How Rights Become "Vested."

How Rights Become "Vested."
There was decision of the SUI
preme Court of the United States
this week, which was apparently of
very small consequence, but which
is most sweeping in its results, Civ
ing the sanctio of the highest le-
gal authority in the country to the
process by which the entire wealth
of the land is being made to pass in
to the possession of the few.
The Monongahela Navigation
Company had received a franchise
to improve the river by construct
ing locks and dams. The govern
ment wished to use one of these
locks Congress passed a law con-
demning the property and transfer-
ring it to the Federal authorities,
taking care to provide in the
law that the value of the franchise
should not be taken into account
but only the cost of the lock,
The company refused to part with
the property until it should be also
paid for the franchise, which it had
received from the people for moth
ing. The Pennsylvania courts de-
cided against them, but the supreme
court of the United States overrules
this decision. and holds that sthe
earning capacity of the franchise
must be taken into account in con-
demn1ng the property of private
corporations"
So, a lot of gentlemanly thieves
with plenty of money and no
conscience may get together, de-
eide upon appropriating some func-
ton in its nature monopoly, like
railroad or telegraph or a section
OF land, river or a waterfall, and
bride legislature to give them the
franchise. Then the people can
never reassume their own property
without taking into consideration
its learning capacity" even though
that may be enormously increased
in value, and Notwithstanding the
fact that it would have no earning
capacity whatever, but for the pres
ence of the people. This is the pro-
cess of injustice by which so-called
"vested rights" are created.
This form of argument is especially
OOAAA AAAOAi q LII OAS SSACACH1C4 VI IuC
legal profession. Grover Cleveland,
twill be remembered, some years ago
when governor of New York, vetoed
the elevated road scent fare bill
on precisely these grounds-that the
state had given the right to the road
to charge 10 cents, and that this
right could not be revoked. 1 hold
to the Revolutionary" doctrine that
the people at any time have the
right to assert their rights, and if
they may have made a mistake that
they can correct it at any time with
out compensation to those who NAV
have profted by it, all civil and &C.
clesiastical laws to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The lawyers who
would set up their paper barriers to
natural justice are the real revolu-
tionists, because in giving the sane
ton of authority to what will ham,
per freedom, they open opportunity
for further restrictions, until the
many are tied hand and foot, bond
slaves to the few. And as the many,
especially in America, are no longer
ignorant, they cannot be reduced to
the squalor and helplessness of the
Middle Ages,'or even of France in
the last century. They will rise in
revolt long before such a time sha IL
come, and then every honest man
should say: God bless the Revolu-
tiop!

MEASURING THE BARE.

We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall;
A lily grew on the threshold,
And the boy was just as tall;
A royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and gold,
And heart like jeweled chaiice,
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without, the bluepird whistled
High up in the old roof trees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists of the baby
Were never moment still,
Snatching at shine and sh adow
That danced on the lattice-sill.
His eyes were wide as bluebells,
His mouth like flower unbloWn.
Two little bare feet like funny white
mice,
I Peeped out from his snowy gown;
And we thought, with trill of rap
ture
That yet had touch of pain,
When June rolls around with her roses,
Well measure the boy again.
All me in darkened chamber,
With the sunshine shut away,
Through the tears that fell like bitter
rain,
We measured the boy to-day;
And the little bare feet that were dim
pied
And sweet as budding rose,
Lay side by side together
In the hush of long repose.
Up from the dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light of Heaven thereon;
And the dear little hands, like rose
leaves
Dropped from rose, lay still,
Never to snatch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill.
We measured the sleeping baby
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood caskof
That waited him below;
And out Of the darkened chamber

LUMBER TRUST.
Gigantic Combine to Control the
Business in the United States.

