account of the development of some local boss system, and It's success ir managing the affair of city, until the Lord rained down fire and birthstone upon them. The people doubtless had very little to do with 1t.
 We should like to have some partic- ulars concerning the administration Of law in Sod0m. We know that ancient peoples were not without their judges and regular means of meting out jus tice. Sodom originally may have had fairly good courts, with zimple processes of lawcases not being continued with indefinite expense, nor the course of justice to its finish endangered by too many open switches, the keys Of which had fallen Into untrustworthy hands. Even in the latter days Of Sodom, before It's destruction. we need not suppose that primitive law had wholly failed, or that justice had become utterly vena1. An apple does not need to be 6ll llutten in order to spoil 1t for use.

THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW
IN A BAD WAY

When the Congress Of the United States
enacted the Interstate Commerce law
it violated the controlling principle which
caused the formation Of our Union at
the same time that it placed impediments
in the free and unrestricted movements
81 traffic and trade that are necessary
10 their healthy and normal development.
What contributed most potentially 10
induce the States Of this Union to aban-
don the slack-twisted confederation under
which they fought the war of the revo-
luton and to adopt our present con-
sttutiOn was the restrictions and en-
bargOes laid by one Of the States upon
free intercourse and traffic with another.
10 was TO cut these up, root and branch,
that the Constitution was principally
adopted. The intention was that inter
course and traffic between all parts Of
the United States should be as free and I'M
hampered as it can be between one square
foot Of land and the square foot next to
IT,. This freedom of intercourse is in
fringed on by the Interstate Commerce
act. Intercourse between the States, in
stead Of being perfectly free, must now
be upon the terms laid down by the
Interstate Commerce law, which is an
essential violation of the spirit of that
movement which prompted the organiza-
ton of the Union.
Congress was given power to regulate
commerce between the States that It
might break up and destroy all restric-
tions put upon its freedom by the States
and not that it might itself impose re-
strctions upon its absolute freedom.
And then, this unauthorized interfer-
ence with it's freedom has produced Just
the effect which was naturally to have
been expected We do not believe the
public has received any advantages from
this law, which offset the many disad-
yantages on account OF it, and we are
also sure that the railroads themselves
have had hardships and injuries imposed
upon them that were undeserved
We confess, therefore, that we have
taken but little interest in the tears that
have been shed over the decisions Of the
Federal courts that. it is claimed, have
practically emasculated this law The
Constitution Of the United States forbids
any law to be passed that will require
any one to criminate himself. The Inter
state law requires the employees Of the
railroads to give. 1.-THE testimony necessary
to show that the railroads violate it, and
1t exempts the witness from prosecution
on account Of anything he testines to.
But the Federal courts say that this is
not the equivalent OF the constitutional
immunity, and they pronounce that part
of the law void, which. its friends say,
destroys its efficacy. We shall not cry
If il does.

Now is the season for house dresses and
lounging gowns What a luxurious life
those Grecian damsels must have had
with the privilege of appearing in what
TO us would be a morning robe. No tight,
uncomfortable gowns for them, with their
whaleboLes and crinoline and other stiff
stuff.
Very nice, indeed. but would we return
TO il! Ask any sensible minded, fashion
able woman what she thinks about It,
and she will doubtless reply in the mega
tive, and give her reasons. one Of the
best of them is that women nowadays
cannot be bothered with draperies. be
they ever so classic. which impede their
progress i'm the pursuits Of life TO which
they are so rapidly adapting themselves
4 woman could not go through the busi-
ness quarters OF a great city I'm the garb
of an AntigOne or Penelope Some one
has written a play which porirays the
perturbation OF a lin de steele man who
brings an ancient Greek statue 10 life
and then awaits with fear and trembling
the impression which this terminated
but scantily draped figure Of clay will
make upon his wife.
\ few of us have attempted Grocian
costumes for evening wear. and a few
have been successful. but no such fash
ions have ever become general. The fact
is. the modern girl likes TO look trim
rather than willowy. Hence, even in the
dresses which she wears i'm the bosom
of her family she likes to have an alp
pearance Of being ready for action. in
gowns which she wears az home 10 re-
ceive visitors there is the same charac-
terstic emphasized. There may be frils
and fancy things on them which she
would not have on a street dress, but
otherwise they do not differ greatly from
outdoor gowns.
For instance. here is a young woman
in a dress with Il jacket which will not
be out Of place on the street i'm summer
time. The skirt has two hounces Of lace
on the bottom. with some bows as a finish.
The jacket has an added circular basque.
IL fastens with one button and turns back
in revers. which are faced with white.
4 circular cape collar Of the conventional
cut falls over the double pulled sleeves.
The surplice front is soft, pale. pink
garze. The only thing Grecian about this
maiden is her hair, which is done In
something like a Psyche knot. Other
wise she is deiciously modern.
