AustraIian Sheen.

1t is said that one sheep owner in
Australia owns about 400. 600 sheep, and
another about 100000. That is some
sheep. The land is generally hired
from the government at less than $3.50
mile. These tracts are called sheep
runs, and are from 260 to 1000 square
miles. The kangaroo is often great
pest to the wool grower. These ami
mails will sometimes appear in large
numbers and eat off the grass clean,
neceSsitating the removal of the sheep.
November and December are the shear
ing seasons. The fieeces average from
four to six pounds Of unwashed wool.
Except that an occasional severe dfouth
makes the wool jointed, it is of good
quality. The manufacturers in this
country will take it in preference to
American wool at the same price. be-
cause it is put up better Oh an average.

q Basis for Grain Rates.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-The managers of
the lines west of st. Paul were in ses-
sion here today, trying to agree on a
basis of grain rates to govern under the

Northern refuses to advance its rates on
merchandise, while the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul adheres to its mill
ing-in-transit rates, which are now on
the basis of "a cents. As the confer
ence did not promise to lead to salts
factory conclusion, committee of four
was appointed to devise plan for the
adjustment of the difficulty and to re-
port tomorrow afternoon.

SETTLED FOR GOOD.
The Decree of the Holy Office on
the knights of Labor Question

The Decree of the Holy Office on
the Knights of Labor Question
Favorable to the Organization.
NEW YORK, Sept. ia Rome cable
gram to the Catholic News announces
that decree of the holy Office on the
Knights of Labor question. favorable to
that organization, has been forwarded
to Cardinal Gibbons. 1t will be remem-
bered that in April, 1887, his holiness,
cOncurring with the ideas set forth in
the letter of Cardinal Gibbons in favor
of the knights, decided that there was
no cause for action. The pope al
so decided that in Canada, where
a mandamant had been issued
against the Knights of Labor,
the member of the order could receive
dissolution Oh promise of obedience to
future decisions of the holy see. The
matter having been placed before the
holy Office, this decree is the result. 1t
settles for good the question as far as
Rome is concerned, provided, of course,
that its constitution and aims of the
order remain the same.

AN EARLY POINTER.
A Move in Favor of Senator Allison as
the Next Republican Nominee.

~ think can give you pointer for 1892,
already" said an Iowa politician to STAR re-
porter. ''It is this: John N. Irwin, of Iowa,
who was governor of Idaho for eighteen months
under President Arthur's administration, has
secured a controlling interest in the Chicago
Times, and that paper will probably have con-
siderable influence in republican circles here
after. Irwin is warm friend of Senator Alli-
son and his paper will be ready to boom the
popular Iowan for the presidency when the
proper time comes"
but if Allison goes into the cabinet?" sug-
gested the reporter.
''He is not going to do So He doesn't want
to give up his Presidential chances by burying
himself in a cabinet Office. / don't mean to say
that there won't be an Iowa man in Gen. Har-
rison's cabinet. for / think John s. Clarkson
will be the Secretary of the Interior. Clarkson
has been a warm friend of Gen. Harrison for
many years. If Clarkson's health could have
stood the strain he would have been the chair
man of the republican national committee, and
would have been entitled to all the credit that
is now given to Senator Quay. l don't mean to
depreciate Quay's generalship. but / do
think that Clarkson would have handled affairs
fully as successfully. BY the way speaking of
Irwin" he added, ''although he held the office
of territorial governor for a year and half
he was only at his post for a month or So and
when the vouchers for his salary were sent him
he declined to take any money on the ground
that he had not rendered service for it. Con-
troller Lawrence covered the money into the
Treasury to the credit of the conscience fund.
which very naturally made Irwin mad, but
there 1t stands to-day"

THE INTERSTATE LAW.
Further Criticism of Western Railroad
Managers on its WORKINGS

CHICAGO, Dec. Pa number of additional
interviews with railroad managers on the inter-
state commerce law are printed to-day. Traffic
Manager Reeve, of the Chicago and Grand
Trunk road, says: For the past twelve months
l do not believe that the provisions of the inter-
state-commerce law have been properly
observed by many of these RAILWAYS. On the
contrary, they have resorted to various
schemes to evade the act such as under
billing, payment of commissions appointing
shippers as agents, &c. From the beginning
believed the law was a good one.
am OF the same opinion to-day, and although
l believe it could be amended so as to make il
more operative, l still think that if all
roads would strictly obey the present law it
would be far better for themselves and more
satisfactory to the commercial community at
large" Nice-President Bond, of the Chicago.
Milwaukee and st. Paul railway. wants the Sec
ton prohibiting pooling repealed. an amend
ment adopted requiring that like public notice
shall be given when rates are reduced as when
raised, and make such notice not less than
twenty days. The commission should have au-
thority to suspend such notice when necessary
to meet the competition of lines working
wholly or IN part by water or via Canada. He
also fayors an amendment prohibiting trans
portation contracts with shippers for a longer
period than fifteen DAYS
President Stickney, of the Chicago, Kansas
City and st. Paul railway wants a more vigor-
GUS administration of the law. 1t is, he saws,
fatally defective in one respect. The right to
control carries with it the duty to protect. No
government can rightful!y take away from the
individual the power of protecting himself
without at the same time extending the protec-
ton of the government The "act to regu-
late commerce" has, to a certain ex-
tent, recognized this principle. Before the
enactment it was customary where
company was forced by competition
or otherwise to accept less than the remu-
higher charge at intermediate points, and
where one company made predatory excur-
sions upon another to make reprisals in the
good old way. Self-protection in the manner
indicated is prohibited by the law, but the
law fails to extend any protection against a
competitive company making an unremunera-
tive rate and from making predatory excur-
sions into its neighbor's bailiwick

The fact that Congress has taken a recess
seemed to make no difference to the pilgrims

unusually large percentage of bridal couples.
Another popularity was noticeable in the at
tire of almost every one; it was sometimes
new gloves, sometimes scarf, often hat and
more frequently carefully displayed silk
handkerchief, but the great majority Of both
