Express Companies Called to Reduce
Charges.

The Richmond News Leader oil
Tuesday says: 1.-The express cOmpa-
MES have been cited to appear before
the corporation commission August /
and show cause why the rates which
have been fixed by the commission fol
express companies. should not become
effective. The new rates are much
more favorable to shippers than the
present rates. 1t has not been figured
out just how much the reduction &C.
tually is. but in merchandise packages
and commodities the rates are said tt
be considerably reduced.
The notice was served Saturday af.
ternoon, and it is expected that coun'
sci for the companies will be on HAND
to make answer. Both the Southern
and the Adams Express Companies
were notified here. The attorney
general and his assistants will have
charge of the cases for the State.
A gentleman who is familiar with
the tariff of the express companies
having been for long time in charge
of an office, said today that the CLASH.
ficatiOns and tariffs were a puzzle, and
that it required an expert to reach &
conclusion in many cases. The new
rates are to be ''simple and uniform,
tariffs printed and posted in each Office
for the protection and information OF
shippers.

THE B. AND 0's SIDE OFT.
Points 1t Makes Iu Opposition To The
2-cent- A. Mile Law

Capt. Rudolph Bumgardner, of the
firm of Bumgardner & Bumgard rer,
counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, filed his note in the Church
man 2-cent mileage Cast Friday. 1t
is very lei gthy, but the following are
the points made by the defendant:
"First-The power of the Legislature
of Virginia in the matter of making
rates has been absolutely vacated ami
ahrogated by the Constitution of 1872
''See0nd-The power TO fix and pre-
scribe rates in Virginia is row vested
exclusively in the State Corporation
Commission.
"Third-The Constitution Of Virgin
ia guarantees that no rate shall be fixed
except upon 10 days notice to the car
rier and an opportunity to be heard up
on the business and reasonableness of
the rate before it is fixed and promul
gated.
"Fourth-The passenger rates now

alton Commission, VIII lch is paramount,
and therefore the act of the Legisla
ture in prescribing the Churchman
mileage books is in derOgation of the
paramount power of the commission.

tabllsned rate.
"Seventh-The act in question,
known as the tChurchman bill, is so
vague, indefinite and uncertain in its
terms as to be void.
"Eighth-The information varies ma
terially from the statute and is there

WAS ALWAYS CONSERVATIVE.

The conservatism of Mr.. VIM. j i.
Bryan seems d surprise to many DEM
ocrats and Democratic organs which
opposed him heretofore. The only
difference between them and him they
said was the silver question. They
could not see anything but ruin in a
country which opened it's mints to free
coinage of silver, hence placed them
selves on the conservative side, and
Mr.. Bryan on the radical side OF public
questions. Now what gals these peo.
pie is that the country has awakened
to the truth and admits it, which
truth is that Mr.. Bryan has never been
anything but conservative. This,
however, gives a black eye to their
previous assertions, it makes them
shrivel as SolOmOns, and this is an
awful blow to pride, to wisdom, to
craftsmanship, and to very bad cases
of egotism. The free coinage of silver
is found to be not so radical as some
supposed, but to admit it would be an.
other blow to self imposed statesman
ship and wisdom.

NOT TOO PREVIOUS.

Those who think Mr.. Bryan littl {
previous as presidential nominee
should recall that the people and moi
MIR. Bryan are the previous ones. Mr.
Bryan has had nobody working up bis
case. He has not worked the Taft
or the Shaw racket by going about
making speeches practically announc.
ing his candidacy. But if Mr.. Bryan
who has made no announcement, il
previous, what can be said of both
Secretaries Taft and Shaw who have
really been avowed candidates for
nearly year. With some people Mr..
Bryan can never do the right thing,
but be in fact comes as near it as the
average man. He will certainly do
the right thing when he reaches home.
He will begin an education of the PEG.
pie on the tariff. the one great ques-
tion, the tariff, which is the worst rob-
Der of all the many robbers who have
their hands in the peoples pockets.

THE RAIL WAYS STILL ARE Oh
DURATE.

The railroads still persistently refuse
to obey the law with reference to the
Churchman 2 cent mileage book The
only fear we ever had of the mileage
ed a cent book of 500 miles and up
ward. We have doubted whether the
Leg islature could prescribe anything
but the RATE. That IS whel her the
Legislature could prescribe anything
but that when the railroads sold tickets
they should be sold at rate not ex-
ceeding cents per mile, or rather that
10 no sale of tickets or collection of
fare should more than cents per mile
b. charged or collected. 1t is differ
ent question when the Legislature
undertakes to prescribe the kind or
character of ticket to be Issued. The
railroads may say that the Legislat ure
had just as much right 10 prescribe
the color of our Cars as the character
of tickets we shall use. But we have
no doubt that upon fair hearing the
courts will hold that rate may
be fixed by the Legislature. Of course
it is claimed that the constitution
takes all power over railroads from
the Legislature and invests it in the
corporation commission, but lust as
readily may it be claimed that it does
80 as to the courts. There was never
any intention to deprive the Legisla-
ture of inherent rights to pass laws,
but simply 10 enlarge the powers of
control of corporations and simplify
the methods, as well as expedite them
and give a closer Observance to their
Vaccinations. A two cent rate is
coming, and we have been all along
surprised that the corporation commits
sion did not at once give notice to
the roads of their intention to enforce
the cent rate, SO soon as it became
known that the Legislature had passed
the bill. We think the commission
very negligent, if not indeed culpable.

