The Edna Dean Proctor case.

The New York Graphic speaks in this
PLAN and bold way about the libel suit
Edna Dean Proctor has instituted against
it: When Moulton. in the course of his
last statement, published in the Daily
GFdptic, asserted that Beechcr had been
gnilty, in addition to his seduction of Mrs.
Tilton, of criminal Intimacy with another
lady, he gave no possible clew to the iden-
tity OF the lady i'll question. Not only did
he abstain from mentioning her name, but
he did not include her letter of retraction
among those which we've reproduced in fac
smile in the daily Graphic, thus shielding
her from the possibility that she should be
identified by her handwriting. We our
selves were utterly ignorant as to who the
author of that letter really was, and until
Edna Dean Proctor was mentioned by
name by II Brooklyn paper as being the
lady referred TO by Moulton we had no
knowledge that her character had been in
any way assailcd. But inasmuch as Miss
Proctor has permitted herself to be used as
an instrument to distract attention from
Beechers msdeeds by appearing as the
plaintiff in Il libel suit against the daily
Graphic, we propose to show by evidence
which no jury will reject that Beecher him
self is the originator of the charge against
Miss ProctOrs character. The charge may
not be true, but whether it is or not, Henry
Ward Beecher is the person who is respon-
sibe for it. We shall permit no delay on
the part of the plaintiff in bringing this
case to trial. She has chosen to appeal to
a legal tribunal, and before such tribunal
she Shall be compelled TO go. Beecher is
evidently as ready to sacrifice her in his
desperate defense MS he has been to sacr-
flee the character of Mrs. Tilton and to at
tack the sanity of his own sister. In this
instance, however, he will be hoist with
his own petard, and Miss Proctor will dis
cover that the man in whose behalf she has
committed the folly of rushing into court
is the man who has himself originated what
she now chooses To regard as libel upon
her 'Burleigh,' the New York
correspondent of the Boston J0urnaL
writes as follows of the suit Miss Proctor
has brought against Moulton: SO far as
Moulton is concerned the case will go on
| The peculiar scandal ON which the suit is
| brought is an old one | was told of the
case by wcll-known Brookly clergyman
| at least three years ago. One of the best
known of our pastors told me that he heard
all about it when he was travelling in
| Europe, over three years since. Though
under the surface, the current has been
strong and rapid. | am still of the opinion
that the case will never come to trial, sim
| ply for the reason that too many outside
issues are involved. There are letters that
few would wish to see in print.

HOW NOT TO SECURE IMMIGRATION

In connection with the suggestion
made in our former article in reference
to the CAUSES of the hard times" of
which some of our people complain,
specially with reference to the large
amount Of uncultivated or half cult.
waited laud, in East Tennesse, we wish
TO call attention again TO the evil of
the time-the refusal Of our people TO
selltheir surplus land. We have quite
recently had calls from two gentle
men of means who complain that hav-
ing twice accepted propositions for the
sale of farms the owners both times
refused to sell and raised their price.
These things are not uncommon or
peculiar to any section, but they are
discouraging 10 those laboring 70 at
tract immigration. Every man Of re.
Election knows very well that every in
dustrious farmer who comes 10 East
Tennessee and takes one of our worn
down farms, divides it and produces
three bushels Of grain to where one
bushel was raised before is blessing.
But our people are apt TO act as though
the blessing came from them. Some
OF them seem TO feel that
it is a great favor conferred
upon a German, or Swede, or Swiss or
American farmer 10 allow him to set
tie in their midst. We should think
their bare knobs, and quilted sedge
fields about US would teach them that
every industrious immigrant was
worth lighting for by offering him in
ducements 10 settle here instead Of re-
pelling him by any obstacle. Itwould
be better for all concerned, as we have
repeatedly said, if our large farms
were divided, and half Of them sold
at half price. Such a policy would
soon populate the country and make
the land retained by present holders
worth more than the whole of their
original tract. When our people be-
gin to realize this instead of dIscour-
aging immigrants by raising prices ON
them when they conclude to accent

THE drouth that has been affecting
our immediate neighborhood, has been
prevailing for weeks in Southern and
Eastern Ohio. A Cincinnati dispatch
says:
The pastures are brown and bare,
ponds and streams are almost dried
up. Along the railroad lines fires pre-.
vail. a great deal of damage along
the Pan Handle road is being done by
the fires, consuming wheat in shock
and fences. The greatest extent of
damage is between Steubenville and
Columbus. Corn is pretty badly curled,
but is of good color, aud if rain falls
soon will make a good crop. Old resi-
dents fail to recall any season when
the heat was so severe and prolonged
so early in the season they greatly
fear that unless relief comes in the
way of rain soon, the corn crop will
fail, and cattle be driven to starvation
] for want of grass.

INFORMANT RAILROAD DECISION.


The decision of the United States
Circuit Court, in Wisconsin, affirming
the constitutionality Of the Potter
Railroad Law, is one of unusual sig.
niiicance. The decision rendered by
Associate Justice Davis, Circuit Judge
Drummond and District Judge Hop.
kins, gives it additional importance.
The last Legislature of Wisconsin
passed law imposing upon the Rail.
road Commissioners aud Attorney
General of the State the power of
scaling the rates of transportation to be
charged by the various companies of
the State. Under this law said board
prescribes for the Chicago and North
western railroad a rate for passengers
of three cents per mile, and for freight
OF six cents for every one hundred
pounds carried twenty-five miles.
This tariff, the company alleges, is
utterly destructive of its property. 1t
is twenty five per cent. lower than its
former rates. Last year its gross earn
ings were Sl5,OOO,OOO Their net
earnings were S4,5OO,OOO. Reduce the
gross earnings 25 per cent, as the new
tariff proposes, and its net earnings
would be cut down to 500, 0OO The
company's outstanding deb is S44, =
100000, upon which it annually pays
$4,000, 900 ofinterest The reduced tariff
would prevent it from paying interest
on three.fourths its bonds aud would
deprive the stockholders Of their divi-
dends. With these facts fer a basis,
nonresident stakeholder filed his In
junction bill in the United States Cir
cult Court, asking that the said State
Board be restrained from enforcing the
law, on the ground that, if enforced, it
deprived the stock holders of the road
of a part of their property without
"due compensation In most States,
we take it, an additional plea would
have been that the law impaired the
obligation of the contract made
when the charter of the road
was granted, but in the Wisconsin
Constitution there is reservation
giving to the Legislature the right to
alter or repeal a charter at any time
after it is granted The court refused
to grant the Injunction, and thereby
affirms the power of the Legislature to
pass the law. If enforced as to all the
roads, it is claimed that it will ulti-
mately bankrupt them, as the tariff is
too low to enable them to be probably
operated An appeal has been taken
TO the supreme Court of the United
States, where the decision will be anx-
lously awaited. The decision has in
the meantime weakened rail
road securities, as capitalists are
cautious about investing money in
roads subject to such supervision.
While such reservation of authority,
over railroad charters might operate
beneficialfy as TO extortionate railroad
managers, they would make invest
ments in railroad bonds so uncertain
as to materially retard the development
of the system. Even railroad stock
holders have rights and law which
deprives them of fair dividends on
their money invested is just as wrong
as that which confers upon their Off
GERS the power to extort unreasonable
rates for transportation upon shippers.
