TELEGRAPH REGULATION.
Recent Changes in Omaha Excite ne
Little Surprise.


Little Surprise.
San Francisco Chronicle.
An Omaha paper states that the Inter-
state Commerce commission has taken up
the question Of leased wires and maintains
that furnishing large companies with spe.
cial facilities constitutes a discrimination
against small customers. AS a result Of
this position oil through wires and only
pony wires running into the main tele-
graph offices in Omaha were left. It 10
difficult to perceive where the discrimina-
tion occurs in such cases. The presumption
is that the telegraph companies, when wires
are leased, provide the additional facilities
without interfering with their general busi-
ness. and that they do not deny to any
one the privilege Of leasing o wire. Evi-
IDENTIFY the commission is proceeding on tho
assumption that the telegraph companies
have no right to make arrangements which
may cheaper telegraphy to those using the
wires on an extended scale, but It is hardly
probable that the courts viii sustain such
a position.

The people won the first round in
the fight for terminal taxation, but
this only rendered the railroad cohorts
more desperate. The battle that ragged
in the hotel Hobbies at Lincoln was the
fercest that has been known in many
years. 1t. is the last stand of the rail-
road satraps in Nebraska. If the peo-
pie win this time they are practically
assured of the right to control their
own affairs in the future.

The passing of the pass also means
the determination of the railroad
