BILLS TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE Eeing Prepared to Present in Both Houses of Conjrress. TIIE SENATE AXD HOUSE NOW AT WORK "Washington, D. G, Jan. 12. The de cision of the Supreme Conrt of the United States in the Counselman esse is the sub ject of much discussion to-day, and popular inquiry turns to the question of whether in the light of this decision the inter-State commerce law can even be so amended as to give it the efficiency that was intended by its framers. Bills are beinc prepared for introduction in both Houses designed to correct the defects of the law, but the opin ions of prominent lawyers of the two Houses are divided as to the possibility of framing an amendment which will afford the remedy desired and at the same time be constitutional. Hon. V K. Morrison, the member of lf,nget service on the Inter-State Commis sion, does not view the situation with the discouragement that has been manifested by some of the other friends of the inter State commerce law. "What do you think of the Supreme Court decision in tne Counselman case?" Mr. ilorrison was asked by an Associated Press reircsentatie. 3-ittIo Gatnrd 1)t Jlisenislon. "There is not much profit in discussing the decision of the court of last rcsnrt," he replied. "If the Court had been so inclined it could have held the law constitutional upon verv good authority. The decisions of State courts on substantially the same ques tion have not all been one wnv." "Will the decision t-criousiy hamper the work of the commiWon, in Your opinion?' ' It will he at least a temporary 'lindmnce to the enforcement of the law. There arc vt-nallytwo ruilty parties to ii:e most flagrant violations 01 tho intcr-Sta'e com merce law. and these two aro not likely ro have w ituces to the transaction. Ifone of thpsmilty nmtics cannot he compelled to testify against tho other, it will frcqncntly happen that both " ill ro unpunished and co on in wrcnKdomjr. Alter all, some or the guilty ti ill be overtaken, for muidcr, though at have no toimue, will speak." "Is the obstacle one which you think can be removed by legislation?" "Tos. it can be partially removed. Tho Conrt points . i way to the remedy. That way i, give immunity or let 20 un whipped of justice one utility party who is made to testify against anotner." The One ltempdy That's Allowed. The remedy which tho court suggests, and to w Inch r. Morrison refers, ib con tained in the following paragraph, of the decision: ""i'c are clearly of opinion, that no s'aiuto nlnch leaves the party or witness subject to prosecution after he answers the eliminating question put to him can have theeffert ot Minplanting the privilege con Jciredbv the Constitution 01 tho United St-ite-. Section g4 does not supply a com plete nrotection from all the nciiK agaiust which the constitutional prohibition was designed to guard, and is not lull substitute lor that prohibition. In view- or the consti tutumal provision, a statutory enactment, to be v.ilid. must afford absolute prosecu tion lor tl.c offense to which the question 1 elites."1 Senator Cullom was rsked lor his opinion. He said: "I am afraid the Court hardly realizes that the people aie entitled to prt tectio'i in their lights as between them selves and the common carriers. But, with out criticising the derision, I want to sav tint the people of t lie United Stales arc de termined that the common carriers of the country shall be prohibited in some way Jrom disregarding the people's rights. Tin common carriers have duties to perform un tiei i-ommon law. They aroqu.isi-pnhlic ni si itutions. and they have no right, under the common Jaw1, to discriminate between per sons or localities."

Tshouldbegladrormyown sake, for the depaitment's interest, and for the sake of the farmers, to have tint work ings of this department more thoroughly understood ana appreciated by mem bers of Congress and our citizens generally than they are. Singularly enough, although Mr. Simpson, I understand, owes liis election to farmers.' votes, and poses as distinctively a representative of the farming interest, he has paid but little attention to this department and its work. I am quite satisfied that the better he be comes acquainted with It tho more he will appreciate it.

The next great work to be done in the baseball world is the building of a schedule for the new league. This may seem an easy task to some, but only the Initiated can appreciate the trouble in stoi e for the committee hav ing the matter in charge. Prcsidont Jim Hart, of tho local club, is a member of the committee, and he lies awake of nights now thinking of the work ahead of him. The majority of the members of the league favor a schedule of 151 games for each club, or 14 with each of its tellows. This may he all right, but Jim has figuied out that in order to play that many games the season will have to ho started April 7 and kept open until October la The mere idea or baseball here April 7 draws au involuntary shudder from a local crank, who hn-. sat and shivered in the bleachers May 1. President Hart thinks, however, that tho lake cities mightbe given a wide berth until the sunny days of May. and that the season could be opened easily enough early in April In Washington, Baltimore. Louisville, St, Louis, Cincinnati and Pittsburg. He be lieves the clubs could In kent moving on u ciicuit made up of those cities until late in April. Then the Chicago club could woik East if necessary, and thus delay the open ing of the season here until late in May, which would be just as well. Experience has shown that May 1 is entirely too carl v to open in the hike cities, and lor that matter October 10 Is entiiely too late to close in theni. The schedule promises to give the league some trouble. SENT THEIB ANSWEBS IB. Tho Otflcials of the Locil Club Favor Tliree Trips to Each Citj.

