enclosures, that someone else, or even the
great body of the people, might have &C
cess to an adjacent territory 1t most Ger
tainly could not!
Shall the government ordain or estab-
lsh a thing one day and on the next de-
clare that the thing SO ordained and es-
tablished is a nuisance to be abated by its
police power? Shall the government one
day invest It's subjects with a right of
property, and on the next revoke the
deed?
When reduced to its last and its true
legal analysis, the point in controversy is,
shall the government have a way over de-
PENDANTS land? 1t is this or 1t is moth
ing. PROFESSIONALLY the way may be
obtained, but not by invoking the police
power of the government. 1t must be
bought and paid fol in the manner and
according to the methods prescribed for
the condemnation of lands. Moreover,
the line of pathway must be described,
and the transit of the public limited to
the line. Surely no civilized government
ever though it could, through
its police powers, obtain a public
way, would ruthlessly destroy more
fencing, or commit greater injury than
public exigency demanded Surely, it
would not expose a vast domain to indis-
criminate encroachment and invite the
public to a transit on whatsoever lines it
willed. 1t is needless to repeat, either in
form or in substance, that principle which
has so often and SO impressivcly been
announced by the bench and approved by
the bar, that no government which. rests
on the basis of fixed laws, whatever its
form, or wherever its sovereignty may re-
side, has ever asserted the right or law
fully exercised the power to appropriate
private property for public use without
compensation.

When a goodly number had assembled
the chairman briefly explained the objects
of the gathering and the intentions of the
encourages of the militia movement.
In response to calls County Clerk jeff
rey made a short address. He impressed

that militia duty did not consist entirely
OF dress parade performances; tney were
liable to be called upon to undertake
serious tasks.
By request Col. Sitter and Capt.

The Minstrels.
Providence Telegram.

1t is many years since the cry was raised
that black faced minstrelsy had seon its
day. When Christie, Cotton, Sharpley,
Norris and others delighted thousands by
their delineations of negro life and char
acter, minstrelsy was in the ascendant,
but in these later days it requires more
talent, larger companies and greater re-
sources to please the fastidious taste of
the public. 1t is, therefore, paying a
high compliment to the worth and merit
of Dockstader's minstrels to say that they
fully met the requirements of the critical
task that has developed during the last
ten years.

When the last tariff debate wa going
on in congress, n certain member from
a Western state made u great sl"sch.
There was one portion of it which
brought him much congrat ulatiOn.
But subsequently somebody with n
long memory went into the house
library, and after delving among the
Congressional Records and Congress
siOnal Globes, turned up the same
brilliant passage in u tariff debate of
a dozen or twenty years before. so it
was established that all the glory OF
the authorship belonged to n repre-
tentative of the earlier period. The
reputation of the later orator waned
rapidly as it had waxed before the
discovery.
But there is n curious sequel TO this
story. Congressman Claidy, of Mis-

Weary and Worn.

When the tired factory operative, the weary

or clerk seeks a medical recompense for eX-
penditure of bodily force, where shall he find
it? Could the recorded experience of thou.
sands of workers be voiced, the verdict would
be that Hostetters Stomach Bitters renews
failing strength, stimulates the jaded mental
powers to fresh activity, and relaxes undue
nervous tension as nothing else does. Diges-
ton, regular habit of body, appetite and
sleep are promoted by it, and it is an admir-
able auxiliary in the recovery OF health by
convalescents. A fastidious stomach is not
offended by it, and to persons of both sexes in
delicate health who occasionally feel the need
of an efficient tonic, the whole range of the
pharmacopoeia and the catalogue of proprie-
tary medicines does not present more useful,
safer or more decisive one. 1t 10 also incom-
