LANCASTER. APRIL 81, 1885.
The Virginia Decision.

The supreme court Of the United States
has decided, but by bare majority of five
% four, that the Virginia taxpayer may
pay his taxes in the coupons of Virginia
rtofe bonds, and that If these coupons are
x0fnsed the tax cannot otherwise he col
lGcted from him; and he may sue for tres
pasg the tax collector who seizes upon his
property in satisfaction of his tax. In so
doing, the court decides that the collector
acts without the authority of law and not as
m ofncer of the state, and he cannot
shield himself behind its commission
and the orders Of his superiors; all and
any Of whom act lawlessly in refusing to
receive coupons for taxes, as provided in
the bondholders' contract with the state.
wAss violation, the court declares, of
the prohibition of legislation that impairs
the obligation Of contracts for the Vir-
ginia legislature TO have directed that
coupons should not be received for taxes
until the genuineness Of the coupon had
been decided in the manner provided.
W6cannot understand how the good sense
and good law of this decision of the supreme
court can be successfully questioned. Yet
the chief justice and Justices Miller, Gray
and Bradley have dissented from the
decision. Until we have their reasons crit
icism would be premature. But it is Ger
tain that if they go to the length of saying
that the Virginia bondholders who ex
changed their bonds with the state upol
its promise that it would receive the cou
pons of the new bonds for taxes-canno
use their coupons in payment of taxes
they say what is false and take an ut
terly indefenible and unmaintainabl
position. 1t is certain that the pee
pie Of this cvsptry ana THIS age col
slder adebt to be- an obligation to be dis
phs:aad lffaRll ubSfEeryy aas Nho sal Is able
ing state, will maintain that state debtor
has any higher privilege than an individus
debtor. Nor can anyone claim that Virgini
is unable to pay her just debt. And an
attempt to cloak her reputation under th
protection of her state sovereignty will b
vain before the forum of the people of thi
nation.
They will have no such state sovereignty
They will repudiate such bastard issue of
noble doctrine. They will say that stat
whose sovereignty will let her cheat he
& creditors has none that she can call upo
her sister states, whose people are tf
cheated, to protect.

A No. Foot Not Always Pretty.

A woman with disproportionately large
foot is by common consent entitled to pity.
But 1t is not the size of the foot which good
taste objects to, but its relation TO the rest of
the body. A large woman with the tiny foot
of girl would be as disproportionate as
the small woman with large foot What
Is known in the market as the No. l
boot can not by any means be made
to go upon tho foot of any woman
whose physical proportions bear any com
parison with those Of the Venus de Medici,
which is the representation of a large and
voluptuous woman. Women who wear the
NNs2 NN2 boot are petite, vivacious, pert, pretty,
Medician type. large women, says a s"t wthfYe! tthfYe
known artist and expert, must have feet that,
10 be beautiful, would he very ugly on a
smaller woman. The No. boot is to a large
extent a female hallucination.

A PRETTY story is told of the / ate Sam
Ward, who long enjoyed in Washington the
title OF ''King of the Lobby" He married
Miss Astor, one of the wealthy family of that
name in New York. During the courtshjp.
many sweet missives, as is usual, were ex-
changed. Those love letters were carefully
assorted, compared date by date, and then,
each proceeding its answer, they were bound
together In mighty volume. These letters
were not all brimming over with yehe-
ment love; there was many a lovers
quarrel contained in them. But as
lovers fights are sweeter than most other
pleasures, the sunshine that followed a storm
made the latter more than endurable. The
use that was made of this volume of love
was quaint and practical. Whenever squall
arose on the matrimonial sea, reference was
at once made 10 this literature of the court-
ship days, and the trouble passed away in
smiles. What Sam himself said in after davs
OF the good this book had done is worth
noting: "There was infinite fun and in
finite good in that old book of ours, with its
telltale record of our criss-cross courtshin. II
made many an evening merry-all for our
selves 1t Itwafted away many cloud, for
never could a difference arise that would not
give way before the materialized recollection
d some one of our tiny difficulties come and
gone. Old quarrels, old love quarrels that
IRE settled, at least-always are Hinged with
ne crispest sort of humor. And never did
me Oh us get cloudy but out came that inevi
aDie volume, and old-tiIne battles provoked
isiDiilty that was death to all threatened ill |
'umor In the present. That boOL was worth |
fortune TO us. When she died Il was the |
most sacred possession left me- Its creation |
'as the happiest thought Of all my life"

In Need OF Sympathy.

