could not vote till she had paid her tax-bill.
And Miss Hester was not to know whether she
need to pay her poll-tax till the day of election
should come but in Swansea there was the
advantage of one town officer, while great
deal of geography was necessary to learn the
proper precinct for paying the tax, register
ing and voting Miss Frances went with one
of her friends to one Of the school-rooms ap-
pointed for the receipt of taxes. The gentle
manly clerk concluded there had been some
mistake in the recording of names, while Miss
Frances showed him the date in her diary of
the day in which she had given her name at
the city hall Miss Hester said they would
remember it at the State house, for they had
seen a number of people there that same day,
who would testify to the fact. The clerk Of
fered to receive the tax, and Miss Frances
ventured to leave the money, though Miss
Hester demurred.
But that very afternoon the receipted tax
bill arrived, and the next day Miss Frances
took it to the Registrars office. She read the
passage from the Constitution required by the
law clearly and distinctly, asking, however,
permission to put on her glasses, and she
gave her age without hesitation. She signed
her name, and then learned in what precinct
she was to vote on the appointed day.
Before this day the election at Swansea came
off 1t was decided on that day Miss Hester
and some other ladies could vote, on proving
they had duly paid their taxes. And the day
that Miss Frances voted, Miss Hester had an
election-cake made. All the nephews and
nieces came to the entertainment, and Lilly
brought Richard, for letters of parental assent
had been received. The young people must
wait, of course. 1t was not the plan intended,
but it would do. 1t was at this festivity Miss
Hester announced she should join the woman
suffrage movement. They do need some ad-
vice, she exclaimed. "The men are so help
less and so weak about making the laws, and
then explaining how they are to be carried
out"

The clan Cameron still rules In PENNSYLVANIA,
despite all the talk about its waning power
Mr.. Grow has many elements OF strength,
and some OF his friends seem to have believed
that he could win the Senatorship on his own
merits; but the result has shown that no man
can rise there who does not wear the Cameron
plaid. There has been the same sort OF talk
In New York about electing an anti Conkllng L.
S. Senator, and 1t is probably quite as idle. Mr.
Conklings seat In the dictatorship of New York
Is quite as firm as that OF Simon Cameron in
Pennsylvania, and he will name the man to be
elected L. S. Senator quite certainly.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company
seem really TO mean business 10 their profess
s1ons OF disposition to compete actively with
other lines in accommodating tn epublic. Fol-
lowing upon the announcement that they have
triumphed In their contest with the Pullman
sleeper monopoly, 1t is stated that they propose
putting dining cars on their lines, and have
some already nearly completed at the Mount
Clare works. The pattern OF Car adopted is
about fifty-two feet ia length and Will seat
thirty two guests at eight tables. The admir-
able system Of dining cars on the Burlington
and Quincy road. between Chicago and Omaha,
has shown how much the comfort OF passen-
gers can be increased In this way, under proper
management: and no doubt the Baltimore and
Ohio road will find the adoption OF this feature
q strong bid for public favor.

As announced In Yesterdays STAG. the BaltL.

As announced In yesterdays STAR, the Balti-
more Circuit Court yesterday decided adversely
to the application for a receiver In the case of
case was not, however, dismissed, but retained
In court In order that the court without actual
Interference may see that the canal Is managed
with all possible economy and regard for the
rights OF the bondholders. Some practices COM
planned OF. such % extravagant hotel bills for
directors aud others, are diScOuntenanced,
though the Prictices were not carried IA
enough, the court thought, to warrant the
costly remedy OF receiver. The decision OF TIL.
court, notwithstanding the mid reor.mald
about the BOtel bills is a substantial triumph
for A. p. German. president or the canal COM
pany, and L. $. Senator-elect from Maryland.
Every body In Maryland understands that
the canal is managed to advance the interests
Of small circle OF smart politicians, CT whom
Mr.. German is the Head Center: but at the
same time 1t is not easy to prove that the disas-
trous condition OF canal affairs existing when
they get control would have been improved to
any greater extent by any other clique of
Maryland politicians. From the fact that the
state is the owner of a majority OF the capital
stock of the canal, 1t necessarily happens that
its management falls into the hands OF the
governing men OF the political party predomi-
nant In the state 1t Is thus inevitably used as
a political machine, and the private stock
holders have small show for expecting any
business returns from an investment managed
IN this way.

