STORIES BY MINISTER'S.
The late DR.. Bushnell used TO tell the follow
ing anecdote to show the influence of climate
upon the Judgment. As they were coming out
of church one drizzly Sunday, his wife re-
marked: "You would better burn that sermon;
it isn't worth repeating anywhere"
II shall do no such thing I answered, a little
vexed; ''the sermon is up to my average"
She persisted, and said little more. But .
wear or two afterward, on a bright, CHEEKY Sun
day in May-one of those days thatmake dis
course 90 off itself-I took that same sermon
arain And as we came down the aisle after
service, she whispered (without the slightest
notion that she had heard it before): ~ would
mark that TO preach In exchanges it is better
than common"
"A minister in q sermon before an association
recently related the following anecdote: "I
once had in my church speaking deacon who
was disposed TO take up more than his share of
the time at the prayer meeting. He came to be
great bore and spoiled good many meetings
not get up as usual and all felt that we were to
escape the inflctlon for that time. But 10, just
as was about to close up the meeting the
brother rose and began his customary rigma-
role by saying that as he was sitting there lis
tening to the brethren the devil whispered in
his ear that he should not speak that evening
After . time. however, another voice whis-
pered 60 him that he ought to speak word for
Jesus. In response to that voice must say .
word for the Master. After the usual long.
winded speech was constrained to say that
believed the devil was right"

ers. 1t can only enact laws that fall within
the limits prescribed by the Constitution. A
dictator like the Gar of Russia could sweep
the trust out of existence with scratch of
his pen. Our government however is a govern
ment Of limitations. But in this matter beside
the constitutional limitation another limita-
ton is imposed by the fact that many combin
atioIs cognate to the trust are so beneficial
that the people do not want them DESTROYED.
Indeed some of them are essential to the
general welfare. The problem then before
Congress is to devise some legislation inside
the Constitution which shall extinguish the
trust but at the same time shall not affect
other combinations which differs from the
trust chiefly in the extent of their ability.
Senator Sherman's bill. assuming it to be
constitutional. will undoubtedly prove eff
fectiye against the trust, but its killing pow
er will not stop there. All other combina.
tions for the purpose of raising prices or
wages, provided their component parts are
not confined to a single state, would perish
by it as well as the trust. The knights of
Labor could be suppressed by it. and SO prob
ably could the Federation of Labor and their
eight hour movement, though it was doubt
less not the Senator's intention to interfere
with either Of these organizations.

1t should be stated for the benefit of our
esteemed contemporary, the Argus, that our
school teachers are hired for certain sum
per year to do whatever amount of teaching
the committee may prescribe. If the COM
mittee should see fit to shorten the vacations,
as tits within their power to do, the teacher
would have no claim for extra compensation
on that account. For $500 per year the pri-
mary school teacher holds herself in readi-
ness to do whatever teaching in the primary
school the committee may determine upon.
If, for certain number of weeks, they see fit
to assign her no definite duties. that is their
arrangement, not hers. Her salary is paid her
every quarter, and she gets just as much at
the end of the quarter which contains sever
al weeks in which she has done no teaching
as at the end Of the quarter in which she has
taught all the time.

What are known as the Minnesota Granger
cases have just been decided by the Supreme
court Of the United States. The railroad
commission of that State undertook to pre-
scribe the maximum amount railroads
should charge for loading and unloading
cars. The roads objected to the rate fixed
on the ground that it compelled them to do
business at loss and therefore was in vic
lation of the clause of the constitution which
forbids the taking of private property with
out just compensation. The court has de-
cided in favor of the railroad on the ground
that as there was no provision for Judicial
decision of the reasonablepess of the COM
pensation it amounted to taking Of prop
erty without due process Of law and there
fore was violation of the constitution
This decision afirms no new principle Of
law, for 1t was long ago decided that tb,
control of legislatures over railroad corpora
tions did not go to the extent Of compelling
them to do business at loss. The legisla
