The INTERSTATE COMMERCE
BnL.-The Interstate Commerce
bill which has occupied the atten-
ton of Congress so much heretofore
is up again, and Judging from the
tone Of tie speeches made on it
there is prospect of it going over
as unfinished business when Con-
gress adiourns next summer. It is
among the bills that are utilized to
hang up an unlimited number Of
speeches, and for this reason it is a
convenient thing to have around.
Whenever a members constituents
begin to growl about not seeing his
name in the proceedings he calls up
this bill and makes speech on it
to empty benches; but it is pub
lished in full, which reneWs his lease
of political life.
This is the treatment OF that I'M
portant subject accorded to it by
the practical politicians, who see in
it only an opportunity to make cap
ital by giving it a perfunctory sup
port. Some day, however, the peo-
pie will show a temper on the regu-
fation Of railways and the proven
ton of determinations, which will
recognize the difference between
pretending to support a reform and
going to work earnestly to effect it.
The Congressman will then do
something besides making speeches
on railway regulation, or they will
retire to private life.-Pittsburg
Dispatch.

The States Leyee Policy.

The signals of alarm which have
already been sounded from above
indicate that the levee policy of the
State administration is inadequate
for the proper performance Of the
work required to be done, and that
failure which, under the circum-
stances would be peculiarly disas-
trous, stares the Governor in the
face. IL the reports of danger re-
ceived from East Carroll, Madison,
Pointe Coupee and other parishes
be not exaggerated, the people
along the upper river banks will be
more indebted for their safety to the
sudden cold snap that has checked,
temporarily, the onrush Of water
than to the precautions which have
been taken and the protective work
which has been done by the local
operators.
Act No. IS, of the last session,
approved July 10, 1884, placed the
work in the hands of two contrac-
tors, S. Z. James and John McGin-
ty, with whom the Governor and
State Board of Engineers were au-
thorized to contract for the con-
struction of all the levees ordered by
the Engineers at the following
prices: For not exceeding 5 feet
high, Is cents per cubic yard; from
5 to Z feet, Is cents F; from Z to 10.
feet, 20 cents 10 to Ia feet, %
cents, and for levees exceeding IA
feet high, "a cents. The work is to
be approved by at least two or three
citizens which the act authorizes the
presidents of the police juries Of the
several parishes to appoint as "local
inspectors" and the Board of En-
gineers is forbidden to allow bills
for any work done which is not first
so approved by the local inspectors
and duly accepted by the State en-
gineers.
In limiting the leyee work to two
men, and imposing upon the Gov
ernor and engineers the necessity Of
accepting them as the sole contrae-
tors, the Legislature not only took
upon itself a grave responsibility,
but likewise imposed one upon the
Governor. The latter, however,
seems to have accepted it with alac-
rity, as he promptly approved the
act. In this manner was created a
levee monopoly, to be enjoyed os-
tensibly by two men, to whom the
riparian planters can alone look for
the protection Of their property.
The result is not by any means
satisfactory. Of the 1,263,000 Gu
bic yards which the Board of En-
gineers has ordered, only 277,OO0
yards have been certified as built
about twenty per cent. All the
rest being in an unfinished condi-
ton, leaves the State in about as
unfortunate fix as though nothing
at all had been done. In some
places, according to the reports, a
rise of but a very few feet more will
enable the waters to pour over the
embankment the workmen will be
driven off, and there will be nothing
for it but to await the fall of the
river next summer. City Item.

The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1885-12-03

A Continental newspaper gives an in
teresting account of three sledges be-
longing to the King of Bavaria, which
are employed by him in his night ex-
cursion during the winter in the Ba-
varian highlands. One is magnif-
cent vehicle, of colossal dimensions,
capable of being used either as car.
riage or sledge and quite too large for
transport by rail. 1t is closed vehi-
Gle, most richly gilt and upholstered in
blue velvet. A group of genii sup
port a sort of canopy composed of
golden crowns. The others are smaller,
designed by Munich artists in the
Louis Quatorze style. The ornamental
tion is so profuse that only three small
spaces were left on the panels, which
have been filled by delicate mythology
cal pictures painted by Won Pechmann,
of Munich. The front of the oldest
sledge, which is, however, only twelve
years old), is formed by gigantic
shell, supported by Tritons, while lit
tie Cupids, seated on its edge, carry
back wreaths to the royal occupant.
The sledges are drawn by four horses,
having postillions. 1t will easily be
understood that such beautiful and
delicate pieces Of workmanship must
suffer considerably in their night drives
over rough mountain roads, covered
with deep ice and snow. And so they
have to be sent regularly to Munich
every summer for repair. On the last
occasion it was the wish of the King
that they should be all fitted with the
electric light But this was not possi-
bic in the case of the largest sledge.
for the want OF means to place a sulfi-
cient amount Of accumulators. 1t is
strange fancy that forbids all ordin-
ary eyes to see these remarkable vehi-
cles, which are reserved to dazzle the
peasants of the Bayarrian Alps as they
flash past in the late winter nights
like some of the phantoms of GermaD
legends. .-Sunday Times.

London. A very interesting account
of that active amusement is given, but
it is scarcely fair to distinguish it as
if other games were historically want.
ing. Many of our outdoor and in
door sports have been handed down
through centuries with but little va
ration, showing the impress of time
less than language itself. To investi-
gate their changes it is necessary to
study the mythology and customs as
well as the civil history of nations.
The chronicler of Hop Scotch consid-
ers that it signifies the passage of the
soul from earth to heaven. In Roman
times the player hopped through "A
labyrinth. but after the introduction of
Christianity the shape became that of
the church or Basilicon. The divi
sions were made seven in number to
agree with the courts of heaven, para,
disc being the highest.
