THE New York Shipping List
thinks that the time when state
laws should be applied to the
general business of the country
has passed. The railroad, the
telegraph and the modern methods
of trade have long since outgrown
the boundaries of states. Conse-
quently, when each state under
takes to legislate regarding COM
mercial matters which affects the
whole country, trade is not only
hampered, but great injustice is
certain 10 be done to the residents
of different parts of the country.
Already the revolution ia business
caused by the agencies to which
we have referred, has made it
necessary that the federal court be
opened to suitors who would other
wise be without a full remedy in
law. AT an early period in the
history of the country state bank
laws answered the demands O!
trade, which was largely restricted
to state limits, but now the rapid
transit has brought San Francisco
nearer to New York, wheu
measured by time, than was Buffa.
10 fifty years ago, a national bank
ing system is demanded by a com,
merce which has become national
For the same reason the important
matter of bankruptcy should be
subject to national legislation anC
the federal courts.

THE republication of the cipher
dispatches, which exposed the
scheme to buy up South Carolina
for Tilden for $4,000 in 1876,
leads The Charleston Nens and
Courier to make the statement
that Mr.. Tilden agreed to con-
tribute $1,000 to the expense of
the canvas in that state, ''that
$4,000 were spent on the faith of
Mr.. Tilden's promise, and TO this
day Mr.. Tilden has not repaid a
solitary cent of that which was ex-
pended in his name"

piclon that he may attend scares
the public away, for they see WIS.,

Northern Pacific Matters.

A n. Y. DISPATCH OF the oath
says: In response to a dispatch
of inquiry from Anthony J.
Thomas, vice-president OF the
Northern Pacific road, to Fred
erick Billings at Woodstock, Yer
mont, Billings replied to-day:
/ have just received your tele-
gram of yesterday giving the SUBJ
stance of an article in a New York
paper, which is utterly without
foundation. / had no communica-
ton, either verbal or written, with
Mr.. Gould about Northern Pacific
stocks. have not said they were
selling too high, and / have not
sold a share of nv large holdings.
4 person said to me that Gould
was willing to go into a pool to
buy Northern Pscifcs. | replied
that it was not in my line to go
into Wall street pools, and [ did
not trust them. / was very busy
at the time, and turned off the
person quite abruptly. Ny faith
in Northern Pacific is stronger
than ever. The floating debt
when added to the bonded debt
will not make the total debt more
than s3l, 200 or $4,000 per mile,
and that for a road .laid with steel
rails, magnifcently equipped and
having great land grants will be a
small burden.

Wolves and Rroodmares.


lluucpenuence, MO-, sentinel.
Mr., John II. Shawhan, one of the
fine stock raisers of Van Buren, town
ship, gives the following statement
which may benefit others interested
He had ten mares all with foal and at
one time; during the winter the wolves
killed one of his sheep in the pasture
where his mares ran. a short time
afterwards one of the animals lost her
colt At this Mr.. S. took his mares
from the field, having heard or read
that the sight or smell of blood would
cause mares to fail in this manner
Soon after this another mare lost in
the same way, and so on till eight of
ten lost their colts. Now comes an
other reason why the last ones were
unfortunate, us horse doctor says in
his book that il is through the instinct
of sympathy for the first colt-mother
that the later ones met with the same
fate
