are maintained by the government at par with

That solyency would be in DANGER Take az

discrimination against silver and a diff

interstate act, had It's source in the
for the products of the farm and shop.
There was a general consent that the
rates should be reasonable" and a
constant conflict as to what rates were
such. The final outcome was the crea-
ton of the federal commission with
power to decide such questions. Hither-
to most of the contests have arisen be-
tween the shipper and the carrier. 1T is
not clear why the same jurisdiction
does not extend to similar disagree
ments between carriers. The shipper is
involved In the contest quite as much
as is the carrier. The one-third cut of
the Seaboard affected injuriously the
competing shipper along the line of
the Southern, as the cut of 80 per
cent of the latter affected shippers
along the competing line. Excessively
low rates can injure producers as well
as those that are excessively high. The
principle underlying all these acts is
the right of the state to control rates
III the interests or the public. If any
considerable portion of the public are
injured by rate excessively low, it is
difficult to perceive the line of division
that makes it illogical that the court
should, in the spirit of the law,
protect them by ordering an increase
of rates. If there is power to regulate,
1T is not complete unless it can raise
as we'll as lower. Soon after its Gre
alton, the interstate commerce COM
mission, in a hearing at Dubuque
practically declined to consider this
side of the question. If the state or ma
ton is to dabble at all In these matters,
it should go the full length. The out
come of the case will be watched with
interest, not by railway officers only,
but by the public.

main into fury, find in the situation
evolved some compensation for the
sings and arrows they have been sub
jected to at the hands of their Repub-
fcan adversaries in years past. The
present is dismal enough for them,
the darker as they look back at the
brightness that Shone about them four
years ago; and, if out of it they can
draw any comfort if in it they can
find any compensations, they should
not be grudged the consolation. 1t
is somewhat of comfort to them to see
Republicanism fighting for it's life
against the furies to which it has given
birth. 1t has taught bad doctrine and
given it a limited application in the
practice Of fiatism, an extension of
which is now sought by a section of
the voters. It has made and still
makes protection to the products of
American industry the chief tenet in
it's creed, and it is exhausting it's Gals
sons of argument to show that it's
doctrine should not be extended to
cover one of those products.
1t has taught the people that it is
right to use the common power to pro-
mote the interests of those who care
to engage in manufacturing, and it is
confronted with coalition Of forces,
one branch of which demands that
that power be used in it's behalf. Each
of it's opponents, whether alone or
combined, finds in Republican doc
trine and act precedent and warrant
for it's demands, sustained by incor-
trovertible logic. 1t is some comfort
to see that party now obliged to repu-
date it's basic principles Minor COM
pensations there are in seeing the old

Completion of the Courts Decree.
The order in the Rutland railroads case
was completed by the circuit court We'd
nesday. 1t provides that the action of the
Central Vermont receivers i'm refusing to
adopt the lease is ratified that they sur
render possession of the road and equip
ment May Z; that masters be appointed to
determine the value of the property return
ed in comparison with its value when re-
ceived at the beginning of the lease, and
also to determine certain questions under
the old lease; that another master be APP
pointed to report the facts as to the dam
ages sustained by the forfeiture of the pres
ent lease, and the amount of unpaid rent
under the old lease. The court ordered
the Clement bank and the Fitchburg rail-
road company to pay over the moneys held
by them TO the receivers upon condition
that the receivers forthwith pay the Rut-
land company the rent due up to March 20,
and set apart the sum of $40, 900 which is
to he held subject to the special order of
the court upon final determination as to
the rent subsequent to March 20. The re-
cevers are ordered to report the net in
come arising from the operation of the
leased property between March 20 and its
surrender to the Rutland company. Upon
the coming in of that report the amount of
rent to be paid will be determined, either
upon that report or by further reference to
a master
Rumors that the road is to pass into the
hands of the Boston Il Maine or the Fitch
burg company are stoutly denied. 1t is de-
clared to be the purpose of the Rutland
company to equip its road with modern
appliances, make it attractive to the public,
and depend on wise and business like man
agement for success.

THE KIPLING FAMILY.

Latest Comment of the Photographers.
Rudyard Kipling has been paying quiet
visit to New York, and one of his friends
was so impressed by his flow of converse
ton that he declared that Kipling in an
evening gives out thousand dollars worth
of ideas. But as Kipling is credited with
having refused offers of dollar word, he
needn't have talked much to do that
Springfield Republican.
Mrs. Rudyard Kipling is described as a
slender little woman with soft brown eyes,
dark hair and a very sweet expression.
She is not ''new" woman and does not
care for any society except that of her
household, and she and her husband are
so congenial in their tastes that they live
all the year round in a farm house near
Brattleboro, Vt, and never even think of
being bored. They will soon, however go
to England to reside for a while, at least.
Boston Home Journal, Mag 2.
Mr.. Rudyard KipliDg brought to the city,
last month, the manuscript of story
dealing with the life of rich mans son
among the Gloucester fishermen. 1t is
said to be redolent of salt air and sound
sense, and to point, without preaching, a
most wholesome moral. Its length is
about $4,000 words. At last accounts no
final arrangements had been made for its
publication. York Critic Of May 2

peared for the orator and +. b. Stocking
of Washington for the defendant. Inter
esting expert testimony was introduced.
Decision was reserved.
A case of great importance, both to the
United States government and to lumber
dealers was that of Frank Dudley, petit
toner, VS.. the United States. This was an
appeal from the decision of the board of
United States general appraisers which
sustained the ruling of Collector Smalley
of Burlington as TO a duty of % per cent
ad valorem levied upon lumber imported
from Canada by the petitioner. The point
involved is as TO what constitutes dressed
lumber, which comes in free under the
present tariff, and manufactured lumber,
which is subject to duty. Many samples
of lumber were introduced in evidence.
The particular kinds of lumber in question
in this case are tongued and grooved
sheathing and thick plank flooring.
Decision reserved.
Another case was that of Edwin l.. Eos
ter. receiver Of the defunct First national
bank of Deming, n. NJ. VS.. b. F. Lin
coin, late of Lyndonville, VT, now de-
ceased, ct ais This was case in equity
wherein the receiver seeks to recover an as
sessment on certain shares of stock of the
Deming bank as assessed by the comptrol-
Ter of the currency. The plaintiff also
claims that the stock held by Lincoln was
fraudulently transferred to his children to
avoid payment of the assessment De
cision reserved.
The revenue case of the United States
VS.. Adam l.. Miller of Derby Line, for

tered, and entered a plea of guilty. He
was sentenced to pay fine of $500 and
costs, amounting to Slj5.9l.
In the case of United States VS.. Chaun-
cey Arlington of STAFFORD for violation
of internal revenue law in selling liquor
without a government license, it was or
deIed that the forfeiture of bail be stricken
off. The respondent was then arraigned,
entered plea of guilty and was sentenced
to be imprisoned in the house of correction
for one month and to pay fine of 500.

100000. Gov. Morton opened the exposi-
ton by pressing golden key, which
caused artillery salutes to be fired stimuli
taneously at San Francisco, New Orleans,

most interesting feature of the exposition
was the demonstration of the power gener-
ated by the Niagara Falls. The current

Six men are to die on the old federal
gallows at Fort Smith, Ark, July l. The
men are the Buck gang, composed of Rufus
Buck, Sam Samson, Lewis Lewis, Mamoi

with the exception of Buck, the leader. In
sentencing the men the judge told them to
abandon hope of clemency, and that al
that prevented mob from hanging then
