TIm Body Caaaot Fix Frelnht or Fas UBerr Cbar;es Wit boat Farther Am tbority from CoBre What the ComnUiloa Says About It. The Supreme Court of the United States decided in May last. In what is known as the Freight Bureau cases, "that under the Interstate commerce act the commission has no power to prescribe the tariff of rates which shall control in the future," and "that Con gress has not Conferred upon the com mission the legislative power of pre scribing rates either maximum or min imum or absolute." This decision was rendered in cases where the commission had held the rates complained of to be unreasonable and unjust in violation of the inter state commerce law, bad found what rates would be reasonable and Just, and had ordered the carriers to cease and desist from charging more than the reasonable rates so determined. Thai the commission was authorized to require carriers not to make higher charges than those shown and found to be reasonable in cases investigated by it had been generally believed, and the commission had in that way en forced the provision in the law for "reasonable and just rates" since its organisation. v The commission has recently, In an opinion by Chairman Morrison, ren dered a decision in a case against the Eureka Springs Ity. Co., involving the reasonableness of rates complained of. In the concluding portion of this deci sion the ruling of the Supreme Court in the Freight Bureau Cases is dis cussed, and mention is there made also of a prior Supreme Court decision in the "Social Circle Case," which re ferred in an ambiguous way to the power of the commission in respect to future rates. The commission says: "While thus deciding that under the Interstate Commerce Act, power to prescribe rates which shall control in the future has In no case been given to the commission, it is conceded that the act has given the commission power 'to determine what in reference to the past was reasonable and just, whether as maximum or minimum or absolute, rates. How this power to say what was reasonable and just in the past will benelit the public, correct any abuse, be of any advantage or afford any relief to shippers who are made to pay whatever unreasonable rates and chaiges the carriers may in the future establish or continue to exact, is a matter about which the court gives no information." In the "Social Circle case" the court safd: "The reasonable ness of the rate in a given case de pends ou the facts, and the function of the commission is to consider the facts and give them their proper weight. What is their proper weight which can be given them as to the past? For what purpose is the com--mission to consider them? How can the fact that the rates were unreason able and unjust in the past be given or liave any weight while like unreasonable and unjust rates are, and may continue to be, exacted in the future? In this ease the court adopted the view of the late Justice Jackson that 'subject to the two leading prohibitions that their charges shall not be unjust or unrea sonable, and that they shali not un justly discriminate so as to give undue preference or advantage or subject to undue prejudice or disadvantage per sons or traffic similarly circumstanced, the Act to Regulate Commerce leaves common carriers as they were at com mon law.' " "We are here advised that the act to regulate commeice subjected common carrleis lo two leading prohibitions to which they wc-ie not subject at com mon law, one of which is that their charges shall not lie unjust or unrea sonable. Lntil the court decided to the contrai y in the Freight Bureau cases it was believed that thi3 prohi bition meant that the charges of com mon can iers shall not be unreasonable and unjust in the future or after the time the act was passed. In these lat ter c-tes the court says: 'The fact that the carrier is given the power to es tablish rates in the first instance, and the right to change, and the conditions of such change specified, is irresistible evidence that this action on the part of tlie carrier is net subordinate to and dependent upon the judgment of the commission.' But it is nowhere decided or claimed that under the in terstate commerce or other act the right of the carrier to establish and to change its rates is subordinate to or dependent upon the judgment cr ac tion of any other tribunal; and freed from the judgment and made inde pendent of the commission, interstate carriers are-not subject to any provi sion of lav: requiring their rates and charges to be just or reasonable." "The first section of the act to regu late commerce provides that all charges made for any transportation service 'shall be reasonable and just; and every unjust and unreasonable charge for such service is prohibited and declared to be unlawful.' Under the decision of the Supreme Court no charge for such service is prohibited. Reasonable and just rates are contem plated, not required." "Under the law so canstrued, the commission has power to say what in respect to the past was unreasonable and unjust; Lut as to rates complained of as unreasonable, unjust and unlawful, and so found to te in the case under consideration: the commission can make no provision or order for their reduction which the courts are required to enforce or the carriers are obliged to obej. Having, in the l:?ht of these decisions, given the facts due consideration, we ascer tained, found and reported the rates which would be reasonable from and to St. Louis. Springfield and Seligman. Mo., to and from Eureka Springs, Ark.. and hav icommended that the car riers reduce and conform their charges to the facts so found and reported. This lecommendation may impress the car riers only as may seem to accord with their own interests, since in the present state of the law, as declared by the court, common carriers have the power to establish, change and exact rates independent of the judgment of the commission." "The court concedes to the commis sion power under the interstate com merce act 'to determine what, in refer ence to the past, was reasonable and just." In the case under consideration, the commission has determined that t.'Je rates complained of and which are now charged