BALTIMORE, July A.-The attorneys of the
Baltimore and Ohio road are preparing an an
swer to the complaint made against the COM
pany by the Pittsburg. Cincinnati and st. Louis
Railroad, alleging that the Baltimore and
Ohio's club rate of cents mile for parties Of
40 or more is illegal. The complaint has been
filed with the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, and the B. & o. has been allowed 20 days
from July l3 in which to give its answer. Pas
senger agents will probably take no action in
the premises, but are expected to leave the
matter in the hands of the commission. The
made by one railroad against another has no
standing, and expects to be able to prove it to
the satisfaction of the members of the commits
sion. If they should be compelled to argue the
question, it will be denied that the club rate,
which can be taken advantage of by anybody,
discriminates against individuals. The fact
that the higher rate has seriously interfered
with theatrical and other similar ventures will
be brought out before the commission.

Drake has been prominently indenti- fled with the Republican party in Pima county and has we'll and faithfully ser ved the people in the various offices of trust toIwhich they have elected him. His eminent services in the last legisla ture, when as president of the Council, he was largely instrumental in holding that body together and scoring a grand victory for the republicans, that will eventually give them the absolute con- trol of territorial affairs, would alone entitle him to this merited recognition at the hands of his party and friends. We therefore hope that, when change is made, Mir. Drake will be the man. He is in every way eminently qualified for the duties of the office, has the confi- dence of the people and would serve the government with zeal and ability.
