1T is not generally known who wrote
the popular ballad, Listen to the
Nocking Bird" 1t was first published
under the signature of Alice Haw-
ihornc, though the song was really
written by Septimus Winner, of Phila-
delphia, who preferred to use his
mothers maiden name as his nom de-
plume. He is said TO have made $780,
200 out of it, which shows that he was
d winner otherwise than in name.

THE St. Paul Trust company, trustee
Of the Kittson estate, has shut down on
the heirs and refused to pay other than
monthly bills allowed for the mainte-

he trust company has been source of
much annoyance to the Kittson heirs,
who with S5,000,o00 in sight are prac-

/ Immediately recognized two of the
portraits in the state drawing room.
Suddenly they started violently, the
man rushed to the windows and
leaped out, the woman thrust the
papers into her dress, and a second
man with flashing sword in his
hands dashed into the room and
through the window in pursuit of the
fugitive. Then the woman drew out
the papers and tried to tear them,
bus they must have been parchment,
and she failed; she put them over the
flame of the candle, but one corner
only began to shrivel and they would
not burn. At last she turned to one
of the dirty prints, which opened at
her touch, thrust the document into
cavity in the wall, and reclosing the
aperture fell headlong to the ground.

merits Of the bin pending in the Legislature
to place the pauper insane under State care.
1t is, as our readers know, the most important
of the measures in the interests OF practical
philanthropy which has been presented this
year. There is no politics in it. It's passage Is
urged by the most intelligent and experienced
men in both parties and by all the great medical
and charitable organizations, not only OF THIS
State. but of the country. Insanity is one Oh
the most terrible OF Affections; the insane
therefore, as every humane person will aonhV'
are entitled to the best care. Those whose
Judgment in the premises is worth regarding
agree that State care is the best. IL Is very
late in the session, but it is earnestly 10 w
hoped that the leaders at Albany, Democrats
as well as Republicans, will resolve that TINS Is
one of the measures which must not be aiioWeu
to fail. 1t ought to go through at an early DAY
by unanimous vote. The opposition has SIM
pIy succeeded in showing that it has nothing to
urge against the bill that is worth moment
consideration. 1t is an opposition characterized
not by public spirit, but by an exaggerated re-
gard for purely local interests.

perseverance to roll the stone up the nlh osery
wear with the knowledge that there is tlck
Whiting for it at the top that will send 1t all the
way down again. The malign influence OF the
nrcsence of a man like Hill in the Governors
chair makes itself felt in far more than the
vetoes he writes. 1t is to be seen in the dwarf
ing of legislation through fear of his veto, in
the abandonment OF some reform measures be-
cause they have no chance to become laws, and
in the emasculation Of others, in order to enable
them to slip through. If all Executives were
cast in the same mould as David B. Hill, We
should be compelled, probably to abolish tho
veto. As it is, we must trust the people-and

much better the sum total Of legislation might

TIE EXCISE COMnIsSIoY BILL.

This bill comes up in the Assembly to-day
for concurrence with the Senate amendments,
which we hope TO see given promptly, and by
as nearly solid Republican vote as can be
obt.ined. The majority owe this to themselves
and to their constituents, to keep the record
straight at least. At this point their respon-
sibility will end. II will be seen that they
have yielded to the urging of the High-Licenso
Committee and other temperance organizations
which favored action upon this bill, because
IL was thought t. be so moderate that the Gov
ernor could not Consistently refuse to sign It,.
II will be seen that they have gone as far in
this direction as they could go in justice TO
themselves 1t will be seen also, that they
give Governor Hill the opportunity to erect
into law systematic codifcatiOn Of the excise
laws, the necessity Of which he was urging so
eloQ1entIy upon the Legislature about this
tir1s last year The question whether the Gov
ernar will veto or sign the bill does not con-
Germ them at all
But we believe the people OF the State will
finally appreciate, If they do not now, the full
import Of this perpetual implied threat Of a
veto that hangs over all reform legislation at
Albany. Men are but human, after all, and
Ii takes moral courage and good measure of

THE INTERSTATE Law And FARMERS.

