The Kansas Supreme court In the
case of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway Company against
i. P Campbell has handed down a de-
cision holding the act Of the legisla-
ture requiring railroads to furnish free
transportation to shippers of live
stock to be unconstitutional. The
court was unanimous and It's decision
reverses both the Appellate court and
the Sedgwick county district court.
The court says: This Is depriva-
ton of property without due process OF
law and denial OF the equal protection
of the laws, and is, therefore, uncon-
stitutional and void under the four
teenth amendment to the eonstitu-
ton" The railroads have furnished
shippers Of one car load free transpor-
tation to market, the shippers paying
their fare home. For two car loads or
more the shipper is carried free both
ways. This is the rule which has been
observed for years and is now In force.
The populist legislature of 1897 passed
the law declared unconstitutional. II
provided that shippers of one car loau
should be carried free both ways.

passed moderately protective tariff

were the largest ever recorded for the

The state OF health of one of our two
surviving ex-PresIdents was the sub
iect OF numerous newspaper para
graphs few weeks ago. Neither of
the two has yet reached the average
number OF years attained by ex-Presi-
dents from Washington to Arthur.
Washington's brief life after he left
the presidency was longer than that of
Polk or of Arthur. for in the June fol-
lowing the close OF his chief magis-
tracy Polk was dead, and Arthur sur-
yived his retirement less than two
years. John Adams lived twenty-five
years as ex-President, and bis son,
John Quincy Adams. showed for near
ly nineteen years how Importantly a
former chief magistrate may serve his
country. Van Buren and Fillmore sur

Madison, nineteen years: Jefferson and
Tyler, seventeen years; Pierce. twelve
years. and Hayes nearly as long.

The project for building new ia
cade TO the cathedral OF Milan, which
has been at the point OF execution for
fourteen years, is receiving SO much
opposition that it is not impossible
that it may be abandoned. The old
facade struck a dIseordant note. but
many of its details were fine. AS the
bequest which was to largely pay the
cost OF the construction of the facade
was to revert to the great hospital
at Milan II the construction was not
begun within certain time, it is
probable that the Milanese public will
not regard the loss OF new facade a
serious matter.

Whether the bark looked better than Cam
Davies expected to find her or whether she
looked worse, nobody could say for certain. But
that something serious was the matter anybody
could see, for the old skipper hardly woke up to
rip and tear more than or twice a day
and that nothing for him. The Nellie b.
got a charter for London with wool and lost no
time discharging. Cap'n Davies hung about
her all the time she in Port Philip. Soon
after she sailed he just up and died. There
wasn't much satisfaction in it for Capn Davis
for he died. too, before he got around Cape
Horn. and he never knew that he sole cap

Another scheme of the two shippers went
astray. Each of them. having neither chick
nor child. had willed his share in the bark to
the ships husband. thus giving him the con-
trolling interest the condition that he would

of framing regulations for the preservation of

able the conference to draw up series of regu-
lations for the acceptance of the Governments
represented. Although all the European Powers
interested in Africa are represented al the con-
ference all are not equally interested in the sub

Germany are practically controlling the proceed
