The Virginia Coupon Case.

Chicago Times.
The decision OF the supreme Judicial au-
thority upon what are called the Virginia
coupon cases is of transcendent Importance.
1t is the first decision in the whole history of
our Jurisprudence that goes in favor Of jus
tice against the scandalous design of injus-
tice that in the year 1898, was embodied in
the eleventh, or better called, reparatiOn
amendment. Although it is rendered by
divided bench -four of the nine Justices dis
senting). it points, nevertheless with great
precision to the truth and right that in the
future must guide the best Judgment and
high moral sense of the nation in relation to
the momentuous interest it affects.
The enormous Importance OF the present
decision is in the avoidance by the Judicial
power Of the eleventh amendment 10 the
Federal constitution. The decision of the
court avoids ii, and avoids the argument OF
the dissenting justices in support OF the
wrong, by declaring that the suit brought
against the tax collector for seizure Of the
taxpayers property after due tender of cou-
pOns according TO the Germs of the contract
with the bondhOlders, lis not suit against
the state, but against an individual trespasser
acting without authority" because it was
not in the power OF Virginia to authorize
such seizure by an act that invalidated
the obligation of its contract
All the legislation Of Virginia that attempts
to eyade its contracts to receive the interest
coupons OF its bonds in payment OF taxes is
unconstitutional and void. because il impairs
the obligation of contract" and such void
legislation neither clothes nor can clothe any
tax collector with lawful authority TO seize
the goods Of another upon the pretense OF a
warrant for the collection Of taxes, and If he
does so it is at his personal peril. This is the
gist Of the courts decision.
1t is reported in dispatch from Richmond
that the decision has produced great excite
merit in that focus of Reputation; that it viii

EVERY ONE SHOULD WALK.
Hints On the Gait, the Dress and
Other Matters.

Every healthy person, man or woman,
should be good walker, able at any time
to walk six to twelve miles day at least,
and double that when gradually brought UP
to it. The points to be attended to are to
see that the walk be brisk and vigorous, not
of q lettering or dangling kind: that there
be some object in the walk besides it being
a routine constitutional, and, if possible, in
pleasant company; that there be no tight
clothing, whether for the feet OF for the
body, which will cOnStrain or impede the
natural movements or the limbs and trunk,
and that the walk be taken as far as pos
sibe in the fresh country air. In regard to
the latter particular, although towns are
increasing so rapidly as to make it almost
journey to get out of them on foot, still we
have so many suburban tramways and rail
way lines that in a few minutes we can
find ourselves in the country, where the air
is fresh and pure. Whenever an oppor-
tunity presents itself for little climbing ri
the course Of a walk itShOud be taken adj
vantage Of We gain variety of muscular
action as well as increase the eXertiou, and
we get into regions Of purer air and fresher
breeze at the same time. What may be
as the weak point III walking as
a mode of exercise is the comparatively
small play which it gives to the muscles Of
the shoulders and chest, while it is still less
for those of the arm. This should be com
pensated for by the use Of light dumb-bells
Dr Indian clubs, or some other form of ex-
ercise which brings in play the arms and
shoulders. One Of the forms Of exercise
which requires the action of the muscles of
the arms and shoulders, as well as those Of
the trunk and legs is swimming. This,
however, for many reasons cannot be used
as means Of exercise except by few, and
at certain seasons OF the year, but where
possible it should be always practiced. The
great pity is that boys and girls do not
earn it while at school Every large town
should be well supplied with swimming
baths, and if it could be made compulsory
for scholars at certain age, say twelve, TO
earn to swim, it would be great advan-
tage to all. and also be the means of saving
many lives.

CUSTER's FRIEND.
Meeting of Old Chums but Present
Enemies After MANY wears

EhemheS Ahter MANY Years.
The seventh cavalry was sent to guard
the engineers OF the Northern Pacific while
they surveyed the route to the Yellowstone.
This party of citizens joined the command
few days out from Fort Rice. Gen.
custer wrote me that he was lying on the
buffalo robe in his tent, resting after the
march, when he heard voice outside ask
ing the sentinel (which was Gen. Custer's
tent" The general called out: 'sHalloo
old fellow! L haven't heard that voice in
thirteen years, but l know it! Come in.
and welcomer Gen. Rosser walked in
and such a reunion as we had! These two
had been classmates and warm friends at
West Point, and parted with sorrow when
Gen. ROsSer went into the Southern army.
Afterward they had fought each other in
the Shenandoah valley time and time again.
Both of them lay on the robe for hours
talking over the campaign in Virginia. In
the varying fortunes of war sometimes one
had got possession of the wagon train be-
longing to the other. | knew of several
occasions when they had captured each
others headquarters wagon, with their pri-
vate luggage. II one drove the other back
in retreat, before he went into camp he
wrote note addressing the other as Dear
friend" and saying: ''Y Ou may have made
me take few steps this way to-day, but
I'll be even with you tomorrow, Please
accept my good wishes and this little gift"
These notes and presents were left at the
house of some Southern woman as they re-
treated out Of the village. Once Gen.
Custer took all of his friends luggage and
found in it new uniform coat of Confed-
crate gray. He wrote a humorous letter
that night thanking Gen. RosSer for setting
him up in so many new things, but auda-
ciOusly asking him if he would direct his
tailor to make the cOat-tails of his next
uniform little shorter as there was a
difference in the height Of the two men.
Gen. Custer captured his herd of cattle at
one time but he was so holly pursued by
Gen Rosser that he had dismounted, cut
whip, and drove them himself until they
were secmed.-Boots and Saddles, by

