commission, battle in
which the railroads have thus far
proved uniformly victorious, still con-
tinues and is probably destined to con-
tinue until the interests of the public
receive the fair protection which they
demand. Before the present congress
the fight turns upon senate bill No.
1889, amending the interstate law. A
synopsis of its principal features is ap-
pended, with comments by William
S. Warren, president of the Chicago
board of trade:
"The first section absolutely pro-
hibits railroads from charging more for
a short than for a long haul, over the
same line and in the same direction,
unless they have first obtained per-
mission of the commission so to do.
The present law has the same pro-
hibition under similar circumstances
and conditions, but the courts have
decided that the competition of other
railroads made such 'dissimilar cir
cumstances and conditions that the
carriers were absolved from obedience
to it's terms. This decision absolutely
nullified the long and short haul clause
in the original law, since there Is
hardly n railroad station in the United
States where there is not competition
enough to bring the carrier under the
exception noted by the court. The
next section provides for the publica-
ton of their tariffs by the carriers
and forbids any change in them on
less than 80 days notice, except the
commission authorize it. This change
in the law is in the direction OF sta
bility in rates, and there is no danger
to the carriers, since the commission
are authorized to shorten the time in
| case there is any necessity for SO
doing. The next section directs the

The Carter Case.

q y INVESTIGATION of the
~ frauds charged to have been
4 " perpetrated upon the gov
eminent by Captain Oberln
NJ. carter. now serving a sentence in
the military prison at Leavenworth,
Kan" has been made by an expert
accountant detailed by Attorney Gen
cal Griggs, and the result is that
the governments loss is officially cont
putcd at 1000. 900, of which Carter's
share was only about une-third After
a tremendous resistance, Carter has
been punished; but as yet the civilian
sCOundrcls who were i'm league with
carter are untouched. Is there to be
miscarriage of justice SO far as they
are concerned?
In another column appears a ChrOn-
ologY Of this justly-celcbrate case,
which shows that eleven years have
been required even under the swiftcr
methods of military law, to work out
substantial justice on the erring en-
gineer But as the Engineering News,
To which we are indebted for the
tnTOnOlOSN, says, tnC same evidence
that proved Carter guilty, logically,
though not legally, proved guilty
those who conspired with him. If they
now escape all punishment for a crime
thus publicly proven, what Il prece-
dent it will establish! If the United
states government is thus powerless
To punish those who conspire to de-
fraud it, those who 6ngage in river
and harbor work, the construction of
public buildings or such great enter
prises as the Isthmian canal, will take
notice and govern themselves accord
tingly. If the precedent is established
that wealthy and influential contrac-
tors for public works can thus rob the
government and escape punishment,
the way of every honest engineer and
honest contractor is made more diff
cult"
We will not believe, until we have
To, that Carters co-conspirators are
TO escape. But the delay in rounding
them up is certainly discouraging.
