country.

1t is a rural village historically interesting,
beautiful in situation and in design, and en-
riched with social and intellectual culture 1t
is traversed by one of the best railroads in
America The railroad station is q handsome
stone ediice, surrounded by well kept ex-
panse of lawns and flower beds The slopes OF
the railroad cutting terraced and covered
with a fine growth Of lawn grass. Everything
about the place is instinct with taste and
beauty.
Everything, that IS save one. On the crest
Of the terraced and sodded wall of the railroad
cutting. directly opposite the station, the
ground kept by the railroad in such parklike
perfection, is a strange structure 1t is a fence
perhaps dozen yards long and two yards high
Supported by posts rising above It is orna-
mental roof, designed like that of a Swiss
chalet as long as the fence and perhaps yard
wide; evidently intended to protect the fence
in a measure from rain. But the fence itself
is the thing. 1t is composed of a series of a
dozen poster boards, on each of which is con-
tinually displayed an advertising poster of
some patent food, or patent medicine to coun-
teract the I'll effects OF the food or patent coffin
in which to bury the victim of both food and
incidence all printed in the crudest and most
glaring style The thing, in such place is as
offensive to the eye as daub of dirt on the
face Of a beautiful woman
The concerns that thus advertise their wares
show a strange contempt for the susceptbilities
of their patrons. The railroad company that
thus disfgures its ground and defaces the land
scape commits an outrage upon good breeding
and good taste and insults the whole travelling
public. The citizens who permit the main
tenance Of such thing within the borders of
their village display extraordinary tolerance
We have in mind one particular village But
there are many such

FEDERAL POWER SUPREME.

Doubtless the State courts of both Virginia
and New-Jersey. after they have had chahce
to review the points at issue, will ABANDON then
attempts to interfere with the united States
Government Probably neither OF the courts
stopped 10 consider that the diminished cruls-
ere in the shipyards were any dHereht Iroln
ordinary property against which lien might
he filed. As a matter of fact, however they
are alternating to restrain the sovereign. That'
of course, cannot be permitted IL ntate courts
can on any plea enjoin the operations OF lne
federal government as an incident TO private
controversy there can be no certainty OF lhe
power of the United States to protect ltsen III
an emergency. If a Virginia or Ne"-'efsey
fudge can levy on an unfinished war VesSel III
fine Of peace il can do so in time OF war. Pub
lie interest and safety require the recognition
of the entire freedom Of the national govern
mont to nerform its functions unhampered by
attempts of any State TO exercise conflicting au-
thority.
II there are any private rights invaded by the
action OF the Navy Department the United
State courts are open to the aggrieved persons.
The law provides way for the settlement or
any private claims against property In which
the sovereign is interested, and all creditors or
the shipbuilders whose material has been put
in the uncompleted ships must proceed under
the federal law to obtain redress. 1t is some
what astonishing that at this late day a State
court should even inadvertently assume lndl-
rectly to enjoin the United States Government
through its military officers acting under au-
thority. Such a thing might have been expected
TO happen about 1850. Even then it was pretty
well established that a federal officer could not
be interfered with by any process OF State
courts, even though he was acting wrongfuly
and exceeding his authority under federal law
Some State courts tried to do this for the pro-
lection of persons who were Illegally seized
under the Fugitive Slave law, but even anti
slavery men like Justice Mclean upheld the eX-
elusive Jurisdiction of the federal courts. Those
courts might wrongfully deprive citizen OF a
State OF liberty. but he could only look for the
righting of his wrongs to federal authority
Since that time the supremacy OF the United
States in ell affairs relating to itself has been
more firmly settled.
The self-restraint' of the administration at
Washington in dealing with the matter is COM
mendable. The controversy must arise from
failure Of the State judges to realize the full
significance of their acts and Attorney General
Knox tactfuIly declines to discuss display or
force Unquestionably the United States would
be entitled to take forcble possession Of its I'M
finished vessels IL such a course were neceS-
sary, but it may be safely assumed that when
the attitude of the federal government is I'M
derstood and the issue clearly defined there
viii be no disposition anywhere to question its
paramount power put obstacles in the way
Of its operations for the defence Of the whole
country

PARTY DOINGS IN GERMANY.

A new election viii be required not only TO
complete the German Reichstag, but even 10
determine the relative strengths of the parties
and 10 indicate what combinations must be
made to form a majority. The first balloung
on Tuesday last resulted in the election Of only
2o5 members and there are 397 in the full
Reichstag. Therefore 1872. or nearly one-half,
are still TO be chosen in the second balloting.
in the election Of so large proportion of the
Reiehstag almost anything may happen.
1t is to be observed that the Clericals. or Cen
tire party, elected 81 members and will vote
again for SO more Should they elect all the
sc they would have 123. but there is little like
lihood of that Should they be successful in
just half OF the second baIlots-which is a rea
sonable supposition-they would have ,1O5, or
exactly as many as In the last Reichstag. The
Socialists have elected 81, and will vote again
for ID more. There is, CT course, no possibility
OF their electing all these Should they elect
half Of them they would have lis, or more than
any other party is likely TO have. But it is
doubtful whether they viii elect half of them,
for the reason that on the second ballots prac-
ideally all the other parties will unite against
them. If they elect only one-third they will
have 60 or more than any other party can
have except the Ciericals.
The Conservative triad, comprising Conserva-
tives Free Conservatives and Agrarians, have
Jared Ill. They have elected only 81 members
and are 10 vote on second ballot for only 50
more II they should be successful In all the
second ballots, then they would have only 80
There is no hope OF their doing SO, however. If
they elect one-half they will have Ga In the
last Reichstag they had ~ and ii may be that
they will again reach that number. As for the
National Liberals. who were the chief support
of Bismarck, they have elected only mem
bers But they will contest 60 second ballots,
and may win half of them. That would give
them only IS, against 81 in the last Reichstag
Worst OF all have Jared the three Radical par
ties, not one Of them having elected a single
member. The Radical Left, led by Herr Rich
Ter, will contest "A second ballots and even II

STANDARDS OF SOBRIETY

There is trouble for tipplers in Boston. The
new chairman of the Metropolitan Police Com
mission has established new standards of So

Henceforth it will not be necessary, In order
to get run in," for Bostonian to become ag-
gressiyely and conspicuously drunk and dis
orderly" Serpentine ambulation and alcoholic
exhalements-to express it Boston wise-wiII do
the trick just as well. 1t is obligatory upon the
police 10 arrest every man who cannot walk
straight and whose breath is favored with in
toxicants. Wherefore there is wild demand
for coffee beans and lovage root, and also for
CABS and carriages: despite which the number
OF arrests advances by leaps and bounds, and
there Is much demand for enlarged accommo-
cations in the police stations and city prison.
Ii VIII doubtless be urged by some that this
is going too far il the direction of old style
Pur1tanism. a man should be as free to perfume
his breath with distillation of rye grains as
10 perfume his pocket handkerchief with dis
ullaton or rose leaves Moreover. there are
various bona fide medicines which leave dis
tinct alcoholic trace upon the breath. Again.

Some elaboration is wise. The civil engineers
have more occasion for hesitation thah any %

should be anything like a premature decision
