wury OK FRlpAY tho Gazette re.

WHEN OK FRIDAY tho Gazette re-
ceigea from Richmond and publish
I'd the dispatch stating that Judge
Beverley T. CrumP. chairman OF the
State Corporation Commission, bad ten
,ered his resignation TO the Governor,
We. 10 common with many people
throughout the state, regretted to learn
that be had taken this step, believing
him 10 be an able, eficieu! and ire
ufoachable ofIicer-such q man th,.t had
only the interest of tho State at heart.
But since reading the following from
Richmond we exceedingly regret that
Judge Cump had not resigned some
time since: -.
II IA understood that tho real reason
Tor the resignation OF Judge CruDp was
his connection as counsel, or otherwise,
with the American Guild Which ao'
sorbed the Modern PurItans, and which
was recently investigated BY the insur'
ance bureau under the State Corpora
ton Commission. 1t ia stated thst Judge
Crump resigned after the investigation
was asked ioy. 1t is said that the other
members of the Corporation Commission
did not know OF Judge Cmmp'S connec-
ton with the American Guild until the
report from the insurance bureau reach
et them
The investigation Of tho company vas
not begun by the bureau under the com
mission Of Virginia, but Of Maryland.
Judge Cfnmp IL said to have received q
salary of 81, 500 or mora from this coz
Germ during the time that. "a a member
of the commission, no Was passing on
The issuance Of insurance charters and
other matters. Judge CrumP was op'
posed, il is asid, TO the formation OF q
bureau Of insurance 10 Virginia, and
did. il il claimed, what he could TO irus'
trate the appointment Of Colonel Joseph
Button. then clerk Of the Senate, as in
surancu commissioner.
It will be remembered that over o
year sgo Judge Crump brought reprosch
upon himself by becoming a stakeholder
in corporation upon whose acts be had
to pass and that 4 legislative committee
recommended that he tender his resig-
nation from the COmHissiOD, but his
friends in and ont OF the Legislature be
flowing that his act was only one OF In
discretion prevented the passage OF the
committees resolution. That should
have been a sufficient warning to Judge
Dump, but his latest act shows him at
1esst to be a man without judgment or
discretion and that his desire 10 get
uaouoy honestly il he can but to get
money, mskes him entirely unfit to oc'
cupy position on the corporation or any
other commission, The gTocd OF gain
seems to be parvaiiug every branch OF
every government and makes men do
things which brings tho blush Of shame
10 the faces Of their friends if not 10
their OVID, when the inevitable exposure
IA made.

decision handed down In connection
with this act, The cause of action oc-
CURED in Kansas. Plaintiffs husband
was killed in railway accident and
suit was brought under this act for
$4,000 damages and an amount suffi-
cient to cover the cost of expenses in
eident to death,
The court holds In brief that the act
in effect would regulate commerce
within the state and is therefore un.
constitutional and the demurrer of the
Southern Pacific railway to the action
for damages was therefore sustained
In sustaining the demurrer, Judge
Evans said that from every point OF
view the Judgment of the court must
be that the plaintiff has not manifest.
ed by the ayerments of her petition
any right TO recover.
Judge Evans said in part: THE act
only created and imposes a liability
upon certain common carriers to their
employees, and in no way prescribes
rules for carrying on traffic or COM
meroe among the states, and conse-
quently in no way regulates such com
meroe, II the operation of the act
could In any wise affect commerce
among the states, it would do so in
manner so remote, incidental and con-
tingent rs In no proper sense to afford
a factor Of any value in determining
question now in contention. Creating
new Liabilities growing out of the re-
lations of master and servant on the
one hand, and regulating commerce
on the other, are two things so entire
ly different that confusion of the judi
cial mind upon them is hardly to be
expected under normal conditions. In
the opinion OF the court. the act does
not regulate commerce among the
states.
while the title is not controlling In
the construction OF an act of congress,
1t may aid US in our investigation to
note that the title In this instance
labels the act as one relating to the
liability or certain common carriers TO
their employees. This label, so TO
speak, quite accurately describes the
contents OF the measure, for It In fact
does nothing more than fix the liabil-
ity OF certain common carriers to their
employees"

that accumulates where the hay is
thrown on the barn floor makes the
best kind of scratching material The
hens search out the fine seeds and eat

OWNING A HOME.

