ONE OF THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

In an article in the current number of the
Forum Mr. Walter ID. Hines, who has been
an attorney of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Company, and is now its first vice
president, sharply assais the Interstate
Railway Commission. making charges that
should attract attention i'm quarters where
he can be required TO verify his statements
He charges, and reiterates the charge, that
the commission has neglected to enforce
the interstate-commerce law. That law
gives the commission power. Mr.. Hines in
sists. to DO almost everything except TO
make rates. He asserts that the present
law prohibits every unreasonable and un-
duly preferential rate. and empowers the
commission. upon or with complaint to in
vestiSate any rate supposed to be unlawful.
and. if found to be so. it has authority 10
compel those charging sucn rates to desisi
on a hearing i'm court the commission's
findings are prima facie evidence as TO
every fact. In this connection Mr. Hines
charges that the commission has con-
demned the action of Congress for the cor
rection of unjust discrimination as worth
law to test. He declares that instead OF
devoting its efforts 10 the enforcement of
the interstate-commerce law. il has spent
much of it's time in efforts to discredit the
law and TO obtain authority to make rates.
He shows that even the authority to make
rates will not overcome the evil most COM
planned CT. and which involves the greatest
lite shippers
Either the second officer of the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad Company is correct
I'm his statements or he is not. The Inter-
state Commission will declare with posi-.
tiveness that he is making charges which
he canno; sustain. and will make a case of
its own. This sort of controversy. how
ever. decides nothing: it is OF no more
value than it would be for plaintiff and de-
PENDANT to go into courthouse and make
and deny charges without judge and jury
to hear and investigate them There is one
tribunal which determine which Of
these parties is in the right or nearest it
and that is the other branch of Con
gross through a committee which will hear
the evidence and render "A verdict The
commission recently declared that unjust
Determinations have been made by rail-
road managers in favor of the meat pack
ers. and that. 10 do this. railroad managers

their books. To certain extent these vio-
latiOns OF law have been admitted by those
guilty thereof 1t does not appear how
ever. that any action has been begun n
the courts TO punish such offenders: and
as Mr.. Hines has said. IL does not appear
in what manner the power TO make rates

A free-trade paper deplores the effect of
the bounty which most European govern
ments have been paying in order to stimu-
late the beet-sugar industry. The bounty
policy has been overdone yet it was be-
lieved to be necessary TO induce the people
to engage in the enterprise. To the boun-
ties and the prohibtory tariff duties the
world owes cheap sugar to-day. If it is too
cheap. that is, is produced at a price below
the cost because of the bounty. and the
supply is i'm excess of the demand, it is be-
cause the bounty system has prevailed too
long and has overstmulated production.
Still, if most peoples consumed as much
sugar as do the people of this country, the
demand would exceed the supply. The arti-
fetal production of sugar from beets has
added to the worlds supply three-ffths of
the commercial sugar of to-day. Doubtless
the volume of cane sugar would have in
creased to some extent, but, without the
beet sugar, it is fair to assume that the
worlds price of sugar to-day would be
double what it now is, and, instead of being
a necessary of life it would be a luxury.
Therefore, when sugar. bounties and sugar
tariffs are denounced, let us not forget that
gives the world more than three-fifths Of
the sugar consumed, with corresponding
fall in the price.

The silver jubilee of Pope Leo XIII di-
reefs attention TO the life and service of
one of the most influential of those prelates
who are believed by a great church to be
the Successors of st. Peter. In spite of the
fact that he was deprived of his temporal
power he has become one of the most in
fiuential men in the general affairs of the
world. In the fullest sense of the word
Leo XIII is a great man, and his rule or
a quarter of a century has been most salu-
tary. Upon all worldwide questions he has
been a progressive man. He has opposed
war and urged the cause of the poor and
oppressed His influence has been helpful
to the nations because 1T has always been
for law and order. He has been an earnest
advocate of the theory of arbitration for
the settlement of controversies between
nations. On many occasions he has shown
his good will to the American people, and
his influence in the settlement of questions
affecting his church in the Philippines has
been exerted in a manner helpful to the
government of the United States.

HONOLULU. Feb. "a, via San Francisco,
March 3.-The steamships Alameda and
Doric, arriving yesterday morning, were
both a whole day late from San Francisco
and each encountered fearful storms en-
route. On the 10th the Alamedas wheel
house was smashed by the seas and her
steam steering gear was broken.
The Navy Department has begun actual
work at Pearl harbor. A large dredger is

Kealalua bay. a place of historic interest,

will prevent determinations which are in
violation Of established rates
This is one of the most important matters
that can claim the attention Of Congress.
The most effective support of monopoly is
unjust discrimination of railroads in regard
to rates. The most effective blow that could
be struck at monopolistic combinations
would be the stopping of unjust discrimina-
tons. To ascertain whether such railroad
men as Mr.. Hines or the Interstate Com
mission is right in this contention and to
apply remedies, is a matter OF vaster i'm
portance to the people than oleomargarine,
rural contract and like bills which seem 10
engross the attention of Congress. 1t IS
possible that Congress does not appreciate
the gravity of this controversy, or by
avoiding il does it confess inability to de-
termine whether the Railway Commission
or the acknowledgements law is response
bic for the injustice of discriminating
rates?

Now il is stated that Mr.. OXnard and
the beet-sugar people are not averse TO
having Cuba helped % or 80 per cent. if the
assistance can go to the cane growers di-
rect. They claim that if the duty is re-
duced 20 per cent the American Sugar Re-
filming Company. the sugar trust of ILL
repute, will be the beneficiary. Between
the beet-sugar producers and the sugar
trust there exists bitter feud. The sugar
trust merely refines sugars. while the beet
sugar people make refined sugar. Mr.. Ok
nard and his friends assert that when the
beet-sugar interest shall furnish consid-
cradle portion of the sugar consumed the
trust will find its business curtailed. At
the rate of growth the past decade the time
is long distant when the beet-sugar people
will be able to furnish enough sugar to
exert a perceptible effect upon the coun-
try's sugar supply. But if any plan can
be devised by which the money concession
made to Cuba can be paid to the producers
OF cane it is worth consideration. Because
of outside refiners the sugar trust is not
having things it's own way; people gener-
ally have no love for combination which
sought to establish a monopoly and which
enhanced the price of sugar for several
years.

II is curious to note that some of those
papers which denounce the totals of river
and harbor appropriation bills as steals or
divides are very Jealous in securing a good
slice for their own localities. Not long ago
a cry went up that Chicago was not likely
to get its share of what a Chicago paper
calls 'the river and harbOr pork" and a
demonstration was made to get its part
Now that Chicago has been given three
quarters of a million OF the pork, the pa
per of that city is Indignantly virtuous
because so much money has been voted to
other parts of the country which can be of
no use. Chicago expects to have the coun-
try purchase and run its drainage system

work in which the commerce of the world
is interested
