The Governor declares that tne ,ohsu-
tuition of Nebraska gives the Legislature
the right to establish maximum onarses
for TRANSPORTATION. and that the Supreme
Court has tried to abrogate II. ne cnai-
lenges Justice Harlan's declaration tha'
a corporation Is a person under the four-
teenth amendment TO the Federai CON
stitution. which he quotes, adding: NO
hodv but a slave or knave Will yieid
assent TO the hdeous distortion OF mean
ing which Judge Harlan gives to the word
person as used in the Fourteenth aniehu-
ment. and upon which he bottoms his IN
famous decision. and which shows 10
what depths of iniquity the Supreme Court
NJ the United States has descended.
In conclusion, Governor Leedy states
that his maximum rate bill will be pre-
sented to the Kansas Legislature In snch
shape that to decide against 1t the court
must reverse its decision in the Nebraska
case. and he states that IF the court
still pursues the corrupt and rotten prac-
tice that IL has pursued heretofore, py
changing it's decisions to suit the SHIFT
ing interests of the railroad corpora
tons" the remedy will be with the peo-
ple I'm their dealings with the courts, or In
building railroads Of their own.

To the Voters of Monroe Ward.

The question has frequently been ASK
cd whv the Democratic League for Good
Government did not endorse the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Brock for the Board OF AL
dermen. The answer has been given,
bv those who did not know, that he was
not endorsed for the reason that he de-
clined to sign certain pledges. This has
no foundation whatsoever in fact. NO
nledge has been submitted 70 him, GER
tainly by anybody who had authority
so to do.
The league did not think ii consistent
with good government to endorse the
candidacy of any man, however good ne
might be, who was closely allied with o
corporation that would ask, during his
term Of office, for the most important
franchise within the bestowai OF the city
The franchise for the Main-street car
line will be sold or given away during
the next term of the Council. Other
car lines may or may not be allowed TO
run over this important thoroughfare'
This is a subject I'm which every citizen
has a keen interest. The league Is
neither the friend nor the foe OF any
priyate corporation, It's only object be-
ing TO protect the interests OF all the
people. When such interests are at stake
no councilman should be trammellsd 10y
any outside influences. NO MAN CAN
SERVE TWO MASTERS.
This was the reason that Mr. Brock
was not endorsed. and IL has had the
approval of the people.
consequently, Major Clay Drewry was
nersuaded to announce himself for the
Board. and 1t is believed by all who
know him that the interests OF the city
will not suffer In his hands
He Is a man Of long business expert
ence. has been resident OF Richmond
for forty years, represents large and
varied interests. and we think the city
will be most fortunate In securing the
services Of such citizen.

TOPEKA. KAN, March 10.--The Popu-
list administration OF the State of Kan

with defiance of the recent decision OF
the Supreme Court
The address is significant. in that Gov
ernor Leedy has already taken steps pre-

lature in extra session, with the special
purpose of enacting a maximum freight
rate law.
While the address is given out over the
signature OF the Governor. II has hrst
been approved by Chief-Justice Doster OF
the State Supreme Court, and other
prominent Populists.
The Governor begins his address with
the statement that for year the press
dispatches have said that the opinion IN
the Nebraska case would be. adverse to
the State, and he insinuates that these
forecasts were put out in advance by
persons connected with the court in or

CONSULAR HARDSHIPS.

II is realized at the State Department
that the lot OF American consuls In Cuba
is a very hard one. II has been difficult
for many months, and Is no better now.
Still, the department Is gratifed at the
manner In which these officers have dis
charged their duties, and remained at
their posts. So far as can be learned at
the State Department, none of them have
resigned. and the stories to the contrary
probably found their origin In the fact
that one Consul. whose health had been
run down. has applied for a leave Of abb
sence. which will be granted TO him.