by the defendants, were in the past and are now unjust, un reasonable and in violation of the statute, me duty of notifying and requiring the defendants to cease and desist fran: such violations is enjQJned tfjon me. ceninMision py the act. It is evident from this official ita dent, by the commieaioa. that nippers and travellers -ftrS deprived under the ruling fct the Supreme Court of their suppoEGd right to compel through the commission the adoption by railroad carriers of ascertained reasonable charges, and that they can only recov er such right by securing favorable action In Congress. THE BACCHANTE. Cor the People Who Thoaght Her 1Mb moral. One day, while many people stood about the statue enjoying It as usual, says Time and the Hour.a person broke into the circle and cried out: "This figure must be removed. The woman is naked and the subject is ob scene." There were murmurs of astonish ment. Then a man with a mallet in his hand said: "I have stopped here many times on my way to work. It makes me glad to see the merry creature. I never saw any wronR in it." "No wrong in it?" was the reply. "Have your morals been so neglected that you can look upon a nude statue without seeing evil in it? And you, and you, and you?" None of the crowd seemed to under stand the speaker. Before any one could answer he rushed from the place, shouting as he went: "It must come down!" While the people were angrily asking one another what it all meant, an old gentleman with a book under his arm stepped forth and said: "Your statue is indeed, my friends, in danger. A few such enemies of sweet ness and light can burrow through the dirt and, as this person has threatened, overthrow it. He is one of those unfor tunates who, in their efforts to purify the world, see so much of its vice that they become incapable of seeing its vir tue. The evil that you could not find in the statue is in his own mind, which has, alas! been tainted by his contact with the vices he seeks to cure. Yet this downfall is owing to misguided at tempts to do good. It should excite not your anger, but your pity." VACATION SCHOOLS IN CITIES. A few years ago it would have seem ed odd to choose the close of summer for a review of educational progress. But the summer schools have changed all that. Nowadays much of the best work in education is done in summer. Moreover, a new kind of summer school, very interesting in many ways, has lately come into notice. In the summer of 1894 The New York Association for Improving the Condi tion of the Poor began on a large scale the experiment of vacation schools for the children of the tenements. Edu cation was not the sole purpoJe of the enterprise, which was, in fact, closely akin to fresh air funds and other schemes for brightening the lives of the boys and girls crowded in the nar row streets and stifling houses of the poorer quarters of the city. The Department of Schools and Ed ucation granted the use of three cool, roomy schoolhouses, and the managers undertook the task of coaxing the children- into them. Books were discarded. The children vrerc invited to come and play. Grad ually the play was made work, but work of such a sort as to keep the ! pupils interested and pleased. All the devices of the kindergarten were em ployed. There were singing, dancing and gymnastics. The children were taught to play at sewing, at carpeting, at drawing and clay-modeling. Some of them learned something useful; and all were comfortably and cleanly housed during the school hours, and kept off the hot streets and away from vicious associations. There has been no trouble about get ting the children to come since they have found out what the vacation schools are like. The average daily at tendance during the first summer was nearly one thousand. The second sum mer it was more than three times as great. During the session just closing eleven schoolhouses were used, and the average attendance during the first week was more than six thousand. The cost per day for each child was about eleven cents and a half in 1894; in 1S96, by better management, it was reduced to less than five cents. The officers of the association main tain that the vacation schools are no longer an experiment, and accordingly they ask the city to make the Bystem a part of its educational vJork. Other cities have done something in the same direction, but nowhere else has the plan been worked out so fully a3 in New York. lteinembcr the Children. "Don't ride roughshod over the chil dren's tastes and preferences," says a motherly woman, writing of dress. "It is an old time notion that a little con sultation and yielding here panders to vanity. Our tastes o not come upon us like a birthday gift at sixteen. It :s attention and skillful pruning, not a snip at every turn, that develops ihe little girl's crudities into a woman's delicate tastes. rjon't drive the little girl into self-conscious awkwardness by compelling her to wear something that some twist of childish fancy ren ders hateful." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A New Game. People of Biddeford, Me., are of opinion that a new game has been worked among them. A man repre senting himself as the agent of a New York publishing house went there and hired a youth of the place to go over the directory with him and point out the prosperous residents of Biddeford and Alfred. Nothing has been heard sinee of the book agent, but the houses of several of the people; who were pointed out as being in good ciicjm stances have been visited by thieves. Where Sails Are Made. Baltimore supplies the shops of all nations with sails. That city Is the center of the cotton duck industry of the world, and not only furnishes saib for foreign navies, but tents for for eign armies, the production of its twelve factories being greater than the product of B.Y: other factories in the world combined. It is a strict rule with the big trans atlantic steamship companies that tbe wife of the captain shall not travel in his ship. The supposition is that if anything should happen to the ship, the captain, instead of attending to hia public duty, would devote his atterrtiorj maicly tp the safety of his wife. Cera far lice. A