Railroad Consolidation PrOhib-
tied.

To the Editor Of the Globe Democrat.
By the Constitution of Missouri
adopted in 1875. it is provided In
section II, article 12, that mo railroad
Or other corporation, or the lessees,
purchasers or managers OF any railroad
corporation, shall consolidate the stock,
property or franchises OF sucn corpora
ton with, or lease Or purchase the
works or franchises of, or in any way
control any railroad corporation own
ing Or having under its control a
parallel or competing line; nor shall
any officer of such railroad corporation
act as an officer of any other railroad
corporation owning or having control
of a parallel or connecting line. The
question whether railroads are parallel
or competing lines shall, when de-
manded, be decided by jury, as in
other civil issues.n
The intent and purpose of this pro-
vision is so clear and obvious as to not
admit of doubt or discussion. The peo-
ple's interests would be endangered if
competing lines of railroads Were per-
mitted to consolidate, SO AS to pre- vent
healthful competition.
The same Constitution provides for
the election of an executive officer of
the State, to be known and styled a
Governor, who is charged with the
faithful execution of the laws.
Can the failure of Governor Critten-
den to enforce these plain provisions of
the Constitution be explained or apollo
gized for?
1t certainly is known to our Govern
or that the Iron Mountain railroad and
the Missouri Pacific, and Missouri,
Kansas and Texas have been for years
competing lines for the St. Louis trade
with Texas, and for the expressed pur-
pose of preventing this competition
these roads have been consolidated un-
der one management, in defiance of the
laws that it is the duty of the Govern
or to enforce.
The Missouri Pacific and old North
Missouri (now Wabash), the compet-
ing and parallel lines between Kansas
City and ST. Louis, have been pra cti-
cally consolidated, the same man be-
ing now President of both corpora
tions.
Indeed, the consolidation that is by
the Constitution prohibited, has, in
defiance of the law, been carried to
such an extent that all the competing
roads of the State have been, one by
one, swallowed up by gigantic mo-
nopoly, while our Governor, armed
with full constitutional power to pre-
vent the threatened dangers, remains
passive and silent. Why is this thus?

Heating the SchOO1rO0xa

Ed. Register e
The heating of the. schoolroom is OF
very great Importance, since upon it
depends, very largely, not only the
mental vigor of the p pill, but their
| health also. The best arrangement
for heating is that which applies the
heat as near the floor as possible.
The proper distribution of warm air
pipes will likely come as near filling
the conditions as any other process.
At any rate, the heated air should cir
culate as near the floor as possible.
The common stove is very objectional
under the most favora BILE conditions.
If placed near the center of the room
of perforated sheet-iron, it is better.
Otherwise. the pupils will suffer from
cold feet and hot heads-conditions
just the reverse of those necessary to
not kept clean and well polished, there
is poisonous acid emitted from Il
when heated, which the pupils Az
obliged to breathe.
\ very common custom is to put the
stove into some corner of the room, to
have it out of the way as much as MAY
be, and then run the pipe across the
room just above the pupils heads.
This is probably the most ohjectiona-
bic heating process i'm tn whole cata-
logue, since it insures heated ait for
the head and cold air for the feet. If
the pipes were on the floor, or under it,
the plan would be good. But, at all
events, every schoolroOm should be
supplied with a thrrmometer. BY no
means should this be neglected. Then
the room could be kept about the same
Temperatures. Pr.,h bly, sixty-five de-
grees Fahrenheit Is about right for a
study room filled with pupils.
The teacher will not do for ther-
mometer, for he is generally more
warmly dressed than many of his pu-
pills, besides, his work is more of the
mental than of the physical, and he
may forget the fire. Let some school
director commence reading an inter-
estng story on cold winter evening.
He is all absorbed in the story. Some
time in the night the spell breaks.
All but himself have retired tor the
night. The fire has burned out. The
room is cold. He is half frozen.
School teachers are human beings,
too. How many children attending
the public schools, during winter, com
plain of cold feet and headache? Don't
they have a dry cough and thin, hec-
tic visage? Parents say going to school
and hard study do not agree with their
children. My good friend, it is more
often the condition of the schoolroom
that is So surely undermining the
health of your child than the going to
school and the hard study. Every
year thousands of the most promising
youth of our land fill untimeIy graves
from a want of properly warmed and
properly ventilated schoolrooms.

Gathered to Rest.

Mr.. Luther Hill, who died at Bonnie
Tsrre, Mo, on the 18th of last January,
after an illness of five days of pueu-
monia, was born on the 10th day of
November, 1856, on the old homestead
known as the "HiIl Farm" in St.
Francois county, Mo, where he lived
the greater part of his life. In the
spring of 1879 his enterprising spirit
inpeIled him to the growing West,
where he engaged in the stock busi-
ness, in which he was very successful;
but, feeling it duty he owed to his
aged parents to administer acts of kind
ness to them in their declining years,
he came home in the fall of 1880. He
was married to Miss Lucie Evans, of
Arcadia, on March 10Th, 1881, and
went to Bonne Terre, where he resided
up to the time of his death.
Nothing that we could say would do
Justice to such man as we knew him
to be. From childhood to the time of
his death, he was a devoted son-aI-
ways remembering his duty to his
parents. He was an affectionate hus-
band and a loving brother. In the
very spring-time of life he was taken
away. He was man of high moral
character; possessed the best of princi-
pies; ever ready to justify right and
condemn wrong. He was true to his
friends. and at all times ready to do
them a favor when it was in his power
to do SO. He was generous, spotless
and brave. His devoted wife, his aged
parents, his constant sisters and broth
ers, his numerous friends and his coun-
try have suffered an irreparable loss,
and his death will long be mourned by
his many friends and relatives. II.
