SOCial Notes.

On Friday last Miss Ray Zeluf closed h er
school in Deer Paak by giving picnic at
the canyons. A very large number were in
attendance and after dinner An excellent
programme of dialogues, Rotations and
music was eagerly listened to by the aud.
fence.
The music and dialogues were very good
and the recitations by the pupils showed
careful study on their part and earnest work
on the part Of their teacher.
Miss Zeuf and Mr. Seed rendered fine
selections in elocution and received hearty
applause.
The pantomine arranged by the teacher,
and called Z" The Musical Family" was a
great success and caused much mirth and
merriment.
Toward evening the picnic ground was
slowly deserted, and all reported a very
pleasant time.

is to be learned yet. A nice lot of pin
money he gets by it. AS the tramps
seer to be so well treated in Salem and
the Mayor has such an affinity for them
as to make the only commitments it is
our opinion, and that of many others,
that Salem City should pay the COM
mitment hills and thus the Mayor
would avoid the suspicion of being in
COLLISION with the tramps or City

vide work for the tramps 50 they may

The Republicans came out very well
at the city election in Wilmington last
Saturday, considering that there was
no general interest in the result. In
the old Council the Republicans had
eight votes out of twenty-four. In the
new Council they have ten votes out of
twenty-four until July l, 1890, and
from that date, when the Council will
begin to consist of only II member
from each ward, until the city election
of 1891, they will have five members
out of twelve. This is not counting
the president of Council, who was
elected on a general ticket in 1888, who
is a Democrat, and who will continue
to serve until 1891. In the new Coun-
Gil the Republicans have cut down the
Democratic majority two votes so long
as that body consists of two members
from each ward, and one vote during
the year when it consists of one men,
Der from each ward. The Republicans
also carried the city On the popular
vote.

Why is it we see none of the news

is no money in it. The editor of the
Easton Express gave the secret away of
why all the papers have been publish

prohibition in Kansas. When request
ed to publish a rebutal he SAID he had
the fairness to publish the true prohibit
tion side if the correspondent would re-
NIT 90 cents an inch for it, which was
the rate paid to explain how prohibition,
did not prohibit. Business is business.

The Johnstown disaster is the most
extraordinary ever in this country ard
the loss of 5000 lives in nearly as many
minutes is most terrifying to conceive.
The sad disaster has fully aroused the

that the heart strings Of the people has
been touched is shown by the two and
a half millions of dollars, besides enor
nous quantities OF goods and provisions,
which has been donated to the suffers.

Jury has been leaking its decisions by

The Law a. to Common Carrier.

The Supreme Court OF the United
States this week made public decis-
ion in regard to the liabilities of CON-
mon carriers, which, while it incul-
Gates no new principles OF CONNER
cial law, adjudicates point perhaps
lever before brought to the notice Of
this generation, Mt least, VIE: The
laws Of foreign governments cannot
through their courts, vitiate con-
tracts made between citizens of the
United States in this country. The
Liverpool and Great Western Steam
ship Company had stipulated in it's
bills OF lading that it should not be IL
able for the negligence, default or err
ror IN Judgment of navigators OF the
vessel. The vessel was stranded on
the coast Of Wales. On the trial in
the lower court it was found that the
stranding was due to negligence on
the part Of the vessels officers. The
company then claimed that even in
that case it was exempt from liability
by the express stipulation in its bills
of lading.
The supreme court holds that the
stipulation was not valid in law, for
the reason that no steamship COM
pany nor any other common carrier
has any right or power to make such
a condition. The court says:
mo public carrier is permitted by
law to stipulate for an exemption
from the consequences of negligence.
The fundamental principle upon
which the law of common carriers
was established was to secure the ut
most care and diligence in the per-
Torrance Of their duties.
A carrier who stipulates not to be
bound to the exercise of care and dill
gence seeks to put OF the essential
duties Of his employment.
Nor can these duties he waived in
respect of the servants of the common
carrier, especially where the latter is
incapable Of acting except through
others.
To admit such q proposition as that
the law merely demanded abstract
carefulness and diligence in proprie-
tors and stockholders who take no
active part in the business would be
subversive to the very object OF the
law"
The court further holds that Eng
lish law cannot make such stipula.
ton valid in case of contract made
in this country, for in such case our
own laws govern. 1.-The fact that
the vessel went ashore on the coast
Of Great Britain is quite immaterial."
The far reaching Importance Of this
decision is apparent when it il con.
sidered that it settles, by the highest
court Of the nation, q vital point In
the law governing not only ocean
carriers but also railroad companies.
In the case of land carriers the ques-
ton has often been discussed, but
not always with satisfactory or har-
monious results. State courts have
decided one way and
the other-holding both
that a common carrier can and can
not limit its liability for its own neg
ligence by Il stipulation to that effect
in its bill Of lading.-Dubuque Tele-
