RAILROAD COMMISSION DECISION.

The decision OF the Supreme court 10 the
Railroad Commission case is that it is admitted
by the State upon the pleadings that the Pensa-
cola and Atlantic Railroad Company can not
pay the expenses oil operating it's road at the
Commission rates, and this being so. the result
is that the use of the road will be taken for the
public, without just compensatiOn-if the road is
compelled to run on these terms and its value
be destroyed if it is prevented from running
by not being permitted to charge enough
to pay expenses. Whether, as matter of fact
the Commission rates will pay operating ex-
penses, is NOT decided, the Court holding that
this may be inquired into on the trial Of the
cases after the issues are made up in the Circuit
Court.
1t is also held that where the Commission
rates are such as intelligent opinion may differ
as TO their being remuneraiive, the courts can
not interfere, but the rates must be tried by the
roads,
The other points decided will be seen in the
head notes of The case, printed in this issue Of
the FLORIDIAN.
The opinion was ordered printed by the Leg
islature, and it gives very general satisfaction
among lhos competent to judge of its real i'm
port.

ArbOr Day,

We have adverted several times re-
Gently 10 the ACCESSIBILITY of making a
public school holiday of "Arbor Day"
because we believe 1t is no less good
policy in Maryland than in other states,
to cultivate popular taste for arborcul-
ture, as well as to educate public senti
ment as to the value and usefulness of
trees generally. Twenty six of the
states of the Union observe arbor day
as a state festival and an occasion for
tree planting. The custom is one sane
toned by a wise public policy and
should command universal respect. We
are glad therefore that Prof. M. A.
Newell, has authorized the schools OF
the state to take holiday on April 10
and celebrate the day by planting trees.
A circular has been issued giving timely
suggestions to teachers in regard to
exercises appropriate to the occasion,
and it is likely that the schools will
cordially respond and enter upon the
new observance with the enthusiasm
which it deserves.
1t may be, says contemporary, many
years before the State of Maryland will
suffer materially from the humiliation
of her forests, yet they are rapidly pass
ing away, and the time is not far dis
tant when woodlands will have to be
planted to supply the need for wood
and lumber. But even now there Is

Bishop Lyman Discovers That They are IA
Remedy for Insomnia.
Under date of Raleigh, March 10, Rev.
DR.. Theodore B. Lyman, Episcopal Bishop
of North Carolina, has written the toll
lowing letter TO the Raleigh Duly Neos
and Courier:
Il think | have made very valuable
discovery, and am anxious that others
should also enjoy the benefit of it. For
nearly two years | have been suffering
greatly from sleeplessness at night, and
frequently have not been able to sleep
more than one or two hours during the
night. | have tried great number OF
proposed remedies, some of which have
helped me little, but not for any leng tn
of time. A little more than "a fortnight
ago, while staying at the house of a friend
in the country, my good hostess brought
into the Darlor, quite late in the evening
a bountliul supply of freshly roasted
peanuts. As | am very fond of them.
when they are not too much cooked, | ate
quite freely of them, and SOON after re
tired to bed. | found the next morning
that had enjoyed the best sleep | had
experienced tor over "a month. | attrlb-
uted this at once to the peanuts, and
determined to try them again the follow
ing evening l did so, and also drank
glass of fresh, sweet milk alter | had
finished the peanuts That night | slept
still better, and now, for a fortnight, l
have partaken OF the peanuts and the
milk every night, and have not only slept
remarkably well, but have also fully re
covered from slight attack of indiges-
Jion which Lad troubled NE before now
find that peanuts, carefully roasted and
not oyerdone, SO as to be at Ill burnt, are

ELKTON, MARCH 80, 1889.

We call the attention OF the humane
and charltably disposed to the recon-
mendations contained in the closing
paragraph of the report of the Grand
Jury. Two very aged and helpless old
women. need the helping hand of others
of their sex in some trlfing donations,
which would very materially contribute
to their comfort. TheiE condition is
no reflection upon the management Of
the asylum, but is simply one appealing
to the sympathy OF women. Is not this
work directly in the line o! the w. c.
7. u? 1t at least Is an appeal 10 the
sympathy of all, and charity draws nc
distinctions of sex or condition.

surely a remedy for sleeplessness and also
for that form of indigestion which is one
of the producing causes of sleeplessness.
There is popular impression that
peanuts are indigestible, but have never
found them so, unless they were too much
roasted, or had been roasted many days
before. Whom too much cooked, or when
stale, they certainly are indigestible, but
when carefully roasted and fresh they
promote digestion. They should be eateu
shortly before going to bed, and not more
than halt pint should be taken. They
should be roasted before they are shelled
and shelled only as they are eaten. A
half pint of sheled nuts would be too
many. | commend this remedy, with
great contideuce. to those who are atf1ict-
ed with insomnia, particularly if indiges-
ton is in part the cause of it. The peanut
is very valuable article of food when
carefully roasted and partaken of in mod
Grafton. | hope none OF my readers will
imagine that have started a peanut farm
and am wishing to create boom in tina,
article, but | shall be rejoiced if what
| have written should be the means of be
slowing on any others the great benefit
which have derived from this simple
agency"

The diplomatic appointments made
this week by President Harrison will be
generally approved. Excellent ap-
pointments all OF them" is the popular
verdict. The honored son of honest
Abe Lincoln appointed Minister to
England is a particularly happy selec
ton sentimentally viewed, and on its
merits no less commemorate because
personally "Bob" Lincoln is worthy of
the honor.
Murat Halstead and Thorndyke
Rice, the former at Berlin, and the lat
ter at St. Petersburg, are the highest
opponents of cultivated and refined
American journalism.
The other nominations include Pat.
rick Egan, of Nebraska, as Minister to
Chill Thomas Ryan, of Kansas, to
Mexico !; John Hicks, of Wisconsin, 10
Peru, and George R. Loring, of Mas
sachusetls, to Portugal. All these are
new in the diplomatic field. but that
circumstance does not argue their I'M
fitness. The deliberation exercised by
President Harrison in his foreign ap-
polntments indicates his carefulness and
caution, and each appointee has doubt
less been wisely selected with sole
view to his qualification for the place
awarded him.

Baltimore has been afforded an op-
portunity to take progressive step in
educational matters through the ordi-
nance offered in its City Council on
Monday night last by Mr.. Stabler for the
creation of a new Board of School
Commissioners three of whom are to be
women. The ordinance may meet with
some opposition, but the effective edu-
cational work beng done by Miss
Peabody in Boston, Miss Dodge and
Mrs. Agnew in New York, can be done
by equally gifted and capable women in
Maryland. In Baltimore women will
do excellent work If they do nothing
more than keep politics out of the
school management of that city.
