Tx reply to correspondent, THE GA
zETTE has not seen copy Of the full text
OF the conference interstate bill. 1t is
stated, however, that many Of the features
Of both Culom and Reagan's bills are re-
tained In the conference measure. The
penalties provided for in both bills are
retained in the conference bill. The com
mission provided for In the senate bill is
preserved, but shippers may elect TO pros
ecute for damages in the United States
courts on their own behalf, with the pro-
viso that they shall not have the right to
pursue their remedy in the courts and
through the commissi.n in the same case.
1t ia made unlawful for any railroad to
charge more for transportation of passen-
gers, or any kind Of property, under sub
stantially similar circumstances ana con.
ditions for shorter or for longer dis
lance over the same line and in the same
direction, the shorter being included
within the longer distance, with the pro-
viso that in special cases, upon applica-
ton by the railroads and after investlga-
tlon, the commission may prescribe the
extent to which such railroad shall be re-
lieved from the operation Of this section.
The companies are required to file with
the commissioners all joint tarlffs on
through rates 10 which they may be q
party, and the commission is required to
secure the publication of such through
rates as far as may be found practicable.

THE BEST WAY TO SPEND TT.

II the president Is 80 bent upon getting

lenses 1t might be more appropriate to
say building navy, for what we have is

to return the money to the taxpayers,
and the Democracy will hardly consent to
spending it on any scheme like the Blair
bill. Neither will It he wise to sppropri-
ate 1t wholesale to the erection of public
buildings, as is proposed in some quar-

coast cities. The present congress ought
to md time to do some thing in this way
without compelling the executive to call
an extra session. Tariff revision is ont

that the disposition of the surplus is a
measure as important as any likely to en-
gage the attention of the present session.
The Texas delegation, we are assured,
stand ready TO do their part in the good
work, That hundred millions is burning
Uncle Sans pockets, and ought to be
spent. i've the country a navy, and
when the Democratic party rises to the
full standard Of duty, it will take care,
by loweri g the customs duties, that
such surplus shall never more accumu-

was passed, and the prisoner said:

THAT sentence won't be changed

the justice.
"But there was alleverating and
extenerating circumstances in connec-
ton"
"Why didn't you state 'em before?"
"The court didn't give me no
chance"

How Detectives Obtain Pointers.

The story of an Indian who found q
white man lying dead in the woods
with a bullet hole in his forehead, is
one of the best illustrations of the
habit of observation which detec.
tive must cultivate. The Indian
came into the white settlement and
told the settlers his story: Found
white man dead in woods. Had hole
in his head. Short white man shot
him with long gun ramrod of gun
three inches beyond muzzle of gun.
Wore gray woolen coat. Had little
dog with short tail. Had waited
long while for dead man to come
along" "How do you know all this
Did you see =" was naturally de-
manded of the Indian. "Oh, yes me
saw; now show you" The settlers
visited the scene of the murder, and
the Indian showed them the spot where
the murderer had waited for his VIC
tim. He had set his gun against the
tree. 1t was a long one. because the
bark was slightly grazed high up,
and about three inches above the
mark left by the muzzle there was a
slight mark made by the ramrod,
showing that it projected three inches.

Solomonic Wisdom.

We came along t. cross-road in
Alabama where colored justice Of
the peace was about to open court
and it was proposed that we halt for
an hour or two and witness operations
The case to come on was between two
colored men, one of whom charged
the other with having stole a hoe
There were neither lawyers nor jury
but the judge called up the plaintiff
and said:
"Mr. Burrows, how many witnesses
have you got dat Mr.. Bunker stole
dat hoe 7"
"Two, sah."
"Mr. Bunker, how many witnesses
have you got dat you nebber took dat
hoe, nowhere 7"
"Fo', sah."
"Den | shall dismiss de case, an
M. Burrows mus pay de costs
Every one knows dat fo' witnesses kin
sw'ar harder dan two witnesses, an it
am no use gwine ahead to take up de
valuable time of dis court"
Mr.. Burrows paid about three dol
lars costs, and as he was going away
his Honor continued:
Next time you is gwine ter sue a
man you wants mo- witnesses dan he's
got or you are gwine to be left. Dis
court will now adjourn an go fishin'."

The man wore gray woolen coat, be-
cause where he leaned against the
tree little particles of gray threads
had been caught by the bark. There
was the place where the little dog sat
on his haunches-his stump tail left a
mark in the yielding soil. The mur.
derer was short, because when he re-
loaded his gun he set the butt a good
way from his feet. The trail he left
coming and going showed he was
white, because he turned his toes out.
Indians never did. The trail alsc
showed that the one coming to the
tree was older than the one going
away from thence the murderer
had waited.-New York Times.
