THE GRANGER CASES.

There seems to be widespread misap-
prchensiOn of the recent decisions III the
Granger" cases. They are not only thought
to render all railroad investments insecure,
but to seriously impair corporate property of
all kinds. How far these fears are from the
truth few simple statements will show.
/. The Supreme Court of the United States
in the Dartmouth College case, many years
ago, established the great principle that a
charter granted by State and accepted by
the cOrporatOrs became a contract between
them. not to be changed by the State in any
material provision without the consent of the
other contracting party the corporation. This
decision was followed by many others in nearly
every court of last resort in the country
to the same effect. This doctrine was no.
where seriously questioned until after some of
the Western States had attempted to "rcgu-
late" railroad charges by establishing maxi
mum schedules below the current rates
charged by the corporations. Ex-Judge
Redfeld, an able writer upon railway law,
published an ingenious argument to show that
the Dartmouth College decision was unsound.
This created some uneasincss in business and
legal circles, principally because it suggested
mcihoh vi lc''SonIAg ny which the supreme
Court, if inundated by the Western clamor,
might reverse that decision without an entire
sacrifice Of consistency. The Granger eases ~
raised the precise point. On the one side
it was urged that the charters of the
companies involved were contracts within
the established principles of the college case,
and must be protected; on the Other side 1t
was said that that case was wrong in principle
and should not be followed; but if the court
were of different opinion on that point, the
State laws regulating rates should nevertheless
DO sustained, because express power to alter,
amend, or repeal the charters had been reserved
to the State. The court took the latter view.
But upon the important point whether in the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-03-24

would come off. Whether the Prcsi-
dent himself encouraged such expec'a-
tons or not is not material; IL il
enough that he did not discourage them.
Tickets have now been purchased to such
an entertainment, and sanguinc not to say
sanguInary audience has been waiting for over
n fortnight for Mr. Hayes TO put upon the
stage the millennium which everybody knows
he brought with him from Ohio and can start
ot ten minutes notice. The people ana the
press are not ACKNOWLEDGMENT the SUSPICION
They ask merely for the millennium. They are
not impatient. They have waited for 1t whole
fortnight. They now quietly but firmly demand
that the show 20 on. The lion seems to be all
ready: let us have the lamb led out and the
two left alone together without further delay
There is some doubt, it must be confessed, as
70 how the lion will behave under such cir
cumstances and that doubt adds tlnge OF
uncertainty to the future of the lamb; but
such considerations must not be allowed 10
weigh against the wish of the persons Ill the
front seats to have the show begin. The new
Administration must give us the millennium at
once or the press of the country will know the
reason why. Never mind the lamb: bring the
animals together.

II will not be a great matter Of surprise to
orr life insurance companies if the Legislature
should pass the measure to extend 80 days
grace on lfe-insurance premiums. Something
of this sort has been attempted during several
successive Winters at Albany. The ultimate
result il this becomes law will be that the extra
80 days, like the three days grace on promls-
sorry notes Will be counted in by people VINO
have to pay premiums as a part Of their ordl-
nary calculation of the time of payment Alt'r
a while it will be as rare for a man to pay HIS
premium before the grace expires as IL now Is
TO pay notes beforehand. And then the days
of grace will not help the improvident, the
forgetful, or the people in straltened clrcum-
stances, any better than the present system
The Bridge Ring in the Assembly stands
firm. BY a combination among the members
of that body, the first since the canal expo,
sures of 1875, appropriations were lnJec'eu
into the Supply bill on Thursday for enough
bri6ges to roof over most of the gOod-slzed
creeks in the State. 1t will surprise nobody
to learn that Syracuse got "a large bridge by
favor of Mr. Alvord. That is Mr.. Alvords
wav. and. it must be said, also the way OF
70 learn that Mr.. Alv0rd, having slept upon
the matter, moved yesterday, in his remorse,
TO strike out all the bridges, including his own.
The Assembly, however, held them man
fully. and Mr.. Alv0rd found himself beaten
back. with but half dozen men behind hun.
Wherefore we say that the Bridge Ring stands
firm That is the Rings way.
All the weight Of precedent is in favor OF
growing up in profession, not OF boit'ng
into it late in life and out OF breath with the
race already run. The Brooklyn boOkkeeper
who turned burglar at 40 has had the luck OF
most amateurs. While in tie very commission
of q robbery that would have done credit to
an old hand, he left behind him the
details of a simple and inexpensive plan
by which he might be captured, and then
walked straight into the trap set in accord
ance with his own instructions. 1t is safe to
say that he will not be welcomed as an equal
by the members of the craft. The man who
would literally clean out a bank III revenge
for reduction of salary displays noble spirit
which might well commend him to the whole
brotherhood of burglary but when this same
dashing til-liner writes his employers to put
a certain advertisement in the newspapers, If
they are willing to compromise, and, seeing IT.
walks cOnlidingly into the arms OF the police,
he ceases to have any claim on the goodwill
of the profession. He becomes simply an am
bilious but hopeless amateur, and the men VINO
have given their lives to the business will hiss
him ont of it as an upstart. Moral: Begin
early.

