Being tax en before a United States eommisaioner, fce bound ; tbem over to appear before the grand jury, not for assault and battery on the person of Molter, but for "assaulting an employe of the Southern Pacific Kail- . mad Compan." Has it really come to thie that tbe eitiaen has become so small that bis being beaten is so trifling aa 1 offense, that the outrage to hi person is lost, merged ia tbe more serious offense : of having beaten aa employe of a rail-j road company? Have the eonrts gotten so tender of corporation that the rights 1 of the citizen as such, are of ies impor tance than the right of the corporation j that eta ploy Lias bare ia him? The. offense ia no loog-r against the cittien of , the government but against the em-1 ploves of a corporation. These be queer : time and there i woin t be ,me troublous one before they change for! the better. - I j aiiipmeui iruit w on toe most ixportact qoestioc before or fnct growers, and tbe perjertirtg of some . plan by whatfe tLe least cosBmiawiona i ill hae to be paid, and the lt mar kets reached is jj ti.e utnu-f in. port anew, last vear tbe very unfortunate ship ment made through the Karl Fruit Ca.. oa the suggestion of S.

If the boycott is unlawful for leb and his followers, why is it not also unlawful for the Southern Tactic railroad If Debs ! is to t punched f r interrupting inter-; state commerce, why is not Mr. Crjcser of the Southern ratlde als3 In-; dieted! The Jloterstiite commerce law wasecacwd to protect the pei pie against ' exorbitant charges, but in that direction it is and always has been an utter fail ure. The railroad companies pay no attention to the law en'y when they can invoke it to get some benefit from it. The United States courts pay no atten- : "ion to it, and do not undertake to eu- ; force it unless their masters, the railroad ; Pes demand it In their own , interests. e nave read tn some ot the leading dallies, editorials deprecat- i ing the action of the country prese ia making tne assertion that there is one law for the corporations and j l. f.r th. mrnntinni .nH I be made, because :t is true.

The rrar.k should not enter complaint until the offense is cor,mitf. The fact that tae I'niuu and Central Pacific railroads owe larze stilus to the government, may eventually result in the government taxing charge of and ; operating the line. Of course the plan ! is rather contrary to the American idea ' of government, but at tha same time ' the matter is being ig'tated in rorg-ss, as the nly solution poesitle nnder the circumstances.
