Court, and it all arose over two cents.
In this it was like the six-pence shiE
money that Hampden refused TO pay.
It has led to important results. The
Chicago and Burlington Railroad
Company has by its charter the power
to establish such rates of tolls for the
conveyance of persons and property
as it shall from time to time by its
bylaws determine. One Neal Rug
giles, who was travelling on that road
a distance of six miles, rendered
eighteen cents fare, the State Legis-
lature having fixed the maximum rate
of fare at three cents per mile. The
company, however, had fixed the fare
between the stations at twenty cents,
and Ruggles was asked for his addi-
tional two cents, which he refused to
pay. The conductor attempted to
put him off. For this the conductor
was arrested and tried before a mag
istrate, and the case went up to the
Supreme Court of Illinois, where the
fine originally opposed was confirmed,
the Court holding with the State
The railroad company thereupon ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court of the
United States, upon the ground that
the act of the General Assembly of
Illinois fixing maximum rate of
charges for the transportation of pas
sengers on railroads in the State, was
unconstitutional and void because it
impaired the obligation of the con-
tract contained In the charters of the
various companies which were merged
into the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad Company by consol-
idation. The Court of last resort now
holds first, that grants of immunity
from Legitimate governmental control
are never to be presumed. On the
contrary, the presumptions are all the
other way, and unless an exemption
is clearly established the Legislature
is free to act on all subjects within
its general jurisdiction as public in
terests may seem to require. The
Court says that State may limit the
amount of charges by railroad COM
panies for fares and freights unless
restrained by some contract in the
charter, and in the case presented there
is no such restraints. The State, it is
true, has given the Board of Directors
of the railroad company the power to
establish such rates of tolls for the
conveyance of persons or property as
they shall, from time to time, by their
bylaws determine" but, says the
Court, such bylaws must not be re-
pugnant to the constitution and laws
of the State. If the State had not
the Legislative power to regulate the
charges of carriers for hire the case
would be different, but that question
has been settled, and the amended
charter which this company secured
from the Legislature must be con-
strued in the light of that establish
ed power.
So in substance it is determined
that Notwithstanding the Legislature
may have granted to corporation the
power to fix its fares, yet the Legisla-
ture still has right to overrule what
the company do in the matter and fix
different fares. It is considered that
about all the substance has been
whitfield out of the celebrated Dart |
mouth College case, which has so
long stood as q protection of power
granted to companies against legisla-
tive interference.

Let the Discussion Proceed.

Lake Charles Echo.l
We have noticed an indication on
the part of not a few of our brethren
of the press, in the country parishes,
to disregard the fatherly advice of
the city papers, gratuitously giyen,in
regard to discussing political affairs
of the State, at this particular time.
We can see no objection to such a
discussion. The election, as well as
the Democratic State Convention, is
a long time off it is true, and for
that very reason we should CON-
mence to post ourselves. There is
long, hot summer looming up in
the near future, and the time eau be
prOfitably employed in an exchange
of opinions on certain measures and
men. A few politicians and office
seekers have too often manipulated
matters in this State for the good of
the people at large, and a change in
that regard is necessary, il the pros
perity and welfare of the State is to
be considered. The Democratic
majority in this State is SO large
there is no necessity of wasting time
or breath in the discussion of Re-
publican measures or of probable
Republican candidates for any State
Office. Scattered all over this State
are men qualified and deserving of
position. Men of whom very little
is known, because they have been
too modest to rush to the front and
blazen forth their own virtues or
their party services. Those are the
men now needed. If it could be
done, it might pay large dividends
to have public positions seek out
the proper men to Eli them-it
might be tried as an experiment.
The contrary has been the rule. A
few "selectn and self constituted
guardians and leaders of the Demo
cratic party get together, fix up
slate, send out circulars, and when
delegates come up to the Convention
it is generally known before the bal
lOting commences who the winning
men viii be. The mass of the voters
live in the country parishes and it
is mainly their home papers which
influence their actions. The Echo, |
as before intimated, has no political |
Ak to grind, nor have we any pet |
for Office, but we are a |
little anxious to see the people |
aroused, so that when Convention
is called men can be found in every |
parish, thoroughly posted, who viii |
go as delegates, without prejudice
or partiality, and vote for the very
best men. We do not pretend to be
informed better than others, per-
haps, less so, but it will be observed |
BY readers of this paper, as the dis
cussion proceeds, that we shall
take hand, wherever our services
are most needed.

