Why not ndd Latin to the llst of op- tional studies at thie Divislon High Schools? Teach- cra conld be employed that could teach both Latin and German without increasing the cost of teach- rra.

Another Drop in Passonger-Rates to the East, The Erle and Grand Trunk Take the Initiative and the Othors Follow. Some Intercsting Statistics Con= cerning Ohio Railwnys. TIIE WAR ON PASSENGER RATES, Tho war botween the Enstern trunk linea Is Just beginning ta get intercating, and ono reduction of raten dn rapldly followed by another, Move after move Is made by the varloun conteatants, ench try- fyg to eheckmate ita adversariea, but thus far none of the glants show any sfgn of wenknress, and thero I no felling when nnd how the contest will end. The Erle Rallroud declited a short. time ago thnt it will herenfter keep the pansenger rate froms New York to Chlcago 81 below that of tho other trnnk llues, In pursnance of this determination, this road announced yeeterday that, as tho trunk lines had rednced the rate from New York to Chi- cago to S14, It would herenfter charge but §13, As Vanderbilt ia determined not to allow this advantnge to the Lrle, a still further reduction in West-hound paseenger rates mny be looked for #tany moment, The Grand Triik Rullroad hay decided to keep the rate from Chicago to Bostor, and vice versa, $2 below thoso made by the trunl lines, and yesterday, when the ruto from that point to Chicago was made $15 by the trunk lines, 1t Inmediately reduced ite rate to $13, N w, Vane dorbilt 1 also determined to ke ep tho rate 1o New Yorltat the aame flzure as that charged by the Grund Tronk to Boston, When Mr, 1. E, Moree, the Westera Genernl Passenger Agent of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Fui ruad, heeamy aware of (he fact yoslerduy afternvon’ that the Grand T'runk had m the ate from Chicago to Hoston 813, ho telegraphed to Vanderbllt for ins structions, and In tho evening the auswercame back to reduce ot once the rote from Chicugo ty New York to 813, and to Boston S14. Of conrse, nll the other leading lnes to {here polnts are cont- pelled to foliow wait, and_consequently al) the roads will this morning sell tickéts at the shove- named reduced rates.

The war Is nuw s ,icllv.'ml one bolh ways, and It the Ere and Grad Trank adbere 1o their resolo- tinn to underrell Vandorbiit, und Vanderbilt nd- hieres o hiw determination to ki even with them, there ia no telling where the rates will be aweek from now. At thnt time the rates whl probably be down 1o nothing, and the Grand Trupk nnd Erle, to keep np the colnpetition, will furnish free meals in addition, When this comes to pass, then thero will bo such a rush {o the Centonpialan cven the moat Ru)\‘r'ulue havo not drewtaed of, 1t 8, however, very doubtfal that this siate of ailales wlil' last_niany days, a4 there are bat fese tosdn that can stand el a deternined war auy length of thne, und, before long, there will be a comproise between tho various rouds, and_rates will Janp up agiln to the high tgures they were before ” the war commenced, — RAILROADS IN OINIO.
