The ODD 0raneer Case Settled

The Old Granger Case Settled
WAsHlEGfoN, May IA decision
was rendered by the Supreme Court
in the SO. called granger case Of Neal
Ruggles IS. the people. 1t the State
of Illinois in which the question is
raised whether charter be granted
to the Central military tract railroad
company, now the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy railroad, by legislature
ofIllinois, in 1852 or any subsequent
amendment therefore contains snch
a contract between the state and the
company as Authorizes the company
to establish it's own rates of fare and
freight beyond interference by the
state. The court answers this
question in the negative, and holds
that the directors Of the railroad
company cannot adopt any bylaw fix
ing sales of fare and freight which
are in conflict with the law of the
state relating to the same subject.
The judgment of the supreme court
of Illinois is affirmed.
Remenyis Violins.
Among the thirty-one valuable violins owned
by Remenyi, there sre two which deserve special
| mention. Remenyi's Princess violin, made
! by Antonius stradiyarius in Cremona A. D. 17O5s
has world wide celebrity for its beauty of tone
ane exquisite golden varnish, but the fine "Prnc-
ess'' is now superseded by another, a still more
| wonderful instrument. The violin which Rem
enyi uses now is absolutely matchless. It is not
| 10 old as the "Princess," but it certainly has
much finer tone. The following history of this
| splendid instrument may be interesting: Antol I.
ius stradivarius the world greatest violin maker
had many pulls round him, but. though they
made excellent violins they never reached their
master. Among his pupils was one Francois Lu-
pont, who came to France and settled in New
Orleans. He was the favorite pupil Of Stradi-
varius and after the death of his master, he fol-
lowed in his footsteps, but never attained his
| perfection. Francois dupont had son, NicOlai,
who, after the removal Of the family to Paris,
became known as the great violin maker of his
age The violin used by Remenyi is the master
piece of Nilolai Lnpont, he having declared it
such. 1t was completed in 1918, four years before
! Luponts DEATH having been made for NJ. Simon,
a violinist OF Paris, with the express condition
that before it was used, it was to be exhibited at
| the Conservative for an entire year. After that
time it became the property Of NJ. Simon, after
whose death it was eagerly bought for Goding's
celebrated collection in London. 1t was after
wards purchased by Mr.. r. D. Hawley of Hart
ford, Conn.,, who has now the finest collection OF
violins in the world. After casting longing eyes
upon the treasure for some time, Remenyi OBJ
tanned it from Mr.. Hawley, and he states without
fear Of contradiction, that his violin is absolutely
perfect for tone, beauty and workmanship. stra-
divarius himself never surpassed this instrument.

Is the Congregational Church Mortgaged7
To the Editor OF the n P Farmer.

Az there is an uncertainty i'll the minds Of some
in regard to the obovs question, please allow me
through your columns to state the facts of the
case, and let your readers judge for themselves.
The American Congregational Union gave US 1925,
and two friends in Minneapolis SIS, making a
total of $500. For this we gave the A. c. U. a
trust mortgage the conditions ofwhch are such
that it is of no force effect except in case the
church shall cease to De an Evangelical Congre-
gational church. or shall cease to maintain public
worship, or shall for the space of one year sus-
pend public worship, or shall fail to keep their
house Of worship insured against loss by fire. or
shall fail TO make an annual contribution to the
American Congregational Union, or in case their
corporate existence cease, or in case their house
-okwoMhdp shall be aienated without repaying
IL parfies Of the second part. Now we built the
h0slee good faith, and in it we expect to main
tim p0h1tcworship and continue to be an Evan
ldcal Cngregational Church. We have an
7 elicy which runs FIVE years from last
eia up" and expect to be able to
e itsN1 itruns out. We expect to fulfil all
~ Qnifements of the A. C. u, so that we shall
have nothing opay except to take up collection
once q year. The building and furnace cost a
little over $1,000, and is all paid tor withop
rowing any money The ladies society bought
the lots furniture, carpets, organ etc. at cost OF
about $500, which is all paid except a balance OF
about $40 on the organ. If any of your readers
can. see the "big debt" that we are trying to
keep so still about give them the consolation OF
looking at it. H.W. FULLER.

