Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Presidents Of
Western railroads and all the big pack

The alliance was completed ct

suit in an absolute maintenance Of
freight rates on packing house prod

The two conferences held between
the packing house people and the rail-
road presidents followed an assurance
received from the interstate commerce

ter would result in the commissions

ers for violations Of the law. AS
condition precedent to dropping the
threatened prosecution the commits
that are being made on packing Juse

maintained absolutely.
The agreement provides that the
rates that are actually being made
shall be published, that the railroads
shall upon no pretense grant lower

A CARD MAD TOWN.

To some extent a similar situation
exists here, but it is not to be sup
posed that the matter will be taken
up at the special session which is 10

nell, q former member of the Mime
sofa legislature laughed, this noon
when told of the matter, and 10;
marked that such q law would in
evitably be considered q joke, al
though he admitted that it's intro
duction into the Pennsylvania legis-
lature would probably be made in
good faith. 'There is not enough
sentiment against card playing to
make it possible to enforce such q
said he. 1T would simp-
ly be another piece of freak legisla-
ton, and there is already too much
of that sort of thing. Laws that
cannot be enforced should not he
put upon the statue books. I sec
they are talking about an anti firt
ing law in New York; yet l d not
believe you can prohibit people from
looking at each other simply by
against it.
sWe had a freak measure here in
Minnesota some years ago, the anti
tights bill. At bottom I do not
doubt that measure had merits, was
out of the house. Card
playing for prizes may become an
evil, but at worst it is not a seriou !
one; nor do I believe it to be a fit
subject for legislation.
In Pennsylvania the craze seems
to have taken strong hold upon the
city of Beaver Falls, and the leading
men of that city called On masse on
Justice William Piper and asked him
to is-ue warrants wholesale against
the women of the city. Nearly 100
names were mentioned many Of tho
complaints naming their wives. 7
They affirmed that they were not
able to get their meals cooked, that /
the interest of the women in their I
homes was dying out, while tho Nj
clergymen of the delegation affirmed /
that the teachers in the Sunday I
chools wran gled over questions Of
euchre instead of teaching their i
and under cover of their
hymn hooks debated and discussed
prizes to be won. .}M&#

NEW PISTOL Law.

ut does not appear to be generally
remembered that the state is going to
practically stop the sale of pistols
after the lst Of July. 1t is not Il long
while before the new statute goes into
effect. 1t is, therefore, high time for
the dealers in pistols to remember the
existence Of the statute and get to the
point of closing out their stocks. At
the time the statute was enacted
there was some talk Of bringing suit
to test the constitutBnality Of the
act. No test can be made until the
law becomes operative, because the
state supreme court will not decide q
case which presents prospective is
sue. There is now talk being gotten
up among the dealers to employ dis
tinguished counsel and, by violating
the law, make a test Of the constitu-
tionality. The man who, after July
I, violates the law and allows him
self to be convicted merely to test the
statute, runs Il considerable risk.
The law is radical and cXtraordi-
nary, but South Carolina has before
this done some surprising thinga, ard
IL the new law will only stop the ps-
thing.
The act, which was passed in 1901,
and is known as the Cooper law, reads
as follows.
"Section 129. From and after the
1st day of July, 1902, it shall be un-
lawful for anyone to carry about the
person, whether concealed or not, any
pistol less than 20 inches long and
three pounds in weight, and it shall
be unlawful for any person firm or
corporation to manufacture, sell or
offer for sale, or transport for use or
sale into this state, any pistol Of less
length or weight. Any violation CT
this section shall be punished by a
fine Of not less than 800, or i'm prison
ment for not more than 30 days, and
in case Of violation by a firm or a
corporrton it shall forfeit the sum OF
500 to and for the use Of the school
fund of the county wherein the viola
takes place, to be recovered as other
fines and forfeitures. This section
shall not apply to peace officers in
actual discharge Of their duties or to
persons while on their premises.
"The fines and forfcitures above
provided for, when collected, shall go
to the school fund Of the county
where the violation occurred"
At the recent session oi the general
assembly the act was amended by It's
friends so rs to cover antiquities.
The pistol carrying habit will very
likely be very perceptibly lesSoned in
this section after the first of next
month. The people over the State
one in every respect, and it is to be
hoped that it will be enforced in nc
uncertain manner. 1t may be q very
costly experiment to the man who
attemps to make Il test case of it.