NG EXCLUSION NH PEOPLE ON THE GAELIC OFFICERS BELOW DECKS THERE WILL NOW BEL LIGHT
ELECTRIC CO. At LAST FITTED
FOR EMERGENCIES.
Great Engine Tried Last Night-It
Worked Perfectly-No Danger of
Breakdowns.

Theodore Hoffman says that in fu-
ture there will be light, and he knows
what he is talking about.
Hoffman is all sorts of a genius. For
several months many people have
thought he was an evil genius. There
was no light when there should be,
and bills when there shouldn't be, and
pilikia generally. The manager of
the electric light company was an
noNed over the situation as much as
any one else and did all he could to
remedy matters.
1t came finally to proposition of
new machinery. First came big. new
boilers. BY a late steamer there ar
rived Randell'S Corliss 400 power
engine for the works. The indicated
horse power is 500. II is a vertical
cross compound affair of the latest i'm
proved style.
Last night the big engine was tried
number of people witnessed the
start. The huge machinery moved
all together like a toy. There was no
friction. no noise. Everything in the
works was set in motion and the lights
IN town cleaned out brightly. After
an hour the engine was shut off. By
tomorrow night it will be running reg
ularly.
This completes the list of new ma
chlnery planned for the electric works
and places the concern in first class
shape. There is perhaps not today in
the world an electric works with more
complete appliances for supplying
light. 1t is now assured that after the
big engine is running every night
there will be no more Pickering lights
and no more burned armatures.

MIR. McSTOCKER REPLIES TO THE
HABEAS CORPUS PETITION.
Tells why Nine Cinnamon are Refused
Landing in Hawaii-IIave Not
Complied With Laws.

f. b. McStocker, collector of Gus
toms, today made return in the habe-
as corpus case entitled Aiona, ct. al,
with the following statement as to
why they should not be admitted In
to the Hawaiian Islands:
THAT certain of said petitioners
are Chinese laborers, and certain 9th
ers of them are travellers, and all are
Chinese subjects who arrived at the
port of Honolulu on the steamship
City of Peking, from ports in China.
THAT upon arrival of the petition
ers they were removed to the quaran-
tine station at Mauliola for the pur-
pose of performing quarantine duties,
and were subjected to the inspection
of the collector general of customs as
aforesaid, and of the said j. X. Brown,
United States inspector as aforesaid.
That upon such examination it was
ascertained that none of them had
complied with the provisions and re-
quirements of the treaty existing be-
tween the United States of America
and the Empire of China, nor of the
United States statutes relating to the
immigration of Chinese into the Unit
ed States. nor of the regulations of the
United States treasury department re-
specting the exclusion of Chinese.
"Wherefore it was decided by the
respondent and said J. X. Brown.
United States Chinese inspector as
aforesaid, that petitioners were not
entitled to enter the Hawaiian Islands.
and that they should be held to await
the arrival of a steamer returning to
China, that they might be deported. -
The case will be called in the SUI
preme court next Monday morning for
argument.

FROM JAPAN.
Manoeuvres of the japanese Army and

Business Conditions are Good.

The Occidental and Oriental steam
ship Gaelic arrived this morning from

sengers.

olulu are George *. Frukawa, of the
Yokohama Specie Bank, and Mrs. X.
Ikeda, wife of the sub-agent of the
bank here, and her two children.
Mr.. Frukawa left here about three

conditions excellent in Japan both
among the foreign and the Japanese
merchants.

it, kindliness and protection afforded
to foreigners in Japan, expressing
their appreciation of himself. and the
hope that the good relations now eN-
isting through the good will of the
emperor, his government and people,
might continue until they We're put
on the footing of permanence given by
the new treaties which go into effect
during the coming wear.
The emperor received the memorial
very graciously and replied in the
same spirit in which it was presented.
Among through passengers on the
Gaelic are Ng Chun, secretary of the
Chinese Six Companies at San Fran
cisco. one of the most powerful and
far reaching voluntary associations Of
Chinese iA ,he world. Its purposes arc
very similar to those Of the United