just like that The dial plate is the
sky, and the marks upon the dial plate
are the stars. That one hand is the
moon, and the sailor has the means of
telling the exact Greenwich time by
that clock by simply noticing the exact
position of the moon among the stars.
There is published in London won
derful almanac, called the Nautical
Almanac" which is published every
year five years in advance, and in that
almanac there is laid down the exact
Greenwich mean time for every possible
position. of the moon among the stars.
Consequently, all that the sailor has to
do is to find out the exact position of
the moon among the stars and to turn
to his Nautical Almanac" and having
found that position against it he will
see marked the exact Greenwich time.
That is what is called the lunary Theory
of finding the longitude. I don't know
of anybody else ever having attempted
to make that most abstruse subject
clear to popular audience. --Dot,an1a1o,

DOES THE u1ss1ss1prr RUN UP HILLS

The erroneous notion that the Missis
sippi river is actually higher at the
mouth than at its source has obtained
a general belief among intelligent
people. This notion grows out of the
fact that the earth is not perfect
globe, its diameter at the equator being
a little more than twenty-six miles
greater than the diameter from pole to
pole. A mathematical calculation
shows that the average distance from
the center of the earth to its surface on
the parallel of Balize, at the mouth of
the Mississippi, is nearly two miles
greater than the average distance from
the center of the earth to its surface on
the parallel of Lake Itasca, the source
of the Mississippi. But it does not fol-
low that the surface of the Mississippi
at its mouth is two miles higher than
Lake Itaska. Actual survey has dem
onstrated that it is not so; but, on the
contrary, that Lake Itaska is 1,575 feet,
or thereabouts, above sea level. The
rapid revolution of the earth on its
axis, at the rate of 1000 miles an hour,
causes the waters of the earth to flow
from the poles to the equator and re-
main at a general surface height of
about thirteen miles more from the
center of the earth than the surface at
either pole. So long as the earth main
tains its present rate of daily revolu-
ton The level of the Gulf of Mexico is
likely to be kept lower than the source
of the Mississippi, but it is easy to un-
derstand that should this diurnal rota-
ton cease, the ocean would recede from
the equator toward the poles, and not
only would the waters of the Gulf Of
Mexico rise higher than the source Of
the Mississippi, but all North America
except the portions nearest the equator
would be submerged At present the
earth's rotation on its axis serves as {
thoroughly effectual centrifugal pump
to drain the United States and enable
Uncle Sam to give every one of hi.

THE CHIITY INQUEST.

The Motor Management Pronounced
Bl0netess Jy the Coroner's Jury-The
accident Resulted from the Horse Being
Pulled AcT0Ss the Track, Combined tCith
the 44ttenpt of the Deceased to Jump from
the Carriage.
The jury in the Gritty inquest met yes
terday at the residence Of Mr.. Philbrook,
University avenue. to take the evidence of
Miss Philbrook, who was with Miss Nellie
Chitty in the carriage on the evening of the
accident. Dolly Philbrook, on oath, testi-
fed substantially as follows:
Was in the carriage on the evening of
the accident; we drove off Seventh street
on to First avenue; we were laughing and
talking, and the horse was going slow; first
saw the motor when we were twice the
length of the horse and buggy away; the
horse stopped when about one length of the
horse and buggy away; stopped still and
didn't appear to be frightened; only pricked
up his ears; Nellie and l screamed, and the
horse turned partially around; the motor
struck the side of the buggy and that
threw Nellie out; the buggy tipped and
that threw me over to the driver, we were
dragged some distance; neither Nellie nor
took hold of the lines, but 1 believe I put
one hand on PALMS shoulder; Nellie fell
out in front and to one side of the motor;
am positive she did not jump out of the
buggy; she was taken out from under the
first car next the engine; after being ia
ken out the only remark she made was al
the house, where she said, 'Is that you,
Palm?" I didn't tell Palm the accident
wouldn't have occurred if he had not driv.
en- there.
w. W. Allen, recalled, testified as to how
the accident occurred, and then the jury
retired and rendered the following yer
dict:
That in our opinion the accident wal
caused by the horse being pulled across
the track; and we believe further that Mel
lie Gritty met her death in attempting tx
| jump from the carriage; we further BELIEVE
that the motor was running at slow rat
of speed and instantly stopped as soon a.
it became apparent that there was DANCE
of an accident, and that no blame attache
to the management of the road or any 0
its employees.
This verdict is in accordance with tn
testimony Of the various witnesses exam
in ed in the case and is complete vindi
cation of the management of the motto
line. 1t may be said supplementary t.
this, that Col. McCrary has acted YER
GENEROUSLY in paying the expenses of tn
burial of Miss Chitty, together with tn
travelling expenses of her mother fror
Duluth and back to that city.

