growing sentiment in judicial circles in
opposition to the doctrine of the Dart
mouth College case being applied to
common carriers.
No matter how radical the change IN
p1lbiic or judicial sentiment may be, with
reference 10 the right of the Legislature to
limit charges by railroad companies, the
people Of the State as long As Governor
Stone fills the executive officer, instead OF
having a Judicial deternnation OF their
care must be satisfied with veto.
The object Of the writer of this article, i
to direct the attention of the public TO the
fact that Notwithstanding the well-rounded
periods, chaste dietion. AMI plausible gener-
alities. which mark the Burkitt letter, Gov
ernor Stone is now As he has always been,
bound bv his kuowledgeyhis conscience and
his oath of office. to the doctrine that any
law. which. in its terms should undertake to
compel the railroad companies in this State
to carry passengers and freight greater dis
tanc- tor less sum than the companies
themselves shall deem proper, would be an
unconstitutional law If the class Of voter,
to which Governor Stone belongs is in the
majority and desire his reelection, that's
the end OF it ; but If it is composed of a mi
uoritv of the voters it should not expect its
opponents IL surrender their views on a
subject which is to them most important,
simply to an office bearer in his present pc
sition.

1t will be well for the South To study

rhe western people do not supinely wait for

the western landhoiders form a powerful
organization which reaches out to England

I'HE railroad companies Of the United
States are pretty fair indications by
which the prosperity OF the country is
measured. In respect to the railroad
earnings for the past year, railway
journal, which is authority on such
matters, gives some figures which are
really astounding
They show that the growth in traffic which
began with an increase of 3 per cent, in
Nav, 1879 and went to a per cent over
1879 in MAY. 1880. has now further cd
yaseed in May. 1881, Ia II per cent. over
the cdFre~golQins mouth a year ago. 1t
should be remembered, however, that this
years statement Is on II per cent larger
mileage. But even with that qualification
the result reached is remarkable.
This prosperity exists notwithstand-
ing in nearly all the States laws are in
force asserting the iesisla i've power
to regulate freights and fares. The
truth is these laws have produced a
good understanding between the public
ana tne corporations, and by creating
confidence on tie arr Of lie public that
che power exists to prevent wrongs, they
have given railroad building a powerful
impetus.
