KANSAS AND SILK RATsTNd.-In the
county of Franklin, Kansas about
fifty miles south of Lawrence, the pi-
oneers of a French colony have par-
chased a wide tract. of land, aud are
making large expenditure ofmoney
for the purpose of setting up there on
the now wild prairie, mandatory
of silk Telvet. The colony will con-
tain within itself all the forms of in
dustry necessary to the success of
it's enterprise, from the growth of
the mulberry to the last finishing
touch on the beautiful fabric. OF
course some time must elapss before
the plantations of trees will yield
leaves enough to feed many worms;
but in the meantime, the few colon
lists who are already on the ground
will devote themselves TO the gener-
al Improvement and decoration OF
their estate.

tine authorities be paid under protest; and have
also been instraSte9to submit such reply thereto as

deemed 2dyIsSbiG
Permit me, therefore, TO suggest that this resolu
tlon must nave been passed under misapprenen-
sion 1t seems to have had It's origin In the idea
that the Supreme Court OF the United States has
decided that the exacton Of such fees Is In conflict
with the constitution OF the United States. This
idea Is entirely erroneous. No such decision has
been made by that court or any other. Indeed,
am confident that the question OF the legality Of
such fees has never even been distinctly presented
to that court for decision. 1t may be said
to have incidentally arisen 10 the celebrated passen
ger cases decided In that court in 1s4S u How
2e3), but the decision IN those cases, SO
far as II has any bearing upon the question: shows
that when 1t does fairy arise the right OF the State
to impose such fees WIN be upheld. The following
language occurs in the opinion OF the Court:-"In
did not part with that power OF selfpreservation
which must be inherent In every organized cOmmu-
nifty. Ttey may guard against the introduction OF
anything which may corrupt the morals or endan-
ger the health lives Of their citizens. Quarantine
or health laws have been passed by the States and
regulations OF police for their protection and wei
fare" Here is a distinct recognition Of the right OF
the States TO enact quarantine laws and II IA idle
TO say that they may nave the right to enact
them, and yet are poweries3 TO provide the means
OF executing them except in manner which snail
Impose no burden upon commerce The law under
cons deraon IN the passenger cases vas one passed
by this state authorizing the collection OF hospital
moneys" and 1t was sought to sustain II on the
crouna that II was health laws but the Court neid
not be sustained on that ground. The reasoning Of
the Court however, clearly shows that II the tax lul
posed by that law was necessary TO aid The execution
OF the sanitary laws OF the state 10 would have been
upheld. Congress has not been behind the Supreme
Court In recognizing this right. AS early as l7e0 It
passed an act declaring that the quarantine laws OF
the several states should be duly observed by the
collectors and all otner officers o. the revenue OF the
United States and that they should aid In their
cutlon. Thus it will be seen that the quarantine
authorities here have no; only an intimati0n OF the
Supreme Court of the United States that the law 8
under which they are acting are valid, but they
have the direct sanction OF Congress for their exc
cuti08.
In face Of this authority 1t Is, perhaps, unneees.
sary for me TO suggest that the payment OF the
Health Otfcer's fees under protest will be OF very
little avail. Very respectfully, your Obedient SER
want, HENRY w. JOHNSON.

the Judge tor delivery OF them into their HANDS.
The Judge made an order accordingly. II is from
this order that the appeal has been taken. The ques

clpe and that is whether or not oil property Of the

pointedS We have regarded the several provisions

the proceedings In bankruptcy; and that thereupon,
by operation oil law, the title to all such property
