A RAILROAD DECISION.
Public Servants are Subject to the
Legislature
10 the Matter Of Freight Rates---lmportaat
0pinion---last Work, This Session
Of the Court Of Appeals.

The Supreme Court Of Appeals on sAsur-
day promulgated an opinion of vital inter
est and importance to railroads, holding
them rs public servants and therefore sub
ject to Legislative control in the matter OF
rents. The decision was made in the case
of the Laurel Fork and Sand Hill Railroad
Company against the West Virginia Trans
portatiou Company. The railroad company
was granted special charter BY the Legis-
lature in 1866, which permitted it to charge
rs cents per barrel for the transportation OF
oil. In 1873 the Legislature passed gen
eral act regulating the charges for freight
and passengers on all roads in the
State, which rates as fixed were lower
than the Is cent rates Of the
special charter allowance. The railroad
company sued the transportation company
for transporting oil, at the rate of IS cents
a barrel and the latter company filed an
offset at the difference between the two
rates. The Circuit Court Of Wood denied
the right of the defendant to the off'ets on
the ground that its charter protected the
railroad company and permitted it to make
the charges. The case was appealed to
the Supreme Court.
This court held, Judge Green delivering
the opinion, that the railroad company was
not protected BY its charter, which
was not q contract, but mere
privilege or license subject to
an act Of the Legislature which was con.
stitutiOual; that the right of any railroad
company to charge for transportation, no
matter what its charter may be, is sbso-
lutely under the control Of the Legislature
and one Legislature cannot bad another,
With respect TO this subject, it being gov
ernmentsl power that Legislature cannot
barter away. In promulgating this opin-
ion, the Court relied on a long line of U. ).
Supreme Court decisions, and especially
the celebrated granger cases" Of Illinois

THE GLASS LOCKOUT.
Employees Thrown oat-what the Men

Employees Thrown Out-What the Men
Expect.
The Bellaire Tribune estimates 1880 men,
boys and girls are thrown out of employ
ment by the lockout. The Elson glass
company at Martins Ferry has one large
l7.pot furnace and employs 100 hands.
Tableware goods and general line OF
glassware are made BY this company.
Buckeye works has three furnaces, and also
employs $50 persons. A larger variety of
goods is made than at the Elson- The La
Belle makes the same kind Of goods.
1t has two large furnaces and when
in full blast works about 200 hands.
The Goblet works OF Bellaire has two fur
naces and works $50 hands. Goblets IN
over 400 varieties are made. The National
works of Rodefer Bros. employs 2l5 hands.
Lamp chimneys bottles and specislties are
made. The Ktns company makes table
ware, lamps and employs $50 hands The
Belmont works employs $50 hands and
make general line of glassware. The Lam
tern Globe works makes lantern globes ex-
clusiyely, employing about 100 hands.
The men are equally confident OF victory.
The prevailing sentiment among them is
that the manufacturers wanted an excuse
to shut down, and by making this PROPOSE
ton seek to throw the blame upon the work.
men. They claim that the Ohio factories
can not afford to remain idle, and allow
the Wheeling dealers to get their trade. and
as soon as business brighteus up little the
fires will be again lit. The men also ap
pear to think they are in good position to
meet a strike. This may be true as far as
the members Of the Flint Glass Workers
Union are concerned; but the packers and
other employees who have no organization
will be the ones to suffer most from the sus-
pension. From all appearances the strike
will be protracted one.

"The mysterious couple came to board
at the City Hotel, where | was living.
Naturally they were food for the Cos
sips. After they were dOmiciled here
the wife took to her room, and l, being a
young girl, was frequently in and out of
her apartments. She was sweet, pleas
ant woman, and bore her sickness with
great fOrtitude. Her husband was ex.
ceedingly kind, and nearly always at
her side. She would rally occasionally,
and then would be quite cheerful She
often lOnged for her home. but never
gave the slightest intimatiOn of where
1t was. Once she spoke of her mother,
and took picture from her trunk and
showed it to me. The likeness was that
of splendid-lOoking lady whom the in
valid but slightly resembled. This was
the first and only time she spoke of her
parents.
AS the Summer wore on the strange
lady's health grew worse, and finally 1t
was evident that she would live but a
short time. Week by week became q
more frequent visitor to her room, but
with all our association she never per-
mitted the least familiarity. About a
month before she died, and when she
was very sick, was doing some kindly

SONGS NEVER SUNG.

"How does that verse run? Something like
this, isn't it?
There are who touch the magic string,
And noisy fame is proud to win them;
Alas! for hose who never sing,
But die with all their music in them.'"
''Yes, that's beautiful pathetic and true"
said your representative. 1.-THE poet alludes to
people who are somehow suppressed, and never
get their full allowance of joy and air. Which
reminds me of letter shown me the other day
by HIsCOx Il Co., of New York, signed by Mr..
e. G. Williams, Of Chapman, Snyder q Co.,
Pa, a prominent business man Of that place.
He writes:
81 have suffered with asthma for over forty
years, and had terrible attack in December
and January, 1882. I hardly know what
prompted me to take PARKER'S Tonic. / did
so, and the first day took four doses. The
effect astOnished me. That night slept as II
nothing was the matter with me, and have
ever since. have had colds since, but no
asthma. Ny breathing is now as perfect as II
had never known that disease. If you know
of any one who has the asthma tell him in my
name that PARKER's Tonic will cure it-even
after forty years" There was man who es-
capped the fate OF those whom the poet laments.
This preparation, which has heretofore been
known as PARKER's GINGER Tonic, will here
after be advertised and sold under the name Of
PARKER's Tonic. Inasmuch as ginger is really
an unimportant Ingredient and unprincipled
dealers are constantly deceiving their customers
by substituting inferior preparations under the
name OF ginger, we drop the misleading word.
There Is no change, however, In the prepare
ton itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands of dealers, wrapped under the name of
PARKER's GINGER TONIC contain the genuine
medicnei II the facsimile signature OF HIsCox q
