ION This Occasion,

After making few slight illusions
to the time check system in our last
issue we will follow this week by max
ing the remarks slightly stronger.
There Is no possible antipathy against
time checks which are payable on de-
mand but it is these payable next
April or May" ones, that should be
quieted. A lumberman should have
no more reason for refusing cash to a
man who has worked than the mines
of this vicinity, The latter pay i'm
mediately in case Of discharge and
the 18th of the following month in
case of quit, or cash on demand
without a discount. The time check
by which lumbermen are paid are in
most cases discountable at a loss to
the bearer Of from 10 to 20 per cent.
Quite number of the larger lumber
ing firms have been found who deposit
money in bank and discount their
own paper when offered. Another
evil is the one of making time checks
payable in st. Paul or Minneapolis.
The legislature will in all probable
ity settle this at its next session and
it will be good thing if it is done.
Everyone is aware of the evil. Natur-
ally, there will be violent opposition
to the scheme, mostly on the part of
Minneapolis lumbermen who are
gamers by thousands of dollars by the

Young Mems New Year Resolution J..

ITO be perfectly frank, have very
little faith in New Years resolutions
which are made at the beginning of a
year, writes Edward Box in the
December Ladies' Home Journal.
SAT the same time, there are people
who fancy the idea of making resolu-
Cions at some arbitrary division of
time, such as the first day OF new
year. But the characters Of those re-
solves should emanate from ones own
heart, and not be suggested by an
other. Yet an excellent resolution
for a young man to make is this tri-
angular one. Be Industrious, shun
all Intoxicating liquors, and put into
good savings bank at least fifteen
cents of every dollar earned during
the year."

to a phase that seems likely to stitch
in popular discussions of the relationt
between corporations and the public.
Mr.. Acker protested to find that the
uniform answer of the promoters OF

against il was the eminent respecta

He puts the case for the middle classes

Another would carry out the same
proposition and pay during the thirty
years 1900, 900 additional Another
and finally another proposition is to
charge the city at once but IS cents
per thousand.
"The remarkable scene, for which ]
defy history to furnish a parallel, is
that of some of the most distinguished
men of Philadelphia, claiming to be
actuated only by public-spirited mo.
tives, and solicitous only for the well
fare of the city and its citizens, DELHI
erately recommending in public, not
the best of the above propositions; not
the second best; not even the thire, or

Who will be to blame if the people
rise up and crush out this unholy ALI

posing the hollow fraud contained in

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
A LONG, FUTILE STRUGGLE
COMES TO NAUGHT.
With the Exception of the Experience
Gained, the People of Nebraska Have
in Twenty Years Gained no Point In
the Regulation of Freight Rates.

After FIVE years of waiting the SUI
preme court of the United States has
nullifed the maximum rate law pass
ed by the Nebraska legislature.
After twenty years of agitation and
organization for the regulation of rail
way freight rates the people of Ne
braska are at the point they started,
plus twenty years experience.
The decision, which was handed
down Monday of this week, holds on
its face, that the law of 1893 confllcted
with the fourteenth amendment to the
federal constitution. The fourteenth
amendment provides that no state
shall deprive any person of property
without due process of law, nor deny
any person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws. The
court holds railway corporation to
be person and then holds that the
effect of the maximum rate law is to
reduce the earnings of the Nebraska
railroads 291l per cent for the years
1891, 1892, 1899, which would have
been in the Judgment of the court
depriving the railroad companies of
their property without due process of
law. After thus dcmolishing the law,
the decision goes on to state that the
state board of transportation which
was five years ago enjoined from put
ting into effect the rates fixed by the
maximum rate bill may apply to the
federal district court for a removal of
the injunction by showing that condi-
tions of railroad business in Nebraska
had so changed as to enable the roads
to make reasonable profits under the
rates prescribed by the maximum rate
law.
The decision rendered has, of course,
been the identical one long expected
and foreshadowed in these columns
months ago. There are some peculiar
features connected with the courts
action in this case, however, which
deserve comment, before discussing
the decision itself
In the frs place why was the deci-
sion held back until now? 1t is known
that it was agreed upon nine months
ago. The only explanation offered for
the long delay in making 1t public was
that the court was framing a rule for
the computation of reasonable rates
Now comes the decision, but nothing
whatever regarding what in the judg'
ment of the court would constitute
reasonable rates. The prolonged delay
in this case is certainly not calculated
TO produce the opinion that the SUI
preme court is a body of men actuated
solely by desire to interpret the laws
without fear or favor.
As to the decision itself two or three
facts are mighty moment in the rela-
ton of the people to the public high
ways are made plain:
/. That the federal courts and not
the state legislatures or state courts
have the power to fz reasonable maxi
mum rates on railways
2. That with the power Of injunc-
ton from federal courts and the evil
dent bias of the supreme court towards
corporate interests it is practically
impossible to enforce any regulation
