RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION
It In Unconstitutional f.nd Unneces-
sary to Confiscate the Property
of the Railways.
Testifying before the Senate Com-
mittee at Washington, Inter-State Com-
merce Commission Prouty said in dis-
cussing the proposition to give to that
Commission tlie power to regulate rail-
way rates:
"I think the railways should make
their own rates. 1 think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi-
ness. I have never advocated any law,
and- I am not now in favor of any
law, which would put the rate making
power into the hands of any com-
mission or any court. While it may be
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some states at the pres-
ent time, while it is done in some coun-
tries, I am opposed to it. . . . The
railway rate is property. It is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest of its property is not good for
anything unless it can charge a rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when a rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company of its property pro
tanto. It is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of
railroad; it is not necessary that you
Biiould say that it shall not earn three
per cent, or four per cent. When
you put in a rate that is inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company of its rights, of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has Jurisdiction under the four-
teenth amendment to restrain that,
. , . I have looked at these cases
a great many times, and I can only
come to the conclusion that a railroad
company is entitled to charge a fair
and reasonable rate, and if any order
of a commission, if any statute of a
state legislature, takes away that rate,
the fourteenth amendment protects the
railway company."

%
San Francisco.—Disowned and driven
from home by a wife and children be-
cause lie, a Virginian born, dared
espouse the cause of the union, in the
war of the rebellion, N. L. Blackman.
a veteran of the civil war. a few days
ago died the death of a hermit in the
mountains near Cloverdale. in Sonoma
county, Cal., with no comforting hand
to soothe the last hours of mortal
agony.
His unswerving devotion to the stars
and stripes not only cost Blackmail
his family and loved ones, but his
friends as well. Shunning the society
of men, he plunged into the woods and
sought in the friendly solitude of the
forest relief from the cruel wrong in-
flicted upon him by unrelenting kin.
There, in a rude cabin, with no con-
veniences save those fashioned by his
own hands, he ran the course of his
exile, dying, as he had lived, a hermit.
When the war broke out in 18B1.
old Virginia, the border land between
north and south, was aflame with a
fierce hatred for the north. Blackmail,
then a young man about 25, cast his
lot with those who favored the union.
His family importuned him to recede
from his attitude, arguing that their
good name would be forever smirched,
but Blackman was obdurate. They be-
seeched him to take up arms and en-
list. but to all entreaties he turned a
deaf ear.
Finally he was drafted and com-
pelled to serve in the confederate
army. He absolutely refused to shoul-
der a rifle, however, and under com-
pulsion only served as a roustabout
carpenter and laborer.
Sullenly Blackman kept at his work
and stood the jibes and jeers of his old
friends as best lie could. One day,
however, it became unbearable, and he
slipped away, making his escape into
the union lines, where he took up
arms in the regular army. His escape
was discovered and a close watch kept
upon all prisoners in the hope that he
might be recaptured and punished.
There came a day. not long after-
ward. when the watchfulness of his
confederate acquaintances was re-
warded. and Blackman was brought
back into camp, this time not only a
deserter, but a union prisoner. In-
stead of shooting him, as would have
been the fate of any other prisoner
similarly captured, he was permitted
to resume his former occupation of
camp roustabout. He served thus for
a time, plotting all the while to make
his escape, for the jibes and jeers were
worse than ever.
The fortunate day at last came, and
Blackman not only escaped, but made
his way to a union ship, where he was
east likely to be caught again by his
onfederate enemies. Men were not
lent if ill aboard ship in those days,
and Blackman's services were wel-
omed. He was put in charge of a
rew of powder monkeys and superin-
ended the passing of ammunition
rom the vessel's hold to the gunners
on deck. In this capacity he served
until the war's close, and had the sat-
sfaction of seeing the stars and
stripes triumph and his traducers
beaten into submission.
Return home he dared not. for fear
of abuse and possible bodily harm, so
of land, miles away from the habita-
tions. out in the very hourt of nature's
wildest depths. Here he built him a
shack for shelter and eked out a bare
existence by cutting and selliug the
wood which abounded on his property.
He split pickets and hauled them to
town, pausing only long enough to
make his trade, secure a few supplies
and slip away again into solitude.
When old age pressed its gathering
infirmities upon his frame he began
to think about a pension. He. who
had given so much for his country,
surely was entitled to that scant re-
lief offered by a generous government
to those who had served their tlag and
bared their breasts to the fire of the
enemy. He made his application and
was told that he had no standing—
that he was a deserter from the union
ranks, not because he had been cap-
tured, but because he had served sub-
sequently in the confederate ranks.
Months and months went by. The
department conceded bis point that be
had not borne arms, but set tip the
claim that he had not reported for
final discharge. There was red tape
and a long investigation by cranky
officials, who a year ago finally gave
sanction to a pension.
Five hundred dollars was sent the
soldier-sailor who had lived a hermit,
who had suffered ostracism for his
convictions, the money representing
the sum he would~have received from
the date of his original application
Having 110 immediate need for sc
much money, Blackman put It in a
bank in Cloverdale. and there it lies
to-day—the lawful property of those
who spurned him in life and drove
him into exile.
Once more his old heart softened.
Me sent $100 to a daughter in Virginia,
believing that she could use it. But
the money was returned. He was ap-
parently still unforgiven.
-But he had a soldier's funeral, did
this poor old man. He had. during
his last few years, mixed a bit now
and then with a few of his kind in the
town where he had come to procure
supplies, and the grizzled, bent grand
army veterans saw to it that he was
burled with proper honors. They
draped Old Glory over his plain deal
coffin and he was laid away to wait
the judgment day when the wrongs of
men are made right by the Almighty

Eagle Tries to Steal Girl.
Long Prairie, Minn.—While school
children were on their way home after
school the other day a huge eagle
swooped down and seized the five-year-
old daughter of Loy Ileamer and at-
tempted to carry her away. The bird
fastened its talons to the child's shoul-
der and her skirt, and lifted her several
feet from the ground, when her fran-
tic appeals for help were answered by
several boys, who went to her assist-
ance. They grasped her clothing, and
their combined weight was more than
the eagle could lift. It released the
girl and sailed away. When young
lilalr seized the girl the bird struck
him on the head with Its wing, knock-
ing hi in to the ground. The boys and
girls had been watching the eagle sail-
ing to anil fro about 50 feet above tin
ground, when suddenly just as he was
directly above them he closed his
wings and dropped to Hie ground. The
children aitempted to iiee. but as soon
as they saw the bird seize their school-
mate, the boys luriied back to rescue Uer.
