Verify the marriage law doth bear
down hard-sometimes. For it came
to pass that young man and a young
woman living near the Arkansas line
did want to marry, and the aforesaid
young man and young woman last
week did start to town on foot to pro-
cure the necessary license. By and by
they came to a river which doth bear
the name of Current, and, not knowing
there was ferry, they waded across
said stream. Arriving at the Record
er's office that high functionaTy began
to quiz them, and they were forced to
admit that the young lady was not of
age Accordingly they We're informed
by the Recorder that he could do moth
ing for them without the consent of
the young lady's mother. The young
man said he was authorized to write
the mothers consent and sign her
name, but the Recorder told him that
he could not attach the great seal of
his office to the license until he had
better evidence of the mothers con-
sent. At this the young couple were
so. ely vexed and did seek the advice of
all aged gentleman of whom they had
heard. The aged gentleman could do
nothing for them, and they departed
sorrowfully, the young man remark
ing that they "wouli do the best they
could, but he was like u child-he
didn't know what was best" We
presume he found ont what was best.
for he returned the following day with
the mothers consent, and the neces-
sary papers were issued. Doniphan

The Coming Conflict.

The time has been when railroads
were fragmentary arrangements. They
were small i'm extent, and each road
acted independently. But it is differ
ent now. They are a great interest
now, and their proper administration
demands perfect system, and system
and monopoly are twins.
The railroad system has developed
TO such an extent in Missouri that the
question has now arisen as to which
shall control, the railroad or the State
The convention which framed our pres
ent Constitution tried to grapple with
the matter, but the extent to which il
succeeded remains to be seen. The
constitutional provisions in the case
are as follows:
Art. II, Sec. IL, requires railroads to
charge pro rata for passengers and
freight-that is. if they charge one dol
lar for one hundred miles, they can
only charge twenty-five cents for TWEEN.

Sec. IS allows any railroad company

right to intersect, connect with, or
cross any other railroad, and requires
them to receive and transport each
Others passengers, tonnage, and cars,
loaded or empty, without delay or dis
elimination.
But Sec. II is the most important
and therefore We will give it verbatim:
No railroad, or other corporation, or the
Iessees, purchasers or managers of any rail.
road corporation, shall consolidate the stock,
property or franchise of such corporation
with, or lease or purchase the works or fran
chise of, or in any way control any railroad
corporation owning or having under its con-
troll parallel or competing line; nor shall any
officer of such railroad corporation act an
officer of any other railroad corporation own

peting line. The question whether railroads
are parallel or competing lines shall, when
demanded, be decided by a jury, as in other
civil issues"

issue js likely to be joined between the
State and the railroads.
Jay Gould is directly interested in
not less than six railroads traversing
the State of Missouri. 1t is irrational
to suppose that man Of his foresight
and business ability would deliberately
place himself in antagonism to the La VS.
of a State, which were fairly intrench-
ed in the State Constitution. 1t may
be observed that he has i'm 4, great
measure b"ught into these railroads
since the adoption of the Constitution,
and SO had it before him when he
bought. 1t is much more likely that
coming events cast their shadows be-
fore, rand that he applied his influence
where it would do the most good, and
taat would be obviously in a State
Constitutional Convention, so as to
obtain a Judgement in the organic law
of the State in favor of his plans which
would control all the legislation Of the
State and could not be set aside except
by the vote of the whole people. A
little examination will show that he
has made his point. In the first place,
he gained in section Is, authorizing
to connect at,th lines with railroads
in other States. This brings every
railroad so connecting under the oper-
alton Of the power of Congress to reg
ulate commerce among the several
States. 1.-The right to regulate COM
merce regulates transportation" 20
Wheaton, 1923 and 1897 The power to
regulate commerce includes everything
in relation not only to the mode of car
rying it on but also to the terms upon
which it shall be carried on. (See
Madison's letter on the tariff.)
The Supreme Court Of the United
States has decided that the power to
regulate commerce is the power to pre-
scribe the rule by which commerce
shall be governed. Gibbons VS.. Og-
den; 9 Wheaton 1897 The Govern
ment has discretionary power.
The power to regulate is exclusively
in the general Government. Drown
VS.. Maryland; II Wheaton, 419, 445.)
There are nearly one hundred decis-
ions defining and enforcing this right,
but it is admitted on all hands that it
does not include commerce between
man and man, or between different
parts of the same State.
The right to regulate commerce in
wolves the right to regulate auxiliaries
of commerce by establishing post offic-
es and post roads. The relations be-
tween those two rights were shown in
the case of the Wheeling and Belmont
Bridge Company. a suspension bridge
was built across the Ohio river at
The merchants of Pitts
burg assailed the undertaking in the
United States Supreme Court, and the
bridge would have been taken down,
but Congress interviewed and made it a
mail route, and then under the postal
laws it could not be touched.
To bring these facts to bear on our
case: When the Constitution of Mis-
souri, places her railroad system in
with the railroad and postal
route system, it puts the whole thing
put of the hands of the State, and our
State Board of Railroad Commission
ers is farce.
This subject involves the discussion
Of the whole railroad question, and
will demand more than one article.

Uncle Hyatt's Smart Dog.

Uncle Sanders Hyatt says that about fifty
years ago he owned dog whose bark he be-
came so well acquainted with that he could
tell in moment what kind of animal il was
running, and whether il wasa male or female.
One day he heard her open upon a male fox
squirrels track not far from the house, so he
picked up his gun and followed her. She
soon reached a swamp and seemed to be hav-
ing something. While he knew it was male
fox squirrel. he could not understand why she
should bay il. She soon had the varmint,
however again on the run still further in the
swamp. When she bayed again he soon
reached cluster of bushes at which she
seemed to be barking, and there he saw q
huge rattlesnake in its coil.
With sharp eye and a steady nerve, on
which he prided himself IN those days, he
quickly sent bullet through his snAkeship's
head. He then approached, and noticed that
the snake looked uncommonly large in the
middle Of its body. he cut il open with his
knife, when out jumped the fox squirrel and
made for the nearest tree. A ball from his
rifle soon brought the squirrel to the ground.
and ii made him good dinner. He saws that
the squirrel must have run too close to the
snake while attempting to get away from the
dog, and was in consequence caught and
swallowed, while the dog was not to be fooled
out OF his game; hence the following Of the
track of the snake Corsagfoa (ky.) Enter

A New Implement Of War.

According TO the London Times, Major N.
Willoughby Wallace, of the Kings Royal
Rifles, has invented and patented in England
and ON the continent spade to meet the re-
qurements of the authorities--first, that il
shall render men independent of any ground;
secondly, that it shall cut roots thirdly,
that il shall be able to lever up stones
fourthly; that II shall be useful in camp life,
and. il necessary, be capable Of breaking
open boxes Of ammunition or provisions;
filthy, that it shall be able to loophole
wall and sixthly, that it shall combine light
ness and durability. The tool may be
described generally a small pickhead,
about seven inches long, formed by a steel
armoring which surrounds a wooden crutch-
head, and is securely fastened by rivets and
screws both to the crutch and to the ha ndle,
which are Ct ash. One end Is a pick, the
other a grubber, both Of solid steel. The
blade is of peculiar shape, fiat at the bot
tom for cutting purposes. and hollow in the
upper portions. A protection guards the
knuckles and forms fulcrum when the tool
is used as lever. The length over all IL
twenty-,hree inches, and the weight is only
two and quarter pounds. The tool is also
specially useful for military mining pur-
poses, when men have to work with spade
and pick in confined spaces; and it would be
a very formidable weapon Of defense at close
quarters
