sitiu:mi: court decision.
The supreme court rendered its decision
todav in the case of the Wabash, St. Louis
& Pacific Bailroad Co., plaintiffs in error
agaiiist the ueople of the .state of Jimiois.
The specific" alkgation'was that the railroad
company charged Elder JIcKinncy fifteen
cents per hundred pounds for transporting
goods from Peoria to New York city, and
on the same day charged Isaac Bailey and
P. O. Swanee 'twenty-live cents per hun
dred pounds for same class of goods from
Gilman, 111., to New York, Gilman being
eighty-six miles nearer than Peoria is to
New York. The discrimination, it
was claimed, wa-3 in violation of
the law of the state of Illinois, which
prohibits any charge for the transpoitatiou
of passengers or freight within the state of
Illinois proportionately greater than would
he chaiged "for the ti asportation of pas
sengers or like classes of freight over a
greater distance of the same road. The
gist of the decision is contained in the con
clusion, as follows:
"When it is attempted to apply to trans
portation through an entire terios of states
a principle of this kind, each one of the
states or half a dozen stales shall attempt
to establish 'its own rales of trans
pollution, its own methods to
prevent discrimination in rules
the deleterious iniluencc upon the freedom
of commerce among the Mates and upon
the transportation of goods through those
states cannot be over estimated. That this
species of regulations is one which must be,
it established at all, of a general and na
tional character and cannot be safely and
wisely remitted to local rules and local reg
ulations we think is clear from what has
already been said, and if it be a regulation
of commerce, as we think wc have demon
strated it is, and jc the Illinois court con
cedes it to be, it must be of that national
character, and the regulation can only ap
propriately be by general rules and princi
ples which demand that it, should be done
by the congress of the United States, under
the commerce clause of the constitution.
The judgement of the supieme court of
Illinois, which is adverse lo the railroad, is
reversed and the case is remanded to that
court for further proceeding-, in couformity
lo the above opinion by Justice 3Iillef.
Justice Bradlcj delivered a dissenting opin
ion in which the Chief Justice and Justice
Gray concmred. In this opinion it is con
ceeded 'that congress might if it :iw lit
regulate the matter under consideration,
but not haiing done so it is held that the
state docs not lose Us power to regulate the
charges of its own railroads in its own ter
ritory, simply because the goods or persons
transported have been brought from or arc
destined to a point beyond the state bor
ders. APPEAL lUeMTSPEP.

New Yop.k, Oct. 55. A Washington
special to the World says: Although prom
inent officials in the nav department made
light of lecent disclosures of smuggling by
naval officers the lank and fde in the ser
vice know that the apologies by oHicera of
high rank were made merely to prevent un
pleasant disclosures. An ex-corporal of
the marine corp3, now in business in this
city, gave a reporter the following chapter
onsmuggling in the navy as it came under
his owii observation: In 1SS0 I served on
board the United States ship Saratoga,
while the vessel made a European cruise.
At the naval pay station at Villa, France,
wc took on boaid quite a cargo of carpet,
rugs, etc.. marked Secretary Thompson.
Glove3, silks, laces, etc., were purchased
in large quantities, packed in sealed metal
boxes and water nroof paper. Upon the
return trip we stopped at Punchal, where
we took on board our last cargo, viz: wine.
The exact amount of wine stowed away
here, I am unable to state, but I have no
hesitation that it exceeded the quantity us
ually purchased by importers at one time.
Upon arriving in, the United States in
stead of putting into an important port, we
auchorcd in Hampton road", where they
arc never troubled by collector of customs.
The first transfer of cargo made was to the
liirlit house tender which came into the
roa Is, and to it were transferred casks of
wine marked "Babeoek." A few davs later
the Tallaposa came down from Washington
along side the Saratoga after dark and the
remainder of the cargo was taken by her.
The bulk of the cargo was marked us
consigned to such humble citizeus as Sec
retary Thompson, Gen. Sherman, Commo
dore English and others of the same stand
ing. Ot course improper use might have
been made of their names by the real smug
glers to daunt prying customs official.
Net year while still cu the Saratoga, I
went to Halifax. There we purchased the
same large amount of bottled goods, and
brought back an equally valuable cargo."

Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 23. In the
firt section of the national Women's Chris
lion Temperance Union convention tins
morning, Mrs. B. G. Peters read herreport
as superintendent of the dcpartra2nt for
work among the lumbermen. Tho danger
of this class of men is not so much in the
camp as hi the towns they visit. She urged
the appointment of statcand local superin
tendents and through these to raise a fund
tompport missionary work anion? these
men. Mr. Davis, the pioneer missionary
among the lumbermen, said nine-tenths of
the money paid them for services went to
saloons. Mrs. J. B. Nichols, the national
superintendent of fan work, suggested
night meetings for employes on fair
grounds; also that legislative action prohib
iting the sale of liquor on fair grounds be
taken and that all influence be used against
horse racing. Miss Mary McLees, report
ing on kitchen garden work, said the ob
jects of the department were to teach girls
how to work and make their linc3 brighier.
In the second section Mary Weeks Bur
nelte, M. D., ot Illinoi:
spoice
on heredity, advocating the establish
ment of reading' clubs, women's societies
and primary classes for the advancement
and study of this question. Miss Julia
Coleman of New York read a paper ou
"Temperance Literature," stating that ten
year3 ago the work had been started with
out a dollar, since then a large publishing
house had been established, owned and con
trolled by the W. C. T. U. Kate Bun
nell of Maryland spoke of the interesting
history of the White Cross movement in
the United States. Thirty-seven states have
taken up the coeial purity question: state
superintendents have reported two hun
dred of these unions in the past year. The
White Cross movement has been started in
England, and the mode of work here
has been taken from them. The following
states have raised the age of consent
through the influence of this movement:
Colorado from 12 to IS: Washington Ter
ritory from 15 to 10; Nebraska from 10 lo
12. In Massachusetts the legislature has
made the penalty equal to both sexes who
sin.
Fiom Iowa cornea the report that this sin
in that state has increased nine-tenths per
cent. The age of consent was raised at
the last legislative session from .12 to 13.
The speaker thought the time to redeem
fallen women was when they had t!r?t sin
ned. In third section ?Ju. F. E. Harper, na
tional superintendent of work among the
colored people of the north, reported, that
Miss alar' Allen Wet, superintendent
of training schools, reported on four
schools conducted the past year.and recom
mended that they be increased to ten dur
ing the coming year. She stated that Mrs.
Sherman offered the use of Mt. Carrol, 111 ,
seminary lo the national W. C. T. U. for a
training-school ou condition that an endow
ment be made.

Washington, Pa.. Oct. 23. At the as
sembly of the students ot Washington aud
Jefferson college this morning lion. Jas. G.
Blaine was present by invitation of the
trustees and faculty. 1 le was accompanied
by his uncle, Hon. Jno. O. Ewing, now 90
years of age. In his add road of welcome
President Mottat referred to the i-mer as
the oldest living graduate, and to Mr.
Blaine as the most distinguished. 3fr.
Blaine was invited to give some reminis
cences of his own college life. In response
he thanked President Moffat for his allu
sion to Mr. Ewing, the speaker's venerable
and respected kinsman, but he took e.vep
tions to the over-characterisation f hiuv
self. Continuing he said:
I remember too well when 1 was a stu
dent in these halls the long INt of men,
older graduates, whom 1 had the honor to
look upon and at whose feet I felt proud
to sit.
The cordial reception he hn.l received
had moved him deeply and the recullec
tioiu which rushed upon him as he stood
there almost stopped his power of speech.
He always regarded the college as his great
benefactor uiiU protector, the agency which
was given to him through life, the influ
ences, which have at alf times been of in
estimable service to him during his college
days from lSiotol817.
The gre it artery of travel was the na
tional road connecting the east and the

portunity to see and hear many of the emi
nent public men of that era. Mr. Clay.
Col. Benton, Bichard M. Johnson and John
J. Crittenden were not unfamiliar figures
pre-entcd for the admiration and homage
of their youthful minds. lie referred with
pleasure to their old college associates and
suggested to the students, if they hud not
already done it, to more determination to
conform their proceedings to the accepted
canons of parliamentary law. Afti r re
ferring feelingly to the faculty of his col
lege days, Mr. Blaine in closing ni-f
I hope you will profit by all the advan
tages 3 ou enjoy hero today, and 1 hope
that thirty-nine ears afttr your graduati-a
you may "look hack to your alma mnter
with the affection and the gratitude which
I this morning feel.
