In 1868 the State Legislature passed

panies to the extent OF s10.000009.s II was
submitted to the people and declared rati-
fed as required by the Constitution then eX-
isting. Bonds to various roads were issued
for nearly six million. subsequently the
state Supreme Court decided the act as not
legally passed and therefore nullity. By
provisions OF the act under which the bonds
were issued the State was TO have lien
on the roads Of the companies to which
bonds were issued. The companies were
to provide means to pay the principal aud
interest Of the bonds as the same ma
tured, and the bonds were used to COM
pete aud equip the roads and placed at
from ffty-iive to eighty Eve cents. Sew

Fort Smith Bailroad, filed a bill ia the Unit
ed States Circuit Court at Little Rock to
compel that company TO pay the
State bonds and to forecose the State lien
on the railroad for that purpose. The rail
road company filed demurrer. The Cir
cult Court, in an opinion written by Judge
Caldwell OF the United States District Court
and concurred IN by Judge McCrary OF the
United States Circuit Court, recently over
ruled the demurrer, holding that the lien

of State bonds loaned to the original company
was paramount to a lien created by the sub
sequent mortgage under which defendant

were entitled to be subrogated to the lien OF

court further held that the decision OF the

were not binding obligations OF the State, in
no wise affected the right Of bond-holder,
against the company or the validity of the
statutory lien to secure their payment

THE BIOGRAPHICAL CENTER,

The Colfax Vidette says: "Colfax
will be the junction Of two great local
railroads
Colfax from her geographical situation is
natural distributing point for this whole
region"
1t is not yet settled fact that Colfax
is to be the junction, and as for Colfax
being geographically distributing point,
it is thinner than moonshine. The natu-
raj barriers surrounding the place will
forever prevent it from being distribut-
ing point for any part Of the Palouse
country. The agricultural part Of the
Palouse country lies in Neg Perez county
and a strip Of about seventy miles along
the eastern part of Whitman and Spokane
counties. Congress may appropriate"
until the treasury is exhausted, and then
people will haul lumber from Palouse
City to Colfax on lumber wagon, Will
the railroad run logs down tho Palouse
river to Colfax to be manufactured, and
then transport the lumber back up tho
river to Garfield and Pennington on one
side and to Pullman and Moscow on the
other? Is that what you call "geograph-
ical distributing center?' A boom long
enough to reach from Palouse City TO
Colfax will make that part of the stream
quite practicable for running logs; but,
"Lend me your earl" 80 far as lumber is
concerned the distributing point will for.
ever be at or within five miles of the
present town site of Palouse City. A
junction at Colfax and branches extend
ing north and south to points on the dry
prairie will give our town solid founda-
ton upon which to build. Palouse City
needs no special legislation to insure its
future permanency. Nature has formed
the pathway on tho one hand, and fixed
the barriers upon the other, so that there
is no uncertainty regarding the future
of Palouse City.-Boomerdng.

CHICAGO, Aug. THE Tribune says
the conflict between the Union Pacific
and the Denver and Rio Grande, regard
ing California passenger business, Is be-
coming more serious every day, and it is
generally believed that an open war of
rates between the two roads will break
out before many days have passed. A
few weeks ago the Denver and Rio Grande
gave notice that passengers for California
over its line would have the privilege of
visiting Denver and Leadyillc free of
charge. This, it is learned, was done in
retaliation for the Union Pacific running
fast trains between Omaha and Ogden
and allowing passengers to visit Salt Lake
City free of extra charge. Now the Union
Pacific has come back by announcing
that passengers for California over its
line will also be accorded the privilege of
going to Denver and Leadville and return
free of charge. This action will, of course,
give the Union Pacific again the adyan-
tage, and there is now no other way open
for the Denver and Rio Grande to Get
even except to make large reduction of
rates, which, Of course, will compel the
other lines to do likewise.

LETTER FROM LEWISTON,

Lewiston l. T. Aug. I 1888.
ED. TELLER:-We would like to ask
what has become of the good resolutions
formed by the merchants of this city
about fhe time of the last elections, when
they thought it would be to their interest
to sign the petition that was then circu-
lated, asking them to relieve their EN-
ployees of service on Sunday? At the
rate they are now keeping their agree
mcnt, how long will it be until all the
stores in town are kept open for business
as they always have been? If cne man
keeps his store open on Sunday the
others will do it also. On Sunday, the
9Th inst, the day of the funeral of one
Lewistons most energetic business men;
one who has done 80 much for the i'm
provement and development of the place;
and for the loss of whom all expressed SO
much sorrow, they could not desist, but
were doing business behind the door.
Why cannot the people of Lewiston and
vicinity transact their business. during
the week, as people do in other places and
not wait until Sunday to do their trad
ing? After working all the week from
morning till nine Or ten o'clock at night,
is it right or just to ask clerk to come
out on Sunday morning to resume work,
thereby leaving him no time for rest or
recreation? Sunday is his day, not his
employers, unless he is especially engaged
to work on that day. Now that they
have at last taken step in the right di-
rection, why do they not live up to the
agreement That will not be the last
election, nor the last issue at stake. If
they do not keep their agreement in this
instance who knows that they will in any
other? They may not be successful an
other time if they are too careless of their
pledges. Both the people and the press
have great deal to say Oh the subject of
monopoly. Would it not be well to look
near home and see if the railroads and
other companies we might mention, are
the only monopolizers that effect this
community, and try to get all they can
in the way Of dollars and cents, whether
it rightfully belongs to them or not?
Yours for justice, Ell.
