PROTECTION OF INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Mr. UuARLEs FaAKc1s AnAAB, Jr., opposes
the proposition tha. Congross shall enact
legislation which ahall enable the National
Government to use It's strong arm to prevent
the violent interruption Of tho railroad bus'-
ness Of tho country. I1e appsars TO 10 1,ar-
tic,larly antagonhuo To tho proposition bs.
cause 1t was recommended by Col. THOMAS
A. ScoTr III his recent article III tho North
Ame711an Ieoiao, from which fact ha seems
to conclude that 1t IL railroad scheme. But
tho proposition did uot originate with Col.
Scorr, uor any other 1aflroad man. It was
q sort Of spontaneous suggestion Of tho peo-
pie; the necessity for nationat legislation in
the matter was felt generally as soon as the
late railroad strike had demonstrated that q
conspiracy 10 stop tho operation Of tho rail-
roads was not merely State Or q local afuir
but q national calamity. It became
apparent that railroal transportation is
a. essentially q feature Of intar-
State commerce a. transportation on tho
lakea and rivers, aud that 1t u as important
that tho interstate highways Of the land
should bo under the immediate protection
OF tho United States GoyoEumont, when vio-
lsntly assaulted, a. 1t IL that the interstate
highways by water be similarly protected.

LOCAL TAXATION,

ornment in which tho pooplo taxed had no

mysterious In tho American Eystoin OF taxa-
ton It Ia as old rs tho colonies founded 250
years ago. It IL based on tho Fundamental
idea OF popular representation aud delegated
authority. Tho tax-collcctor Is not tho rop-
rosantative Of an arbitrary md iron rule, hut
q person appointed by tho people to receive
their contributions for tho support of Gov
ornmcnt. Yet there is a common complaint
Of excessive taxation courletl with M inlis-
position to discharge tho political duties by
which taxation Ia regulated. Tho problem,
therefore, Is to procure such system Of tax-
alton as will ut once simplify the methods Of
collection, distribute tho burdens eouitably,
and bring It home to tho people Is closely as

The spring term OF our Circuit Court
(Judge W. J. Barten presiding) adjourned
I. few days since. \ very large amount OF
business was disposed Of. The court was
only in session four days, and forty-nine
conl1non-law cases were disposed OF and
ninctv-two DEGREES entered. We are spe-
ciaily blessed in this county with good
circuit Judge. He is universally liked, and
can dispatch business more rapidly than any
Judge / have ever known. During his
whole judicial term here OF some six years
there hes only been one appeal from MS de-
cl>ion. HENRY.
