2-CENT FARE CASE
 TO SUPREME COURT Order of Virginia Corpora
 tion Commission Will Fin

 Highest Court of Appeal
INJUNCTION IS ON
Circint Court of Appeals Snstains Contention of Railroads That the Commission Is Acting Beyond Jurisdiction.

Richmond, Va, July 1.-Judge Pritchard of the United States Court of Appeals, in an opinion handed down today, continued the restraining order preventing the uniform 2-eent passen- ger rate, as adopted by the State Cor poratfon Commission, from going into effect.
 The question is one involving the jurisdiction of the corporation com- mission to fix the rates governing the operation of railroads in Virginia, and the opinion was handed down as 3. re- suit of the argument held in Ashevflle recently. This case will now be fought out On it's merits, and it is un- derstood that, no matter how the United States Circuit Court of Appeals may decide, the case finally will be brought to the Supreme Court of the United States.
 The Southern Railway was requir- ed to furnish bond in the sum of s200,000 it being stated by an attor- nev for that company that the dimi- mutton in receipts as 8 result of the decreased rates would be s135,000 The Norfolk Western Railway fur nished bond in the sum of S275,00 The bonds are for the protection oi the public in the. event that the Su- Dreme Court of the Uinted States fin ally upholds the action of the State Corporation Commission in adoptins tae 2-cent rate.

RUFUS CHOATE ON THE BIC
 STICK"

Tn these strenuous times, when the Big Stick is being yielded vigorously to centralize the powers of all three branches of government in the executive, it might not be out Of place to call attention to some extracts of a report made to the senate on that very subject in 1844 by Senator Rufus Choate, as chair man of the committee on foreign relations. It seems that an overly ambitious president at that time tried to usurp the constitutional powers of congress by making a trade treaty with Prussia. The report of the foreign relations com mittee on the affair, submitted by Senator Choate in executive session, is in part as follows:
 "The representative of the people sitting in their legislative capacity, with open doors under the eye of the country, communicating freely with their constituents, may exercise power more intel1igently, more dis creetly, may acquire more minute information and may better discern what true policy prescribes and re- iects than is within the competence of the executive department of the government.
 'tTo follow, not to lead; to fulfill, not to ordain the law; to carry into effect the legislative will when it has been announced, upon the great subject of trade and revenue; not to interpose with controlling influence not to go forward with too ambl- tious enterprise-these seem to the committee to be the appropriate functions of the executive

Eugene Schmitz, the mayor of poor, much-tried San Francisco, who is taking. under eompulsion, long- needed rest from pernicious activity in the. jail of his city. authorizes the announcement that he is a candidate for reelection, He. adds that the nee essary work of his preliminary cam paign for fourth term is already in progress, in point Of fact, notwith- standing the somewhat ineonvenient restraint to which he is being subject ed by cruel world.
 Possibbly Schmitz intends to stand than the ink of public records and court judgments, and perhaps tn work Of which he speaks is earriet on by potential convicts in the hope os capturing the full convict vote says the Chicago Record.
 On any other theory, the cheek an, impudence of Schmitz takes one'y breath away.
 Schmitz was convicted of graft an, extortion. He is awaiting sentence The evidence against him, includin the clear confession of Ruef, hi former master and fellow conspirator was convincing.

~ frenzied finance, horse shows and
the like, Douglas county rises to sub
lime heights Of esthetic, devotion, re.
wing the Bull Run controversy and
changes the name of the classic town
Of Starvout to the more tragic name

starvout was euphonious and appro-

ornamental and necessary structures
which kept back the sage-brush from
the bosom of Douglas county, but that
day has passed, and now it is Booth

partment.
But Douglas county does not seem
to be the only one, nor does the great
and important question of whether the
name Bull Run communicates the
water Portland drinks seem to affect
ell parts Of the country alike. The
post office records show that many
different municipal christenings have
been celebrated throughout the coun-

cities have been entered upon the
roll and, sad thought, some have had
their names changed or lost in the
darkness OF the records of other
years.

GROUND PHOSPHATE ROCK.
It Has 4 High Value When Mixed in
With Barnyard Manures.

We are more than ever convinced
of the great value to every farmer of
using ground phosphate rock in his
stables and in his manure heaps. The
natural phosphate has been worked
out of large proportion of our soils.
Farmers notice growing uncertainty
in their grain crop. They lay it to
the seasons, but the real difficulty is
that the soil has lost some of it's
original elements. The soil is like
the animal body in it's demand for
food. The three things, nitrogen,
phosphorus and potash, that the body
requires in food, the land requires.
All this summer long, just as in pre-.
vious summers. every farmer has
been piling up manure from his
horses and some from his cattle in
the barnyard and it has been rained
upon and the hot sun has shone on it
and a very large part of it's value has
gone into the air.
How easy it would have been tc
have provided ones self with phos.
phate rock and sprinkled the manure
heaps each week with a sufficient
amount to absorb and hold the am
monia, which is nitrogen. Then,
when the farmer hauls out that
manure in the fall to the meadow
land that he is to plant with corn
next spring, he not only has saved
a great waste of nitrogen but he has
added the very phosphorus the soil
needs. AS farmers, says a writer in
Hoard's Dairyman, we must begin to
organize our knowledge and thought
more in the line of getting back to
the original fertility of our land. Sea-
sons have their effect, but they do not
play a. great part as we think.
Somehow it will be noticed that good,
rich, well-drained land gives fair crop
in almost any kind of a season. The
first thought of good farmer should
be the keeping up of the fertility of
his land. It is almost a crime to
handle manure so as to waste the
most valuable part of it.
