fuses the application for a wilt of habeas cor
pus a 1 < ed for by the railroads , mid to that extent -
tent rw.-rts the constitutionality of the law.
lint Ilic decision holds thai the case may bo
brouicht before tlio Untied States supreme
court , \\liich could not boilono it tlio decision
wcro against the .slato. So It may bo said
that the court dodges the real issue and un
loads its biiidun upon the hlchcr court. The
( Miii > lees of the road aru icmandud back to
custody , but It is understood that Iho
railway coin panics will appeal at
once to the United Stales supreme coint and
they nope for an Immediate Inuring on the
constitutional questions Involved. After a
statement ot tlio facts , in which each ot the
petitioner ? ) , employes of the toad , arocliaigod
with vlul.Ulni ; chapter 70 , laxvs ot tlio
Twenly-llrst Kcucral assembly , namely , the
bwcuney law , the court sav.s : "It is insisted
by counsel for the petitioners that said chau-
tor 70 is unconstitutional and void , because ,
flHt , It Is repugnant to section 10 , article 1.
of the constitution of the United States niul
section 'M , artlulo 1 , of tlie constitution of
Iowa , which provides that no law shall bo
passed impaliiii the oblin.Uluu of contracts.

inrnt to the coitbtitiitlon ol the United States
and thercfoto void. . Saiil statute Is
void as an attempt to Interfere
with the jurisdiction of the federal comtsns
established by the constitution of tlio United
States and the acts of conines * . Those sev

iirKiied by counsel and In relation thereto ,
we desire to say that their solution presents
Riavcditllonltlcx as to all the pioposltlnns
lint one. This coin t Is not tlio llnnl arbiter
and tlieieforc1 , lu'lli'vlng as some ot us do ,
that Ills doubtful what construction of the

3ti banking and currency to-day by request
io state Ids views touching the national bankIng -
Ing system. The romptiolter slated to the
xnnmlttco thai ho was not yet tully jircpaied
to suggest a plan for a reorganization of the
lircscnt system , but bellovod that ho would
be able to sueuest a practical plan sometime
: u January next. Meanwhile , ho submitted
for the consideration of the committee the
: lraft of a bill amendatory of the laws relat
ing to national banking. The bill , atlcr pro-
Dosing a number of unimportant changes In
the piesent system , requires llial Iho bonds
required to bo kept on deposit In Iho IrcaS'
nry as a basis tor circulation shall bo Imprest
bearing and when such bonds are called they
must bu replaced within three months aflcr
notice by Interesl-beaiing bonds , anil hi dO'
fault the comptroller Is authorized lo ap
point a receiver to close up the affairs of Hit
bank. In case the bonds deposited to secure
circulation e\cuud the minimum
amount requited by law , the cx >
cess may be placed with other In
tcrcsl-be.ulng bonds or the circulation SO'
cured by the excess shall bo suriiredeicd bj
Iho nssoclntlotilieioujion , the excess shall
bo delivered by the treasurer of the United

ilymption , with Instructions to deposit from
Ihe piocecds with the treasurer lawful money
lo Hut amount of the outstuiidini ; circulation
Deemed by such bonds and hold on account
of the association holding the bonds. Thu
lilll piovldes that boards of directors shall
bo constituted of not less than live members ,
exclusive of the piesldont , aud of cashier , 11
ho boa member of tlio boa id. The seventh
section inal.es It uulawlul for Ihe bank lu
take either in Us own name or that of any
coiporatlon or person tor Its bcne-
lit any moitgagc on leal vstato as
seciuity fur n contempoiancoug
loan or for advances. Hut no association Is
prohibited lioin discounting any bill of ex
change or promissory note not having more
than lour months to lun , although the samu
may bo secured by ical estate , when dis
counted for endorsement In the oidlnaiy
course of business and when the moitguuo of
the lien Is merely collateral. Itelcrrinst to
the surplus luiids tlie bill provides that when
ever the surplus I und ot any bank shall ex
ceed by lit ) iior cent the amount ol its capital
stock the suaieluildcis may lie relieved of In
dividual responsibility and every association
may be relieved of such liability in piopoi-
lion which the suiplus , alter deducting the
" 0 per cent icsei\cd. bears to the whole
amount of capital stuck. Xooxuiuption , bow-
over , can be obtained through and process bv
which any portion of tlio capital stock may
be conveited Into the surplus. In
case the suiplus Is reduced , by loss or other
wise , below the amount required lor exemp
tion , the association is required , after the do-
liclency , to pay the d'-Iiclcncy by aasessment
upon Miaioholuers , and If the deficiency he
not made good , the bank Is to bo placed in
the hands of a receiver. A supplement tc
the bill relating to failed banks provides
that wlieio the assets of any Insolvent asso
ciation lor which a receiver has been ap
pointed , shall be sufllcieutto pay all creditor.--
in lull , the association shall not be deemed tc
be dissolved , but alter delivery to the agent
of the shiuoholders the association shall bv
entitled to risume business , it the share
holders owning two-thirds ot the capital
stock shall have decided to do so. liufort
resuming business , however , the association
Is lequlrpd to icstorc the entire amount of
Its capital stock. Upon the approval of the
eoiiiptrollei , Iho amount of the capital stocK
may bu tcduced before restoiatloii.

