I .r THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : .ETODAY. SEPTEMBER 23 ; 1887. THE POWERS OF THE BOARD , Do They Extend Beyond Individual Instan ces in Eegnlating Bates ? A TEST CASE TO BE SUBMITTED. Railroads Fixing Wlron for the BtAtn Convention The " " "Proxy" Dodge haying the Corner Stone lit n coin in IlrlcC frnoit THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU. ! The board of transportation was in session the entire day yoblorday discuss ing and preparing for aclion on the vital points at issue in the worK of securing rate reductions. The opinions In regard to the powers of the board under the law in declaring an unreasonable rate and Ihe power to substitute a reasonable one was handed by the secretaries , who hoard the evidence , down lo the board Itself. Judge Mason and Mr. Aycr presented written pinions covering the law and Ihu argu ments. Judge Allison's opinion hold lhat the board had the power to declare a rate unreasonable and Ihc power lo state what in their judgment was a reasonable rate which which would be prim a facto evi dence for a court , and that it was not limited to the smgla case of a single com plainant , but that it covered the rales over Iho entire road complained against. Mr. Aynr's opinion was much the same ns Judge Mason's in regard lo the powers of the board , Iho dillerenccs in them being mainly on the interpretation of ono section of the law. Mr. Munger gave no writlon opinion , but expressed orally an opinion of tho' same character as Iho others. * In giving il , however , ho staled that * ho agreed for the puiposo ot getting the question direct before the courts. if the board did not hold that they had Ihc power Iho case could not reach the courts' and bo held on the advisability of having the question settled. Ho thought that in making the law it had been hedged in so that a complaint could not reach beyond the individual making it , and that the law had been framed purposely lo keep the board from expressing any power over rates in general. The board of transportation will undoubtedly endorse the findings of the secretaries in the premises and the next step will be the di reel charges against the Elkliorn road which is the ono upon which the tent case will bo made. How this case will be pre sented was up for discussion and the plan prepared by Judge Mason was re ceiving the attention of Iho board yester day. It is not yet definitely promulgated what ttio prococdurj will be , but the time has arrived for certain and positive ac lion that shall bo unmistakable in its thoroughness and lest whether the board of transportation law is a legal power or n legal subterfuge. UKUMMINO Ul' "IMIOXIES. " The oflbrts ot Iho railroads in general , and Iho U. & M. in particular , to control the coming state convention grow 'more 1 ! and more apparent every day. It is tiio struggle in which , if successful , they hope to defeat Judge Maxwell fet > a man they can control , and also to defeat all the ellbrts made by the board of trans portation to secure bettor freight rates in the stato. The emissaries of the com pany have departed from the c.ily for Iho WOCK , rounding up convenlioiis , issuing orders to strikers over Iho stale , and manipulating conventions yet to bo held. About Saturday evening there will bo a return of n half dozen of the "em ployes" to this oily lo report. Ouo of Iho expediences lhat the roads are working for all it is worth , is that of securing proxies. A delegate lhat the roads can not control will pay his faro to the state convention , but there will bo proxies in abundance to take Iho place of these if bv any means they can secure the proxy , nnd not ono of these railroad proxies but ' will be transported to the convention. If the record is kept the road will show a grout increase in employes during the next thirty days , A resident in a central & ' county who has boon elected a delegate fcl'JiS ! reports the ctlbrts afloat in his a I" county tn gather in proxies nnd what is f true of ono locality Is true of all. There has never been a convention of late years in which the roads so actively engaged in Iho proxy business as ihe present and the animus they have shown to Judge Maxwell heretofore will be exercised in a final attempt to defeal him. A sland taken by the political parties in the stale endorsing Iho cllbrls to reduce rates to a living basis compared with ether states , will mean something m a practical way IP" nnd Iho order has gene forth to defeat A v any endorsement of the efforts lo reduce \ , < rates ut all huzaids. The convention will bo therefore of more than ordinary importance. SUritKMK COURT I'UOCEEIHNOS. Court met pursuant to aejournment. Charles 1) . Moypr , csq. , of Omaha , was admitted to practice.

