Trouble. of the C. & S. e.

A considerable proportion, comparatively
speaking. of the rolling stock of the Chi
cago & Southeastern Railway, says the
Brazil correspondent of the Chicago Times
Herald, was chained to the track at Brazil
on Monday while the town marshal. a
constable. general manager and several
persons of lesser Importance held pow
wow The powwow was to settle whether
the half dozen rusty fiat cars from Sand
Creek or Shutdown should remain chained
to the track to block traffic which might
at some future date reward the efforts
of President III. Crawford or whether the
city officials should at once receive the sum
of $500 due for taxes. The citizens of Brazil
were out in force TO see the fun, and they
were interested, for the fiat cars, with a
caboose OF doubtful red hue, and wheezy
engine constituted the first train that has
tested the fifty-six-pound rails of the COM
pany for more than a year. 1t was not
an imposing train, but the engineer and
his fireman were proud of it, and when
Constable Vance tagged IL at the crossing
they began to feel like real railroad men,.
The fat cars came to a standstill with A
humping jump, and the constable presented
his claim.
81 don't happen to have $500 with me-"
said the engineer, but if you will let me
run up the line bit I'll try TO raise it. .
For reply the constable threw a logging
chain around the axle of the forward fla I
car. took a half-hitch around the end of
the tie apd said: That's me mark. There
ii stays, and there your bloomin' train
stays until the treasury of the municipality
Of Brazil Is replenished to the tune of
four hundred sinners"
The engineer knew his engine and he
knew the log chain would hold, he re-
sorted TO diplomacy. In the end the con-
stable relented and permitted the caboose
and the engine to depart shrieking on to-
ward Shawnee, Uncas. Pawnee and other
cosmopolitan gatherings which are along
the line of the road. In the meantime
the general manager, who was rejoicing
at his desk I'm Muncie over the opening of
traffic and composing essay on pros
perity, heard of the terrible news. He
knew that taxes, like tides, wait for no
man. and that IT would not do to remain
long tied or rather chained un. BY some
herculean feat of financiering the matter
was settled. Constable Vance removed the
chain, and waiting traffic from Anderson
on down through Browns Valley, Penob-
scot, Shutdown and Cardonia to Brazil
was released from the threatened thraldom
OF another bankruptcy proceeding.

SUIT ON A POLICY.
The Case Contains Some Peculiar
Features.


The suit of Addie l.. Tibbits against. the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company
for the collection of a 5000 policy that
began before Judge feathers, of the Su-
rerior Court, yesterday. was continued un-
til this morning, awaiting the decision of
a technical question. John Tibbits, Mrs.
Tibbts's husband. had, policy in the COM
pany for 5000. He was found dead on the
railroad track at Marion one morning and
the company refused to pay the amount
OF the policy on the ground that his dues
had lapsed.
Tibbits had paid for one quarter and the
next assessment became due on July Is.
Aug. 10 he was found dead and the dues
for the quarter covering that period were
unpaid The plaintiff attempts to show
that one of the company's agents granted
an extension of the time to Tibbits in
which TO pay his dues. This evidence was
or peculiar nature. 1t was stated that
the death of Tibbits, about his policy. The
agent had a receipt already made out for
the payment of the dues, and from the
conversat ton that took place between the
agent and the third person. IL Is contended
that he inferred an extension of time had
been granted. When this evidence was in
troduced the defense entered IN objection
and Judge feathers indicated that he
would rule the evidence out As the en-
this evidence, the judge consented to take
IL under advisement until this morning.
The ruling indicated by the judge is that
The admission of an agent IL not binding
upon company. The point is that the adj
mission was not made to Tibbits.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
Please to allow me space to express my
dissent from your highly commendatory
notice of ex-Secretary Carlsle's great ar
gument before the Supreme Court in the
Porto Rico case. Let me present the facts
involved in the case, as they appear to me.
very briefly.
First-The Constitution OF the United
States is a grant of powers from the peo-
pie of the Union TO those who make and
execute their laws.
Second-Congress acts in two capacities
Gar il legislates for the States of the Union
under prescribed constitutional limitations,
and OBJ it legislates for the Territories and
other property belonging to the United
States without prescribed constitutional
limitations.
by Congress acting under constitutional
limitations and for the States only as to
its extension and uniform in its operation.
Fourth-The Porto Riean tariff was made
by Congress acting in its second capacity.
viz, of legisating for a Territory or de-
tendency and without prescribed constitu-
tional limitations.
Fifth-It was lawfully made because
Porto Rico is a dependency or property of
the United States. entirely under its
sovereignty and governed by Congress
without prescribed constitutional limita-
lions
SiAtH-I oieo rhco IL not foreign cum
try in the sense of being alien, yet IL is
outside of the region over which the Ding
ley law. with its required uniformity, ex-
tends, and therefore its products coming
into the United States are imports and
may, If Congress so wills, be lawfully
taxed.
Seventh-Products going from the States
into Porto Rico are not exports In the
sense of that term as used in the Consti-
tuition, inasmuch as they do not go 10 an
alien country under different sovereignty,
but from one part OF our domain TO an
other-from tariff region to another
with different rate of duty-and may be
taxed as imports into Porto Rico as they
now are when Congress in its efforts &c
harmonic and promote the highest inter
ests OF all parts of the country may deem
1t necessary. n. S. KRITZ
