Bishop Keener of the Methodist

that the Garden of Eden was near
Charleston. The Greensboro Chris
tian Advocate says: The argument
of Bishop Keener in proof of the
Garden of Eden being located near
Charleston, South Carolina, is strong
and ingenious and he brings many
facts to prove his conclusion. To
US there is much in favor of his
theory and we advise all to read this
last written book of our senior

AT THE MERCY OF THE ROADS.

The Interstate Commerce Commission Can
not Regulate Freight Classification.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-J. M. Lang
ley, representing the Merchants AS
ISOLATION of New York, testified be-
fore the Industrial Commission that
it was utterly useless for the Inter
state Commerce Commission to at
tempt to govern freight classifica-
ton rates. The railroads, Mr.. Lang
ley stated, exercise power that
amounts to arbitrary taxation and
in the making of these classifcations,
which really amount to rate-making,
the merchants have no representa-
ton. The change, he said, in the
territory south of the Ohio and east
of the Mississippi, amounted to an
advance of about two thirds in 200
items of classification and a com
plant he had made was dismissed by
the roads as too general, despite the
wholesale nature of the advance. In
a large number of instances alleged
INSTRUMENTATION was between r
load and less than carload rates,
which he claimed to be unjustiiable.
There were two classes of discrimi-
nation, he said, arbitrary change in
classification and in broken bulk,
the latter being the difference be-
tween rates on carload lots and on
fractions thereof.
The merchants contend that in the
latter the roads are not governed by
the cost of handling. The merchants
in the Southern States, he commended,
can distribute in their respective
States goods on the old freight basis,
while a merchant outside is sub
iected to the advanced classification.
This failure to recognize the general
classification rates on Interstate bust
ness is with a view, he said, to build
ing up the jobbing interests of the
particular State. The witness said
there are three classes of rates in
the Southern territory that are
higher than the highest rate in the
trunk line territory. This higher
tariff for the South may be due
partly, he said, to lack of as good
railroad facilities in the South as
elsewhere and also to the light re-
turn traffic from the South. The
witness regarded the discrimination
as Of a sectional nature and detri-
mental to the South. He COntended
that the roads were afraid to make
direct new rates, but they accom-
plished the same end by shifting
items of freight from one class to
another. Sin other words" he said,
"by manipulation for the benefit Of
cert lin inteEe sts. The protests of
the merchants is not primarily that
the rates are advanced but that the
advances are made unequally and
add burdens to the small dealers"
Mr. Langley referred to the system
of inspection of freight at stations
and transfer points by inspectors
employed by the roads and railroad
associations md charged that rates
are often cut by the inspectors
E'1OOking the other way" inspecting
freight of the larger and more power
full shippers. This right to open
freight consignments, the witness
said, was assumed by the roads and
the merchants did not object. Oh
jection, he stated, would not inure to
their interests.

POWERS ARE TOO GREEDY.
Uncle Sam Insists That Their Claims Against
China are Exorbitant.

N0A0S "4S
WASHINGTON, April lathe claims
of the powers for indemnity from
China have all been laid before the
foreign representatives at Pekin, &C.
cording to advices received at the
State Department today from special
commissioner Rockhill. They aggre-
gate about $500, 900, 900, an amount
which this government is satisfied
China cannot pay.
Secretary Hay this afternoon, ac-
ordingly sent instructions to Mr..
Rockhill to insist strenuously that
the aggregate indemnity should not
exceed $500, OOO, 900 and to use his en-
deavors to keep it down to half that
amount. This government has as
certained on enquiry that China will
be able to pay 5000, OOO, 900 but that
she will be hard pressed to do that.
It will be necessary to scale down
the claims of the several powers to
reasonable figures.
The American claims aggregate
$25, 900, 600, but the government is
willing to cut this down to as low as
SIS, OOO, 900 if the other powers will
make proportionate reductions in
their ~pecuniary demands.

The new revenue law passed at the
late session is estimated to reduce
the income from war revenues by
$41, 900, 900, which will bring the es
timated for the coming
fiscal year to about 1875, OtO, 900.
Present indications, however, point
to much larger amount than this, as
it is reported from Washington that
Secretary Gage contemplates going
into the market and buying bonds,
SO rapidly is the surplus piling up
in the treasury.-Farmer's Voice.

Fremont Visitor: Reports from
Raleigh, where the new Board of Di
reotors are Investigating the affairs OF
the penitentiary, declare that the re,
cent management has mismanaged
the institution. There has been a
great deal of talk in recent years
about the way the affairs of the peni.
tary have been conducted. If the
half that has been told is so, some
of those who have had charge of the
penitentiarY deserve to be behind
the bars, dressed in broad copperas
stripes, in company with those Grim
inals whom they have presumed to
hold in durance UiIe. One of two
things ought to he done: either this
kind of talk ought TO be stopped as
slanderous or some mighty big"
men ought to be stacked with Martin
for a term of years.