Yesterday afternoon the entire conference - once and a largo number of Lincoln citi zens assembled at the foundation of tiio new Wcsleyan university to witness the laying of the corner stone. Transporla | tion to the university grounds was furnished nishod by a special train placed at the ' " disposal of the conference by tbo Bur- - liugton folks , and it was very liberally patronized. At Iho silo of Ihe university Bishop Hurat presided at Iho laying of the stone nnd made an eloquent address. The St. Paul Choral union furnished music and a large number of the confer- unco ministers took part in the proceed ings. The stone was filled with copies of fticlhndist journals , dallies of the oily , the charter of the school und ether docu < nients and the proceedings entire were of an impressive character , ushering , as they did , into Iho wcsl , a now cdiica llonal institution lhat promise ? , as the years pass by , to become ono of Iho greal universities of Iho laud. The conference Iransacted litllo busi ness yesterday aside from Iho laying o : Iho stone , and immediately after the ex ercises the sale of lots r.s advertised com mmiccd. IN IIUIEK.

A Horrible Story of the Hawaiian Buirar Plantation. Los Angeles ( Cal. ) Times : II. Benedict , a waller In a Main struct restaurant , only reached this city a few days ago. Ho lias just escaped from alifo of slavery thai is , according lo his history , a hun dred times moro severe in every respect than were the old slavery days before ihe war. Learning of Ibis fact , a Times re porter looked him up yesterday and drew out the following statement , which was told in a straightforward manner lhat can not bo disbelieved : "Almost six years ago. " began Mr. Benedict. " was a waiter in a San Fran cisco rostauranl , when was taken sick , and the doctors who atlondod mo laid mo lhat I would have to go away from San Francisco fogs unless wanted to die with consumption. The first day lhat was able to bo out walked down to Ihc waler fronl and was walching llio ships discharge , when a stranger approached and asked me lo take a walk. After hav ing a li'lle conversalion with mo ho learned that wished to leave the city nnd ho told mo thai ho was friendly wllh a number of people in Honolulu , and that ho was confident that could get work as soon u. ' readied Iho Islands. He laid mo that ho represented a certain linn , and was confident that I could get free passage to Ihc islands if I would go , I mot him the next day and he informed rae thai he had secured tliir , teen others who would go , nnd ho inlro- duccd mo to several of them. They ao- bought it a good chance to got out If California for a while , and consented to go. Wo sailed on u schooner , under a man named Myers , and were trealcd like regular passengers for a few days , or unlll wo all got over our seasickness , when Captain Myers came around one day with a big blank book in bis humid. Ho asked us our Iruo names , place of birth , ago , and what occupalion wo had followed. "Wolhought it very strange proceed ings , but said nothing , although we wcro greatly troubled. When we reached the islands we did not go into a porl , but stopped outside. A steam launch was alongside , and a man who represented himself lo bo a doctor came aboard. Ho and the captain were closeted for quito a while , when thu doclor came aft and gave each Ono of us a medical examination. 'Iho captain and the doctor then left the ship nnd a few hours later wo weighed anchor , and for two days wo wcro sailing in and out among the islands. Finally wo wcro lauded at a largo sugar planta tion and glvon to understand that wo wcro to work in the field. Wo learned the next day that Iho plantation was owned by two men who were con sidered Iho hiirdc.it task-maslors on Iho islands. Wo were told lhat we had been employed through the captain , and Dial wo were lo get $50 n monlh each. We lies- italcd about going tuwork al ( irst.buttho foreman talked very nice to us , and after wo had worked a month wo went to the foreman's qllico to draw our pay. Hero wo wcro horrified to find lhat wo had been sold lo the sugar planters as slaves at so much a head , and that it would take us just throe years to'buy our freedomif wo worked every day. Wo were credited with 25 cents a day when we workedand when wo wcro too sick to work they charged us 75 conls a day for board. Thev paid so much for us und wo hud lo work our freedom out at Ihe rate of 25 conls a day , and under the laws of the island wo agreed to this contrucl Ihe first day wo worked as going to work of our own free will signified thai we were will ing lo work for the planters for our passage sago to the islands. Well , wo made a hard kick against such Iroalmenl , but there was no help for it.us the plantation was guarded by a company of native soldiers , who were only lee willing lo shoot a white slave who attempted to cscapo. "When wo refuted to work , wo were placed in the stocks and whippet until the blood streamed oft" our backs When a man wanted to lay oft' because of sickness , a plantation doctor is called in , and if the doctor says he is not sick the poor fellow is cither whipped or killed. have known them to lake a man out and shoot him because ho could not work. A man was taken vie lontly sick ono day , but the doctor said ho was all right and the overseer made him go to the field. He struggled along until about noon , when dropped down dead. Wo wcro worked ten hours a day and no set of men were over worked harder in the world. Out of the fourteen who went with me there are but few who lived through their slavey days. Aflcr haa boon there Ihrco years thought my tlmo was up , but had a surprise in store for mo in the shape of a bill the company had against mo for eating sugar cano and playing sick. Tbo overseer bad charged mo with every mouthful of sugarcane cano I over ate , and it took mo just two years moro to work it out at the rate of JJ5o a day. never nlo any moro sugar cane , and , us good luck would have it , was not sick. It took mo just five years and a few weeks to work out , and if I had time to tell you what 1 suffered dur ing that time you would wonder that I am alive to-day. Pcopla might live in Honolulu a life time and never know anything about tno slave system that is being carried on in the Sandwich Islands.

