Testing the Validity of the Inter
state Commerce Law.
ThewltlilinliliiiKiif tlies.uprenie court's
decision in the Jirown interstate com
merce wine, which (UestioiiM the rlfiht
of witnesses to refuse In make ini iim
InalliiB testlnuiiiy, anil which is salil
upon good authority to huw len iloelil
etl in tho novernuieiit's favor, is ex
plained by the ussei tln that the court
wishes to uniiounce its funllnu;M In two
Other Interstate commerce cases at the
Biinu time. One of theso collateral
rases relates to the loni and short
liuul clause; nnd the other Is known as
the Import rate case.
The Import rate case contests the
right of railroad companies to make a
less rate from the seaboard to the In
terior on shipments In transit from
abroad to the Interior than is made on
similar slilntnonts originating at the
seaboard. In this case the Texas and
J'iiclflc railroad claims thnt In order to
compote with steamship lines It is com
pelled to make a lower rate from New
Orleans to Sai: Francisco on furt-lKii
freight than It makes mi domestic
freight originating In New Orleans. It
specifies that such discrimination. i.iiik
ttiR all the way trimi 00 to 200 per cent..
Is forced by competition of the water
line from Kuropo around Cape Horn to
San Francisco, the line direct to the
American ports, the waler line via the
Isthmus of Panama to tho Pacific
roast, the Canadian water lines, and the
water nnd rail lines within tlv. t'nlted
States from the east to thy west.
The main points upon which the gov
ernment contorts) theso claims nro thus
outlined by the government's counsel,
Simon Sterne, of Xev.' York:
1. The Interstate ootninerre act In terms
applies to tratllo of forelKti origin as well
us to that of ilnmrxtle origin, anil in
cludeHinitsinhihltory and punHiw cl;uisi;
against discrimination, all traffic cumlag
from a fin-clvii poll to any point In the
I'nlted States, and does nut allow any
exception from such provWIons which
would, either In terms nr by Implication,
permit any railway company to discrim
inate In favor of foreign against home
products by giving preferential or diserini
'InatlnK rates In favor of the. former as
against the latter.
2. The provisions of the second nnd third
aeetlons of the Interstate commerce act
are rigid rules of action, which may not
be disobeyed by the curlier for uny reu
sons of expediency or business considera
tion whatever. They are declarations of
a public policy superior to any views of
policy adopted by the railways, and If to
be charged, change should not be per
mitted to be made by a disregard of the
law, hut by on amendment thereof by the
congress of the I'nlted States. .
H. There Is no Justification In English
law, and no ustitieatlon can be found In
American law, for a discrimination be
tween goods like in character and qunntity
going from one terminal of a railway to Its
other terminal, on the ground that there
Is a competition of markets for the busi
ness oC one of Its terminals.
It Is stated In trustworthy Washing
ton advices that the Supreme court has
derided all of these cases In the gov
ernment's favor, although In the Ilrown
rase there Is to bo a dissenting; opinion.
The confirmation of this prediction
would mark the beginning nf a new era
In the regulation of interestat? com
merce by federal authority. Excellent
as the Interstate law has been in Inten
tion. It has hitherto broken down At the
vital point because of the povernment's
Inability, under the rulings of district
courts, to compel wltnoi-sea to testify.
Necessarily only two parties In any
case are Informed as to the fact of dis
crimination the shipper, who gets the
favor, and the railroad company which
jrlves It. Even In the Import rate case,
the government would have been power
leas had not the general counsel of the
Texas and Pacific company frankly con
fessed to the granting of discriminatory
rates and professed a willingness tado
fend such discrimination on around of
equity. As a rule, railroad officials are
not so frank, nor can shippers be ex
pected, except under compulsion, to di
vulge secrets by which they dlreetjy
benefit.
Hence the effort to have the Supreme
court decide In plain words whether
federal regulation of Interstate' com
merce Is to be a fact or a fiction.
If real merit were of any especial ac
count In politics, tha resolutions of the
Iowa Republican convention catling; at
tention to Senator Allison's, ripe ability,
and to his varied but well-balanced
experience as a director of national af
fairs forx -thirty-five years", would" be
likely to ttirn the hurrah tide In Ills
favor. Uut the trend of political favor
itism just no.r is ull toward the spec
tacular. - -
The platform of the Ohio Republicans
who on Tuesduy launched the McKlnley
boom "demands the use of both prold
and silver as standard money either
In accordance with a ratio to be fixed
by an international agreement. If that
can he obtained, or under such restric
tions and such provisions, to be deter
mined by legislation, as will secure the
maintenance of the parities of values
of the two metals." Xow look out for
a "gold bug" raid on McKlnley, charg
ing him with being a straddler.
The Raines Bill.
An Interesting liquor, law Is before the
people of Xew York state In what is
known as the Raines bill. It has passed
the senate and received the sanction of
the majority caucus In the house. It
therefore will doubtless reach the gov
ernor, who. It Is said, will sign it.
The bill, as summarized by the Troy
Times, fixes a tax rate as follows on
every hotel, saloon, restaurant nnd club
where liquor Is sold: Eight hundred
dollars In cities with a population t
. ",00.000 or more (New York); SOf.O in
cities of less than l.fiOO.UUU and more
than 5O(i,0(l (iirooklyn); $"';il in cities of
loss than QOO.OOO and more than ."0,000;
J;;50 in c ities or villages of less than f0,
OUO and more than lO.doo; $:suo In cities
or villages of less than K'.oOti and more
than 5,000; SJO'i in villages Of I'ss tluin
5.UU0 and more than l.OOo, and $100 In all
other places.
Xo person or corporation cnniltietins
a dry goods, grocery or drug business is
permitted to sell liquors tti be drunk
on the premises, unless such trallle is
carried on In a place not connnunicat
ini; with the other store. Certificates
are Issued for soling liquor In quantities
less than live gallons, not to be drunk
on the premises. The charges for tins
tdass ure t'M) In cities excotdlng l,r,00,000
In population; M00 In cities between
500,000 and 1,500.000; $;!00 In cities be
tween ."0,000 and GO0.000; $'.'00 in cities or
villages between 10.000 and 50.000: J100
ill titles or villages between 5,000 and
10.000; $7."i 111 villages between 1,000 and
5,000, and $."i0 In all other places. IM-iik-glsts
who sell liquors upon the proscrip
tion of a physician are to be taxed $100
in Xew York; $75 In Iirooklyn; $W in
cities of less than 500.000 and more than
50,000 population; $U0 in cities of less
than 50.000 and more than lo.OiiO; $:0 In
cities or vllltiges of less than 10,000 and
more than 5.000; $15 In villages of loss
than 5,000 nnd more than 1.000. and $10
in all other places. All steamboats and
railway curs ou which liquor Is Mold
must pay a tux of $L'00.
Kurh receiver of a certificate must
give a bond for a sum at least twice his
tax, and in no case less thun $r,oo. There
are strict provisions against Sunday
liquor selling, except with meals at ho
tels. Clubs are placed In the saint
class with other liquor dealers. Xo
new saloon can be established within
200 feet of a church or school, or within
200 feet of any residence without the
consent of two-thirds of the owners.
Xo certificate will be granted to places
where gambling or anything else un
lawful Is curried on. Careful regula
tion of every portion of the trallio is
provided for. nnd the business Is placed
in the hands of n state excise commis
sioner and assistants, who form a force
costing the stale about $:'.'iO,000 annual
ly. All local excise boards ale abol
ished, the state taking full harge of nil
liquor selling. Two-thirds of the
moneys received go to the several com
munities, and one-third to the state.
It will be seen that this measure clif
fois little, except In a few details, from
the Rrooks law of Pennsylvania, it
Improves upon thut law in taking thc
duty of passing upon applicants for 11
censo away from the license yourt
judges and vesting it In a state com
mission, similar to that proposed by tho
llaokenberg bill which has twice been
defeated at llurrisbuig. This differ
ence, of course. Is radical, und will Im
mensely strengthen the political Impor
tance of the pubernntorial otHc-o; but
the change can hardly be for the worse,
In Xew York state, while a similar
change In Pennsylvania would be ftr
the better provided the license commis
sion were made up of honest men, well
paid and appointed for life or during
good behavior.
Is Senator Hoar, who has recently
been so eager to delay action regarding
Cuba, the same Senutor Hoar Alio, a
couple of months afro, wnnt.'d to pitch
Into Turkey forthwith, because of Ar
menia? If so, Is It distance thnt lends
enchantment to his belligerent view?
'--
In Regard to W'eyler.
At a time when two or three timid
senators are preventing this govern
ment from granting the moral aid of
Its recognition to the people of Cuba,
on the ground that we should not ex
asperate our dear friend, Spain, It Is
interesting to read the Incidents of
Weylor's prior activity as Spain's com
missioned butcher which are vouched
for by Gonznlo de Qttesada. secretary
of the Cuban delegation in Washington,
being translated by him from the manu
scripts of an unpublished history Man
uel de la Cruz, th" Cuban litterateur
and author who recently died in Xew
York. The original record of these In
cidents Secretary Quesadn has thus
transcribed In a letter to the Philadel
phia Press:
"Inning the last war tlenernl Wevler !
did not distinguish himself by militurex- I
plolls. As a soldier he was an obscure
commander of a column.' Ills oprations
were in the territories of Camamtev and I
lumas: his reputation Is hHSed on his
atrocities. The dance at CJuainiaro Js
famous in Puerto 1'rlnclpe. He captured
a number of ladles of the best society ot
this province. The were taken to the vil
lage of OiiHlmHro. Around a large bon
.llr In the center of the public square, he
placed the defenceless women. The fero
cious hordes cf negroes who composed the
Fourth company of his command were
ordere I to violently undress the prison
ers. Tnen they played an African dance
nnd the unfortunate Cubans who refused
to participate were whipped In- YtVyler
himself. Hut even worse than the fore
going." Manuel He La Cruz continues.
"was the crime committed bv AVeyler on
Senorita llomero. Weyler ordered the lat
ter to proiiose to her daughter the sacri
fice to him of her honor ami virtue. The
distracted mother, under threats of death,
entreated in vain with the young woman."
Colonel Weyler offered this dilemma:
The Senorita must choose between him
and the black soldiers of the already
famous and sadly-celebrated Fourth com
pany. Senorita Romero did not vacillate;
she Indignantly exclaimed: "Hetween
you, monster, and the Fourth company,
1 do not hesitate; give me up to the Fourth
company." Can Air. liupuy De Lome or
Weyler deny this when Cruz solemnly de
clares: "In lsj.9. In a house at Nuevltas,
thin and emaciated as a specter, her hair
white, a complete wrc;-k, an idiot I saw
the sad vlcti.a of that Infamy " Can
Wcylt r cX'-'U.-e himself by sa log lie was
obeying orders of his superiors'.'
Senor Ouosada suggests that Senor
de Lome, the Spanish minister at Wash
ington, request from Weyler a confes
sion or a denial its to these specilic
charges. The suggestion is timely. If
Weyler did these things dining the ten
years' war, when h" vns only a sub
ordinate olliccr. It Is reasonable to ex
pect worse deeds from hltu, now that he
is conimandtT-lt'.-ehii f, w ith no fear of
In hifr called to account. Furthermore,
if this Is the kind of warfare Spain
wants to wage In Cuba, It will become
pcitineiit for the people of the I'nlted
States to ask themselves whether they
wish to remain moral accomplices to It.
Let us therefore have a clear under
standing as to the facts.
An example of how one's tb.ou.eht Is
often vetoed by the types was shown in
! yesterday's Tribune in the paragraph
vhliii, as printed, read: "It is fortu
nate that the supply of Republican sen
atorial timber In Kentucky Is so much
on the sapling order." As written, the
word, of course, was "unfortunate;"
but I'. seems to be as yet an Iridescent
dream to hopo for such a perfection In
j newspaper work an will obviate such
exasperating slips of type or pen. The
' ideal newspaper of the future will have
to have not only infallible editors and
reporters but also pn.yf readers verg
ing on omniscience.

