The Railroad Rental.

\ question which, like that of water sup
ply, Interests every citizen and tax payer is
the disposition to be made of the railway rental
BY agreement the matters at issue were left to
the law court, and after the usual delay in such
cases a decision was rendered weeks ago, and
people are now asking what is to be done
Several plans have been talked of. One is to
divide the rental, leaving the debt to be provided
for when it becomes due by issuing per cent
bonds. Another to pay no dividends until the
mortgage OF 100000 can be paid off. The
advocates of this plan contend if this is done
thu preferred stock will bring 1870, and the
holders can sell out and thus realize an equva-
lentto six per cent dividends for the five years;
that thu preferred would then be a six per cent.
stock. and the non-preferred only a fraction less.
otlL another plan is to set aside the accumulat-
ed rental now in the treasury for the payment
of interest on the debt and to pay out future
earnings, beginning next year, in dividends.
But what the public would like to know,
authoritative, is the plan that is to be adopted
whether one of these outlined OF some other,
and it involves the rate of taxation, and
affects business enterprises, we think the infor-
nation should not longer be withheld.
Elsewhere we print a communication on this
subject received since the above article was in
/ type.

The law court renders a verdict that the defendants

The facts connected with the pauper', leaving
her father home in Waldo while she was minor,
fail not only to show that the father had renquish,

/ be rectted at the coming election of officers.
/ The writer is not Granger, nor is the Journal
a Grange organ but as a local newspaper
| friendly to the Order, recognizing its useful

and prosperity it could do no less than call at
