The RaiIroad Commission

The Home Journal opposed this ri.|
diculous infringement Of law and com.
mon sense at its incipiency, but was
powerless to prevent the election of
three men, at a salary Of 81, 009 each, to
fiji Offices which, it seems, were created
to crafty ignorant clamor. Very soon
we will be expected to vote on this cues.

that it would be well to not vote At all

show their disapproval Of it, and show
that they know more of constitutional

unconstitutional by the courts, and we
do not see how, in justice, the three
Commissioners can continue to do
nothing, as they have done, and yet dc.
mand pay They cannot act, aud Why
should they be paid And if they
could act, what Gun they do? So long ms
the railroads do not violate their char.
tiers they ought not to be interfered
with. And if they should be guilty OF
such violation, then it becomes matter
for the courts to decide. As it is, the
roads are carrying passengers and
freight at much less than they are emit
tied to charge under their vested rights
and We think that nothing but dema.
gDgy is at the bottom of this warfare up
on them.
We wish we had more railroads.

What We Pay Lawyers and
Judges.

In an unsuccessful race for the Leg
stature some years ago we argued that
the Statutes Of Tennessee should be
taught in our public schools. The basis
Of our argument was that in being taxed
for the education Of other children than
our own the taxpayers should have II
voice as to the distribution and outlay
Of The fund thus raised. And we ar
X pue,l that a common school education,
addel to a knowledge of the law, was
enough for any young man, and if he
could not, OR did not, improve, then i'll
deed did lie not deserve what he had al
ready received. Now, read the follow
ing which we copy from the New YORK
Ledger:
\ Our government paid Mr.. Bliss.
New York lawye, retained in the Sta
Route trials, fee Of fifty.nine thousan'
dollars, which is about the rate OF ON
hundred dollars a day. This, it ar
pears, was the price agreed upon whe'
Mr.. Bliss was retained, and he claim
that It was under his average gains. u"
would consider it, he said, "a might

Remarkable Change of Feeling in Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS, MAY l2-Within the past
ten davs a systematic canvass has been
made Of the Indiana Republican delegation
to the Chicago Convention. While num-
Der of the delegates here have not cared to
express themselves specifically sufficient
has been ascertained to show that the prefer
ences now stand: Arthur 6; Blaine and
John Sherman, each s; Edmunds, ), and
Gen. Sherman, ;. One thing is noticeable
and that is the marked decline OF the
Blaine boom and the fact that five delegates
from five different districts here expressed
themselves opposed to him undrrany and all
circumstances So rapid has been the
change of public sentiment in this regard
that one month longer is likely to find him
without any substantial following in lndi-

THE OTHER SIDE.
Statement of Captain Munro Of the city of
Rome.

NEW YORK, MAY l2.-Captain Munro, OF
the steamer City Of Rome, states that en-
April 23 while passing six sailing vessels
almost becslmed within two or three miles
of each other, a fulLrigged ship was OBJ
served two or three miles away displaying
signals interpreted BY me TO be ship
wrecked crew state but no urgency signal
was DISPLAYED. or if displayed, Was not seen
nor was the name or nationality of the ship
given Had the signal of distress or
urgency been seen it could have
had immediate attention. As the day
was calm the signals displayed were
difficult to make out; but it would have been
easy for the vessel to put out boat which
could have intercepted the City of Rome.
Not until after he's arrival at Liverpool and
hearing Of the State Line steamer being
overdue did the accident became connected
in nv mind with the indistinct signals,
when / at once reported my conjecture. L
would certainly be the last man to neglect
the duty Of every seaman to render assis-
tsnce to any one in distress at sea, having
on more than one occasion been indebted
TO Others for the preservation of my own
life. The second and fourth officers OF the
watch on duty at the time of the signaling
certify their adherence to MunrOs state
ment.
