TOPEKA. Kan, May 3-United States
Attorney j. w. Ady has filed his excep-
tions to the answers of the members OF the
Transmissouri Freight association to has
bill against them for violation of the
national antitrust law OF July 2. 1890.
In the answers filed by the members OF the
association it is alleged that the roads
operating in the Transmissouri association
are amenable to the interstate commerce
law, and that the law of July 2, 1880, does
not apply to them. To establish this claim
certain extracts from debates In congress
and certain rejected amendments TO the
law are cited The unofficial opinions of
attorneys gwen before the formation OF
the association are also quoted to show
that this association does not come under
the provisions of the antitrust law.
To this answer United States Attorney
Ady has filed the general exception that
the answer is Insufficient, incompetent
and irrelevant He alleges in his excep
tion that the debates on the law have no
weight in its.nterpretation; that the law is
TO be interpreted by the courts, and that
opinion of attorneys have no place IN
court. If the exception is sustained and
no new answer is filed a decree will be is
sued dissolving the association. If, how
ever, the exception is overruled, he VIII
have thirty days to file a reply to the
answer, after which ninety days are given
to take testimony in the case.
CHICAGO, May 3.-The rate on sixth
class freight from Chicago to the seaboard
will be reduced to 20 cents per 100 pounds.
1t was decided this evening that such a
course was unavoidable, in view OF the
reduction already made from St. Louis
and Peoria But this decision was only
reached after every possible chance of
meeting the situation in another way had
been put to the test and had failed.

1t is unfortunate that in an eloquent and
glowing speech upon Lincoln's birthday an
orator should have thought it necessary to
sneer at Wendell Phillips in order to point
his praise of Abraham Lincoln. Abiding
to Mr.. Phillips scathing arraignment of
President Lincoln's administration when
it seemed to drift, the speaker said, IF
may paraphrase famous saying, the
world will little note nor long remember
what Wendell Phillips said here; it can
never forget what Abraham Lincoln did
here"
The speaker is aware, of course, that
there was at times deep and general dis
content with what was felt to be the de-
lays of the Lincoln administration. Even
as late as August, 1864, after his second
nomination, Mr.. Greeley, Winter Davis
and many other eminent and patriotic Re
publicans demanded his withdrawal as an
unsatisfactory candidate Mr.. Sumner be-
sought Mr.. Lincoln TO move more rapidly,
and the wise president replied "Mr. Sum.
ner, am only six weeks behind you" The
feeling that be was too slow was not pecul-
lar to Mr.. Phillips. He was mistaken in
a goodly company, as the speaker himself
showed
Wendell Phillips said aloud and in star
tling tones to arrest attention. what others
were saying privately. But he and they
and Lincoln had the same great end at
heart. Phillips duty, like that of Samuel
Adams, was to arouse the public mind and
to express with force public discomfort.
He did it with the art of an orator; he did
it with what now seems injustice and with
too sweeping a generalization. But he
stimulated the public feeling which was
Indispensable to strengthen Lincoln to go
forward. Each in his own way honestly
served the good cause. Both were great
patriots.-Harper's Weekly

TIE CHEYENNE CHESTNUT.

KINeFIsHER, o. T., May 3.-Consider-
able excitement still exists over the ugly
attitude assumed by the Cheyenne Indians
towards the settlers on the lands recently
opened TO settlement. Governor Seav re-
CARDS the situation as serious enough 10

wanted TO give up their lands to the
whites, and now that they have been COM

the fact that the new town of Cheyenne is
building on the site of the burial ground
where the Indians killed in the battle

Devices for bringing this boy to a
sense of the material disadvantages of
wrongdoing have been tried, but his
uniformly happy disposition is proof
against the punitive influence of any of
them. If he is sent to bed early be-
cause he has so torn and soiled his
clothes as to be unpresentable in the
drawing room, he turns up the next
morning with beaming smile and some
remark about the delicious rest he has
had. IF his diet is reduced to plain
bread and water for the violation of a
rule of the table, he discovers without
the slightest hypocrisy, mind you-what
uncommonly fine bread the cook bakes,
and how much better water quenches
the thirst than milk or cambria tea.
If he is kept indoors because he has
abused a privilege of the yard or street,
he sets cheerfully about amusing him
self in the house, just as content appar-
emily to lie on his back for hour after
hour and indulge in day dreams as to do
anything else, and the chances are that
when it is all over his little voice will be
raised in praise Of the comforts of homes
in general and of his own in particular.
The only punishment he seems to dread
is a whipping. That has been resorted to
sparingly and always for some overt
and aggressive act which was wholly
without excuse; never for mere mat
ter of habit, however reprehensible.-

THE ILLINOIS SCHOOL LAW.

