The much despised Allen law of ILL
nois is booked for repeal. An act re.
pealing the law has passed the house of
that state and the prospect for it's pass
ing the senate are good. The opposition
to the matter arises from the fact that it
provides for granting long franchises to
city railways. Mr.. Allen, author of the
bill, was the only member of the house
who voted against its repeal.

PROBABLY half a million dollars has
been sent out of the state during the
past fifteen years for printing and blank
books that ought to have remained in
the state. Four years ago a law was
enacted that all state and county print
ing should be done by established print
ing houses in tho state, but the penalty
clause was omitted, and in some in
stances, therefore. the law has not been
observed. The bill passed by the house
and recommended to pass in the senate,
simply attaches a penalty for failure on
the part of public officials to comply with
the ANYWHERE practicable all county
printing is to be done in the county or.
dering it. No measure before the legis-
lature, affecting the publishers of the
state, will be so welcome as this one
and it is surprising that there should
have been a vote against it.

Didn't Fish ON sunday.

The late Rev. Alyron w. Reed was fond
of gun and rod and always took his sum-
mer vacations in the woods. During one
of these summer %sojourns in the woods the
actor Joe Murphy and Mr.. Reed met.
They became chums within three days. On
Sunday Murphy was getting out his fish
ing tackle to try for trout. It was a beau
tiful day for fly fishing. Mr.. Reed looked
on and made no sign.
"Why don't you get out your tackles'
asked tho actor. "We'll never have q bet.
ter day than this"
"Oh," was the answer, IT thought
would go to church today"
Not caring to fish alone, Murphy went
with him. After a long walk through the
woods they came to a little church in 9
clearing, and, to Murphy's amazement, hii
companion, whom he had not suspected tt
be q clergyman, stepped into the pulpit
and preached the sermon.-New Yorl

phone. The board assembled in its
office and Mr.. Marion proceeded to
make a speech, which was entirely
fresh, so far as the commissioners were
concerned, if not refreshing. He went
into elaborate details as to the past
history of the road and its present
financial and physical condition. He
asserted that York county's stock had
no value, and was not likely to have
any. He pointed out that the only
hope of the road is to change it into a
standard gauge and extend it into Ten
nessee, thus securing an opening to
the coal fields of the northwest. He
pointed ont that present taxable value
of the road was $2,7OO per mile, and
that by the development indicated this
valuation would be greatly increased
and thus accrue to the interest of the
county. He said that he did not rep.
resent the Southern Railroad, the Sea-
board Air Line or any other road hav-
ing competing line in this state, but
a system that already owns great deal
of railroad property in the west and
south. He said that he was unable to
state positively the intention of his
people, or to make any promises along
that line, but knew to moral certain
ty that his principals had plenty of
money, and believed it was their in
tention in case they got possession OF
the Carolina and Northwestern Railroad
to develop it into a main line of great
system. He said that his firm had
been assured by their clients that in
case of the purchase Of the stock of the
narrow gauge it would be completed
across the mountains.

Although everybody knew that Sena-
tor Kean, of New Jersey, was a railroad
and corporation lawyer, and therefore
naturally inclined to favor trusts of all
sorts, he surprised many by publicly
declaring, while he was in Washington
a day or two ago, that the people of
New Jersey would not support any par
ty that condemned trusts, because the
trusts organized under state laws paid
so much money into their treasury.
Surely it is time to do some hard think
ing when senator publicly states his
belief that his state has been bought by
trusts; to be exact, Mr.. McKean' e
words were: "The annual revenue
from the tax on the capital of all cor
porations created under our laws now
amounts to between $500, 900 and $780,,
600. You can readily see that the peo'
pie who are benefited from this influx
of wealth are not apt to be antagonis
tic to the corporations that contribute
it."
