WILDER WANTS A SAILOR.

Artist James wilder wants a sailor

natural death, and with them the notions of government which brought them into existence.
 Mr. eJfferson was opposed to sumptuary laws, and held that they are. best gov efned who are least governed"
 MT. Herbert Spencer, in his book en- titled Social Statistics" has amplified the Jeffersonian idea and reduces the problem of government almost to a sim gle principle-that the sole function of government should be to protect each man in the state from the interference of his fellows, and leave each to work out his own destiny-the competitive system, pure and simple, and calling for few laws. Such seems to have been the idea of the founders of the government, but gradually under that never to be defined legal hybrid known as the police power, we are weaving a network of legal com plications, and under the guise of 'an ex- ception to the rule'' 1t is devouring prin- ciple, weakening precedent, and putting judicial caprice in the ascendant.
 The man in the White House has much to his credit, but he Is neither a states man nor a jurist, and he recommends the creation of commissions and government by bureau and arbiters outside of the courts, and we are threatened with a government by commissions, exercising that unknown power, the police power.
 The multiplying of sumptuary laws as they are called, require an army or po- lice and deputies to enforce them, and unless they are men of the most incor- ruptible character, graft will follow, and immunity from the law sold as an indul- gence. Society will be worse afflicted under the fee system as compensation to officers, than with the evils attempted to

il. determining the question of confsca- ton vel non. It seems that all of this far-reaching legislation was had in the absence of any evidence as to the effect it would produce No committee charged with finding the facts was ap- pointed to inform the governor and the legislature.
 It seems to have been the idea that if the railroads could live in Georgia, under the reduced rate, that they could do so in Alabama, but no account was taken of the fact that Georgia is much more populous than Alabama, and the tonnage available to the roads much greater, and bearing a higher rate, r. based on value. Pig iron, limestone rock, coke and iron ore, give Alabama q large tonnage, but it would not be fair to place the same rate on fine manufactures as on raw material Geor- eia rates furnish little light on the subject.
 With these questions pending in the United States court. with the right of direct appeal to the supreme court of the United States, it was intemperata and dramatic on the part of the gov crnor to reconvene the legislature ard re-enact the same laws, in principle and repeal the statute up for construc- ton by the court. If the governor and legislature were in a bad humor toward the railroads, it seems that the rail- road officials were, in turn, in bad humor with the governor and the leg islature, and not with out cause, for they were to be punished with more stringent laws for daring to appeal to

It will be battle between spies and blind tiger men. The spirit of reform is commend able but carried to extremes 1t may De- come bigotry, and fanateisn1.
 Obeying teh same tidal wave, and re- cent legislation in Alabama attempting to regulate railroads was enacted.
 Nothing is clearer than that railroads should be regulated and their abuses corrected, where they exist, but II IS equally clear to all lovers or Justlce that not one cent of theirs should be conhs- cated, or their management embarrassed bv laws enacted in the absence of evi- denee as to whether those laws were confscatory or not.
 If is conceded that if a railroad is by law regulated to q rate, whether frelght or passenger, which prevents the road from earning for its stockholders req sonable per cent upon the capital invested, that 1t would be conhscation, and confls- cation by the state of the eltlzeh prop. erty Is contrary of "the law of the land, and a blow at the foundation of all mo- tions of property and security, and would not be more respectable than other forms of footing To determine whether these enactments were confiscatofy or not IL would have been necessary for the goVer- nor and the legislature to have gathered at great expense and labor all of the data involved in railroad cost per mile, its equipment and expense of operating, and in the absence of such vast detail 1t would seem that politicians were willing to experiment in enacting these laws. The principle involved being identical

with an old story in regard to the iden- tity of certain pill, In which the suffer- ing man was told to swallow the pill and if it was the right pill it would not hurt him; if 1t was the wrong one it would kill him.
 President Smith of the Louisville and Nashville railroad applied to the courts insisting that the laws were confiscatory that his road could not live and pay a reasonable dividend to the owners In this he only appealed to ''the law of the land" in all that that phrase means to lawyers.
 It Is granted that there has been an abuses of the useful writ Of injunction which should not issue upon mere allega- ton, but he supported when applied Tor by proofs making prima faeie case, and notice. and when in restraint of state of ficers the stronger such proof should De, and the presumption in favor of the law fulness of the acts of state officers, over come by abundant proof
 However that may have been, Judge Jones issued the writ, and the case then stands for trial on the merits, which merits would involve the same details, and data, as to cost of construc- tfon, equipment, and operating expense of a great railroad apd-its numerous spurs and branches, ard upon all this the estimate made as to whether or not the railroad could live and pay req : sonable dividends on the investment, and if it could not, then tho rate would be confiscation, and confiscation ap- peals to the sense of justice of every English speaking lawyer.
 All of these details, in evidence, would tax the court to the last degree

