FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29,1871.
An Important Law.
An exchange takes issue with "Illinois when she grants damage to wives from saloonists, who sell their husbands liquor when they know them to be intemperate." In this matter, we insist that Illinois is correct. Let such laws be passed in every State of this Union as shall make liquor dealers responsible for the sale of intoxicating beverages to those whom they know will drink to excess, more especially so when the applicants are already in a state of semi-intox-ication and there will be less family disturbances, not only, but there will not be 80 many
crimes committed against
moral
and municipal law. It is a melancholy fact that nearly all the fatal tragedies and disturbances of the peace and quiet of cities and communities throughout the country, are directly or indirectly the result of the sale and use of intoxicating liquors. Certainly, there are but few, even of those who deal in the article, but will admit as a fact, that wives and families are beggared and reduced to poverty and want because liquor dealers sell to their husbands that which not only takes their money, but gives in return for it that which takes away their brains and selfcontrol. The husband, it may be at night, goes home fromadramsliop to the wife he has sworn to support and protect through life, minus the earnings of the day. But is that all? No. His brain is wild from the effect of the potations which he purchased with the funds he should have used in support of that wife and instead of kind words, he abuses her. It may be that she suffers in body as well as mind from his aets while under the influence of the demon. This being the ease, it is certainly her moral right to claim damages from the one who sold her husband the
liquor
for
which,caused him
to be guilty of these acts. If it is morally right it should be right under the law, or our law is at fault, for all laws of church or State which are not founded on moral law are wrong. Therefore, we insist that Illinois is right, and we hope Indiana will pass a similar law.
A World of Railroads.
The age in which it is the good fortune of the present generation to live is indeed one of progress.
In the matter of railroad facilities is this particularly the case, as will be seen by the following statistics compiled by the New York Post, which says that "a careful computation shows that there are now 12-1,115 miles of railroads in the world at the close of 18G9 there were 118,559 miles. Of the increase, 5,556 miles, about one half, or 2,746 miles, were in the United States, while in the previous year we had built 5,000 miles of new road. At the present moment the lines actually built in this country greatly exceed 50,000 miles in length. This, it will be seen, is about four-fifths of the amount credited to all the European nations. Our railroads are about equal in length to the roads of Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Austra and Spain combined, and are more than six times as long as those of all other countries in Europe. In all our States, railroads are now constructed, as well as in the Territories of Wyoming and Utah. In all the other Territories, except Arizona and Alaska, lines are projected. The New England States have a mile of railroad in operation on every 15J square miles were the whole country covered with a net of railways at this rate, we should possess about five times as many as we have now, or about 250,000 miles. The proportion of railroads and area in the Middle States would, if uniform over the entire country,
give 890,000
uiiles of road
and the proportion in Ohio would give more than 350,000 miles. In U( the entiie cost of railroads in the world with their equinmon is, was estimated at eleven thousand four hundred and forty-five million dollars (11,445,000) averaging £9o,il9 per mile." Of this amount we represent twenty-two hundred and sixtyseven millions (32,267,000,000i, averaging S4j,523 per mile. The average cost per mile (equipped) in Europe, is $135,189. In England it is $176,269. Thcoverage cost of construction only in the United States is as follows In New Esgland, $40,000 Middle States $55,000 Southern States, $80,000 Western States, $44,000 Pacific States, $50,000. On our cheaper lines, we, however, find a greater annual outlay
reconstruction and repairs."
The Woman Movement.
It seems to be in the eternal fitness of things that there should be various opinions entertained as to the ways and means to be made use of for the accomplishment of any given object. Yet, there are cases where this difference of opinion is carried to a point of excess, damaging to the cause in which all concerned claim to be devoting the energies of their lives. A case in point is the woman movement. It appears that there are two factions so to speak. One is headed by Mrs. E. C. Stanton and Mrs. Livermore, both ladtes of high social position and literary ability. They claim the ballot for their sex by Consti.tutional right and'fixoral law. There Is* ptill another faction at the head of which

Mrs. Woodhull through the advice of her "familiar spirit," Demosthenes, has nominated herself as an independent candidate for President of the United States
the l]ne

evidently intends brassing
it
through. That so high-minded and pure ladies as Mrs. Stanton afid Xjivermore should be disgusted with this woman and her followers is but natural. Under this state of affairs, the friends of the enfranchisement of women can hope to accomplish but little by memorializing Congress, as is their intention this winter.
The Labor Bill..
Just previous to the adjournment, of Congress, the House passed what is known as the Labor Bill, introduced by Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, and which in substance is as follows
The President shall appoint a commission to examine into the condition of American labor, and to report to Congress the facts which are found to exist, and any conclusions arrived at as indicating the means of establishing a more desirable condition.
Now, the import of this movement on the part of the President and his advisers, evidently is to quiet the laboring men, who are on the alert, as to their best interests in the approaching canvass.
In this matter His Excellency and his toady ists will find that they have a mammoth undertaking, as those who belong to that gigantic element of the population of this Union, know from the experience of the past that something in their favor must be accomplished in their behalf, and not simply promised. Otherwise the day is not far distant when a Labor Reform Party will be established on the ruins of the Republican party, when it fails to keep even with the spirit of the times, and the progress of free institutions.
