The progress of rallroads west of the Mis- s'ssippl since the openingof the Unlon Pacifio, half a generation ago, has been marvellous, From the British pos- soselons on the north to the Mexican plateaus on the eouth, the country Is orossed by a net-work of iron bands, Where one transcontinental system supplied our ‘rade and commerce, alx are now cither completed or under way and numbers of speers and feed- ers are sonding ont thelr fingers to open up new sectioas of country and attract businees to the great systems of which they are the part. There has been a Iall in railroading buliding durlog the first quarter of the present year, but there lo atill a great deal of sotlvity in he routhweat where iso. latad ronds are belng joined Into great nystems and branches and feeders are penetrating into valleys and openiog up hamlets which kave been hereto- fore neglected. Both esst and west scem to bo well enpplled with trank lines, It ls scarcely probable that for many years to come another transcon- tinental route will be projected. Rall- rond bul'ders must now find a field for thelr ac'ivity 11 stre giheningeystems already in operation by the construc. tlon of local roads. OmanA's board of publlo works con- tioues to diffsr in opinion with itsalf with wholenome frequency. Mr Mack seems to be a very successful bidder for all the stone paving con- tracts, ~ Herald Yes. Mr. Mack made one sucoess- fal bid to the board of public works and secured the contract for paving Tenth street. However he secured such contract after conelderable diffi- culty and in the face cf an awkward and transparent attempt to defrand him out cf his legal rights for the benefit of certain partles and corpora- tlons. When he did secure the con- tract 1t was with the unanimous con- sent of the board, the olty ¢ uscll and the mayor, simply because he was the lowest responstble bidder for the ma- terial designated by the property own- era on the atreet. I is not probable, however, that Mr. Msck will be able to eecure another contract for some time, judging by the conduot of & majority of the board of publio works at its last sesslon. An iofla- ence that reaches from the state peni- tentiary at Lincoln up to U, P, head- quarters has manifestly a good deal more to dowith the decisions of at least two members than the interest of the property owners. Perhaps Mayor Ohase and the new council will have a word to say as to the approval of contraocts for ourbing and guttering, —— 81, Louis Is begioning to see through a millstoue with a hole in fc. The application of & new gas company tor a fanchite to lay mains in her streets is arousing her cit/zans to the fact that such a right is a valuable plece of property anc owght not to be granted without s good eonalderation, The Pust Dispatch warns the couneil agalost the oriminal folly of giving something for nothing, of granting valuable franchises withont receiving any contideration, It quotes the in- stance of the old gas company’s his- tory and says: ‘‘We should not need another reminder of the oriminal folly of eiving away under any pretense of public franchise, a municipalasset, ashare in the olty's resources, without receiving directly and permanently value for value and dollar for dollar, and we warn the municipal assembly that it will not be safe for them to do is.” Biur Sprioger made the response to the toast ‘*Shall Monopolies Rul¢?’ at the big Injun banquet held in €ai. oago the other night. Bill has heid a seat in congress for the last ten years, and his record fails to show any serl- ous effort on his part to check the do- minlon of monopolies. T 1e only mo- nopoly bill has steadily oppoeed hae been the monopoly of patronage held by the republican party. Rights of Railroad Commissioners. The valldity of any and all laws passed by a state for the creation of a board of rallroad commissioners is likely to be tested in the supreme court of the Ualted States before long, A owse will soon be brought befire that tribunal by the Georzia Rallroad and Banking company, which oper- ates the road from Atlantato Augusta and other polnts In Georgls, to resist the right of the Georgla commlassion. era to fix rates of transportation below the minimum eatablishe 1 in their act of incorporation, THE FAOTS IN THE CASE, On the 27¢h of December, 1831, ““An aot to authorizs the formation of a company for constructing a rallroad or turnpike from the city of Augusta to Eatonton, and westward to the Chattahoocheo river,” was passed by the Goorgia leglalature, Oa tho 21st of December, 1833, the above nct was repesled, and “‘An act to Incorporate the Georgla railroad company, with powers to conatruct & ral or turnpike road from the olty of Augusta, with branches extending to” various towns therein named in the state of Georgia, It wlil bo seen that the acts grant the right to build *‘rall or turnpike roads.” 'Phis waa fifty yesrs ago, when there was but about 100 miles of rallroads in the Unlon, The last named aot, Da. cember 21, 1833, has this cleuse in it, “Seotion 12. The ssid Georgia rail- road company shall at all times have the exclusive right of transportation or conveyance of persons, merohan. dise and produce over the rallroad and rallroads to be by them oconstructed while they soe fit to exerclse the ex. olusive right ;‘Provldld that the charge of transportation or conveyance shall not exoeed OO0 cents per 100 lba on heavy articles and 10 cents per cublo foot on articles of measurement for every 100 miler; and 6 ocents per mile for everypassenger. Provided always that the sald company may, when they see fit, rent or farm out all or any part of thelr sald excluelve right of transportation or conveyance of persons on the rallroad or rallroads, with the privilege to any indlvidaal or indlvidaals or company, and for such term as may be agreed, sabject to the rates above mentloned, * * * and the said company saall have power to charge such just and reason- able