THE CLOCK IN THE SKY.

You will thus see that had you got a
clock which always kept good time,
and could carry that with you, you
could always tell your longitude by
looking at the stars or sun, and COM
pairing Greenwich time with their time
Unfortunately, clocks and chronome-
tiers, although constructed on most APP
proved principles, and very wonderful
machines, will not keep right for very
long together; consequently, on long
voyage, the chronometer, however well
it may behave when it is always in the
same temperature, will invariably get
out of order; you cannot, therefore,
trust to your chronometer. There is a
clock that you can trust, however.
When you look at an ordinary clock
you see that it consists of dial on
which are marked certain, figures, and
that from the center two. hands move
round it. But .supposing,. instead of
having such clock as that, you had
one with the marks put on, not at.regu,
{ lar distances. but anywhere, and in
stead Of having two hands it had only
one. which, instead of going regularly
round the dial, simply wandered about
in a peculiar manner now over one
dot, now. over another, with the
most irregular motion, you would say
you had very bad clock, and that the
man who made. that clock ought never
to make another. Very true; but sup
posing it was the only clock you had
and you could not possibly get another,
you would set TO work to learn ito
learn what was the exact time for every
possible position of that one hand over
and among the various marks on the
dial Well. sailors have got a clock

COLD WINTERS.

The following statistics of the good
winters are curious: In 4O1, the Black
sea was frozen over. In 76S, not only
the Black sea, but the straits of the
Dardanelles, was frozen ever; the snow
in some places rose fifty feet high. In
$50, the great rivers of Europe the
Danube, the Elbe, etc.-were so hard
frozen as to bear heavy wagons for a
month. In 1860, the Adriatic was
frozen. In 9s1, everything was frozen ;
the crops totally failed, and famine and
pestilence closed the year. In 1867,
the most of the travellers in Germany
were frozen to death on the roads. In
1133, the Pc was frozen from Cremona
to the sea; the wine casks were burst,
and even the trees split by the action
of the frost with immense noise. In
1886, the Danube was frozen to the
bottom, and remained long in that
state. In 1916, the crops wholly failed
in Germany; wheat, which some years
before sold in England at 6 shil1ings
the quarter, rose to 60. In 1889, the
crops failed in Scotland, and such a
famine ensued that the poor were re-
duced to feed on grass, and many per
ished miserably in the fields. The sue
cessive winters of 1882 '3333- "a were IN
commonly severe. It once showed forty
days without interruption. In 1913, the
wine distributed to the soldiers in Elan
ders was cut with hatchets. In 1854,
the winter was excessively cold. Most
of the hollies were killed. Coaches
drove along the Thames, the ice OF
which was eleven inches thick. In
1909 occurred the cold winter. The
frosts penetrated three yards into the
ground. In 1716, booths were erected
and fairs held on the Thames. In 1744
and 1745 the strongest ale in England
exposed to the air was covered in less
than fifteen minutes with ice an eighth
of an inch thick. In 1909. and again in
1912, the winters were remarkably cold.
In 1914 there was fair on the frozen
