such rates.
Another scheme submitted to the
steering committee is that the rail-
road board, or the railroad court, or
whatever it may be called, be clothed
with the power to fix rates, but that
the power of enforcing the rate be in
the supreme court, To insure action
by the supreme court it is proposed
that the law make it mandatory upon
the railroad board to institute man
damus proceedings in the supreme
court to compel the railroads to Put
in effect the boards orders. Then
the railroads would have the burden
upon them of proving that the rates
fixed by the board are unreasonable

In Favor of Wellington.

The football game yesterday after.
noon between the Chill0cc0 Indians
aud the Wellington team was decided
In favor OF Wellington, by a score 5 20
0. The decision was not satisfactoryto
the Wellington people, and was, it is
claimed, unjust TO the Indians. The
score was, properly, nothing TO moth
ing, The game was an exciting one.
and well attended. The Wellington
team played better ball Than the In.
dams, hut failed 10 score a touch
down before time was up. The In
dians are gentlemlDly setof fellows.
and won many friends by their good
behavior under trying circumstances.
The Indians have a neat trick
watch took the Wellington team by
surprise, aud proved very effective.
When the ball was thrown to one of
their men, the rest of the Indians
would surround him and form a solid
mass, with the ball in the center, and
whirl rapidly around, moving in the
direction Of the goal. The Yelling
ton boys had considerable difficulty in
stopping the wheel" and were una
Bile to secure the bali often for the
reason that they could not get to the
center Of the wheel" when they
stopped it. The performance was a
new one to the Wellington boys, who
are not yet through talking about it.
