LONG HAUL CLAUSE.
lMPORTAN 2 DECISION RENDERED
BY THE SUPREME COURT,
Rates Made to Meet Water COMPETE
ton do Not Need Commission APP
prOvaI-EXpOrt Rates ON Cotton
Mixed up.

The United States supreme court
last week affirmed the deci-ion of tbs
lower court in the case of the Inter
sta'e Commerce Commission against
the Alabama M dlald and the Georgia
/ Central Railroad compan and others
the case arose out of the charges by
citizens of Troy, Ala, that the com
panies We're disregardipg the long and
short haul clause of tie interstate com
merce law. The point at issue was
whether, when there was cOmpetit on
between rail- DAD and water t-apSpoT ia
tiOn the roads must file lower rates
with the Interest ate Comme ~ce Com
mission nd it was dec ded in the mega
tive by tie court.
The opinion of the court was han de1
down by Justice Shirss. Thc act on
was begun before the Interstate G. m
merce Commission in 1892 upon petit
ton from the Board of Trade of Troy.
Ala, alleging a discrimination by the
roads agai st that town in the interest
of Montgomery and other places. The
roads dee 1de1 their rat es necessary
to meet water transported Oh, but the
com mission decided against them aud
also held that prefe, ence in rates
should not be granted eXcep. on au-
thority secured from the commission.
Tie court overruled the commission
on both points, holding on the first that
''cOmpe titiOu is cn5 of the most obvious
and effective circums' t" ces that make
the conditions under which a long and
short haul is performed subs tantia y
dissimilar thiugs.'
Justice S!iraS stat d, however, that
the de :ision was not il ended to relieve
common tarr.ers from the restraints of
the third and fourth sections of the
law. but is purpose wa that these
sections are mot so stringent and inn
perative as to exclude in all cases mat
t. + in compe tit on in determining the
questions of undue and unquestonab,e
prefe -e lce.''
Upon the other point as to whether
railroad companies can he relieved
from the operations Of the long and
short haul clause of the interstate COM
merce act without first inviting the
consent of the commission, Justice
Shiras said:
1--WE are una BILE to suppose that con-
gress intended to forbid common car
r; ers 10 caSes where the circumstances
and conditions are substantially dis
similar from making different rates
until and unle IS the commission shall
authorize them to do so.'
This was in line with the decision Of
the circuit court of sappeals for the
sixth circuit, which was therefore af-
frmed.
Jus ice Harlan dissented from the
opinion, rem arking that it. went far to-
ward defeating the objects Of the utter
state commerce law, adding:
sit not only ninimizos the power of
the interstate commerce commiss; ON
far below the intention of congress
it'll reference to it, but it puts into
the hands of the railroad companies the
power to so arrange the transportation
business of the country as to destroy
the trade of intermediate points,"

Passing of the Mustang.

The wild horse of Texas has become
one of the greatest nuisances within
the borders of the Lone Star state.
| Not satisfied with it's own freedom,
the wild horse has adopted the tactics
| of the Apache and Sioux and stamped es
| its brethren. Novelists have taught
US to belive that the wild mustang is
EN- blem attic of the freedom pure and
noble. The Texas ranchman regards
him as an emissary OF the evil one, for
he brings to his ranch despair and
loss.
For the last decade the d,oves of
horses that run free in Texas have
been steadily increasing in numbers
and strength. Years ago it was worth
while to catch these animals to sell.
Nowadays it is hard work to sell a
mustang for use even as COW pony.
Fo merly it was the case that there
was no horse for the stockman, the
which had run wild for the first four
or five years of its life. Lean sineway
as an Arab, with the endurance of an
Indian and capacity for steady speed
that can only be likened to loco
n olive, be was treasure. Well
seasoned a cow ponv could be ridden
100 miles in single day and come out

In mind. tue. efore, h. swoops down

terrors of jumping u barbed wire fence
and take chances on clearing the sides
of corral. The result is that the
stockmap, unless one of his riders stops
on guard, is likely to wake up in the
morning and find his herd stamped ed.
If it is the roundup, the first thing the
wranglers know thunder of hoofs
comes from the prairie, a shrill neigh
ing, which the herd answers in equally
shrill notes The hOof beats sound
nearer and nearer the herd grows
more and more excited ard uneasy,
until finally the wild mustangs dash in
and mingle with the cow ponies, and
in moment more all are off for some
place, no one knows where. The

tunae if they can control their own
animals and avoid being forced to join
in the stampede.-NewY York Herald.

Notice to Shippers.

Office of Commercial Agent,
FL Paso, Texas, Sept. %, 1897.
1t has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance OF
the quar- antine restrictions at New
Orleans ind vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York sub
seQuent to Sept. 18th, will land at
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detention to Sunset route seabOard
business.
For the protection of the interests of
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have been promulpate
prohibiting the handling of freight or
iginating in New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tination in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond; therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
ritories, we would solicit routing
through St. Louis, care Frisco Line,
II. 81 T. Q. and Southern Pacific; M. x.
& T, b. 81 T. G. and Southern Pacific:
z. X. l. 81 r. n. & T. G. and Southern
Pacific; or Burlington. M. X. & T., H.
& T. G. and Souther Pacific.
This does not in any way effect
freight to and from seaboard via Nor
gan Line steamers and Sunset route,
as same does not pass through New
Orleans.
The post Office department advise
that all mail from New Orleans to Mo-
bile Scranton, Ocean Springs and
other supposed infect districts is fumi-
gated and no danger from that source
is likely to arise.
