THE Troy & Boston railway was sued
last week for nonconformity with the pro-
visions of the revenue law. To none of
Mr.. Dillingham's courteous communica-
tions has this company paid any attention.
We understand that it is trait in the
management of this road never to pay
anything till it is sued. This is its repu-
tation. 1t does not do business in bust
ness ways. 1t will now have touch of
the business end of Vermont laws. The
road only runs across the southwestern
corner of the state, distance of about
five miles, and with this Insignificant in
terest it seems to prefer to defy law to
which all other corporations have grace
fully yielded.

Seminary Hill.-President Beeman left for
New York last Saturday. He has gone on mis-
sionary and church extension work, and will of
course advocate the advantages of our school
and school life.
The students were allowed to attend the
teachers association, provided they did not
miss their Rotations. Thursday evening they
attended in full force, and there being no
lyceum Friday evening, we had our choice to
go to the meeting of the association or remain
on the hill and spend the evening in the par
lors as best we could.
Mr.. HADLEy's piano recital attracted large
audience last Friday evening, Seminary chapel
being filed These recitals are becoming very
popular as shown by the increased attendance.
The following took part in this one: Misses
Bartlett, Beers, Upper, Kinsley, Gould, jew
EFT, Mayo, Weber, Hull, Halstead; Messrs.
Watson and Luce. Miss Emma M. Cutler also
appeared in three songs and an encore. The
next recital takes place in two weeks, of which
further notice will be given.

SOME of the papers are stating that the
Central Vermont railway company has de-
cided to pay the railway tax on that por-
ton of its road that is covered by the old
Vermont Central charter. This, we be-
lieve, is somewhat premature. The tax
commissioner has had no official notice of
such intention. 1t is, however, generally
understood that the company has no other
intention, as soon as it shall have become
the legal owner of the property. 1t has
been waiting, we are informed, merely
for the completion of the legal formalities
which will give it ownership. 1t is con-
coded that the exemption privilege which
the old charter conferred will lapse when
the road formally passes into the CONSOLE
dalton. The negotiations and proceedings
in court during the past few months have
virtually perfected the consolidation. I'm
til the completion Of these arrangements
the company has not been the legal
owner of the road. As trustees under the
control of the supreme court they have
been in possession, but the question of
proprietorship has been in litigation.
Governor Smith, the attorneys and mana
gers of the road and the state authorities
have heen in substantial accord on this
subject, as we understand the situation
of affairs. Governor Smith has been pa
triotic in this matter and without bellig-
erency or complaining, has indicated not
only readiness to submit to the laws of
the state, but has urged the duty of the
state to exact from the corporations within
its borders their fair share of the burdens
of taxation. The exemption privilege
granted to the old Central has been a
good deal of a stumbling block to the ex-
action of taxes from the railways and
other corporations and its removal will
not be one of the least of the advantages
gained by the consolidation.

Restrict the Cause.

Had time and space permitted us to
express some things that were in our
thoughts in recent article on "Divorce or
Separation" we should have said that, in
spirit of right and justice, a law rigidly
restricting the granting of divorces and
limiting the right to marry again might
leave to the courts some margin for equit-
able discrimination in favor OF innocent
parties to broken marriage contracts; that
discrimination might also be extended to
cases in which an unoffending husband
or wife is the victim of such fraud or de-
ception as that caution and vigilance
which should be exercised in concluding
marriage engagements could not reasona-
bly, be expected to discover or penetrate;
that there might be cases in which for
some grave crime not involving the sane
tity of the marriage tie, divorce might be
decreed and the innocent party might even
be given freedom to marry again; that
the best interests of state and society
might be advanced by some such conces-
sions to the infexible rigidity of the
Scriptural cause for divorce but we would
wish to have such cases sharply defined
in the statutes and the discretion of the
court in considering them wisely hedged
in. To this extent we should probably
agree with the Rutland Herald in some
of the remarks it makes upon this subject
in recent article entitled "What is
Cause 20
Our contemporary uses for its text
quotation from The WATcHMAN's ar
ticle, which, taken out of its connec-
tions. is made to stand for rather more
than should fairly be credited to it. If
marriage were barter, some of the reasons
given by the advocates of easy divorce
might possibly have weight. The United
States enforces against the states obliga-
tions concerning business contracts far
more salutary and exacting than some of
the states impose upon marriage contracts.
Conjugal relations necessarily contain
some of the elements of business arrange
ment, but the institution of marriage and
its relation to the state transcend the
operations of bargain and sale by as much
as the heavens are higher than the earth
and the reasons for which it is Embossed
should in like manner surpass all the rules
for annulling ordinary business engage
ments. Good divorce laws and good NOR
ais are not necessarily cause and effect
Good morals spring from sources deeper
than statutes. Good divorce laws like
any other wholesome regulations may
help, just as lax divorce laws may harm
the cause of morality. Even if France
were as licentious as the Herald paints
her, it is difficult to see how that would
prove anything against salutary divorce
laws. 1t could hardly show more thar
that France needs missionaries, as wei
as proper laws. If South Carolina hal
ono divorce under the law" and makes
as bad showing in the tables of divorc,
statistics as Vermont with her five lega
causes, it can prove little more than tina

