ABOUT ARBOR DAY IX XEBRASKA. Lincoln correspondence of the Omaha Bee Honorable J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska City passed yesterday in the Ii capital coming to the city on invitation of 'the state university to deliver the Arbor HII jj' day address at that institution. Your representative met Mr.

Morton during the day and a number of facts concerning the inception and institution of the day were gleaned from the Otoe chieftain. Yesterf day was the fifteenth anniversary of Arbor day in Nebraska and as the day is an outi I growth of Nebraska the fifteenth annijr versary of the day in tho land. At the meeting of the State Horticultural society at the old capitol building in the city of Lincoln on January 4. 1872 a resolution tc was introduced creating Arbor day Mr. ls Morton presenting the resolution.

Mr. McMaslers of Otoe county wanted this hi day called Sylvian day and Judge Mason also favored that name but the original resolution prevailed and Arbor clay was created. Since that beginning on the part ai of Nebraska twenty other states in the union have adopted Arbor day and yes terday celebrated it in common with the pi present day in the planting of trees. In the course or his excellent pointed and in terse address last evening Mr. Morton dwelt upon the hstory of the day and gave many facts concernine its origin and thes first years of its observance in Nebraska.n Mr.

Morton compared treo life with human life the influences one had upon the other jn and the beneficent results attending the fi making even one treo to grow where none other had grown before. re AXOTIIER COAT FIXD. en Oakland special Coal has been discovbi ered one and one-half miles west and eight miles northeast of Lyons this county and ai it is said tlse people of Lyons are very much is dated but not unduly excited as they are hi determined to treat the matter as rational men would.

ovs wtmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmsmmmmmmmmmm mwiiUMitiniwimnjiiMiiii 'ini i i i im in 'Mi S03TE VEUVLEXIXG QUESTIOXS. Which Have lSeen Disposed Of by the Inter- Slate Commission. Washington dispatch The following Ib a synopsis embodying tho material points of by far the inostimportnntnctionj'ettaken by the inter-state commcrco commission A decision is rendered in the case of two petitions one from the order of Railway Conductors and one from the Traders' and Travelers' union which aro of a kind that render the decision especially interesting on account of their being representatives of a very laigc number of applications made to the commission. The latter petition deals with the manner in which the form sys- tern of allowing additional free baggage has been interfered with by tho inter-stato commerce law. The potition of the order of Railway Conductors asks for informa tion as to tho proper interpretation of tin law as applying to the issuance or passes to railway employes an.i theirfamilics and to those who make railway service their business while temporarily out of employ- ment and in search of situations and if transportatfon at reduced rates is pro- vided for repieentativts of any one nsso- ciation must the same be extended to all others which are composed exclusively railway employes In reply to Bishop Knickerbocker or In- dianapolis who inquired ato the right of a railroad to transport missionaries at special i reduced rates the com mission writes that it has no power in the preinj ises.

"There is no doubt Judge Cooley adds "of thp right of railroads to grant special i privileges to religious teachers ami in i deciding in good faith what they will do. they can scarcely be Paid to incur the risk of penalties. The penalties are for willful violations of the law and not for errors of judgment. In the matter of the Iowa Barb Steel Wire company of Matshalltown la. which asked authority for railroads to continue certain "equalized rates" of transportation the commission says "It is apparent that what is prayed for is an exceptional privi- ie not granted to manufacturers in gen- eral and which must be of very urent value to the Hue of trade which is thus Tavored.

No doubt what is said in the p.tition is true 1 that the described industry has pros- pered 1 in consequence and that the city where it is located 1ms received some shar- of the benefit. But whether a special lege of this sort granted to matin faeturers on a single line but not generally is consistent with the rule of equity and justice which the inter-state commerce law undertakes to establish is a question upon which an opinion ought to be expressed only after the most careful consideration. The consequences of an answer favorable to the petitioner might to some extent affect other interests and give rise to complaints of disciiminntion and the commission ought clearly to see that duty requires an answer here re it proh ceeds io give one on ex parte applications. The petitioner in this case makes no coin0 0 plaint of violation of law by railroad com panies. The complaint is that a privilege ct is not granted but this privilege is one ni which if lawful railroad companies might ti withhold on their own view of what was dictated by their interest or their policy On the other hand if the privilege is one which railroad companies cannot grant voluntarily because of its coming under 'n the condemnation of the law neither can tr the commission give authority to grant it.

The case set out in this petition is not one of the exceptional cases for which the law tj provides. The commission is therefore u. powerless to make any order upon it. ti Under such circumstances it is nropor and in accord with its usual practice to withjj hold any expression of opinion. i In its reply the commission says "A en careful reading of the 'act to regulate comof merce under which this commission is ortli ganized will show to petitioners and others fo who have made similar applications tiiat ru no jurisdiction has been given us to answer hi questions like those under consideration h- Two sections of the law router power upon wl the commission to entertain and decide a p- be plications and petitions.