THE
hounds of war in Cuba are again
loosed upon the liberty-loving though ill-fated islanders, who are making a feeble yet seemingly determined resistance. The recent wholesale butchery of Cuban students has been closely followed by a barbarous order that after January 15, all prisoners taken by the Spanish authorities are to be shot, all who surrender Voluntarily, are to be imprisoned for life and slaves are to be returned to their owners, which means that they are again to be enslaved. We would not be in favor of an intervention by our Government in this matter, did the Government of Spain confine itself to the laws of nations, but when the official announcement is made that international law and the law of humanity, on which it is based, is to be subverted, we are most emphatically in favor of the intervention of the United States and the annexation of the rich island of Cuba to this glorious Union of ours.
From the New York Tribune.
One Term.
The Washington Chronicle prints in solemn silence Mr. Sumner's proposal that the Federal Constitution shall be so amended that no President shall, after 1873, be eligible to re-election. That journal was not wont to be so reticent. Four years have not yet passed since it demonstrated earnestly, persistently, in favor of One Presidential Term. Witness the following leader from its issue of June 3, 1868 "ONLY ONE TERM. "A difficult question to settle was the term of the Presidential office in the Convention of 1789. Several prominent members changed sides upon it during the discussion. Many of the views of those who desired the President to be eligible to re-election have not been realized. Most of the objections urged against eligibility have been realized. Its dangerous effect upon executive officers and the Administration of the Government was observed and commented on by De Tocqueville in 1835, and in his 'Democracy in America,' he pronounced it the incurable disease, sapping the vitals of our Republic. He said, with sadness and too much truth, that the per sonal interests of the President became superior to his sense of official duty, and that everything was subordinate to them. He wondered how the architects of the Federal system, who had mauaged to preserve so fair a balance of power through the organi zation of the three departments of the Government, should have been shortsighted enough to render their whole work insecure by making the President eligible to a re-election. We wonder, too, for it has incontestably done more to destroy the constitutional balance and weaken our institutions than any other inherent^defect^of our system, or perhaps all others combined. From the .first, it has induced Executive activity, not in the administrative duty assigned to the office of President by the Constitution, but in leading legislation, in indicating and forcing the internal and external policy of the Government. From the very beginning, we have been in trouble with what were called 'Administration measures.' Presidents have constantly gone beyond the modest, but all-suf-ficent limits prescribed for them in the Constitution, of giving Congress information of the state of the Union and recommending to their consideration such measures as they shall judge necessary and expedient, and have resorted to all the pressure which the vast means and patronage of the Government has placed in theirliands. The result has been a magnifying of the Presidential rffice as the center of all houor aud power, and a const quent decrease of respect for all the other branches of Government. "VVe are glad to perceive that General Grant, the Republican nominee for the Presidency, has so succinctly stated his views of the offiee which he is destiued to fill. He regards it as a 'purely administrative one,' and says he will have 'no policy of his own to enforce against the people's will.' This is a constitutional view of the President's office, and oue which, in its practical influence, can not fail to secure harmonious co-opera-tion between the different departments of the Government and peace to the country. We most heartily echo the sentiment expressed in the last line of our candidate's letter "Let us have peace.1 To obtain this, it is of the first importance that the President should be satisfied with performing the duty assigned to him by the Constitution—that of administering the laws, not making them, nor sitting in judi»meut upon them. He has neither legislative nor judicial powers, and when he attempts to substitute proclamations for the authority or law, as Andrew Johnson did in his restoration policy, or to substitute his opinion in the place of law, as he did in the case of Mr. Stanton, the President trenches upon the powers granted to other departments. There is a constant temptation to do this, so long as a President may b© re-e'e^ted.
He^desires to be
popular, and attain the credit lbr all the measures enacted during hift term which
legislation Congress/ and his efforts to enforce a policyof his own. What the country needs for pacification is a President •without a policy. iS'uch a one we shall have in Gen. Grant. He is, moreover, alt advocate of the One Term principle$ as conducing toward the proper administration of the law—a principle with which so many prominent Republican hare identified themselves that it may be accepted as an article of party faith. Senators "V^ade and Sumner have each amendments to the Constituion pending before the Senate restricting the Presidency to a single term, and on Saturday last the Hon. James M. Ashley, of Ohio, introduced two amendments to the Constitution into theHouse ofRepresen tatives for the same purpose, and with the further view of electing the President by a direct vote of the people, abolishing the office of Vice President, and providing a more satisfactory method of general election. "The amendments he sustains in an elaborate argument, indicating thorough research and perfect mastery of his subject. There was a time in our history when reputation for statesmanship were established by so able an elucidation of the results to flow from a measure of such importance. Many of his views will be novel and striking to those who have not reflected upon the subject but they are evidently drawn from the resource of a large experience in the practical workings of existing governmental machinery."
Will the Chronicle be good enough to tell us what it thinks of the above doctrine now