Secretary Bayard has our sympathy; and
seems to need it. He has had remarkably
bad luck in divers instances in dispensing
his patronage. Kelley, minister to Rome,
because he blackguarded Victor Emanuel
once upon time, will not be welcome in
Italy, and may have to stay at home after
all. Mr.. Morgan, of South Carolina, consul
general to Australia, turns out to have
been warm eulogist of Mr.. Blaine and his
foreign policy. Presumptively Mr.. Bayard
did not know it. But his worst luck has
been in his Kentucky selections. The bug
man who is sent to Peru was rolling stone,
Of no ministerial heft, at whose selection
Kentucky did not smile. But Boyd Winches-
ter, who was appointed consul to Nice,
does smile but it is in derision. He re-
spectfully declines. 1t seems that the
gallant Watterson asked soft place in a
salubriOus climate for his friend Boyd, and
Bayard thought that Nice would fill the
bill. Mr.. Winchester however, thinks
himself above so small persimmon es-
pecially, we suppose, since the bug man got
3 situation as minister. Perhaps the dis
12sf - was not well adapted to the
q Eties OF just expectations of the bene
laries but it is hard upon the secretary,
when he hands out his places to the ex-
pectssnt throng, that he cannot every time
1t the right head with the right cap,
though he isexpected to do it always. This
thing of giving out offices is not what it is
cracked upto be, Mr.. Bayard finds; and
doubtless he would be vastly more COM
Portable In his Senate seat.
And there is trouble not only with
those who get and those who don't, but
there may be trouble ahead with the
Senate that is to confirm. General Lawton,
we Hear To-day, declines the Russian
mission, because he does not wish to en-
barass the administration in insisting upon
his right TO hold office, despite the fact that
his Confederate sins have not been absolved
BY Congress but only by Andrew john
son, president. Mr.. jackson, Mr.. Law
CoaN law partner down in Georgia,
Who got the Mexican mission, is in the
same boat, but we believe he has been al
ready confirmed by the Senate, and so is
secure. General Lawton might get out TO
Rlss's and have TO come back prematurely,
which would not be agreeable. Probably
he In wise MOTTO take the risk.

IT is now said that A. #. Stewards body
was never stolen and that it lies at present in
the crypt of the cathedral lately erected in

The way to not do 1t is illustrated in q
manner altogether worthy Of the English
circumlocution Office by so-called rail-
road commission bill, " indorsed by the
board of trade and grocers' association Of
Philadelphia, /" and r. to be introduced in
the legislature this week''--at time when
there is no more likelihood of having it
passed than there is OF having a snowfall
on the coming Fourth of July. The main
feature of the proposed new bill isa provi-
sion for the appointment of three railroad
commissioners, who are to watch If any
railroad company violates its charter OF
any law of the state, and If it does, +" they
shall give notice in writing to the president
of such offending corporation, and if the
violation is continued after such notice the
commissioners shall forthwith present the
facts to the attorney general, who shall
take such action thereon as may be re
quired by the laws Of the state applicable
to such offending corporations.
1t will strike most people Of ordinary in
telligence that If the attorney general ant
the governor and the courts have power I,
enforce the laws of the commonwealth
they are bound to do it upon the presenta
tion of any one who suffers from their vic
lation. Why should they wait upon rail
road commission ? And why should th
complaint of any one seeking remedy 70
his wrong he submitted to such an inter
mediate bodyp
What is needed is simply men in all tn
offices, executive, judicial and legislativ,
who have respect for the law and courag
to enforce it, against corporations as we
as individuals, against the powerful as we

gone Conclusion.
A Cincinnati special says: The Ohio
Democratic State Convention, which
is to be held ut Columbus on the 10Th
and goth inst, is exciting no small
decree of Interest, and n task of some
difficulty will be is its hands. 1t is
not q forcgonc conclusion that Gov
crnOr Hoadly will again head the
ticket. Judge Hoadly is an ablo MAJ
but he is woetully lacking in political
balance and his conduct of his cam
paign two years ago was full of mis-
takes. He is too impulsivc to make a
shrcwd and calculating politician, and
too cratic and full of moods to meet
the publicly day after day and forever
beguilc it into his way of thinking and
lead it to his support ut the polls.
Whatever he for the moment thinks,
that to him is revealed gospel, and his
first impulse is to cnunciatc it from
the platform on which he may Happen
to be placed. 1t comes on good inside
authority that n deep feeling against
his denomination exists in Cincin-
natl, his home, and that serious oppo>
sition from that quarter may yet arise.
Judge lIoadly was never popular with
tlC bCllOCIu tlC iluSSCS Vi NtlClnlltJl,
and his ways were not their ways, and
he paid much attention to local
affairs or local leaders until he came

said to desire tic position of Lieutenant
Governor, and to that end i&vors the
nomination Of some nan for the head
of the tickcnt from the central or
northcrn part of the State. II is not,
therefore, settled that lloadly will be
re-nominatcd, and il is altogether more
than likely that any decided show OF
opposition may drive him from the
field altogether. Little is said about
minor places OH the ticket or touching