state.

court and by a majority Of one the first
decision was reversed. Among the best
lawyers of the country, as a matter Of
strict Interpretation of the constitution,
we believe the opinion has been adverse
to the constitutionality of the original
acts. The direful necessity which led to
them blinked nice questions of constitu-
tional law, and the great convenience and
popularity of the greenback, the child Of
the acts, in the succeeding times of peace
has held in allegiance all legal questions
regarding its legitimacy. In financial
and commercial circles there has been q
growing demand that the legal status of
this legacy of the war be established. If
its illegitimacy is decreed the few sad rel
les of the greenback party must gather
themselves to their fathers, and it is
barely possible that the gathering ="
may be greeted with not entirely rever-
emit, amen. Prudent fnanciers profess to
see in the continued existence of the le-
gal tender act standing menace to the
business interests of the country. A de-
cision that the act is unconstitutional
would doubtless be satisfactory at the
money centers. If, however, the court de.
crees that what was distinctively war
measure and on that powerful plea was
cloaked with constitutional right, can be
perpetuated long after the conditions
| which called it into existence have ceased
to be, the theory of fiat money will have
received the sanction of the highest court
in the land. The financial health of the
country has been maintained by the good
sense of the people, and it is not prob.
able that the condition of things, includ-
ing the prospective supremacy of green.
backism, will materially change its aspect,
if the constitutionality of the legal ten
ders should again be affirmed.

OREGON SHORT LINE.

Concerning the construction of the
Oregon Short Line, Dillon said he had
received dispatches from the gen
eral manager, stating, that l1,7OO
feet of track was laid on Tuesday, to a
point within two and one-half miles of
Shoshonc. The distance from Granger,
on the line Of the Union Pacific, to
Shoshone, is 1872 miles. In addition, Il
branch fiity-seven miles long, from Sho-
shone to Haily, on Wood river, is in
operation. The branch road is doing
frst-class business already The Wood
river country is opening up wonderfully,
Il think it is the finest undeveloped min
ing country there is left. The Short
Line will be completed through to con
nection with the Oregon railway at Snake

DEATH OF 8. s. STILES.

The sudden death of Mr.. Stiles at Mt.
Idaho last week was surprise to all He
left here the morning before his death
upon the stage, in apparently better health
than he had enjoyed for several weeks
before He had been suffering some
from rheumatism attended with much
pain, and had occasionally rcsorted to the
use Of laudanun in small doses to allcvi-
ate pain. En- route on the stage he be-
gan to suffer some. On arriving he felt
quite i'll, and sen, for some laudanum and
wanted friends ~ look after him during
the night. He grew worse and died at =
o clock the next morning So far as known
he did not take more than his usual guam
tity Of the opiate for pain, and hence some
think that from long use of this opia,e
his system had accumulated so much of
this poison that it eliminated in his death
very suddenly, Mr.. Stiles has long been
known in this vicinity. In former years
he was the auditor and recorder of this
county, and clerk of the District Court
of this district and filled these faithfully
and skilfully. lie then left and went to
California and renamed there while
Then returned to Oregon and there was
engaged in the drug and medicine bust
ness, and had the credit of being good
druggist. He returned to Lewiston and
has acted, for long time, as assistant in
our post office He was an intelligent
and well informed man, and quick and
keen in his perceptions and positive and
open in his declaration of his views on
all questions. While among us, he always
was interested in the welfare of this sec
ton Of country and to the extent of his
means was ready to do for the public
good as much as the best of us, and his
sudden demise is much to be lamented
by all who knew him best He had faults,
but those did not extend to the injury
Of his friends or the public generally as
much as to his own self, and hence we
can we'll say that the light of good cit
izcn has suddenly gone out in middle age
of usefulness, and peace to his ashes.
