DECISION AGAINST The CITY.
Municipal Authorities Cannot Fix the
Price of Gas.

Municipal Authorities Cannot Fix the
Price of Gas.
An important decision affecting the
authority Of cities to control and regu-
late corporations enjoying street fran
chises was rendered bv Judge Jackson
in the nited States circuit court, at
Cleveland, on the 18th. Some time
since the city council passed an
ordinance reducing the price of gas
from 81 to 80 cents a thousand. The
gas company went into the jnlted
states court and asked for relief in
equity, claiming that the proposed re-
duction meant virtual contiscation of
their rrope rty, which was contrary to
the clause OF the federal constitution
preventing the taking of property with
out due process of law. The city de-
INJURED on the ground that the feder-
al court had no jurisdiction. Judge
Jackson Oyerrulcd the demurrer and
granted an injunction against the city.
He held that the city had no right 10 iX

The so-called indeterminate sentence
act. passed by the last Michigan Iegisla
ture, under which convicted persons
might be sent to oprison for an indefinite
length Of time, depending on whether
the prison board thought they behaved
themselves well during Incarceration or
not, has been declared unconsti-
tutional by the supreme court OF the
STATE. The court says that it is in
contrayention to the organic law, III
that it conters judicial powers on the
board ot prison inspectors, and declares
that the unlimited power to retain or
discharge persons in prison is not only
unconstitutional, but Is wrong in theory
and dangerous in practice. The fact
that similar laws have been adopted in
other states is held to have no bearing
in favor OF the Michigan statute, the
reasoning by which the law was sus-
taiuej by the Ohio supreme court being
unsatisfactory 10 the Michigan tribunal.

It is an easy calculation, but there are
many obstacles in the way OF its ac-
COmplishment.
In the first place Michigan's electors
will not vote as unit. The Republic
ans will surely carry the electors at

they carried last fall, and the one they
have lust carried al a special election TO

Democratic congressman. In the Fifty
first Congress there were only two
Michigan districts represented by Dem
ocrats. ON the most liblr raj estimate
eight electoral votes out of fourteen is
all the Democrats can expect to obtain
in Michigan by their return TO the
ancient and obsolete custom Of selecting
electors by districts.
In the second place Massachusetts

ALBERT EDWARD.
Ills Tame at tha Duke of RlGhniondi
<or,trv Soo% So,na voa-s a~o


Country Seat Some Years Ago.
1t is not generally known that the
prince Of Wales breach of hospitality
in playing baccarat in defiance of the
express wishes of his host at Tranby
Croft was by no means his first otfense
against the laws of hospitality and also
of good taste, says the New York Re-
cort!er. He acted in very much the
same fashion some years ago at Good
wood, the country seat OF the duke OF
Richmond. Ever since his marriage
the prince of Wales has been in the
habit of visiting the duke during the
annual Goodwood races, with the prin-
cess and large party OF royal guests.
The duke of Richmond, who is now
an old man, is very independent OF
mind and possesses great force OF
character. His horror for gambling is
well known, and when, q few years
ago, the princes taste for baccarat be-
came the talk of London, the duke, or
the occasion of the heir apparent's next
visit, told him of his aversion to games
of hazard, and cxactcd u pledge from
nim that under no circumstances shoull
baccarat be played during his stay.
The duke makes an invariable rule o1
retiring every night punctually at ter
o'clock, no matter who Is present, and
confiding in the promise Of the prince
although it had been somewhat reluct
antly given, the old peer went quietly
to bed at his usual time. On the thirt
day of the races, however, the duke
who had as usual bidden his roya
guests good night at ten o'clock, hat
occasion to come downstairs ag I
about an hour later.
His horror and Indignation may b.
better understood than described a
finding the whole royal party seatet
around table in the library urd play
ing baccarat for very high stakes, will
the prince of Wales acting as banie;
SO great was the dukes wrath that l..
openly protested to the prince agains
the way in which his confidence ha'
been betrayed, the latter presenting bu
sorry spectacle during this a1garade
for he could lind no good excuse for hi
extraordinary behavior.
The card party was broken up i,
great confusion, and it was never re
suned during that or any of the subse
| ;ucut visits ct GooGwood.

Annoying Conductors.

Some horse car conductors in this
city have got the art of annoying the
patrons of the road down to a very
fine point. These men always enjoy
seeing a person running after car,
and they admire sprint-running so
much that they never do anything to
interfere with it. AS soon as the
breathless runner jumps on the rear
platform the conductor invariably pulls
the bell to signal the driver to go
ahead. Inasmuch as the driver is GO
ing ahead as fast as he can all the
while, the utility of this signal is one
of the mysteries of horse car riding in
this city. A young man who made a
hundred-yard dash to get on a Fourth
avenue car the other night watched
the conductor with his hand on the bell
rope all the while he was running.
The conductor also watched the run
ncr, and as soon as he had overtaken
the car pulled the bell as usual.
whats the use of pulling that bell
now?" asked the breathless person.
"Why didn't you pull it when you saw
me running?" "WelI," said the con.
ductor, II didn't see that there was any
use of my stopping the car when l
knew you could run fast enough to
catch it." His excuse was overpower.

killed out the plants or checked their
development. Proper ,inderdrains in
such places would convey off the water
and prevent the loss of plants.
But there is another great waste,
everywhere apparent even upon the
best cultivated farms, namely, the
waste from the growth of noxious
weeds. These rob the useful plants OF
necessary water and food, crowd them
out of their places, overshadow,
smother, suppress them. They are eni'
phatically robbers and should be OUT
lawed, ostracized, suppressed, extermi.
mated, annihilated. Why, the waste
upon the farm caused by robber weeds
is enough to account for all this depFes'
sion in agriculture of which we hear SO
much. Why, it is enough to account
for all this increase of farm mortgages
of which we read so much and which
artful politicians are SO ready to at
tribute to the measures OF their adj
versaries. No other business in the
country could endure such waste; it
would bankrupt all engaged in it.
Let us for moment consider the
names of some of the most aggressive,
most impudent of these robbers. There
is auack, thistles of several species,
notably Canada, dock of species, plan
tain of two kinds-narrowleaved the
worse daisy of species, Ox-eyed the
worst at present, charlock or wild
mustard, wild carrot and numerous
others. Is it surprising that after all
these robbers have had their chances at
the plant-food and moisture, the plants
from which the farmer expects to reap
his profit should fare so poorly?
Now, will farmers consider this prob
lem: Could you by proper cultivation
bring up the yield of every square rod
and square foot Of your fields to that
of the best square rod or square
foot, how much larger would be
the acreage yield of your crops?
After you have given that problem
sufficient consideration, take this: II
you should bring up the yield of the
best square rod of every field to its
highest possible capacity and the yield
of every other rod equally, how would
your yields of crops then compare with
your present yields?
The truth is and may as well be ac'
lxnowledged, the farmers of this coun
try possess too much land. They arc
everywhere applying the fertilizers, the
cultivation, the working capital required
for the cultivation of one acre to two
three, four acres. They are wasting
their capital and their energies on toe
much land, In the new era of agricul
ture soon to dawn, our farmers, taugh
by sad experience, are going to concen
trate their efforts. Southern Farm.
