The courts of this country are grad- ually beginning to enforce the well estab- lished doctrine that public corporations cannot make contracts that are contrary to public policy. For years it has been the usage of railway companies to give special rebates and reduced rates to one patron, to the detriment of another. The arbltrary exercise of this power has made the favored patron prosper, while his competitor in business was going down, and being driven into bankruptey, It is yery easy for the favored few to monopo- lizo the entire trafiic by underselling those who are frozen out. A case, involving this very question of railroad discrimination and favoritism, has just beon decided in the common pleas court of Cleveland. The case, which is one of unusual importance and general interest, covers a period of years. The Standard Oil refinery had gradually absorbed nearly all the smaller institu- tions of the kind. One firm resisted all efforts of the Standard monopoly to buy them out, but made a contract with the Standard to produce only a certain quantity of oil per year, but in 1882 the independent firm broke away from the contract, The Standard company brought suit but was beaten, the court holding that anything like the limitation of the supply for the purposes of affect- ing prices was monopolistic, and against public policy. Since then the defend- ants, Schofield, Shurmer & Teagle, have bitterly fought the Standard company. They claim that the railroads have invariably favored the Standard by the in consideration phere.

Our old friend Lowellyn has called on President Arthur with a delegation of Jicarillias Apaches, who promise tobegood Indians if they can only get double ra- tions of distilled corn juice and sow belly. Missount has ne electoral votes to give to a republican president, but she is not at all backward in asking for offices. The Missouri congressmen propose to press the name of J. H. Thomas, of Platts- burg, for the surveyor-generalship of Wyoming. Tue Denver & Rio Grand has just been mortgaged for $50,000,000 to the Union Trust company of New York. ‘What it wants with so much money, un- less itis to extend its system to San Franoisco, is what will puzzle the public. The probability is that in case of such an tain directions. Finally Schofield, Shur- mer & Teagle commenced an action against the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern road. In their petition they prayed fora temporary injunction and relief. They specifically set forth that the Lake Shore road instead of holding to its schedule, hal since December, 1879, fixed the schedule rates for them largely in oxcess of those fixed by the road for the Standard Oil company. They had also arranged and combined with connecting roads so that through rates charged to and paid by the plaintiffs were very largely in excess of those charged the Standard Oil company, and the pro- portion of the through rate charged by the road to the Standard was much less than the price charged the plaintiffs. Then the road refused to grant or give the plaintiffs the through rates given the Standard, and threatened to refuse in the future to give them such rates. The plaintiffs alleged that such discrimination extension it will be heawily backed by the Burlington. Tar Burlington, fight against the Union Pacific, will be backed by the Northern Pacific and the Atchison, To- peka & Santa Fee® The Northern P a- cific considers the few move as much di- rected against itself as against the Bur- lington. The Central Pacific is on the fence, but will fall off on the side of the winner in the fight hetween the Union was made by the road refunding or pay- ing back to the Standard certain rebates upon all products shipped over their line and branches, but apparently collecting full rates, amounting to from 30 to 650 per cent of the entire freight collected. Schofield, Shurmer & Teagle also claimed that they had at different times demand- ed the same rates as were given the Standard Oil company, only to be re- fused, and that by means of the unfair discrimination it was impossible for them to compete with the Standard Oil com- the pany in the territory along the Lake Shore road. These were the main points in the case. At first a tomporary injunc. tion only was prayed for, but before the trial the parties agreed that the hearing should be for a perma- nent injunction. Judge Blandin, before whom the case was heard, granted the injunction.

