There is little Italian fruit seller il
Wortl, street, who seems to have solved
the problem Of what to do with banan;
peel. He has his stand in front of a biz
dry goods store and is required to keel
the neighborhood clean. All fruit skim
are carefully gathered up, but his grca
achievement is tho discovery that the
average truck horse is a receptacle fol
banana peel.
Truck horses are numerous in this 10
cality, and whenever one comes to an
Choir the Italians little daughter feed:
him or the accumulated Feelings The
little girl enjoys it, the Italian smiles Al
his own wisdom, and the horse accepts
the meal conplacertly.
A News reporter recently made it :;
point to feed the skins to horses by the
wayside, and they all liked them, There
is, consequently, no longer any ,justifica
ton for the throwing Of them on the
streets as traps f1r the unwary.--New

UNCONSTITUTIONAL MEAT
LAWS.

MlllieapOlls tribune: The last
legislature of Indiana enacted a law
prohibiting the sale of fresh meat
within any of the counties of the
state unless the animal had been in
spected alive in the county where the
meat was to be offered for sale. An
agent Of one of the Chicago packers
was arrested at Hammond for violat-
ing the law. He did not deny the
facts charged against him, but con-
tended that the law was unconstitu-
tional. The case was taken before
Judge ". Johnston, Of the Porter
circuit court, on a writ of habeas cor
pus recently and was decided against
the state. :. In his decision Judge
Johnston says that the statute amounts
to prohibition against the introduce
ton into the state, for consumption,
of all dressed fresh meats, and is,
therefore, unconstitutional. When
ever any article has begun to move as
an article of trade from one state to
another, commerce in that commodi-
ty between the states has begun, or,
III other words, it has become All ar
tcle of Interstate commerce, with the
free exchange of which state authori-
ties cannot interfere. He holds
that the police power Of state can.
not be exercised over a subject CON
fined exclusively to congress by the
federal jurisdiction; whatever may be
the nature and reach of this power, it
cannot invade the don,ain of the ma
tional government. The act under
consideration, though ostensibly
enacted as measure for the protec-
ton Of the public health, in the iudg-
ment of the court uverstepped the
boundaries OF the police power, be-
cause it made no distinction between
tile good andsthe bad, but condemned
all foreign fresh meats, without dis
elimination. \ state has the right
to exclude injurious meats, and may
take such steps rs are necessary to
ascertain whether meat of1eretl for
sale is noxious Or sound. Meat unfit
for human food is non-commercial,
and its admission may be prohibited.
But a product which is pure and
harmless cannot he excluded. Is
statute pronouncing Judgment with
out a hearing AMI excluding meat in
advance and without examination to
ascertain its condition, Is clearly nm
constitutional, AMI as sneh void.
The court further argued tia, the
law was in conflict With sec. 2 arf. 4,
Of the federal constitution, which pn,-
vit!es that the citizens Of each state
shall he entitled to all the privileges
and in,,nunities Of The citixens,n The

WESTERN RAILROAD ECONOMIES.

It would not be surprising II this should prove
n wear Of numerous railway strikes. Not few
railroad managers are beginning TO consider
the matter seriously. because Of the economies
and curtailments which they have been making
on account Of the regulation OF charges. since
the existing difficulties are by many attributed
entirely 10 the Interstate Act, it is proper 70
remember that in several Of the States, and
particularly in Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska Min
nesota and Dakota, laws have been passed and
commissions created with large power, and
these commissions have established rates which
the companies declare onerous. They affirm
indeed, that the new rates compel them to re-
duce expenses largely in order to avoid BANK
ruptcy. So trains have been discontinued that
do not pay more than their cost, the service
has been cut down as far as possible in shops
and at stations, on tracks and trains, ninety
men are said TO have been discharged at Chi
cago by the Burlington alone and the reduced
shop force Is working shorter hours.
All these measures Of cutailment are bitter
" denounced by shippers, business men and
travellers, and the people who have favored
the recent stringent laws affirm that the COM
NAMES are only doing all these things for the
PURPOSE of making the laws odious, and with
out any real necessity. In some cases it Il
possible that this is true but IL is at least equal
Nv possible that in other and perhaps more
numerous cases the new laws do threaten such
curtailment of revenue that heavy reduction oil
coCpenses in some form is forced upon the COM
panies To Judge Of the situation it is requisite
to consider, not the sanguine accounts OF pros
perty which are circulated by spectators, but
| the official returns of actual earnings and eX-
penditures last year. These prove that many
| of the railroads we're not in position to stand
any curtailment Of r9.es, and some OF then
were pushed dangerously near bankruptcy be-
| fore the latest changes Of rates were by law
| effected.
The economy now practised, whether in oil
cases compulsory or not, naturally gives offence
to the employees II many men are thrown out
Of work, all employees know that it must tenc
10 depress wages, and regard it as prepare
ton for O reduction. So far the railroad,
appear to have been anxious to avoit
any curtailment Of wages, because strikes
would be likely TO follow, but ii is {
| question whether the financial necessities o.
/ some companies may not render that form o.
economy no longer ayoidable. II some of tn
companies find the step necessary, others vii
be apt 10 join In ii for obvious reasons. Mean
while, the bitter feeling which recent legisla
ton has produced between many companie
and the public operates TO encourage the EN-
ployes, while politicians here and there ar
seeking favor by proposing still more sever
| legislation.
| Nor Is the situation in this region pleasing
10 business men. At great many point
throughout the Northwest there is bitter com
j plant that trade has been driven away, be

which will take place at the Metropolitan Opera
House this evening. the public rehearsal took place
yesterday afternoon. The affair wac ono OF most
delightful interest Mono of the music was atirsc-
tive on tho score of novelty but all oft was as bcaa-
tjful as it was familiar. Five compositions made up
the scheme, namely, Beethoven's overture to Cor
olsn' and fourth symphony, Chop!n's concerto fer
pianoforte in minor. with Tausis's addition, and
the Bacchanale from STannheuser and :" Kaiser
msrsch' by Wagner. The playing OF the orchestra
was splendidly muscular, precise and elegant and The
beautiful symphony gave keenest pleasure.

Mr. Joseffy alone was IN tho habit of commanding
