grown ND in many mid-Western cities ltte
broker-sbops and agencies tor buying and

cannot be agreeable or profitable to the com
panies is easily perceived, and they have pro,
cured in some of the States the passage Oh
laws to forbid it.
The law of Indiana, for example, passed
about FIVE years ago. cndeavors To harmonic

Unable offence. Under this law ticket bro
ker was indicted, last Winter, and ais defence
was that the law was unconstitutional, chIehy
m this that it is regulation OF commerce.
,uch as a State Legislature cannot prescribe |;
Congress has exclusive power to regulate
commerce among the States. The decision 81 the
supreme Court is against him. The Court says
that the true rule and limit between the otae
and National powers is this: that state
cannot impose any burdens charges upon
commerce to other States cannot create oD-
Stacles to it. Travel and transportation DE-
ween the States must be free, except so faI
Is Congress may lay restrictions. But Ia"
equIring a railroad company to redeem It's
unused tickets, and forbdding brokers to buy
them for speculation, does not involve any
hindering of railway traffic The companies
can prosecute their business of transportation
and travellers can come and go as freely as
ever. The law affects only the disposal of the
ticket as a subject of sale within the State
Only the trade between traveller and ticker
broker. 1t is therefore, fully within the au-
thority of State Legislatures. State can
send ticket scalpers to jail.

ECHOES FROM STONY POINT

Almost any event is invested with rather more
than it's normal historical Importance on the occa-
sion of It's Tooth anniversary, and when the
event chances TO be one of intrinsic dignity tho
centennial revival of historical research Is liable
TO be succeeded by a good deal of flowing aud
conflicting historical narration. 1t was altogether
natural then that while General Hawley was pre-
pariug his Stony Point grafton, other hIstor1ogra-
pliers should occupy themselves in raking
about among our Revolutionary records, aud
il would not 90 at all surprising IL any
two centennial descriptions Of Mad Anthonys

THE TICKET SCALPERS IN COURT

The constitutionai.y of Western laws against
the ticket scalDers" has recently been sus-
famed by the Indiana Supreme Court. Ticket
scalplng is petty brokerage business in rail-
road tickets which has arisen within the past
few years out of the peculiar conditions and
compettion under which the trunk lines run
ming westward are operated. All roads carry
ing between the Atlantic coast and the far
West pass through Cheyenne, and all but one
through the neal nelghborhOOd of Omaha.
and are obliged to perform the engagement of
their through tickets by means of connections
with the Union Pacific (and Central Pacific
beyond) at some mid-continental point such
as Omaha or Cheyenne. There is no other
transcontnenta route. Therefore, in respect
To all carriage OF passengers to or beyond
these mid-contnental points Of connection, all
the lines run in necessary and severe compe-
tition, compelling them to offer through
tickets at the lowest rates possible.
With respect TO travel between the At
lantic and these middle points Speaking gen.
orally, the region OF the Missouri and Mlssls-
sippi Rivers). the competition is much less,
and is lessened in proportion as the journey I'M
dertaken Is shorter. A passenger for Grafton
almost necessarily buys his ticket from the
Baltimore and Ohio Road for Pittsburg, from
the Pennsylvania Central; for Dunkirk, from
the Erie; for Toledo, from the New-York
Central. Each road has special advantages
of distance and time for the short Journeys !,
all are on AN equality for the long ones. Thus
the price OF through tickets is so depressed by
extreme competition as to be much lower In
proportion to distance travelled than that of
short journey tickets, and the shrewder class
of travellers have for some years past been
aware that money could be saved by pur-
chasing q through ticket travelling upon 1t

Mrs. Fletcher Harper, jr., corrects, in a let
ter given on another page, a misapprehensiOn
respecting the Sea Shore Cottage. 1t is shown
that this is designed to be as nearly as posi-

