CLEVELAND, Jan. Tn the Common Pleas
Court this afternoon Judge Bondn gave HIS decision in
the ScOed Shurmer and Teage against the Lake
Shore Railroad Company. The plaintiffs prayed that the
Court would enjoln the company from making
a distinction in tariff rates between themselves
and the Standard Oil Company The plaintiffs have been
shipping large quantities Of oil the road, and have
been compelled to pay full tarirates; while the Standard
Oil Company have been allowed rebate OF ten cents on
the barrel It in vain that the plaintiffs offered to
furnish tank similar to those used by the Standard
Company; the Lake Shore refused TO make any better
rates.
Judge BlOndn held that as common carriers, railroad
company amenabe TO laws governing the conduct OF
public Institutions, and that they were obliged TO treat all
customers alike II better rates were made to one corpo
ration than another the public would be deprived OF the
benefits OF a competition, and the general interest would
suffer. Small capitalists would be deferred from engag
ing business by of the higher tariff upon their
goods, while hardship at all would result If equal
rates granted The Court held that the plaintiffs
were entitled equal rates with the most favored ship
per- equal benefits and rebates without regard 10 annual
shipments. The Injunction was granted Judge Dlckey
gave notice OF appeal and asked that the bond be fixed
at $4,000.

brought out statement from General WinslOw president
OF the North River Construction Company Referring to
the statement that the grades the Athens Branch Rail

above the river and from this Point 1t remains

The School Question.

EDITOR SUN Good mornings
Happy new year! Your article in
last weeks issue regarding school
matters interests me very much, as the
promotion of knowledge is a grand
work and cannot be over estimated.
We should strive to educate our
children in such a manner that they
may take respectable place III good
society, and this can be obtained in no
other way than by a thorough educa-
ton. In order to obtain this a good
common school is absolutely necessary,
that is, really good school, but !
hardly agree with you in increasing
the length of time to acquire the de-
sired end, believing as [ do that six
months good school is better than ten
months poos school viii admit, Of
course, that you did not advocate long
terms of poor school, but / think that
taxpayers and parents should urge
upon the school board the necessity of
providing good teachers. Parents
should also assist the teacher by proper
aid and encouragement, visit the
schools as often as possible and satisfy
themselves that the teacher is doing
his duty. Then the money paid ouf
for salaries, fuel and material neces-
sary to carry on the schools will not
be wasted, but we'll expended. Pay d
good teacher good wages and he will
do good work, and the schools will
not be play houses, as many regard
them, TO keep the. chilhren out Of
other mischief, but they will be what
they ought to be, places for study and
cultivation of the brain, and will pave
a good road for the journey Of life as
respectable citizens. Give us good
schools, and ses to it that they are
properly managed. a poor school is
worse than none at all but the Old
motto is, if you cannot get the best
take the next best. PARENT.