CHICAGO, MAY 3.-The Illinois confer
ence of the German Lutheran mission
synod today took important action on the
compulsory school law question. Resolu-
tions were adopted demanding the uncon-
ditional repeal of the Illinois law. The
resolutions declare:
Whereas, We can not attain this end
without the aid of one of the two great
political parties, but must unite all our
forces, even as one man, with one of these
parties, TO form power which the cleo
tion OF Henry Raab as state superintent
of schools shows controls the whole state.
Resolved, That we shall unanimously
support that party and its respective can
didates which unreservedly sustains as
TO the school law right principles. and
furnishes us, in regard TO the past as well
as to the future, the best guarantee for the
maintenance of the same The school
committee, in accordance with these reso-
lutions, shall examine into the platform,
and state of affairs of both political parties
and determine accordingly with which
party we shall vote"

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE,

OMAHA, May 3.-At today's session of
rhe Methodist general conference a new
dispute arose over the seating of delegates.
Some of the seats that had been set aside
for the lay delegates, who wished to be
seated apart from the mi nisters, had been
taken by ministerial delegates, and
heated discussion arose over the question
of compelling the ministers to vacate The
coveted seats were at the rear of the min
isters' section, and their occupants appar-
emily did not suppose that they were tres
passing on the lay territory. The entire
forenoon was taken up in discussion OF
the seating question, and it was not salts
factorily adjusted at the noon recess.
The afternoon session of the conference
was devoted to the hearing of the report of
the commission on constitution, appointed
four years ago, and the preliminary work
of appointing committees.
Among the things suggested by the COM
mission was a change in the arrangement
of the discipline. No material change was
recommended in the rules or in the word
ing of the discipline, but the commission
thought that the book could be arranged
10 much better advantage. The report
also suggested that the date for the open
ing or the general conference be fixed on
the first Wednesday in May every four
years, instead of the first day in May. 1t
also recommends that ministerial and lay
delegates vote together i'll the general con-
leTeICe Oh all q QuoSGlO0S except LlOSe IN
tended to make change in the organic
law of the church. The report also recon-
mended that no annual conference should
be organized with less than thirty travel
ing ministers, and that the concurrent
vote of three fourths OF the delegates of all
annual conferences shall be sufficient to
authorize the general conference TO make
changes in the organic law of the church.
Colonel John w. Ray, a member of the
commission, submitted minority report
differing il some respects from the major
lty report upon few points.
The reports were ordered printed and
will be taken up as a special order on next
Tuesday.
In addition to the usual standing COM
mittees, the conference decided to have
several special committees appointed. A
committee consisting of one from each
annual conference was appointed on tenn
perance and the overthrow of the liquor
traffic, and a committee of equal size was
appointed on the Epworth league
The discussion on these two subjects in
dicated that the conference is deeply in
terested in both, and radical action is
anticipated
The conference accepted the invitation
of the citizens of Lincoln and the president
of the Nebraska Wesleyan university to
visit Lincoln on May Z.
A great mass meeting will be held to-
night in the interest of church extension
work.

With frown on her brO8
And pout on her lips,
She seems sweeter far
Than most women are
Whose foreheads, vow,
Are smooth all the whiles
And who fairly eclipse
A saint with their smile;
With a frown on her brow
And pout on her lips!
With cold tears in her voice
And deep woe on her face,
She fascinates more
Than whole motley score
OF maids who rejoice
In the pleasures of earth.
Whose features show trace
But of laughter and mirth;
With cold tears in her voice,
And deep woe on her face,
