Although attempts to mine coal at the

with desire to investigate farther A
Portland paper tells of a lump weighing
about twenty-six pounds that recently was
washed up on Popham beach, and thinks
that Portland syndicate will make an
other effort this summer to find the source
whence these pieces have come for the last

The war is over; in fact, it has been over

There Is a limit.

The Supreme Court of Florida has rem
dered decision of vital Importance to
railroad corporations. The Board of Rail-
road Commissioners in 1887 fixed rates for
the Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad Com
pany, which the company asserted were
too lowto enable it to earn enough revenue
to pay its operating expenses, and it re-
fused to adopt the rates fixed by the Com
mission. The State brought suit against
the railroad to recover penalties, and OBJ
tanned a judgment in the lower Court for
several thousand dollars. The railroad
company appealed. The Supreme Court
now reverses the judgment of the lower
Court, holding that the reduction by the
Legislature or Commission of rates of a
railroad to point too low to permit it to
earn operating expenses is deprivation
of property without due process of law
and without just compensation, and is con-
fiscation and in conflict with the State and
Federal Constitutions. This is the first
decision of the kind by Court of last
resort

gone, throat liberated and a hacking cough

of Nevada leaves for the coast tomorrow,
going by ths way of New York and STOP
ping at Cleveland and Chicsgo. He will
visit his home at Gold Hill and then go di-
rectly to Santa Monica, where his family
are now located. Senator Jones has been
very industrious since the Senate adjourned
and has spent almost every day with the
President or one of the Cabinet officers in
the furtherance Of several projects he has
on hand. One OF the hardest tasks he had
was to secure the appointment of Whitcher
to be District Attorney of Nevada, which
was accomplished couple of days since.
Another matter tor which he has labored
with both the President and Secretary
Window has been to secure the reopening
of the mint st Carson City, which has been
closed for some time. He has also endeav-
ored to induce the President to order an
increased amount of silver coined monthly,
from the present amount, two millions per
month, to four millions. He has also had
several talks with Secretary Window re-
garding the establishment of the Inter-
nal Revenue District in Nevada. This
district was ore wiped out by the consoli-
dation made under the Forty ninth Con-
gress. The Senator has received some en-
enlargement upon all his propositions, and
has remained here hoping for some action,
but must Tow leave for the coast

the Her0id had complained of the lack of
recognition given TO German-American Re-
publicans. The President replied in SUBJ
stance that he was friendly toward the Ger
man-Americans, and desired to do them JUS
tice, as everybody would see. He had heard
of some dissatisfaction among them because
but few appointments so far had been made
from their ranks. He added that others
were also complaining, but that the public
would find no fault with the Administra-
ton for its slowness in making appoint
ments fit knew the difficulties in the way.
When person was recommended for APP

other persons who would insist that the
particular person should under no circum-
stances get that Office or that somebody
else should have it. He felt it his duty to
investigate every case closely and fairly be-
fore taking action. After a while every
body would see that his action was Just,
and he had no doubt that the German
Americans would soon be fully satisfied,
for he had no desire to slight or wrong
them.
