The Thurman Railroad Act.
From the ST. Louis RennhIican

From the ST. Louis Republican.
Senator Thurman has just received, in
the supreme courts affirmation of the con
stitutionality of the Thurman Pacific rail-
road act, a triumph which must blunt the
pang of his defeat in Ohio. That act.
framed. reported AID urged to q passage
in the senate by the Ohio senator. is one
of great importance to the country, since
it provided the only machinery that could
be provided for compelling the Union and
Central Pacific roads to pay their debt to
the government It provides that they
shall pay over to the government certain
percentage of their earnings, amounting to
about $3.000.00o year, TO be invested as
sinking-fund for the extinguishment of
their Indebtedness to the government,
This indebtedness, at its present rate of
increase, will, by the time it falls due,
amount to nearly 10000, 900, and if the
present law could be evaded they would
probably never pay the debt The Law
compels them to pay it by small annual
instalments out of their earnings. They
resisted it on the ground that it was an
unconstitutional interference with their
chartered rights, and three of the supreme
justices take this view of it; but the de-
clsion of the court, as delivered by the
chief Justice. Is in favor of the law, and it
will. therefore. stand and have to be
obeyed. It relieves the government of the
danger of having to pay 100000. 900
which the roads alone ought to pay and
are amply able to pay. IF Mr.. Thurman
had done nothing, during his service 10
the senate, but devise this measure, i,
alone would be sufficient to entiile him to
the public gratitude.

The First Cannon Shot in the
Mexican War.

James B. Fox, of Braysville, Dear
born county, Indiana, was In the Ga
zette Office yesterday, making some
inquiries relative to the passage Of
an act by Congress granting pensions
to soldiers in the Mexican war. In
conversation with reporter he stated
that he enlisted at Newport, in Feb
ruary, 1916, and was transferred to
Company c, of the Third Light Ar
tillery, Major Ringgold's battery,
famous in the Mexican war. That
battery opened the battle of Palo
Alto, May s, 1916, the first general
engagement; and Mr.. Fox says he
pulled the lanyard of tine piece which
fred the first cannon shot in the
war-a smooth-bore brass six poun-
der. Being young and spry, when
the order to fire was given, he was
the first to load and fire his gun.
The battery lost all its officers during
the war, and afterwnrd their Second
Lieutenant was Ambrose E. Burn
side, now Senator from Rhode Island.
