The First Railroad

Darlington, Durham, England, in hoaor OF
the semi centennial OF the opening Of
the first steam way or tran-way. The

"A great concoursc e people assembled

THE RHODE ISLAND LIQUOR CASE

It will be q good thing if the conflict of
jurisdiction in Rhode Island between the State
and Federal officers shall lead to some clearer
understanding of the proper relations between
them. We have before shown how easily a
conflict of force might have been precipitated
in the Providence liquor cases if it had not
been for the good temper and reserve with
which those in authority treated the matter.
After this collision was avoided the State
officers have exerted themselves to obtain an
authoritative decision upon the questions at
issue. The Governor laid the facts in the
case before the Legislature, and Committee
of that body, after hearing all the attainable
facts on both sides Of the question, have now
presented report which maintains the posi-
ton Of the State authorities, fully iustifying
their action. While the report is characterized
by the moderation and candor which have
been observable throughout this discussion, it
does not hesitate to censure the Intervention
of the United States Marshal, and recommends
the passage OF u resolution directing the Gov
ernor to submit the facts in the case to the
President, that tho action of the Marshal may
be reviewed.
1t is highly desirable that the rights and
duties of United States officers III the states
should be more precisely defined. In the
present case there is a certain tendency to
overlook the strictly legal bearings of the
question and its important consequences, be-
cause of general impression that law to
prohibit drinking is impossible to execute, and
that the violation of it by anybody is venial
offense But collision which involves the
mutual relations of the local and the general
governments is at no time trifing matter,
and least of all at this time. Once before in
the history of Rhode Island such complica-
ton has given an authoritative case to the
literature of constitutional law. 1t would be
q subject of cOngratulation if the present in
cident should not only further define the
powers and duties of United States officials,
but also throw some light on the power OF
the States to execute their own laws when
these seem to the general mind incapable of
complete execution.

Muxing in which engineers and contractors
conspire to bedevl the public and shut out
all competitors who do not belong to the Ring
John Brown does not bid cents cubic
yard for excavation Of rock and 10
thousand for hemlock timber; James
Vickerman does not bid cent cubic yard
for pudding earth and the Same sum for lin
ing, unless they have private assurance from
somebody in authority that they will never be
required to furnish those items, or else that
they will be allowed to make up their losses
in some other way. We were told the other
day in the debate of contract awarded at
5000, upon which the State has had to pay
$4,000. We pointed out an instance recently
in which ono Of the Belden family took a
contract to "grub and clear" three acres of
land for reservoir at the amazing price of
$40 an acre, and the three acres grew be-
fore he had finished to 40; but we did
not mention-what we have since been
assured is the fact-that the only grubbing
and clearing necessary was to cut down and
appropriate quantity of excellent timber,
the value Of which would certainly have been
q very handsome remuneration for the labor
of telling it. This of course does not appear
in the contract, for that instrument was Mixed
and Muxed. When Mr.. Lord and others like
him tell us, in the face of facts like these,
that there Is no such thing % n Canal Ring,
they must suppose that our intellects are in
nearly the same condition as the contracts.

Several of the friends and admirers Of the late
Canon Kingsley. both in England and America, have
asked us to receive and forward contributions to the
Memorial Fund which is being raised in En-
gland, and which is to be expended in works which
will Mt once do honor to his memory and carry out
some of the most cherished plans of his life. We
cheerfully comply with this request, and will take
pleasure in acknowledging in THE TRIBUNE and
sending to England any contributions for this pur-
pose. The life and works of Canon Kingsley were
equally admirable and sincere. The example of his
Christian living and the precept of his picturesque
and glowing writings were all for the mproyem
and the benefit of his kind. 1t pleasant to share
in honors paid to such and to feel that we have
some little part in the memorials which shall testify
to the future how they were appreciated by their
contemporaries. And while we are glad to transmit
any offerings sent by the friends of this great poet
and priest who has gone to his reward, we are also
willing to take charge Of any contributions which

The feeling of pride with which we have
been accustomed to view our Public Parks
would be sadly married if it should be proved
that the charges of grave irregularities in the
use of the funds of the Department are true.
Despite the wording of the resolution adopted
by the Board of Aldermen yesterday, we are
strongly inclined to accept Commissioner
Stewards statement, and to believe that the
charges grew out of the mistake of an lgno-
rant or careless bookkeeper The most pain
full feature of the matter is that large
number OF laborerS are left without employ
ment If Mr.. Stewards Interpretation Is
shown to be the right one, the investigation
of the Board of Aldermen will at least induce
the heads of the Departments to exercise
closer scrutiny upon the acts of their subor-
dinates, and so prevent misrepresentation or
careless handling of money iatrusted to them
