SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Sept. 29.-The opinion was
rendered by the Illinois supreme court yesterday
the state legislature to regulate rates charged by
railroads Tor freight carried to points outside OF
Illinois, and whether the act prohibiting unjust
ton OF the Constitution OF the United States The
case is one wherein a per cent larger rate is
charged on haul from Gilman to New York than
on the haul from Peoria to New York. though the
distance from Peoria is greater by Sc miles 1t
was held by the court that the charge was unjust,
excessive, eXtortiOnate ana unlawful; and, In
effect, the court upholds the authority OF the rai
road and warehouse commissioners to regulate
freight charges from points in Illinois to points
outside the state.

THE GOOD WORK IN EGYPT.
Missionary Wolseley Bringing the Rebels
to Repentance.
THE KHEDIvE ISSUES A MANIFESTO.


Alexandra, September 25.-The khedive
has issued manifesto declaring that England
has great interests in Egypt both in regard to
finances and her traffic through the Suez canal,
and that for the protection OF those interests
she was compelled TO interfere, but she has no
intention of annexing the country. The khe-
dive announces that he has authorized zen.
Wolseley to represent him in restoring order
and the punishment of rebels. All loyal
Epvptians are called upon to render Gen.
Wolseley every assistance. Any refusing to
do so will be treated as rebels.
ARABS ADVICE ABOUT THE NoTABLEs.
Cairo, September 25.-The khedive has ar
rived here. Among Arab Pasha's papers are
written offers of service from French, Ger
man and Russian officers, which were all de-
clined. Arabi says the best thing the Eng
lish could do for Egypt would be to send off
all the notables and other leading men con-
nected with the rebellion of the country. If
they do not do so, vengeance will surely be
wreaked on them after the departure of the
English.
Arabs ADMIRATION OF THE ENGLISH.
Seeing the manner in which the English
treated their prisoners and wounded, Arab
saws they are great people. He is partly sorry
he fought them. tie asserts mat ne never
thought the English would send large army
to assist the khedive, and so was led into the
war. He denies that he had any communica-
ton with the sultan during the war.

eign consul on q state occasion.
The correspondent also reports that flags
were displayed yesterday in Benha, Tantah,
Damietta, and Dame Tehour in celebration of

In few years the heart of Africa
the great equatorial region, with its
fruitful table lands and its mutitudi-
nous people-will be as we'll known to
the commercial world as any part of
India or the 1sthmus of Darien. Stanley
has explored the Congo river for more
than twelve hundred miles; he saw that
a new highway for commerce could be
opened up. A company was formed in
Belgium to further his new enterprise
Stanley was sent back with an equip
ment to open up a great commercial
highway to the heart of the continent.
About the same time DeBrazaa was sent
out by a French company for the same
purpose. There has been some rivalry
between the two interests. But tho
mcst important fact remains that the
path of commerce is located in the path
OF the geographical explorer. Central
Africa swarms with population. The
land except around the coast is favor
able to human life. The explorers were
struck with the great resources of the
country. There are gold, ivory and the
richest tropical productions, all awaiting
the utilizing hand of commerce.

claim age' IS and percentage of pen.
sioners are vigorously opposing the pas
sage through congress of the resolution
calling upon the commissioner of pen-
sions to furnish for publication the list of
pensioners. It becomes more evident
every day that there are dishonest pen

others who are not entitled to pensions
under the law are constantly being filed.
1t is these classes and the agents who

The Boston Journal combats the idea

The BOSTON, Journal combats the idea
so sedulously circulated by large employ.
ers OF labor that there is constant ten
dency to an increase in price for the nec-
essaries of life with "good times" and
that nothing but serious depression in
wages will bring them down. The Jour-
nal publishes table of wholesale prices
which compares the prices of the present
time with those of May, 1882, and No.
vember, 1881; they are given for beef,
butter, beans, coal, Goldfish, coffee, corn,
cotton, flour, iron, pork, potatoes, leath-
er, sugar and wool. It is shown that the
prices were uniformly higher in May than
they were in the preceding November,
the difference being on the average over
ten per cent, while i'll beef, butter, corn
and potatoes it was nearly thirty per cent.
The prices for last month, however,
show an average decrease of ten per
cent, in comparison with those of last
year. There are three exceptions, beef;
butter and pork, all of which are higher
than a year ago, but all other staples of
food are less. There is marked reduc-
ton in the price of all the m aterials of
clothing, and altogether the price of liv.
ing is less than it was year ago, with
the further encouragement that the ten
dency of the market is toward falling in.
stead of rising.

In his annual message President Ar
thur suggested that grants of consider
able sums of money for diverse and in
dependent schemes should be made the
subject OF separate and distinct legisla-
tive enactments or else that the Con.
stitution of the United States should be
so amended as to permit the President
to veto any particular items of a bill ap-
propriating money and to approve the
rest. A bill for such an amendment is
now before Congress and there is no
good reason why it should not pass.
Such al amendment is now in force in
New York and several other States, and
gives universal satisfaction. 1t is a
blow at jobbery and immoral compro-
misses and bargains, and will save to the
taxpayers every year vast amount of
money!.

The New York Tribune has discovered
what it believes to be the principal rea-
son why churches are not we'll filled, or
why & majority are not more than one
or two-tAirds full. The fact is attributed
to the reading Of written sermons or
preaching from more or less copious
notes, when they should adopt the prac-
tice Of lawyers, and stump orators,
which is much better calculated to engage
and hold attention. This view of the
subject is not new. 1t has been meal
Gated for many years, and large num-
Der Of ministers have discarded written
discourses. But are the churches better
filled than under the old system2
