as receiver Of the capital National bank.
This case grows out OF the failure OF Charles
w. Moshers bank back In 1893 The state,
after a long legal battle secured verdict
last May In Judge Mungers court for $685.

afterwards took the case TO the court Of
3ppeals by proceedings In error. There
is a dividend Of about $4,000 in cash in
the hands Of the comptroller OF the cur

Attorney General Smyth today filed in the
supreme court brief Of about fifty pages in
support OF his motion for a new trial Of the
case Of the BARLEY bonlsmen. That the
court erred in reaching the conclusion that
this case should be reversed is, the attorney
general asserts, so clear that he can come
as near demonstrating it as It is possible 20
do with any question about which there is a
dispute Il is coutended that the whole
matter hinges upon the admissiblity Of che
transcript OF the petition filed in Lancaster
county. The attorney general holds that
the question to be decided is whether Bart
ley received in his second term all that ne
charged him with receiving; not whether
he had accounted at the close Of his hrsJ
term for all the money with which he was
chargeable, which it is held is immaterial.

Lower Court Ordered 10 Investigate
Enruincs of MiIxxRmIScc Rond.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The United
States supreme court today decided the case
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
way company against the ralrdel commits
sioners Of the state OF South Dakota.
The case involved the state law providing
a maximum rate for the railroads. The
circuit court Of the United States for the
District Of South Dakota dismissed the
bill but today's opinion reversed this judg-
ment and remanded the case with instruc-
tons to the lower court to investigate the
earnings Of the road in the state, so as TO
arrive at the equities of the case.
Justice Brewer delivered the opinion. He
referred to the perplexity Of cases involving
an inquiry into the reasonableness OF rail-
road rates, adding that neither the findings
of the circuit court for the district OF South
Dakota IN which the case was tried nor
The facts as stated in its opinion were suGi-
cicnt to warrant conclusion on the point
Of reasonahleness. We are also of opinion
he said, that the process at which the
court came to its conclusion Is not one
which can be relied upon. II is obvious
that the amount OF gross receipts from any
business does not of itself determine
whether such business is profitable or not
The gross receipts may be large, but il
the expresses are larger surely the business
is net profitable"
After reviewing at some length the meth
eds OF the trial court in reaching it's con-
clusion to the railroad rates, by the per-
sonal efforts of the Judge the opinion is ex-
pressed that a preferable method is to re-
fer the testimony TO a master.
1T is hardly necessary" the opinion
added, ITO observe that in view Of the diff
cultios and Importance OF such a case II is
Imperative that the most competent and
reliable master, general or special, should

President j. ]. Hill of the Great Northern
and the managers Of the Canadian Pacific
are said to stand in the way of the con-
summation Of the big pooling plan OF the
eastern railway magnates.
General Passenger Agent Whitney of the
Great Northern reported that hio road was
not prepared to withdraw the S25 tourist rate
from St Paul to Seattle, but would consent
in the interest of harmony, to make The
minimum rate to all points in the northwest
s25 The reason assigned was that the
Great Northern cannot afford to abandon
the field to the Canadian Pacific which
continues to make the low rates. This was
not satisfactory to the Union Pacific and
Oregon Railway and Navigation company
which refuse to homer rebate tickets so long
as tickets at fiat rates are sold from S.
Paul.
Efforts are now being made to harmonize
the conflicting interests of the Canadian Pa
cifc and Great Northern.

An Old Theory *
plOded.
Food not DigeSted in the
Stomach.
This organ only Prepares u for As
similntion by the IntCStiucs.

U0til a few months ago the medical pro-
fcssion as well as the public at large have
always believed that food was dlgCstcd In
the stomach. but thanks to science they are
now enabled to follow the whole process OF
digestion with their own eyes from the mo-
ment food enters the mouth until it is taken
into the system or carried on through the
bowels. Heretofore all remedies for the
cure Of dyspepsia have been given with the
iden OF assisting the stomach TO digest food
and the discovery that this organ does not
digcet il at all explains the cause Of their
failure to cure the disease and its constant
increase in spite Of the thousand and one
remedies used. Another and equally i'm
portant discovery was also made; that there
are three distinct kinds Of dyspepsia. two of
which require different remedies, and tho
remedy for one must be exactly opposite to
that Cf the other in character. For instance,
acid dyspepsia requires an alkaline treat
ment; indigestion an acid treatment; these
combined and given in one dose neutralze
each other, consequently cannot he given to-
gether with effect The third and most
dangerous of all intestinal dyspepsia) re-
quires a sermicide which must he harmless
and yet strong enough TO destroy the ba-
cilli which cause the disease Understand
ing this and knowing that they possess the
only germicide which can he taken inter-
nally without injury CHyomcD the r.. r.
Booth company have placed on the market
q dyspepsia cure and the only one made
which treats every phase of the disease sep
arately. That 1t has been a success is
shown by the fact THAT THEY GUARAN-

THE R R1cAN CASE.

Chicago Tribune: The democratic plat
1orm at some length the act
enacted temporarily to provide reve-
nues n a civil government for Porto
Rico 1t calls that act "a bold and open
violation of the nations organic law"
Whether that law is unconstitutional is
a question the republicans are willing
to leave to the supreme court. They are
OF the opinion it will sustain the law.
If it does, perhaps the democrats will
call o years hence for the reconstruc-
'oion of the court, so a different opinion
may be had.
The platform says also that the Porto
Rican act has doomed to poverty and
distress a people whose helplesSness ap-
ipels with peculiar force to our justice
and n1agnanimity." This statement does
not involve a question of law, but of fact,
and the figures are at hand to decide it.
This much berated act went into effect
on April Il last. During the following
month United States imports from Porto
Rico were valued at 81, 1O3, 900. For May
of last year they We're valued at $647, 900.
American exports to the island in May
of this year We're 1896, 600, against $685.
900 in May, 1899. During the ten months
d on April 30 of this year there We're
shipped to this country from Porto Rico
20. 344, COO pounds of ugar, SIG, QUO gal
Ions of molasses and 482, 900 pounds of
leaf tobacco. During the single month
of May the EXPORTS We're: Sugar, 25,9O1,-
v pouliuS, OIdSSC TVC,VOO o1lOlS CllIO
leaf tobacco, SIS, 5000 pounds.
It is apparent, therefore, that no SOON
err did this law, which the democrats find
SO much fault with, go into effect than
there was a sudden expansion of Porto
Rican trade. The island began selling
more products nd buying more. A law
which works thus cannot have doomed
to poverty and distress the inhabitants
of the island. The ability to buy and sell
on an expanding scale is not evidence of
poverty from the standpoint of business
men, however it may be from that of the
craftsmen of democratic Platforms.
This same law of doom also assigns
the duties collected in American ports on
Porto Rican products and those collected
in the insular custom-houses for the
maintenance of the Porto Rican govern
ment. This arrangement is to cease as
soon as the representatives of the peo-
pile, in their legislative assembly. devise
some plan for raising a revenue by local
taxation. Thus there will not be tax
]. alton without representation" the demo-
i cratic platform to the contrary notWlth-
standing. The legislative assembly will
have to adopt some plan for raising rev.
enue before March 1, 1902, because after
that date there will be absolute free
]. trade between the United States and
/ Porto Rico.
Under that law which, it Is said. has
doomed Porto Ricans to poverty n
Distress THE trade OF Porto Rico Is In
creasing, and as a necessary consequence
the condition of the people is improving.
: AT the same time they are now paying no
taxes whatever. There are a great many
Americans who will see in this temper
ary exemption from taxation an evil
. dence of ''magnanimity'' and not as the
democrats say of the absence of it.
