A RAILWAY case of great importance
will be decided, probably, at the present
term of the Supreme Court of the United
States. II is the case of the people OF
the State of Illinois against the Illinois
Central Railway Company, and involves
the right of the Legislature of that State
to appoint board of railway commits
sioners with power to establish rates for
passengers and freight differing from
those fixed by the corporation referred
to. Another similar case relating to the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad
was submitted on briefs short time
ago, and will be decided at the same
time, These are simply test cases, for
one is brought to recover three dollars
and half, and the other for the recov-
cry of two cents. The Supreme Court
of Illinois affirmed the constitutionality
of the law creating the Board of Commits
sioners. The corporations in question
claim a chartered right to fix in their
discretion fares and freights, and that
the same constitution which provided
that the Legislature should pass laws for
the purpose of protecting the people
against extortion also had provision
against the impairment of contracts.
Several years ago somewhat similar cases,
known as the Granger cases, from
Wisconsin, were decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States, the decision
of the Court below boing sustained. But
the majority of the Supreme Court as
now constituted was not then ON the
bench, only four of the present Judges
being then members of the Court of last
resort. The Chief Justice aud Justices
Bradley and Miller sustained the Granger
decisions; Justice Field delivered the
dissenting opinion.

Vagabondla, by Frances Hodgson Bur
nett, is charming little story. The char
ac'ers are Inhabitants Of that mysterious,
delectable land sometimes called Bohemia.
There is brother, an artist by profession,
his wife and baby, and three sisters, all
lovely; but Dolly, the eldest, is one of the
most bewitching of mortals. Generous,
brave and true, she has a delightful habit
of making eyes at the Philistlnes, as she
terms them, thereby throwing her lover,
Griffith Dome, into paroxysns of jeal-
ousy. Of course Dolly loves most in
eligible young man, a news
paper writer, true as steel. but
awfully out at pocket, and he adores
Dolly. Grifith's principal trial was a
maiden aunt of large fortune and severe
virtue, who did not approve of him and
expressed her disapproval by frequent
threats of disinheriting him. The author
describes in very sweet and natural way
the day dreams of this pair of lovers, the
dress he would buy Dolly when they were
rich, of the home they would have, an
earthly paradise. How they battIed with
the fates and lost or won, the writer tells,
Without any startling situations or tragedy

BLAINE,S UTOPIA.

Mr.. Blaine, in answer to an invitation has
written letter to the editor of the Phil
adelphia Press, in opposition to the Penn
syivania plan of distributing the surplus
revenue of the general government among
the states. He offers three objections:
The uncertainty of the volume of reve-
nue.; the divided duty it would impose up
on Congress, by which Senators and Rep
resentatives would possibly curtail appro-
pr1ations for works of National necessity,
SO that the money may go to their respec-
tive states; and, third, that the time is ap-
preaching when it is possible the National
Governments revenue may not reach its
present great proportions. Mr.. Blaine's
remedy is for the tax on spirits to be paid
to the states in proportion to the popula-
ton, or that the government forego It's
excise right, and permit each state to tax
liquor manufactured within its borders.
In table annexed to the letter, Mr..
Blaine shows the share of the large states
on the basis of population to be: $780,
600 for New York, S7,498,000 for Penn
sylvania, $5,2S5,0O0 for Illinois, and 3d.
$4,000 for Ohio, the smaller states re-
ceiying in proportion. The proposition
of Mr.. Blaine is no improvement on the
Pennsylvania plan, which Is Utopian in
extreme degree. It is hardly necessary
to point out objections, as they will readi-
ly occur to each thoughtful mind. II
however, the amount now collected by in
ternal revenue taxes is not needed, why
continue taxing and maintaining large
number of Office holders who can be dis
pensed with. What reason is there in col
Letting taxes in Illinois or Ohio and dis
tributing them in Vermont OF Aassachu-
sets. What MIR. Blaine was driving ut NJ
one but himself knows, if even he does
Is is intinated that the suggestion of Mr.
Blaine is politicians ruse to fortify and
maintain the high monopolist protective
tariff for the benefit of Pennsylvania.

fix the time and place of holding the ma
tional nominating convention, and also to
choose a Chairman of the committee in
place of Marshall Jewell, deceased. VIM.
L. Chandler is actively seeking the posi-
ton. The power and patronage Of the
administration are being freely used to
put Chandler into the place. Gorham and
Hatton are oonspiculously busy in the
matter. If Chandler is chosen it will be
considered an official party endorsement
of Arthur's scheme to continue himself in

and furnish them complete and unabridged, the

be found in the ''The Song Bouquet''-but every
song is gem, many of them already very popu-

The result of the vote having been an
| nounced, Governor Curtin moved that
Carlisle's nomination be made unanimous,
which was Immediately done. The chair
appointed Randall, Cox and Curtin, com.
mitte9 to notify him of the caucus action.
CarIisle's entrance with the committee was
crested with long continued cheers. Being
escorted to the speakers chair, he spoke as
follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Caucus: Your committee has just formal
ly notified me of my unanimous nomina
tion to the Office of speaker of the house of
representatives of the forty eighth con-
gress, and am here to thank you very
briefly and very earnestly for the conf
dence reposed in me. If this had been a.
mere contest between me and either of
those distinguished gentlemen whose
names were mentioned in connection with
this nomination, I should have
| had little hope of SUCCESS.
| They are all gentlemen of great
| ability, long experience and undoubted
| integrity, and l assure them and their
friends that this contest closes as far as
am concerned without the slightest
change of the friendly personal relations
which heretofore has existed between u.s.
Gentlemen, trust you may never have
reason to regret your action this evening,
and when the labors of the 48th congress
close you will be able to congratulate
yourselves that no material interest of
your party or country has been injuri-
| ously affected by my administre-
ton of the Office for which you
have nominated me. In fact
l may go step further and venture to ex-
press the confident hope that every sub
stantial interest will be advanced and pro-
NOTED by the united efforts of the presid
ing officer and the Demo cratic majority on
the floor. Such result will insure viJtory
in the great contests yet to come, and
guarantee a long line of Democratic exec
| utives, with honest, economical and con-
stitutional administration of our public
affairs. But you have yet much other
labor to perform, and again thanking you
| for what you have already done, l shall say
| 40 more.
Randall then addressed the CAUCUS. He
said:

entatives IF the Forty -sigh.h congrcs SIS
