rHr vIoToRIoUs RAILROADS.

Two decisions which have just been
made show how hard it is to make laws
which railroad companies will feel bound
to observe when it is against their inter
est to observe them.
The Chicago railroad officials who were
indicted at the instigation of the inter
state commerce commission for favoring
large shippers with secret rebates have all
been discharged by the courts. They could
not be made to testify against themselves,
and there was no other substantial evil
dence, or was said not to be. Thus Is
vital part of the interstate law made void,
and If it cannot be enforced 1t might as
we'll be repealed.
The other decision is that made by the
United States circuit court at Topeka in
the case brought under the Antitrust law
against the Trans Missouri Freight associ-
alton. The Antitrust law prohibits con-
tracts, combinations and all forms of trusts
and conspiracies which impose restraint
upon trade and commerce among the sew
eral States, or with foreign nations, and
prohibits the establishment of monopolies
under criminal penalties and civil reme-
dies. The United States district attorney
who brought the suit argued that the es-
tablishment of the freight association was
violation of the Antitrust law; that 1t
was a restraint upon trade and an attempt
to monopolize the carrying business
west of the Missouri river, and that it
was a surrender by the railroads to the as
ISOLATION of their powers, rights and fran
chises. 1t was further argued that the
public was entitled to unrestrained com
petition between the railroads, and that
any combinations or agreements that pre-
vented it were in violation of the act. The
railroads argued that the freight associa
ton was not violation of the law because
1t was not trust in the sense In which
the word was used in the act. The wort
'trust, they urged, was used in the act IL
a popular sense, meaning combinations fo
the purpose of limiting supply, by whiol
commodities are acquired and controlled
The freight association, 1t was held
was of an entirely different nature. I
did not operate to restrain trade, and di'
not constitute q monopoly. The compa
MES also denied that they had surrendere
their rights, powers, privileges or franchise
to the association. 1t was further asserte
that the Sherman act was not intended t
apply and did not apply to common Cal
riers; that free and unlimited competitio
was never legal right; and that whe
competition is unrestrained it is destruc
i've of all public interests for 1t ends
destroying all weaker rivals, and in brini
ing about monopoly.
The Judge said the railroads were rigl
and that the Anti Trust law does not app
to them. This is q very important deci
ion, and if sustained will leave the raj
roads free to do what they may want to
in the way of combining.

elastic to keep them in position, and are
then sewn on to the lining. When sew
ing them on to the elastic the thread
must be out at every plest, 80 that they
shall not drag in front. The upper part
or the front breadth has not chest darts;
they are out out in the form shown in
our engraving. The front upper part,
therefore, forms a sort of jacket, which
is only closed by single hook. The
long pleats are attached to the front in
visibly, and are bordered by an embroi-
dered lace. Byzantine or Bulgarian lace
can be employed, but the embroidery
must be of wool.
The back of this costume has a wat
teau pleat gathered in at the neck and
falling quite loosely. Instead of this
pleat the back may also be cut quite
plainly in the ordinary princess style.
Enough material must be added in the
middle of the back to form this pleat. No
seams made in the middle and the lining
can be tight-ftting. Beneath the waist the
back and the round sides furnish enough
| length to form train. 1t is not absolute
| ly necessary that the pleat should form a
part of the material in the back; it may be
added on to it, aud then 1t must be sewn
| to it as far as the waist, from which point
downwards the stuff falls loosely. There
are tight fitting sleeves with great epsulets
trimmed with gold lace. Around the waist
a thick silk cord ia doubled, which Is tied
In front. This passes under the vatican
pleat, for which purpose two buttonholes
have been made In 1t. The bottom of the
cord is ornamented by passementerie stars
Materials: Four to five yards of wooler
material, five to six of silk and five Il
six of lace. FLoRKTTE.

