Missouri Pacific and St Louis
Iron Mountain Plead
Guilty.
MUST PAY $500 EACH
Attorney General Holds that Violation
OF EIkinS Law Was Technical
Not MoraI.-End OF
Prosecution.

Washington. June THE de
partmeut OF justice was advised
yesterday that the Missouri Pacific
and St. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern Railway companies had en-
tered a plea of guilty before Judge
Trieber at Little Rock, Ark. for
making Illegal rebates to a grain
merchant and We're fined $1,000.
This closes the prosecution at Lit
tie Rock, which involved indict-
ments against these two railroads as
well as the merchant who received
the rebate and the former traffic
officials representing the companies
who granted it. The latter Two Of
ficals had heretofore pleaded guilty
and been fined $4,000 and So
500, respectively.
The attorney general stated that
before cousenting to the imposition
of the $4,000 fine against the rail-
road companies he had caused to
be made a careful examination of all
the circumstances under which the
rebate was given and was fully con
vinced that the railway companies
were not morally, but only techn1'
cally. guilty of any offense against
1.-THE Elkins law. 1t appeared from
this investigation that the payments
/ were made by the former traffit
manager, not only without the dl
irection or knowledge of the present
IsuDerior officers of the railway com
Danies. but in direct violation or eN'
lpress orders given by c. S. Clarke
the vice president who, upon assum-
| ing control of the property IN ST
I,ouis. had given explicit instructions
that nc rebates of any character
should be given and no preferences
of any kind shown to any shippers.
The department, nevertheless IN
sisted that the railroad companies
were bound by the act OF their
agents and must pay the penalty
but the attorney general feels that
in Justice to the present manage
ment of these companies he ought 10
state that they were not morally
euiltv of any intent to violate the
law.

ARE DISTRESSING.
People Living in Drouth Stricken
District are Abandoning Crops.

Four families from Hood county
passed through WaXahachie late Fri
day afternoon en- route to East Tex
as They were travelling in wagons
and carried all their earthly possess
sions with them They brought re-
ports of distressing conditions in
that county. In that portion of the
country where they were living the
crops have completely failed. They
said they planted cotton twice and
none of the seed terminated. Con-
ditions finally became so disheart-
ening they loaded their household
effects on wagons, abandoned their
crops and started for the eastern
lDart of the state with the view of
securing employment of some kind.
/ They stated that the drouth strick-
I en- district extended from Hood
county to within about four or five
miles of WaXahachie According to
the observations made by them the
fields along the road they travelled
are entirely bare of any kind of
vegetation.
! Statements made by these travel
ers as applied to the southwestern
part of Ellis county are substanti-
ated by people who reside in that
| territory. There are hundreds of
thousands of acres in that part of
| Ellis, Johnson, Hood and Tarrant
that will not produce enough to pay
| for the seed planted. Only few
! fields of corn came up and in these
| the stand is irregular and the plant
is small Some farmers have plant
ed cotton or 3 times and still
| they have no stand. Several fam
| lilies have already left that portion
of the county and gone to the dis
tricts where copious rains have fal-
len to find employment as day
! laborers.

AMERICAN TARIFF LAWS
THE MILLS BILL.
By FREDERIC j. HAsKIN.

istration. and was only technically in
session.
The election of Benjamin Harrison
was construed as a verdict in favor OF
the senate substitute for the Mills Dill,
and as soon as congress reassembled the
senate began the consideration of the
measure. The Republican senate knew
it's bill could not pass the Democratic
house. and that even if it did ii would
be vetoed by the outgoing president,
Mr.. Cleveland; but the bill was con-
sidered for a month and a half, and
then passed. The house gave the SEN
ate an old fashioned tongue-lashing
for substituting another measure for the
one II had sent that body-just as other
houses had done when the senate Vio-
lated in effect, If not technically the
constitutional provision that all revenue
LEGISLATION shall originate in the house.
There it ended, and the Mills bill be-
came forever a measure that might
have been.
The debate on the Mills bill while
pending in the two houses Of congress,
constitutes not only the most volumnous
tariff debate in the history of the
world, but it is regarded by many as
the ablest and most comprehensive IN
the whole list of tariff discussions.
William Fl. Springer, long a member Of
the house predicted that it would al
ways stand as the foremost of all tariff
debates. 1t was in the course of the
consideration of the Mills bill that
Thomas B. Reed first awoxe the ma
ton to his powers as a DICTATOR He
told a paraphrase of Aesop's fable of
the dog which had a bone and lost it
by trying to get the bone from his i'm
age in thhe water. Reed pictured one
of the finest dogs going, carefully
groomed, fat, sleek and with a nice
mutton chop i'm his mouth. The dog
came to a bridge, and in crossing 1t he
saw his image in the water. Making a
dive for the reflection he lost his chop,
and finally got out the nastiest,. most
bedraggled. muttonless dog in the
world" To him the Democratic party
was that dog. 1t saw the markets of
the world reflected, and was seeking to
the while neglecting the markets at
home, and figuratiyely in its mouth.
There were Isl speeches made on the
Mills bill in the course Of general de-
bate in the house. There were 24C
hours of actual talk expended upon 1t,
or thirty days of eight hours each
William Mckinley, in speaking On it in
| his Tariff in the Days of Clay and
After" says that the debates would fill
some twenty-five quarto volumes the
size of an unabridged dictionary. But
he seems to be mistaken about that
as the entire proceedings of the first
! session of the Fiftieth congress occupy
only nine volumes of one thousand pag-
es each.
The Mills bill was the first tariff
measure upon which the party lines
, were drawn so closely as to make II
| strictly party measure. Since then al
tariff bills have received practically the
unanimous support of the party father
| ing them and the unanimous antago-
nism of the opposing party.-(Copy-
