A recent decision OF Judge Gross-
cup In the U. s. District Court at
Chicago win be read with interest by
railroad customers and attorneys:
The court upheld General Freight
Agent James, of the Lake Shore road,
aud Gordon Mcleod, agent Of the
Merchants Dispatch Freight Line, In
refusing to answer questions put to
them by the grand jury. The ques-
tions were intended to draw out in
formation as to illegal cuts iu rates,
and both officials refused to answer
on the ground that the fiflh amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States gives every man the right to
refuse to make disclosures which will
eriminate himself.
on February IL, 1898, Congress
amended the interstate act with the
intention Of remedying the defect
pointed out In the law in the Supreme
Court decision In the Counselman case.
District Attorney Milchrist held that
the amended law was as broad as the
constitutional amendment IN that II
fully exempted witnesses from prose-
cution for anything they might dis
close, and asked for q rule to commit
the witnesses 10 jail for contempt II
they did not testify.
Judge Grosscup holds that Congress
did not aud can not pass an act ex-
empting anybody from the operation
of the constitutional amendments and
discharged the rule compelling Nc
Leod and James to testify.
District Attorney Milchrist said I:
al had no idea that the court would
decide against us. We now have no
way to compel witnesses to furnish
information
Attorney Stafford, who represents
the Interstate Commission, acknowl.
edged that tho decision cripples the
commission in so far as prosecutions
are concerned. "rhe cases hcre,n be
said, "will be dropped, but what the
commission will do cannot say"
John N. Jewett, who argued the
cases for the railroads, said @The
decision Is an able, just aud fearless
one. 1t did not surprise me-"
This decision presents an additional
illustration Of the bar which the Con-
stitution imposes upon the enforce
ment Of the Interstate Commerce
Act. No sooner does legislation seek
to evade one obstacle than others In
volving fundamental principles arise.
Such conflicts and perplexities come
necessarily through laws which pro.
pose to deal with conditions which
have arisen since the adoption Of the
Constitution, 10 which all laws must
conform.

PROVING a Happy Solution.

Judge w. +. Simrall, of Mississippi,
is in town. lie says of the workings
of the Mississippi constitution:
"I was q member of the constitu-
tional convention, aud fought hard
against the adoption of the UNDER
standing clause, as it was styled, which
Senator George SO strongly cham.
pioned. The clause in effect barred
from voting those citizens who were
unable to read the constitution, or
who could not give an intelligent In
depreciation of IL If read to them. l
am glad to say the fears as to this ar
tiele were not well founded. The new
organic law works well, aud forever
removes from our State politics all
embarrassing problems founded on
racial differences. The new regime is
by all odds preferable to unlimited
suffrage, and l look on 1t as happy
solution of question that formerly
was fraught with trouble and annoy
ance.' .'-Washington Post.

"Waco starts into the new year

Rotan. ''There were very few

other places, and the prospects

'94. Waco stocks nave suffered no
shrinkage, and are worth as much
today as they were year ago
While there has been, perhaps,
some shrinksge in the values in
suburban property, there has been
none in inside city property, and
the price of farm lands has contin-
ually increased. There is little, if
any inquiry for city property now,
but for farms there is a great dea!

be great deal of selling done
during the year. A thickly settled

HEAVY NEWSPAPER MEN.
The Members OF the Texas Press As
ISOLATION Meeting in Waco.

The heavyweights of the news
paper business in Texas are in Waco
today.
They are r. G. Lowe, of the
Galveston-Dallas News; e. g.
Senter, of the Fort Worth Gazette /;
r.. M. johnson and j. l.. Watson,
of the Houston Post, Peyton
Brown, of the Austin Statesman;
Frank Grice, of the San Antonio
Express.
These gentlemen, with A. r..
McCollum, of the Waco Day.Globe,
have been holding a meeting in the
rooms Of the 7. p. A. to consider
the business of the Texas Press AS
ISOLATION, of which their papers are
members.
The meeting was private, as is
the nature of the business trans.
acted, but the gentlemen themselves
are quasi public characters, and
their presence here is matter of
congratulation to the city, for of
such is the kingdom of brains.
These gentlemen, since finishing
their business, have been looking
about over the city, and express
themselves as surprised and pleased
with the evidences of progress
noted.
Some Of tn ,m tried the effect of
hot artesian water on Democratic
cuticle, and declared that the appli.
cation strengthened them in the
faith; Others were content with in
ward trials, though careful, per.
haps, to precede it with a proper
amount of the preventive of any
possible bad effects. They also de.
clared that, properly diluted, it was
an excellent bracer of the true
Democratic spirit.
The only regrettable feature of the
visit of these hexers out and finish
ers-up of public opinion is that their
stay will he all too short, as most Of
them will return home this evening
and tonight.

Other Court Notes.

Josie Tuinlin, a we'll known negro
character, who was arrested by the
police several days ago and has been
in the calabooss ever since, was ad.
judged insane and will be taken to
Terrell. Her malady is of violent
Tyre. While in the calaboose last
year, without any provooation, she
violently assaulted another negro
inmate by striking her over the head
with an iron bar. Later, she has
manifested a mania for divesting
herself of her clothing regardless of
place Or surroundings.
