The State Can Regulate.

The powers Of a State in rail-
way matters were passed upon
by the Supreme Court of the
United States on Monday, in the
suit of the Alabama and Missis-
sippi railway company against
the State railroad commission of
Mississippi.
Equality of local rates was the
direct question involved, but
the court said: While a State
may not compel a railroad to do
business at a loss and railroad
may insist as against the power
of the State to establish such
rates as will afford reasonable
compensation for the service
rendered" etc. This plainly
implies that a State may fix rates
that are reasonable, and the
court goes on to consider the in.
terstate feature by declaring
that the public power of a State
cannot be defeated in respect
to any local shippers by arrange
ments made with or to favol
outside companies. " This Ger
tainly proves that the Nevada
legislature has the upperhan'
with regard to all the railway
entering this State.
1t is up to the representative
who attend the coming sessio
at Carson to act. No railwa
must ever again dominate ou
legislature. Reno Journal.

Anson McCook Beard is still firm in his decision
to send to Governor Hughes account of what he
considers the outrageous treatment of his client,
Joseph H Suzbacher, the Stock Exchange bro
ker, who is accused of attempting TO influence a
grand jury witness in a case in which he is in
terested. This despite the fact that Mr.. Beard
yesterday apOloszed in the Tombs court to the
District Attorney for his charges. Sulzbacher
was to be examined yesterday, but the examina-
ton went over on account of the illness of the
chief witness, Henry S Wyatt who, it Is alleged
Sulzbacher tried to influence The District Attor-
ney, however. was bent upon vindicating himself.
Magistrate CorTigan. who sat in the Tombs court
had refused to accept real estate or cash bond
when Sulzbacher arrested, and the prisoner
was compelled TO spend the night in the Tombs
On Wednesday he released on So 600 cash bail
Mr. Beard thought the fact that SuIzbacher was
taken to Magistrate Corrigans home instead of to
the night court, revealed a conspiracy against his
client IN the District Attorneys office Mr. Jerome
said:
