In order to keep the home neat and pretty , the children well dressed and tidy , women overdo. A female weakness or displacement is often brought on and they sailor in silence , drifting along from had to worse , knowing well that they ought to have help to overcome the pains and aches whifh daily make life a hurden. It is to these faithful women that comes as a hoon and a hlessing , as it did to Mrs. F. Ellsworth , of Mayville , N. Y. , and to Mrs. W. P.

Every tab let ctainpid "CCC7'T 7K The Senate calendar was cleared oi nearly every bill upon it Thursday , ant the bill to revise the criminal laws of tlu United States was taken up and discuss ed until adjournimnt. . A complete change of front was exhibited by the majority ir the House of licprosentatives in the con sideration of the bill to codify and rei.s < the penal laws of the I'nited States. The pacific spirit displayed by the committee on revision of laws , toward the close 01 \Ycdnesday's session , when it appeared as though the several amendments strength cning certain provisions of the bill regard ing corruption to the appointment of p"r sons to public * offices would be adopted vanished , and instead every inch oi ground was fought over to keep airvnd nients out oE the bill. When adjouin mont was taken ouly six additional pagei had been disposed of and but one or iwc verbal amendments by the committee hnc been inserted. The Senate was not in session Friday , After passing a large number of pension bills the Elouse at 1:2 , > p. in. adjournec until Monday. The penal code bill was not takeu up. * The bill revising the crrmlnal las ol the United States was taken up as un finished business in the Senate Monday , and its discussion occupied the greater part of the session. A letter was receiv ed from Secretary Cortelyou explaining his delay iu giving the financial figures which had been asked for. Unrestrained opportunity to express views ou the im migration question was afforded members of the House by the decision , soon after convening , to take up and consider a bill appropriating $2nO,000 for an immigra tion station iu Philadelphia , and so many took advantage of it that the code of laws bill , , which the managers of the House had planned to take up , was also side tracked for the day. The entire sessior was devoted to a consideration of the bill , which was passed. The Senate Tuesday discussed tht pro priety of authorizing one of its cotn-mit- tees to investigate the circumstances con nected with the issuance of an injunction in the case of the Ilirclmian Coal and Coke Company versus John Mitchell , by Judge Alston G. Daytou of the United States Circuit Court of the northern dis trict of West Virginia. Senator Culber- son asked to have a resolution for that purpose adopted , and Senator Halo thought it should not harass judges in their decisions , and he did not favor such a resolution unless there va * con siderable ground for believing that a judge had exceeded his authority. Con siderable time was spent iu considering the bill to revise the criminal code. At the close of a day of excitement in the House of Representatives an amendment was added to the penal code bill making it a criminal offence for any officer or employe of the government to give out ad vance information regarding any crop sta tistics authorized by hrw to be prepared. The original amendment was by Mr. Uurleson of Texas , who made a strong plea for its passage , but a substitute by Mr. Sherley of Kentucky , with a brief addition by Mr. Olm ted of Pennsylvania , was accepted. Earlier in the day interest attached to a tilt between Mr. Dabicl of Pennsylvania and Mr. Itandell of Texas over the latter's amendments prohibiting Senators or members from being employ ed by public service corporations. The climax of the debate came when Mr. Clark of Missouri announced , amid thun derous Democratic applause , that William .1. lirjau would be nominated at the Den ver convention , while Mr. Boutcll of Illinois aroused the members on his side to a hi h pitch of enthusiasm by stating that Speaker Cannon would be the Re publican nominee. The Senate spout over an hour Wed nesday in disi-ussiug a resolution offered b.\ Senator HaiiMirough of North Dakota directing the Department of Commerce and Labor to suspend its investigation into the atfairs of the International Ilar- v ster Company , which was" ordered by a resolution over a vVar airo. During ui * discussion Senator Ilausbrough declared that the "harvester trust" is attempting to control the selection of delegates to the-next Republican national convention and is especially plotting to defeat him for re-election to the Senate. The resolu tion finally was referred to a committee. The criminal < -odo bill was again consid ered for over two hours. Rapid progress was made in She House of Representa tives in the consideration of the bill to codify and revise the penal laws of the United States. The ouly amendment of any importance which got through was one by Pllie .Tam"s OL Kentucky , making it a criminal offense , under heavy penalty , to falsify government , crop statistics , the objecr of the : jneudinent being to protect the cotton and tobacco growers from speculators. Over fifty pages of the bill tvere disposed of. Except for a political ? peech by Mr. Kimball of Kentucky , the proceedings were monotonous and -it no Lime were a hundred members in their eats.

