blessing to the State, and the newspaper

4 bin is before the Massachusetts Legis-
lature which aims death-blow at the rail
road lobby. 1t proposes to charter any
company that is duly organized and has "a
cash capital Of $4,000 per mile. This re-
duces the whole question to the simple con
sidrraton of profit and loss, and, while it
upsets monopolies, leaves the people free to
build Just such roads as they want and will
pay for. This is the most radical measure
of reform which has been seriously pro-
posed. but is certainly step toward the
solution of one of the gravest and most
complicated questions of our time.

A New York letter says OF Stokes lawyer :;
John Graham is not a genius, but, as the
slang is. he is laundering smart. lie has
studied up our jury system to dot. lie Is
no orator. has harsh. grating voice, and is
the most ai-tempered and vulgar man al the
New York bar; but he just hits the nail
upon the head every time he wishes to i'm
press his point upon the twelve intelligent
men before him. He worries witnesses. con-
irving to nalign their characters without
introducing a witness to asperse; then
threatens to spank opposing lawyers, and
reads all kinds of ill-mannered lectures to
the judge On the bench" This is just the
kind of thing to impress New York jury,
selected according to medieval usages.