In Rochester the proceedings of the
Board of Education nnd also of coun
cils are officially reported verbatim. In
designated newspapers, ut advertising
rates. Sometimes a council re:iort oc
cupies a page, and costs the taxpayers
morttthan $50. A proposition to Intro
duce this custom in Scranton would
cause the average local councilman to
have a lit.
The Chicago Tillies-Herald Is getting
quit; excited upon the subject of the
llnuncial plank to be adopted at S'.
Louis; it lakes Italics to say that that
plunk "must be an unreserved, abso
lute, plain und sincere asserticn that,
while bllver has its proper place In
modern currency, there la but one
standard of money in the world recug
nized as supreme, namely, gold."
.
Hecuuse Senor PI y Margall, a Span
ish Republican leader, said Ctlbu ought
to be free, the Spanish government, we
are told In a Madrid despatch, "serious
ly discussed the Institution of crim
inal proceedings against him." On sec
ond thought, this Idea was abandoned.
Hereafter, however, PI had better
mincematters If he wants to save his
dough.
Representative Terry, of Arkansas,
figures It out that the Democratic na
tional convention will stand more than
fioo to :!00 In favor or the free and un
limited coinage of silver. The fulfil
ment of this prediction would impart
exceedingly cold comfort to Messrs.
Cleveland anil Carlisle.

