A QUESTION OF STATE RIGHTS

The Supreme court of New Hamp
shire has recently rendered an impor
tant decision in which question OF
State rights is decided. The facts az
pear to have'bael:
Austin Corbin, in 1877, made All
offer to the State of New Hampshire
of 100000 for its interest in the Con
cord railroad. which he increased in
1891 to $1,000,000. The latter propo-
sition was transmitted to the Legisla-
ture by the governor and council, and
the former asked Of the Supreme
Court answers to questions as to
whether the State had the right to buy
the road If the State had such right
and should exercise il, can the State
sell and transfer the road to third par
ties? What must the State pay the
corporation if it has the power to buy?
In the event that the court holds that
the rights of the State exist, in what
property do these rights exis? Sena-
tor Chandler warmly advocated the
existence of State rights in the road,
and after hearings, in which counsel
appeared, the court submitted to the
Legislature, March 81, 1891, without
stating their reasons, but saying they
would furnish them at future day, a
decision that no State rights existed
except by condemnation under the
right of eminent domain and the
payment of the full value of the
road. They held that the right OF
the state to buy the road was in
operative.
For more than two years the opin
ion of the court was withheld. The
opinion sets forth the following
grounds upon which it is based
The court declares, first, that tht
constitution of the State requires com
pensation to be made for private pro-
perty taken for public use and that
for the State to take the road other
wise than by a full compensation
would be confscation. Second, tina
the power to alter, amend or modif,
the charter given by the 18th section
thereof, does not authorize the Stat
to take from stockholders their right
and property without compensation
Third, that the right Of the State t.
take the Concord railway under tn
provision of section II of its charter
was special right applying to tn
road, and that the general right t
take any railroad on giving one
years notice and paying to the corp'
ration all it may not have receive
of its expenditures at the rate of l
per cent. year, as provided by sec
ton 10 of the act of 1914, supe
seeded and absorbed this special righ
and the It Of 1867 repeating the a
of 1914, thereby forever relinquishe
the rig ght of the State to take tt
road.

DAY BY DAY.

What tomorrow brings, who knowsf
Always God, in mercy, throws
A cloud DER what is yet to be.
In mercy; for if we could see
Beforehand all the toll and strife,
The cares attending human life,
We should be paralyzed with fear,
And could not do our duty here
Day by day.
Expect not great things; very few
Are allotted such to do.
Many more find out their cup
OF life with trifles is filled up.
Yet if these they rightly use,
Not because $50 small'' refuse,
Blessings shall descend on all
In the palace, cottage. hall
Day by day.
Then 60 thy way, content
With whatever God has sent.
Do not try to pierce the cloud
Which thy future doth enshroud.
Take the mingled good and i'll;
Do thy smallest duty still
In the strength which shall be given,
When thy need is, straight from heaven
Day by day.

A DEBATED QUESTION.

THERE are three cases pending in the
United States Senate, each involving
the right Of a Governor to appoint Sen
ator when the Legislature Of his State
fails to elect. The precedents in such
a case appear unsatisfactory, and it is
expected that the Senate will put to
rest the debated question. 1t is not
denied that the Governor would have
the right to fill vacancy caused by
death, resignation or otherwise occur
ring during the recess of the Legisla-
ture, but when the Legislature has been
in session and failed or refused to elect,
then it is that the right of the Gov
ernor to appoint is questioned.
In this connection, the Washington
Post observes:
'It is not in the line Of good politics
or sound public policy for Governor
of a State to take upon himself the
functions that belong solely to the leg
islative power, even to supply a grave
evasion of duty Cd the part of the lat
ter. The legislature should be com
PEELED to discharge its lawful obliga
tions instead of being relieved of its
responsibility by shifting it upon tht
executive
Contingencies are readily conceiva
BILE where prolonged Legislative dead
lock over the election Of United
States Senator might result in bar
gain for the executive appointment, OF
where deadlock mi ght be deliberately
planned for the purpose of forcing tht
appointment upon the Governor, there
by negativing, it might be, the will o
a majority of the legislature itself, OF
defeating the will OF the people,
The view Of the Atlanta Constit1
tiOn seems to US sound, as it insures tn,
repr resentation of the State. Th,
Constitution says:
The Richmond Dispatch recentl,
stated that the late Senator BEN jamil
H. Hill contended that the governo
had the right to appoint when the leg
islsture failed to elect a senator. Ther
is much to be said in favor of thi
position. Those who hold the con
trary opinion must admit that it woul
| be possible for States to withdraw al
together from the senate and remain
unrepresented there for along period
This would disturb the harmony G
our legislative system, and such
E course on the part of many States a
the same time might produce seriou
consequences. Upon the whole, ,woul
it not be the better plan to conced
the right of the governor to max
e temporary appointments to fill sens
o torial vacancies without regard t
the cause back of them? This woul
insure the continuous representatio
: of each State in the senate, and th
was doubtless the intention of tt
trainers of our Federal Constitution

