Effects of the Wisconsin Decision
ON THE ". L ST: P. co.

Hon. Alex. Mitchell, president of the
c., NJ. & St. Paul railroad, said that
the company would comply with the
order of the court and obey the law,
whatever the consequences might be.
AS he understood the character Of the
proceeding, it could not be appealed
from. The company would therefore
accept the result, and respect the con-
venience of the public in the character
Of accommodations so far as was in
their power.
Mr.. S. S. Merrill, general manager of
the St. Paul road, said that the com.
pay would obey the law in accordance
with the decision, however disastrous it
might prove to the cempany's proper
ty: that no matter how ill the effect
might be, the company would submit
with the best grace it could, 1t would
comply fully, fairly and squarely, and
Mt the same time continue to serve the
public as we'll as its contracted means
would allow. There are now 400 cars
and 40 locomotives less employed than
at this time last year, which had COM
PEELED the discharge of q number of en-
ployes.
THE LEGAL EFFECT.
Ex-Ch;ef Justice Dixon, one of the
counsel for the State in this case, said
that this injunction was only tempo
rary in form, but the court had decid-
ed the whole question, and the injunc-
ton would be made permanent Of
course. There is proceeding pending
before the same tribunal to vacate the
charters of the St. Paul and North.
western companies for having neglected
to comply with the law.
ON THE NORTHWESTERN co.
r President Keep. Of the Northwestern
Railway, expressed great surprise at
the decision of the Supreme Court of
Wisconsin, but said his road would at
once take measure to obey the Law by
the first of October, the datc fixed in
the injunction, but as no road could
live up to the Potter law and furnish
first class accommodations to the pub
lie, he will at once take measures to
take off all first class passenger coaches,
stop all work in the shops except for
repairs, and reduce the working force
to minimum strength.

A COmmitteeman's Analysis OF
the Testimony.
COMMENTS OF MR.. BEECHER'S JOURNAL.

Whatever other qualities Mr.. Francis D. M0ulton
may lack, he does not want In earnestness He
expresses this fact In his every action. When he
wants to say that somebody Is untrutbful he picks
out such Saxon terms as express his meaning in
its barest form, unburdened by any of socety's
emascularing politenesses and he projects such
strong words with force that ast0nshes mild
hammered hearers and increases the violence done
to their tender sentiments. His earnest
ness is also well expressed by the way
that he prepares for such literary labor
as has been demanded from him lately. About
three O'Clock yesterday afternoon he was found BY
the writer in the rear parlor Of his house in
Remsen street, Brooklyn. He was consulting
with friend, but his appearance betokened that
he had been In the '.throes OF composition" He
wore neither coat nor vest, his shirt was very
much ruffied and his hair was as II somebody had
been playfully passing small rake through 1t. In
fact, though he had been composing, he looked very
much discomposed in dress. In manner he was
courteous as usual, but unusually uncOmmun1-
cative. He did not wish to be interviewed, and
gave opportunity for but two or three questions.

when IL will be ready. He would say nothing
about his new revelations. and when asked II he
knew that Mr. Tilton was preparing further
statement, he suggested simply that the ques-
toner should see Mr.. Tilton. His anxiety to return
to the task he had been engaged on was now so
evident that courteous leave was taken, and his
suggestion
TO SEE MR.. TILTON
was accepted. This party OF the second part was
found at his house In Livingston street, at the
door OF which he appeared in response to the sum-
mons of the bell. His aspect was happy, and his
words did not betray that great grief was 'cark-
ing his full hearth lie was wary, and determined
not to say much. To every question he gave
non-committal answer. Being asked II he were
engaged on "a new statement" he said: =

subject 1t is now" Mr.. Tilton continued, "Mr:
Moulton's time. He has been attacked and viii

News for Pistol Toters.

The Knoxville Press and Herald OF
the 18th has the following important
item, which should be carefully read by
those who are in the habit Of carrying
pistols under their coat-tails:
la the Supreme Court of the State
last week, in an opinion, Chief Justice
Nicholson held that the act Of the Gen
eral Assembly of 1873, to preserve the
peace and prevent homicide, which for
bids the use of I'll deadly weapons, ex-
cept an army pistol held openly in the
hand, was a constitutional enactment.
Judge Sneed dissented from this opin.
ion, he holding that the Legislature can
20 farther than that, and can forbid
the use of deadly weapons entirely on
the street, in public or in society. He
holds that man has no more natural OF
constitutional right to carry pistol in
his hand on the public street than he
has to enter a church or any public as
sernbly with the smallpox, and the gov
eminent that has not the power to cor
rect this great evil is no government al
all.
Judge Mcfarland also dissented, ex-
pressing his views, which substantially
concurred with the opinion of Judge
Sneed. Del

Boots that squeak.

There are but few men that can walk,
late, into churchill of people, or any
other assemblage, in pair of squeaky
boots without turning red in the face.
The few constituting the exception are
men aldermanic in their proportions
large chested, rotund stomach, bald
headed-men who appreciate their heft.
These like sQueaky boots-will have no
others-and they are welcome to them.
But 10 a modest, difident man squeak is
a thorn in the flesh. He can endure it
on the street, in crowd, at the caucus,
and such; but when it comes to entering
a meeting house on Sunday morning,
when and where deep silence prevails;
or a concert hall or lecture room, when
it is equally still, and the audience is,
to a woman, looking straight at him
as he squeaks along over the
vacant space between the door and
seat-oh that gets himl That is a
trial Of courage-an ordeal that few
like to 90 through. Do you mind how
be tries to tip-toe along, to walk on the
sides Of his feet, or his heels, or any way
to stop that Internal squesking which is
sending the blood into his head, threat
ening apoplexy at every step, and
squeezing preparation through every
pore? There's agony for you-real cru
ciixionl Such sight never fails to ex-
cite our pity, for we have been there and
know Just how it feels. We have seen
the time that we would swap an elegant
pair Of new French calf for the meanest
yellow dog that ever gnawed bone, aud
regarded the swap as a good one.
Women are sometimes troubled with the
same complaint in their boots, but they
never mind it as we men folks do. It's
a bad one.
