Railroads Held Liable.

In very able opinion by Judge
Keith in the case of the Richmond
and Allegheny Railway Company Us.
the r. A. Patterson Tobacco Company
of Richmond last week it was held that
railways in this State receiving goods
to be transported to other States or
foreign points was liable to the shipper.
The point was that the Richmond
and Allegheny Railway had delivered
tie goods safely to another road and
were not liable, and also that section
1895 of the Code of Virginia was in
conflict with the constitution OF the
United States. The court held
otherwise and affirmed the decision OF
the court below,

The free silver movement in both
parties has degenerated into a desper-
ate and despicabIe scheme of obstruc-
ton. 1t is responsible for tie failure
of the emergency revenue bill in the
senate-a necessary and bipartisan
measure-and it will be on hand at
both of the national conventions for
the purpose of obstruction and de
struetion. 1t goes TO st. Louis and to
Chicago, not because it wou d promote
the interests of their party, but for the
avowed purpose of ruling or running in
the sordid interest of free silver coin
age. There is but one safe course be-
fore the two national parties and that
is to repudiate the silver heresy at
once and forever The republican,
that bases his republication on free
silver coinage, or the democrat that
makes a 16 TO l ratio the measure of
his democracy should find his party
allegiance elsewhere He has no bust
ness in either convention if he goes in
with the purpose not to abide a de-
cision of the majority, but to bolt if
bis own views do not prevail.-IndeD-

Tucker VIndicates Minister Bay ard

A despatch from Washington to the
Baltimore Sun under date of Thursday
last says
SIN the discussion of the Bayard reso-
luton in the House to-day Representa-
tive Tucker, of Virginia, made prob
ably the strongest speech that has
come from the democratic side concern
ing Mr.. Bayard's utterances. Mr.. Tuck
er had no excuse to make for Mr.. Bay
ard, but, as he should. boldly proclaim
ed that every word he had uttered is
true. Mr.. Tucker charged, and there
was no one upon the republican side
who attempted to contradict the asser-
ton, that Hon Win L. Wilson, of West
Virginia, was defeated for Congress
through the use of money contributed
by the beneicaries of a high protec
tive tariff. and that a similar use of
money had defeated Hon VIM R Nor
rison. Both these gentlemen are con-
spicuous tariff reformers, and each had
endeavored in Congress to destroy the
monopolies and trusts which the pro
tective system had produced No bet
ter evidence than this. Mr.. Tucker
held, could be produced to prove the
truth of Mr.. Bayard's assertion that
protection tends TO Danish men of in
dependent minds from the councils of
the nation

child did not return the woman did
not make the absence of the child
known nor did she make any effort to
find her. The child is in a critical
condition, and it is more than prob
able that she will die. If she lives, ii
