her he said; Nevada is the only singer
O to-day and some day must take PATHS
place. She has sung in Paris, in Ger
many, Italy, England and made her de-

sings clearly to f sharp, and the entire
press of New York, every paper without
IN exception, applauded her as the great
est singer in the world, next to Patti"
What of her early history
"Dr. Wixon, her father, thought of
sending her TO Paris. She was born in
Nevada you know, and studied several
years in San Francisco. After they arrived
in Paris he went to Madame Marchesi,
who has educated all the leading prima
donnas, and asked her how long it would
take his daughter to become as perfect as
the madame could make her. The answer
was five years. and for five years Neva-
da studied under Madame Marchesi. To
day she is perfect"
What is her dramatic ability"
Wonderful. She came u~nannounced
and capturedsNew York in La Somnanl-
bula. But when she appeared as Lucy
in Lanlmermoor she fairly drove the peo-
pie wild. The mad scene in the third act
is a trying one, but in it Nevada displays
her dramatic power"

A Graceful Compliment.


From the Denver Times.
The Wyoming Democrats are urging
the appointment of Hon. NJ. Il. Post to
be governor of that territory. The recon-
m~endation is a good one. Mr.. Post is an
old resident of Wyoming. He has repres-
ented that territory in congress. lie is a
man who has the confidence of the people
of the territory. 1t is one of the hobbies
of the Times that appointive. offices in the
territories should be filed by men residing
in the territories. Mr.. Arthur has been
making a gradual change in this direc-
ton. Mr.. Cleveland when he becomes
president should emphasize this policy
and adhear so strictly to it as to in the
future make it one of the aston not to
be violated that the officers of territories
should be appointed from among the resi-
dents of the territories themselves. The
appointment of Mr.. Post would be a good
beginning of a proper course.

Farmers in Kansas.

The Topeka Capital in speaking of
the late meeting of the State Grange
held In that city says that it reminds
one OF the fact that Kansas above all
things else Is an agricultural state.
her farmers are her most numerous
class Of citizens and the most wealthy.
What has been done in the State in the
way of development and progress is
largely due to the farmers. Thirty
years ago we had no agriculture. no
farms, no herds. Nor had we any
farmers. In 1860 about 10000 farmers
had taken claims and begun the OPEN
ing of farms. Twenty years later, our
farms had increased to 13S,561, since
when our population has increased
over % per cent, and it is safe to say
that to-day the number of farms in
Kansas is It's, 1000. Every one of them.
with rare exceptions, is titled by its
owner. In 1884 these farmers had 49,
OIL 1888 acres Of land under cultivation.
The wheat product that year, amount
ed to IS, 60l ,321 bushels, and they grew
the same year 100, $50, 6S6 bushels of
corn. The value of these two crops
alone, that year, was nearly $50. OOO. 900.
Of live stock they owned 461 1876 horses
"a, 1887 mules and asses, $685. mich
COWS, 1,32S, O21 of other cattle, .206-
297 sheep and 1853 IA swine. The
aggregate value of all their field CROPS
for the year was sos, 297, OlO; value of
products of live stock, the same wear
was $40, 49, 1892; and the value their
horticultural products was 81, 355. 800.
The cultivated acres of Kansas. if
brought into one field, would show an
area equal to One-half of the state of
Pennsylvania.
These are few Of many items in
the record of Kansas farmers. and we
| might say since the war because there
was little done until peace settled upon
the land. 1t is a record that has no
| parallel anywhere in the world. If the
farmers of Kansas were well organized,
they could control every election, and
shape the entire legislation of the state.
Perhaps it is well that such organiza-
| ton does not exist, for, while farmers
| always represent the whole community
as to wealth and prosperity, it is quite
as well, perhaps, that no particular
class of persons should be in absolute
power; still, there ought to be a better
understanding among the farmers, Sc
that there should be a better apprecia-
ton of their material interests and a
clear comprehension of their relations
to the business world. Farmers often
suffer from want of harmony among
| themselves in important matters.
Their Isolated lives accounts for
for much of this division. But they
are fast growing to appreciate their
true relations to their fellow men, and
are learning how to best make their
power felt.

