An imp rtant Decision.

We print in today's issue an important de-
cision by the Supreme Court Of this State
affecting the rights Of holders of collateral
security taken to secure an overdue debt
which IL is important that all persons,
whether bankers, brokers or others who are
accustomed to take collateral security,
should understand, as the court OF Maine is
on this point in dsaccord with the prevailing
law of England and of this country, includ-
ing the Supreme Court of the United
States.
In the case in question, our Supreme Court
adheres to an earlier decision which they
were urged to override and thereby bring
this State in accord upon the question of
commercial law with the rule established by
the great weight Of authority throughout the
English speaking world. The Court declines
TO overrule its earlier decision on the ground
that it has been SO long settled the other
way and acted upon in this State, we do not
feel that we should be justified in reversing
1t" The effect of the decision is substan-
TALLY that the taking of an unmarured mute as
collateral security for an overdue debt will
not give the rights Of a bona tide holder for
value as regards the collateral security SO as
to shut out equities between the parties to
the collateral note, unless there is some new
consideration other than the overdue debt
for the transfer: that forbearanc, to sue is
not such consideration unless there is an
agreement for definite time. This decision
seems to be unfortunate as It makes one rule
OF law in Maine upon commercial paper and
another rule of law generally throughout
the country. Mr.. Justice Clifford, in an
nouncing the decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States in the case of Railway
Company VS.. National Bank, 102 U. S. As, Ia
decision which is opposed to this decision of
our Supreme Court after reviewing the Eng
fish cases, says: These authorities are
sufficient to show that there is but one voice
upon the subject in the courts Of the parent
country, and that they speak to the point
with degree of unanimty and uniformity
well calculated to excite admiration and to
inspire confidence that the rule of decision
is both correct and just Not only every
court, but every judge of every court in that
country, ccncurs in the propOsitionithat the
holder Of such negotiable security before
maturity, as collateral to pre-existing debt,
without notice of any prior equities, is
bona tide holder for value in the usual course
Of business, and that his title to the instru-
ment is good and wholly unaffected by any
such prior equities between the antecedent
parties. Text writers everywhere adopt the
same rule, and recognize and commend it as
the correct and true rule of decision
1t will be wise for persons dealing in com
mercial paper to bear this decision is mind
as the opposite rule is daily practiced and re-
lied upon.

The Craftsmanship of the Democratic Ma
tional committee is at last settled by the
election of Col. .Brice to succeed the late
William Ii. Barnum. Col. Brce is NOT a
stranger to the country. 1t was he who
practically managed the last Presidential
campaign and led the cohorts of the unterri-
fed 20 defeat. The most prominent charac-
teristic OF his temperament is its
joyousness. So conspicuous did it make it.
self in the last campaign as to win for him
the sobriquet of "The Rainbow Chaser"
From the day the Colonel assumed the reins
of management until shutdown on the day
of the Presidential election--nay, long into
the night-the Colonel was filled with Joyous
expectation. In his mind the Colonel car
ried almost every Northern State fer Cleve-
land. Michigan, he reported TO his brethren,
was overlooking with enthusiasm for Gro
yer. In Minnesota, according to the Colonel,
tidal wave was rolling on which was GER
tain to engulf Republicans and Republican
ism. Illinois, in his minds eye, was waver-
ing. tlo, in its ancient allegiance. Before
the votes were polled the confident Colonel
had elected Cleveland by majority more
overwhelming than any President had re-
ceived since the days of Grant The event
Of course showed that the Colonels conf
dence was somewhat oyerdone, but there is
no doubt that it was sincere. Undoubtedly
he was as badly disappointed as the men
who listened to his predictions-more SO in
fact, for many of them had previously dis
covered his propensity for rainbow chasing
1t is only fair TO say, however, that the Col
onel managed the campaign as well as any
body could. His party was weighted by a
candidate who had made himself unpopular
with great many of his own politi-
cal faith, and with free trade message
which had alarmed the business and manu-
featuring interests of the country. A less
joyous statesman would have seen the hand
writing on the wall early in the campaign,
and would inevitably have communicated
his own dependency to his party. We don't
know but it was the Colonel's joy0usness
that prevented a Democratic rout. In the
nextcampaign, however, the Coloneps special
quality will be discounted and won't pass
for so much as it did last year.

The clerk of the weather vouchsafed a
perfect day for the celebration Of the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the in
corporation Of the town of Brunswick, and
the people made the most of it. In all its
features the celebration was worthy of the
occasion. Prof. Eyeretts scholarly Grafton,
and Prof. Chapman's graceful poem were
the most striking literary features of the
day, but DR.. Mitchell's address of welcome,
the fine ode by Charlotte Mellen Packard, and
the biographical sketch Of Thomas Purchase
by Mr.. William NJ. Sargent, are all desery-
ing of high praise. OF course the banquet
was one of the most attractive features Of
the occasion. The procession, illustrating
the progress of the town during one hun
dred and fifty years, did great credit to those
who planned and carried it out. Altogether
the celebration was in every way worthy of
one of the Oldest and most progressive and
thrifty towns in the State.

1t would be good thing no doubt to have
hospital for the treatment of disease in
every county in this State But the neces-
sary outlay would be obviously far greater
than the State could afford. We have now
one first class general hospital situated in
the western part of the State. Possibly the
time has come to build another. If so, where
should it be built? Should it be built within
a short distance of the present one, or should
it be built where it will accommodate the
eastern part of the State, which is very re-
mote from the existing hospital? Obviously
in the eastern part of the State.

This Sunday morning the suns rays
seem exceeding hot in this canyon. Every
one in camp here are now In search OF both
shade and breeze. Quite large num-
ber of people are en.amped here. Browns.
vile, Lebanon and Prineville seem best
represented, though Albany and Indepen.

lone, Morrow county, Is here. Some In
search Of health, some for sport some for
berries.
There Is lots oftraycl over this road now.
Last night three loads of wool on their
way &c Brownsville spent the night here.
But the main travel consists of pleasure
seekers from the Valley and berry seekers
from Crook county. 70 the credit of w
V & G NJ Road Co. the roads are in splen-
did condition for mountain roads. Tho
streams are all well bridged. II the gov
ernment would make one more investIga-
tion we think very little fault could be
found with the road any where. The Wal
ton place needs some work badly and Is by
far the worst place between here and the
Valley. On our way here we stopped
one day at Lever Soda visiting the new
spring which Is immense. The flow from
the spring Is large and is cool and the
strongest In the mountains. We believe
pipes could be laid from this spring to the
camping grounds, which would bring the
water right on the grounds in sufficient
quantities for most any use.
We understand Mr. Crabtree from near

Soda the first of September
Mr. and Mrs chas Cochran, of lone, are
here in search OF health, Mrs Cochran Is
quite poorly.
The many friends OF Mrs Catherine
Lewis will be glad to learn of her stead,
