The snnreme Conrt Attncked.


The attack made on the United States
Supreme Court by Gov. Leedy of Kansas.
an account of which was published in the
| dispatches yesterday, was doubtless read
with mingled feelings Of surprise and in
disnation in all parts Of the country. Never
before had the Governor of a state, in
public address. deliberately declared that
high tribunal to be corrupt.
The occasion of Gov. Leedy's outburst
Of anger was the decision of the court
that the Nebraska law, fixing a maximum
rate for local railroad freights in that
state, was unconstitutional. He had al
ready taken steps to call the legislature
Of Kansas together to enact a similar law.
TO have his plan defeated in such a sum-
mary fashion led him to condemn the
court in manner for which there was
neither reason nor excuse. In the estima-
ton of all fair minded men of Kansas and
elsewhere he has brought discredit upon
the great Office which he holds. He has
made it apparent to the whole country
that he is unfit for that high position.
Gov Leedy is Populist, and doubtless
his purpose in issuing his address was TO
please his party friends. but even they
cannot help having a feeling of contempt
for him, because they can hardly fail to
see that he hoped to make himself popular
with his party by his violent and wholly
indefensible attack upon the Supreme
Court. IT is his privilege, of course, to en-
terrain an opinion of the Nebraska law
different from that expressed by the Su-
preme Court, but there was no justifca-
ton for referring to the Supreme Court
decision as Infamous and declaring that
the court had descended to unknown
depths of iniquity. Such language in con-
nection with the highest legal tribunal in
this country is sometimes used by polite
ians who have little self-respect and no
regard for decency, but it is not expected
from the Governor of a great state in
formal address.
That the Nebraska decision is in &C.
cordance with the law there is no room
for question. 1t is doubtful If there is a
good lawyer in the country, having re-
gard for his professional reputation who
will question it's correctness. The position
is not taken in the decision that state
cannot fix the rates for the transportation
of local freights. The control of the rates
for such freights is admitted, but the Su-
preme Court says that state has not the
right to fix a maximum rate which would
amount practically to the confscation of
the property of the railroads.
The maximum rate fixed by the state of
Nebraska would not permit the railroads
to earn operating expenses, much less fix
ed charges. The Nebraska Populists enact
ed the maximum freight law, their idea
being, apparently. that they had a perfect
right by means of legislative enactments
to rob the railroad owners of their prop
erty. Gov. Leedy has the same idea, and
because he is not permitted to have his
way in the matter he throws mud at the
Supreme Court. 1t is gratifying to know
that men of Gov. Leedy's kind are being
gradually forced out of public life. The
people are tired OF them.

Within the course of a few months an
electric railway line will be In operation
between Chicago and Green Bay, Wis, a
distance of POI miles. The line, which is
now in operation for a considerable dis
lance, will parallel the Milwaukee .divls-
ion of the Chicago and Northwestern Rail
road, with which it will compete for bus
mess. 1t is said that the electric road
will put on passenger rate Of just about
one-half the fare charged by the steam
road. The steam road, however, Will
have the advantage of making faster
time.

! Three years time was allowed for the
construction of the Kentucky and The
Kearsarge. The contractor now says he
can, in case OF necessity, duplicate the
ships in eighteen months. The contractor
who built the Oregon says he can build
another just like her in half the time il
took for that craft. The reason such a
reduction of time is possible is that the
patterns used for the ships named ,ould
be employed at once for duplicate vessels,
hence the actual construction of the craft
themselves could be pushed from the day
the order was received.

Some of the Western governors are very
FESTIVE under the restraint of the Federal
Supreme Court, and Mr.. Justice Harlan's
recent railroad opinion has affected them
very similarly to the manner in which
red flag affects a bull. There are Pingree
of Michigan, Holcomb of Nebraska and
Leedy of Kansas, for instance, all upon
the point of calling extra sessions of the
legislatures of their respective states for
the purpose of passing new railroad legis-
lation Involving taxation and freight rates.

Where Prosperity Comes From.
From the Philadelphia Record Oem.)

Statistician Hyde of the department of
agriculture states that the total value of
the country's exports in 1897 exceeded
those of 1896 by over $4,000 and that
more than two-thirds of the increase was
in agricultural products. Some have
fancied that prosperity came down from
the political skies. Now we know off
cially that it comes up out of the soil.

original documents.

Notwithstanding the reported remarka-
BILE discoveries of pearls in various parts
of the country last year, it does not ap-
pear that the total value of them amount
ed to great deal Counting all of the
various sorts of gems found in this coun-
try, the production last year amounted to
only S130,675, of which more than two
thirds were turquois and sapphire. We
may not be much of a country for the
production of the gew-gaws of fashiona-
BILE life, but when it comes to the rugged
necessaries of life, we can beat the world.

Harpers Weekly says it learns upon ex-
celient authority" that one Of the sensa-
tional newspapers of New York is deliber-
ately at work with the purpose in view of
forcing this country into war. Says the
Weekly: 'The villainous thought enter
ed the head of the editor and publisher OF
the paper that the country ought TO go to
war, and that he would make it go. His
purpose has been no secret in the office; 1t
has been proclaimed in the streets and in
some of the clubs of the city by his sub
ordinates; it has even been stated that he
has offered to bet $4,000 that his paper
would cause a war" This may explain
some OF the wild and warlike fake news
which has been dished out SO literally by
the yellow journals of late. The editor in
question is insanely DESTROYS of having his
paper known as power in the country.
To crafty his ambition, he is willing to
spend money as freely as water to BAN
boozle congressman and use them for his
advertising schemes, TO pervert the high
functions of journalism, and to incite the
nation TO a bloody war. In order to
prove that he is running a great paper, he
is willing to bet $4,000 that he can make
his paper force the country into a war!
Could anything be more monstrous?

A bill before the New York Legislature
proposes that theatrical managers shall
limit the number of admissions sold fer
their entertainments to the number of
seats in the House; otherwise, that there
shall be no more selling of standing room.
If the legislature would arrange it so that
there would be standing room only at each
performance the theatrical people would
not object, but. like the street car people,
they think they have right to even up
for poor business by packing the standing
room whenever they have an opportunity.

Bosses Croker and Plat of New York
are behind the Ellsworth press gag"
bill. now pending in the New York Legis-
lature. Ex-senator Hin the other day
made a powerful argument against the
bill. Since that time a newspaper which
is said to be the personal organ Of Mr.
Croker has made a hot ASSAULT upon the
ex-senator. Gov. Black has minated
that he will veto the bill in the event of
its passage. Thus the situation becomes
interesting. Should Hill and Black cham
Croker and Platt the papers would be
more than apt to reeiDrocate by assisting
the former pair to a leading position in
their respective parties, at the expense of
the latter pair.

Ex-Premier Goblet of France is quoted
as saying that NJ the event of trouble be-
tween this country and Spain, France
would be bound to the latter "by ties of
contiguous neighborhood and of race
both being of the Latin stock" If it
came to matter of race, the United
States would have the better part of Eu-
rope with them. We are very close to
both the Britons and the Teutons. Fur
thermore the Germans have had it in"
for the Latins for ages and ages. A par
ticularly well informed German-American
of this city expresses the opinion that
Germany would be well pleased to let the
United States have several of her war
ships, and that she would arrange trans
fer that would not be Objectionable to in
ternational law, if she were assured that
they would be employed against Spain.
