WIN. w. sToRYS LATEST WORK

When Mr.. William w. Story departed from
this life, with the falling OF the first autumn
leaves at Vallombross, he had finished his
work. With the weight of years and mourn
ing and sickness almost was obscured that
natural gayety. that perpetual spring of vital
enjoyment of life, which made him such a
charming personality. The recent death OF
the loved companion OF his life had left him
alone in spirit and he longed to depart. His
work was done, as poet, man of letters and
artist, and 1t was crowned at the last with the
greatest achievement of al. In his bereave-
ment all interest in life and all power seemed to
have gone, but it remained for love to work an
other miracle, 10 revive the benumbed powers
for an effort which was to evoke his greatest
genius, and to give the world work which
represents his highest aspirations and his
most refined skill He was induced by his
friends, in order to draw his mind from prey
ing upon itself, to begin, the summer after her
death, monument to his wife. She, as he
used to confess, had always been his inspira-
ton. He had learned to depend upon her
judgment, and to have every day in his studio
the benefit of her criticism upon the work of
the day. This new work saved his life tenn

CONCERNING VESTED RIGHTS.

The argument of the Southern Pacific
against the passage of the bill before the
Kentucky Legislature revoking the charter
OF the company is that such revocation
would be violation of vested rights. The
whole question of the interference with
the exercise of vested rights is not to be
determined by the mere fact of their crea-
alton and existence-the method of their
exercise is vital consideration. In vest
ing certain rights In the Southern Pacific
Company the State of Kentucky reserved
certain rights of its own. If these have
been violated by the company it has for
feited the right to insist on its vested rights
in the premises.
In the first place, the charter was OBJ
tanned by fraud and deceit That's to say.
it was secured in the name of dummies and
not in those of the real beneficiaries; its
terms did not contemplate the consolida-
ton of the interests controlled by the
Southern Pacific people; an understanding
OF It's ultimate purpose by the Legislature
of Kentucky would undoubtedly have led
1t to deny the franchise as being danger
Gus and opposed to public policy, and as
being an encroachment on the rights of
other States; its terms have never been
carried out with regard to the construction
OF railroad through Kentucky and the
maintenance of a general Office in the
State. The company secured its vested
rights by fraud and has violated the terms
under which it acquired them.
If it be claimed by the railroad that the
proper tribunal for testing the validity of
the franchise would be the courts, a re-
gard for consistency should compel it to
concede that it IS improper for Congress
to assume jurisdiction over the Pacific
roads funded debt. The cases are very
different, but still sufficiently similar to
cover the enc proposition that if the legis-
lative branch of government is not the
proper one to interfere in the one case 1t is
not in the other. Kentucky may have ex-
press constitutional power to attack the
charter through its Legislature. 1t is as
serted that such authority exists. If so,
that may settle the question with regard
to Kentucky and still leave the argu-
ment good that any attempt by Con-
gress to interfere in the matter of relieving
the Pacific roads of the obligation which
they assumed and deliberately violated
through fraud is ,ndefensible from the
railroads own point of view

THE SENATE PROGRAMME.

According to the Senatorial programme
the silver bill will be disposed of this
week, and it seems a foreeone conclusion
that the vote will be favorable to the
| measure by majority OF at least eight
This will dispose of the bond bill, for
which the silver bill is a substitute, and the
next measure before the Senate will be the
emergency tariff bill. Public interest in
that measure is much greater than any
felt in the bond bill, and it is to be hoped
| that when it is taken up there will be
sufficient support given it to pass it with
out further delay.
The need of reform of the present tar
| iff is indeed urgent. If we cannot have
protective tariff we should at least have
tariff that will yield a revenue sufficient
for the needs of the Government, and it is
now certain the present tariff will not do
that. There was, it is true, small surplus
for the month OF December, but during
| the present month the Government has
again been running behind. The official
report for the first eighteen days of Janu-
airy shows deficit of 81, 285, 306. This may
| possibly be diminished by the receipts Q.
the Is tier part of the month, but it is
more likely to be increased, and the in
crease will in all probability 60 on for the
rest of the fiscal year.
These deficits occurring almost every
month are so clearly the cause of the diff
Guilty OF maintaining the gold reserve that
the country looks to Congress for reform
of the tariff as speedily as possible. Since
the beginning of the present fiscal year the
deficit has already exceeded 500, 600, 900 and
barely six months have passed. AT this
rate we shall have total deficit of about
| $4,000 900 to add to the Democratic in
crease of the National debt when the year
closes next June. Certainly this condition
OF affairs calls for an immediate remedy.
and since the House of Representatives has
so promptly prepared the way by passing
the emergency tariff the Senate should no
| longer delay in acting upon it.
| The Democratic members of the Senate
are mainly to blame for the delay in re-
lieving the needs of the treasury by pass
| ing the revised tariff bill. Senator Sher-
man stated in debate last week that the
Republicans in the Senate were prepared
to vote the relief at once, and the state
ment was not contradicted. The Demo-
Gratis and Populists have combined, how
ever, to block the way. They prefer to
run the country into debt rather than to
| give to our industries even the slight pro-
lection the emergency tariff affords. This
deadlock may be broken by the seating of
the Utah Senators, and if so the country
will Immediately profit by the admission
of that State to the Union.
