DECIDED TO BE VALID.

The two decisions on the Illinois railroad
law, rendered by the United States Supreme
Court last week, would appear to dissipate
all remaining doubt Of the authority of a
state TO regulate railroad charges. A num-
Der OF cases involving different aspects OF
western railroad laws have been carried
up 10 the Supreme Court in the last five
years. and the decisions on them are all in
one Objectionable validity OF the legislation.
The Illinois law provides that the maximum
rate OF passengers fares on the railroads
shall be 3 cents mile. Under this prcvis-
ion two cases arose--one on the Chicago,
Burlington 4 Quincy road, and the other
each case, disputing the constitutionality OF
the law on the ground that il impaired the
obligation Of contracts by regulating rates
which, under its charter, the road itself was
empowered 10 regulate. The Court took
the opposite view. While admitting that
the charter gave the companies power "to
establish such rates Of tolls as they shall
from time TO time by their bylaws deter
mipe," ii holds that this grant is TO be very
strictly construed, and that grants of i'm
munity from legislative control are never to
be presumed; If they are not plainly ex.
pressed they do not exist; presumption is
against them-that is, in favor Of the author
lily of the state TO regulate as the pubic in
terests may require. The decision, appli.
cable in both cases, seems TO exhaust the
question and leaves no room for further
dispute.

HARMONY IN GOOD FAITH.
The Way to Reclaim Kansas to True Re.
pubIicanism.

All sincere Republicans wish the party 10
b, successful in the election next year. All
of us are ready to admit that il will require
harmony, and large quantity Of it, TO Sc
cure success. III this spirit OF prescription
Is to be the rule insi1 e OF the party, by Ell
ther prohibitionists or anti-prohibitionists,
then the party goes to pot by the canon ball
train. There seems TO be disposition to
indulge in the folly Of prescription on the
part of few from both sides of the prohi-
bition question. The real fact is that no
man can be read out Of the party, or pro-
scribed from receiving its honors simply be-
cause be happens TO favor or oppose probi-
bition with the courage OF his convictions.
The right Of the majority to govern is the
first cardinal tenet Of Republicans, and it
has always been considered as applicable TO
party as to governmental action, at any rate
AZ far as the choice OF servants goes. Now
to say that man shall not be nominated
for governor because he believes In prohi-
bitioD, or In any other matter OF local poll
cy, is TO say that RepubIicanism is swallow
ed up in a side issue. True republicanism
is too broad to rest its action upon any pal
try principle of intolerance.
We are led 10 these reflections by an arti-
Gle from the pen OF that old war horse, Sol.
Miller, declaring that Judge Thacher must
not be the Republican nominee for govern
or because he happens 10 be prohibition
list, and because he fayors doing away with
juries in petty mlsdcmeanor trials before
justices. We enter our protest against such
narrow republicanism. and demand broad
er party spirit by which TO unite all Repub-
licans in old-time harmony for the grand
battle Of 1884.
There can be no party harmony, no party
enthusiasm, no party success, while the
spirit Of prescription and intolerance pre-
walls. We should demand for our nominees
that they be Republicans, that they have
high character as citizen, that they have
large capacity for public affairs, that they
have integrity as men, that their public and
private records be clean; but we have no
right 10 demand-we must not demand
that they stand upon this or that side Of the
prohibition issue.
This is the spirit Of manly party harmony,
and actuated by it we can reclaim Kansas
10 true republicanism. BY any other, We
inglOriously fail

THE FLOOD.
HAYsvILLR, May 81, 1888.

HAYsvILLE, May 81, 1888.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Saturday evening, May 18th, about five
O'Clock, there came cloud from the south
east not much larger than mans hand.
No one thought there was going to be much
rain, but il came down In torrents for two
hours, and continued to rain, more or less,
all night. Most everybody went to bed,
not thinking OF any thing like food, or
high waters in the creek. Many were AVA
kened in the night by hogs and cattle try
ing to get out Of pens and enclosures, and
in getting out of bed Unexpectedly stepped
into water a foot deep in their bedrooms.
Others went out into the darkness into wa
ter two or three feet deep, to look after
stock. Still others were awakened by the
rushing and roaring of the water, and by
boxes and barrels, or loose property, float
ing against or under their houses. At mid
night could be heard, in all directions, hogs
squealing, cattle lowing. and men tearing
down pens and driving out stock, and all
this without any warning. A great many
chicks were lost, and some stock OF all
kinds. Murphy Bros. were the heaviest
sufferers, their loss being about 400 sheep
with the fleece on. Corn fielGs were wash.
ed into cutters, many fields having all the
soil washed away, destroying the crop and
running the field. Some farmers lost all the
old corn they had on hand, some losing
hundreds of bushels. A school house south
west of here was washed down the stream
nearly half mile. All the bridges on the
Cowskin, except those Mt this point, were
washed away or rendered impossible.
But the heaviest loss is with the mills.
Mr.. Hays told me that all the dam at the
Marshal mill is out and will cost several
hundred dollars to replace it. Hays Il Sny.
der's dam here Is all gone. At Bedford,
where Mr.. Hays is building . new mill, the
fiume with water-wheel and 10000 pounds
of machinery, all new, are gone, and will
be total loss, and the material for large
dam is also gone. Mr.. Hays loss will be
several thousand dollars.
At Waco the water was up into Mr.. krei-
bells mill, and ran through his store. His
mtll-dam is out also.
Hays 4 Snyder will have their mill run
ming in two days, when they will grind for
toll or cash and guarantee satisfaction.
The wheat here 10 excellent and promises
q good crop. North OF here, near Dan
Wimple's, hail destroyed all their wheat.
Taken all together, no one cares to see
any thing like those high waters again.
Dan Barnett was drowned at Hays new
mill. Thine,