Theodore II. Swift
The story of Mr. 1'aino's early dayi
was published In the Times last Fobrn
ary , but recent investigation has brongjr
to light new facts in regard to his habits
The life of the old miser is an iuloretlnj
ono in the contrast its two pharos migh
have presented. Down town in his Itltli
attic on Hlocekor Direct , it was a lite o
ovticmn avarice and miserly hoarding
Up town the man might have freqncnlui
the houses of learned and cultivated Pee
pie ; he was , also , a constant attcntlan' '
upon operas und concerts , his criticism1
nnonwlileh were generally respected
Mr. L'aino's ancestry alone was eiiougl
to give him an entree in aristocratic eir
cle's. Ho was a grandson ot Uobor
Treat Paine , one ol the .signers of tin
Declaration of Independunu'1 ' ; a connec
lion of T'om Paine , the alheistie writer
and his brothc" , Robert Treat Paine , o
lto- > lon , an astronomer of more than In
cal reputation , died only a few month
before this miser did ,
James II. Paine was born , as near a
can bo determined , on Milk street , Bos
ton , in 1810. He received as good ai
education a Massachusetts could giv
him. Though not specially trained will
a view to writing or in art and music
young Paine early in life developed a re
inarkable aptitude for musical cnticisn
and a quick ear for music itbelf.hei
seventeen years old ho began to write ai
tielo on these subjects for the Hostoi
Advertiser and the lloston Globe , whiel
were read because of their eminent merit
Among his writings for the papers wer
also financial articles , \\hich won for Inn
a reputation in that line by their correct
ness and the wisdom of the proposition
laid down. Paine canui to New Yorl
about tlui year It'O. ' ) , and lesided in tlii
citv up to "the time of his death. Jk\t
eighteen years back he occupied tholittl
old attic in lilceckor street. When youiij
the avaricious .spirit that cliaractcri/.ei
his later years was developed , and it in
creased in power rapidly. On coming t <
New York he was immediately reociyi'i
by tlie houses of literary and musicii
inmdics. He wrote criticisms of oper ;
faand coneortD singers and muhicti
works , and it is nndornlood that he was
oorr-jspondent of Uwight's .rournal o
Music , published in Boston. Music am
art were his life ,
During his later yeans Mr. Paine wouli
spend his clays in the old attic. Tli
room was small and almost choked u
with newspapers and maga/.iiiej , . Up I
the last lew years of his life he con
tinned to write for the American Ar
.louriial and other papers. An articl
written for a newspaper within a fe\
weeks of his death will probably be o I
forod in evidence. On rising in tli
morning the nurse would call for hi
pail of water , which his landlord wa
ordered to have ready , with Bcrupulou
care. Ho would then take hi.s batli
After it , without putting on any clothing
lie would ho on his bed with the sun'
rays .streaming over him for two hours
lie was verv partial to his sun bath.
The miser lived ponuriously. but not ii
squalor , and his habits were irreproacli
able as regards cleanliness. His elotliin ,
was very common and plain , hut no
ragged or patched. Invariably ho wor
area handkerchief around hi.s neck. Hi
coat was always buttoned up to bis chin
Shortly before ho died ho was Mill woai
ing the same cloak that , when twenty
four ycarb old , ho had bought in Boston
This cloak hul ; been the old man'b while
apparel year after year. He wore n
blockings or drawers. He said woole ,
gave him salt rheum. After putting o ;
the old cloak which came to ho so wcl
known to his friends ho would go out Jo
liis meals. At night the old miser woul
start up to visit the opera orothorimii.icn
entertainment * ) . At the academy o
music ho was almost alwav.s to bo foun <
when any new or famous piece was o
the boards , 11 no music was to bo hoar
he would paj a visit to the homo of hoin
ono with tastes like idsown. The mum ;
of thcso persons'will bo a. surprise whe
they : uo presented in the court procooi

Rut Mr. Paine did not change his .liv.-
to go UP town. The same old cloak kc |
oiit tlio cold , and if the rod handkoroldi
had boon turned aside a llannol sliii
would have boon diaolo-siid.and no iiolhu
Onon when going to an extra event ill
private residence some friunda induce