THE INTERSTATE Law AND F4RMERS
1t appears to THE Chicago Tribune" that
the Interstate Act has w,Iked well; that
" freight rates have been largely reduced in
the West since its adoption; that prices OF
agricultural products have advanced, and that
1.-THE ability 10 export has cen materially
strengthened" To sustain this view. II quotes
average annual prices for 1888 and the two
preceding years not on any farm but at Chi
cago, and not Of any other products but only
Of those which are the peculiar and especial
objects Of cornering and gambling in that city.
The question being whether formers Of Iowa,
Missouri and Minnesota, for instance, have
been helped by the attempt 10 regulate rates
across those States and Illinois and Wisconsin,
the answer Of "Thc Chicago Trib unc" is that
there were high prices at Chicago last year
VIGOROUSLY made by corners. For half tho
year the price of wheat was held by crazy
speculation, not only above the price ut At
antic seapOrts, but much Of the time above
thai at Liverpool, and this is supposed to be
the effect Of tho Interstate Act. That market
affected others H. tho samc board, aS usual,
and there was rampant speculation in all-blcSs
the Interstate Act!
II this is the bosO that can 90 offered by so
able journal as "The Chicago Tribune in
favor Of the act in question: is it strange that
sober people elsewhere begin to doubt whether
the measure has proved highly beneficial What
propriety can there be in taking last years
prices for comparison, when even at Chicago
lower prices by cents for wheat are now
ruling lower prices by 3 cents for corn, and
Ix, : fCe 70 bn gtp ff
THE TRIBUNE, upon which the Chicago journal
was commenting, was not that Western farmers
began last year TO feel tho evil effects OF the
Interstate law, but that they were now feeling
them. A candid reply, one might suppose,
would have compared present prices with those
which prevailed before the act was passed.
But the question is not whether Chicago spec
ulators have been helped. The prices at Chi
cago do not prove or tend to prove the assertion
that rail rates from the farms to Chicago have
been reduced, and that tho farmers at the same
time get moro for their products. II that is
the fact, it can easily be established, but it is
not established by quotation Of Chicago prices,
whether fair or not fair. The rates published,
in any documents here accessible, do not seem
to support the claim, but possibly it can be
bNUubu IL W. uit uuNSuOH HIly sui
be asked whether q particular road has been
compelled TO lower rates by any act, or by the
competition of new lines opened within tho
last two or three years
Let there be no Misunderstanding THE
TRIBUNE by no means denies that the Inter
state Act has corrected many abuses, nor that
abuses which still exist are often due to evasion
or disregard Of the act. It's comments have
been directed TO Gnge question, whether the
farmers Of the Northwest have on the whale

gained the cheaper transportation which oley
expected. The act has undoubted merits, for
which everybody is thankful. But it does not
vet appear to have answered the purpose Of its
trainers in some essential respects.
Az 70 one other claim Of 1.-THE Chicago
Tribune.n that the act has materially strength
ened the ability to export" it is with difficulty
roconciled with official records. The actual
cxports in value for eight months ending with
February, 1889, and 1885, were as follows:

Considering that this years exports would
be greatly reduced in comparison II only prod
nets coming from the Northwest and not from
the Pacific Coast by water were considered, 1t
is extremely difficult to perceive that the Inter
state Act has materially strengthened the
ability to EXPORT The figures for March and
April, when officially published, will not help
the matter, nor would a comparison OF guam
titles instead of values. The fact is that the
country is exporting, Of Northwestern farm
products, much less in quantity and III value
than it did in any recent year OF fair crops
prior to tho passage Of the Interstate Act This
may be mainly due to the bad influence Of Chi
cago gamblers, but the figures entirely fail to
support the statement that the ability to export
has been at all strengthened.
The Interstate Act would have great many
more friends, in Eastern States at least if
there were not evident an anxiety to uphold
and justify it without regard to the facts. What
good it has done and is doing may be freely
and gladly recognized. But it only tends to
make people distrust the measure, its iniiu-
ence, and the sincerity of its advocates, to be
continually confronted with claims in its be-
half that are palpably unsomd or contrary to
the facts.
