A strange story is told of how
a daughter in this state captured
her blind father, Abel Allen., and
and kept him a prisoner to draw
his soldier pension of $72 per
month, until the old gentleman's
guardian located him and took him
back to Dakota with a habeas cor
pus writ. Considerable strife over
a poor old blind man.

opinion that the republican nomi

Probably a very correct guess, at
least almost every republican will'
say "just so."

The test of this law is carefully
watched by the people, and all
bearing upon it is of interest. That
it is of material benefit the majori
ty of people believe, ami the facts
will bear out this decision in the
future..
Bradstreets give a very fair rep
resentation and thinks the opera
tion during the brief space of nine
months of so important and so com
prehensive a measure as the intei
state commerce law. could hardly
be regarded, in the abstract, as
furnishing anything iike a suffi
cient basis of experience upon
which to rest definite conclusion as
to the merits of the law as a whole;
and this conclusion is borne out l.y
facts. Especially is it difficult toj
find a basis for judging of the bene
fits or disadvantages of the law by
inquiry directed to individuals and
localities directly affected by the
law. An illustration of this is af
forded by the result of an inquiry
lately made by the Age of Steel
into the effects of the law on busi
ness at a number of cities in the
United States. The replies re
turned, to a question as to the ef
fect of the law on busin; ss of indi
vidual firms and corporations are
about equally divided between
holding the law detrimental, hold- j
ing it beneficial, and holding it to!
have had no effect, or only a very !
slight one. To also as regards the
benefits or detriment occasioned t
the business of localities by the
law the answers are about equally
divided, while a number of those
questioned answer that time
nough has not elapsed to enable
them to form an opinion. Of
course in an inquiry directed, as
this is, almost wholly to individ
ual instances, the point of import
ance lies in the number of the in
stances. The number of answers
given to the inquiry was only forty
a rather narrow basis upon which
to rest a judgment.
The journal referred to, however,
presents seme considerations upon
tiie inter-state law and its opera
tions, which are of more interest
and value than the results of the
investigation. These are contained
in a number of articles contributed
by well known students of railroad j
problems, such as James F. Huu-
son, Prof. E. K. A. felitru an. of 'n o n i r a
Columbia college, and IVof. E. J. j 8016. SOUM. 0 01 881178
James, of the university of Penn
sylvania. Mr. Hudson expresses
the opinion that the period since
the passage of the law has not been
sufficiently Ions; to enable us to d -termine
whether it is a success.
Especially is it too soon, the writer
holds, t en.tble us to pass judg
ment upon what he considers the
crucial point of the law. viz ;wheth
er it will put a stop to the evil of
building up privileged classes in j
trade. Prof. Seligman declares j
that local discriminations are un
doubtedly less than before the pas-! PatlOlliae Home EntSipiiSS

made a good beginning. As re
gards personal discriminations, he
say;?, it is more difficult to form an
opinion. The commission has de
cided that the principle of whole
sale rates or allowance for quantity
is illegal, but this, Prof. Seligman
says, does not toiK-h the underly
ing difficulty of dealing with per
sonal rebates, and he declares that
a great mistake has been made by
the late report oi the commission ; cf kran.v. MOXTEiTii.toc-aiPassen-erAsts;
in declaiing that these personal
discriminations have ceased. Ev
eryone in contact with the large
shippers in the east knows, he
says, that personal discriminations
still continue in unabated vigor,
but cloaked under -r skillful dis
guises. It is in ic:. '.Ion to this!
matter of personal discrimination j
that the prohibition of pools, he j
says, jeopardizes the success of the j
law. His conclusion is that so lar
as the law has had any effect it has
worked well. Prof. James thinks
that public opinion generally in
dorses the action of Congress in
