A MOVE is being made in. Spink
county toward restraining the officials
from again leyying such an over
powering tax as that with Eiittha which which they
oppressed the county the past year.
We trust that such a step will not be
necessary with us, but really it is a
burning shame for men who are sup
posed to have the welfare Of the people
at heart to put such q damper upon
progression and place such a premium
upon rascality and underhandedness as
our officials have. Undoubtedly,
they have done more to retard the
progress Of the county and discourage
its people than last years drouth. The
people will cherish their bitterness
until the day Of retribution comes at
the polls.

Important 10 Shippers.

The decision by Judge Blandin, at
Cleveland, a short time since, in the
case Of Shafeld, Shurmer & Teagler,
oil refners, against the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern was a great victory
for the small shippers and refners Of
loil, and, if sustained, will have a great
influence upon Dakota grain ship
ments another year. tt had been
looked forward to with great interest,
as alike important to railways and
refining companies. It was a case
where the court was asked by tile
plaintiffs to legally prohibit the rail
way company from giving discrimin-
atiye rates in favor Of the Standard
Oil company They claimed that the
Lake Shore read had been shipping
oil for the Standard company at a
lower rate than for them, which pre-
vented them from putting oil on the
market at the same figure as the
Standard, and consequently preventing
them from enlarging their business.
The defendant, the Lake Shore road,
admitted that it was carrying oil for
the Standard under a contract made
in 1879, BY which that company were
to ship all their oil over the Lake
Shore road at 10 cents per barrel
lower than for other shippers, unless
an equal amount should be shipped.
After his review, Judge Blandin gave
his decision and granted the perma-
nent Injunction as asked BY the
plaintiffs
IN plain terms, Judge Blandin held
that the road was a common carrier,
and, therefore, as q servant to the pub
lie, has no right to make secret rates
in favor of one corporation to the dis
advantage Of the public, but that its
rates should be equitable to all. a
large number of authorities were
quoted. He said the road suffers
nothing from being prevented to dis
criminate, and the public would be
greatly benefited, while, on the other
hand, il railroads are allowed to make
special rates to fayorites, it would be
the means Of bgilding up gigantic
monopolies, which would ruin the
country.
The pleaof large quantities shipped
is no excuse, he said, for in giving
lower rates to q few, it would prevent
competition by other firms. This
would allow the few to ship large
quantities and then govern The rates,
and the result would again be the
building up Of monopohes. Thecourt
4
held that the plaintiffs, even though
they be small shippers, we're entitled to
equal rates with the most favored
shippers, equal benefits and rebates,
without regard to annual shipments.
Immediately after the decision bad
been rendered, the Lake Shore gave
notice Of an appeal Of the case to a
higher court, and bond was fixed at
100000.
Should the decision be Sustained it
assures the Warner joint-stock COM
pany equal rates and privileges with
the several elevator companies who
are now plundering the farmers.

The gamblers seemed to have captured OF
tawa during the past week, and having done
so they piled their vocation in manner sur
prisingly profitable. One genius in partic.
ular, who had obtained a license to sell jewel
ry, combined his sales with most hcartless
fleeing scheme, in the way of blank tickets
portion of which were supposed to draw
prizes of money. In few minutes watching
one evening the writer saw this seller of jew
elry" which, according to his own words was
not worth two cents, coolly pocket nearly
twenty dollars on three lots of tickets and
still the infatuated "suckers" who wanted to
get something for nothing continued to snap
at the bait and invariably got left. The pro-
priety of allowing such schemes to be opera
ted on the public streets of the city is certain
ly questionable.
