out of race prejudice, etc. The OBJ

of state laws made applicable TO the
civil rights Of one class of citizsns Of
the Union and not to those Of another
class. But now comes ex-senator
Conkling, associated with Senator
Edmunds Is attorney for the road,
and argues that, as a corporation is a
person in the eye Of the law, the
fourteenth amendment forbids the en-.
forcement of any state law which de.
MES to corporations the civil rights
and immunities accorded to other per.
sons or which discriminates against
corporations In methods Of taxation
or otherwise by measures applied to
corporations and not to other persons.
This strained construction, we are
told, will, If adopted by the supreme
court, put an end to sill state regula.
ton of railroads, and wipe out most
of the existing statutes which are,
from the necessity OF the case, apple.
able to corporations alone. If the
supreme court should take Mi. Conk.
ling's view of the matter and ahi.m
the decision Of Mr.. Justice Field and
the United States circuit judge of Cal.
~ifornia, there will be q loud cry for
another amendment, erasing so
much OF the Fourteenth as mag be
susceptible CT the Conkling construc.
ton. Neither It's framers nor the
legislatures that adopted 1t ever
dreamed of any suoh application of
its provisions, and it does not seem
possible that tho supreme court will
SO construe 1t, or that Mr.. Conkling
himself, If on the bench, would de.
eide in accordance with the argument
he has made as an advocate.
An incident that followed the close
Of the argument Of this important
case before the supreme court has
created quite q scandal at the national
capital, and cannot fail to awaken
popular distruat in the integrity of
our supreme tribunal. On tho night
following the submission Of the case to
the supreme court q costly dinner was
rendered by Leland Stanford, presl.
dent of the Central Pacific road to
the eminent attorneys of that cor.
poration, and that dinner was also
attended by Justice Field of the
supreme court, who la VIGOROUSLY re.
gsrded aa a mere tool of the great
Pacific corporation. His presence at
that dinner has only confirmed the
scandal and gives rise to serious
apprehensions about tie boosted i'm.
partiality of judges of the supreme

CORPORATIONS AZ PERSONS,

CORPORATIONS AZ PEHsONE,
A very important ase is now pend

States. 1t involves the right Of the
states to regulate railways and exact
local taxes from railway companies In
accordance with the value of their
property and franchises. The case 10
an appeal from the U. S. circuit of
California.
The laws of California provide for
the taxation Of railroad property by
rules not applicable to the property Of
persons.
In taxing the property of the latter,
debts are deducted from the assessed
value. This is done ON the theory
that such deduction is necessary to
avoid double taxation, as the debts of
the property owners are taxable as
credits in the hands Of the holder.
But railroad property is not allowed
such q deduction, because railroads,
being generally built with borrowed
capital and covered with mortgages
held. beyond the tax jurisdiction of the
state, would, thereby entirely escape
taxation. So q state board In Cali
fornia assesses q corporations prep
erty as q whole, making no de.
duction for mortgages, and apportions
the whole valuation among the ooun.

