The interstate commerce law forbids
railways TO charge openly or by device any
one person greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the trauspor-
tation of passengers or property than it
charges for a like and contemDoraneOus
service. This is one thing that this law
fOTbids. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another. Why then patron

TRADE REVIEW.

Dun's Report Makes "A Good Showing of
Business for the First Half Year.
New YORK, June 30.-R. &. Dun & Co. in
their review OF trade say: The half year
closes with volume of business at this
date about 10 per cent. smaller than that OF
last year. but larger than that of previous
years. The general complaint that busI-
ness is dull means that the reaction from
the greater activity Of a year ago, and
from the confident expectations OF last
winter Is more keenly felt. To very many
traders who bought largely in their over
confidence, the shrlnkage brings serious
losses or actual embarrassment, and to this
cause is mainly due the increase noted dur
ing recent months in the number OF
failure. For the past quarter failures num-
Der 224l in the United States, against
LIS for the same quarter last year and in
Canada 343 against 3l5. In amount Of liza
bilities there is also an increase in the
United States of S29, ~, $50 against So. &c.
$50 last year, bat decrease in Canada of
s2,7Sl, ga against 81, POI. $50 last year.

PENSION VGTOES.
Synopsis of the Majority Report OF the

Pension Bills.

Synopsis of the Majority Report OF the
Senate Pensions Committee on Vetoed
Pension Bills
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Davis
yesterday submitted to the Senate the re-
port OF the ommlitee on Pension bills, the
merits of which the report discusses IN de-
tail, and the passage of which it urges, the
objections of the President notwitnstand-
ing. The more interesting and important
features of the report are embodled In
discussion CT the veto power and the
danger with which, in the opinion OF the
committee, its too frequent exercise IS
fraught. 1t says: ''SInce May S, 1886, 80
special acts granting pensions 10 indiVldu-
ais have been disapproved by the fresl-
dent. These dSapprovals were based, IN a
great majority of cases, upon the expressed
opinion of the President that Congress had
erred in Its judgment Upon mere ques-
tons of fact of course, it is impossible for
the President to examine the immense
mass of documentary evidence upon which
each case depends and which IS invariably
examined by the committee, and il follows
that when he disagrees with Congress
upon the question of fact in these cases his
Judgment must be based, not upon The
reports Of the committee, IN which the
facts are always stated with sufficient
fullness, but upon the report OF some
subordinate in the Bureau OF Pensions.
This bureau, whose action Congress has
reversed, is thus enabled to review the
action OF Congress by the express direction
of the President This method of consider
alton is an abridgment by the Executive OF
the exercise of the right OF Congress to
waive that strict proof which is required
in ordinary cases in the department. Usur-
pations move rapidly in Republics from
small objects to those of the greatest con
Germ. That the power exists in the Execu-
tive to dlsapprove any legislative measure
can not be denied, but the duty undeniably
also exists that it shall not be used In such
Il manner, or upon any occasion or pretext,
as to make it's exercise operate as an en-
croachment upon the powers Of other de-
pariments uf the Government The rlghtto
souse the power of Executive d sapproval as
to change The ordinary method OF Iegisia-
tive action by majority vote upon proper
subjects of legislation merely because the
executive differs from Congress upon the
sufficiency Of proof or the eNpediency OF
relief does not IN the opinion OF your com
mittee exist. Such mIscOnception CT the
extent of executive power, making it limit
less, is fraught with dangers TO lndcpeni-
ence and TO constitutional powers, and it
continually implies that factiOus or
usurping President vino proposes TO sub
ordinate to his will That departm 9nt TO
which the Constitution has coniided the
principal powers of government, may IN
rightfully do this and prevent the will OF
the people from taking statutory form ex-
cept by a two-thirds vote of each house of
Congress-

while hard at work. They are so pure
that the youngest, the Oldest, the most
delicate person of either sex can use them
with great benefit.
Beware of limitations, and do not be de-

SOME QUEER PETS.
Singular Creatures Which Formed Part of

Singular Creatures Which Formed Part of
an Army Oficer's Household.
Talking of pets" said Mrs. John S.
Loud, when We were stationed at
Fort Davis, in Texas, one of the Cap
tain's Mexicans came to the door one
day with something under his arm.
Madame, me got presento por Ia
mendo.'
't.'Qual?' l asked him, for he has a
dark parcel in each arm. What is
it?'
He placed & soft bundle of fur in my
arms and ran away laughing. 1t was
black bear cub a week old, and it
nestled up to me and purred like a kit
ten. | put it in the crib with Mabel.
my little daughter, and brought it up
on a bottle. We called her Nellie,
and she became the pet of the regi-
ment. She would come and look up
into my face and whine until took her
up, when she would hug and kiss me
and show every mark of affection. We
had Nellie until she was eight months
old. / was afraid to let her sleep in
the crib then, as she was fond of rolling
over, and was very heavy. At the last
we dared not keep her in the house.
One day she wound herself up in the
clothes line around post, and became
furious. She would not let the men go
near her, and the Captain ordered her
shot. We all felt sorry to lose her, but
were afraid of her.
Our next pet was an antelope that
was nursed and reared by goat. This
was a pretty. gentle thing, and We
kept it long time, but it finally went
the way of all pets. Then some of
the Mexicans captured wildcat. 1t
was only kitten and we raised it, but
its nature soon showed itself. 1t would
get into hammock under the roof and
hang there for hours, and no one would
dare to modest it. We had also a
family of gophers at one time. They
would make holes in the earth and bur-
row into them and we would drown
them out, but at last they disappeared.
Then we had California quail named
'Chula' (sweet) that was as tame as a
cat. When strangers came to the fort
she would come to me, and as soon as
| took her up she would hide her head
and be perfectly contented. She would
run in the chapparel all day, and at
night come into the house and sleep
under one of the beds.
''But the prettiest thing had said
Mrs. Loud with sigh of regret, twas
a Chihuahua dog, which when full
grown could sleep in the palm of my
hand. 1t only lived year, and when
it died we laid it in candy box, and
gave it a grave on the hillside. In
that country We pet every living thing
we can find, and amuse ourselves in
our lonely homes. Our last pet was
an armadillo. We used to watch him
rolling away after the curious manner
of his species, and that was the last
memory he left us, for one day he
rolled out of sight, and we never saw
him again. "-DetrOH Free Press.
