Pullman Lawsuit Ended.

The long standing litigation between
the Pullman Palace Car Company and
the Central Transportation Company,
growing out of the lease by the former of
the cars and other property then operat-
ed by the Central Transportation Com.
pany over the Pennsylvania lines in the
East, was the occasion for an opinion
delivered in the Supreme Court May 81.
The Pullman Company from 1870 to
1885 paid the Central So, 900, 900 rental,
and then claimed reduction Of the rem
tai. The Central sued to recover the in
stallments of rental accruing. Upon
trial the lease was held to be illegal, ultra
wires the character of the Central Com.
pany. Suits and cross suits were prose-
cuted by the parties, under one of which,
in the Eastern district of Pennsylvania,
it was adjudged that the Pullman Com
pany was indebted to the Central Com
pany in the sum of $4,535,0 for the
value and use of the property turned
over to it.
This judgement was brought to the
Supreme Court for review, with the re-
suit as announced by Justice Peckham
that it was modified so as to fix the lab
ility of the Pullman Company at 1921
$40, with interest from Jan. 1, 1885.

A War of Conquest.

The San Francisco Argonaut, the
leading weekly on the Pacific coast,
has no sympathy for those who be-
lieve this is a war of philanthropy
aud reminds its readers that war is
hell" and will not be fought with
rose water and hymns, but with bull
lets and mems bodies. AS it presents
a view of the case that is held by
many men throughout the coun-
try we give some extracts from their
editorials of recent issue.
Let us tell the truth. Let us cast aside
hypocrisy. This war is war Of revenge.
1t is war to avenge the death of the
slaughtered sailors of the NJ aine. 1t is
war to punish Spain. And it is war OF
conquest.
1t is useless for yellow editors owning
Cuban bonds to say that this is war
to free Cuba; the peoples answer is
Remember the Maine" 1t is useless
for clergymen to serrnonize on the holy
nature of this war, and to say it is a
"war for philanthropy; the answer is
Remember the Maine" 1t is useless for
those worthy people who wish to deceive
both themselves and others to say that
after the war is ended everything will be
as before; the answer is Remember the
Maine" The American people have been
stirred as they have not been stirred since
1861. There has come upon them a
fierce desire for revenge upon Spain, and
the sentimentalists who try to maintain
that this is philanthropic war, and the
Cuban bond-holding editors who are try
ing to make it war to free Cuba"
will be blown aside before this popular
outburst like chaff before the wind.
Let us stop babbling Snug hypocrisy
and telling smooth lies. This is war
for revenge; it is war for punishment;
it is war for conquest. 1t is our belief
that it will be bloody and savage war.
The history of all SPANS wars has been
that they were prolonged guerilla war
fares. 1t is the nature OF the Spanish to
avoid pitched battles. 1t is also their
nature to fight long defensive wars. They
are crafty and trsacherous foe. AS yet
they have done us little harm; but when
| they can Inf1ict upon us coward thrust
they will do so. 1t will need only a few
murders of prisoners of war by the Span
iards to arouse demand for reprisals
on the part of our troops. Then weshall
have war with all its horrors-a war be-
tween two races that are hostile. Even
in our civil war-a war which was
waged between brothers-a war which
was waged by the most civilized people
of the most civilized race in the world
things took place in the heat of the con-
fict over which Americans still blush.
We were about to recall them, but we
cancel the written lines. II such horrible
things could take place in a civil war be-
tween Anglo. Saxons, what may not take
place in war with Spaniards-the most
cruel, treacherous, and blood-thirsty race
OF Europeans.

Medical Discovery is a remarkable remedy
for hard working men and women. In
certain sense, it is cure-all, for the reason
that it goes down to bedrock and cures the
disorders that are responsible for the ma
jority of serious illnesses. 1t strengthens
the stomach, and makes the appetite keen
and hearty. 1t invigorates the liver. 1t
aids the natural processes of secretion and
excretion. 1t makes the assimilation of
the food perfect 1t purihes the blood
that build new and healthy flesh tissue. 1t
tones the nerves. 1t is the great blood
maker and Hesh-builder. It cures 90 per
cent. of all cases of laryngial, bronchial,
throat and kindred affections, which, if
neglected, lead up to consumption. 1t is
also an unfailing remedy for all nervous
disorders. An honest dealer will not urge
a substitute.