We publish this morning, in contrast with
the reports of Messrs. MERRIAM and Nc
CARDY for the fiscal year 1S7S'79, the re-
port Of JOHN W. ROCHE. comptroller for
the following fiscal year. commencing June
! 80. 1879, and ending July /, 1880. BY COM
parsons Of these two reports the people of
thf, city can Judge for themselves which
| has the most buSineSs-like method about it.
! 1t will be observed that Mr.. MCCARDY re-
ports his disbursements las per voucher,
when in fact there is no voucher or state
ment of any kind accompanying the report
showing what the money was paid out for
! Neithers there any evidence accompanying
| il TO show that the amounts paid ''as per
voucher were paid in discharge of obliga-
tons against the board of education, or that
and directed to be paid by the
board of education. So far as the
public can see there is no means of ascer-
| tanning from Mr. AICCARDY'S report or
! from Mr.. MERRIAM's statement whether
any single expenditure was made i'll the
payment of salaries due to teachers OF to
contractors for erecting school buildings or
whether they were made in the purchase Of
street railway stock, bank stock, high step
ping trOtters, silk stockings or mOoley bulls.
Every single item of expenditure, whatever
| it may have been, was included under the
general description of disbursement as per
voucher"
In contrast with such an unbusinesS-like
method we place the report Of Comptroller
ROCHE for the succeeding year. 1t will
be observed that in making up his report
| Mr.. ROCHE in stating the disbursements
refers to each by particular number, and
| accompanying the report is filed the voucher
marked with that number showing in de-
tail the nature of the claim, by whom au-
| dited and allowed, and when paid. Thus
we present to the voters of st. Paul the
! two methods of business adopted respect
lively by Candidates ROCHE and MCCARDY
and will leave to them to make choice of
| the best.

THE graphic details of the fight between
Gen. MTDDLsToS's forces and the half-breeds
and their Indian allies, which appeared ex-
clusively in the Northwest in the GLOBE news
columns yesterday morning and was thence
sent cut TO the Associated Press, was the first
authentic account of the affair. Through
this medium the Dominion government was
first advised OF the battle. And as was shown
yesterday by the GLOBES Ottawa dispatches.
It was the first news received in the commons
Of the sanguinary conflict; and II was the oc-
easion Of much excitement And the GLOBES
late edition conveyed the only information
given 10 the public yesterday morning that
the breeds and Indians, who were believed to
be corraled in the rSvfne, had escaped and
were in full fight from the fateful field where
they met the raw recruits OF the Canadian
militia who, by the way, gave evidence OF hav-
frg genuine British blood by the gallant stand

THE Pioneer Press enters the plea of con-
fession and avoidance to the GLOBES charges
against the ring candidates. you're an
other" is the only argument available when
man is cornered, but it is not effective in re-
polling an accusation. In view of the fact that
the Pioneer Press had been SO earnest and
continuous in its demands for changed sys-
tenn in the management of the city's finances.
and as it had held up Messrs. MERRIAM and
MCCARDY as its ideals of the Cuisines re-
form" it advocated, it was very unkind cut
in thatjournal to decline to say one word in
advocacy OF the system which those gen.
tlemen have been practicing and which the
GLOBE was kind enough to explain to the
public.

FROM the tenor of the GLOBES specials this
morning, Gen. MIDDLETON was really worsyed
in yesterdays engagement with the half
breeds and their Indian allies. 1t mustbe
admitted, however, that the troops galantly
withstood the whitening fire that was poured
into their ranks by the deadly sharp-shooters
in the enemy's lines. 1t requires nerve on
the part of regulars even to stand steady
under Il well-directed fire from an invisible
foe. But the raw militia from Canada, fresh
from the enervating influences of hOspitable
homes, bravely faced this sort of fire on
Friday and never flinched. The casualties
reported in the GLOBE give some idea of the
fortitude the militia must have exercised.
Just what the result of the contemplated adj
vance on RIEL'S fortified position at Batoche
may be cannot be OWNED, but, if his COM
munication is cut in the rear, as is intimated,
it may be disastrous.
