time as Friday last, the railroad represented
| by E. s Pillsbury who then declined the suggestion
| OF Judge Morrow to adopt the motion with the re-
mark We'll we don't know to what penalties<that
might subject US
The railroad game to obterate the litigation
through the commission in mere form was blocked.
But it was so essential to avoid hearing on the
merits in the Circuit Court that when all other means
had failed it swallowed its declarations OF years and,
through its own attorney, forced discontinuance 1t
placed its application however, the extinction OF
the controversy through the repeating action OF ITS
two representatives on the Railroad Commission and
magnanimously concluded to bear the loss OF the
money it had expended which, so far as disclosed had
been fully counterbaanced by the loss the State had
suffered through the treachery and fraud to which it
had been subjected.
1t thus appears that in order to obtain judicial
determination OF fundamental propositions in con-
troversy between the railroad and the State
litigation will be essential But it is suggested that
Attorney General Ford OF whose good faith
so far no doubt has been entertained, promptly in
vestigate the responsibility OF the railroad and its
agents and employees under the constitutional pro-
vision TO which The Call has already referred and that
the State Board OF Equalization examine the filed
depostons so that the railroad assessments may be
raised and the two aspects IN which, for opposite pur
poses, it presents its property values harmonlzed
The shameless conduct which the railroad considers
triumph over the people may yet turn out to be a
booemrang if State officers, other than Commissioners
Blackstock and Laumeister, do their duty. From
these Commissioners OF course nothing be an
tcipated although, with the railroad consent, they
may undertake a pretended revision of the rate
schedules that will give relief whatever and
stitute merely "a sop to Cerberus'

IN SIGHT AT LAST.

y REPORT from Washington to the effect that
| \ the Nicaragua Canal Commissioners have
reached an agreement as TO the most advan-
tageou route Tor opening the desired waterway gives
reason Tor believing that at last the long debate on
the enterprise Is at an end and that work Will soon
begin
The controversy concerning the advisabity OF con
struct;ng the canal was ended long ago in favor OF
the supporters OF the work The campaign OF edu-
cation on the issue completely proved to the salts
faction OF the great majority OF Americans that such
q canal was both desirable and feasible and public
sentiment in favor OF undertaking it became 50
strong that opponents no longer thought it worth
while to continue the contest on that issue.
The victory. however was rendered seemingly
barren one by the skill with which the antagonists OF
the enterprise succeeded in dividing opinions TO
the best route along which to construct it. To add
20 the confusion the promoters OF the Panama canal
pushed their project to the front and found many
persons to favor scheme have the United States
Government undertake 10 aid the completion OF that
work rather than enter upon new one by either OF
the Nicaragua routes.
The controversy that followed the question OF
route has delayed the undertaking OF the project for
a long time Ii seemed as il the Commissioners and
others in authority would never agree and that the
President would have to appoint new commission
to go over the routes again. That would have en-
tailed more years OF delay and it looked if the ac-
tive undertaking OF the enterprise were remote as
ever.
The report now coming from Washington that
agreement has been reached by the Commissioners
may be regarded, therefore, OF the most graft
tying news items OF the time 1t seems to clear away
the last great obstacle in the way OF undertaking the
work, for with a substantially unanimous report on
the subject from the commission to act upon, it is
not likely Congress will hesitate in determining to go
ahead and make the appropriations necessary to be-
gin the work
According to the report the Commissioners favor
what IS known as the Lull route across Nicaragua.
They will pronounce it to be entirely feasible and
estimate It's cost at about 100000. It is added
that one OF the large estimated is that the
Commissioners have adhered to dimensions cOnsid-
erably greater than ever before proposed both in
length OF locks and width depth and radius OF
OF canal order that large ocean steamers and
especially warshps could securely and quickly make
the trip over the divide This, they said, necessarily
made corresponding increase in the estimated cost
in way inconsistent with the estmatons made from
former surveys, which contemplated much smaller
and cheaper canal.
The opinion prevails in Washington that the report
will be signed and submitted TO the President as soon
he returns from Hot Springs to the capital II that
be the details OF the report may be made public in
time be fully discussed during the summer so that
when Congress meets it will be possible to take
prompt action upon it.
