OrCIAL STATEMENT OF INTER-STATE
COMMERCE
COMMISSION-.
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. Stick to the special
purpose cow. Do not get it into your
head that your milkers must be large
in order that by-and-by they will make Stt'i'-ke-pa'theharj-more
beef. Remember that this extra 'teulVtS JLMaSr
weisht must be feu all the years until '
she is sold. Lt her be a good milker,

Keeping Beavers.
It has been found impossible to
maintain beavers in the Philadelphia
Zoo. They would not bear "restraint
and did not tko kindly -to artificial
homes. A constant watch was needed
to prevent tho animals escaping from
the wire inclosiiro and cutting down
the vnluablo trees in the vicinity.
Logs were laid beside tho stream in
the inclosure and one family partially
constructed A houso. Before it was
finished, however, the cntiro colony
died, r.nd the attempt to cultivate tho
perverje auimal was given up hi dis