The publication of this answer , it is , officially gueii out.us delated several weeks "for bi.sine-s reasons. ' ' because itt was not deemed nd\i-abie to further excite the public mud , which was profoundly disturbed by the crisis. Xow that the storm clouds have rolled by. however , the Commissioner rushes again into the fray. Our readers remember that the chief points in the defence of the Standard Oil Company , as presented by President MoiYctt.cre , ( t ) that the rate of six cents on oil from Whiting to Hast St. Louis haben is-tied to the Standard Oil Company , as the lawful rate by employes of the Alton , ( J ) that the iS-cer.t rate on tile- with the Inter-talc Commerce Commission was a class and not a comrnod'ty rate , never being" in tended to applv to ol. : (3) ( ) that oil was shipped in large quantities between Whiting and l-.ast St. Louis over the Chicago and Ka- > urn Illinois at six and one-fourth cents per hundred pounds , which has been filed with the Interstate Com merce Commission as the lav. fill rate , and (4) that the its-cent rate on oil was entirely out of proportion to lawful rates on other commodities between thc.-e points of aimilar character , and of greater value , such , for example , as linseed oil. the lawful rate on which was eight cents. President MofFctt uKo stated that thousands of tons of 11 eight had been sent by other shippers between thc.se poiius under substantially the same conditions as go\crncd the shipments of the Standard Oil Cuinpam. This defence of the Standard Oil Company was widely quoted and has undoubtedly exerted a powerful inllncncc upon the public mind. Nat urally the Administration , which has staked the success of its campaign against the "trusts" up on the result of its attu k upon this company , endeavors to offset this influence , and hence the new dclierance of Commissioner Smith. We need hardly to point out that his rebuttal argument is extreme ! } weak , although" strong , no doubt , as the circumstance- , would warrant. "He answers the points made by President Mof- clt .substantially as follow ! * : ( j ) The Standard Oil Compain had a traffic "department , and should have known that the six-cent rate had not been filed. (2) ( ) no answer. (3) ( ) the Chicago and Eastern Illinois rate was a secret rate be cause it read , not from Whiting , but from Dol- ton. which is described as "a village of abo'.it 1.500 population jast ont.-idc of Chicago. Its only claim to note is that it has been for many years the point of origin for this and similar secret rates. " The Comriis-ioiier admits in de scribing this rate that there was a note attached stating that the rate could also be used from Whiting. 'i he press has quite generally hailed this statement of the Commissioner of Corporations as a conclusive refutation of what is evidently recognized as the strongest rebuttal argument advanced by the Standard. In fact , it is as' weak and inconclusive as the remainder of his argument. The lines of the Chicgo and Eastern Illinois do not run into TWO SISTERS HAD ECZEMA.

They terminate at Dolton , from which point entrance is made over the Belt Line. Whit ing , where the oil freight originates , is not on the lines of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois , \vhich receives its Whiting freight from the Belt Line at Dolton.The former practice , now dis continued , in filing tariffs v/as to make them read from a point on the line of the filing road , and it was also general to state on the same sheet , that the tariff would apply to other points , e. g. , Whiting. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois followed this practice in filing its rate from Del ton , and making a note on the sh/et that is .ip- plied to Whiting. This was in 1895 when this mctli6d of filing tariffs was in common use. Now let us see inhat way the intending Chipper of oil could be misled and deceived by the fact that the Chicago and Eastern Illinois had not tiled a rate reading from Whiting. Commissioner Smith contends that "concealment is the only motive for such a circuitous arrange ment , " i. e. , that this method of filing the rate was intended to mislead intending competitors of the Standard Oil Conipairy. Suppose such a prospective oil re-liner had applied to the Inter state Commerce Commission for the rate from Chicago to K s . St. Louis over the Chicago and Eastern JiH. : - , he would have been informed that the onl\ rate filed with the commission by this company was 6r4 cents from Dolton , and he would have been further informed , if indeed he did not know this already , that this rate ap plied throughout Chicago territory. So that whether he wished to locate his plant at Whit ing , or anywhere else about Chicago , under an arrangement of long standing , and which applies to all the industrial towns in the neighborhood of Chicago , he could have his freight delivered over the Belt Line to the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at Dolton and transported