Pursuant to instructions contained in
the Blackstock resolution adopted re-
Gently by the Board of Railroad Commits
sioners, Attorney General Ford yester-
day filed in the United States Circuit
Court a notice to the Southern Pacific
Company that next Monday morning at
10 o'clock he would move to dismiss the
action brought by the railroad company
to restrain the Commissioners from put
ting in force the reductions in the freight
schedule adopted by the previous Board
of Railroad Commissioners. The motion
to dismiss will be supplemented by mo-
ton that each side pay its own costs.
The Blackstock resolution rescinded and
repealed the resolution adopted Septem-
ber 26 1895, reducing grain rates per cent
and reducing all other classes of freight
% per cent. AS the suit was brought by
the railroad company to prevent the Com
missioners from putting the new rates in
to effect, and as the obnoxious resolution
has been repealed, it is believed that the
railroad company will not oppose the mo-
tion to dismiss, the purposes OF their
suit having been accomplished in an
easier way.
The motion that each side pay its own
costs is to the advantage of the railroad
company, for the costs accrued on be-
half of the State, according to Mr.. Black
stocks estimate, have already reached
upward of $43 900, and according to the
estimate made by the Attorney General
in his report to the Legislature they
would amount to $4,000 if fought to a
finish. This would be neat little sum
for the railroad to pay in case it should
be defeated in the trial before the Cir
cult Court as it certainly would be.
But the majority of the Board Of Rail-
road Commissioners have removed this
item of expense to the railroad. corpora
ton and have placed it upon the shoul-
derS of the taXpayerS.

AN INADEQUATE QUARANTINE.

IRON the appearance OF a case OF smallpox at
the Preside among the soldiers recently
brought from Manila by the transport Sher-
man. it is evident the quarantine inspection was not
adequate to the needs of the emergency. The disease
has been permitted to find its way into the city in
this one case certainly and it will be due to good
fortune rather than to good management il further
outbreaks of the malady do not occur.
The record shows that one OF the passengers the
transport died from smallpox about fourteen days
before she arrived at this port No other case OF the
disease was manifest during the voyage and after de
tanning the ship in quarantine for two days after her
arrival the quarantine officials concluded the danger
was passed and permitted her crew and passengers to
come ashore This action was based upon the belief
OF the quarantine physicians that smallpox germs
do not develop after sixteen days, and that il any
such germs should survive that period they would
be destroyed by the fumigaton practiced the
ton.
The case at the Preside effectively disproves such
assumptions The disease germ 1urked with unabated
force but without showing itself, during the whole
period Of sixteen days, and was not destroyed by
iumigaton. 1t has now begun its virulent work on
shore and vigilance will be required to prevent it
from spreading further
1t is clear there IS needed at the quarantine station
more drastic process OF dealing with such diseases
1t would not be too much to hold ship at the sta
ton until fully twenty days had passed since death
by smallpox among her crew. Moreover, the purif-
cation OF the ship and OF her crew be attended
to with greater care One evidence of the nadequacy
OF the service has been given. We should not have

PURE FOOD LAWS IN ILLINOIS.

I ILLINOIS is now to be added to the States that
have taken steps to protect consumers against
fraudulent and impure foods An act has been re-
Gently adopted which is said be very stringent in
its nature and the supporters OF the crusade for pure
food are sanguine it will produce results of the high
est benefit the community In fact the Inter Ocean
says if the Legislature had done no more than enact
that one law it would not have assembled in vain.
We have had reasons for suspectng that California
has been the dumping ground OF all kinds of adul-
erated food but evidence submitted to the Illinois
Legislature nclines to the belief that Chicago has
Jared worse than San Francisco, and that the peo-
pie OF Illinois have been consuming not only worse
things but much larger variety of worse things
than have ever been dumped into market.
Aduteration OF food is practiced to such an
extent that the cheapest foods are no longer
pure Articles sold to consumers at so low price
that would suppose any OF aduteration to be
improbable still subject to fraud Thus it is
noted that in search of New Orleans open
kettle molasses could find only one place in Chicago
where the unaduterated article could be secured and
this in spite OF the fact that the pure article costs only
18 cents per gallon He found hundreds of places
where an article sold in neatly printed and la
beled tin cans guaranteed pure N. O. O. K mo-
asses' but not grain OF the golden yellow sugar
a sure test OF the pure arcle-coud be found in the
1t is recognized that considerable proportion of
the aduterated foods not absolutely harmful to
health and therefore the Illinois law permits the sale
of such articles provided they are distinctly labeled
and branded so that every purchaser may know
exactly what they contain. An important feature OF
the bill refers to candies and confectioneries as it
has been found that much of the cheap candy is so
adulterated to be virtually mixture of vile COM
pounds and seriously injurious to the health of chill
dren, who the more tempted by it because they
get what is commonly called "an all day lick for
about penny
By curious clause of the law it is provided that it
shall not go into effect until July 1000 That gives
the dealers in impure food something more than a
year in which to work off their frauds and their
posons The law in effect declares that certain prac-
tees fraudulent and dangerous and yet in defer
ence to those who engaged in them the suppress
sion of them will be postponed until all the vile stuff
now on their hands be disposed of upon an un-
suspecting public Bad as that provision is for Il
linos it may perhaps be beneficial to the rest of the
country. Had the law been put into force at once
the Chicago adulterations might have been shipped
elsewhere and other communities would have suf-
| fered because Illinois is virtuous.

was quite rough while the Rival was at
Clipperton and it took considerable time
TO lighter the stuff from the shore TO the