 The jurisdiction of these courts, where there is a diversity of citizenshipa.- !, one party a non-resident-was wisely de- vised by "the fathers in order that the stranger, or nonresident, should not be the victim of local passion, even though that passion and prejudice should be held by the governor and representatives of a state. It is automatic that man should not sit as judge in his own case, and it is also true as a canon of consti- tutional law
 The railroads are doubtless a part of the organized wealth of the country, and it is doubtful if any country has sue ceeded wholly in controlling this power. That they must and will be, regulated in reasonable degree, either by state or fed- eral law, is certain, and 1t may be as to this class of corporations government ownership would be the only way to man. age them internally, but certainly while they are yet in the hands of their own CTS politicians should not attempt to reg ulate details and internal management too far lest the roads suffer, and both private and public injury be done. s
 It has been urged that the restraining Of state officers in the execution of a state law, by the writ of injunction from q federal court. was in effect suing state, and therefore violating the eleventh amendment to the constitution of the uni- ted States.

"HERE is an ebb and flow in the
 affairs of men, likewise in the men,

 We have many mere politicians in pub lie office-vigorous withal, and fine types, only they are not trained and fitted for scientific government, and government and statute making is a science. Great Bri- tam has the advantage of us, perhaps, in having more scientific statesmen.
 They have tried almost everything, and fought to have learned something, and besides, their former statesmen were edu- fcated along the lines they were to follow, aud were often learned, profound, philoso- phical and versed in political and ecoom1c history.
 They had laws regulating almost every lthing, including what man should ear land drink the cut of his waistcoat and line number of courses on his table, the natter being an economic idea. that men lshould live according to their means.

 T HE question. will England retain
 India, is primarily an academic
 4 one It is not practical one to any body, except to perhaps a few millions of people in India itself. But in India, outside of these radical pat riots, the question belongs rather to the realm of philosophic discussion than to the power of practical politics.
 Apparently no opponent can arise from without to expel England. 1T an opponent were to arise, he would come from either the north or the east. Bur Russia has for a long time, it would now seem sufficient internal problems to consume her strength. China, too, is concerned with her own developments and that development must progress with more swiftness than 1t has for even the last revolutionary decade to create power enough to attach the em- pire of India.

No native soldier is today enrolled in the artillery. A relatively larger force of English and smaller of Indian troops would meet him. He would find the rail- road and the telegraph coming to the aid of his foe as it did not in Delhi and Agra and Lucknow in the deadly marches of that dreadful summer of '57. No The outlook for the military triumph of a great native leader is indeed slight India would be quite unable as either Rus sia or China for expelling England.
 The conclusion is, therefore, inevitable that England can stay in India just as long as she wants to- England moreover, apparently wants to stay The English- man measures many values by their place In the budget. India pays her own bills. Indian taxes are sufficient to meet the cost of the English government of India. But. more, India represents the empire. The retirement of England would to many mean imperial disntegration. India Is also a proper field for work for thousands and tens of thousands of Englishmen who could not find in little England" so fit opportunity for career. Akin to the fact is to be noted that though trade does not necessarily follow the flag, yet the Eng

 The peril of an expulsive force aris- ing within India itself is not so slight as the danger of an external foe; but this peril is still slight. The three hundred millions of India's population are divided between about four-fifth 5 Hindu and one-fifth Mohammedan. These two peoples are enemies In the recent discontent it was whispered that, after the Hindus had driven our the English. they would turn out tho Mohammedans. What one hates the other likes, what one likes the other hates. In this recent discomfort the followers of the prophet were found on the side of the government. The dis proportion in force between these two great bodies is by no means as great as the disproportion in numbers. l. has been said that the sixty millions of Mohammedans could drive the two hun dred millions of Hindus into the Bay of Bengal.

 To sum up. therefore, England will re- tain India. No power without or within can expel her She desires to keep h. da. It Is best for India and 1t is best for the world, that England do retain her.
