Tho state of Oregon should pay tuoru attention to jotting general -tato tax out of stock watering cor porations. The supreme court of ihe United States ou the 11th instant teudered n decision sustaluiug the validity of the Pennsylvania law pioviding that tho Pullman Palace Car company should pay tax on Its property within tho state, the amount on which it was to be assessed to be found by ascertaining the proportion which the number of miles of road within tho state over which the company's car run boro to the total number of miles In the United States over which they rati, and then dividing the capital stock of the company by the proportion. It was contended by the company that this law was unconstitutional, for the reason that it was a regula tion of interstate commerce, and that its cars could 1)0 taxed only in the state of Illinois. Justice Gray ruled that it was not a liceiis-o or a privileged tax, but a tax applied equally on all tho corporations within the state, whether engaged in interstate transportation or not. Tho tax on the company was em ployed, not because it was doing business in tho state, but because the cars were in the state and wen property, and they were taxed w hether they went on beyond the state's boundaries or not. Tho mode of taxation the state adopted, on a state mileage basis proportionate to tho total mileage of tho country, was au equitable and Jtmt method of settlement, and, if followed in every state, the company would be assessed on the whole capital stock, and uo more. The result of a decision that such a method of taxation Is uncon stitutional would bo that property employed in an v continuous mop incut would escape taxation alto gether. Justice Gray also announced that the court sustained the validity of the Massachusetts law under which tho commonwealth taxed the buildings, machinery and oihei property of the Western Union Tel egraph company within the state, first ascertaining and deducting the amount of properly of the company already assessed by municipal or local authorities.

London, May 21. It la said that tho charccs nllectluc tho character of tho lato George IV. of England, to which much publicity has been given iu a weekly publication that makes a habit of attacking royalty, are being oxamlned Into under direc tion of tho attorney general, with a view of prosccutlug tho authors should sufficient ground bo discov ered for such action. Heretofore tho royal family has Ignored all attacks, howovor offeimlvo, as boneath tho sovereign's dignity to notice, but cortalu scurrilous publications have of lato taken such liberties with tho namo of Guolph that some action is not Improbable. Tho llbellug of tho dead is an oflcnso ugainst tho Eng llsh law, aud tho prosecution could bo handled with urn 'h Uat lncon venieuco than ono involving living perpous. The published statement that George IV. has n living de scendant Is denied on high authority uud Is uot believed. Queen Victoria has been noted for hor kindness to the descendants of hor unolo, Wll- llutn IV., and it Is thought inored Iblo that sho would permit tho do scondaut of another undo to suffer iu want. Whllo there nro undoubt edly Illegitimate posterity of George III. in existence, thoy are, It is un derstood, quietly taken cure of In minor government offices or other wise; no such claim plausibly pre sented would go unexamined In be half of tho royal family, and If found trustworthy tho person would bo taken care of.
