The ' whole ot.f ;n f-. Kq nnncFfttulated on the OUttQ w wv CJ . . . Hflrision of the raUroad commission nra in the base recently brought by certain merchants of Atlanta. The board holds that it has jurisdiction over this matter, and this principle once1 decided there can be no doubt of .thejntention of' the commission to nut an end to unjust discriminations against communities. It wa9 on pre '.iooW .unh an issnfl as this that the MBtlJ kj uu " ! commission wasestablished and organ ized.' For years the Central railroad management, with a blindness that was and is unaccountable, had been discriminating against communities and "individuals along its line, and the result of this, when brought to the attention of the people of the State, was the organization of the commission, charged with the power to make reasonable and just rates and to prevent unjust discriminations between communities and individu als. In the beginning of its career the " vm mission devoted ' itself to the work of preventing discriminations between individuals. Finding them, selves balked' in .this direction, the railroads, through the manipulations of the dooL turned their attention to discriminating against communities, They proposad, in the first place, to make Atlanta their victim, for the reason that they held Atlanta re sponsible for the commission. Pun ishment such as this would probably have been endured several years ago, but aj) this day 'and time, discrimina tiona aeraiast a community are less likely to be tolerated than discrimi nations aeainst individuals. The in justice of such punishment is mani test. The whole State Ts responsible for the railroad laws, and for the commission, and, while Atlanta is not inclined to shirk her responsibili ty, she is unabh to see why she should be selected as the especial victim. The truth of the business is that the recent ruling of the commission is in favor or s every community or. the State. Today Atlanta ia the vie timof discriminations; tomorrow it may be Macon, or Augusta, or any other community. When the board says it has jurisdiction over the mat ter, the decision is of sufficient mo ment to put ,the railroads oh notice that discriminations against comma mties will no mora be tolerated than discriminations against indK viduals. ' Railroad rates differ from other charges in that they are in the nature of taxes imposed on the public. Jn- i reasonable or discriminating charges are a tax on certain communities or individuals for the benefit of the rest, and it is rather; singular, in view of the attitude of the public, that rail road managers do not show an in clination to accept the inevitable and make tha moat of it. .

Van Wyck desired to take up the bill taxing railroad lands, but yielded to Blair, who according to previous notice, then addressed the Senate on his proposed constitutional amende ment, prohibiting the manufacture or sale of alcoholic liquors as a bevs erase. ; " At the conclusion of Blair's speech the interstate commerce bill was taken up, and Van Wyck addressed tne Senate on it. Throngh rates from the West, Van -Wyck said, now nearly amounted to confiscation. Another rise would be prohibition. Last. year he had said that the people in some sections of Nebraska were compelled to burn corn for fuel, and that it required 150 bushels ot corn to purchase one ton of hard coal. This condition did not apply to tte entn e State: yet last winter in more than half her territory, the people were again compelled to burn corn for fuel, because of the ex cessive rate of transport ation Toe basis of the charges was "all that traffic will bear."

This was taking nrooertv without compensation, It was confiscation. Pract pally , this bill denied to the various railroad companies the rights of competition It precluded the shippers from reap ing their rightful advantage of com petition and caused to them and the railroad companies absolute loss.

In response to a question, Dunn stated that the measures which would probably be called up would be the bill requiring the Northern Pacific to pay the cost of surveying -its lands, the resolution proyiding for a general envestigation of the accounts of the Pacific raiiroada,and thebill providing for the pay men of the debts of those roads. , Warner, of Ohio, inquired whether the order would include the Pacific Railroad funding bill, and upon re ceiving an affirmative answer, ob jected to the pi eent considering of the resolution. ; Dunn explained that the bill pro vided for the payment of $41,000,000 of the debt before it came due, under the existing law. It did not postpone ; it anticipated the. debt He asked that the resolution be referred, but Cowles, of North' Carolina, objected and the resoryt on was not received Utider the ca'l of States, bills were introduced and re 1 erred as follows: ' By Springer, of Illinois. f.r. the admission of the whole of Pakota in to the union of States; also to es. tabiuh a department of labor and to create a board . for w arbitration : of controversies between labor and capi tal.

Beck with, D. D. : My Dear Bishop In the ; Constitu tion of this morning I find an article in which there are professedly direct quotations from part of the testis nony that was presented in my case. Inasmuch as the court, before which A was tried, made you the only offi cial custodian of that testimony, and inasmuch as it is to be presumed that said quotations - are correct, and from the official record, I Sm forced to conclude that you hav been sub mitting that record to the inspection of private individuals, even after having declined to furnish me with a certified copy of it. Whether or not this action on your part be in accor dance with : the spirit and letter of the resolutions of the court nnComnn. nyifag -their finding, and then were transmitted to yuu, I leave you to determine, i s ,. - - Surely, however; my dear bishoD. your attention need only be called to the matter to convince you that such an action is. unj'ust to me. It at least, furnishes the opportunity to any - one who might be disposed to use it, ito garble ;the r testimony" for the most unworthy purpose - And tn Kpublish such parts of it as would wholly mislead public judgment and do me a great wrong. ; f f Suoh an ao tion isas unjust to me as it would have been for; you to . have ; twrried out the determination that you ex pressed in your letter to me of Feb ruary 8th, to wit, "to- publish tbe presentiment and specification of charges made by the standing corns mittee and the finding and judgment of the court," without publishing at the same time the entire record.. Xet garbled statements be ' admitted as proof, and it would require but little ingenuity to prove "even from the Holy i Scriptures that "there is no God,' or 4No resurrection, neither angel nor spirit." therefore earnestly request, once more, that you will furnish me with a certified copy of the entire record of my case, from its canonical incep tion to its canonical termination. In urging this request I should - have been even more importunate than I have gbeen, t had I entertained the slightest suspicion that a continuance of such use of the testimony would, or could possible have. been' permitted as evidently has-been. ' And while 1 duly appreciate your kindness, as ex pressed in your note of the-5th, in reply to mine of the 3d, to which you were represented in the press as say ing that you would not - reply in writing, that you "declined to permit me to bear the burden of the ex pense" of the transcription, I must again urge that the papers for which I ask are much more valuable to me than tbe money that I shall be ready to pay in order to secure them. Eyenour kindnessin this, there fore, I cannot accept as a valid rea son for your declining my request. May I not hope, then, my dear bis hop, that this request will be granted by you at the earliest possible " mo mentf . " . j - I am sure you will not regard me as guilty of any impropriety when I here appropriate your own language to me in yours oi ; D eoruary - utn, to which I have already referred. -' beg to state that I will not consider either this letter or your-reply as connaenuai."
