IMPORTANT LITIGATION.

The action Of Judge Rose in overruling
the demurrer on behalf of the States
Attorney and Sheriff in the Washington
and Rockville Railway suit means that the
Federal court proposes to try the merits Of
the case and nothing more. except that by
submitting the demurrer counsel for these
officials have awaited themselves of an
opportunity to challenge the Jurisdiction of
the Federal court over this litigation. which
objection to Jurisdiction can be again urged
before the Supreme Court of the United
States should occasion require it,
The burden is still on the company to
show, and show conclusively, that the
State statute regulating the fares Of the
railway constitutes violation Of the Con-
stitution of the United States by confisca-
ting the property Of the company
The success which has thus far been
attained in forcing the company to place
the law in practical operation and the inn
mense volume Of business done by the
company during the five months thus far
in operation. it is believed will serve to
make IL very hard for the company to show
that the rates provided by the Henderson
law are either unfair or confiscatory.
The company naturally resents the idea
Of being regulated, and will doubtless spare
neither expense nor effort to fasten on
the people rates sufficiently high to cover
all fictitious Or watered valuations involved:
and the defense being made for the people
If successful. means many thousands Of
dollars to the people Of this county. as the
valuations to be fixed in this suit will
doubtless form the basis for the rates on
this railway for many years to come.
The officers Of the county are given by
the court ten days to plead and thirty days
to answer. After answer, it will be for
the railway company to show the actual
value Of its property and prove that the
rates provided are insufficient to yield a
fair income on the property, which is now
assessed for taxation in this county at less
than$7 S. 900. although the company claims
il to be worth $330,000. The gross in
come last year was over $4,000. The
practical questions are How much Of this
valuation is watered How much Of the
expenses charged up are legitimate and
properH And what has been the practical
effects Of the new law, to increase or d.
minish the net incomef
