Synopsis of the Inter-State Commerce
Bill.
rtn t . a. rfi
me imer-oiaie commerce Din, as
agreed upon by both honses of Congress
in its first section applies the provisions
of that act to any common carrier en
gaged in the transportation of passengers
wholly by railroad, or partly by railroad
and partly by water when both are used,
under common control, manaagement, or
arrangement through more than one State
or Territory, or from and place in the
United States to adjacent foreign country.
It defines the term "railroad" to include
all bridges and ferries used or operated by
any railroad. All charges made for. any
service rendered in the transportation of
passengers or property, shall be reason
able and just; and every unjust and un
reasonaoie cnarge ror sucn service is pro
hibited and declared to be unlawful.
Sec. 2. makes it unlawful for any com
mon carrier subject to the provision of
this act, to charge, demand, collect or
Teceive, directly or indirectly, from any
person or persons, a greater or less' com
pensation for" any service rendered in the
transportation of passengers or pro
perty than it charges, demands, collects or
receives from any other person or persons
fordoing for him or them a like and
contemporaneous service in the transpor
tation of a like kind or traffic under sub
stantially similar circumstances and conditions.
Sec. 3. makes it unlawful for any com
mon carrier, subject to provisions of this
act, to make or give any undue or un
reasonable preference or advantage to any
particular person, company, firm, corpora
tion, or locality, or any particular de
scription or traffic. Every common car
rier, subject to the provisions of this act,
shall according to their respective powers,
afford all reasonable. nroDer 'and eoual
facilities for the interchange of traffic
between their respective lines, and for the
receiving, forwarding, and delivering of
passengers and property to and from their
several lines and those connected there
with, and shall not discriminate in their
rates and charges between such connect
ing lines.
Sections 4 and 5 (the long and short
haul and pooling sections,) areas follows:
Sec. 4. That it shall be unlawful for
any common carrier, subject to the pro
vision of this act, to charge or receive any j
greater compensation in the aggregate
for the transportation of passengers or of
like kind of property, under substantial j
similar circumstances and conditions, for
a shorter than for a longer distance, over
the same line, in the same direction, the
shorter being included within the longer
distance ; but this shall not be construed
as authorizing any common carrier, with
in the terms of this act, to charge and re
ceive as great compensation for a shorter
and for a longer distance .
Provided, however, that upon applica
tion to the commission appointed under
the provisions; of this act, such common
carrier may, in special cases, after investi
gation by the commission, be authorized
to charge less for longer than for shorter
distances for the transportation of pass
engers or property aud the commisson
may from time prescribe the extent
to which such designated common carriers
may be relieved from the operation of
this section of this act.
Sec. 5. That it shall be unlawful for
any common carriers, subject to the pro
visions of this act, to enter iuto any con?
tract, agreement or combination whieh
"any other common carrier or carriers for
the pooling of freights of different and
competing railroads or to divide between
them the aggregate or net proceeds of the
earnings of such railroads, or any portion
thereof, and in any case of an agreement
for the pooling of freights as aforesaid
each day of its continuents shall be
deemed a separate offense.
Sec. 6. requires that after ninety days
from tho passage of the act every com
mon carrier, subject to its provisions shall
have printed, and keep for public inspec
ion, schedules showing rates, fare and
charges, and in addition to requiring the
railroads to give publicity at all of the
depots on their several lines, it gives au
thority to the commission, where it is
proper and necessary, to require them to
give publicity to their rates to other
places beyond the lines of their several
railroads. It also provides that the rates,
fares, and charges shall not be raised ex
cept after ten, days of public notic, but
thattbey may be reduced without pre
vious public notice, the notice, however,
shall be simultaneous with the reduction
itself.
Section 7. makes it unlawful for any
common carrier to enter into any combin
ation or agreement to prevent the carriage
of freights from being continued from the
place of of shipment to the place of des
tination. Section 8. declares that any common
carrier violating the provisions of the act
shall be liable to the person or persons
injured thereby, for the full amount of
damages sustained, in consequence of any
such violation, together with a reasonable
counsel or attorneys fee.
The ninth section provides that persons
claiming to have been damaged by the
action of common carriers may proceed
for recovery of their damages, either in
the Untted States courts or before the
commission herein provided for; biit not
before both tribunals. '
The tenth section makes it apenal of
fense to violate any of the provW-Cns of
this act and puts the maximum of the fine
which may be imposed at the sum of
$5,000.
The eleven following sections contain
the commission features of the bill. They
provide for a commission to coasist of
five persons whose term of office shall be
for six years, except for the first appoint
ments, which are to be for two, three
four, five and six years. The members of
this commission are to be appointed by

consent or tne senate, rneir principal
office shall be in "Washington, but they

power to appoint a secretary, with an
annual salary of $ 3,500, and has authority
to employ and fix the compensation of
such other employes as it may find neces
sary to the proper performance of the
duties, subject to the approval of the
Secretary of the Interior.
aeetion aa. provides mat notuins: con
tained in this act shall abridce tho reme
dies now existing by common law or by
statute.
Section 23. appropriates 100,000 for,
the purposes of this act, for the fiscal year