Intimates that the McKlnley campaign
Is being brought to u focus a month or

Hour's newly acquired contempt fur the
newspapers. It Is reciprocal.
num..; mum sense.
Congressman I'olllver. of Iown. perhaps
the most eloquent political speaker In t ie
I'nlted Slates, nude a masterly speech at
lies Mollies, Wednesday, In presenting to
the lowa Itcpublican convention tne presi
dential candidacy of S-niilor Allison 11"
low ure some of its happy points: "For
months the maintenance of specie pay
ments has b"eti made diflicnll, not Iy
any fear of our own people that our pa
per money Is not iood. that is to say,
will not be paid on ocmiind, hut by a lo.ot

Idleness of llii workmen and the slrvns

possible system of banking and currency
could have stood up against a slate of
foreign trade like Unit, and my solemn
conviction now is thai the way out of
our mlsloiinnis lies In giving hack to the
worklnvmen of tfie Cnited Stale Hi,. 0:i

people.

The Republican party, without concealing
its desire to continue the largest .practi
cable use of silver short of introducing
eiangero'is elements of disturbance and
fluctuation Into our coinage, refuses to
follow th" counsel of either. The true
remedy lies in the prompt provision of an
adequate national revenue. That Is the
first step, and It cannot be taken too soon.
"It Is a pitiful nnd wicked thing to leave
