The objection Ut the stutute of Missouri violates the clanse of the fonrteenth amendment, which prohibits a state to deny to any person within its juris- dietion the equal protection of its Laws, untenable as that which we ha l “The statite makes no. diserimination against 1y railioad company in its requirements, sach company s subject to the sume lability, and from cach the sams sceurity, by the | erection of fanees, nd cattle-gnards, is T exactod, whon 1ts vond passes throngh, atong or adjoining inclosed or cultivated fields or uninclosed lands. There is no evasion of t rule of equality where all compani jected to the samo duties and tho sa tiew under similar eireumstances. This ause is not only of interest to the farmers of Missouri, but to those of many other states, which have a simitar law and m which like cases have arisen. In Town a case in almostevery respect iden tical with that in Missouri is now before the supreme court of the United States A farmer in Humboldt county obtained judgment against a railway company for 24 for the killing of throe hogs. The railrond company carrvied the ease to the supreme court on const tutional grounds, wuing that as the slanghtered swing worth only $15, according to the timony of the owner, the amount rded was doubtles given under sce- jon 1,280 of the Iowa code which permits a judgment for double the value of the stock killed, nnd which section, claimed by the railvoad company, is ro pugnant to the foorteenth amendment of the fedoral constitution, The decision in the Missouri ease virtually doecides the Towa case and all similar su £, and this is the reason no doubt that a motion was made by the railrond company, plaintify in error, to dism'ss the appeal ¢ from lowa. The motion was doniod, however, as a aecison is no doubt de- sired to estabhish once and forever thoe constitut onulity of the Jlowa law, although, in view of the decision in the Missouri case, it can uo longer be ques- tioned, The Railvoad Situation, Lesa than & month ago the eapitalista and business men of Omaha worked themselves into a white heat over the pro- posed railvond from Omaha wp the Elk horn vall The threat of tho Chicago & Northwestern that it would carry Ne- braska freights for uothing, scews to have produced the effeet which the hull-dozing managers desived.

The Grand Island Independint es tention of the railrond commissionors to a case of outragoons discrimination by the B. & M. railrond. The dndependent lias done its duty, but the commission er will. Itisa waste of timne to call attention of the commission to any- thing except a broken windmill, a dis- jointed pump-handle, & worn-ont plate form, an objectionablo corn-crib, or to some case involving about forty-five oents—an amount which railrond eom- vios will, under pressire and for the sake of advertising the wonderful power of theiv own beautiful commission, re- fund in cases of overcharge. The case of discrimination, which has justly avoused the indignation of the Is the | Grand 1sland Tndependent, is briefly this: A wholesale liquor and eigar house in that city received an order from o tomer at Kenesaw. Aware of the fact that the goods could reach Kenesaw the same day of shipment, and knowi no private agreemont between the road companies, whereby o ship- per was prohibited from selecting his own route, they shipped the goods over the Union ific. Shortly after they received word that the agent of the B & M. at Kearney refased to receive and forward the goods on ac count of an agreement between the ronds, whereby eaeh road was bound not to receive goods from the other road for a point that eould be reached by its own road. The B. & M. claimed that Kene- saw could be reached from Grand Island y the 1 M. alone, and hence it s w violation of the compact between tho roads for the U. P, to receivoe tho goods for Kenesaw ow any point on the B. & M., except Lincoln and Omaha, where the U, P could complete the ship- ment, and on said account the B. & M positively refused to earry tho goods from Kearney to Kenosaw, The Grand Island houso referred the matier to headguart and receiving no immedinte answer supposed the goods Lind been forwarded. Last Friday, how- ever, twenty-one days after shipment, the; ived notico that the agent at Kearney still refused to forward the oods, and if they wanted to goet the ship- ment through they must ship back to Grand Island, or ship via Lincoln on the Burlington & Miszonri to Kenesaw. This would compel a shipment of 212 miles, wherens the distance via Kearney and Hastings, on the Grand Island & St Joe voud, is only 45 miles. If there ever 1so of outrageous diserimination nly one, but the probability lief wha r will be aftorded comnissione!

That it will be buriod be- yond resirroetion by the next legislature We have every reason to believe, judging from the prosent temper of the people. The Hog Cholera. When the hog cholera struck this stato lust year its ravages were prin confined to the tier of ¢onnties ordering on the Mizsouri and north of the Platte. While the 1oss last year was enormous, its efiect was felt comparatively by only asmall seetion of the state, This ye the epudemic has extendod into nearl) every county, and what is singnlar in the section ravaged lust year those who were lucky enough to escape losses at that time re the heaviestsufforers now. In central Nebraska alone the loss by hog cholera this year will reach fully $2,000,000. All the scienco that live stock breeding has called to its waid hus failed utterly to check the terrible scourge. The effoct upon farmors is very discouraging. With corn down to twelve to twenty cents a bushel, the farmer has been do prived through the loss of hogs of the wost profitable way of disposing of this product.