And now as to the effect. This de-
cision, If there were any power to carry
it out, would precipitatc 100000 Of
coupons on the treasury Of Virginia.
Nobody believes that it will do any
such thing-not even the counsel for
the English bondholders, who, in two
hours after the rendering Of the decision,
announced that his clients wanted a
" compromise" The bondholders, Bril-
fish or otherwise, will getno compromise
and nothing but what the Riddle
berger bill gives them. That the deci-
sion will give the State much trouble is
true, but it will give the creditors no
profit. Governor Cameron should call
an immediate assembling Of the Legis-
'lature and the plan once before
mooted-we think by Mr.. Henkel, of
Shenandoah, and something like his
school bill-to put the collection of the
revenue in the hands Of the counties
and make the Board of Sinking-Fund
Commissioners the disbursing power of
the State, should be passed. If not
this, then some better measure.
In summing up the effect of the appa-
rent success of the bondholders, we
may say that it has thoroughly united
both political parties of Virginia IRE
sisting this attack on her; has deprived
the creditors of what friends they had ;
and has made it impossible for them
ever to get more than the Riddleberger
bill gives. No officer Of the State will
disobey her laws which he has sworn to
support and receive coupons for taxes,
and every sworn officer of Virginia is
quite ready to take the consequences OF
his acts. Saunton indicator.

The States and the Decision


We shall have to qualify our too gen.
eral condemnation of the commercial
spirit Of the northern press. The No
fion, the New York Erening Post, and
the Boston Herald are to be put on the
list Of northern papers which do not
approve Mr.. STANLEY Matthew's
usurpation Of jurisdiction in the Virgil
MIA coupon cases. The last named, an
independent Republican paper, speaks
out boldly, as follows;
"THE VIRGINIA DECIsIoN.-It is
not pleasant to think that the decision
of the Supreme Court Of the United
States in the Virginia tax-coupon cases,
which seems to be so important in its
scope, rests upon q bubble. On the
one hand, there is no question that the
reimbursement law of 1882, known as
the coupon-killer, impaired the obli-
CATION of q solemn contract made by
Virginia with its creditors in 1871, and
that is contrary to the Constitution of
the United States. On the other hand,
the eleventh amendment Of the Consti-
tuition OF the United States denies juris-
diction of United States courts in
cases where citizens seek to enforce
claims against State. Here is a
direct conflict, but the majority of the
court, in making the recent decision
dodge it by adopting the view that the
action of the coupon-holder was not
against the State, but against the tax
collector. This is what we call qaib-
BILE, for the tax-collector is an agent of
the State, and without agents the State
cannot act. The previous decision,
which was the other way, was based
on the eleventh amendment, which was
later than the provision about contracts.
The fact that Judge Field, the only
Democract on the bench, was in the ma
iority shows that the decision was not
| on account Of political views Of the re-
lations of the States to the General
Government"
The Herald is. however, totally in
error when it says that the constitu-
tional provision in regard to contracts
applies to the contracts Of the States
themselves. 1t does not. 1t cannot.
That provision is annulled so far as il
originally applied to States. 1t stands
on the same footing as the provision
which requires fugitive slaves to be sur.
rendered to their owners. This last
was nulli6ed by the thirteenth amend
ment. So the contracts Of States were
by the eleventh amendment taken out
from under the Constitution. Read
Judge BRApLEy's opinion on thi:
point.

Legislature. The matter should rise
above al party considerations, and Is
one which should have prompt attsn-
ton.
Ono thing Is sure, that IL any party in
the State quietly accepts the decision Of
the court and recommends nothing to
be done, that party viii be showed
under - as no party ever before was
done in Virginia. 1t may have been
bad morals for the State to have SEEM
ingly repudiated part Of her debt, but
that does not prevent her people from
doing all in their power to Illustrate q
decision totally at war with the Constr
tuition Of the United States. But
morals Is no cause why verdicts should
be rendered totally at war with the
written laws of the country. To my
mind the decision Of the court seems to
have been one on morals instead OF
law. NJ. @. A.