There have been ancient as we'll as
modern prophets. The ancient seemed
to be closer to the facts and nearer to
to the source of all wisdom. But the
modern prophet sometimes gets there
just the same. We clip the following

Sun, very good Republican journal,

such an unholy creed:

powers at Oyster Bay, to Messrs.
Platt and Depew. to the new and aus
tere hierarchy of Odell and associates,
to one Frank Wayland Higgins, the
putative governor of the State of New
York, and to all the soberminded and
self respecting Republicans to whose
confidence it can appeal. and with all
Difference and respect submits:
1.-The next governor Of the State of
New York will be a Democrat.
1.-The next governor of the State of
New York will be the next President

RAILROAD DISCRIMINATION.

A singular thing the railroads do.
and that is, they discriminate against
the unlettered man in the Gale OF their
3 cent mileage books. II a man cannot
write be cannot buy an lnterchang.
able mileage book at all, but must pay
his full three cent fare. Now just
why they favor the rich against the
poor, the fortunate against the unfor-
tunate, nobody but a refined expert In
railroad ledgerdemain can tell. We
would like to see how this is justified,
and we would also like to see how a
court would decide case brought by
person who could not read or write
who had rendered his $50 for an inter-
changable mileage book and it had
been refused him on this ground. Why
the party who cannot read or write
has not made test OF this discrimi-
nation may be explained only on the
theory that be has never had the $50
to tender for the book.

Shot by Officer.

Ashby Sbiffiet, a desperate mountain
character, charged with murderOus as
sault, was shot and seriously injured
at Stokesville last week by Special
Officer Thomas Paxton.
Paxton had arrested Shiffiet short
time before, and was preparing to take
the prisoner back to Harrisonburg,
when Shifflet made dash for liberty.
The officer called to him to halt. and
upon Shiffiet 8 failure to do so, fired in
the air. Shifflet stumbled and fell, and
was in the act of getting on his feet
when the officer fired again. The bull
let took effect in the back and pene-
trated the spinal column, just below
the floating ribs.
Shifflet was placed on a passenger
train and taken to Harrisonburg and
placed in Jail. Several physicians made
an examination of bis injury, but were
unable to give definite statement of
his condition. His lower extremities
are completely paralyzed.
During the lawn party row in East
Rockingham, four weeks ago, Shlfflet
struck John GOOdf in the head with a
rock, fracturlng his skull. He was
arrested and committed for the grand
jury. While being brought to Harri-
sonburg he leaped from Chesapeake
Western passenger train, running at
the rate of twenty miles an hour, and
escaped.
Shiffiet was brought to the King s
Daughters hospital here. where he re-
ceived attention and the bullet was
removed from his back. He is slightly
better at this writing. but may remain
a paralytic.3

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous lining Of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when lis entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
ditiOn, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

THE CHURCHMAN BILL UNCONSTIUT.
TIONAI.

Judge H. w. Holt of the Corpora
tion court of this city, has decided
in case just brought before him, that
the Churchman cent rate law is un-
constitutional. He bases his opinion
principally upon the case of the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern Ry. vs.
Smith, 173 United States Reports,
page 684 In that case the court held
such legislation to be CLASS legisla-
tion in that it gave to persons having
sufficient money to purchase 500 or
1000 mile books privileges and Oppor.
tunities not possessed by those not
having sufficient means. 1t has been
our opinion that the law might be
held invalid both for this reason and
the reason that it endeavOred to pre-
scribe the KIND of ticket the roads
should issue, thus Interfering with
their mode of collecting fares, thing
our Legislature may have no power to
do. But we have never doubted the
right of the Legislature to prescribe
THE RATE To BE CHARGED.
The victcry is therefore for the rail-
roads for the present, but it is likely
to be dearly bought. 1t will lead to
the adoption of MAXIMUM RATE, a
fat rate of cents, az soon as the Leg
islature meets again. The railways
will, however, audibly smile because
of the fact that the Legislature will
not meet for two years and a new one
will be elected at which time they may
get in some fine work in the way of
electing those who will be more sub
serYient than Mr.. Churchman and
some others.
That the railways were never afraid
of the Churchman law was apparent
from the start. They scarcely opposed
it during the session. and have turned
their noses up at it as at garbage
barrel ever since.
Mr.. Churchman is not a lawyer, but
that be made an honest effort to serve
the public is not doubted; that he
should not have found some lawyers
outside the railroad ring" in the leg
islature to have assisted him seems
strange. But the Legislature, as they
openly boasted. were so per cent. Mar.
tin men, and as Mr.. Martins love fol
railroads is too well known to need
further accentuation here, it Is moi
surprising that Mr.. Churchman got
no help from that eminent source. Ii
