WORK OFTIE LEGISLATTRE.
j. r. HAcoo1p.

NVRA VFIliE LEGlSLATtRE.
Everything seems to be in active
operation at the State Capitol.
The revision of the railroad law.
the formation of new counties, and
the enactment OF divorce law
seem to be the most important
business before the House. 1t
seems that the railroad companies
are not satisfied with the effects of
the Railroad law, and are working
TOR a change to be made in it.
Mr.. Murlay's bill before the House
in substance is this: 1t "takcs
from the Railroad Commissioners
the power to fix the rates t. be
charged for the transportation of
passengers and freight, and re-
stores this right to the companies. -
1t wants the companies Of the diff
! fcrcnt roads to fix their own rates.
and then submit them to the Com
missiOners for their correction and
adoption. If the companies are
not then pleased with the Commis-
sioncrs' work, they want 20 appeal
to the Supreme Court, and look
there for help. 1t appears that
! the companies are anxious to make
"big money! out of the people bv
charging higher rat, than allowed
by the Railroad commission. The
rates fixed by the Commission
should, in our opinion, be tried a
longer time. Why make sudden
change now, except in cases where
there is a necessity for it ? Most
of the roads in the State are indie
pendent, and can secure enough
capital from the present rates to
run them, and make money at it
too. The mass of people should
not be imposed upon in order to
make comparatively small num-
Der rich. AS to the Divorce Law
we deem it out of place for the
Legislature to act upon it unless it
should be narrow in it's limits.
The enactment Of such a law
would have a great tendency "to
license crime,' and dissolutions
of marriages, the most sacred of
ties, would doubtless be far more
numerous.

WHEREAS Almighty God, in his
infinite wisdom and foresight, has
seen fit to remove from our midst
our beloved brother and companion,
John Robert Herring Jr., be it re-.
solved:
First, that while we bow In humble
submission tothe will of our Heavenly
Father with the deepest reverence,
We yet ssdly deplore the death of our
friend and companion-so young and
gentle and promising. Why one SO
sweet.spirited and kind-hearted, so
beloved by US all, whose life gave
such bright promises of future use
fullress should have been marked
out by the Angel of Death, and the
tender ties of the family circle and
of early friendship be so suddenly
broken, seems strange to US all. The
ways of Providence indeed seem past
finding out. We accept the stroke
! ard kiss the hand that sent it.
Second. that we appreciate and feel
grateful for the bright christian char.
acter and example which he has be-
queathed to US, and hopefully trust
that the record of his shining virtues
may guide others in the paths OF
fright and honor.
| Third, that in his death the Phi
laathroplc Society loses one of its
most gifted members, the Universit,
Monthly one of its ablest editors anc
the University one of its most prom
Using students.
Fourth, that a copy of these reso
lutions be rendered to the family o
the deceased, with the tenderest sym
Ipathies Of each and every member o.
this Society.

lions be spread upon the records