Convict labor is one of the leading subjects discussed by Governor Foster in his annual message to the Ohio legis- lature. The governor of Ohio vigorously condemns the prison labor-contract sys- tem. Both of the political parties in that state have declared against it, and tho subject has been pretty thoroughly discussed. Governor Foster has investigated the matter, and he says that there is no doubt that the contract system does, in some departments seriously injure hon- est labor. The honest labor of the state has a right to ask that this inquiry be reduced to a minimum, and he declares that it is the duty of the legislature to secure such a result, That the convict must be compelled to work, says Gov. Foster, isa proposition so self-evident that no one will dispute it—that his work shall do as little harm to honest labor as possible is the end to be sought, and prison management should have for its main object the reform of the con- viet, To accomplish these desirable results Governor Foster recommends, first, that all sentences be of an indeterminate character, life sentences excepted, the term of confinement to be determin- ed by the prison managers; that eight hours constitute a day’s work; that two hours each day be devoted to the educa- tion of the convict; that the judge, when he sentences a convict, certify to the board of managers the facts that secured the conviction, with a statement of the general character of the convict. The board of managers should adopt a system of rules providing for promotion fer good ANUARY 11, 1884, our la]gder as his eause has been promot- A nominated and elected.” This is the opinion of interested par- ties, and should be taken for what it is worth. It is by no means certain that any democrat can be elected. — One Oause of Hard Times, Chioago Tribune. The fact that the rapid payment of the public debt is one of the causes of the hard times which are now pressing on the people is gradually making its way into the popular mind. 8o much public opin- ion has been created in favor of this course of the government that it has been very hard for the people to see that the very thing on which they hadbeen taught to look with so much pride, the froe of- fusion of blood, was one of the prime causes of the depression of their indus- tries. By just how much the reduction of the debt has exceeded the requirements of the case is not exactly known. The sinking fund law requires the secretary of the treasury to buy or pay 1 per cent of the entire debt when at its maximum, with compound interest, overy ye: Under this provision as thus construed there has been paid off, Secretary Mor- rill said in 1876, 8223,000,000 more than was necessary. That was seven years ago. Senator Beck calculates that the amount of reduction of the debt in ex- cess of the sinking fund requirements now amounts to $700,000,000 and more. An inquiry has been ordered by the sen- ate, and we shall soon know the exact figures from official sources ; but the rate at which bonds have been called in since Secretary Morrill estimated the unnec- essary payment at $223,000,000 leaves little doubt that Senator Beck’s figures are very near the mark, What this means is, thatsince the war, besides repairing its ravages in field, shop, and factory, paying enormous pen- sions and all the expenses of a govern- ment run on a liberal if not extravagant scale, and recruiting their financial strength after a most prostrating panic, the people of the United States have had to contribute out of their daily earnings for the permanent payment of the debt the immense sum of $700,000,000. This is the amount of money which the rapid extinction of a debt not due has taken away from the farmers, workingmen, ond tradesmen of the country. Itis impossible not to believe that the present severity of the condition of life and in- dustry in this country have been largely conduct, and reduction of standing for bad conduct. At a certain degree of promotion the convict should be entitled to wear citizons clothes, and a cortain further degree of promotion should enti- tle him to his freedom, to go out of the prison with a right to his earnings, he to be a convict still, bearing the certificate of the prison managers to that effect. (Governor Foster’s recommendation, that the convict shall have a right to his earnings, is about the same thing that was suggested by Tur Bee. We favored a plan whereby the convict or his family should have the benefit of the surplus remaining out of his earnings after the expenses of keeping and maintaining had been deducted. Governor Foster further recommends that good conduct outside the prison for a stated period, the con- vict reporting once a month, his report certified by his employer, should entitle him to a full discharge and resteration to all the rights and privileges of citizen- ship. In stating his reasons why prison labor is injurious to honest labor, Governor Foster expresses the ideas that have been frequently advanced by Tue BEe. Prison labor fixes the price of honest labor, says Governor Foster, and the amount of con- vict labor does not equal one per cent of the labor of the state, and probably, in any oue article manufactured by convict labor does not equal more than ten per cent of the total product, yet this ten per cent fixes the price in times of depression of the ninety per cent of honest labor engaged in the same manufacture. Mr. Foster is of the opinion that to employ the labor of the convicts on state account would not help this feature of the trouble. He argues that ‘‘the state will sell the product of prison laber, and it does not matter what safeguards you may undertako to establish, the fact re- wains ihat prison labor must be sold at a less price than honest labor, or it will be found that it cannot be sold at all.” On this particular point Trr Bk difters with Mr. Foster. We hold that the state could supply prison labor on its own account or let it to contractors, and not have it reg- ulate the price of honest labor. This can |a be accomplished by enacting a law that the products of prison labor shall not be thrown upon the market ai a less price than the ruling rate for the products of honest labor, This would give honest labor an equal show so far as competition with convicts is concerned, Tuexe seems to be some doubt as to the ability of J. Sterling Morton to carry out his threat of bouncing Barnum, The Philadelphia Press says: “‘J. Bterling Morton, an esteemed froe- trade democrat from Nebraska, declares that Chairman Barnum, of the national democratio committee, is a protectionist and must go. The eral impression, however, is that Mr. Morton will not be ablo to fulfill his contract. Tae populer amusementamong a num- ber of newspapers is the making of pres- idential nominations. The latest nomi- nation of this character, is Carlisle, who is being pushed to the frony by the At- lanta, (Ga.) Constitution, In answering the objection that Carlisle is a southern- o, & prominent democrat says, in an in. | §! terview: * During the war that made this ob- jection significant, Carlisle was a consis- tent union man, On southern issues to which the mnorth objected he was with the north.

