navigation question. We are glad to
know, however, that they are pushing
forward the enterprise with energy
and with most encouraging prospects
of sdccess. 1t will be of very great
value to our citizens living on or near

veloping and bringing to market the

abound in almost inexhaustable guam.

SOMEBODY, who has nothing else to
do, wishes the Legislature to change
the subdivisions of this (the 7th) Ju-
nicial District. This subdivision (the
2d) is composed of the counties Of
Lawrence, Vinton, Scioto, Jackson
and Pike, and is presided over by
Judges Martin Grain, Of Scioto, ant
J. P. PlyIey, Of vinton county. Th'
proposed change in the subdivision il
to withdraw Gailia county from th'
Sd subdivision and attach it to the I'd
We think this is both foolish and out,
rageous-let the subdivisions alone
there is nothing wrong about them, in
our opinion, but there may be few
"loyal" county court lawyers and pet
tifoggers who are dissatisfied because
the people elected white man Judge
of the subdivision last fall. We hone
the measure will be defeated in the
Legislature.

RAILROAD DECISION. n,

The case between the NJ. & G. r. R.
Co. and the furnacemen, which oc-
casioned some excitement in Seioto
county last year, has again been de
cided against the furnacemen by
Judge Guthrie. He went further than
did Judge Johnson in his decision at
the Scioto Common Pleas Court last
year, in that he held that the Ports
mouth branch was operated under the
original charter of tho NJ. & G. r. R.
Co., which only required that the
charges on freight should be ressona-
BILE, thereby affording an underlined
latitude in charging for transporta-
ton, which was denied by the general
Railroad law under which the Scioto
and Hooking Valley r. r. was built.
The Portsmouth branch having been
purchased by the M. & G. R. r. Co,
became part of the latter's property
and was subject to the regulations
governing the NJ, & G. R. r. at the
time of the purchase. q
