CAN CAPITAL BE MADE SUBJECT TO
LAW?

Ex-President Harrison said not long
since: "The danger that confronts us,
and threatens the perpetuity OF our in.
3 ituttons, are not from the classes
popularly known as law-break re-, but
is fouGd in the lawlesspess o capt. Il
aud anarchy of corporations, and the
question to which the American people
will before long give an EN- phatic af-
fi-mative answer is this: Can capital
be made subject to law?'"
The recent report of the interest ate
commerce commission most fu ly con.
firms the danger that contronts" and
which is so pointedly referred to by
General Harrison In this report the
secret rate cutting is admit d, and this
favoritism csnters the IN ping business
OF the couu try in a comparatively few
hands. The commission admit their
lack OF power to e1fOrce the law and
prevent determination. 1t seems one
iavorite way of cutting rareI is under
weighing, and the railroad bill s AMI
books give no evidences of it for the full
open rates are charged on the freight
bills. Every rything recorded show that
full rates we're charged aud paid. The
oi Is are made out for only a part of tie
weight really carried, The report is
quite full and gives Ca'es f rebates
thus showing the various ways of dis.
iminatins aud thus doogng tbs law.
But the commission say railway wit
nesses all denied knowledge of any
violation OF the statute" In some cases
material witnesses would disappear be-
fore they could be served with tub.
poenas.
TIE secret rate concessions are con-
trary TO the statute and the gull, Y
parties are liable to 6ne aud imprison-
ment, but the difficulty to make the
proofs. The report says the commi asion
are fully satisfied "lhat large ps,t of
the business is transacted upon illegal
rates, and in certain quarters the exac-
tion OF the published rate Is the exec D.
ton. Railroad transportation Is car.
ried on to very large extent in con.
ceded violation OF law, making gross
determinations between individuals
and gross preferences between localities,
and these almost always favor the
strong and are against the weak"
In this way are ''trusts and monopolies
built up, against which law and public
opinion beat in vain." The commission
admit the utter failure Of the inter-state
commerce law to protect the weak
people and localities. They say "the
most earnest efi orts have been made to
punish iniraction OF the law, and some
fines have been imposed, but no SUBJ
stantial benefit has been produced.n
The report says all other great nations
regulate and control railway rates. But
most other great nations own the rail-
roads, or most Of then. Germany owns
25 600 miles out of 2S 900; Italy over
8 900 out OF 5000, and 10 ON over
Europe. Australia owns all, 10000
miles India IA 600 out of $500 miles.
In this country, to equslizs railway
opportunities, there seems to be no
other way but government ownership.
Be ter that than that they should own

The great blizzard of 1899 had gone as
quickly as it case. There was not q
cloud in the sky, but under foot lay
l5.6 inches or snow on the level, with
drifts about ten feet high in some
places.
After Saturdays half holiday and
the suspension OF business on Sunday
and Monday, Tuesdays street traffic
was tremendous with the result of
blockades everywhere. There was no
place TO go save along the car tracks.
On either side OF them the roadways in

snow thrown there by the snowploughs
and workmen.
The New York Central continled TO

were concerned. The great drifts 80
miles south OF Poughkeepsie and near
Cold Springs were TOO much for the
snow plows. and trains were massed at
both sides OF this point in great num-
bers.
The Pennsylvania did nearly all the
business that was done.
The Lehigh Valley road dispatched
and received no trains. Conductors
and trainmen were put to shoveling
snow in the Lehigh yards north of the
Jersey Central depot.

Charged With Luoting Mer-

COLONEL KUERT WAS ACCUSED.
Alleged Tie Ordered wsgoas to Leave
Camp and Allowed Some of Men to
Commit Outrages- Other oficers Re-
pudiated Such Actions.

MACON, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE merchants
and business men of Macon are highly
Indignant over robberies committed by
the members of the Second Ohio regi.
ment as they were being mustered out
of the service of the United States. A
large number OF merchants sent wagons
loaded with merchandise out to the
camp to sell to the discharged soldiers.
The colonel ordered them to leave the
camp, and upon their refusal to do so,
the men began to loot the wagons.
Later they came to the city. and
while under the influence of whisky
went into several stores and walked
out with goods in full view of the
amazed merchants. Several of them
were arresten ana after turning over
the goods were released.
This conduct was not general with
the members of the regiment, and ia
deeply deplored by large number Of
the better class Of the men. A number
OF the officers Of the regiment signed
the following written statement:
"The officers and men of the Second
Ohio, with the exception of the colonel,
j. A. Kuert, feel very much Cha9riued
at the outrage perpetrated upfn several
of your merchants at the camp GROUNDS.
They went es free Americans selling
their goods aud delivering to men who
had previously engaged them. The
colonel ordered them out of the grounds
and threatened to turn the boys loose
on their wares il they did not go. This
was practically telling the men to go
ahead and rob the merchants and was
an outrage by which a majority of the
men are very much Inundated.