Bishop John F. Hurst reports that the
plans for the great non-sectarian American
university at Washington are progressing
very satisfactorily. The 90 acres of land
at the capital, which have been bought and
paid for, have risen in value until the land
is now worth at least half a million. A
good beginning has also been made in
money subscriptions, and the bishop is
confident that enough of the SIC, 1000, 900
which it is proposed to raise will soon be in

the arguments most Ineligible to the
masses. AS an illustration may be cited a

the last presidential election QSSS). 1t

and bore only these three words: Rum,
Romanism, Rebellion. 1t WAS distributed
in large quantities on the Sunday preced-
ing the election, at the close of the church
services, posted on all the walls, showed
under all the doors. The election took
place on the following Tuesday, and that
card. thus issued at the last hour by the
Republican committee, under direction of
Mr.. Blaine, remaining for lack of time
without reply, rallied around the Republi

COMMUNICATIONS.
The silver Question.

Ahc SAlteT 0uebtIOhs
Tothe Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Your editorial on the propositions of
N. de Rothschild to the monetary confer
ence suggests the question-Why should
the American people any longer fool with
silveri It has become as clear as the day
that gold is in no sense a standard of
value. 1t is nothing but an arbitrary dis
honest appreciating unit of account. 1t
has increased m general purchasing power
nearly 80 per cent. In fifteen years. 1t
has already cost this country a thousand
millions in the debt paying power of Its
exports. 1t has defrauded in like manner
every people of the earth whose indebted
ness Is held In Europe. 1t has perpe-
trated the same injustice upon every in
dividusl who has owed debt to his
neighbor. Are we to consent that this
violation of the obligation of contracts
shall go on foreveri
Silver ia reasonable standard of value.
It's production being regulated by its value
1t maintains nearly uniform purchasing
power. France fixed the price of gold in
terms of silver for all the world at fifteen
and one-half to one and held it there for
seventy years, through all the spasmodic
productions of gold, until she was crushed
by war. How much longer shall we hesi-
tate to fix the price Of gold in terms of
and hold it stilll We have the
resources; We have the gold. We have
full power to end this crime against the
human race at one blow. How.much longer
shall we, hat in hand, go on begging the
conspirators who have foisted this dishon-
est measure of indebtedness upon the
world to desist from their purposei How
mcuh longer shall we allow great owners
of evidences of debt TO dictate the unit of
accounta The only remedy is the absolute,
free, unlimited, optional substitution of all
YER for gold, to perform the same function.
Silver is stable in value. Gold rises in
value. Therefore without free coinage of
silver to prevent its rise, gold is fraud.
Put the stable metal at the head of the
column and let the scanty and hsphazsrd
product tail in behind where 1t belongs.
Ours is the one nation governed by its
people; unhampered by its foreign poll
tics; not compelled to beg permission to
live of Jewish money lenders; abundantly
able to do this services to mankind.
How much longer shall we want for
those who have engineered this process to
tire of heaping up the proceeds of iti How
much longer shall we follow the wicked or
blind guides who are merely apostles Of
the gospel of perpetually falling prices OF
labor and all its products and of perpetual
ly increasing purchasing power of evi,
dences of debt! Let silver, the stable metal
by free coinage be made the efficient reg.
ulstor of the value of gold and of general
prices, as 1t was before this scheme OF
fraud or folly was Matched eighteen years
ago. We have no right to compromise
with this sin. f.

How Men Fall When Shot.

The manner in which men fall de-
pends also upon the nature of the
action in which they are engaged.
Nearly every one is familiar with the
traditional stage fall, where the victim
of a supposed dead-shot strikes an atti-
tude, clasps his hand to his heart, stiff
fens every joint and muscle, breathes
Historically, and goes down like log
toppled over from one end. Another
popular yet erroneous notion is that
men shot through the vitals leap into
the air and go down in dramatic atti.
tude Sometimes men are found on the
field in striking positions, but often an
examination shows that the position
was taken after the fall. AS rule, a
man who is hit above the hips goes
down. The slighter the wound the
more commotion, for the body instinct
lively resists, just as it does when one
slips or is pushed or collides with some
object. But wound in vital spot
wealSens the resistance, and men sink
at once, or reel and tumble with very
little self-control. - Popular Science
