Ju1gs Jackso,ps Decisfon.

In the injunction proceeding of the Ches.
apeake and Ohio Railroad Company against
the State authorities. which was concluded
this week before Judge Jackson in the Z.
;. District Court of Wheeling, that Court
decided That af.er axes had been given out
to the sheritEs for collection, neither the
Governor nor Auditor had any authority,
under The ldw, TO direct. govern or control
the Sherifts in the collection of such taxes.
Ii also decided that the rfGcers had no right
to distrain for the collection Of the taxes
due the State by the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company until the first day Of
November, 1885, and cnjoined them from
so doing. In regard to the zen per cent
penalty which the laws of tho State impose
for non-payment Of taxes when due, the
Court enjoined collection until the next ses.
sion in Charleston, md required the rail-
road 5'nlfiuy to give a $4,000 bond.
Just how the Court arrived at the con-
illusions stated does not appear clear to us.
The decision, 50 far as tn, Collection of the
tayes is concerned, seems to IA plainly at
variance with the State law; as 10 the col
lection of the ten per cent. penalty, that is
an open question, and Of il We do not desire
10 speak 1t is a serous matter TO have the
right of a State to collect its taxes nterfer-
red with by Federal Judges 1t is entirely
wrong and should no, be authorized. We
repeat, If :'nch authority..is now given to
these Courts it should be taken away with
out delay. The pc-p'e demand that our
representatives in Congress give this ques-
ton earnestsat eution.

Brightly blushing overhead,
Up she sprang, and, lightly laughing
Snatehed one; but her finger bled.

His Death Monday Morning. at the
Awes ny H5 Kemrn


Peter Mccullough died Monday morn
ing, about 7.30 O'Clock, at his home, No. 600
Washington street, of throat and lung
complaint. He had been indisposed
about week, but his illness did not
manifest its severity until Sunday and
his death Monday was unexpected and
a fevere blow to his family and friends. He
last went outdoors yesterday week and
by no doing contracted heavy cold. At his
request prayer for him was said Sunday
morning ut st. Peters Pro-Cathedral, of
which he was member. Father Kelley
was with him when death occurred.
The deceased was about 55 years old
and born in County Tyrone, Ireland.
When n small lad he came to this coun-
try. About SO years ago he became cit
iZen of Wilmington and soon after mar
ried sister of Funeral Director Thomas
/. Russell. He resided here for 80
years, after which he lived in Philadel.
phia for FIVE years. Recently he moved
back to this city. During tine late war he
was colonel of the Second Delaware
Regiment and when peace was re-
stored he engaged in the manufacture of
shoes ut Front and Market streets. There
he remained one year and then moved to
the Kent Building, on Shipley street
between Second and Third. Remaining
there year he next moved to Fifth and
Walnut streets, where he continued in
business until five years ago.
After that he went into the wholesale
shoe business in Philadelphia, but did not
continue at it long. He amassed consid-
cradle wealth in the shoe business and
for several years has owned much real
estate in Atlantic City, Cape May county.
Philadelphia and this city.
There had been marked change in
the deceased since the death of his son,
Clarence j. Mccullough, in San Fran
cisco, three years ago next March.
Mr.. Mccullough was member of st.
Peters and st. Mary's Beneficial Societies
and the only thing which prevented him
becoming member of the Grand Army
of the Republic was that his church for
bade it. He was member of the military
committee appointed to mark the spots
where Delaware soldiers fell at Gettys-
burg and at one time was president of the
Irish Catholic Benevolent Union. The
deceased is survived by his wife and three
daughters, one of whom is married.
Friends from st. Louis and Chicago
will attend the funeral. The remains
will be buried in the family vault in the
New Cathedral cemetery. The day of the
funeral has not as yet been fixed.

LEO XIII.
Civilization Upheld = No Form Of
Government Bad per Nc.

Civilization Upheld = No Form OF
Government had per Nc.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 25.-The first
full and authentic translation into Eng
fish of the encyclical of Leo XIII in the
Christian constitution of states appears
very different in this full form 6. ora the
cable combinations already published.
Instead of condemning in any way
modern civilization or states as they exist
at present, the Pope highly approves of
all real progress and true freedom. It is
in short an exact reversal of the
policy pursued by the late Plus TX
whose encyclicals invariably condemned
modern civilization asatheistic and Pagan.
In order to show this an extract or two
will suffice. After condemning anarchism
and lawlessness, Leo XIII continues
''There then are the things taught by the
Catholic church concerning the constitu-
ton and government of the state.
Concerning these sayings and
DEGREES, if man will only judge i'm
passionately no form of government
is per Sc condemned SO long as
it has nothing repugnant to Catholic
doctrine and is able if wisely and justly
managed to preserve the state in the best
condition; nor is it per Sc to be con.
demned whether the people have greater
or less share in the government,
for at certain times, and with the guar.
antee of certain laws, such participation
may appertain not only to the usefulness.
but even TO the duty Of the citizens"
