of accepting grain for storage in Mime
sofa only. That is, the contract between
the Warehouseman and the party storing
grain with him. provides always for such
storage at some point. in Minnesota, and
for delivery in that state. 1t was certainly
the intent of the law to embrace within its
terms all warehousemen doing business in
the territory. Whether it does that or not
could not have been settled decisively out
side of the courts. Serious obstacles pre-
vented the testing Of the question judic-
tally. There was no fund at the command
of the commission for the purpose OF pro-
curing evidence and carrying on litigation.
Men who were competent to furnish testi-
mony were disinclined, for the reason that
they did not care to invite the inconyen-
fences threatened by these warehousemen
and their agents, who declared that they
would not accept for storage or buy grain
from those who should have the temerity
to testify against them on behalf of the
territory.

The "Lr and the Opposition.

The position of the controversy be-
tween the Bergen J. road company
and the opposing property owners is
unique. For once there is a corpora
ton in the field prepared to grant all
just demsnds-not only that, but to
give the amplest security that liberal
justice will be done to every one. On
the other hand, there are certain own
chance of having their holdings
tripled in value by the great access of
population which the road must bring
to their doors What do the people
want :? What is there behind this
opposition?
The hearing last night led to some
strange revelations. 1t certainly
placed the opponents of the road in a
queer position. Either misinforma-
ton or misunderstanding seemed to
have contributed chiefly to form the
opinion of the opposition. Here is
Lawyer Vredenburgh making the cur
ious blunder of supposing that the
use of steam locomotives is permitted
by a section of the law which merely
authorizes the application OF steam to
the driving of cable. Then there is
the flourish of trumpets about Mrs.
Soper's opposition, knocked on the
head by the revelation that she no
longer owns dollars worth of prop
erty affected bv the road.
Not one man has the effrontery to
declare that the road is not needed,
would not be beneficial to that section
of the city. Everyone is willing it
should be constructed-wants it con
structed; but the kickers want it some
other way than tAe way the company
proposes. Hence arise these unac-
countable suggestions that it should
run through private property. that it
should be surface road upon the
Hill.
But are any property owners really
serious in proposing that a rapid
transit road should operate on the
surface of the street where they live,
and where their children walk and
play? The Atlantic Avenue line in
Brooklyn, with its CHASTITY record OF
accidents is worthy OF the attention
of those who advocate this scheme.
The whole case in favor of the road
may be summed up in two senten-
ces;-First, it is for the greatest
good of the greatest number
Second, it is willing, and under the
law it is obliged to give full compen;
sation to everyone whom it Injuries.

VERY sinrular oyersipbt.

A remarkable oversight, that seems
to be, which was revealed in the argu-
ments on Friday before the arbitra-
tors in the Morris u Essex Railway
tax case. 1t is necessary to go back a
little TO explain it. Under the old
law the railroad company was to pay
a State tax on the cost of its road, and
the tax was levied upon the items of
cost as reported by the company to
State officials
1t was discovered, after long lapse
OF years, that while the non-taxable
assets of this company grew rapidly
in volume, the taxable cost account
did not seem to grow for cent? En-
quiry put on foot resulted in sus-
picions that the company had with
held some items that should have
gone into cost account which were
taxable and put them on other ac-
counts that were not taxable. Then
came the threat of suit and the arbi-
tration; and Mr.. Stevens was APP
pointed to explore the Com
pany's books for items of cost
that the company had failed
to reveal in its annual re
ports 10 the State authorities There
is marked difference between his
totals OF the taxable account from year
to year. and those which the company

nativity of Atlanta's population, show
ing that only IA persons were born in
all the Northern States. He adds that
since 1860 the. South has lost nearly
one-fonrth of its foreign-born citizens,
who have emigrated to the West, and
he says that the actual number of
Northern-born citizens living in the
Southern States was less in 1880 than
in 1860. His deductions are interest
ing. He says
The South has been built by Southern br ms
and energy. We regret our brothers from the
North have not taken larger part with US in this
work. We have also watched with regre tthe cur
rent of immigration sweeping westward giving
us nothing, and even absorbing into its mighty
volume one-fourth Of what foreigners we al
ready had. But our status has its compensa-
tions. 1t has given a homogeneous people
compact, earnest, sympathetic and united
when unity means more of safety than it ever
meant to any people before 1t has left the
straight and simple faith of our fathers untaint-
ed by heresy and unweakened by spscu-
lation The spirit of Americanism of popular
liberty. of love for democratic principles and
institutions-bu steadily and unobstructedly
here anarchy, socialism-that leveling spirit
that defes government and denies God-has no
hold in the South. Here the old churches are
the best churches and the old creeds still living
and saving. Here law and order reign. Here
government is supreme, and if we love well that
government which touches us most closely we
love none the less that government which, above
all, blesses us.
The people thus truthfully por-'
trayed is the same for whose particu-
lar benefit the Republican party, now
having control of Congress, proposes
to devise legislation of a specially
despotic and aggressive character.

had prepared and on which the tax
had been levied. When his figures
were presented to the arbitrator the
question at once arose whether the
items that constituted the difference
were taxable or not And to the sur
prise of everybody not a particle of
evidence was at hand to throw light
on that question.
Nothing could be produced to in
form the arbitrator as to what they
were, even. How could the arbitra-
tors decide whether they were taxable
or not without knowing even what
they were? 1t is the very point of the
ease; and the only point in it; and yet
in all the 1000 pages of testimony
taken there is not q word directed to
it's elucidation.
A singular want of skill in conduct
ing the case seems thus to be laid bare,
and explanations are in order.
Flags for the Schools - Give the
Children Chance.
Will some one tell us why the child
rem are not given the first chance to
purchase the flags with which it is
proposed to supply all the public
schools in the city?
Frank Cole sends out circulars to
the citizens for contributions, and Mr.
E. +. G. Young, catching the inspira-
ton of the circular, makes the flag
that is to float over Public School
No. his personal gift. No one can find
any fault with either Mr. Cole or Mr..
Young. A flag is a pretty and patri-
otto decoration for a school, and Mr..
Young does himself honor in
responding SO promptly for the school
from which, as he said in his letter,
he went forth to struggle for survival
among the fittest.
But his response was not more
prompt than an appeal to the children
of the schools would have been. 1t
would crafty their little hearts and
intensity their pride in the schools
that are preparing them for the battle
of life to let them decorate, themselves
their school houses with the chosen
emblem of their land
Nothing pleases child SO much as
the consciousness of having done or
having helped to do something
notable. They are as full of the I'VE
did itn' spirit as they can stick, and
their response to an appeal at once to
their school pride and their patriotism
would doubtless be enthusiastic and
generous. Suppose Mr.. Cole appeals
first to the children and then to their
elders. We believe they would leave
little for their elders to make up!
