lJMUlllJJllLIlUIJJllM,.m.JU THE OIN AMOS K. .TONKS - - KDITOK. City and County Official Paper. Saturday, Sept. 17ih., J 887, j man i'ii:i,irs diccisiox. Says (lie Chicago Inter-Ocean : 'There may be sonic honest, nnd se vere deiiunriationa of .Jtidfre Field's decision in the. matter of Senator Stan ford and (lie I'aeille Kaihvny Coininis- i sion. hnl those, who think will per ceive at. once, nnd (hose who think lazily and honestly will perceive on i second or third cogitation, that the nation again ha reason to congratu late it self on tho existence of a Su preme (,'oiirt . Kor what the decision of Mr. Justice Field .cttlcs- i no more, or lest, than this, that the I'liilcd States jtcivorn mcnl, or n co-ordinnlo branch thereof , shall not he to any vitizeu of tho rnitcd-Stntes what an inquisitor of Spain once was to Spaniards filial the force of congress shall be checked by the force of the common law; tint no man h ill be compolled to furnish proof for the prosecution of u crime or misdemeanor whereof he is suspected. There is a prejudice against the I'aeille lhiihvay just now, whether well or ill founded it mutters not, and therefore it has been asserted that SeuatorStan ford and others should lie "compell ed " to answer any and all questions propounded by the congressional com mittee. To this the supreme court replies, l S rout is a rongrcss-i'innl com niitlee, but greater is the law of the I'nited States. My the very term of its creation the committee is lusi I Iiuii the law, for it is instructed to call upon 'any of the circuit, or district courts of the United Slates" to punish for contempt any and all persons who may refuse to bring books and papers for its inspec tion or to answer any questions pro pounded by it. In ( it is plain that the courts cannot do for tho commis sion that which they could not do tor themselves, and eourts canuot compel persons to lay a foundation for their own prosecution , either by the dis closure of books or papers or by nn wers to questions. That is the old, barbarous, cruel and obsolete method; U is the inquisitorial , as opposed by tho judicial, way of procedure; it sur vives in no English speaking country , and only in iho Austrian provinces of of (!erma:iic speech. In some sort the duties of the com mission are akin to (hose of the grand jury, it is a body of iuqtiirv as to the alleged or possible infractions of the law. Now, no prosecuting attorney Would be foolish enough to insist that a suspected person should be compell ed to supply a grand jurv with materi al for his own imlicimcul. And this is exactly what the committed has as sumed that i. is empowered to do. The doctrine is monstrous. SHOUT IIAVL HAT ICS. Tho answer of tho receiver of tho O.

To these statements our com mission nial.os no reply; and likewise il ignores the fact that tho roads with which oomparison is mado make, gross caruins three to four times as laro tis those of (his Oregon road; and moreover it' passeuyor rucolpl; wuto elliniiiatud f'-otn ross receipts in each ciiso tho disparity would ho still great er.

It Is In nvory way dofcirahlo that our producer should ho ahlo to jcl tho lowest possible rates for trniikporln tion of their products. Wo conrot, however, lo. sonic surprise ai tliticom paratlvu statements mado hy the re culver of the (). & l, hiuco wo had supposed that the rates 011 this road were far higher than on those of utlicr sttitcs with which he make-i a compar ison. Tho cm'cus is much loos than wo had stippotod, and (ho genora! line of 1I10 recolvors slatomunt is well wnilhy nt fair consideration. It Is shown by the conuuUsiou that rates charged on thi road are le !., t wren ci tniii points whuru competi tion prevails than hetwoen Tni.nit and Alhany, even thoiiyh thndUlauce Is creator. ThU hringti up the ipies tloti wluitlierii niilrond which is ob Hjfcd hv competition t- nil Its u,, - at rri lain points h mid he for d ti nt its rates at nil points to this level, or nearly fo it, or bo open to tho charge of maintaining nt certain points un reason 1c rates. On tho one side, it is claimed (hut a railroad euinpnny is entitled to collect rales which will give a fair return on its capital; on the oilier it is asscrtod (hat this prin ciple can be accepted only when the I tru'ltc is of such volume as when eon j ducted on reasonable rates will pro vince that result. The real question ilics between these statements. On J the one hand the inquiry ns to what is a reasonable rate cannot fairly be sep eratcd from (ho imieirv as to the cost of the service, and this cost must .al ways include a reasonable return on tho capital invested; on the other it cannot justly be claimed by a railroad that when it is forced by competition to reduce its charges at certain points below pajiug rates it tuny indeavor to make up this loss' by increasing its charge at points where there is no coiitpetiton. Tho answer of the rcciver is neces sary to an adequate understanding of the reply of the commission heretofore published. Controversies of this kind musl gravitate for settlement to tho basis of what is just and reasonable; and to right comprehension of this prooiem run liuorinnuon as to an n conditions i nuspensab lc. urr'ju iaii. TheO.
