A Shin on Fire.
[Cor. N. o. Times-Democrat.1

lCOf. IN. ". llleS-DemOcrat
Here on the Red sea, for the first time in
my seventy-fve days and nights of sea voy-
aging, l have taste Of what a fire on ship
board implies. One hot, breathless day the
chief officer is having large kettle of a
resinous liquor boiled, up forward on deck
stove, for application to certain parts of the
ship. 1t is left alone for a moment boils over
into the fire, and i'll a moment more the
whole mass is ablaze. The liquid flows over
the deck and almost before we can take the
fact in, great sheets of flame are leaping half
way up to the square-salis. The
alarm is sounded, the sailors rush to
the sand-barrels, and by the time each
man has thrown a pailful Of sand upon
the deck there is nothing left burning but the
kettle. Over this courageous fellow throw
a piece of sail-cloth, and two other men lift
it to the deck. In the meantime the captain
has ordered the donkey engine to work, and
there is an immense stream ready to play
upon the deck, were such a measure neces-
sary.
confess that my heart is humping away
wildly, but none of the officers or men seem
any more concerned than if such a scene were
of daily occurrence on shipboard.
A few men have been wounded or burned
in the operation, while some others have los
part of their clothing. | suppose no more
dangerous form of fire could break out, and
yet it is handled with perfect ease and does
not create ripple of excitement In three
minutes it has ceased to be subject of com

HOW a Lost Hat Found a Bride.

w unnpe2 Dun
One day last week gentleman living at
Qu'Appelle, received telegram from the
young lady whom he intended to make his
wife in few days, stating that she was at
the Grand Central hotel and to come on The
lady had been living in one of the northwest
ern states of the adjoining Union, and had
obligingly consented to meet her affianced
half way in order to complete their own
union. The happy and excited bridegroom
took it for granted that the Grand Central
was in Winnipeg, and lastly preparing for
the journey, boarded the first train for that
city. When nearing Brandon he put his head
out of the window to take a survey of the
situation. The wind blew his hat off, and he
landed at the station bareheaded OF course
his first care was to rush up town to buy a
new hat, but he had not gone far before be

THE LITTLE GRAVE.
BY c. o. FERGUSON.

Out there where the flowers are weeping,
l behold little grave;
Where a tinny form is sleeping,
Like star within the wave.
Twas little star which, straying
One night from its native skies,
Fell TO sleep while on earth staying,
And forgot to ope its eyes.
'Twas little ray of glory,
Falling from the heavens afar,
Flashing down proud Lies Aurora,
Through the pearly gates ajar.
'Twas little gem which Jesus
From His diadem dropped down
Lent little while to please US,
Then reset it in His crown.

French Views of Our Politics.


French views of American politics are gen
orally amusing, chiefly because of their de-
fcient knowledge Of the actual situation LIE
Figaro, of June 2, tells its readers that 'tto-
morrow there will assemble at Chicago 500
delegates charged with the duty Of electing
the future president Of the United States
an observation which perhaps would not be
altogether satisfactory to Democrats But,
again, LIE Figaro says: ''The Republican con-
gfess has more Importance than that of the
Democrats, which will be held in the same
city. The Democrats can not yet pretend to
take upon themselves the direction of affairs.
They will oppose to the Republican
candidate who will be produced at
Chicago, Monsieur Tilden, a veteran
in presidential contests whom the Demo-
Gratis have sustained in the three last
presidential elections. But Monsieur Tilden,
no more than Messrs. Carlisle, Hewich
(probably HewitD or Macdonald can contend
with Monsieur Arthur or Monsieur Blaine
The Republican candidate will certainly be
M. Edmunds lie grand favori a la presidence. >"
This is entertaining reading for Mr. Edmunds
and the Democrats; but The Current is not
much impressed with the prognostic ability
Of LIE Figaro touching the outcome of nomi-
mating conventions. LIE Figaro was more
certain of the nomination of Edmunds than
were the special organs Of that statesman in
this country

