Hon. W. D. Hill is preparing a
bill which he will introduce at an
early day providing for the erection
of Government buildings in towns
where the receipts of the post office
are $1,000 or over, the expense, site,
erection, etc, to be paid in silver
dollars. The Toledo Post saws it is
a step in the right direction-it will
furnish suitable quarters for post
offices or other public purposes at
less annual expense to the govern
mcmillan is now incurred it would
put money in circulation among
the people; and it would wipe out
the alleged surfeit of silver dollars
which now appears to be giving
government officials and money
lenders so much uneasiness. Let
the government enter upon a poll
cy of public improvement which
will give employment to the people,
instead of reducing the revenues
paid by the wealthy and allowing
the poor. to remain in idleness and
want. Here is an opportunity to
do an immediate and a lasting good
to the country.

Last week Representative Farrar
introduced a bill prohibiting the
sale of liquor to be drank on the
premises, and to prohibit the sale
on Sunday, except by druggists on
prescription of a physician for
medical purposes only. 1t re-enacts
the old dram law, which was a dead
letter on the statute-books and went
down with the Scott law. He also
introduced a bill substantially the
same as the Scott law with the lien
clause left out, and the same bill
with the lien clause left in-making
three bills in all, restricting and
regulating the liquor traffic in the
state. 1t is possible the Scott law,
without the lien clause, may pass
the house, but it is believed will not
pass the Senate.

MI. John Thompson, President
of the Chase. National Bank, New
York, says that of all the National
Bank officers in that city, he is an
out-and-out silver man. He says
that this is not the first time that
he has stood alone. He was alone
in support of the present National
Bank system. When he organized
the first bank in New York, no one
would touch the stock, and he was
compelled to take the whole in his
own family.

citizens of Mansfield have organic

that each of these one hundred pa

organization ten dollars for the pur-

dayton Democracy

Justice Field, of the United States
Supreme Court has just rendered a
decision in a case coming up from
Missouri which will be of immediate
interest to both farmers and railroad
companies. A statute of Missouri re-
quires every railroad company in the
State to fence its track through Guilt
waited fields and unenclosed lands, and
provides that the company shall be
liable in double the amount of dam
age when stock is killed or injured in
consequence of failure TO build such
fences. In q case against the Missouri
Pacific the company contended that
the statute was in violation of the
fourteenth amendment of the Federal
Constitution in that it deprived cor
of their property without
due process of law" and denied to
them t'the equal protection ofthe law"
The Supreme Court s~ustains the stat
ute. 1t holds that the legislation was
a proper exercise of the police power

Hence the Legislature has the power
to increase the amount Of recoverable
damages as a punishment of the of
fender. "The statutes of nearly every
State of the Union provides for the in
crease of damages where the injury
complained of, vesults from the neglect
of duties imposed for the better Sc
curity of life and property, and make
that increase in many cases double, in
some cases treble and W quadruple
the actual damages" The decision is
of far-reaching Importance. 1t afirms
the right of every State Legislature TO
require railroads to be fenced in and
to subject the companies to heavy
damages for any injury due OF failure
TO comply with the law.

Senator Beck says the scheme OF
converting the bonds into coin
bonds when on their face they were
to be paid in the legal money of
the United States, which was, and
still is, greenbacks, was a "legalized
robbery" That sounds like some of
our editorials of eight or ten years
ago. He says the scheme of the
bondholders now to make substi-
tuted bonds payable in gold is IN
other reputation of contract, and
is no less a legalized robbery. That
too has the right ring, and is what
we have have been saying for along
time. Mr.. Beck comes of Scotch, or
rather is a Scotchman, and calls
things by the right name. His ar
gument on the silver question is uh-
answerable, and is the true Demo-
cratic view of the robbery of Is
years ago.-Kenio Ne;ms-D Democrat.

This country has built 10000
miles of railroad in one year, but
during the year 1885, BIB was all
the track we put down. This is the
smallest amount done in any single
year for a considerable period. A
notable fact also is that the south
states, and the country between the
Mississippi and the Pacific, were
the sections where most of this
railroad making was done.
