DKC1SWN.
The courU 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
apocia ! rebates and reduced rates to one
patron , to the detriment of another. The
arbitrary exercise of this power has made
the favored patron prosper , while his
competitor in business was going down ,
and boinn driven into bankruptcy , It is
very easy for the favored few to monopo
lize the entire traffic by underselling
those who are frozen out.
A case , involving this very question of
railroad discrimination and favoritism ,
has just boon decided in the common
picas court of Cleveland. The case ,
which is ono of unusual importance and
general interest , covers a period of years.
The Standard Oil refinery had gtadually
absorbed nearly all the smaller institu
tions of the kind. Ono 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 , Schofiold , Shurmor & Teaglo , have
bitterly fought the Standard company.
They claim that the railroads have
invariably favored the Standard by the
system of rebates in consideration
of the Standard agreeing to ship certain
quantities of oil , the full supply , in cer
tain directions. Finally Schofiold , Shur-
mor & Toaglo commenced an action
against the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern road. In their petition they
prayed for a temporary injunction and
roliof. They specifically sot forth that
the Lake Shore road instead of holding
to its schedule , hai since December ,
1870 , fixed the schedule rates for thorn
largely in excess of these fixed by the
riad 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 loss
than the prino 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 thorn such rates. The
plaintiffs alleged that such discrimination
was made by the road refunding or pay
ing back to the Standard certain rebates
upon all products shipped ever their line
and branches , but apparently collecting
full rates , amounting to from 30 to GO per
cent of the entire freight collected.
Schofiold , Shurmor & Teaglo also claimed
that they had at different times demand
ed the same rates as were given the
Standard Oil company , only to bo refused -
fused , and that by moans of the unfair
discrimination it was impossible for them
to compote with the Standard Oil com
pany in the territory along the Lake
Shore road.
These were the main points in the
caso. At first a temporary injunc
tion only was prayed for , but
before the trial the parties agreed
that the hearing should bo for a perma
nent injunction. Judge Blandin , before
whom the case was heard , granted the
injunction. Ho hold that a railroad is a
common carrier , and therefore a servant
to the public , and has no right to make
secret rates in favor of ono corporation
to the disadvantage of the public , but
that its rates should bo equal to all. A
largo number of authorities wore quoted.
Ho said the road suffers nothing by being
prevented from discriminating ; while , on
the other hand , if railroads wora allowed
to inako special rates to favorites , it
would bo the moans of building up gigan
tic monopolies which would ruin the
country. The plea of largo quantities
shipped is no excuse , ho said , for in giv
ing lower rates to a few , it would prevent
competition by other firms. This would
allow the few to ship largo quantities ,
and thus govern the rates , and the result
would again bo the building up of
monopolies.
As usual , the railroad will appeal , and
make its high-priced attorneys oani their
salaries ; but before a fair and incorrupti
ble court that righteous decision can
never bo disturbed , for it rests on a rock
bottom of common sense principles and
common law. Railroads are the crea
tures of the legislature. They are ,
therefore , public servants , and in such
capacity they must treat the public with
strict impartiality ,
This monopoly-riddon country would
soon bo freed from unjustdisrtriminations
were there raoro judges like Judge Blan
din , of Cleveland , who dared to do right ,
oven though it was in opposition to such
gigantic and unjust monopolies at , the
Standard Oil company aud the Lake
Shore railroad.
TUB agitation which has been going on
in Now York city for some time regard
ing the oloctrio wires , is about to take
definite shape. A bill has been intro
duced in the Now York legislature to
compel the putting of okclrio wires
under ground in all the largo cities of the
state , and that in Now York and Brook
lyn they shall bo placed under ground
before November , 1835 , It it claimed
that the bill will beoomu n law. If it is
passed it will eettlo the question whether
wires can bo successfully worked under
ground. Interested parties , who with to
avoid expense , claim that it is unprac
tical. On the other hand it has been
successfully demonstrated that properly
insulnUd wires will work all ruht ; under
ground. It is suspected that inventions
and appliances for underground systems
are being withhold from the public , but
it is believed that if n law is passed re
quiring wires to bo placed under ground
plenty of appliances will bo produced to
carry out the system. The day is prob
ably not far distant when exposed wires
will nowhere bo soon in the streets of
largo cities.
CONVICT LAiion jy onto.
Convict labor is ono of the leading
Bubjocta 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 paities in
that slate have declared against it , and
the subject has been pretty thoroughly
discussed.
Governor Foster baa investigated the
matter , and ho says that there is no
doubt that the contract system docs , in
some departments seriously injure hon
est labor. The honest labor of the state
has a right to ask that this inquiry bo
reduced to a minimum , and ho declares
that it is the duty of the legislature to
secure such a result , That the convict
muit bo compelled to work , says Gov.
