Washington, Oct. .25. The Su preme Court of the United States ren dered a decision to-day in ithe case of the Wabash, St. jLouis and Pacific railroad company against the people of the State of Illinois, brought up on a writ of enr- from the Supreme Court of the State .of; Illinois, The question presented in this case, as it Came to the Supreme Court, was the general subject i of - the power of the State Legislature to regulate fares and tolls for passengers and freights over railroads witnmtneir limits. Tne specific charge was that the railroad company charged parties in Gilmore. Ills., 25 cents per nundred pounds to transport' goods from that place to New York city? and charged other parties in Peoria,Ill3., 80 miles nearer New York city, only 15 cents per one hundred pounds to carry their goods to New York city. jThe case was tried in several Illinois courts with varying results, until finally the Supreme Court of the State held that this dis crimination was :in violation of the State laws, and rendered judgment against the railroad company. The decision of the Supreme Court to-day is in effect that -the State law to regu late freight charges cannot tapply to inter-State traffic, t as .such such ap plication must trench upon the con stitutional powers! of - Congress, and be a damaging restriction of the free dom of traffic. Justice Miller, who delivered the opinion of the i court, says on this pomtt "VOf the justice or propriety of the principle which lies at the foundation of i the Dlinois stat ute it is not the province of this court to speafc. As restricting a transpor tation which begins and ends within . . .- . , . . um or Vli ""VrSL Te" ff and.eqmtoble, and it certainly is the province of the State Legislature determine the questions, but when it is attempted to ' apply to transpor tation through an entire series of States, a principle of this .kind, and each one- of.: the 1 States,. or offcalf a dozen States, shall attempt r to estab lish its own rates i of transportation: its own methods to prevent dLscrnm- nation in rates, or to permit it. . The deleterious influence upon ! the' free dom of commerce among the States andupon thje transportation of goods through those States cannot be over estimated. That this species of legis lation is one which must be if estab lished at all of a general and nation-' al character : and cannot be safely and easily remitted to local rules and local regulations,! we tnroK is clear, from what has already been said ; and u it :ie a reruiatiorvrv corncye, as . . . . . . m. . . Ms. . we think we havA tf lonstratedTiris and as the Illinois court concedes it to be. . It must "be of . that : national character,and the regulation can only appropriately be by general rules and principles, which demand that it j should be done by the Congress of the United' States under the commerce clause of the Constitution. The ment of the Supreme Court of lib nois - is, therefore, revereed, and th case remanded to that court for fur ther proceedings . in conformity with tjqis opinion." . j Chief Justice Waite and Justices Gray and Bradly dissent from the opinion of the court, holding, that charges, the State of Illinois nas the power to do so, The dissentinfriiudges think the ef fect - of the -present . decision of the court will , be to ': surrender and give over the just 'powers of the States to the railroad corporations; which they have created, and which depend for all their powers upon the grants re- iv-"''---'.-" - - ' i I' '!.- !"

Htdnrrfnas. t ' Mrj W. H. Motz,of Lincoln countv. has a superior quality of Amber wheat of which he produced during the past season 46 bushels on an acre of land. He believes he can increase this yield. His theory is that the greatest yield can be produced by thick sowing. and that the perfection of wheat growing can only oe reached by allowing one grain ot seed - wheat i to ; produce one head only of wheat. By a careful Prmrtonof land And the sowing of the right kind of seed, so ths each seed will have room to germinate and send up a single stalk without stool- ing, he is confident that the. yield of wheat on a single acre can be brougbt up to one nundred bushels or more per acre, and that this result can be accomplished without excessive fer tilization of the soiL These ideas are original, and we believe they deserve the consideration -of wheat -growers. A, farmer- can afford to sow three bushels of wheat per acre if he can thereby produce thirty bushels or more. Olh RtUHEri BE-OBAHIZf3V ' A Jeros Reaaina mt the Sarrtvera at Caaapaay F., 23rd Bca;.