Inc people OF 81. LOUIS are raising money lot
the construction of narrow-gauge system OF
railway to relieve the city of Jay Guilds mon-
opoly. For several years past narrow-gauge
road has been In operation between st. Louis
and Cairo. and 1t has proved a success. The
proposition now Is to extend this road from
Cairo to Texarkana, on the borders OF Arkansas
and Texas There is a line Of railway, OF the
same gauge, now under way between Texark-
ana and Waco, Texas. and from the latter
point the purpose is TO extend the system to
the Rio Grande, and subsequently into Mexico.
Upwards OF million dollars have been SUBJ
Scribed III st. Louis to carry on this uudertak-
Ing. and syndicate has been formed In New
York for the same purpose. TIE cream OF the
trade OF ST. Louis comes from the southwest
and every line OF railway penetrating that sec
ton. with the exception OF one uncomplete1
route, is now owned by Gould. Merchants and
property owners of st. Louis seem to have
awakened to a realizing sense of the power this
man holds over them, and they are DESTROYS Of
escaping from his clutches, even by a narrow
gauge route.
The city of Memphis surrendere! Its charter
and abandoned its corporate existence TO eS-
cape the payment OF an enormous municipal
debt that had been accommodating for years.
The holders Of the city bonds brought suit, and
the lower courts decided that In changing its
character the city had not escaped its debt.
But now the federal Supreme Court has re-
versed this decision, holding. In effect, that the
security of city bondholder terminates with
the life OF the corporation which incurred the
debt, or rather issued the bonds. In other
words, that when Memphis surrendered its
charter it got rid OF its responsibility for the
debts OF the Incorporated City, thus leav-
Ing the bondhoiderS without recourse except as
judgment creditors Of a detunct corporation.
The Supreme Court held that the public works
and buildings OF the city, or taxing district. as
It now Is, are not liable for attachment for
debt; nor can the private property be reached
except By taxation. which must be levied by
legislative authority, and not judicial The
lower court had appointed receiver to admin
lister on the effects OF the bankrupt city, in the
interest OF the bondholdsrs, but the Supreme
Court. by It's decision, cancelled this appoint
ment,

A High.tOued Organ.

As sample of the boasted editorial
dignity and high toned principles which
control the Every Evening, wepublish
the following from its editorial columns
of Saturday:
So MIR. Solomon Hersey thought he
could bribe Clerk Frazer. There IS no
use trying to evade the charge or get
some other name for it. He knew CicrK
Frazer had not the legal authority TO DO
all he asked and he knew we'll that
Mr.. Frazer would he justly esteefneo
base traitor to his own party and 1rlei'us
if he had gone out Of bis way to give
business to a paper which every mem
Der ofthat party believes to be nntrnlh-
ful. unjust and ipdecent in its treat
ment Of the party to which Mr. Frazer
belongs. 1t required cheek OF ada
mant and the moral insensiblity or
hog, to enable Mr.. Solomon Hersey to 90
t., the Democratic Clerk OF Council cleo
ted az Democrat by Democratic votes,
with ssch a request. ,.,,.
But Mr.. Hersey was qualiied lot Inns
duty, and he fully understood now ois. :
honorable an action re was Aeklrs v
Mr.. Frazer. He could but know that
auy man low enough TO DO what he
asked would be none too high to ac-
oept bribe, and so he offered Mr.. Fra
ger for himself ten dollars out of every
hundred of the city's money he could
induce him to put in the hands OF ms
employers. Mr.. Hersey thinks that II
will be very damaging to even a poitl'
cal party to fail to do all in Its power
TO rid itself of the responsibility for the
things charged against Lynch, ana So
do we, but is it not somewhat damaging
to "the party of great moral ideas Il
have as its principal Spokesman throu9l
the press in this city a fellow VINO VIII
thus basely attempt to brlbe puoil'

telligent Republicans Of this city as u

THE PRESIDENT is now passing
through the most trying ordeal Of his
sickness, and there is no knowing at
this hour what the result will be. A
nation watches the patient in the Elbe-
ron cottage with anxious and sorrcwful
feelings of affection and love of the
noble man within, in his terrible battle
for life. The latest news causes the
gravest apprehensions for the worst,
but the people are prepared and though
President Garfield may die, the nation
