The earliest Dutch colony was
planted ut Cape town IN 1919 at the
instance Of Jan VAu Riebeck, sur
geon aboard sDutch East India ship.
The object originally was 10 establish
a station where these ships could OBJ
tain fresh provisions and waters in
the course of their long voyages.
Jan Ricbeck became the first Goyer-
nor; tort was built where Cape
Town now stands, aud the strip OF
land at the base OF Table Mountain
speedily brought into cultivation.
Women came out from Holland, aud
when Louis XIV. revoked the edict
Of Nantes aud Holland swarmed with
French Protestant refugees, many OF
them were glad 10 go 10 the new col
ony, just as they came TO the English
plantations In America. The names

mauded nothing except to be let

Resolutions Adopted by the Anti
Railroad Convention at Leg
ington. Ky, March 23rd.

| Resolcei, That the railroads Of the
State are useful il not essential to the
promotion of all the material interests
Of the people, and therefore we have
no war to make ugainst the companies
now operating railroads, nor against
similar enterprises in the future, bnt,
on the contrary, We deem it good pol
Icy not only to maintain and uphold
the roads which have already been
constructed, but to encourage the
building Of others, SO as to secure
cheap and rapid interchange Of COM
modities between the citizens OF this
State and Of the United States. That
we regard all railroad companies as
quasi public, and not merely public
corporations, inasmuch as private
property can only be taken compul-
sorily for public use. ~ F z
2. Therefore, that the law-making
power Of the State has the undoubted
right to prevent by law the exercise of
their powers to the injury Of the pub
lie. II ]F
s. That we regard any discrimina-
tion for or against any individual, cor
poration. or company, in any place or
location on the line ol any railroad, in
respect to the charges Of transporta-
tion, as unjust, unlawful, and olious.
4. We regard draw backs, as they
are called, as frauds. violative of the
interests Of the pnblic and contrary to
the powers and privileges Of the char
tiers under which said companies are
acting. A
s. We regard all determinations
for or against any place or locality on
the line of any railway az unlawful,
unjust and odious.
O. That railroad- companies are
public carriers identified with the
commerce Of the country. and as such
they are bound to observe rules Of
strict Justice and equality to all per-
sons, companies and corporations Of
fering to do business on their respec-
tive railways, and any discrimination
in favor ofor against any person, COM
pany, or corporation, or any location
upon the line Of such railways is obi
ous and unjust.
ll 7. We regard the practice Of furn-
ishing free tickets to any officers of
the Government, whether State or
Federal. for travel or transportation
upon any railroad as impolitic, aud as
tending to corruption both in the COM
panies which offer and the parties who
receive the same, and we insist that a
law shall be enacted making it a pen
al offense against both parties.
8. To remedy the evils above COM
planned Of, we have no doubt the law
making power Of the State has ample
authority under the Constitution, and
we insist that it shall be done.
3. That we recommend the dis
tricts and counties sending Senators
and Representatives to the next leg
islature to make this question an issue
and elect Representatives consistent
with the claims and principles herein
set forth. 5i Iel-8f9 s..