Foster , is a proposition so solf-ovidont
that no ono will dispute it that his
work shall do as little harm to honest
labor as possible is the end to bo Bought ,
and prison management should have for
its main object the reform of the con
vict.
vict.To
To accomplish these desirable results
Governor Foster recommends , first , that
all sentences bo of an indeterminate
character , life sentences cxcopted , the
term of confinement to bo determin
ed by the prison managers ; that eight
hours constitute a day's work ; that two
hours each day bo dovotcd to the educa
tion of the convict ; that the judge , when
ho 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 f or good
conduct , and reduction of standing for
bad conduct. At a certain degree of
promotion the convict should bo entitled
to wear citizens clothes , and a certain
further degree of promotion should enti
tle him to his freedom , to go out of the
prison with a right to his earnings , ho to
bo 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 THE BEE. Wo 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
boon deducted. G ovornor 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 restoration 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 TIIE BEE. Prison
labor fixes the price of honest labor , says
Governor Foster , and the amount of con
vict labor does not equal ono per cent of
the labor of the state , and probably , in
any ouo article manufactured by convict
labor does not equal more than ton per
cent of the total product , yet this ton per
cent fixes the price in times of depression
of the ninety per cent of honest labor
engaged in the same manufacture.
Sir. Foster is of the opinion that to
employ the labor of the convicts on state
account would not help this feature of
the trouble. Ho argues that "tho state
will sell the product of prison labor , and
it does not matter what safeguards you
may undertake to establish , the fact re
mains that prison labor must bo sold at a
loss price than honoat labor , or it will bo
found that it cannot bo sold at all. " On
this particular point TUE BEB differs with
Mr. Foster. Wo hold that the state could
supply prison labor on its own account or
lot it to contractors , and not have it regulate -
ulato the price of honest labor. This can
bo accomplished by enacting a law that
the products of prison labor shall not bo
thrown upon the market at a loss 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.
THERE seems to bo some doubt as to
the ability of J. Sterling Morton to carry
out his throat of bouncing Barnum. The
Philadelphia J'rcss says :
"J. ! 3torlinK Morton , an esteemed free-
trade democrat from Nebraska , declares
that Chairman Barnum , of the national
democratic committee , is a protectionist
and must go. The general impression ,
however , is that Mr. Mortomwill not bo
able to fulfill his contract.
THE populor amusement among 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 fronj. by the At
lanta , ( Ga. ) Constitution. In answering
the objection that Carlisle is a southern
er , a prominent democrat says , in an in
terview :
" During the war that mudo this ob
jection "significant , Carlisle was a consis
tent union man. On southern issues to
which the north objected ho was with
the north. The fact of his being a south
erner is purely geographical. As to that
ho lives within the exact center of popu
lation as given by the last census , * * *
His candidacy has boon discussed in
quiet circles. It is under serious consider
ation. The issue on which ho won the
Hpenkonhin hai largely outgrown the
place. It has sot the pace for the pretU
ilcntial camjmigH. No matter who the
candidate may bu ho will have to carry
CiirlUlo's platform , Wo must promote
our leader as his cnuso has been promot
ed. 1 say it boldly , Carlisle will bo
nominated and elected. "
This is the opinion of interested par
ties , and should bo taken for what it is
worth. It is by no moans certain that
any democrat can bo elected.
Ono Cixuse or Hard Times.
Chicago Tribune.
The fact that the rapid payment of the
public debt is ono of the causes of the
hard times which are now piosaing on the
pcoplo is gradually making its way into
the popular mind. So much public opin
ion has been created in favor of this
course of the Rovornmcnt that it ban boon
very hard for the people to BOO that the
very thing on which they hadbcon taught
to look with so much pride , the frco ef
fusion of blood , was ono of the prime
causes of the depression of their indus
tries.
tries.By
By just how much the reduction of the
debt has exceeded the requirements of
the _ caao is not exactly Known. The
sinking fund law requires the secretary
of the tronsury to buy or pay 1 per cent
of the entire debt when nt its maximum ,
with compound interest , every year.
Under this provision as thus construed
there has boon paid off , Secretary Merrill -
rill said in 1870 , $223,000,000 moro than
was necessary. That was seven years
ago. Senator Bock calculates that the
amount of reduction of the debt in ex
cess of the sinking fund requirements
now amounts to $700,000,000 and moro.
An inquiry has boon otdored by the senate -
ate , and wo shall soon know the exact
figures from official sources ; but the rate
at which bonds have boon called in since
Secretary Merrill estimated the unnec
essary payment at $223,000,000 loaves
little doubt that Senator Bock's figures
are very near the mark.
