The Commodore must have been an in

to be SO dark with all the flames?
And again. if the waves were SO dark,

Without criticising in any way the de-
cision of Police Justice Potts in the Bis
sell case, 1t is proper to say that the
general position held by the Central Rail-
way Company in the battle of the bundles
is in many respects unreasonable and
probably Illegal. hi decision in the Bis
sell case rests upon the special state of
facts shown In the evidence, and it would
be impossible to review it without a close
analysis of them. It may be an right or
It may be all wrong. But the notion that
carrying bundles upon the train to a rea-
sonable extent is preposterous.
The carrying of bundles is a common
n necessary practice. 1t antedates the
railroads themselves. and it is likely to
continue as long as the existing state of
civilization does. There is no convenient
substitute for it; indeed there is no pos
sible substitute for it. To attempt to
stop it arbitrarily upon the railroads
would be a hardship of the most giaring
character. It would be an impairment of
the usefulness of the roads, and an aban-
donment to an extent of the purposes for
which they are chartered by the State.
II there is anything in the present state
of the law which authorizes them to as
sail the rights of the travelling public
in this way, there should be Immediate
legislation to make 1t impossible in
future.
So much for the case of the man who
Is carrying his own bundle for his own
convenience. The question Is different as
to the rights of the man who is carrying
a bundle for some one else. It is a por-
ton Of the business of a railroad to carry
freight. large and small. fast and slow,
and 1T is quite legitimate for it to levy
q reasonable toll for the service. 1t cam
not be successfully argued that, in merely
buying a ticket for his own t~ransporta-
ton, an express messenger sufficiently
compensates the road for transporting an
indefinite number of packages. at the
very greatest speed and in cars not de-
signed for the purpose. It has a right
to make a separate charge on every
package so carried, or a collective charge
for all that one man or agency may
carry as may depend on the agreement
between the company and such Individual
or agency.
But with this right of ~exacting com-
p~ensation, the rights of the company
end. It has no right of exclusion. That
is to a. 1t may have a right to ex-
clude freight from its passenger cars,
but It has no right to exclude it from
any train which carries other freight of
similar character, under pretext Of q
special or exclusive contract. In other
words, the Central Railroad has no right
to enter into an exclusive freight con-
tract with the United States or other
Express thereby creating a
monopoly. 1t has no right to refuse ex-
press freight from other lenders on the
plea Of the existence Of such monopoly,
nor to charge anyone else higher rates
than # charges to It's most favored GUS
toner. nor 70 discriminate in any other
way between parties desiring to use its
lines.
= Is contrary to all public policy that
! railroad should be allowed 70 abuse its
franchise from the state IN any such

Tonight Mr.. Olcott will present tThe
Minstrel of Clare for the first time in this
city. 1t is a pretty little comedy-drama
from h pen of the late Fred Marsden.
THE Minstrel of Clare was given in New
York last season and ran successfully for
several months. AS the title indicates,
the scene of the play wss laid in Ireland,
the period chosen being that of a half
century ago, shortly after the rebellion
of Is4S. Mr.. Olcott has a peculiar part IN
this play. 1t is one, however, that re-
quires to be handled with the utmost deli
cacy, as the very slightest -exaggeration
would completely ruin, not only The work
OF the star. but the entire character of
the performance. During his long run II
New York city, Mr.. Olcott received the
most glowing encomlums On his clever act
ing in the role of Larry O'Lynn, he as
playing unusual dramatic ability and keen
discernment of the minute details that go
so far toward rounding OF a character of
This kind. Several new songs haV been
written by Mr.. Olcott specially FOR this
play and he win also introduce songs by
other composers during the performance.
Next week that popular fayorite, I'm Old

All the elements which ombfne to
make a most enjoyable entertainment
will be seen when that inimitable Ger
man comedian, Gus Williams, makes his
appearance in his original creation of

policeman, in the comedy drama of New
York life, zone of the Finest which Is

ment, pathos and dramatic force. and
the scenic portion is claimed to equal any

SOME NEW THEOLOGY.

The Congregationlst, which Is
the leading orthodox journal of
New England, was recently asked
to clear up some doubts regarding
the stand Of the theologians, who
believe in the faith of the Congre-
gationlists. \ part of its reply Is
as follows:
''These churches believe in re-
tribution for sins in the world To
come. They do not, perhaps, call
it damnation. They do not I'M
dertake to describe hell. They do
not affirm that there Is an eternity
of conscious suffering for sinners
unchanged and unforgiven. But
they do not believe that sin goes
UNPUBLISHED. or that sinners who
reject redemption through Jesus
Christ are going to heaven. They
do not preach salvation for men
except through him, and if they
