People VS.. Railroads.

The Jefferson Banner contained
last week an interesting article
about the present railroad mbroglio.
1t says if the people who have COM
planned bitterly of the unjust bur-
dens imposed on them by railroad
companies will now, when the law
places in their hands the means of
relief, do their duty by complaining
of infractions of the law, the rail-
way companies will be compelled to
yield. An article in the same paper
urges individuals to do their part in
executing the law, that the resisting
companies may not be able to go be-
fore she next legislature and say the
people acquiesce in the course they
are pursuing. After a brief state
ment of the legal rates and the pen
alty for over charge, of fine not
exceeding 5000 for each offence on
the offending agent and on the COM
pany, it adds:
Actions for the recovery of these
penalties are criminal actions, and
justices of the peace have jurisdict-
ion to hear, try and determine them.
District Attorneys, by the general
statute, are required to appear and
prosecute the action for the COM
painant when requested by the JUS
tice, and this without expense to the
complainant. These suits can be
put in motion only by persons | who
have been charged in excess of the
legal rates appearing before them
and making the ordinary complaint
for criminal warrant. And these
complaints must be made, or the
law in many of it's most important
features will remain unexecuted
In addition to this, civil suits may
be commenced against the agent
and the company to recover three
times the amount charged in excess
of the legal rates and Of these suits
justices have Jurisdiction where the
amount claimed does rot exceed
5000.

Democracy East and West,

The recent meeting of old Demo
Gratis in New York has warmed up
the Democratic heart. The st.
Louis Dispatch, speaking of new
party, scouts the idea that anything
can displace the old putrld:
without caring to save, for the
truth of analysis to recall the memo
ry Of single wrong done to De-
mocracy in Missouri when it was &C.
cursed to be a Democrat, we would
remind every new party mounte-bank
in the State that persecution makes
parties, like it does individuals, hero
ic. 1t is the blessed mother of disci-
pine. 1t gives to a cause holy
ferver like the spiritualism of a new
faith. 1t beStol0s also its hatreds and
its ceaseless yearnings for reuenge. 1t
teaches the aged how to be cunning
that they may be useful in counsel,
and the youthful how to be brave,
that they may be swift and resolute
in action"
This lively representative of De-
mocracy and the lost cause, says II
is "impossible, because inharmonious
with human nature, tor the Missouri
Democracy to forget within the
next twenty years the remorseless
persecution that was its lot from
1862 to 1870" and adds that until
''stranger feet tread the battle-felds
made precious by the blood of slaves
holding Democracy, Democracy in
the State will remain the Gibralter
of the Continent"
The Dispatch is published where
it is not afraid to speak the truth.
The papers further north that sym
pathize with it are working to Sc
cure the same result, the overthrow
cf the party that put down the re-
bellion of southern Democrats, would
be as out.spoken, if they were not
afraid of losing votes. When they
have secured the votes, they throw
off the Disguise The election of q
Senator in Connecticut is a case in
point. 1T shows that Democracy
east and west, is alike. The Wor'
cester Spy, speaking of the new Sen
ator, says:
"For many years, he has been the
most conspicuous Democratic politi.
cian in tie state, noisy, arrogant
deuunciator of Republicans and Re-
puhlicanism, during the war defantly

A Wife and Mother Rendered a
Childless Widow in an Hour.
From the ErnnsvIIle and.l Journal. ]

from the EVANSVILLE tAAAJ ""N4 N-'s-'J
From an aged citizen of Decatur
county, Tenn, we have the particu-
lars OF the following series OF appall-
ing accidents, by which happy ana
Industrious wife and mother was
berefL Of her child and her husband
in less than an hour: A man named
Bennett Kyle, formerly citizen OF
Wayne county, Tenn, having lost
his wife some years ago, married
second, and with her removed 10
Missouri, where he settled and en-
gagged ia farming. Two children
were born to them, and they were
prosperous and happy. A few weeks
ago a letter was received from the
wife, detailing her terrible berea7e-
ment. She had gone short distance
from the house TO do tho family
washing, taking with her her infant
child, leaving the other, some two
years old, at the house with her
husband working upon the root.
Having occasion to be absent from
her child for few moments, when
she returned she found ratliesnake
had fastened its fangs upon the wrist
of her babe. She quickly dispatched
the snake and freed tho child, which
almost Immediately died. Clasping
her infant in her arms she fastened
to the hotel, where she found her
other child drowned in q tub Of wa er.
Her screams Of agony upon behold
ing this second bereavement startled
her husband, who, losing his pres
once, fell from the roof and was in
stantly killed Thus, By this s3ngu-
lar train Of accidents, was the poor
woman rendered q widow and child
less in q few brief moments. Our
informant knew the parties well,
and vouchos for the facts above re-
lated.

Presidential Possibilities.

