THE RAILROAD TAX.


The Legality of the Tax ON the Maine
Central Railroad Sustained by the Su-
preme Court.
LEWISTON, April GA special despatch
from Washington to the Journal says the U. S.
Supreme Court sustains the validity of the state
tax on the Maine Central Railroad. This tax
was first assessed in 1874, and was resisted by
the road on the claim that the charter exempt
ed it, and a temporary mi JUNCTION obtained
WASHINGTON, April 29--The following de-
ciscn was rendered in the Supreme Court:
Ne 953. Maine Central Railroad Company vs.
the State of Maine. error to the Supreme Court
of Maine.
In this case it is held that the former rail
road companies known as the Androscoggin
and Kennebec and the Penobscot and Kenre-
bec which were by their charters exempt from
cettain taxation by the state when their were
consolidated as the Maine Central incapacitat-
ed themselves from the further performances of
the duties dsvolved upon them by they char
tiers, and have thus lost the exemption claimed
for the new corporation. Hence the tax now
imposed upon their franchise as the property Of
the new corporation does not impair the con.
tract of exemption set up and is valid. Affirm.
ed. Justice Field delivered the opinion.

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The an
nual meeting Of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company was held at New York The re-
port of the directors WAS read, showing that
the business of the road was increasing salts
factorily. The gross earnings for the year
were 81, l93, 3Sl, and the expenses were S63l,-
302, leaving a net increase of sl69,S ,SSl over
last year. The several divisions of the road
have been operated without accident, and
been maintained IN good working order, and
the condition OF the road is fully up TO the
average OF railroads Of the country. On ac-
count of wear and tear, one hundred and
forty miles of new rails will soon have to be
laid between Brainard and Fargo. The op-
erations of the land department have been
active, nearly three quarters of a million of
acres beingdisposedof. The report says that
in nine counties in Minnesota, and in seven
counties of Dakota mtersected by this road,
the area under cultivation this year was 30,
OG0 acres, of which $4,000 was III wheat +;
and the new breaking already accomplished
in the same counties Will add i33, ,000 acres
for next years crop. The population has
increased forty per cent. in nine months
and the wheat product has been most bonn

Nor VERY PLAUsIBLE.-The alleged an
swer made by the Russian government to the
inquiry of the English regarding the Russian
embassy to Cabul, is rather diaphanous. The
Russians are reported as stating that they
had merely sent the embassy as matter OF
courtesy, and for no political ends whatever.
As an answer this is almost insulting, for 1t
looks as though the st. Petersburg govern
ment hsr,lly cared to maintain the semblance
OF fair dealing, and would not trouble itself
to invent even plausible lie to cover ITS
chicanery. Considering the fact that RusSla
has pledged herself to abstain from all iuter-
ference with the ruler of A.fghanstan, the
open dispatch of a mission to Cabul might
have seemed to demand some explanation
bat when the arrival of that mission at Its
destination is speedily followed by defiance
of the British government an the part OF the
Amir, the demand for speciOus apologies
gows much stronger 1t is not to be eX-
pected that the English government will put
up with this pre?osterous statement but 1t
is to be hoped that at last it will recognize
the hopelesSneSS of counting upon RUSSIAN
pledges or Russian honor. Lying and cheat
ing are the favorite arts of MuScovlte d.
plomacy, and have been since the days OF
Catharine, not to go further back. The
Russian government in fact hasin no instance
KEEP. faith with another country when its
own interests appeared to suggest the desira-
hihty of breaking its pledges. In Asiatic
diplomacy it has made itself notorious for
mendacity and base trickery, and 1t would
be simply fatuous for the English cabinet to
place any further reliance upon its shutting
and tricky assertions. The course to take is
that which will most surely and swiftly
avenge the insolence of the Amir of Cabul,
and it is to be hoped that this Will be done
So etfectUally that no more Russian missions
will ever have an opportunity OF entering
that country.

EyLAnGEp.-For mcnths past the pres
sure upon the columns Of the WEEKLY
STATESMAN has been such that We rcai!Led
the necessity for an enlargement 1hlS
has been done by lcngthenlng the columns
and otherwise changing the make up
The STATESMAN Of this week appears in
its changed form, and We think it not too
much to claim for it the merit Of being
the ncatest country paper published Oh
the Pacific coast. 1t is, also, the only
paper in Washington territory that takes
teicgraphic dispatches, and thus gives lts
readers The news from two to three days
III advance Of its contemporaries. This
prosperity has been attained by strict at
tcntion To business, and determination
at all times to give our readers = good
newspaper. Our success has been FIR be-
yond our expectations, and to-day II IS
known far andwide that the NALLA WALLA
STATESMAN is the most valuable establish
ment of The kind on the Pacific coast
We now import all our paper, card stock,
etc. direct from Chicago, and thus escape
the payment of San Francisco and Port
land charges. This prosperity, too, at a
time when one-half the papers III Wash
ington territory are printed on patent
outsiics, and the other half making a
desperate struggle for existence. Our
success sas been achieved III tie face Of a
desperate and mnscrupulous opposition,
headed by man who claimed 10 be III
sympathy with us politically, but in fact
were and are destitute Of principle
Though the favor Of a generous pahlic
and the friends who have stood by us
through sunshine and storm, We have now
reached 4 position from which we can look
down with Scorn upon these puny assail-
ants and defy their assaults Firmly
planted III the emporium OF the great III
terror basin, We have the means and ell
ergy to keep pace with the times, and in
tend t. make the STATESMAN for the
Columbia River country, what the Sa'tra-
meuio t'',o's vas for So long a period for
Northern California. In presenting the
paper to It's readers in an improved form.
We ask a continuance If the liberal na-
tronage of the past, and sHggesJ that our
friends as occasion offers will procure Us
new subscribers All favorS of this kind
viii be duly appreciated, and when op-
portunlty offers reciprocated And now
launching the STATESMAN upon lis new
career, We extend To our readers one and
all a cordial greeting.