What this moans is , that since the war ,
besides repairing its ravages in Cold ,
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 pcoplo 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 duo has taken
away from the farmers , workingmen ,
and tradesmen of the country. It is
impossible not to bolioyo that the present
severity of the condition of lifo and in
dustry in this country have been largely
caused by this withdrawal from every
producer of onrnings that in his hands
could have boon employed to bettor 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 fram the industrial classes , includ
ing in them the agricultural. Wo have
in proportion to the whole populationbut
few rich men , and they pay relatively a
small part of the National taxes which
are levied on the amount of taxed goods.
Those are so arranged that they fall on
the consumption of the country , not on
its capital , and the bulk of Jio $700,000-
000 was consoq ontly taken from the
laboring classes , and was to just that ex
tent a .diminution of their ability to buy
moro 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 tons of thousands of artisans are idle.
This $700,000,000 thus taken from the
consuming people was paid out by the
government to the bankers who held tor
rather fathered up the bonds to bo paid
off. To limited extent the bonds were
held by the peoplobut 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 ana final transfer of
money from one class to anotaor. It did
work around back to the millions ot tax
payers who have boon forced by the tax-
gathcsor t-o supply it out of their scanty
moans. It remained for the most part
in the hands of the investingspeculating ,
and money-landing class. So clearly was
this recognized that ono 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 bo
called and paid off. Whereupon up
would po prices of stocks another on the
expectation of this now dram for the
speculators.
* nTho complete and ruinous collapse of
the stock market is to bo attributed in a
great measure to this ovoratimulation.
The distress of labor and the depression
of the commercial and manufacturing in-
torcststhnt cater to tlioir wants are duo to
the withdrawal of the money that caused
the ovorstimulntion. Secretary Folgcr
wonts to spend , according to his message ,
$50,000,000 moro this year for the pro-
niaturo payment of some imro of the
debt , Hero is a point to call a halt.
Give the taxpayer a 'rest. Instead of
paying another cent for the extinction of
a debt not duo , public opinion demands
that congress cut down taxation at least
ono hundred millions a year.

St. Paul I'lonicr Trcii.
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 a year has
wrought iu the great territory of the
Northwest : "Tho progress and develop
ment of Dakota during the past year have
been almost phenomenal. The tidu of
immigration which sot in strongly in
1880 has been constantly increasing , until
during the past year , I think , a fair
estimate of the increase in population
would roach 100,000 , while the increase
of assessable property has oven been more
nmrkc'l tin. , .ho increase in the number
of n.tubitiinu. Year by year , as its
resources and capabilities are proved
moro fully by the practical test of experi
ence , as wo cease to rely tipon the
vague reports of travelers and surve
yors and cotno to the proved results of
settlement , the horizon of Dakota's fu
ture is extended , and a moro adequate
idea of what the territory is. and is to
bo , may bo obtained. Agriculturally the
outlook is annually improving ; and now ,
instead of the va < it desert tract through
which the Missouri was once supposed
to flow , an inviting and prosperous
section lies encouragingly open to
the thousands who are Booking a free
and independent lifo. "There is very little
tlo waste or entirely valueless land in
Dakota , " says Gov. Ordway. Even the
bad lands of the Little Missouri are
found to bo excellently adapted to stock
raising , and with the rapid development
of the territory as a whole , now 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 now railroad fa
cilities is expected to give a
great impulse to the Black Hills ,
as well as to other regions. The school
rovonuoa of the territory for the lost 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 moot nil 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 , wcro
selling at a largo 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 and 0 per cent
annual interest. To offset those incon
siderable liabilities , the territory has
public institutions costing $400,000 , and
it is estimated that its total indebtedness
could bo 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 these
who have witnessed it or boon a part of
it can fully comprehend. The founda
tions of Dakota's prosperity are firmly
laid , and the time is not so far distant
when this great region will take honorable
place among the most prosperous agricul
tural states of the Union.
Roscoe Conkllng's Father.
From The Rochester llcrtld.
Some years ago Hon. Alfred Conkling
was introduced at a political mooting as
the father of Roacoo Conkling. Ho was
furious. "When I was a boy , " he thun
dered , "my fellow-citizens began to honor
mo 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 I
won the appidval of the department of
state. In congress I was the confidential
friend and intimate associate of such men
as Henry Clay and John Randolph of
Roanoke , and,2a3 a judge , I have com
manded the respect of the bar and the
homage of the people. Throughout my
lifo I liavo been honored and respected
by all men , and now , in inino old age.
God pity mo I am nothing but the
father of Roscoe Conkling. "
