under the operation of the new constitu-
tion which hitherto governed all else
within the borders of the commonwealth
except this giant corporation. II this
alleged decision of the court in Philadel-
phia is valid, the company has no longer
right to issue free passes, and those
who allege that it is under control Of the
constitution c:ln perform double pub
lie service by making legal test of this
free pass business.
THERE seems to be long loud call on
Minister Lowell to do something in the
case of Daniel McSweeney, an American
citizen, unduly deprived of his rights by
the English government. As this
" something" is in accordance with Mr..
Lowell's duties, if he does not heapthe
call for it he may be made to hear a
louder one demanding his recall.
WHEN Speaker Keifer talks about this
person, this man Hayes" he means tho
Democratic stenographer of the House
whom he bounced, and not the late illus
trious SKI Fraud.
THE Philadelphia Press strongly recon-
mends the Republicans of this county to
renominate State Senator G. S. Kaufman,
and lavishly praises him as earnest,
courageous and answering in his hostility
to all jobbery and dictation and his deyo-
tion to honest legislation aud political
virtue. And yet Stehman will not with
draw.
MONOPOLY scores another victory. Con-
tracts were executed last evening, which
practically give the Western Union tele-
graph company control of it's latest and
only important general rival, the Mutual
Union telegraph company. Happily for
our local interests, there is still an opposing
line which, it is to be hoped, will not be
swallowed by Gould's whale.
PRoGREss progresses backwards in the
progressive state of Massachusetts,. The
proposition to submit prohibition bill to
the people has failed by tie vote. 1t is
doubtful whether Connecticut has made
any advance in state government by the
passage in its Senate of bill providing
for a state board Of pardons. The pardon
ing power has heretofore rested with the
Legislature.

gressmen and legislators, as it is to the