The Newman Hall divorce case in London
was far more odorous than the famous case in
this country which it naturally suggests, but it
was soon ended and hurried out of the way,
instead of being prolonged for months by the
vanity of counsel and the morbid curiosity of
the public The charges against the Rev. Mr..
Hall were brought in retaliation for the accu-
sations made by him against his wife, and
the verdict was speedily rendered in his
favor.
An Unexpectedly light vote in Tennessee
upon the proposition to scale the debt, less
than one-half the usual vote being cast, leaves
the fate of the scheme somewhat i'll doubt
1t seems likely that it has been defeated
Unfortunately for the good name of Tennes-
see, this cannot be construed as the result Of
honest opposition to reputation. 1t is very
much to be feared that it is due to the infiu-
ence of those who will now proceed to demand

The fourth of the series of papers on the
Silurian Age, by s. w. Ford, deals with the
life of what is known as the Trenton period,
which followed the Canadian. The attempt Is
made here, as in the former papers, TO show
that there is harmony of plan and of structure,
and succession of life wholly different from
what would be naturally expected under the
ltheory Of descent with modification.
Mr.. Oliver Johnson's eighth paper, which is
printed elsewhere, is perhaps the most inter-
testing of those given thus far 1t describes
the formation of the first Anti-Slavery society,
which was composed originally of just twelve
members and was somewhat divided, even
within these narrow bounds, upon questions of
nolicy. To those who can look back upon the
finished work Of emancipation, there is some
thing strikingly picturesque in the humble
beginnings of the movement, the obloquy
which was visited upon these obscure men of
pure purpose, by many of the best men of the
country, and the prophetic confidence of the
leader of the little band that the cause
which they represented would triumph in the
end. One impressive prediction by Mr. Garri-
son to this effect is recorded in this article.

very prevalent.
Judge Westbrooks opinion in the case of Com
missioner Nichols embodies some very severe
reflections upon the action of the Mayor, ana
acts in some sense as a check upon his present
course, though it can hardly have any pracu-
cal effect rs to the choice of the Inspect
ors of Election. Judge Westbrook grants the
writ of certiorari asked for, with respect 10
review of the action of the Mayor, decIh-
ing TO issue a writ to the Governor. Ihe
opinion takes the ground that under 'he
charter, removal must be for such a caus'
as the law would recognize, ana tnat Ine
accused officer is entitled TO all the usual prlVi
leees of the law-to have notice, specifications
of charges, a judicial hearing with inc ana oi
counsel. the right of crOsS-examlnlng VIII
resses. etc. All the safeguards of the law, II
is declared. were disregarded in this case, ex-
cent that giving notice. Whether this view
of the law would be sustained on review or
not. the present situation is calculated to
Worry the Anti Tammany Reformers.
We shall soon know whether the Park Com
mission also is to be reOrganized in the inter
est of Mr. Tilden's peculiar kind OF reform.
The Mayors Commissioner of Accounts has
competed his examination of the books OF the
Park Department, and transmitted his report
to the Mayor. 1t is characteristic OF That oD-
stinate good luck which attends Mr.. l1lden, IN
spite of all his delays and plumbers, that TINS
report should show abundant reasons for the
reconstruction of the Park Commission. II he
is anxious to bring it about. His ann will he
political and personal, of course. but II he de-
sires he can choose his own pretext with which
the public can be assured that the change Is
made solely ID their interest. The Commits
sioners have exceeded their appropriations on
four items and have thus committed an Of
fence against the Charter, which has no donht
been committed many times before, but still
furnishes that solid basis of fault OF which
the Mayor Is supposed TO be in search. But
the principal portion of the indictment against
the Commissioners is based upon the manner in
which the Riverside Drive contract has been
administered Here, we presume, there Will
be very little sympathy with the Commission
ers in any criticism that may be made, or any
action that may he taken by the Mayor The
interests Of the city seem to have been dellb-
erately dsregarded and the interests OF the
contractors carefully protected from the first.
The Board repeatedly rejected propositions
for Investigation, and when finally an investi-
CATION was fairly forced upon the members, they
refused to dismiss the engineer who, as the
inquiry had shown, had fallen short Of his
duty. Let it be added to this that no one
who rs familiar by actual observation with the
present condition of the public parks believes
the present Board to be an efficient one, and we
are brought around again to the cOntempla-
ton of Mr.. Tilden's usual luck.