n often Depends on the womau OF
the Family.
The newspapers tell of woman
who has reared respectfully happy
family Of eight children, her husband
meanwhile working forty years at $50
a month. How she did It Is some
thing only a woman can understand.
but IL this woman had been the man
In the case It Is certain she would not
Mt the end Of forty years still have
been working for $50 month. She
would have been one of the partners
in the business, IL not, indeed, it's sole
owner, whatever it was. The indus
try, economy and clear grit she exer-
clsed in bringing up eight children ON
almost nothing IL put into a money
getting enterprise would have made
her at least half millionaire.
Even at the end Of the forty years
of hard work and self denial she was
no better off than when she started In
as a bride, but If that woman had had
even half chance she would at least
have owned a home by this time.
With ordinary health and advantages,
common sense and quite uncommon
determination and perseverance. 1t is
possible in this country even now for
a family to own its home in the course
of some years.
The first thing for wife to decide
on In thinking about owning home
is, "Is 1t likely my husbands employ
ment will continue in this place, so
that we may consider our residence
here permanent If the answer seems
to be yes, then it will be the best econ
omy to prepare for permanent home.
After the determination to possess the |
home is firmly fixed ways and means
will open. The next thing to do Is to |
localities carefully, the prob |
able rise in property values, distance
from husbands business and such mat
ters.

Clay went to Kentucky on his vaca-

game began. In the game were
Mr.. Clay, Josiah Blackburn, John
Hardin and Sam Clay, a cousin of
the statesman. 1t began on Friday
night and ran along with varying
luck. They were all old hands and
had the nerve to back their cards.
AT 12 o'clock Saturday night Black
burn quit little ahead. He had
been married only two months and
was afraid his young wife would
think he was dead. Sunday morn
ing at o'clock some one raped on

a clean shirt in her hand, and on
the bosom was note from Har-

door was closed and play resumed.

Baoon's Rival.

Two German clippings appear
among the items in a playwright's
scrapbook, They are from a Vien-
ma paper dated January, 1889, and
the first one, translated, says:
"We strongly advise our readers
to see the amusing comedy, The
Merchant of Venice now being per-
formed at the Star theater. The
author, we believe, is Grillparzer"
The second clipping says:
"Mr. Editor: Sir-Will you kind
ly state in an early issue of your
valuable paper that The Merchant
of Venice was not written by Grill
parzer, but by me William Shake
speare."
To this is appended an editorial
note:
"We were wrong, it appears, in
attributing The Merchant of Ven
ice' TO Grillparzer. and we trust Mr..
Shakespeare will accept our apology
and correction"

FEEDING SWINE,
Clean Food Required to Produce
Good Mont

Clean Food Required to Produce
Good Ment.
The main expense In raising swine Is
their feed, and it is the duty of the
feeder TO get the most out OF it that he
possibly can. Some farmers make
mistake in throwing feed to their hogs
and letting them take care of It. When
hogs are fed in this way they do not
receive the full benefit of the feed, for
q portion of it is wasted. We must re-
member that one days poor feeding
will more than counterbalance two
days of good feeding.
Regularity in feeding swine is of very
great Importance, though some are
slow in realizing this fact. The diges-
tive systems Of animals adapt them
selves to receive food at certain times,
and If the food Is not given at the ex
pected time the animal is worried
thereby. This results in loss of one
kind or another Frequently the food,
being late, Is taken in too large quanti-
ties or too hurriedly for the best good
of the animal. For this reason IL is to
our advantage, as well as the hogs, to
make IL rule TO feed him at exactly
the same time each day.
We must be careful what we feed.
Any old thing that no other animal will
look at Is not good enough for hog
feed We cannot expect good meat un-
less clean food Is used. Some farmers,
no doubt, congratulate themselves that
they have all the corn their hogs will
consume and that there is no better
feed. They will start the hogs exclu-
sively on corn at the commencement of
the fattening period, using no care not
to give them too much of 1t, and finally
the result is that the appetite and di-
gestion of tile hogs are injured, and
they are given backset that they will
not readily overcome. Corn should be
fed in small quantities at first, gradu-
ally increasing the amount as the hogs
stomachs become stronger until they
nre on full feed, says a writer in Farm |
Press. Better results are produced by |
Feeding corn in relatively small quaint |
ties in conjunction with mill foods,
alfalfa and clover hay and such foods |
as turnips, artichokes, etc.
