DOWN THE RIVER.
Mr.. Boyden's Unusual Attractions for The
Two Holidays.


Great preparations have been made Tor
the celebration OF the double holidays
Fourth of July aud Sunday-at Crescent
Park and, IL the weather holds good
the most sanguine expectations will be
more than fully realized. 1t certainly
seems as IL, in justice, good down-the-
river weather should prevail, not only
because Manager Boyden's great enter
prIses have been run at great loss so lar
this season, but also because thousands
upon thousands.of pleasure and recrea-
ton seekers Will be sorely disappointed
il the bluest Of blue skies do not prevail.
For the proper observance OF "the glori-
Gus Fourth" Manager Boyden has Sc
cured, as he advertises, the biggest array
OF attractive and novel features ever seen
on Narragansett Bay. Tho new dance
hall, with mirror-like floor, will be open
for the first time and Brigham's singing
orchestra OF Marlboro, Mass, which has
created big sensation throughout the
country, will be on hand afternoon and
evening TO coax the toe to trip the light
fantastic. There will be bicycle races as
are bicycle races, I'm which the fastest
riders in New England have entered.
Reeves famous American band, than
which none better was ever organized,
will give grand concerts day and evening,
and there VIII be two performances OF
"The Mandarin Zune" given in. the fioat-
ing palace thester, about which so much
has been written, but which will be new
to almost every visitor 10 the Coney-
island-oi-the-E East. About the new comic
opera a few words should be said. At
first 1t was difficult TO predict whether it
would take or not
All doubt has been dispersed this week,
however, by the econlums applied by the
hundreds of persons who have gone down
on the early evening boats TO enjoy one
OF the o o'clock dinners which made
Crescent Park famous last year, to bo
followed by the enjoyable entertainment
in the theater nnd the delightful sail
home. Besides all these, there are the
pool and billiard rooms, roller coasters,
bicycle and other carousals, not to men
tion the fine bathing attiaI lions.

II insist that In disposing of this

bills proposing to pension camp followers
and take up the bills that pension the
men who carried the musket, the men
who carried thesword, and the bills to
pension their widows, who are suffer-

acted on and no more of that class
remain, then take up, if you choose, the
cases Of the suttlers, the photographers,

Justice Harlan, i'm his dissenting opinion,

right in seeking to prevent this dis-
crimination against American goods III
favor Of goods from abroad. He pointer
out that in the case under consideration,
the Texas Pacific had charged e1.O7 per

Orleans to San Francisco, while on
similar domestic goods it charged S288

cision, which was handed down by Justice

The third case decided involved the
validity Of the section Of the interstate
commerce law providing that a higher
rate should not be charged for short
haul than for long one. The COM
plant was that the rate from Cincinnati
TO Atlanta and Social Circle, Ca, q sta
tion fifty miles south Of Atlanta, were
such aS TO discriminate unfairly against
Social Circle. II seems that the rate
from Atlanta to Social Circle was very
much out OF proportion to the rate from
to Atlanta. The court holds
that the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has no power to fix rates, but that
the commission was empowered to decide
whether the rate from Atlanta to Social
Circle was in violation OF the short haul
clause Of the law. The court repri-
manded the railroads for withholding
evidence from the commission in pro-
ceedlngs before that body.

the Latter
The bray of the average Republican
politician and ofice-seeker about his love
and the love of his party for the old sol
der is familiar sound. The whole out
fit has been particularly noisy during
the Cleveland administration and in the
campaign previous to the election OF the
present Congress the cid soldier was
promised and assured that a Republican
Congress would right all their wrongs,
and that not only would he have prompt
relief and fair treatment, but the gov
ernment would be more than liberal
With him. The old veteran who idolized
Lincoln and the early leaders Of the
party, not yet having discovered that
new crowd was running things, thought
his time had come and that now he
would be the beneficiary Of good pension
legislation. The younger generation
could have given him few pointers on
the value Of Republican promises and
could have foretold, with remarkable
degree Of accuracy, the manner in which
the promises would be fulfilled. The
Republican Congress was elected. The
Republican majority was 140. The action
so far of that Congress is not such as to
encourage any veteran.
In speech on pension bill, delivered
in Congress March q, Congressman
James A. Connolly, the Republican
member from the Springfield Qll.) dis
trict, said:
~ maintain that it is time for some OF
us to speak out and call halt in this
thing. We have sleeping on the files of
this House, and have had for months, a
bill to amend the general pension law
n such way as to provide that thou
sands Of these cases that now have to
be passed upon by the House may be
adjudicated in the Pension Office-the
general bill prepared by the Committee
on Invalid Pensions, providing modes of
proof that will be more just than the
rules laid down by the Pension Office.
But, sir, we are SO busy making Pres
idents-this Congress is filled up with
30 many candidates for the Presidency
and so many Senatorial candidstes-that
we have no time to take up or allow to
be taken up and enacted into q
law this general bill for the benefit OF
those who are entitled to pensions.

RAILROAD DECISIONS.
The United States Supreme Court Decides
Some Important Points.

OVAV AnApONbtAMb KVAAAos
The Supreme court Of the United
States handed down number of decis-
ions March 80, among which we're three
railroad decisions which will interest
readers. In the first it was held that
railroads running in parallel directions
and which were naturally composing
lines could not consolidate, or, rather,
that an act Of the State Legislature pro-
hibiting consolidation was valid. The
opinion was by Justice Brown, and in it
he says:
whether the consolidation of compet-
ing lines will necessarily result in an
increase OF rates, or whether such a
consolidation has generally resulted in
a detrlment to the public is beside the
question. Whether it has that effect or
not, it certainly puts it in the power Of
the consolidated corporation to give il
that effect-in short, puts the public at
the mercy of the corporation. There is
and has been for the past 800 years, both
in England and this country, popular
prejudice against monopolies in general,
which has found expression in innumer-
able acts Of legislation. We cannot say
that such prejudice is not we'll founded.
1t is matter upon which the LegislR-
ture is entitled to pass judgment. There
are, moreover, thought to be other
dangers to the moral sense Of the
community incident to such great
aggregations Of wealth which, though
indirect, are even more insidiOus in their
influence, and such as have awakened
feelings Of hostility which have not
failed to find expression in legislative
acts. The consolidation Of those two
great corporations would unsVoidably
result in giving the Great Northern q
monopoly of all traffic in the northern
half Of the State OF Minnesota, as well
as Of ali transcontinental traffic north Of
the line Of the Union Pacific, against
which public regulations would be but
a feeble protection. The act Of the
Legislature Of 1874 undoubtedly re-
flected the general sentiment Of the
public, that their best security is
in competition"
In another decision it was held that
a railroad company could not be pre-
vented from charging less rate for
imported goods to the interior of the
country than for domestic goods.
The majority Of the court held, in
effect, that the Interstate Commerce
Commission could not control the rail.
way rates charged on goods imported
from abroad when those rates we're part
Of a through charge. In other words,
suppose q man in Chicago imported 100
pounds Of dry goods from London on
which the whole charge was 81, Of which
65 cents was for steamship carriage and
80 cents for railway carriage from New
York TO Chicago, and also brought 100
pounds Of dry goods from New York on
which the railway rate was 55 cents.