Tho Seeictary also requested that the Pittsburg team jilavin Boston Decoration Day aiyd Bunker Hill Daj'; that .Now York, Boston or -Btooklyn play here on July 4; that games be played here Labor Day, and that Chicago or St. Louis open the season in this city. It will bo seen that plenty has been asked for, but there is nothing for being shy nowadays. MB. EOKNEE'S DECLABATI0N. He Won't Race Sncol Against Otlier Horses Under Any Circaraitances.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher -writer "40 Orange Street, 11 Brooklyn, N. Y.f February nf 173. ' I have used Aixcocs's Porocs Plasters for some years for myself and family, and, as far as able, for the amy sufltrers who come to us for assistance, and have found them a genuine relief for most of the aches aad pains which flesh is heir to. I have used Allcock's Porous Plasters for all kinds of lameness and acute pain, and by fre quent experiments find that they can control many cues not noticed in your circulars. 41 The" above is the only testimonial I have ever given in favor of anyplaster, and if my name has been used to recommend any other it is without my authority or sanction." George Augustus Sala writes to the London Daily Telegraph : " I especially have a pleasant remembrance of the ship's doctor a very experienced maritime medico indeed who tended me most kindly dur ing a horrible spell of bronchitis and spasmodic asthma, provoked by the sea-fog which had swooped down on us just after we left San Fran cisco. But the doctor's prescriptions, and the increasing warmth of the temperature as we ncared the tropics, and, in particular, a couple of All cock's Porous Plasters clapped on one on the chest and another between the shoulder-blades soon set me right." Russell Sage, the well-known financier, writes : " 505 Fifth Avenue, " New York City, December 20, 1890. " For the last twenty years I have been using Allcock's Porous Plasters. They have re peatedly cured me of rheumatic pains and pains in my side and back, and, whenever I have a cold, one on my chest and one on my back speedily relieve me. 41 My family are never without them." Marion Harland, on page 103 of her popular work, "Common Sense for Maid, Wife, and Mother," says : ".For the aching back Allcock's Porous Plas ter is an excellent comforter, combining the sen sation of the sustained pressure .of a strong, warm hand with certain tonic qualities developed in the wearing. It should be kept over the scat of the uneasiness for several days in obstinate cases, for perhaps a fortnight," Beware of imitations, and do not be deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for Allcock's, and let no solicitation or explanation induce you to accept a substitute. AFTER STOCK TAKING BARGAINS.

' I think ionly right that I should tell you of how much use I find Allcock's Porous Plas ters in my family and aniGngt those to whom 4 have recommended them. I find them a ery breastplate against colds and coughs." W. J. Arkell, publisher of Judge and Frank Leslie's Illustrated News paper, writes : t " Judge Building; " Cor. Fifth Ave. and Sixteenth Street, " New York, January 14, 1891. 'About three weeks since, while suffering from a severe cold which had settled on my chest, I appliid an Allcock's Fori us Plaster, and in a short time obtained relief. "In my opinion, these plasters should be in erery household, for use in case of coughs, colds, sprains, bruises or pains of any kind. I know that in my case the results have been entirely satisfac tory and beneficial." Henry Thorne, Traveling Secre tary of the Y. M. C. A., writes : " Exetzk Hall, Strand, " London. February 3, i8S3. " I desire to bear my testimony to the va!u,c of Allcock's Porous Plasters. I have used them for pains in the back and side, arising from rheu matic and other causes, never without deriving benefit from their application. They are easily applied and very comforting. Those engaged, as I am, in public work which involves exposure to sudden (changes of temperature, will do well to keep a supply of Allcock's Porous Plasters in their portmanteaus." Hon. James W. Husted says : " When suffering from a severe cough, which threatened pulmonary difficulties, which I was recommended to go to Florida to relieve, I deter mined to test Allcock's Porous Plasters. I applied them to my chest and between the shoulder-blades, and in less than a fortnight was entirely cured." Henry A. Mott Jr., Ph. D., F. C. S., late Government chemist, certifies: " My investigation of Allcock's Porous Plas ter shows it to contain valuable and essential ingredients not found in any other plaster, and I find it superior to and more efficient than any other plaster."
