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.

TUK COUNKR STONE LAID.
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

A Horrible Story of the Hawaiian

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.

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

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 ,

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

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 .

BIICCCRH In Wall Street.
Denver Republican : "Succes In Wall
siroot"sald Deacon S. V. While , "do-
pends a good deal upou a man's ' environ
ment. 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

who are a great comfort to their em-
employers. 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

"The essential point between our btisi-