Controller Kelly's statement concerning the
ferry leases raises the interesting question why
the city has no rights which the ferries are
bound TO respect. Piers are occupied without
authority from the city; ferry companies con-
tinue to run their boats, though they ceased, III
one instance, twelve years ago to pay for the
priyilece; the larger companies are running
without leases or refuse to pay, and tho
largest of all is now resisting the city's

There has been a notable case of conscience
at Albany. A good many of the valuable
papers and records, the loss of which from the
archives was recently discovered. have been
secretly returned by some one who
was repenting by stealth and would have
blushed to find himself in the newspapers.
The work of restitution is apparently not
completed 1t is to be hoped that there is
enough conscience among these criminals to so
round. Relics of the early KnicEerbochcr rule
are not so plenty that we can willingly lose
any of them.

Why They pidnt Co..

Some ten days ago the Sioux and
Arapahoe scouts at Red Cloud asked to
be allowed to go out and harvest some
Nez Perces scalps. They wanted to join
Harris command. This request seemed
reasonable enough, and permission was
granted; but Crazy Horse interposed an
objectionI saying there would be trou-
BILE if the scouts were allowed to depart.
His pretext was that the scouts,
instead of going after Joseph
and his band, were to be used in
a campaign against Sitting Bull. He
was the friend Of Sitting Bull, and he
did not propose to see his own kind
turned loose against him, and he was
satisfied that the scouts were to be used
for that purpose. On this fiimsy pre-
text Crazy Horse made such q row that
the order permitting the departure of
the scouts was suspended. This was
the only COURSE to pursue under the cir
cumstances.

the United States are selling it. No

A Painless sauax cremated.

The Reno Journal tells the sad fate
of n squaw named Mary, who left her
husband, Sam, to live with a brave
named Jim. About fifty Piutes, Sin
Guiding several squaws, escorted her to
the hills just back of Washoe Lake last
Saturday evening, where, safe from
Caucasian intrusion, they made a big
pile of sagebrush, and after tying her
firmly in the middle of it, set it on fire.
Then they commenced a war dance
around the scene of cremation, in which
all joined except Jim-Sam being very
fierce in his leaps and yells. Tbs
screams Of Mary added to the zest Il
the dance. Jim meantime sat quietly
by and seemed an Indifferent spectator
to what was going on. When the body
of the unfortunate Mary had been re.
duced to ashes Sam expressed himself
as satisfied and they dispersed. The
warriors threatened their squaws will
a similar fate if they are not a little
more discreet in their conduct.

SCHOOL STATISTICS.
Various Facts and Figures Relating to
Our Public Schools.

From the annual report Of Col. w.
D. Pease, clerk of School District Nc.
1, to Rev. J. Y. Cowhick, County
Superintendent, WI extract the subjoin-
ed items of interest, not heretofore
published.
During the last term of school IN this
city six teachers were employed at
average salaries of s113. 1874 per month,
making the total cost of tuition for the
school year beginning Sept LIST, 1877.
s16,G0s.
The report shows that during last
term there were 80 female and $50
male scholars. This gives as the average
cost for tuition for the year the very
low figure of s1.43s per scholar.
The original school building was
erected at a cost of 5000, and the
addition. which was in course OF
erection at the date of the last annual
report, cost ss,432. 90; the total cost
of the building being s~1s,665,60.
1t is located on Block No. $50, and the
value of ground and building is fully
$50, 200.
There are five fine school rooms and
one large audience room in the build
ing, all finished in fine style and filled
with latest patent seats. There is
also n library room, 1Gx24 in size and
fully furnished.
The total sum raised during the last
school year for all school purposes was
S15, 1893. 03. There vas paid on the
purchase of lots and for permanent I'M.
provements, S1,232.17. There is nc
teachers fund on hand at present.
The school library is as yet In its
incipiency. There are present O.
volumes on the shelves, and as only
500 per annum is allowed for the pur'
chase of new books, it will not increase
very rapidly unless our rich men fall
into the habit of endowing it, either
before or after death, as is the custom in
older cities.
For the term now under way the
Board decided upon n change of text
books, which has been made, the
National Readers and Spoilers being re
placed by Barnes new series, and Mon
teith's Geography by Guyot's.