lives on the open field Of strife, or within
the gloomy hospital, or darker prison, OF

TweNTY.FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.

To The Editor Of the Eagle:
At the residence of VIM. Caughey, VAL
ley Center, on May first, there was a sur
prise given to celebrate the 25th anniyersa-
ny Of Annals birth. We may safely call it
a surprise, for it was unknown to her until
late in the day. when she made inquiries as
to what so much preparation was for.
Although the day was very disagreeable
the house was filed with old, middle.aged
and young persons, and the yard and sta
BILE with vehicles and horses. Music, both
vocal aud instrumental, enlivened the occa-
sion. The instrumental part being furnish
ed by Rev. W. C. somers and Mr.. James
Trace on the violin, and Mrs. Romine and
Mrs. NJ. F. Geyer on the organ and horn.
Many useful as well as ornamental pres.
ents were presented by the guests. The
following is list with the names OF the
donors:
VIM. Caughey half dozen silver spoons.
Mary Caughey, large glass water pitcher
and counterpane. Mrs. ID. II. Boyd, pair
large linen towels. Rev. and Mrs. J. NJ.
Romine. cut-glass dish. Miss Jennie john
son, half dozen napkins. Mr.. NJ. F. Geyer,
Sage, Ohio, handsome fruit-dish. Mr.. FEE.
Cole. full set Enterprise polishing irons and
stand. Miss Agnes Davis, bottle cologne
Emma Caughey, music binder and pair lin
en- towels. Minnie Caughey, one dozen in
dividual cellars. Mr.. and Mrs. II. c. Boyle,

Although somewhat embarrassed the re-
cipient Of these gifts thanked the people
for their beautiful and valuable gifts. Sup
per being announced, all partook OF the
sumptuous repast, embracing all that was
delicate, luscious and Substantial which had
been prepared by the host and hostess.
After supper Rev. Romine made some very |
appropriate -emaks. The days enjoyment |
was closed by all joining in singing march
ing Through Georgia. Wishing Anna
many more such days the assembly depart
ed for their homes.
But, alas! all is not over yet, for in the |
evening the young folks Of the community |
gathered In until the house was again filed |
which they possession Of and enjoyed them
selves in the way Of plays and music until
a late hour, when they dispersed for their
homes, and judging from their smiling faces
all felt that 1t was good for them to be there.

MUST GO.

The established church of England must
go. II ought TO go. The principle Of fore
ing an enlightened people, in the afternoon
Of the nineteenth century, 10 contribute to
the support of a pampered and worthless
ministry is surprising. John Bright adds
another 10 the many vexing questions OF
English politics by declaring that the Es-
tablished Church must go. His attack up
on the history of the English episcopacy is
telling one. lie shows that the bishops
and the church generally have ranged them
selves against the great reforms Of civiliza-
lions until they became popular. He makes
an especially arraignment of the late arch
bishop of Canterbury for bringing the pow
er of the church TO the aid of the Egyptian
war

A GENEROUS SCHEME.

Sol. Miller, in his chit, advocates The
pensloning of all soldiers, grading the pen
sions according to disability and length Of
service. 1t hasn't been two years since the
EAGLE prophesied that this pension bust.
ness would yet prove one of the most seri.
Gus problems ever encountered by our gov.
millions and billions Of money necessary,
would come from to meet the demands OF
Miller's scheme. but We favor the policy il
within the reach Of our resources as Ma.
ton. There is but little doubt in our mind
that fully one fourth OF all the pensions
now drawn are fraudulent, SO far as the
spirit OF the law is concerned, although
paid TO soldiers who served faithfully.