It sot the pace for the presi- dential campaign, No matter who the candidaio may be he will have to carry Curlisle’s platform, We must promote caused by this withdrawal from every producer of earnings that in his hands could have been employed to better his condition. The two points at which the present depression shows itself most sharply are the stock market and the labor market. This vast sum of $700,000,000 was taken mainly frem the industrial classes, includ- ing in them the agricultural. We have in proportion to the whole populationbut few rich men, and they pay relatively a small part of the Nnionnlytaxes which aro levied on tho amount of taxed goods. These are 8o arranged that they fall on the consumption of the country, not on its capital, and the bulk of he $700,000,- 000 was consequently taken from the laboring classes, and was to just that ex- tent a diminution of their ability to buy more of the things that they wanted. For the lack of the purchasing power of that $700,000,000 the stores and factories are to-day complaining of dull business and tens of thousands of artisans are idle. This $700,000,000 thus taken from the consuming people was paid out by the government to the bnn?cen who held {or rather gathered up the bonds to be paid off. To limited extent the bonds were held by the people,but mostly by estates and banks, and great capitalists—not by active business men or the the industrial or agriculturial population who had to furnish the money for paying them off. There was a distinct and final transfer of money from one elass to anotaer. £t did work around back te the millions ot tax- payers who have been forced by the tax- gatheser to supply it out of their scanty means, It remamned for the most part in the hands of the investing,speculating, and money-lending class. So clearly was this recognized that one of the periodi- cally-recurring stimulants for the intoxi- cated stock market of 1879 to 1880 was the regular monthly announcement that so many millions of bonds were to be called and paid offt. Whereupon up would go prices of stocks another on the expectation of this new dram for the speculators. »The complete and ruinous collapse of the stock market is to bo attributed in a great measure to this overstimulation. The distress of labor and the depression of the commercial and manufacturing in- tereststhat cater to their wants are due to the withdrawal of the money that caused the overstimulation.

Dakora in 1883, St. Paul Plonior Press, The opening paragraph of the report for 1883 of the governor of Dakota sets forth in language that is none too strong the wonderful change that o year has wrought in the great territory of the Northwest: *“The progress and develop- ment of Dakota during the past year have been almost phenomenal. The tide of immigration which set in strongly in 1880 has been constantly increasing, until during the past year, I think, a fair estimate of the increase in population would reach 100,000, while the increase [ nf assessable property has even been more marke] t1,., he increase in the number of mliabitunts, Year by year, as its resources and capabilities are proved more fully by the practical test of experi- ence, as we cease to rely upon the vague reports of travelers and surve- vors and come to the proved results of settlement, the horizon of Dakota’s fu- turo is extended, and a moro adequate idea of what the territory is, and 1s to be, may be obtainod.

Kven the bad lands of the Little Missouri are found to be excellently adapted to stock raising, and with the rapid development of the territory as a whole, new direc- tions in which industry may profitably exert itself are constantly being dis- covered. The production of gold and silver continues to advance, and the completion of new railroad fa- cilitiest s expected to give a great impulse to the Black Hills, as well as to other regions. The school revenues of the territory for the Jast year reported were nearly $500,000, and under the reorganized system adopted by the last legislature great improvement in educational facilities is expected. It is estimated that a tax of three and a half mills on the dollar of the assessed valua- tion will meet all obligations, and the financial condition of the territory is summed up as follows: ‘‘Four years ago the territory owed some $20,000 in war rants, which securities, bearing 10 per cent interest, for want of funds, were selling at a large discount. These war- rants have all been paid off from current revenues, leaving a handsome surplus in the treasury, and the territory will have an outstanding indebtedness, when all the bends provided for by the last two legislatures are issued, of $394,500, bearing but 5 aud 6 per cent annual interest.” To offset these incon- siderablo liabilities, the territory has public institutions costing $400,000, and it is estimated that its total indebtedness could be paid and every bond retired by a five-mill levy upon the assessable pro- perty. These figures give some index of that great development which only those who have witnessed it or been a part of it can fully comprehend. The founda- tions of Dakota’s prosperity are firmly laid, and the time 18 not so far distant when this great region willtake honorable place among the most prosperous agricul- tural states of the Union. e —— Roscoe Oonkling's Father, From The Rochester Herald. Some years ago Hon. Alfred Conklin, was introduced at a political meeting as the father of Roscoe Conkling. He was furious. ‘‘When I was a boy,” he thun- dered, “‘my fcllow-citizens began to honor me with public duties, and in my early manhood I received larger trusts and more notable proofs of the esteem and admiration of my countrymen. In the diplomatic service of the United States 1 won the approval cf the department of state. In congress I was the confidential friend and intimate associate of such men as Henry Clay and John Randolph of Reanoke, and,2as a judge, I have com- manded the respect of the bar and the homage of the people.