Section 4 emlM powers us upon application by a common carrier to authorize such common carrier in special cases to charge less for a longer th than a shorter distance over the same line 's and also to prescribe the extent of relief Rei Trum the operation of a former part of the mi same section which the designated common la carrier may from time to timcc-njoy. It is ,1 obvious that applications like thoso of th the Railway Conductors and Tradeis'and Su Travelers' union have no relation whatever ex to duties imposed upon us by section 4 8" and this is the only section of the law ici which the com mission has power to bus51 tiend or veto. Section 13 authorizes comto ilaints to the commission and confers jurisdiction to entertain the same. But mc neither the Railway Conductors nor the Traders' and Travelers' union complain ex' hau any common carrier has violated he law. They present no complaint anything done or omitted in qntraveutiou of the provisions of the law.

fa railroad company should issue a pass J' a conductor and his family to attend bcl approaching convention or should an transport 300 pounds of baggage free for bo commercial traveler under the registry tin md indemnity system and some person eeling aggrieved should make complaint unjust discrimination it would then be iroper for the commission to entertain the pie.stion of whether such conduct was or lie wis not a violation of the law and if so -y0 vhether it was or was not within the ex- eptioiis as stated within section 22. Comc' ilaints may also be presented if the charges lie nade by carriers are not considered rea- J' ionable and just. But until questions of his kind come before us in a way clearly cm ndicated by the statute it would be worse cnl ban useltss for us to express our opinions irgive advice. We should not only lay COJ inrselves justly open to the charge of ascaf uming unwarranted authoritybut should tin ilso run great risk of involving all conil1" erned in what the courts might afterward mid to be breaches of the law by hasty and ll-ccnsidered conclusions based upon ex- larte statements and arguments. "Congress has not taken the management the railroads out of the hands of tho aiiroad companies.

It has simply cstabtna ished certain general principles under rhich inter-state commerce must be conpre noted. It has enacted in section 1 Isis hat all charges for inter-state transjift inrtatiou i 'shall be reasonable and gu list. It lias prohibted in section jH.r all manner of unjust discrimination. It pro as forbidden in section 3 nil undue and five measonable preferences and advantages cou has required in the same section reasonmil blp and equal facilities for interchange of A railic. and has prohibited in section 5 the olle jur iooling of freights.

That in ii1 ubstance is the inter-state comcou ierce law. There is nothing novel mai these nrovisions. They simply bring 1 the ack the business of the common carriers the well settled principles of thecommon UCM iw. Yet no one can deny that there was urgent need of their statutory formulawjt ion. The alleged difficulties in putting Wer hem in operation only disclose examples row tt' extent to which they have been vionew Ued in the past.

Sioux ity dispatch The jury in tho ense of John ArotiBdorf charged with the mur der of Rev. George C. Haddock disagreed and were finally discharged by tho court at 11:50 a.

m. to-day. The jury stood eleven for 1 acquittal and one for conviction. Den nis O'Connell was the juryma-i who stood out Tor conviction and when tho jury was before 1 tho court he said his judgment was final. 1 The court thereupon discharged tho jury from further service.

There wero but few porsons in the court room when the judgo asked tho Haddock jury to report. When tho foreman an nounced that eleven jurors were agreed to acquit the prisoner Juror O'Connell who is a farmer living in Liberty township aroso and said in a feeling manner that he did not wish to be considered a stubborn man but he hnd taken tho oath beforo God and mail to honestly determine the case as far as he was concerned and that he endeav ored to regard that obligation. If he wero forcmniii in tho jury room a month ho could not and would not change his opin ion. No one who heard Juror O'Connell and witnessed his emotions could doubt the sincerity of bis motive. Judge Lewis thereupon discharged the jury.

It is rumored that the first ballot stood two for conviction the other juror of that opinion being C. G. Goods who examined as a juror Baid that he had an opinion nnd did not think he could give a fair and impartial veulict. It is said that every possible argument was exhausted by tho other jurors to change the opinion of O'Connell but in vain. After the dischargo of the jury Foreman Webster went to Judge Lewis a ml openly expressed the be lief that O'Connell was bought up by tho state.

The judge responded that ho be lieved the juror honest in his convictions. In an interview O'Connell reiterated his Btatenient to the judge and being ques tioned said he was given to understand before the case was closed that the defense knew tho jury would stand eleven to one for acquittal. Questioned on the subject that Foreman Webster liad said to the judge that he had been bribed by the prose cution O'Connell said ho had scarcely so much as saluted the prosecution during the trial and asked "Would there not be more likelihood on the other side He said significantly he didn't want to im plicate anyone but admitted he had been asked to name his price. O'Connell said this offer had been made on behalf of tho defense but declined to say at present who made it. THE WORK COm'TsETED.

Addresses were then deliverer I bv ex-United States Attorney-General ifrewestcr. who eloquently outlined the ex-president's exalted career and by tho Hon. Chauncey M. Depew who paid a high 1 tribute to the character and achievements of the deceased.

In the course of his ad- dress Mr. Depew said "When the Ond came for Gen. Garfield Arthur entered the white bouse as ho had taken the oath of office alone. A weaker man would have succumbed a narrower 2 one would have seized upon tho patronuge- I aud endeavored to build up his power by i strengthening his faction.

The strain ami intensity of tl public feeling the vehemence of the angry and vindictive passions of the time d- I manded the rarest of negative as well as positive qualitits. The calm and even i course of the government alloyed all excite- a ment and appealed to tho better judgment i of the people.

On 4 questions of currency and finance he met tin needs of public and private credit and i the best commercial sentiment of tho conn- try.

The president of whom little 'I was expected and much feared returned to I private life enjoying in a larger degree than most of his predecessors the profound re- spect and warm regard of the people with- 1 il out distinction of party. lie said to me 'I early in his administration 'My sole am- bition is to enjoy the confidence of my I countrymen.