The appointment of John 3. Eustis
and Wade Hampton to positions of
trust is recognition of the South by
the President that proves, if proof had
been wanting, that Mr.. Cleveland is a
patricia states man broad enough to
comprehend the whole country and to
recognize every section. Wade Hamp
toms name is everywhere the syno-
nyme of honor and chivalry, and Mr..
Eustis is the son of the late Abraham
Eustis, native Of Petersburg, Va,
and soldier in the war of 181
During the war between the States
he served on General Joe Johnston's
staff and in 1876 was chosen as United
States senator from Louisiana to fill
vacancy, and again in 1884 wa
elected for the full term of six years
He is man of brilliant mind and will
honorably ill the position to which b
has been appointed.

In an editorial of truth and strength,
the Roanoke Beacon commends Mr..
Samuel B. Spruill, Of Plymouth, for
recognition by the administration. We
endorse all our contemporary says
and would be glad to see Mr.. Spruill':
long and faithful services propsrly re
warded.

A HIGH COMPLIMENT.

The New York Sun is staunch
advocate of American interests in
foreign lands and in its issue OF last
Sunday paid this high compliment
to Chief Justice Ide:
"The news from Apia that Chief JUS
tice Ide has arrived there and entered up
on his duties, means that an American
statesman, Green Mountaineer from
Vermont, a man of ability and experience,
has become the administrator of the af-
fairs of the Samoan Islands, under the
authority Of the protectorate established
by the three powers, England, Germany
and the United States. He was chosen
to the important Office by the powers,
under the initiative, we believe, of
England. The chief justice of Samoa is,
to all intents and purposes, the ruler.
His duties are not merely judicial; they
are largely executive, and appertain to
matters of taxation. He is master of
the situation, though under the eye of
the protectorate.
"We believe that Chief Justice Ide,
lately of Vermont, will direct the affairs
of Samoa far more satisfactorily than
they were directed by his incompetent
and merccnary predecessor in office,
Cederkranz, the Swede, who was as I'M
popular with the natives of the country
as with the foreign residents, and who
could not longer be tolerated by he pro-
tectorate. Mr.. Ide once before lived in
Samoa, and held public office there, so
that he is familiar with it's affairs.
Among the Vermonters Of St. Johnsbury
he has always had the name of being an
able and an upright man; and that is
saying great deal for him. The YER
monters are peculiarly critical kind of
people, as Senator Justin S. Morrill, can
testify"

THANKSGIVING PRocLAMATIoN.

The gathering in Of the harvests OF an
other season suggests abundant reason
for gratitude and for the Offering oil
thanks to Almighty God.
The earth has yielded her increase to
patient toll. We have been permitted to
enjoy our personal and social blessings.
Individual and national mercies have
come to us in richest measure. Inter
national complications have been
avoided and great problems solved
by arbitration Great historic events
have been fttingly commemorated'
Intelligence and learning have in
creased. There has been freedom from
