THE U. 8. Supreme Court. 10 the opinions
it rendered yesterday 10 the Virginia debt
cases, says:
"That any lawful holder of tax receivable
coupons who tenders such coupons in pay
ment of taxes or debts due the State, and
continues to hold himself ready to tender
them. is entitled to he free from molestation
on account of such taxes or debts, and that
the various State statutes passed for the
purpose of restraining the use of the cou-
pons for the pay ment of taxes and other dues
to the State and imposing impedlments and
obstructions to that use, and proceedings
instituted for the purpose Of establishing
the geuuineness of the bonds, do, 10 many
respects, materially impair the obligation
of that contract and caunot be- held to be
valid"
Now to people OF plain common sense and
ordinary understanding this seems to have
closed up the coupon crushers" with SIN

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 20.

Now THAT the last court of appeal has
AGAIN decided that the attempt OF the VIZ
oinis legislature TO repudiate the States
promise to accept her coupons In payment
of debts due her, is contrary to that provision
of the Constitution which declares that no
State shall pass any law that impairs the OBJ
lipst,on of q contract, what other futile Ell
fort will the legislature make to set the prom
lac and the decision referred to at dehance'
and to parade the State not only as one that
would repudiate her just debts, but tna' mas

disregard the mandates of the highest court
In the land ? There are but three things
to do with q debt: pay 1t. refuse to pay 1t, or
compromise it. The U. s. Supreme Court
has decided that Virginia shall not refuse 10
pay here. Virginia says she is unable TO
pay, and though many people. we'll informed
on the subject, believe she is, her creditors
are willing to give her the beuets OF the
doubt. But one thing therefore remains TO
he done with her debt, and that is to COM
promlseit The creditors, even with the State
and the national law to enforce their just
demands, still say they are willing to COM
promise on terges more favorable to tue

WHILE SOME of the decisions OF the
United States Supreme Court yeste'-
day in the Virginia coupon cases, ard
in the meat inspection case of MinDe'
sofa, are only just what we're expected, that
in the Mormon Church case Ia surprising.
The legislature OF Utah granted charter
to the Mormon Church under which that
church during loag period acquired near
" a million dollars worth of property. Con-
gress not only repealed that charter but
escheated sill the property of the church to
the United Satez, thus not only passing an
OK post faclo law, and one impairing the
obligation of contract, but taking posses
sion of private property without just com
pensation, and though all three OF these act5
are specially prohibited by the Constitution.
the o. S. Supreme Court yesterday gave
them Its sanction. The law is plain enough,
but the Interpretation thereof passes human

Ladies Smoke at a Pink Dinner.

eff women only smoked" cried a
well-known New York dinner giver,
chow easily we could arrange it. They
would simply sit still until the end Of
the dinner, and that terrible half hour
Or more of ennui in the drawing-room,
minus men, would be obviated."
But woman do smoke" is the reply
to this lady's proposition.
/. Unfortunately they must do their
smoking in private. The odor of their
dainty cigarettes must not be permitted
to reach the nostrils of fathers, brothers.
husbands or sweethearts.
One OF the leaders of New York
society lately gave one of the popular
pink dinners. The artistic effect was
carried out to the smallest detail, from
pink roses to pink table service, pink
napkins, pink soup, pink sorbet, pink
Ices, pink candles and candelabras, etc,
When the coffee was reached and had
been served in delicate pink cups the
ladies present made haste to swallow
theirs, and then turned more or less
nervous glances toward the hostess in
II expectation Of a signal to retire to
the drawing-room. But none came.
After enjoying the situation for q few
moments, a glance from my lady at the
head OF the table brought a waiter into
the room, carrying an exquisite pink
tray, covered with a handsomely en-
broidered pink tray cloth, upon which
lay a little box in pink enamel, contain
inc. a dozen or SO Of tiny cigarettes in
pink paper and no tobacco. One was
presented to each lady, and a second
waiter followed with a lighted pink
taper, at which each fair guest in the
most matter of fact and nonchalant way.
lighted the tiny cigarette and began
smoking. The gentlemen present, with
the perfect self-control so indicative Of
high breeding, did not draw a muscle,
exchange a glance or betray in the
slightest name any surprise at this
little innovation. The ladies remained
at the table, and the guests returned to
the drawing-room in the same order in
which they had left it. The color had
saved the day! HAD the cigarettes
been white there is no telling what
might not have happened. Now that
the ice is broken, who can say that the
cigarette, in colors to match, has not a
future?-BOStO71 Herald.
