The project for building a new IA

has been at the point Of execution for
fourteen years, is receiving so much
opposition that 1t is not impossible
that 1t may be abandoned. The old

The state OF health OF one OF our two
surviving ex-Presidents was the sub
feet of numerous newspaper para
graphs a few weeks ago. Neither OF
the two has yet reached the average
number OF years attained by ex-Presi-
dents from Washington to Arthur.

the presidency was longer than that of
Polk or of Arthur, for in the June fol-
lowing the close OF his chief magis-
tracy Polk was dead, and Arthur sur
vived his retirement less than two
years. John Adams lived twenty-five
years as ex-President, and his son,

Law and denial Of the equal protection
OF the laws, and Is. therefore, uncon-
stitutional and void under the four

ton" The railroads have furnished

more the shipper is carried free both
