a FREIGHT BILL.

The decision of the Court Of Appeals
on last Monday on the question oil
freight rates involved in McGrew vs.
Missouri Pacific railroad company was
in lire with that Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission recently made
between the same parties. In both
cases the charge of discrimination BY
The railroad company 10 favor OF Ne
own mines and against oolside ONnsrs
was charged and established, the Inter
State case being under the act Of
congress and affecting rates outside Of
Missouri, while the case in the Court
of Appeals was under the state law
which deals only with transportation
within the state. In addition the
Court Of Appeals case also involved the
question of greater freight charges for
shorter than longer distances aud this
point was also decided IN favor oil the
plaintiff.
These cases are Of great Importance
Aud settle points OF railroad Law, both
state and federal iavorably TO shippers,
but we understand, that for the state OF
Missouri the greatest relief must come
from the passage of the maximum
freight bill prepared BY Alexander
Graves, Mr.. hebrews attorney.
That bill is now in the stale senate
and the eouduct of senators relative to
the out come will be closely scanned.

OPINION Br D CAN'T.

Judge CAN'T 6lsd an opinion sstab-
fishing the validity Of the law, in
which 10 directly opposes the chief
justice upon every proposition 10 the
case. He holds that the lAu ls Hot .
tsxallon measure, bat merely N H.
spectios law. and that the fact that
the fees collected are greatly In excess
Of .he cost Of isspectieB does sot
render IL o revenue measure. He
holds, also. that when Q subject Is
once vi,hia the police power Of the
state then the extent Of the regulations
to effect the requisite purpose are
matters entirely within the legislative
discretion. He sage that the state uh-
questIopabiy has the power to prohibit
the sale Of beer absolutely and this be.
ing true n mus, follow As the greater
includes the less, that the state has
also the power 70 permit the manu-
fscture aad sale Of beer only upon
such terms apd under such condItioss
a. Il sees proper. Comnenting upon
the policy Of tho law Judge Cant. sAysi
eft rs perfsstly competent for the
lsgislatsre 10 decline To prohibit the
manuiseture and sale Of beer and other
ardent spirits, bat to require . more
wholesome article fer those who drink
it. The state has had throughout lie
history. laws against the adulterAtioR
OF liquors and foods. And certainly
experience has demonstrated the uis.
dom and necessity Of such laws. In
the dispatches Of the 18th inst. h /,
reported that The city analysist Of
London testified at . beer poisoning
Inquest that from samples examined
and tested BY himself that the average
weekly consumption Of beer in Liver.
pool would contain 500 pounds Of
arsenic, enough to kill 1000, 200
people, II administered in equal doses
and one alta time. Without intlmaliua
that the beer manufactured In this
state contains psisons, II IL perfectly
clear that The legislature may from
time 10 time take such precautions and
prescribe such regulations o. will tend
to prevent the manufacture OF impure
and unwholssoms beer and malt liquors
and the greater the quantities used the
more need there is and will be for q
wise and effective inspection. AZ TO
Whist is the public policy Of the state
on the subject, We must look At the
laws enacted BY The Representatives Of
the public, and this act v On ex-
preston OF what they deem the corroe,
public policy"
The opinion Of Judge CAN'T touches
every point In the case, and completely
s~ustsiBs the Law. Judges Marshall,
, Valiant and Brace concur with Jstgs

then all the rifles along a line q sixth
Of a mile long were fired so close to-
gether that the discharge was like the
explosion of the greatest cannon in all
the world.
The smoke rose in thick black cloud,
which a moment later hoated dozen
feet above the earth and revealed tho
British squares, shattered and stopped,
the ground in front of them red with
the fallen, the officers shouting and re-
forming their lines, while our own pillow
reloading their rifles with swift and
steady hands.
We cayalrymen raised great shout
of approval, which the regulars on the
rise in front of us took mp and repeated.
A second volley was all that we had
asked from the militiamen, and it was
sure now. Even as our cheer was echo
ing it was delivered with all the cool
ness and deadly precision of the first.
Again the British line reeled and stop
ped, but they were veterans, led by the
fiery Tarleton, and they came ON third
time, only to meet the third of those
deadly volleys. which swept down their
front lines and blocked the way with
their own dead and dying.
THE battle is won already, shouted
Colonel Washington, land it's the
farmer boys of South Carolina and
Georgia who have won itp'
Never did veteran troops show more
gallantry and tenacity than those same
farmer boys on that day. Two volleys
were all that were asked of them, yet
not merely once or twice, but many
times they poured in their deadly vol
leys at close range, again and again
hurting back the British veterans, who
doubled them in number and were sup
ported by artillery and many cavalry,
while we old soldiers in the two lines
