FROM SWEET HOME.

Oregon again weeps for joy; she
sheds her tears profusely, which prog
nosticates plenty of grass, and if the
flow extends to the valley the farmers
will resume their work with the en-
ergy of determination exhibited by no
other class of people, in the face Of
present prices of grain, especially
wheat. The farmers certainty possess
all the patience of the mule and none
of his combative disposition. There
is one thing which manifests this dis
position very forcibly to me, and il is
this: A farmer will take 100 bushels
of wheat to the mill and take i'm ex-
change 1000 pounds of -four, or 10
pounds to the bushel. This leaves 20
pounds Of something for the grinding,
or one-third the weight while the
the statutes of Oregon allow milIers to
toll ene-eighth. To make it palmer,
he takes 10 bushels to get graham and
takes 40 pounds to the bushel, while
the toll should be one-eighth, or ~
pounds toll to the bushel, and so minus
u leaves J2l pounds fhe farmer is en-
titled TO, yet he gets only 40 pounds.
So here is clear steal of I2l pounds
eeff a5rslsaAl, ar 125 pounds on the 10
bushels of wheat, and this the miller
sellsat the same price as -four. Our
Legislators during the canvas Just be-
fare harsEest and the election, talked of
reforms. New should like to ask
these honorable men, what topic they
discussed which woald yield directly
one-tenth the afiEa0t henefit to the peo-
pie as this Grafn and flour question?
Shsfn we not have legislation on this
sHi5sGt? Cara the farmers raise wheat
and se2l it for from 30 to 20 cents per
bushel and then give away a clear

.af Ell she artificial distinctions
which stftain in civilized life, none
are more Gbssilute in their nature
or tyrannicag IN their effects, than
those which divide the poor from
the rich. Difference of condition
sends more to disturb the harmony
OF the social compact and to
smother the common sv-npaGhIes
OF mankind than anything else in
the world. It not only often sun
deTs the nearest and dearest ties of
relationship, but also perverts the
best feelings of our nature. and
thus becomes the fruitful source of
most of the social evils which af-
Malot humanity Few, compara-
lively, become possessed of great
wealth, and fewer still of the af-
fluent are found among the mag
nanimous almoners who delight to
minister to the necessities and NIT
lgate the su1crings of those in
actual want. It is proverbial that
the poor are the most generous, and
that the acquisition of wealth has
a direct tendency to make men sell
fssh and parsimonious. As a gem
eral rule, the opulent become Enope
and more the victims of heartless
lnsensibility to the claims of others
IN proportion as they indulge a
lavish prodigality upon self. It is
extranaaly mortifying to a we'll
formed spirit TO see itself consid-
cred an object of compassion; and
1t is the part of improved human
lty TO honor this pride in our ma
ture and to relieve the necessities
without offending the delicacy of
the distressed.

LATER.
Decided for the Railroad.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Tho su-
preme court to-day handed down two
decisions affecting the rights of railway
commissions to tax tariff rates for rail-
road companies. They are the celebra-
ted ''switching" and milk rate" cases
from Minnesota. The opinions are
alike, and reverse the state supreme
court decisions, which sustained the
action of the railroad commission in
fixing peremptory rates. The court
lays down the point that the railroad
company is entitled a judicial determi-
nation OF what is a reasonable and
equal" charge for transportation. The
opinions were rendered by Justice
Blatchford. In the switching case the
Eastern Minnesota railroad refused to
reduce its charge for switching cars in
Minneapolis from $3.50 to 81 per car as
ordered by the Minnesota commits
sion.
In the second case the commission
fixes 219 cents per gallon in ten-gallon
cans, as a just and reasonable compen-
sation for the transportation of milk
from Owatonna and Faribault to St.
Paul or Minneapolis, the former being
seventy-one and tho latter fifty-six
miles away from Minneapolis. The
railroad refused to comply with the
commissioners orders and contended
that the same rate for both distances
was unreasonable and contrary to the
statute of Minnesota. Justice Batch
ford delivered the opinion of the court,
and Justice Bradley delivered dissent
ing opinion in behalf of himself, JUS
tice Gray and Justice Lamar. Justice
Miller concurred in the conclusion
reached by the court, but did not fully
approve the opinion rendered.
