A rather singular sermon was deliv-

ablest clergymen of Chicago, in which

ing that the fault is with the rich,
and that dynamite is perhaps the only
agent which can produce that ideal

poverty and no excessive wealth. In

tion, the pious preacher asserted that

things is to make the rich richer and
the poor still poorer, if possible
There are thousands of women who
use the sewing machines who will

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Present Law Regulating the
Sale of Liquor.

The following is an abstract Of tht
special charge given to the Grant
Jury by Judge Chrisman:
Chapter 80 OF the Code OF 1886
gave the right to sell homemade
wines by the pint without license.
The whole body Of the law however
shows this limitation as to quantity.
It NAV be found in sections 1897.
1898. 1899, 100. 1l03. 11O4, 1105,
1106, 1107, 1l09 and l112. All these
sections forbid the sale even of wines
in less quantity than one pint.
The first change in the law was
made 23 OF February, 1882. But
this change expressly left the law in
full force as TO wines. 1t forbids
the sale of spirituous liquors in less
quantities than one gallon. Acts Of
1882, page 10.
The next change was two weeks
afterwards by the Act of March 9,
1882. 1t enlarged the right to sell
wines without reference Ia what they
were made of OF where made. The
amendment struck out the word
pint in section 109S, but left the
law of the 23d February in full force
ard effect. 1t looked TO no conflict
10 the law as amended, and neither
directly nor indirectly refer to sec
tion 1ll2, which was in fall force, ex-
pressly forbidding its sale in less
quantities than one pint.
In 1884 the law was again amend
ed and the right to sell by the pint
wines made from grapes and other
fruits was taken away, and sales Of
wine in less quantities than by the
gallon is forbidden. Acts of 1884,
page Is.
The sum and substance Of the fore
going amounts to this That wine
is placed by the law in the same eat
egory with spurious liquors
and cannot be sold in less quantities
than one gallon, unless the retailer
obtains license precisely as he would
have to obtain them to retail spirit
Gus liquors.-Liberiy Herald.

The Years Railway Building

The railway building of 1884, as
compiled by the Railway Age, iS the
smallest since 1878, aggregating
only 1870 miles on 1S6 lines in 35
States and Z Territories. At Least a
little building was done in every
State except Nevada, New Hamp-
shire and Rhode Island, and in every
Territory except Wyoming and the
Indirn Territory. The smallest
progress was in Vermont, miles !;
Arizona, 5; Utah and South Caro-
lima 7 each !; Montana, 9. The
greatest was in Minnesota and lows,
279 each Dakota 269 ; Pennsvl-

consin, 224 Oregon, 2l8; North
Carolina, 1S4 Kansas, 100; Florida
l53 Louisiant |. l20 Missouri and
Virginia each llS; and Georgia Ill.
The number of miles built in the
Southern States east of the Missis,
sippi River was lila :; in L0uisians
and other Southern States west OF
the river, 342; total South 1456, or
more than one-third of the new mile
age Of the country. The number Of
miles ironed at the end Of 1883 was
l2l, ,592, so that we now have Us, ,462
miles of railway. AS our capitalists
have built more than 81, 1000 miles in
ten years and have carried the roads
ahead of the needs of the country
in many localities, it is quite time
TO slacken the speed of
the builders. The extensions de-
signed for 1885 are chiefly in the
great wheat region of the Northwest
in Dakota, Minnesota, etc, but
there are some connections laid out
further west, like the California
Southern, designed to afford the
Atchison system separate indepen-
dent line To the Pacific and the
Northwestern's Nebraska extension,
which appears to be aiming toward
the pastoral region of Wyoming
Territory, and ultimately toward the
mining regions of the Rocky Noun
tains. Jay Gould has planned q

NATIONAL SUPERVISION OF
RAILROADS.
Extracts from Speeches on the
Subject by Messrs. George
and Barksdale.

Both the U. s. Senate and the
House of Representatives have late
ly had under consideration bills on
interstate commerce, looking to the
regulation Of railroad tariffs among
the States. Below we give some in
teresting extracts from the speeches
Of Senator George, and Representa-
tive Barksdale while the subject
was under discussions:
REMARKS OF SENATOR GEORGE.
Railroads are in a great measure
public institutions as well as private
property. They do public work.
They exist in virtue of special and
peculiar grants by the State Of fran
chiscs and privileges not allowed to
the balance Of the community.
The excuse for this is that they
are public necessity and confer a
public benefit. In their public
character they have been the recip-
tents of bounties from Congress and
State Legislatures, and subsidies
raised by heavy taxation from
counties, cities and towns. In that
character they are grantees OF the
power of eminent domain, under
which they condemn against the
will OF the owner his property 10
their use. That this can only be
done tor public uses is well settled.
Being thus created as public agen'
cies, with powers and privileges
granted by the people, it is a great
wrong that these powers and these
privileges should be perverted Ia
the injury of one portion of the peo-
pie who gave them in order to con
fer an exceptional ben, fit on anoth-
er portion. Private men in trans
actions strictly personal and private
are under no legal obligation to dis.
pense their favors equally 10 all
They may have their friends and
favorites and reward them. They
may have their enemies, aad if they
may not punish them by positive
acts of aggression, they may at least
refuse them the benefit of favors.
There is no just power to prevent
manufacturer or merchant from
selling to one cheaper than TO anoth
er. But when a man or a company
is clothed by the State with public
power to perform public duties
there is no room for inequality IL
benefactions or burdens. The mex
