RAILROADS AND THE LAW.

recent speech of Chauncey M.
Depew before the house committee
on commerce is taken, by a Wash
ingtpn correspondent of the Spring
field Republican, as evidence of a
friendly attitude on the part of the
railroads towards the Interstate
commerce commission. This cores
pendent thinks that many of the
railroad men appreciate the evils Of
the old system and are unwilling to
return to it, and so the presump-
ton is that there would be no OBJ
jections in railroad circles to a
strengthening OF the law in some
particulars.
There is no doubt that, while the
provisions of the Interstate law, in
its original or amended condition,
may have included some things not
altogether agreeable to railroad
managers, it has proved, on the
whole, a beneficial measure both to
them and the country at large.
Since its enactment there has certain
" been less friction between the
various railroad companies of the
country in the matter of freight and
passenger rates; the interests of the
public have been materially con.
served, and those OF the railway
corporations have not been seriously
intertered with.
There seems to be no good reason
why Mr.. Depew and his associates
in railroad enterprise should not b,
in accord with the spirit OF the inter
state law, taking everything into &C
count; and especially in view of TIT
fact that the regulation of traffic b,
the commission may tend to quie
the clamor in certain quarters 70
government control of railroads
The law may not be perfect in it
present construction; but it ha
done away with some abuses, b
both parties in interest, and so ha
won favor at the hands OF the public

wHERE DIVORCE is DESIRABLE.

A writer in the North American
Review for April makes a strong
plea for the complete divorce OF pen
sion legislation from political ambi-
ton and influence. He has no doubt
that 1.-THE deserving soldier who
went unAlnchingly TO the front at
his country's call, and while endur-
ing the hardships OF camp, march
and conflict incurred wounds or
other permanent disabilities, regards
the pension list as roll Of honor,
and earnestly desires, with all other
good citizens, the adoption of such
measures by congress, or by those
charged with the admluistrat ton of
the laws, as will purge the list Of all
those who have been placed thereon
through fraud or Misrepresentation"
And he further AYERS that hitherto
an insurmountable barrier to whole
some legislation on this matter has
been the fear on the part OF congress
men that active participation in it
might prove disastrous to their pc.
itical hopes.
The pension question, like the sill
yer question, is one that may prof
itably be put outside OF the finely
drawn political line-that is, profit
ably to the best interests of the
country as whole. Both touch in
decided manner the pockets OF the
people; and open, fearless legislation
III behalf OF an honest dollar and a
careful disbursement of that dollar
to those who honestly deserve it,
would meet the emphatic approval
OF the masses. Not loyal citizen
OF this country who would for an
instant begrudge the payment of a
pension where it justly belongs; not
an unsehshly loyal citizen who
would ask for such manipulation
of the silver question as would de-
tract from the integrity of the coin
Ill which the people put their trust.
Both questions are of vital import
ance, and there should be no poiti-
cal handicap on the congressman
who considers and votes upon them.
They should be looked upon by
those in authority as matters of the
people rather than of parties. The
demand for divorce of these ques-
tons from the embarrassment of
politics is well grounded.

Evidently the rumseIlers and Their
friends over there are getting restless
under the severe prodding which has
been kept up by the advocates OF
law and order, and so resort to
cowardly, contemplate threats to
bring about a change OF sentiment.
1t ought not to take the Mont
pelier authorities a great while TO
root out the writers OF such threaten
ing epistles and punish them as they
deserve. There is no demand for
white cap methods in Vermont;
and it makes no material difference
whether the letter mentioned above
means much or little in this partic-
ular instance. The spirit is there
and it should be wiped out. The
capital Of the STATE should not trifie
with her own reputation as = law
enforcing center.

The Londonderry Sitter and the
Ludlow Tribune seem to have for
gotten that the Vermont state cleo
ton was completed, so far as the
present term OF Office goes, early last
September. "Harping on one string"

grows monotonous to the public in
general.

Principal Conant of the Randolph
Normal School makes plea in be.
halt Of the new school law, closing
thus: 1.-THE new school law is wor-
thy of fair trial because of the i'm
portance of the interests involved.
The success of our children and the
prosperity of our towns depend in a
great measure on the efficiency Of
our schools"

The informal gatherings of school
directors in the several counties of
the state cannot fail Of being helpful
to all concerned. The state super
intendent and Others who are to
execute the law have thus been
brought face to face and made ac-
quainted with each other, and uni
iormity of action has been made
possible. Having thus met and dis,
cussed some of the more perplexing
portions of the new law, these Of
hcials will be able to move forward
in its administration conservatively
and prudcntly.

Gov Fuller, who has recently been
to Chicago, says there is to be little

it will be necessary for the Vermont

be done, The matter of railroad

The latest from Hawaii is TO the
effect that the desire for annexation
is increasing. Those citizens OF the
islands who especially advocate it
are organizing for the purpose Of
more rapidly pushing their scheme.
Meantime no great stir is made at
Washington over this matter, and
the final settlement Of the question
still seems long ways off
The utter absurdity Of arriving at
conclusions on such an important
matter in a few hours is apparent to
all. 1t looks as if our ex-governor,
ex-railroad commissioner and cx-
commissioner to Samoa was anxious
to rush into print. Other great men
have stumbled just this way.

On his return from Samoa, ex-Gov.
Ormsbee made a short call at Ha-
waii, and his is what he tells press
correspondent of his impressions Of
the feeling in that country:
During a stay of nine hours at Homo
lulu | was thoroughly convinced that
there is a general desire among the peo-
pie of Hawaii to be annexed to the
United States and given a territorial
government. Everything was quiet
then, and ! learned that there is great
anxiety on the part of majority OF the
people to be annexed. Minister Stevens
expressed himself to me as feeling con-
fident that this is what will be done. From
other sources, however, found that the
deposed queen and her friends were much
more favorable to the English gov
eminent"

A Snake Farm.

Don Allen and his wife, Laura Lilo. a
Mexican snake charmer, recently passed
through Memphis with cargo of 200 live
snakes, which they were taking to Aliens
snake farm in Christian county, Mo-, 40
miles southwest of Springfield
The snakes ara of the most venomous
kind and of various species and sizes from
the tiny adder to the biggest rattlesnake
In the lot are also a copper jawed python
very rare specimen, which is destined for
the Smithsonian institution, and a canni-
bal snake, which is almost as rare. The
king of the lot however, is pet black fell
low, whose mission is to hunt rattlesnakes
and run them out of their dens. This snake
is named sOan and is as docile as dog.
The serpents are put to various uses after
being taken to the far. Many are sold to
museums, others boii, pwn for Oil, and
large profit is also made Ifom the venom, of
the moccasins and rattlesnakes, which is
used in making poison for which there-is
a large sale in Mexico.
The serpent queen, who,handles the rep
tiles. is frequently bitten, but uses a rem
edy of her OVID making, which kills The
poison almost instantlysHThese snakes are
tut part of the number which Allen and
his wife have gathered in Arkansas since
spring. They have shipped several cargoes
TO the farm, and one lot of 1875 was recently
Aost by the sinking of their boat in the Ar.
kansas river. They will not tell bow they
sep1nre their sqpirming merchandise.
