The late decision of Judge Shaltuck

that tho Supreme Honch of Oregon
will fully sustain tho decision ol Judge

sovereignty of tho State as maintained
by the courts In tho fullest oiixp.

sustained that rates of fares and freights

and, carrying out tho .same principle,
that all public enterprises that subsist
on tho patronage of the pooplo are
amenable to regulations of law, wo do
not f-oo why all sorts of transportation

Ivn powers, that In our country will be
sure to temper the oxcivico of almost
unlimited power by tho people. It Is a
Hatisfaction to know that wo pos-e. a
rcstrniulnguud governing power beforo
which monopoly and Imposition miM
hesitate. It IsaNo true that while the
people may have tho power to Impose
terms they cannot compel theirokserv
uuco, as tho corporation or person In
terested can decline to run railroads,
Ntnge.i or steamboats, or to operate ware
houo elevators or mills, when the
ten iw imposed are below what Is rea
sonable. It has been well mild that
" a boy can lead a hoivo to water, but
forty men cannot maku him drink."
So with a railroad, when rates are un
reasonably reduced It can cea.e opera
tions. Thero Is a mutuality pervading nil
the operations of life. No one class
can claim to be Independent of the oth
ers. Capital Is more Useless without
labor, than labor without capital. This
mutual dependence liuint regulate our
relations mi as to protect both labor and
capital. We have seen monopoly rule
"with iron hand, and while that Is dan
Keren, there Is al-o dinger, when pop.
ulur sovereignty I-. fully established, ;
that It can bo carried to extremes. It
is now beyond controversy that tho
State has almost unlimited power to
regulate all the commercial relations of
the people, u ppwur it will bo danger

caution, while, In fact, the very knowl
