His speech was revelation to US. We
have never beer brought so elise to the
field before, nor have we ever seen it so
clearly az we beneld it through the eyes
Of DR.. Mabie.
When DR.. Maoie was through Joshua
Levering, Of Baltimore, made some re-
marks, and then pledged $1,000 for the
centennial fund of S25O,O0O, and then
again $1,000 for his twin brother Eu-
gene. Drs. Upper, Eaton, Jones, Glib
SOD, Eubank, missionary to Africa,
Miller pledged one-tenth Of their gross
incomes, many others made pledges
amounting in the aggregate, 1858. 1t

again.
On Saturday eYeuing the centennial

edged my way to the pulpit and found
a lowly seat on the pulpit step between
the knees of DR.. w. D. Powell, our mis-
sionary to Mexico. Before preaching
the congregation sang and prayed, and
listened to an address by DR.. w. D.
Powell, of Mexico. Among many other
things he told US how God was calling
the rich into his kingdom in Mexico,
one of whom had consecrated himself
to the work of the ministry. But the

A system OF State treasures, as out

For system of State treasures to be

RATING TIE RAILROADS.
The State Board Of Equalization Announce
Assessments which, in Many Cases,
Appear to have been Made
with . Special View to
Forcing Appeals.
iSpecial to News and Courier. ]

COLUMBIA. May 1.-THE all-impor-
tsnt State railroad board of equaliza-
ton met to-day and practically main
tanned the final basis of the last assess
ments Of railroad property. In a few
instances there were reductions, and in
several cases the returns as made by
the railroad authorities were accepted.
The larger roads had their figures ma
terially increased, and the Richmond
and Danville Road seemed to be par
ticulsrly unfortunate. The present
figures are by no means the ones on
which the State will collect the taxes,
as reductions are very likely to be
made when the board meets on the
18th Of June to hear any appeals.
There were present at ,o-day's ses-
sion Of the board Secretary OF State
Tindal, Attorney General McLaurin
and Comptroller General Ellerbe. In
the absence OF Treasurer Bates Mr..
Tindal was made chairman. The
board had returns from all of the rail-
roads, with two exceptions. Judge
Cothran, general counsel, and Vice
President A. 3. Andrews appeared be-
fore the board to show that the Rich
mond and Danville roads ought not to
be assessed as high as last year, and
why the returns of the roads as made
were correct and equitable. ~
The board heard the argument, but
did not, from their preliminary action,
take much heed of it. The arguments
were on the same line as those hereto
fore advanced.
In the tabulated statement below
give the mileage of the roads, as given
by the companies, the rate Of assess
ment as fixed by the board of equali-
zation to-day. and the value Of the road
per mile as reported by the officers Of
the roads. The figures, which will be
an interesting study for many, are:

Chicago warehouse cases and now re-
affirmed in the New York grain ele'
va.or cases that State has the power
to regulate the conduct and fix the
prices Of any business affected with a
public INTEREST,"
When this theory Of constitutional
law was first announced by Chief JUS
tice Waite, its far reaching consequent
ces, its dangerous tendencies and posi-
BILE abuses were widely recognized and
commented upon.
II Sthe expression "business affected
with public interest" bad been de-.
fined 80 as to limit its meaning to mat
ters that were in reality Of public
nature, the stand taken by the Court
would have been tenable and harmless.
It would have even been salutary.
Thus railway traffic is clearly public
in character. No railway can be built
or operated without the express con-
sent of the people. Every road must
first get franchise from the State.
This secures to it valuable privileges.
By virtue Of it any private property
may be taken without the consent Of
the owner by payment Of its appraised
value. The road is creature of the
State. Obligations and duties to the
public are imposed upon it. Its busi-
ness and its changes are subject to leg
islative regulation. The same is true
Of telegraph, telephone and express
companies. 1t is true Of ferries.
BuG elevating grain is not pubic
business Of that kind. The owner re-
ceiyes no franchise or special privilege
from the State. He cannot take pri-
vate property without the consent OF
the owner. Like the merchant and
the manufacturer, he buys his land as
best be can and carries on his business
without governmental aid.
The majority Of the Supreme Court
says of it, 1.-The public has an interest
in the business" and therefore it is sub
ject to legislative control. But, as Jus
tice Brewer pertinently asks, What
business is there in which the public
has not an interest? The public is
interested in the village store and in
the city mercantile establishment.
Every branch Of trade and industry
appeals to the community for patron
age. Every branch is for the accom-
mediation Of the community.
II the Legislature may dictate how
the business Of elevating grain may be
carried on and fix the charges that
may be made it may exercise the same
arbitrary power in the case ofany busi-
ness. 1t may limit profits and control
markets generally. It may determine
the compensation any man may receive
for the use of his property or for his
personal services. ....-
a power so sweeping cannot be con-
ceded to Legislature without denying
to the individual an inherent and es-
sential right of freedom. Its exercise
would be liable to the gravest abuses
scd wrongs. Let~us hope with Justices
Brewer, Field and Brown, that ths
time is not distant when the evils OF
this doctrine twill become so apparent
that the courts will hasten to declare
that government can prescribe COM
pensatioa only when it grants Especial
privilege, as in the creation of a corpo-
ration or when the service which is
rendered is public service or the prop
erty is in fact devoted to public use."

Lincoln and Thurman.

Judge Thurman, OF Ohio, when ne
was in the United States senate, was
one of the warmest personal friends
President Lincoln had in Washington.
While they never agreed in politics,
which they seldom discussed when to-
gether, their habits and tastes were
primitive and alike in many respects,
saws the Philadelphia Press, and they
often congratulated each other in
their absolute freedom from social
and political scandals that were too
frequent followers in a life at the cap
| ital. Thurman was n lover of the ia
nous old-fashioned soft gingerbread,
and President Lincoln knew it. and
Mrs. Lincoln was mistress of the art
OF baking this plain, toothsome cake.

on the window-sIll until he had fin.
ished the White House dainties. Be.

The Bread in the Mouth.

New York Tribune: The tariff issue,
according to the free traders, trans
formed Rhode Island into a Demo-
cratic State, and they shouted with
rejoicing, and concluded that other
New England States were going the
same way. 1t was pleasant then TO
befool themselves with the idea that
the addition OF new voters was not
the cause of change, or that the new
voters would always continue to vote
against the industries in which most
of them were employed. But it now
appears that the majority OF the
people do not want what is called
tariff reform, seeing that it threatens
their industries. Connecticut and
| Massachusetts, have similar industries
employing similar voting popula
ton, and it may fairly be expected
that the tariff issue will infiuenc,
those States much as it has the voter:
of Rhode Island. The word "reform'
always captures at first some cheal
minds and few that are not cheap
But Republican gain in Rhode Islant
OF over 1000 votes in a year on {
total OF 5000 would mean a gain o
5000 on the popular vote OF Con
necticut and $4,000 on the popula
vote OF Massachusetts, which is NOR
. than enough TO remove all doub
about those States.

desperate act the whole system of re-