terms for compensation for stor age and labor as they may by ruies es tablish (which they sall cause to be publishec), or as may be fixed by agreement with the owners, which compensation shall and may be dis- tluet from the aforesald rates of trave- portation, On Dacember 18, 1836 vhe nams of tho rallroad was changed to the Georgla Railroad and Bankiug cowpany, and o it has stood for near- ly 60 yenrs, belrg one cf tho oldest rallroad corporations in the country. On the firat proviso above mentioned hangs mush of the Interest, if not all of it, in thls cause, and a careful per- usal of 1t is suggested POWER OF A STATE RAILROAD O MMISe SN, On March 30, 1882, the Ceorgia Railroad and Backing Company filed a bill at Atlants, Ga., in the Falton county superior court, prayiog tor an fujunction againat the state railroad capital away, Botter let It re- main and pay such taxes as it has & mind to pay than to risk driving it out by the imposition of taxes. Besldes, it Is anpleasant for a rich man to be quentioned about his pos- nessions, His houses and lands are in sight and can be taxed, but his stocks and bonde and othee sources of fncome ot that natare are held as something the publlo has no right to know anythingabout, The New York {dea respecting the rights of property are {llustratod by the elevated rail- roads, which have recently been the aubject of so muach dizonesion. The qenorn! bellef Is that the stock of these rallroads has beon watered until one dollar actually invested s now repre- sonted by four dollara. Thoe charter prohibits the leglalature from reduc ing fares below a {en per cent paylog point, the capltal actually pald in being the basis on which the dividends are to be declared. But the com- panles declare that thelr original cspl- tal is represented by their present amount of stock and bonds, and that [ten per cent dividends muat be allowed 01 the entire amount. When the log ialature passed a law reducing fares there was a cry about driving capital out of the state. The legislature was warned not to repeat the folloy of which California had been guilty, in driviog her rich men abread. The governor was appsiled to with such force that he wavered, and fell, Tho bill was vetoed, and fora time capital i3 safo in Now York. Oae of the commlissioners exforclng cicculars No. 20 and 21 on thatroad. A restrainiog order was granted, and the rallroad continued to charge its old rates, which were much greater than the commiesioners’ rate, The rallroad company by Its attorney, Joseph B. Cumming, had jolned with it, in its bill, Willlam M. Wadley, the lessee of the Georgls rallroad, through his at torney, Gen. A. R. Lawton. OCol Wadley was aleo Preaident of the Can- tral Rillroad and Banking Company of Georgla—a road runuing from Savannab, Ga., westward, parallel to the Gacrgia Rallroad and Banking Oompany. The Georgla railroad clalmed that the commission assumed to prescribe lower rates than the char- ter of that company allowed it to charge, That bill says: The state railroad commission is- saed Febraary 10, 1882, circular No. 20, which was to take effect April 1, 1882. Tals circular reduced the rates of freight on greln and flour very largely onall the rallroads in Georgia, On March 6 the commission itsurd clrcular No 21 to take «ffuot April 1, 1883, reduclug rates on express freight and extra baggagoby passenger trains representatives of capital in that cor- poratlon-ridden clty now openly de- clares that capltal must be protected in acoordance with the views now en- tertalned by the governing classes. This declaration_shculd be sufficient for the people. If any political party approves of 1t, a plank to that effact In a national piatform would demon- strate who are the governing classes, Let the Dude Go, 8pringfleld Republ'can, In an editorfal article the Medical Review polnted out an alleged un. favorable influence of the theatre upon public health. Itesays that late hours, muslo, heat, lights and the strongly emotlonal or sensational plays now prevaleut have an evil ¢ffect upon the healthcf young people, espectally girls. Probably thisis so. The best roast beef is not nourtshing if it be swal- lowed Into the wind - plpe instead of into the stomach, When a young man or yourg woman is so delicate in health, nerves or emotions as to be ivjured by the excitement of that model nuisance, the modern play, he or she ought to be sent to the theatre 1. That said circulars Nos 20 and 21 are not legal and binding; for the rates which they pre:oribe are not just and reasonable rates, bat, on the con— trary, they sre unjust and unreasons— ble ia that they compel your orators to transport the artisies In said olren lars specified at rates whick not only deprive your orators ¢f fair profits on their bustness, but require your ora- tors to oarry on their business without remuaneration. 2, Uader paragraph 1 of section 2 of article 4 of the con- stitation of tho atate of Georgis, the power and anthority’ are conferred and the duty is imposed upon the general assembly to regu'ate freight sud passenger tariffs, and the act of Ootober 14 1879, {s umeconstitational and void as belog an attempt to dele gate leglalative powers to sald railroad commission. 3 Said aetis unconstl- tational, null and vold beeause in con- flise with paragr h 9, aethele 1 of the constitution of ‘the state of Georgla, whioh forbids the imposiwg of ex- cesslve fines or the In- flioting of unusual pumishments 4 The charter of your orators, the Georgia rallroad and bankirg ocom- pany, is & contract between the staie and your said orator.

As atated above, It is the intention of the railroad company to carry the case so the supreme court of the United States. In he celebrated Granger oases that tribunal sffirmed the right of the state to regnlate pailroad charges, but we understand that the right of a state to delegate the power of regulation has not yet been passed upon, ‘The Governirg Ulasses.