A Bon of Erin lale Takes Kiceptton Mr. Savldgo' * Sermon , To the Kdltor of the HF.E : 1 heartily agree with Kov. Mr. Savldgo in ins con- damnation of profanity , and 1 will fur- tber add , that when it descends to the limit of blasphemy , it becomes actually nauseating. Still I must differ with the reverend gentleman on a cotiplo of points. was really astonished to learn that to his personal knowledge two press report ers had boon guilty of swearing. The reverend gentleman surely was mistaken. A newspaper man never swears. It is true that when giving animated expres sion to the richness of his ideas.ordinary words may fail to convey his thoughts , and then , from a constant acquaintance with literature , in prose and verso his ordinary conversation may bo graced with an emphatic rhetoric which to the inexperienced might pass for pro fanity. Still it is only exaggerated emphasis , nothing moro. Rev. Mr. Sav- idgo says Americans have taught other nations how to swear and drink whisky. With regard to the whisky drinking , there is a right wav and a wrong way of drink ing it , and If the ingenious American has instructed outside barbarians to drink it in a proper manner , that is , in moderation , and with a tanto for liquor of good quality , why , ho has done some thing ot which ho may be proud. Still , I am under the impression that the early Puritan had some old Jamaica Rtowed nwuy in the Mayllowcr , and it strikes rae it was not made in America , nnd the Now England ancestor learned "to get outside of it" somewhere else than in America. never hoard of a Yankee crossing over to old Innishowen to loach my Nturdy Irish ancestors how to distil the ' 'mountain dow , " and when , "Robbie liurns" tells us , how in his Ilioland glen , "U'illiu brewed a peck o' muut. " ho makes no mention of a wan dering Kcntuckian instructing him how to do it. The American novcr taught anybody how to drink whisky ; it is a science that comes by nature , nnd the American is about as apt a pupil as any body olso. The Americans , however , are absolutely calumniated whou it is said they have taught other nations to swear. Long before America was dis covered , the English , for .whom Air. Savidgc has such a penchant , were noted for their profanity , and their habit of taking God's name in vain. In Gui/.ot's history of France , we read that when bravo Joan of Arc was rous ing her countrymen against the English , him would say : "Courage , Frenchmen , nnd we will drive the God-dams ( the Enirlish ) from our country. " The habit of swearing , like many other things , came over in the Mayttowcr. but there is no particular evidence to show - that any particular ship carried a sample of American oaths to England. Why single out the English gentleman as a mouel of anti-swi-aring perfection ? The duke of Marlborough is to all intents and purposes an English gentleman , but in point of gentlemanly conduct is not lit to wipe the shoes of many an honest American whoso swearing would take the cake from the proverbial army o ! Flanders. . Now , to conclude. have to toll the Hov. Mr. Savidgc that English is actually too poor a language for American ideas , and on that account is largely responsible for the apparently meaningless profanity that interlards American conversation. The Celtic typo is the most prominent of American characteristics to-day ; the never-ending restlessness of mind and body , the quickness of ideathe eagerness to make that idea understood , traits so common to the Celtic nations , are em bodied in the American , and the only medium ho has wherewith to express his rapidly revolving thoughts , is the slow , almost grammarlcss tongue known as English. So patent are its shortcomings , that Americans are daily inventing words that will in some way express what their minds would wish to convey to others. Profanity is a vice that can be easily dispensed with , and ought to bo con demned , but as an Irishman don't think my American friends should bo saddled with moro sins than is justly their due. JOHN ' . SUTTON. Removing H Serious Obstruction Gently. Dynamite and giant powder might answer admirably to remove obstruc tions from Hell Gate in East Uiver , New York , but explosive measures iii medica tion are ever attended with disastrous consequences. For instance , the bowels