You gain fine view of the country from

view of the Potomac river passing
through gorge in the Blue Ridge noun
tains on one side and on the other the
Shenandoah river enters the Potomac
but does not seem to merge its waters
with the main stream. The scenery is
wild, rugged and picturesque. The curve
in the river is vision OF beauty long to
be remembered. The broad, shallow Po-
tomac dashes along over it's rocky bed
on one side and the Canal follows the
stream; while the Baltimore & Ohio r.
r., at an enormous expense, have exca-
waited roadbed for the track to main
tain their own right Of way to the exclu-
sion of other roads. There does not

that here was where he composed the
Declaration of Independence, but there is
no authority to prove it, but he declared
that the view was grand enough for any
one to cross the ocean to enjoy it. 1t
certainly is a beautiful scene and awe
inspiring, but we could scarcely realize
that we conld see three states at glance,
and three counties. We stood on Jeffer-
son Rock in Harper's Ferry in Jefferson

ence OF the Potomac and Shenandoah

The movement started several
months ago having as its object the
enactment Of a law prohibiting the
use of the design OF the flag for adj
vertising purposes has received much
encouragement during the past few
weeks. Public sentiment is more
awake to the subject than formerly,
and the bill now before congress,
which has been pigeon-holed for sew
eral months, will be generally sup
ported by the press of the country.
1t does not favorably impress the
average citizen to see the national
emblem, which is leading our forces
to victory, used to proclaim the
merit of somebody's soap, saleratus

commercial enterprise, and this

Our whole sympathy in this war
is with the Union. There is hardly a
family in Austria or Germany which
has not some dear relatives or
friends on the other side of the water.
many of whom are now preparing to
shed their blood for the cause of their
adopted country! Considered from
a commercial standpoint, we should
be careful not to antagonize the
United States, especially at the pres
emit time, when our export trade is at
such low ebb.
The North American republic is a
warning for all rulers and govern
ments who are now steering into the
channels of abso]utism. Without
the Union civic liberty in Europe
would have been an impossibility
We therefore make no mistake in

friends of liberty are with the United

Some Good Anecdotes.

Why is the cold, phlegmatic and con-
sentative Proctor of Vermont so eager
for war? asked somebody of Tom Reed.
Probably because he is a wholesale
dealer in tombstones,' was the instant
said: II suppose, then, that Reed is OPP
posed to war because he is adjuster for
several large life insurance companies"
Recently Speaker Reed wished to see
man on some pending legislation, and
telegraphed for him to come to Washing
ton. The man took the first train avail
able, but washout IN the road made it
impossible for the train to proceed.
Going to telegraph Office he sent this
dispatch to the speaker:
"Washout on the line. Can't come"
Reed sent back this reply:
BUY new shirt and come anyway"
A great corporation desired legal
opinion on matter involving millions
of dollars, for upon it practically depend
ed the corporations very existence.
They decided to refer the question, which
was wholly one OF the correct interpret
alton oflaw, to William M. Evarts, and
to be guided wholly by his opinion.
Their lawyer stated their case to the
senator, and asked him the important
question. Evart's reputation and sue
cess are wholly due not as cross exam
liner or conductor of cases, but simply to
his remarkable knowledge OF law and his
power, which seems almost like intuition,
of determining just how the supreme
court will decide any question of law.
When the attorney Tor the great cor
poration put his question, so vitality i'm
portant to that corporations existence,
Evarts sat buried IN thought for a
moment, and then answered in one word,
'Yes." His bill for that one word was
$250,000, and the corporation paid it
without a murmur. Evarts' answer
proved to he correct.
Little Prince Alexander, the eldest son

A Famous Executive Cow.

Wisconsin is "all torn up" because OF
Gov. Schofeld's COW. The Governor We.
toed tax bill fired at express companies
and was therefore charged with being a
corporation man." Then it was said
that his cow was dead-headed by express
from his home to furnish milk at the ex-
ecutive mansion in Madison, and prodig-
ious uproar followed. The Governor
produced receipt to show that he paid
carriage on the beast, but it was init
mated that the receipt was issued only
alter the charge was made and that it
was in fact dummy and fraud. And
there is tremendous political battle in
progress upon the issue presented.
How it will end nobody knows, but
during the war the COW sets an excellent
example by moving away grass and
chewing her cud.-[Rutland Herald.

To further verify this statement Mr..

before Robert E. Hull, IT,, Notary Public.

tury has been marked by some Of the
most important discoveries In the history
Of the world. None have done more to
