THERE were able and learned

THERE were able and learned men
on the board which arbitrated the
differences between the United States
and Great Britain on the Behring
sea matter, but subsequent develop
ments show that neither party to the
controversy is satisfied with the re-
suit Of their joint labors. They made
a legal requirement and neglected to
provide any punishment for its viola
tion. They also entered into an
agreement under which the Cana
dians claim that their seal posses
sions will be rendered valueless to
them. In some Of this there is a
thoughtlessness of which average
country lawyers in this country would
never be guilty.

THE law as an engine of Justice i,

THE law as an engine of Justice is
getting more effective. A Chicago
justice has given Judgment Of five
cents and costs to the plaintiff in
each Of three suits against the West
Chicago Railroad Company for having
collected fares and failed to carry
the complainants down town. OF
course the injured individuals were
put to some expense and much trouble
to get their flve-cent damages, and
will probably incur further difficulty,
as the corporation will appeal, but
even this little triumph for the peo-
pie is gratifying. II hungry child

State would bear the cost of prose-
cutting 1t, and the penalty might be
more than restitution of the stolen
goods. But it is very different when
a rich corporation is the thief.

OF all the myths of the fairy age,
of its many legends and enchant-
ments, true love seems to be the one
great charm which has come down to
us unchanged by time, untouched, by
steam engines, and unexplained by
science. True love is true love by
whatever signs and language 1t ID
spoken-as long as hearts beat, as
long as life exists, in whatever age,

WHY do SO few farmers keep bees?
Certainly the expense OF keeping
them is not very heavy, and all the
.bee-keepers become enthusiastic over
the insects. A nervous person should
not undertake bee-keeping, even on a
small scale, as they irritate the bees,
but some persons can work safely
among them without the need Of
gloves or veil for protection.

A NATURAL well Of vinegar was
something which, until very lately,
even the famous soil of Southwestern
Missouri was thought incapable Of
producing. When the proprietors Of
a Vernon County sorghum factory had
their plant destroyed by fire they
were naturally put out, but the mo-
lasses ran into a cistern Of water,
and they are now dipping out vinegar
by the hundred barrels as result Of
fermentation.

EVEN the seriousness of the hard
times for the unemployed has been
lightened by their humor in q GER
tain city. They have formed a
union" asserting that they will live
on charity before they will work for
a dollar day. Their faith in as
sum!ng that charity will support
them in idleness is only equal to
their worthlessness in being willing
to be thus supported. 1t is very
fortunate for a constantly increasing
class Of the population, If it loves
life, that the old Jewish law, @If a
man will not work, neither shall he
eat" is not in force nowadays. Such
a ridiculous union as this, IL 1t should
increase and take in other cities,

Unconstitutional. says Judge Taft Of tho

CINCINNATI. April 2A--ln the United
States circuit Monday. Judge Taft
handed down the opinion Of the court
in the cases heard on demurrer last
December in which Eve express, tele-
graph and telephone companies sought
relief in equity against the collection
OF an assessment OF state taxes against
their properties, under the operation Of
what is known as the Nichols law,
which in effect is repeal Of section
277s OF the Ohio statutes The COM
plainants prayed for the issuance Of a
preliminary injunction against the
auditor of state. attorney general,
treasurer OF state, and treasurer Of
counties, restraining them from exc
cutting a collection Of the taxes in
volved
The hearing was on the demurrer Of
the defense, which raised the question
Of the validity Of the repeating act, the
Nichols law, which was passed on
April 81, 1893 Under that law the as
sessed valuation of express. telegraph
and telephone companies in Ohio is
based not only upon the actual value
Of the properties owned by them with
in the state but also upon the proper
ties elsewhere, including the capital
stock
The opinion Of Judge Taft declares
the Nichols law to be unconstitutional
and restores the effect Of section 2T7s.
The main case in the four which were
left. after the early dismissal of that Of
the National Express Co.. was that Of
the Western Union Telegraph Co
That company paid tax upon the real
and personal property within the state,
but not upon the gross receipts, as re-
quired under the old section, so that in
view Of the invalidity of the Nichols
law, as the court found II, section 277s
