Reform Press Bureau, St. Paul, Feb. 5, 1900. The most important state political event of the week—and a most import- ant one—has been the decision in the Ramsey county district court, at the hands of Judge Bunn, recognized as one of the ablest jurists in the state, of the celebrated coal rate case, in which, through the railway and warehouse commission of the state, Governor Lind has been for a year endeavoring to se- cure a just and equitable rate on coal for the people of the southwestern part of the state, from Duluth. The fact that the commission ordered a reduction of the rate from {2.55 to $1.95 per ton, from Duluth to New Ulm, is widely known, as well as that the railway com- panies resisted, taking the case to the district court. y The court finds for the state in two points: First, that the railway commission under the law has the power to compel railroads to establish joint tariffs when roads are so related as the St. Paul and Duluth and Minneapolis and St. Louis, in the case in point. Second, that it had the power to es- tablish reasonable rates for such service, and that the joint rate in question was unreasonable and exorbitant, being higher than the wheat rate. The point of interest, aside from the removal of the injustice under which the people of this section have long suf- fered, is the application of the Miller bill, which Governor Lind vetoed dur- ing the last session. The manner in which Governor Lind’s judgment in the veto preventing that bill to become a law is vindicated, is thus stated by Gov- ernor Lind: “As the law now stands the decision of the commission, after a hearing, is prima facie correct, and the rate established by it just and reasonable. The burden of proof, as the court well puts it, ison the railroad company to establish the unrea- sonable and confiscatory character of the rate established. “Tf the Miller bill had become a law, the rate established in the first instance would have stood as prima facie fair and reasonable rate—for the iaw authorizes the railroad companies to fix tates in the first place and that which the law author- izes to be done is presumed to be rightly done until the contrary is shown, and the burden of proof would then have rested on the state at all stages to show that the railroad company’s rate was unre: and that the proposed rate was reasonable. This the commission could not do, as all the evidence bearing on the question isin the hands of the rail- road company. important point estab- lished by the decision is that the St. Paul and Duluth railroad, or any other com- peny, whose business origimates in the cannot be -boycotted by the other railroa When the commission made its decision in respect to the joint rates from Duluth, the Minneapolis and St. Louis company terminated a traffic agree- ment with the Duluth road, which has been in force for years, 2nd brought. coal from West Superior, in Wisconsin, to supply the points affected by the decision, claiming that by making it interstate traffic it was not subject to the rates es- tablished by the state authorities. They absolutely refused to carry coal delivered to them by the St. Paul and Duluth. Un- der this decision’ they carinot persist in this course.” Commenting further, Governor Lind says: “Tf I had signed the Miller bill, this de- cision could not have been rendered. 1 hope that poor Miller can now sec the matter in its true light. I have never be- lieved for a moment that he would have fathered the bill accredited to him had he known its inherent viciousness.”” The brave fight Senator Pettigrew is making in the senate, to bring to the light of day such of the iniquities in the Philippine islands as the McKinley ad-} ministration has thus far been able to hide, wins the approval of every true lover of liberty. His effort to have the contents of the Aguinaldo appeal to the civilized world known, and the Filipino chief’s statement of his relations with American officers of the consular, navy and army service is specially commenda- ble. We have received a copy of the appeal, as translated from the original Spanish, and every honest man who reads it will unhesitatingly confess that if one-half that is recited there is true, its publication should be prevented at all hazards, for the salvation of the ad- ministration. The appeal is under te seal of the Phil- ippine republic, dating from June, 1898, which succeeded the dictatorial govern- ment of which Aguinaldo was the head, which in turn came from the revolu- tionary government of August, 1896. Thus the Philippine government which we have overthrown, was in existence two years before the Cuban war broke out, and when Dewey arrived at Manila independence was nearly .won over the Spanish. Aguinaldo gives with partic- ularity his relations with American of- ficers and authorities, and how at their request he came to Manila and turned the Filipino forces into active allies on both land and sea. The celebration ‘of their Independence Day, (our Fourth), on June 12, 1898, was attended by our officers and soldiers, Dewey himself only excusing himself on account of being busy with ‘mail day.” This was trne of the adoption of the Philippine flag, which our © ships saluted, and numerous other con- vincing incidents. Aguinaldo asserts that independence for his people was distinctly understood, known as well to Admiral Dewey, and assented to by him, as by all the rest. Itis the clear de- duction from all the facts, that Amer cans ;and natives alike had no other idea until McKinley’s proclamation of sovereignty dashed the Filipino hopes to earth, and precipitated the contest. What a chapter this will be when placed before all the people, conclusive of the wickedness of the McKinley “criminal aggression.”’ And noticeable is it also, that the ‘denial’? which Dewey ‘has made confirms in his own words that we are guilty of war on our “allies,” for the admiral says in the Lodge letter: “I never treated him (Aguinaldo) as anally except to make use of him and his soldiers to assist me in my operations against the Spaniards.”’ What does the world say of a nation that, unprovoked, makes war on its allies! What is thore to be said of the awful tragedy in Kentucky, where as a natural sequel to overawing of the polls by troops and United States marshals, as well as by wholesale corruption in the ballot boxes, the man honestly chosen by the people, also through a test of manhood and personal courage rarely if ever equalled and never velled, is strickén down by the as ball! Brave Goebel; rising on your sup- posed deathbed to take the oath of of- fice, while the life-blood oozed freshly from your wounds, you have earned life and the victory you have won. may the Republican Pioneer Pre burst of candor remark that t ing of Goebel “tis a severe blo; Republican cause in Kentuck appropriate that the Republican ramp government, bag and baggage, betook itself to the “feud county,” and the mountain abode of the thugs and mur- derers who have been used by the party of Lincoln to again disgrace the ‘dark and bloody ground” of Kentucky. Should death claim this brave spirit, well may it be said of him: Or in the battle’s van ‘The fittest place for man to die Is where he dies for man.” W. J. Bryan on ‘Destiny’: Speak- ing of destiny, it was the destiny of Cain to slay Abel, but it was also his destiny to wear the brand of a mur- derer forever afterwards. While farmers are revelling in 50-cent wheat, and business men carefully scan their books, to di: sr on which side of the ledger the balance stood for 1899, the Republican trusts measure their grain to the following tune of 1899 profits: Per cent. Central Trust......\...... Farmers’ Loan and Trust N. Y. Life Insurance and Union Trust.........55.-< U.S. Mortgage and Trus Mer:antile Manhattan, . N.Y. Security Trust. Continental Tru: Guaranty Trust ts 40 It is for ‘“‘business”’ of this class that Hanna spoke, on McKinley inaugura- tion day, 1897, when he declared “this will be a business administration.’’ Also the same that he had in mind when, after the 1896 scare that Bryan gave him was over, he wired McKiuley: “God reigns, and the Republican party still lives.”’ One thing is certuin, regarding the use of the flag this campaign, that the G.°O. P. will not wrap “Old Glo around them as of yore. The flag will be. the emblem of the Liberty party, those who would have the flag still stand, as under Lincoln, ‘‘for liberty for all men, everywhere.”’ Let all of our friends hang out the flag. Up with the glorious old banner of the free, espe- cially our papers! And speaking of the “‘flags’’ in South Africa, that is a good one, in which the old Boer is represented as saying: ‘“T know the British flag, I’ve seen it lots of times. It’s white.” The gold reserve is now jogging along downwards at quite the Cleveland pace, standing at but little over $215,000,000, as against $252,000,000 in November. The present rate of loss approaches $1,- 000,000 a day, and while gold leaves, sil- ver slowly rises, standing above the 60 point. While silver rises, so does wheat. And to kcep up the record, another big Wall street house has gone to the wall—gone to take the gold cure. | And while people go on taking the gold care for financial ills the army of Indiana coal miners, 70,000 strong, is about to march out on strike against gold wages! To the war in Africa, which advances the rate of interest, financiers ascribe one of the causes for the low price of wheat. Another is the McKinley war tax. The one would be removed were the United States on a financial policy of independence of Great Britain, the other, by stopping this oly war of conquest in the Philippines. And here is Mayor Gray of Minne- apolis speaking of McKinley’s secretary of state as ‘Little Breeches!” And speaking of Mayor Gray, two , years from now, he may cast an eye to the governor’s chair. Just now he and the Minneapolis boys are attending to that second term which all hands con- cede the mayor will receive in reward for his excellent administration. G. 8, C.
