tered suit against Charlotte steele, nee Cozens,

when Mrs. Steele quilted the bed OF the plaintiff,
and never since has mad matrimonial inter-
couree with hun. He continued, however, to
remain IN the same house, but In o separate
apartment, for about two years. The plaintiff
then moved TO another house, whittier the de-
PENDANT did not accompany him, and that the
six children OF the marriage yet remain with the
defendant, in full possession OF the plaintiffs
household property, and that the plaintiff has

PENDANT TO live with him In q full matrimonial

Sound Sense on the Railroad Question

On the present exciting topic of railroad
impostions and high freights and fares, we
have nowhere seen more sound, solid sense IN
SO small compass as We find in the subjoincd
communication from our friend Mcconnell:
Editors Free 7rader-The people Of the Fox
Valley are manifestlng great zeal about rail.
road morals and railroad policy. They are
insuiring, What is the pyoximate origin of
all these corruptions? And what is the rene.
dy for them!
That We have approached the period in the
progress of railroads, in which our roads are
subject to the same influences that have over.
whelmed English roads, is obvious. These
roads commenced with bright promises. They
were successful till they crossed The Rubicon.
The evil day came when the object IN the con.
structlon Of . railroad ceased to be that of a
cheap, well.managed, and useful work; but
the money that could be made OF. the process,
| of construction. The fault is not in the works
themselves, but IN the erroneous principles up
| on which they are conducted. The Legisla.
turc Of Great Britain is as competent as that
Of Canada or 'hc United States to interfere in
the construction o! works of internal improve.
ment. The fact is that none of them are COM
petent to successfully conduct commercial en-
terprises.
In England the government has nterfcred
too much, here we have the opposite extreme.
The proper legislation upon oil subjects is to
leaee tie action Of tie people untronmel'ea.
The great trouble in our affairs today is the
inability Of stock and bondholders to exercise
a personal oversight of the expenditure OF
their money. Every penny wasted in cons.ruc.
ton, must be felt in dividends or out Of Fare"
and transportation.
We take the stand that the ability of the
peop.e 10 build road is the test of their a5il,-
~ 10 furnish business sufficient to its sup
port. Where they have not yet reached such
degree Of strength, it is more for the inter
est 81 such community to postpone the con.
| struction Of such work than to allow it to pass
into the hands of spectators, resulting in u
road at double cost, imposing u perpetual tax
on them, in the shape Of double charges tol
transportation.
We do not wish ito raise u dust and then
complain beCOGse we cannot see But it is
morally certain that te build road and tC
run one are two widely different undertake
ings, the latter being as difficult as Legislation
itself,
What then is the remedy We answer
L,acc tie action b tie People WttjuRlmlNed, to
necessity is the mother ofInventlon.
