of the operating expenses and interest on the Bonds
The balance OF the work necessary to establish

tance between st. Paul and Chicago 45 miles and 20

The established character of this road running as
it does through the heart of the most tbicky settled
and richest portion of the great State OF Iowa, to-
gether with its present advanced condition and large
earnings warrant us in unhesitatingy recommending
these bonds to investors az in every respect an un
doubted security. A small quantity of the issue
only remains unsold and when the enterprise is
completed which will be this Fall, an immediate
advance over subscrition price may be looked for.

Our latest dispatches, by last nights
mail, bring the sad intelligence Of the
death Of Hon. c. l.. Nallandigham,
of Ohio, which occurred at Is minutes
before 10 o'clock on the 18th inst, at
Lebanon, il that State, the result of an
accidental pisto! shot. Thank Col,
he was spared to give to the Democracy
of the nation a platform ON which they
may yet march to victory, and literally
save the people from complete subju-
CATION. We set that platform down as
among the greatest performances Of his
eventful life.

qloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness, The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for q HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

ALBANY, June 13.-Gov. Hoffm IN to-day re-
turned to the secretary of state the bill granting
50 000, 600 state aid to the Midland and Adiron-
dack railroads, without his approval and with a
memorandum of the objections, in which he
says: 81 realize, as fully as any one, the impor-
lance of roads to those who live along the routes
and to the state at large, and | sympathize e3-
pecially with those who, though their town and
municipal authorities, have banded themselves
speedily to aid in the construction of either
road. cannot, however, allow my sympathieS
to control my official judgment. do not be-
lieve the people of the state are willing to be
taxed two million dollars in aid of these two or
any other railroad corporations; nor do believe
it right that they should be so taxed. There is
no Incorporated money in the state treasury,
out of which contributions can be made to rail-
road or other private corporations. Whatever
money is TO be given must be taken out of the
pockets of the people by direct tax, levied es-
pecially for that purpose. 1t is not purpose
connected directly with the government. 1t is a
private purpose, the profits arising from an in
vestment of money, if any, going to the stock
holders, although, incidentally, benefit to the
districts through which the roads rum and to
the state at large
The state government has no moral right to tax
the whole people in aid of these roads; at all
events, not without their express consent, Not
a town along the line of these or other roads
can tax itself for similar purpose without the
consent of a majority of those representing the
majority of the taxable property in the town.
Yet this bill proposes to tax the whole state
without even submitting the question TO a vote
of the People. The constitution forbids loaning
or giving the credit of the state in any manner
in aid ofany individual, association or corpora
ton. The state cannot even create a debt and
with the money borrowed promote any single
work of public character, without the consent
of a majority of the people, expressed through
the ballot box. If ought not and in my judg-
ment cannot, without violation of the spirit of
the constitution, tax the people in aid of any
railroad or other private corporation; certainly
not without like consent. | know there are
many who have always been opposed, in princ-