Industrial Schools.
sary burde

New England has been furnishing
the most of the practical and techni-
cal knowledge for the United States
for the past half century. Even where
not directly, it has indirectly; for its
systems of schools have been adopted
in all the leading States throughout
the Union. The advantage which
such schools offer our ordinary theo-
retical learning cannot well be meas
ured. Utility is the aim. Making a
living, and a very competent and
easy living, is the principal object
theoretically, and in general way,
majority Of our citizens are as well
educated as any. But exactly where
we leave of, there the Yankee begins.
Many OF our young men take seien-
tiic course or a partial course and
stop. The Yankee takes scientific
course and begins to make a living
out OF it. The tendency of our edu-
cation is to make well informed citi-
zens and entertaining society men
and women, and the men drift natur-
ally toward the professions; but the
tendency of the Yankee is to make
men and women successful in the
thousand private callings that are
open to American citizens.
When men are generally educated
their drifts toward such occupations
as will call out or in which they
can IN some way apply their general
knowledge. Hence the drift of our
Southern educated youth is into the
professions. But If they were spe-
cially educated their tendency would
be toward the development of our
various industries. We would have
more factory superintendent, more
machinists. more manufacturers. In
short, more industries that tend to
build US up and fewer which must
live by the prosperity of other indus
tries, which must live out OF other
industries. We have too many con-
sumers and too few producers.

IT'S naught but nonsense, your idea

She promised, with quizzing smilss
He joyful went away,
And near those skllful servitors
She never went that day.
And they pulled and hauled and tore
The carpets from the floor,
And rent the rugs In slips,
And splinters knocked and chips
From tables, lounges, chairs;
And cracked the dainty wares
Upon the etagereS.
The statuettes they hashed,
The picture-frames they smashed,
They streaked the tinted walls,
Bloekaded all the halls,
Broke windows, battered doors,
Those skillful servitors.
And when he merrily skipped In
From town, as day grew dim,
Oh, what scene of home gone mad
He found awaiting himi
And while he stood and wildly stared,
She softly. sweetly said:
I've minded you; all day I've staid
Up in my room and read.
And now how do you think, my love,
They've done without my aidY'

An evicted spider played,
And stumbling DER some bristling tackE
He fell upon all tours,
think that, after all, it's best
10 boss these servitors."

Refrenchment and Reform.

One of the first questions that
arises is, how does the result of the
election affect the proposed policy of
the Democratic party this winter p
The answer is plain. If the Demo
cratic party does not seem SO strong
at the North as we had hoped, it is
because the voters have not that con-
fdence in it's intentions which they
should have. To meet this SUPPOSE
ton, it is only necessary to show the
people that the party deserves their
fullest confidence. To that end,
therefore, it becomes still more i'm
perative that Congress should inaug-
urate measures for curtailing the I'M
necessary surplus, and relieving the
people of the burden of taxation
that Expresses the industries of the
country. The surplus, if no action be
taken will amount to nearly $3.50, 000,-
900, and the following year il viii be
still greater. Any reduction that can
be made viii hardly take effect be-
fore June 80, 1884. The appropria-
tons for the year ending June 80,
1882, leaving out pensions, the river
and harbor bill and postofiee were
500, OOO,OOO
The total amount of government
expensea for the year beginning June
80, 1884, and ending June 30, 1885,
viii be about $1s6, 100000. The re-
ceipts will be over $400, 900, 900.
The course most likely to commend
the Democratic party to the conf
dence of the voters is for the next
House to grapple with this question
and cut down this surplus. If that
be done thoroughly, effectively aud
with bold hand, the country will
breathe easier, trade will be more
active, the people will be relieved of
the burden that is bearing them down,
and they will have renewed assur-
ance of the patriotism and wisdom
of the Democratic leaders. Not
only then is it right and proper to
take such action-not only is it in
accord with the principles of our par
ty, but it is expedient. 1t should not
only be done--but it should be quick
ly done. When this great work has
been accomplished, the progress of
the party to the attainment of power
will be easy-for poprlar confidence
will be established as to the sincerity
of our leaders and as to their desire
to relieve the country of its unneces-
sary burdens.
