Com mission Demands More Power.

In its annual report the state rail
road commission recommends that the
authority of the body be SO extended
that it may determine rates between
railroads. permitting the billing of
goods through from one point to an
other to any part of the state over
several lines. AS the law now stands,
and as interpreted by United States
Judge Jacob Trieber, in cases before
him, the authority of the commission
extends only to fixing the rates on
freight from one point to another on
individual systems. The expenses of
the commission for the year have been
as follows: Expert service, $1,000;
estimated costs, $440.76; postage and
express, $206S0; rental and outfit,
$4,000; forms and contingencies,
405.70; total, s3,47236.

MCNROEISM IN GERMANY.
How 1t Is Viewed by Gen. BogusIawski,
One of Gcrmsny's Foremost
Military Writers.

Berlin, Dec. 30.-Gen. Won Bogus
iawski, one of the foremost military
writer's, contributes to the Tagliche
Rundschau his views upon the Mon
roe doctrines. and argues that the
withdrawal of the blockade at this
stage would show singular weakness.
After ailuding to the late Prince Bis
marek's expression that the Monroe
doctrine was "a great piece of i'm
pudence," the general says:
THAT was true word. America Is
divided into many states. In varieties
of race and language she is hardly
second TO Europe. How can one state
assert that it has the right of inter-
ference and protection over an en.ire
continent, and that it will tolerate
only under certain conditions any ac-
tion, however just, of European ma
tons against an American slater
further question is how it happens
that this doctrine, set up so years
ago by an American statesman, has
been able to justify itself in fact.
with absolutely no justification in the
law of nations? When the United
States feels herself threatened
through any occupation of territory,
of course she has the right, like any
other nation, to raise protest, and II
necessary employ force.
But there must be no talk of even
an apparent recognition of the Mon
Il mt 1,x
principle on the part of European
nations. If the latter act otherwise
they will soon feel the thumbscrews
which they put on thereby. Through
the war against ill-equipped Spain,
American self-importance has been
infinitely increased, often showing
diseased character. The courtesies
shown America by Germany have nat
urally not diminished that self-es-
TEEN. How little success excessive
courtesy has, is again shown here.
Certainly the allies can not be blamed
for sparing the United States sensi-
tiveness to the greatest extreme and
in seeking an agreement Herewith.
Regarding the action against Vene-
zuela, the allies not only did so, but
even went to the length Of Offering
President Roosevelt the arbitrator
ship after beginning military action.
He refused, and indeed for the rea-
son that the justice of the case of
the allies was so self-evidcnt that his
decision could only have been unfa-
vorabe to Venezuela, thereby damag-
ing the United States popularity with
the other nations of that hemisphere.
Now that warlike action has begun,
no thumbscrews can be tolerated as
to how far the action taken will ex-
tend. Giving the United States bind
ing promises would divest the action
beforehand of lasting effects. If the
United States raises serious objection
against this she would have to deter
mine what means are at her disposal
to give validity to her objection.
President Castro's demand that the
powers raise the blockade and re-
turn the captured vessels must meet
with decisive veto. Otherwise we
shall have a repetition of the dis
grace of OlmuetZ at sea-"
