New YoK.-The State Railroad Commits
sioners have recommended the repeal of the
law by which their office was created. The
reasons assigned are that all the duties which
they have any power to perform can be quite
as well discharged by the State Engineer and
Surveyor. A bill has been introduced in con-
formity with their recommendation, which. we
trust, will pass.
The creation of this Commission was main
ly for the purpose of establishing some legal
authority over the Railroads of the State.
We expect the experiment is failure

VERY GRATIFYING.--It does body good
to have his pride fattered once in a while
We realize the benefit of it once a year. Ev-
cry April the assessors come round and ask
how much money we have got at interest /;
how much stock we have in the public funds
or in banks and various other questions
which are supposed to be put only to the
'solid men," If there is anybody round, we
straighten up slightly, expand our corporosi-
ty. and in as heavy a chest tone as we can
command, we answer, "dbom The same as last
gear" They know well enough what that is.
So do we.--Nashua Telegraph.

The bill as it has passed is not such one
as we desired but if it satisfies the friends
of license we shall not complain. We would
have 1t exactly adapted to their views, and
then we ask them to see it enforced, or con-

by license must inevitably result in failure"