of the fourteenth amendment.
That amendment, VIGOROUSLY

ruRvrNo ovER A NEW LEAF

tbHHlEd oNkFS - I'VE 1bhh
With the advent Of the new year 1t
is the custom Of many people to turn
over a new leaf. The late bird makes
up his mind to catch the early worm
by breaking of the habit Of going to
bed after midnight and rising at ten
in the morning. The punctllious
young man who wears q button-hole
bouquet at breakfast, and scowls furi-
ously at his laundress il his shirt front
is not glossy white, turns over
his tobacco leaf and smokes
only fragrant Havanas. The mincing
miss that would not be seen at the
opera house without silk slippers Ia
attacked with spssm Of old-fashioned
plsinness after the New Years bell
has rung out the change. The chronic
grumbler who never misses q hair In
his butter and makes his landlady's
life w~retched, forms a resolution that
he will swallow a cockroach In his
gravy without a murmur after New
Years.
The baggage smasher who plays
base hall with Saratoga trunks is
struck with remorse and makes q
solemn pledge that he will deal ten
DERBY with travelling sample rooms
after New Years. The swell who
travels upon his cheek is firmly 70.
solved he will pay his tailor bill after
New Years. The old reprcbate who
has been n walking distillery resolves
that he will sober up and join the sons
of temperance after New Years.
Nearly every year about this time
there Is commotion In the ''best"
social circles In favor Of a new depart
ture in the matter Of New Years en-
tertainments. These New Years reso.
lutions generally begin and end In
smoke and champagne. An address
has lately been issued by a number of
well known clergymen to the ladies Of
New York, urging them to put no wine
or strong drink upon their tables on
New Years day. These clergymen want
the ladies to turn over a new leaf by
substituting tea and coffee for the
stronger drinks that are offered to
callers on New Years day. The New
York Post thinks that tea and coffee
will hardly fill the bill for the class Of
callers who insist on making an old
fashioned festival of the day. This
class Of visitors will always find tho
of getting fuddled during their
rounds. A more effective device would
be for ladies to do away with New Years
receptions. The truth is that the sub.
stitution of tea and coffee tor wine al
ways has the air Of casting q reflection
upon the habits of the guests. No
caller could fail to notice it or feel
that hospitality was to a certain de-
gree chilled by 1t. 1t is far simpler
to lock up the front door and hang
out q card basket. This is becoming
the custom among the ''best orioles"
of the large cities of the east, where
they have solved the problem of turn
ing over q new leaf aud saving their
champagne for home consumption.
In the language of the late Mr..
Thomas, the accomplished editor Of
u local contemporary, "Let us be un-
stood that we do not want to be I'M
derstood," that we are disposed to
discourage anybody who desires to
turn over a new leaf next Monday or
at any other time.

The illness OF M. Gsmbetta is
assuming a very serious aspect. 1t is
in fact rapidly becoming a political
event of grave import. While his re-
putation has suffered from the col
lapse of his premiership and from his

ciates, he is recognized on every hand
as having two things which are very
uncommon in France at the present
time-origipal political genius and
personal influence over the consti'
tuencies as q whole. If he could sue
coed in having the electoral system
modified as it has been in Italy, his

to try mad stone. Mr.. Sullivan lives
mile east of town, and Sunday the

on Elm creek, biting large number Of

doubt but that the dog was rabid, and
the frightful consequences will cause
a shudder in the minds of all.

The outlook for the convention to-
morrow is one of harmony and success.
With the exception Of probably one
office there will be but little trouble in
naming the successful candidates. For
Representative, Capt. Stewart has car
ried Humboldt and enough delegates
will easily be secured to nominate him.
A. C. Scott will probably be nomiDat-
ed by reclamation for Clerk, as will w.
G. Allison for Probate Judge. A very
pretty fight will be made for Superin-
tendent, with Henderson in the lead,
Root and Adams closely following.
The result Is slightly mixed, but as
Henderson has his own township solid
it is thought he may make it on the
third ballot. Geo. Amos is ahead on
County Attorney, carrying Humboldt
township over ]. O. Fife. Amos has
nearly enough votes now claimed to
nominate. but Fife is slayer and may
effect a combination that would change
things materially. a. ]. McCarley
will be re-nominated for County COM
missioner on the first ballot and prob
ably by reclamation. In the above
''guessn at the result we do not aim to

result, but simply give the general
feeling as we gather the news. Should

Among other visitations upon the
Republicans of Allen county may be
noted the Democratic Congressional
Convention, which will meet at lola
next Tuesday. There will be q large
number of the faithful In attendance,
and it is presumed they will indulge
in the harmless amusements Of tossing
brick bats at the Republicans and
pointing with pride to their glorious
record of the past. This latter, how
ever, is a figure Of speech and should
be taken with some allowance the
Democrats do not, as rule. point very
far back, with pride or any other feel
ing. We have noticed that in their
conventions they generally secure
some discharged Republican, who has
been expelled for petty larceny, to
abuse the old party as thieves and
monopolists. The latter expression be-
cause Republicans usually monopolize
the fat offices and thereby much dis
gust our Democratic friends. But all
this counts for nothing. The Repub-
licans Of the county are expected to
turn out and give them good meet
ing; listen to their praise ~ Of the
Republican party; pay good attention,
and then calmly go home and get ready
to vote the straight Republican ticket.
1t is Of the utmost importance that
every shaky Republican be at their
love feast, as it always has tendency to
straighten them up. The convention
meets at O'Clock and it Is thought
that nomination will be made at
night. A full attendance of the dele
gates assigned the different counties
will give US about one hundred aud
seventy guests to entertain. We want
to see the bows treated we'll and invited
