the suit Of the Boston Sugar Refinery, in
stituted to test the question whether the
railway people can divert freight from a

shippers. The Boston company rendered
certain freight to the Rock Island road, but
the commissioner Of the pool said the

rendered in spite Of any pool regulations.

DISCUSSING the question Of National aid
for free schools, the Louisville Courier
Journal says "The Courier Journal opposes
the pauper school system because the
Southern peopleare not paupers and can
ray for weIl.taught public schools in every
district il they will" 1t may be that the
Southern people are not paupers; yet 1t is
true that there is appalling illiteracy among
them. 1t may be that they are ableto have
enough schools, but they don't have them.
.And speaking Of "pauper schools" that
is lhs kind Of public schools they used to
have in the South. A man had to confess
himself unable to pay before his child
could be admitted to the benefits Of
such free schools as there were.
Bat would the acceptance Of nation.
al aid for free schools make
paupeB Of the Southern people? They
don't glg over national money to improve
their rivers, to beat oil the pestilence, and
TO shelter and feed them in times Of over
dow. The "pauper" cry is very bad ar
ticle Of nonsense. Itseems that Democrats
Of a certain type regard ignorance as the
friend aud ally Of the Democratic party.