Matthew'S.

Mr.. Justice Matthews VS.. Mr.. Justice
Matthews.
In the now famous case Of Antoni
cs. Greenhow Q07 United States Re-
ports, 1889 Mr.. Justice MATTHEWS said
as follows:
"For breach Of its contract by a
State no remedy is provided by the Con-
stitution of the United States against
the State itself, and suit to compel
the officers Of State to do the acts
which constitute performance of its
contract by the State is a suit against
the State itself."
In the recently-decided coupon cases
Mr.. Justice MATTHEWS said as fol-
lows:
=" An action or a suit brought by a
taxpayer who has duly rendered such
coupons in payment of his taxes against
person who, under color of office as
tax-collector and acting in the enforce
ment of a void law passed by Legis-
lature of a State, having refused such
coupons, proceeds by the seizure and
sale of the property of the plaintiff to
enforce the collection Of such taxes, is
an action or suit against him personally
as a wrong-doer, and IS not a suit
against the Stale within the meaning
Of the eleventh amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States.'

The Coupon Cases.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch
Many besides yourself were greatly
disappointed at the recent decision made
by the Supreme Court Of the United
States in the Virginia cases, and some
were equally surprised to find the court
divided as it was. There was one gen.
tleman on the court who has always
been called ates'-rights Demo-
crat," but we do not think he proved
anything Of the kind when the vote was
taken on the Virginia cases. The mi
nority opinion speaks the constitutional
view of the question so plainly and
SO clearly that the wonder is
that such views failed to receive the
approval of judges sworn to expound
the Constitution of the United States.
The decision only goes to show that
what is law depends very much upon
who are the judges to decide it. 1t is
clear that until the late decision Of the
court is reversed the States have no
rights the Federal Government need re-
opOtt-uV, uOt tEtu WHICH, al oihcuu-
ment or proviso in the Constitution
clearly gives them such rights.
If the State is compelled 10 receive
her coupons the Legislature can GER
tainly meet and pass some act to pro-
tect her officers from receiving anything
but genuine coupons. The Supreme
Court could not have meant that the
officers should be compelled to take in
payment counterfeit coupons, and so it
follows that the State can pass a new
act to protect herself from receiving
anything but the genuine coupons or
coupons issued by the State. The
bondholders have not yet won the VIC
tory they suppose, for besides public
opinion they will have very likely
to fight some new act (which / think
can be legally passed) bearing on the
matter, and which will he law in vir-
ginia until the Supreme Court Of the
United States can pass upon it, and
that may be some time first. Indeed,
before that act could come before the
court such changes might take place in
the members OF the court as to bring
about reversal Of the late decision
made by 1t. When the full opinion is
received ! think tho Governor viii feel
himself called upon to convene the

There haa been . good deal Of specn-
lation IN some Of the northern papers
recently as 70 the tendency Of Ameri-
can sympathy in case Of war between
Russia and England. We cannot un-
derstand how there can be room tor
speculation about the matter. we
cannot we'll see how there can be
two sides to the question. We
agree with Hasper's Weekly that
in a great controversy between Eng
land and Russia American sympathy
will naturally lean TO England. ut is
not,r says our contemporary, "that
England as a State has always been uni
formly friendly that in such contro-
yersy as that which impcnds we should
regret her defeat, but because, histori-
cally and upon the whole, England has
been the great champion Of liberty IN
modern Christendon, and that her OBJ
iects and course, the extension OF
popular rights, the progress OF the
great body Of the people, have
been and are our objects Also"
That, we think, covers the whole case.
II overshadows all other considerations.
England's policy may be grasping, may
be blood-sucking, may be ell that her
most inveterate enemies charge, but the
fact remains that she has elevated what
ever she has touched. Whatever her
sins may be, she has done more to civ
ilize the world than any other Power
under the sun. 1t is true that the his
tory Of both Powers is the history OF
aggression, but Russian aggression has
been the success Of semi-harbarism,
English aggression the success of en-
lightenment. The policy of the one has
been TO bind, of the other, as rule, to
loose.
