The presentation in favor of the Rate
bill made by Senator Long. Of Kansas,
was singularly clear and luminous. He
contends that rates could not be made
final beyond the power of the courts
to inquire into certain questions, but
1t must clearly appear that it is so
unjust or so unreasonable as TO amount
TO taking property without Just COM
pensatiop." which would be a violation
of the Constitution. Courts will only
interfere with rates when they arc
clearly cOniscatory. and confiscatory
rates are those which do not give a
fair return on the property employed
in performing the service. 1t would be
a judicial question 10 determine wheth-
er a maximum rate fixed by the Com
mission was snehqas to permit fair
return for tbeI service. and Congress
could and should not interfere with
this judicial FUNCTION. The rights OF
the carriers were, amply protected un-
der the Hepburn bill and the present
Jurisdiction of the courts. whose power
would neithet. be, restricted nor en-
Iarged. While,'he was satisfied that all
the rights of nine railroads were pro-
tected by the eP.HsBburn bill. in order

There is strong talk Of appointing
Lieut-Gen. Chaffce as Police Commis-
sioner of New York to succeed Col.
Bingham. AS was TO be expected. Col.
Bingham has run up against lot of
obstacles and men. so that there is a
movement TO oust him. How effective
this movement will he is another ques-
aion. 1t may be that Col. Bingham has
strength enough to overcome the oppo-
sition and carry out his plans. or it may
be that he has developed antagonisms
which will prove TOO strong for him.
In that event Lieut.-Gen. Chaffee might
be given the position.
