THE ERIE WAR.

The Buffalo Express says the Supreme Court
of PENNSYLVANIA has rendered a long and tur-
cid decision in regard to the Buffalo and State
line. and Erie and North East railroads. The
decree was uttered on the 7th inst 1t assumes
that the roads obstruct certain streets in Erie
and Harbor Creek, and presents this verdict,
viz: That the defendants shall, on or before
the expiration of four months from the above
date, break up so much of their said road as lies
upon the said streets, and upon the Buffalo road,
and remove the materials thereof, so as to leave
the said streets and road in as good condition
as they were in before the construction of said
railroad. And it is further declared and adjudg-
ed, that the said defendants are bound to make
the borough of Erie, with such limits as it had
in 1912, the Western terminus of their railroad.
1t is therefore decreed and ordered, that the said
defendants shall, within four months from this
date, change the route and construction of their
railroad accordingly, and make their Western
terminus at what was the Eastern line of the
said borough in l842, or within the same bor-
ough And the said defendants shall recon-
struct their railroad to supply the parts hereby
ordered to be broken up, according to plans and
specifications to be by them made, and to be
submitted and approved by this Court, on full
notice to the counsel Of the commonwealth and
not otherwise.
And defendants shall pay all lawful costs, to
be taxed by the Prothonotary.

If there is anything that becomes beautiful
girl, it is modesty withoutt, all other gifts are
mere sounding brass and tinkling symbols. And
we might also add, if anything becomes a boy
or young man, it is modesty, both in appear
ance, action, and words; in the one assuming
no attractive dress in the action, still and retir-
ing, in the words few, it his business to listen.
How often do we see gray hairs insulted by

WHAT is THE CONDITION OF THE DEMOCRAT
&c PARTY ?-The Advertiser (Whig), answers
the question:
Z" Its recent State Convention has enabled us
to Judge The disturbed state of political ele-
ments, the great noise, and the boast of coming
victory made by the Republicans, hive caused
the Democrats TO RISE IN THEIR STRENGTH
The prospect that Nebraska and Kansas aoiU be
free soil has prevented many from deserving
their party, as the recent gathering in this city
demonstrated. A more numerously attended
delegate convention has never been held in the
State The flower of the party were there, as
its hacks !" Gen. Cass was called in to give
counsel, and the proceedings were managed with
adroit shrewdness"
The Advertiser plucks up courage and asks ::
"What is the duty of Wings? The Repub-
lican party whatever may be its vote at the next
election, will soon dwinde down to small
number, unless unforeseen causes shall arise to
give it strength and vitality. This organiza-
ton couuteract the Democratic party, which is,
and will continue to be, united. 1t is to the
Wing organization alone, which has again and
again defeated its old enemy in the country,
that we can look with any security. With its
national character, its glorious history that con-
tains the lives of Daniel Webster and Henry
Clay, by proper exertion and judcious manage
ment become predominant in this State. Up,
then We faithful and true Wings of Michigan !!
act without delay You have lasting princi-
Piles to work for and sustain, this hour will test
your courage and fidelity"

By JOHN @. SAKE.
Because you flourish in worldly AFFAIRS rs
Don't be naughty and put on airs,
With insolent pride and station!
Don't be proud and turn up your nose
At poorer people in palmer clothes,
4 But learn for the sake of your mind repose
That wealth's a bubble that comes and goes;
And that all Proud Flesh, wherever it grows,
Is subject to irritation

We copy in another column from the Washing
count of the projects of the called Central
American Land and Mining Company which
fully confirms the statements we have several
times laid before our readers concerning that in
stitution. These projects are simply to procure
confirmation Of the grants nominslly made on
Jan. "a, 1899, and in june Of the same year by
the Chief Of the Mosquito Indians to Peter and
Thomas Shepherd and stsnislas Thomas Haly,
never executed, revoked on May 90, 1911, blythe
then Chief, acting under the advice Of Col. Mae
donald, the egen. OF the British Government,
and sfterward more decisiyely by the presen.
Chief under the advice of Ne. Walker Macdon-
slds predecessor la this last revocation it was
set forth that the grants were originally null, be-
cause the gantors we're drunk when they made
them, because they were contrary to the laws of
England, then in force in the country, aud be-
cause no equivalent had ever been received for
them. These DEGREES are still in force, and
though various attempts have been made to get
the Briti.h Government to annul them, nothing
has been accomplished in that quarter Under
these revoked and exploded grants the Central
American Land and Mining Company now pro-
pose to occupy and colonze the coast,-hoping,
however, TO obtain an additional tide through
the consent of Nicaragua aud Costa Rca to their
speculation.
The coastwhich it is proposed thus to colonize,
and on which the writer of The North american
fondly imsgines an ADglO-Saxon Republic in full