Paddock's Career.
Algernon Sidney Paddock, who has
been a conspicious figure in Nebraska
politics for the last twenty-five years, is a
native of New York. He came to Ne
braska in in 1857 and preempted a farm
at Fort Calhoun. Though educated for
the law, he did not practice after coming
to this territory, but directed his energies
to the developement of that part of the
state in which he had cast his lot. He
was one of the organizers of the republi
can party in this territory in 1857 and in
1858, and for several years latter was an
editorial writer for tho Omaha Republi
can. Ha was a delegate to each ef the
national convention that nominated Lin
coln. In 1881 he was appointed secretary
of the territorv and for some time was
acting governor. He took an active part
in organizing the First Nebraska regi
ment. He bonded the territorial debt and
raised the value of the bonds from
thirty cents to par. When the state was
organized he declined the nomination for
governor, which was then given to Butler.
3Ir. Paddock was a candidate for United
States senator, but was defeated by
Thayer, and subsequently nominated for
congress, but defeated by Taffe. Presi
dent Johnson nominated him for govern
or of Wyoming, but he declined this
honor. Twelve years ago he was elected
United States Senator, and served with
with marked ability. He was a candidate
for re-election six years ago, but was
defeated by Van Wyck. Soon after
President Arthur appointed him a mem
ber of the Utah commission, of which he
was once of the most fearless and influ
ential members, and was tendered the
chairmanship when Ramsay vacated it.
He resigned his place in the commission
to enter this canvass for the senate. For
several years past he has been managing
his investments so judiciously as to ac
cumulate handsome property for an
average Nebraska Senator and has erect
ed ono of the finest blocks in Omaha,
besides securing valuable lands in various
quarters. Throughout hi long political
career he has been a stalwart republican,
somewhat conservative, but always loyal
to his party.
In 1885 when we saw at a Wyoming fair
a lordly savage strutting along, followed
bv a diminutive squaw with a fortv-
pound pappoose on her back, we hated
him ; and when we saw him stop at a fruit
stand, buy a single apple and walk off
eating it, never so much a3 offering the"
poor little squaw a bite, we would have
given a year's subjeription to this paper
for the privilege of killing him with a
common-place club. And then, when a
little later, we came across a poor little
farmer's wife, tired to death, with a
couple of cross children on her hands;
looking the embodiment of hard luck;
and still a little later, when Te saw her
liege lord enjoving the races and paroniz-
ing the bar, we wondered if, after all, the
untutored savage is so very much worse
than the proud Caucasian. It does seem
hard for some men to realize that a fam
ily is a joint stock concern, and that while
enjoying the assets they are also respons
ible for the liabilities Curtis Record.

SamSix-Killer.
Cottonwood, Tan. 28, 1867.
Editor Tribuxe:
Your paper of two weeks
ago contained an account of the murder
of Capt. Sam Six Shooter in the Indian
Territory. I was quite well acquainted,
with the gentleman. His name was not
Six Shooter, but Six Killer. He was a
very quiet, inoffensive man, about 5 feet,
11 inches, weighed 200 pounds and well
proportioned, being I think the strongest
man in that country. I once saw him lift
a bale of cotton weighing 440 pounds
into a wagon and be seemed to do
it with ea3e. He was chief of police of
the Cherokee Nation and was uot inclined
to be quarrelsome; was quite intelligent
and had a good education. He knew no
fear, yet never pushed himself into need
less danger. He was one.fourth white
and did not possess features or build of an
Indian. His death is no doubt greatly
regretted by the whites as well as his own
tribe. JIany white men could be better
spared than Sam Six Killer.
B. F.Baker.
TheJ saloon-license law in Missouri.
amended last winter, has resulted in a
gratifying increase of revenue. The St.
Louis Republican states that the increase
of the tax from a minimum of $550 to a
maximum of 1,200 has swelled the
revenuejrom 147,000, to $1,812,000 in
that city, wnile in the same four years
during which this threefold increase has '
taken place the number of saloons has
been reduced 621, or one-fifth. So grati
fying have the resultsjbeen, indeed, that
the papers are urging upon the legislature
the recommendation in the governor's
message that the sale of spirits be limited,
to the licensed saloonkeeners. This
would shut out the grocers, who now
sell liquor by the gallon, without a li
cense, and who sell a large proportion, of
whole quanity consumed. The Republi
can urges that it is advisable to limit the
sale of spirits and beer to the regularly
icensed saloon-keepers and to increase
the minimum to $700.

the actress, is in New York. '-I have just
come from Colorado," said he to an ac
quaintance who asked him the stero
typed question. "I have been there all

England. I see by the naDers that Miss
Anderson has leased the Lyceum Thea

it some time ago, and I had hoped she
