RaiIrOnd Trims on Crossings.

The railroad commissioners have made a
report on crossing accident at Swanton
which embodes some points of general in
terest The case was one where n farmer
was unreasonably delayed by Central Yer
mont train on railroad crossing When
the train finally started up he attempted
to cross the track, but just then the train
suddenly shunted back again and the cars
struck his lumber wagon, breaking it up.
The commissioners censure the railroad
company and the trainmen for unreasona-
bly, blockading the crossing, for not keeping
man on the watch to see whether travel
ers we're delayed and for not giving due
warning when train on a crossing is to be
moved. For the purpose Of calling the
attention of engineers, station agents and
trainmen to the requirements of the Yer.
mont law in this matter, as well as for the
purpose of disabusing the public mind of q
very common misconception of the right
OF the highway traveller to go on his way
unvexed by these delays, the board repro
duce the following statute law:
Sec S,39l.-If a railroad corporation or its ser

The United States supreme court render
ed an important decision on Monday on the
question of prohibitory liquor Legislation
The decision sustans the constitutionality
of the prohibitory law of Iowa. The point
at issue was the right to manufacture intox
icating liquors solely for expectation to 9th
er states despite the state law, and it was
pleaded that the prohibitory feature, in so
far as the manufacture for importation is
concerned. was in conflict with the consti-
tutional provisions giving Congress the sole
right to regulate interstate commerce. The
court holds that the state law prohibiting
both the manufacture and sale is not in con
ilict with the interstate commerce provi-
sons and the decision of the Iowa court is
sustained. The opinion was given by jus
tice Lamar

excitement at Rochester 40 years ago, con
fessed before public audience in New York

ticed fraud on the public for forty years.

The Republican states bring Harrison
within 10 electoral votes of the required

Cleveland within ~ electoral votes. The
Democrats must carry New York or suffer

hand, will win if they carry Indiana and Ell
Their of the other doubtful states. The
real question, then, is as to the outlook in
the doubtful states, aud the chief interest

Jersey is more likely to go Democratic than
Republican, but in Connecticut the reverse
is true. Indeed, so bad has been the Dem
ocratic management in Connecticut, and so
thoroughly are its people aroused over its
manufacturing interests, that little doubt
is felt that the state will give a strong Re
publican majority.
We copied last week the private estimate
of a New York Herald correspondent of
the outlook in that state, and nothing has
since occurred 10 cause revision Of the
opinion there expressed, This was, in
short, that if New York city can overcome
Republican plurality of 10000 in the state
at large, Mr., Cleveland will be reelected :

one that the farmers are aroused as they

look on the Mills bill as an attack on their
interests, and will vote accordingly, The

THE bill to provide for the discharge
of the duties heretofore performed by
the Governors Except the duty of draw
ing the salary, which is going to be
abolished altogether), was referred after
some debate to the Judiciary Commit
tee, the Ministry voting with the minor
ity. Contrary to the usual rule, the
minority in this case was wrong, it seems
to US. The object of reference to the
committee was probably to prevent
hasty legislation, and to be certain that
the bill properly provided for a COM
plete distribution of the Governors
functions. The bill to abolish the office
has also been referred to the same COM
mittee.