Mr.. Henry Watterson writes from
Washington to his paper, the Louis
Vile Courier Journal, in this lively
vein
sThere are in the Republican par
ty two considerable men remaining
on the scene as Presidential POSSIBLE
ties, Blaine and Washburne. The
veto killed Morton as dead as a door
nail. 1t set Logan back thousand
years. ConkIing is not in Grants
way. He and Grant have made q
league, offensive aud defensive. If
Washburn comes home and goes into
the Cabinet, that will be the end of
him. Blaine is man of extraordi-
nary energy and spring-by odds the
brightest man in Congress. Cross
over to the Democratic party. 1t is
not only divided, but it has not one
single leader Of genius and nerve.
Thurman is a solemn respectabilit i,
cold and virtuous. Hendrikus is al
amiabIe commonplace. The Gran
gers come in between the two. They
are merely slate-smashers. They
en- brace only class, are sectional
aud local. The out~and-out Liberals
are scattered. The South is cipher.
1t is in condition to sell out or be
crushed out.

The People VS.. the Railroads.

We learn that the articles of Glib
eral'' and "Republican" on the rail-
road question, which appeared in the
HERALD some weeks ago do not re-
ceiye the full endorsement of many OF
the Changers in this county, and we
are not surprised thereat. But we are
surprised, knowing the extreme views
held by the Changers on the railroad
question, that some well.informed
member has not before this taken a
tilt with Mr.. Liberal and Mr.. Repub-
lican. The articles were published
with the request that the subject re-
ceive the careful thought and consld-
Grafton of the reader, and inviting
criticism. The HERALD columns are,
as they always were, open to the dis
cussion of any question of public con-
Germ. The position of the HERALD
upon the railroad question has been
editorially stated in plain terms We
hold that the Legislature has control
to some extent Of railroads, as well
as of other corporate institutions, but
not such unlimited control as many OF
our farmers, and newspapers too,
would have it, which would give it
the right to legislate railroads out OF
existence by reducing the rate of fares
and freights. To this extreme view
of the question we most seriously OBJ
iect. Under the charters granted by
the Legislature to railroads they must
run trains regularly for the convey
ance of freights and passengers, fail
ing in which confscation by the State
is authorized. Now, is there citizen
who, compelling the roads to
run, would force them to run
at ruinous rates ? We think not.
The Potter railroad law was justly
provoked by such unreasonable exac-
tons as required the farmer and mer-
chant in one section of the State to
pay greater rate for freights accord
ing to distance than the farmer and
merchant in another section, and it is
a fact that for this reason railway com.
panies need regulating. But to what
extent railroad corporations can be
regulated under the State constitution
is question that neither the Changers
nor the press can decide. The
constitutionality of the Potter rail-
road law is yet to be tested, and
we await with interest the decision of
the important questions involved by
the only tribunal that has the power
to decide them-the courts.

The tolls are so heavy that trade is
practically prohibited, and Lesseps
insists on increasing them enormously.
How he can do that and not drive off
vessels entirely is hard to see. In the
meantime, the French stockholders
are clamoring for dividends on their
investments, and the indications are
that the propositions of the English
bondhoIders will have to be accepted,
after all, in which event tolls will be
considerably reduced.

A Plucky Express Messenger Shoots
and Kills O Railroad Robber.

From a gentleman " no arrived in
the city this morning the particulars
of bloody affair that occurred on the
Atlantic and Pacific express train on
the Michigan Central Railroad, at
about half-past o'clock last evening,
are obtained. The train was going
east, and was nearing the village of
New Buffalo, Mich, when the door of
the express car was suddenly burst
open by two young men, who immedi-
ately assaulted Mr.. Spencer Heath,
the Express messenger, who was alone
at the time, sorting his money pack
ages. They struck him with brass
kDuckles, inficting serious wounds and
knocking him down. One of them
jumped on him and attempted to Sc
cure him, while the other was trying
to burst open one of the money safes.
Heath, though severely hurt, managed
to draw revolver, and firing instant.
ly killed the robber who was holding
him. The other one then became
frightened at the fate of his compan-
ion. and, rushing from the car, jumped
off the train taking $4,000 with him.
The firing alarmed some of the people
on the train, who rushed into the eX'
press car and found Heath lying in an
insensible condition from bis wounds.
The dead mans name and residence
person '1nawYUaa p pers found on his
from Penny an, Ind m ~oo.,,o ~
have been about % years of age. His
body is short and thick-set, and his
hair is curly. In one of his pockets
was found razor and bottle of chic
reform, indicating what the messen-
gers fate would probably have been

BEEcHER's TEMPERANCE GosPEL.-
Henry Ward Beecher lays down in a
recent letter that "total abstinence is
the rational aud safe remedy for intern
perance." He sees no value in pre-
ventivs laws at this time which, how
ever right in pricniple, cannot be en-
forced now because of the low tone of
public feeling. He would win his fell
low men from the despotism of strong
drink by reasoning moral influence
and kindness, rather than by any form
of violence.
