Bo ng satisfied that he was at the right ilace , proceeded to got out and devour the nearest old can and othei lellcacles left in the alley by the goat ess populace. The car had been en the road thirty days , and the only sub sistence of the1 goat during that time was the ends of studding and ship ap , of which' ' he had1 devoured a few inndred feet.

Exacting nn unreasonable and excessive passenger rate Is nbou the only wrong they could have done which they have not been widely am clamorously charged with doing. O those who have brought about a two cent faro law In various states , many were politicians hurt in a tender spo by the abolition of passes ; many more were demagogues to whom a popnln passion Is capital ; the ones who must bo credited with sincerity c.nn hardly have had any motive more Intelligent * than the principle that a lick against the rallroadn is never amiss. It is true this statute will not bo hurtful to the railroads in proportion to their uproar , for the economic law of in creased consumption following a drop in price must Imvo Its effect ; but this argument cut no figure In the dobates. It wns vindictive legislation , not found ed on any Intelligent adaptation of statutory remedy for corporation wrong. In just twelve legislatures this law was passed ; of the twelve governors to whom it came for signature , but ono had the courage to veto it. Governor Hughes had already Initiated and forced through nn un willing legislature a "public utilities" bill which accomplishes with intelli gence nnd reason far more curing of railroad wrongs than the two-cent faro bill. Whatever place Governor Hughes has had in the consideration of pres idential possibilities must bo made larger by the courage and evenhanded ed Justice of this veto ; and the prin ciple expressed In this passage from his veto message : "In dealing with these matters , democracy must demon strate its capacity to act upon delibe ration aud to deal Justly.