which he could thwart the conspirators and
procure their arrest and punishment The
agent was SO much impressed by the mans
story that he gave him money and promises
OF a liberal reward. When it was discovered
that Moses was a fraud the steamship COM
pany refused to prosecute him, and he escaped
arrest on that charge. In the latter part Of
March, 1882, Moses called upon Freeborn @.
Smith, piano manufacturer in New York.
and, representing himself as brother Of
Governor Colquitt of Georgia. got Mr.. Smith
to cash check, which afterward proved
worthless, for SITS.
A CRIMINAL CAREER.
When arrested on this charge he was iden-
titled by E. w. Crowell of the Phoenix In
surance company Of New York as a man
who, on February 10, 1882, had represented
himself as a member of the White family Of
Greenville, South Carolina, with whom Mr..
Crowell was very well acquainted. 1t was
after banking hours and Moses, saying that
he was short Of money, got Mr. Crowell to
cash bogus check for $780, Two weeks
afterward he swindled H. Fl. Stuart, of 81
Wall street, New York, out Of 500 on a
worthless check and the representation that
he was Gen. Curtis, state commissioner of
South Carolina. B. II. Hasell, agent in this
city for the Charleston Steamship company
at this time sent letter to Inspector Byrnes,
saying that the swindler had been in Boston
also. A worthless check for $500 had been
cashed by Mr.. Hasell, who was under the inn
preston that Moses was wealthy south
e1n planter. Moses also went to a
member of the firm of W. r. Grace & Co.,
and endeavored to pass himself off as Mr..
Prince, of Lynn, Mass, and nearly succeeded
in getting a check cashed. Mr.. Flint the
partner, sent telegram to Lynn, and the re-
ply proved that the Mr.. Prince, alias Moses,
was fraud and he was hustled out of the
office. Moses is a most accomplished swindler
The men to whom he has applied for money
with success have been well yersed in bust
ness matters, and most of them have reputa-
lions for sagacity in their dealings with
others. To swindle such men requires some
thing more than ordinary talent for roguery
Moses is about SO years DID, tall and we'll
formed, with gray hair and mustache and
regular features. On the charge of swindling
Nathan Bozeman, of 265 Fifth avenue, New
York, out of S32 on February 16, 1882, he was
sentenced to the penitentiary at New York
for six months. His recent arrest in Chicago
is still fresh in the minds of readers, and his
early return to Boston is looked forward to
by his victims with pleasant anticipations.

Reply TO the Santa Fe.

The Manager of the Atchison, Topeka q
Santa Fe Railroad recently addressed
letter to the Railroad Commissioners, In
which he asked if the late decision OF tne
Board sin respect to the distant tariH
schedule makes the rates therein prescribed
bear upon mileage of the company's auxli-
larry systems, as well as the Atchlson,
Topeka & Santa Fe." Briefly stated, the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe wanted
to know ''whether in computing
rates upon the distance tariff cover
ing distance, part of which is upon
branch or auxiliary line and part upon the
company's main line, the rate is to be COM
puted for two distances or only for one"
To illustrate, the distance from Topeka to
Florence is JOG miles, with an auxiliary
line running from Florence to Eldorado,
distance of thirty miles, making total
distance from Topeka to Eldorado OF l5o
miles. The company wished to know
if in constituting the law the Board
considered that the distance tariff made
would give rate for 1876 miles only, or
would the railroad be entitled to rate for
JOG miles on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railroad, and rate for thirty miles on
the Florence, Eldorado & Walnut Valley
Railroad. The reply of the Commissioners
was that ''the rate should be one in such
case for 1876 miles only, and not two rates for
100 and 30 miles respectively. The two lines
named are operated by the same company,
the service performed is one continual SER
vice for the whole distance, the haul is for
one hundred and thirty-six miles, and the
earning for the whole service goes indis
criminately into the common treasury"

The RehearIng Decision.