Boston special: There is excel
lent authority for saying that gil
gantic lumber combine has been
formed by Maine and Massachusetts,
parties which will practically con-
troll the entire lumber business of
the United States. Charles v. Hol-
man of Boston and John Ross and
Cornelius Murphy of Bangor
are the promoters of the trust.
They already control many
mills in Maine, but have lately Sc
cured 10000 acres OF lumber lands
in Maine, $50, 900 acres in Florida,
10000 acres in Kentucky, and over
20, 900 acres in New Mexico. It is
proposed to put up mills in Maine,
Massachusetts, Kentucky, Illinois
and New Mexico, and sell direct to
dealers. Tie syndicate has a capt.
tai of $50, 100000. Mills will at once
be built in Maine. BY selling di-
rect to dealers the trust expects to
undersell lumber dealers, great and
small.

The figures given by the News are
no doubt correct.

The moment silver was demone-
tiled it became a commodity and as
such it has kept its place right by
the side of other comm ODDITIES in
their descent of the commercial
toboggan slide.
And, of course, when silver was
taken from the volume of money, it
contracted the currency that much
hence the depreciation in the
prices of all commodities, including
silver itself.

TIRED OF LIFE.
A Wife Leaves Her Husband
And He Attempts Suicide.

Ed. White is tired of life. He and his
wife have been living in Marion street,
but on last Friday they parted, the wife
refusing longer to live With him. White
took his three years old child to the resi-.
dence of Michael Baker, at No. 2 MAdi.
son street, and has been staying there
himself since then. On Saturday evening
about 6 o'clock Mrs. Baker noticed that
White was in q very bad way. He was
frothinR nt the mouth and had every
symptom OF poisoning. A few days ago
Mrs. Baker mad seen DR.. Stump operate
on horse that had been poisoned, so she
thought she would give White the same
kind of dose. She deducted the differ
ence between man and a horse, and
gave White dose that would be about
right for good sized colt. 1t brought
him around all right, and the idea of suis
eide is pretty we'll knocked out of his head.
His wife says she will not live with him
any longer. The nature Of the poison he
took 10 not known. DR.. Conklin was
called, but the patient was better by the
time he arrived. White acknowledged
20 the attempt at suicide, but nays he will
not do 1t any more.

BANKS WERE VICTIMS.
Seventy Three Institutions in
New England Swindled.
A HUGE CONSPIRACY UNBARTHBD

An Elevator Company wiped out by the
Dishonest Actions of Empioyes--stook-
holders Ofrer TO Compromise with the
Banks.
Boston, July 3t.-A huge conspiracy
has been unearthed whereby 70 banks
and banking institution in New Eng
land were victimized.
The story is to the effect that certain
employees of the Northern Pacific Ele-
vator Company of Minnesota issued ST.
500, 900 worth of forged duplicate GER
tificates for grsin in storage in the coun-
try elevators owned by the concern
where the inspection is not so strict as
at the terminal elevators. These forged
certificates were deposited with eastern
banks as collateral. About 100000
was secured in New England and the
balance in New York.
Some of the eastern holders of the pa
per became suspicious and on an inves-
tigation being made the true statement
of affairs came to light. The stock
holders of the elevators were dumb
founded when the facts came to their
notice, and offers of settlement with the
banks were at once made and terms OF
compromise offered. The company
was then reorganized as the Lake Su-
perior Elevator company, with George
Cook, secretary of David Dows 81 Co. of
New York, as president.
The terms offered to the banks were
60 per cent cash, the remainder to be
paid in five annual payments. A com
mittee of bankers whose institutions
hold large blocks of the elevator certi-
ficates was appointed to consider this
proposition. II is impossible to say
exactly what course the bankers will
pursue, as they are very loath to talk,
and, in fact, they have done all in their
power to keep the whole affair from the
public. The few who do say anthing-
and they are very few-admit that they
have been swindled and declare that
the swindlers ought TO be sent to prison
At the same time they say that good
business policy, under the present con-
ditions forbids such severe action, and
especially as the stockholders of the
elevator company are ready to make u
compromise settlement.
The Northern Pacific Elevator. com
pany is now in the hands of receiver
and the frauds of its employees have
wiped out its existence.
Among the New England banks swim
died are nearly all the state institutions
here, which were hit heavily; banks at
Portland Me-, and various banks in. the
towns about Boston.