to East St. Louis at a rate of 6J4 cents. vVhere then is the concealment which the Commissioner of Corpo rations makes so much of ? Any rate from Dolton on the Eastern Illinois or Chappell on the Alton , or Harvey on the Illinois Central , or Blue Island on the Rock Islandapplies through out Chicago territory to shipments from Whit ing , as to shipments from any other point in the district. So far from the Eastern Illinois filing its rate from Dolton in order to deceive the shipper , it is the Commissioner of Corporations who either betrays his gross ignorance of trans portation customs in Chicago territory or relies on the public ignorance of these customs to deceive the public too apt to accept nnquestion- ingly every statement made by a Government official as necessarily true , although , as in the present instance , a careful examination shows these statements to be false. The final point made by President Moffctt that other commodities of a character similar to oil were carried at much lower rates than 18 cents , the Commissioner of Corporations discusses only with the remark that "the 'reasonableness' of this rate is not in question. The question is whether this rate constituted a discrimination as against other shippers of oil , " and he also makes much of the failure of President Moffett to produce before the grand jury evidence of the alleged illegal acts of which the Standard Oil official said that other large shippers in the ter- Out of an average annual loss to t ta "world's shipping of L',172 vessels. 04 ar completely missing and never h < * ard oi again.

Considering the fact that these shippers included the packers and ele vator men of Chicago the action of the grand jury in calling upon President MofFett to fur nish evidence of their wrong-doing may be in terpreted as a demand fpr an elaboration of the obvious ; but the fact that a rate-book contain ing these freight rates for other shippers v.'as offered in evidence during the trial and ruled out by Judge Landis. was kept out of sight. President MolTett would not , of course , accept the imitation of the grand jury although he. might have been pardoned if he had referred them to various official investigations by the Interstate Commerce Commission and other de partments of the Government. We come back , therefore , to the conclusion of. the whole matter , which is that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana was lined an amount equal to sex en or eight times the value of its entire property , because its traffic department did not verify the statement of the Alton rate clerk , that the six-cent commodity rate on oil had been properly filed with the Interstate Com merce Commission. There is no evidence , and none was introduced at the trial , that any ship ment of oil from Chicago territory had been in terfered with by the eighteen-cent rate nor that the failure of the Alton to file its six-cent rate had resulted in any discrimination against any independent shipper , we must take this on the. word of the Commissioner of Corporations and of Judge Landis. Xcither is it denied even by Mr. Smith that the "independent" shipper of oil , whom he pictures as being dm en out of business by this discrimination of the Alton , could have shipped all the oil he desired to ship from Wait ing via Dolton over the lines of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois to Mt.st St. Louis. In short , President Moffett's defence is still good , and we predict will be bo declared by the higher court. The Standard Oil Company has been charged with all manner of crimes and misdemeanors. Beginning with the fan.oiis Rice of Marietta , passing down to that apostle of popular liber- tics , Henry Dcmarcst Llo\J. v.ith nib Wealth Against the Commonwealth , descending by easy stages to Miss Tarbell's offensive personalities , we finally reach the nether depths of unfair and baseless misrepresentation in the report of the Commissioner of Corpornlions.- The Stamford has been charged with every form of commer cial piracy and with most of the crimes on the corporation calendar. After long years of stren uous attack , tinder the leader-hip of the Presi dent of the United States , the corporation is nt last dragged to the bar of justice to answer for its misdoings. The whole strength of the Gov ernment is directed against it. and at last , we are told , the Standard Oil Company is to pay the penalty of its crimes , and it is finally con- Aicted of having failed to verify the statement of a rate clerk and is forthwith fined a prodig ious sum. measured by the car. Under the old criminal law , the theft of property worth more than a shilling was punishable by death. Under the interpretation of the Interstate Commerce law by Theodore Roosevelt and Judge Kcnesaw Landis , a technical error of a traffic official is made the excuse for the confiscation of a vast amount of property. iPStfii $ & & $ ® fii &la IWV-'A V ' - 'iEWi w afSS T 'tt fff ? a&JBM&i a&fc } o W E 2 ?