The Railroad Commissioners recently
made their decision upon the petition of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad for
4 rehearing of the cases of Usage City,
Great Bend and Newton against the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fee Company, made
On January 1, in which the railroad claimed
that the decision was not legal because
made only by two members; that it sought
to regulate Interstate commerce, and is,
therefore, excessive of lawful authority:
that it was in violation of the chartered
rights of the company; that it was based
upon a mistake as to the cOmpany'S rev.
enue, and several other mistakes, stated,
as to the company's revenue; that the tariff
rates fixed were unjust to the company and
the people of the State; that the standard
of tariffs in Illinois was not fair basis for
Kansas, and that the decision seeks to COM
pei the Santa Fe to fix rates over its own
line and the Leavenworth, Topeka &
Southwestern Railroad, which is not
owned by the respondent COM
pany. As to the plea that
the decision sis in violation of the
chartered rights and privileges of the COM
pany." the Commissioners say: "Unques-
tionably the power to fix rates for the
transportation of persons and property is
Thy law] vested in the company, but the
act does not by its terms, nor yet by any
fair implication, vest that power exclu-
sively in the company. The State may, it
has been decided, stipulate in the act con-
ferring corporate powers and privileges
upon a company, in consideration Of pub
Iia oil 70 ha 4ha
operation of the company's works, that
such company shall possess exclusive
power to establish and regulate its own
rates and charges for its services. But the
fact that the Government intended to re-
linquish to the company all of its power of
regulation and control in respect to such
matters is never presumed; but the rule
clearly established and firmly adhered to,
casts all the prescriptions the other way.
The power to establish and regulate tolls
for the use of the public highways is a SOW
ereign power, and in this respect at least
railroads are held to be such, and the
State is never held to have abdicated any
portion of this power in favor of corpora
tions, unless the purpose to do so is clearly
expressed in the public law. Besides, the
powers of the corporation are vested in
Board of Directors who are empowered to
exercise the same. In the absence of any
statutory regulation of rates, either di-
rectly or indirectly through some statutory
medium, as Board of Commissioners. the
power to fix rates is exercised by, or de-
rived from, the Board of Directors. In con-
temptation of law, the fixing of rates when
done by the company is a regulation estab-
lished by the Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors have the power to estab-
lish bylaws, regulations, etc, for the
conduct of the business of the company;
provided they are not inconsistent with
she laws of the United States or of this State.
In other words, the company has
the power to fix rates upon its road for
transportation services so long as the State

sons, growing out of wise and Just public
policy, for the establishment of distance
tariff rates as low as can reasonably be
afforded. 1t tends to build up and encour-
age manufacturing and other business en-.
terprises within the State. The rail-
roads operating here derive their chief
substance and support from the productive
industries of the people of the State. In
the building of large number of the rail-
roads of the State, the people have directly
contributed aid in lavish manner. 1t is.
therefore, in the highest degree unjust to
maintain through and distance rates so dis
proportioned as to repress the industrial
development of State whose people have
made the railroad systems within it strong,
and throw the greatbulk ofindustrial wealth
into another State" In regard to coal
shipped from the Usage mines, the Com
missioners were not prepared to reach a
satisfactory conclusion. Additional evil
dence was being examined and a decision
would soon be reached. The rates pre-
scribed are not intended to supersede spe-
cial tariffs or rates on live stock. coal.
stone, hay and emigrants' outfit, when
such special tariffs provide rates below
those fixed by the Commissioners. The
Board expressed the opinion that all such
special tariffs, when alike to all, where the
conditions and circumstances are similar.
are in conflict with no law of the State,
nor in contravention of just rules of Nusi-
ness which should cover the conduct of
railroad affairs. For the purpose of afford
ing sufficient time to the respondent COM
. ,l,A-s 7.
cordance with this decision the time is ex-
tended twenty days from January 80 for
the taking effect of the new rates, unless
for good cause shown it shall appear that
this time is insufficient.
