just Discrimination in Railway
Rates..


All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer of the Southern Rail
way when he says: There is no divis-
ion of opinion as to the deSirability Of
stopping all secret or unjustly discrim-
inatory devices and practices of what
soeyer character"
Mr. Spencer, in speaking of unjust
~ discriminatory" rates and devices,
makes a distinction which is at once
apparent to common sense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex COM
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to DEAL To abolish such open and
honest discrimination might paralyze
the Industries of cities, States and
whole sections of our national terri
tory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog
ulZ6Q III TIE cOucluSlOuS' Ol Tie 1uleI-
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based on commercial
principles, taking into account the special
conditions which bear upon the commercial
value of the services rendered With the
reservation that rates shall be charged with
out arbitrary discrimination to all shippers
alike under like conditions, the making of
rates should as far as possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit lie develop
ment of the traffic and to produce the great
est results to the public and to the rail-
roads themselves
The present proposal is, as Mr..
Walker D. Hines of Louisville showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
Justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention Of
some government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase "the tempta-
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpOWering and urgent COM
mercial condition. New York Sun.

HILLS PLAN GOES
DEFEAT FOR HARTMAN IN MERGER
NATTER.
Federal Circuit Court of Appeals
OverruieS New Jersey Court
and Directs That Injunction
Against Distribution of SeCuri-
ties Stock Be Dissolved.

Philadelphia, Jan. 4.-The United
States court of appeals for the Third
judicial district, in an opinion filed
here yesterday, reverses decision Of
the New Jersey circuit court which
restrained the Northern Securities
Company from distributing certain
stock of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company. The decision is defeat
for the interest represented by E. H.
Harriamn. By decree of the New
Jersey court the Northern Securities
Company was restrained from dispos-
ing of $40, $40 shares of common stock
of the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany, alleged to have been received
from E. Fl. Hartman and Winslow S.
Pierce and BAT 900 shares of the com
mon stock of the same company re.
ceived by the Northern Securities Com
pany from the Northern Pacific Rail
road company.
Yesterdays decision, however, gives
the Northern Securities Compatny the
right to dispose Of the stock. Harri-
man and Pierce, when the Northern
Securities Company had been declared
by the United States supreme court to
be an illegal combination, demanded
the return of the original stock they
had contributed at the time of the Or
ganization Of the com bination. The
Northern Securities Company. it was
claimed, intended to make pro rata
distribution of the stock of the con.
tributing company. The opinion was
written by Judge Dallas. After re-
viewing the organization of the COM
bination and subsequent history, the
decision says:
Hartman averred that the shares
of railway stock in question were &C.
quired by the Securities Company;
that it would hold them as custodian,
depository, trustee and owner Of said
shares for the parties who originally
exchanged the same for stock in the
Northern Securities Company.
1.-THE Northern Securities Company
claimed that it acquired the stock by
purchase and that it owns the stock
outright
a fter quoting the resolution under
which the stock was acquired, the
opinion says the resolution contem-
plated a purchase and not trust, and
that the resolution was adopted at
meeting at which Hartman was pres
ent.

Bill to Place All the Railroads OF

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator New

joint resolution providing for a com.
mission with instructions to frame and
report to congress a national incorpor-

posed by the resolution, the senator
says, has nothing to do with the recent
suggestion of Commissioner Garfield,
which he said simply covered the ques.
ton of licenses to manufacturing cor
porations engaged in interstate COM
merce. Its purpose, he said, is to uni.
fy and simplify the railroad systems of
the country, to place such systems un'

fixed and certain, and to make divld'
ends certain, automatically, either
to a betterment Of the roads or an in

Large Industries Passing Into Hands
of Progressive Business Men.
The real estate and mines of Cuba,
as well as new manufacturing indus
tries, are going into American hands.
Some Spanish speaking Americans,
American born but naturalized Gu
bans, have told the writer that already
40 per cent of the Cuban land is owned
by Americans. This probably Is an
overestmate but the truth lies in that
direction. During the terrible war
owners of large plantations of from
5000 to 10000 acres were driven by the
butcher, Weyler, into the cities. Sup
plies arose to starvation prices, for
100000 people starved to death Their
plantations were useless. Spaniards
burned their sugar plantations, de-
stroyed their buildings, and even cut
down their mango trees. leaving moth