correspondent who in writing re fers to the fact that everybody who speaks upon the subject at all Is ad Tislng against the large use of corn in swine growing, wishes to know to what extent corn should, in our judgment, he fed to hogs, says Blooded Stock. To make a pretty good western hog, taV ing the whole animal's life from wean ing until market, and speaking in a general way, it would be ho bad Idea to make one-fourth of the pig with clover, bne-fpurth with oats, bran, shorts and other food of growth, and one-half of corn, the balk of the latter to be fed late in the latter's life and chiefly after the preparation for mar ket lias been decided upon. This would mean very light feeding of corn dur ing the growing period, the bulk of the food then consisting of feed stuffs more appropriate for growth making: and while there is no better finishing feed than corn, and it can hardly be crowded too fast in the latter part of the feeding, the present tendency of market demands would indicate rather a smaller proportion of it than is above suggested, as compared with the totai amount of feed given from weaning to slaughter, as suitable to make the kind of hog the market wants. The tenden cies are all in the direction cf lighter and growth ler and more muscular swine. The cuts of which -the packer's goods must now consist in order to till his orders, weigh very considerably less than the same cuts used to weigh. He has nothing like the demand and can obtain nothing like the price for lard that he used to receive, and hence more food of growth and less corn is necessary to make the kind of hog which he says he wants. One of these days the packer will discriminate be tween the two kinds of hogs and pay a premium for those that suit the mar ket demand. When that time comes be will get what he wants, for the western farmer con make It if it is made an object for him to do so, but in the meantime while the margin be tween the lard hog and those that more nearly approach the bacon hog is nar row and fat is only slightly di&rim inated against, the lard hog will con tinue to be made, because it Is more easily made. The Rockr Mountain Sheep. The Rocky Mountain sheep inhabit the lofty chain from which they derive their name, from its northern termi nation, in latitude GS degrees, to about latitude 48 degrees, and perhaps fur ther south. They also frequent the el evated and cragged ridges with which the country between the great moun tain range and the Pacific coast is in tersected, but they do not seem to have advanced further eastward than the declivity of the Rocky Mountains, nor are they found in any of the hillj tracts near Hudson's Bay. .They col lect in herds of from thirty to forty young rams and females, herding to gether during the -winter and spring. Mr. Drummond informs us that the Rocky Mountain sheep exhibited the simplicity of character so remarkable in the domestic species, but that where they had been often fired at, they were exceedingly wild, alarmed their com panions o the approach of danger by a hissing noise, and scaled the rocks with a speed and agility that baf fled pursuit. Some naturalists have supposed that this variety of the sheep family is substantially the same as the Asiatic Argali, but of diminished stat ure. Others dissent from this opinion, not only on account of its size but of a difference in the curvature of the borna. Those who maintain it imagine that some of the Argali originally pass ed Behring Strait on the ice to the American continent. Kradlcate Tuberculosis. The demonstration that tuberculosis Is one and the same disease In both animals and men, has opened up a new field for useful work on the part of both local and state boards of health. Here tofore the attempt to eradicate tuber culosis from the dairy herds has been undertaken by state cattle commis sions. The most extensive work under state control has been in the eastern states, and has, for various reasons, thus far resulted in only partial suc cess. The need of absolute purity in the milk supply makes the eradication of tuberculosis a necessity. It Is claim ed here that this is practicable only by the local boards of health controll ing their own milk supply by issuing licenses to both producers and vend ers, after a thorough inspection of the dairy and cattle by the veterinarian of the board. This plan is now being carried out in our own city, under a lo cal inspection ordinance made possible by a special act of the state legislature. The constitutionality of this measure has been confirmed by a decision of the supreme court of the state of Min nesota. Charles E. Cotton. Local Value of Fruits. It is true be yond a doubt that local conditions of soil and climate cause fruit to greatly vary. Thus the Rhode Island Green ing is a splendid apple in its own dis trict, while in central Pennsylvania 'it is a tough, nearly worthless fruit. Smith's Cider is a valuable winter ap ple near Philadelphia, while it 13 not much grown elsewhere. In central Pennsylvania the Major is a valuable apple, not much known out of the cen tral counties of tbe state. The Ben Davis Is said to be an excellent apple in southwest Missouri. The Le Conte pear is of no value except in the south. Strawberries vary greatly within a very narrow radius. Planters should pay much attention to this matter in mak ing their selections of fruit trees and plants. G. 6. GroS in Exchange. Sediment in Milk. Halt the milk cent into our cities will deposit a vile sediment after standing. When stables are ill-kept and milkers careless there is a decided "off" flavor to the entire milking. Offensive dust collects upon the udder, and finds its way Ir.to the pail. Part of it settles after passing the coarse strainer, and part will be found floating on the cream Ex. Icelandic Sheep. "The Iceland sheep," says Zouatt, "that have come ' u,ider my personal observation, are of ' t'.tar'ihlv laree aize and strnnelv finllr I Their fleece consists of coarse hair ex Urnally, with an under layer of close wool. Their horns are generally four in number, sometimes six, or even eight, and this is" the more remark able, as the Iceland cows, and oxen are mostly polled." The Right Cow.