cannot bo violently drenched with safety , nor is there the slightest necessity for so doing. On the contrary , it is most un wise. Mono but the purblind adherents of antiquated theories in medicico ad- vis * or sanction such a course. To weaken the intestines the ellect of dras tic purgation is to compromise the health of the entire system. With Hos teller's Stomach Hitters , on the other hand , the bowels are relaxed , not by a convulsion of nature approximating to an eruption of Mt. Popocatapetl , but gradually , beneficially , without wrench ing or drenching. The liver and stomach ach , as well as the bowels , are toned and benetittod by it Dalit His ) Own Tomb. San Francisco Examiner : Their died yesterday , at his homo , m Alameda , Hugh Whittell , seventy-seven roars of age , and a pioneer of ' 40. Mr. Whittell was in many respects a peculiar man. Born in the north of Ireland , he early went to sea. lu time ho became a ship captain , and ore long ho traveled oa his vessel to all the principal ports of the discovered world. Traveling grow to be a passion with him , and , abandoning his ship , he visited the interior of nearly till habit able countries. For years his form has been a familiar oiu' on the streets of San Francisco. Ho was six feet high and straight as an ar row ; always appearing ia-u. faultless suit of black and wearing a very handsome black silk hat. These , combined with his scrupulous neatness , his military car riage , and his snow while hair and board made him a sinking figure , well remem bered among all classes. ' The old gentleman was very odd and eccentric in his habits of doing business. Five years ago ho conceived the idea that ho must have a tomb got ready for himself - self , and he set about it with great care. Upon a broad and handsome granite base ho had erected on his burial lot in the Masonic cemetery an exquisite white marble shaft. On this was inscribed in large Roman letters : IIUG11 WHITTELL , uonx IN 1810. DIII : . lie Traveled Over the First Hallway Ever Dinlt In Knelaud. and Crossed trie Atlantic on the first Steam- snip That Kver Ploughed the Ocean , lie Kxpluroil Many Lands and Died in the Fullness ot the Faith : Amen. The novolly of a man preparing his tomb many years before his death at tracted many visitors to the spot , wbore wind and rain hud shaken and stained the monument , but weird as it looked il never had any terrors for the old man. And hero the tired pioneer will find a last resting place to-day. Mr. Whilloll leaves an estate valued at $1,000,000. Ho has countless houses anil lots in this city , Oakland , Alemeda , anil elsewhere , as well as line country prop erty. Ho was exceedingly shrewd anil keen on n trade , nnd would allow nc agent or middleman to do anything fet him. If ho were selling any property IK could never bo persuaded to sign the deed until ho first actually had the mono ? in his hand. Ho had some f 10,000 in Donohoo , Kelly & Co. bank , whichwai , merely kept for ua'o tn § of an emergency , nnd ho was a largo owner ot Spring Valley Water Block , and of Block of other corporation .

If ho gets into a broker's ofllca where there are live stirring men , and ho has good staying qualities , ho will probably rise from Ihe humbler duties of a clerk lo a wider field of operation. liut there are ofliccs within a stone's throw whore old fogy ism prevails , and a man might as well bo paving the streets for a fortune ns lo cnlcr ono of thorn.

That is an aptiludo lhat has ils manifest use in the financial world , but it is not that lhat dovclopcs a man's fortunes beyond the point of a decent living. On the other hand there are oilier men who are the exact opposite of the Tim Linkinwaters , men who are all dash aud bravado who attempt a big coup that word 1 use bo- catiso ll expresses the idea better than anything I happen to know in the Eng lish language such men are almost sure to make worse failures in the street than the slow , methodical plodders. Yet most outsiders , I imagine take all brokers for just such mon , because the magni- ludo of operations is oftentimes binding and the public cannot see the real cir cumstances at the back of them , of course n man who is unknown and is backed or recommended by somebody of intluenco might tind it difficult to gel into a Vail street otlico.
