Dublin, 6.-Acting upon instruc.
lions from the American Govern.
ment, Stephen J. Meany, the Ameri.
can newspaper correspondent. who
was recently arrested at Ennis. has
TAKEN a most decisive course for the
purpose of testing the legality of his
arrest. He has notified Mr.. Purcell
resident magistrate of Ennis that
he surrenders his recognizances tn
be OF good behavior and keen tbe
peace, entered into on August nth.
In his communication to Mr.. Pur-
ell, Meany says: II no longer con.
slider myself bound by the condi-
tlOnS aid obligations of the recog-
nlzances; L cannot, as an American
citizen, carry the stigma of a British
6ondSman, and, unaccused or uncon-
VIcted of Offenses, continue the con.
tesslen OF lawlessneSs that a con-
tlnusnce of the bonds would ia
volye. l thus place myself in the no.
sltlOn occupied at the police barracks
IN Ennis prior to the execution of
my recOgnizances; but | shall, for
thlrty-siX hours, hold myself on
parole for your action" Meany's
sureties likewise notified Purcell. at
the instance of Meany, that they
refuse to hold themselves obligated
by the bonds and asked to be alb
solved from all further responsible
lty in this regard. They state, at
Meany's request aud by his consent,
that theV are DFeDared at aOU fino
within thirty-six hours to surrender
him into police custody. 1t is a
noteworthy fact that while sur
rendering himself to one magistrate,
Meany is the guest of another, Mr..
OGorman, justice of the peace Of
BurcrOggy. Meany's friends intenG
publicly to entertain him.
The services of the special con-
stables have been dispensed with.

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-06-15

The whole cost has, since The Alliance Israe-
LIE has stopped its operations, been thrown
on the Mansion House fund. But, accord
ing TO the arrangement adopted at the Ber-
lin Internatial Conference, the continental
committees will hencsforth pay the whole
cost OF the journey from the Russian from
tier TO England, snd also a share of the cost
OF settlement in America. Emigrants reach
ing London are dealt with BY a conjoint
committee Of the Mansion House fund, and
Of the Jewish Board OF Guardians, under
the management OF Mr.. E. NJ. Leon
and Mr.. Lionel Alexander; for it
must be remembered that Brody is
not the only outlet, although it has always
afforded the best facilities for escape. The
total number OF refugees forwarded to Amer
lea TO the present date at the sole cost of the
Manchester House Committee is 1869. About
900 will be shipped this week alone At the
present rate of expenditure the Mansion
House fund will in about two months be en-
tirely exhausted, unless replenished from
some new source. Meantime, Brody is over
whelmed with the incursion of 1900 help
less refugees, the greater number camping
out IN the open streets, living on the one
form per head per week supplied by the
committee. And the question naturally sug-
gests itself, what will happen when all the
money shall have been spent, and when fresh
thousands shall take the place of those now
being relieved, and when those thousands
shall yet remain in Brody waiting a turn
which NAV never come?

AND THE KAILRoADs.

Slowly but surely the greed, discrimina-
ton and njustiee that hSs marked the
duct of many of our railroads are bringing
their needed correction. Fourteen States
have now railroad commissions whose
superintendence is check to oppressive and
extorting operations that were before pur-
sued without remorse and without obstruc-
ton. The great existing want is of pro-
vision to regulate interstate commerce.
Such provision can be made only by Con-
gress, but that body approaches the question
before it with great caution and elaboration.
1t is all important to know exactly what
congressional law should do, and what let
alone. In Eogland, and in most of the
countries on the European continent, it has
been found that the railroads, of their own
action, cannot be trusted TO treat the public
fairly, and a system OF holding the roads
to strict account has been adopted. In this
country we must avoid any harsh or unnec-
essary interference or exercise OF arbitrary
power. The congressional committee, charged
with examining the question in a bill they
have agreed upon, propose therefore the for
nation of a national railway commission,
empowered to hear complaints, take testi-
mony, investigate controversies, and to OBJ
tain generally full information upon ques-
tions arising between the roads and the pub
lie. The result of their labors will be laid
before Congress, and thus a clear indication
afforded of what kind of legislation to enact
and what to avoid. In the end there will
be established control that will paralyze
the power Of the road to do mischief.
