Railroad Fares in Austria.

The Austrian government, which
owns it's railroads, has adopted as the
unit charge for third-class accOmmOda-
ton trains one kreutzer per kilOmeter,
or about two-t thirds of cent mile.
The first zone covers distance of ten
kilOmeters, or six miles, so that the
smallest fare actually paid is &c. For
each additional six miles, up to thirty.
a.. more ale charged. The next two
zones are nine miles in width, involving
in such cases &c. additional to the fare.
The next zone covers twelve miles, with
81. charge; each additional zone covers
thirty miles, with zoe. extra charge.
The fare for the secOnd-class is twice
that for third, and that for first-class
three times the third. On express trains
80 per cent. is added to all fares.
So IN Austria a man can travel one
hundred miles for 6ec.--twO-thirds of
cent mile The Iowa legislature
thinks two cents mile too low, and re-
fused TO legislate for it, while the black
despotism of Austria gives Transports
ton for twO-thirds of 4 cent mile
Iowa Tribune.
See the difference there is between a
government controlled by black despOt-
ism and one that is controlled by white
despotism. Black despotism is on the
principle of live and let live. White
despOtism is the principle of live by rob-
bling the public. Our law-making au-
thOrities would look better in the eyes
of the world if they were enacting laws
on the prisciple of live and let live.

HUMANITY has reached the point
where il must re-arm itself for the
battles before it. The old outfit must
be changed for wiser and better
equipments and move OH rapidly.
We cannot retrace our steps because
Pharaoh is in our rear. We cannot
stand still lest he overtake us and
subject us to the old bondage. If we
90 forward, we must take up arms
against sea of difficulties; but if we
step bravely into the food it will
separate for our deliverance and close
again for destruction of our enemies.

road case, the decision in the dressed
beef inspection cases and that in tn
original package case.
OF the dressed beef decision, an ex-
change says:
"rhe supreme couIt's decision of the
Minnesota cattle inspection case may
not be generally satisfactory but it was
very generally expected. The decision
equally applicable to the acts of other
states requiring inspection on hOOf-
None of these laws are now enforceable
and, what is far more serious, under the
decision in the Iowa and Michigan cases
the state cannot inspect and condemn
dead meat shipped from another state
and sold by agents of shipper. A butch
er who kills his own meat or buys dis
eased me at from Chicago could have his
stock condemned, but if he acted as
agent for tho dressed beef syndicate, he
would be exempt under the theory OF
the recent prohibition decision. How
far the supreme court would apply that
theory as a general rule is questionable.
In it's recent decisions it is developing a
remarkable disposition to try the princi-
pie by the case rather than the case by
the principle.
"No doubt the regulation of commerce
between the states is proper subject
for national legislation. Without such
protection AS might be afforded by the
power lodged in the national govern
ment it might be possible for the peO-
pie OF one state to discriminate injuL.
iOusly against those of another. 1t is
right and proper then thar the CONNER
cial interests of each state should be
protected by national law, but when a
court interprets the constitution to mean
that under this national interstate regu-
lation, the citizen of any state, not his
own, that are not permitted TO the citi-
zens of that state, by the laws of the
state, we think it is carrying things al
together too far.
.'Such is the real intent of these re-
cent decisions; especially of the dressed
beef, and original package liquor decis-
ion. The state of Missouri may make
regulations AS to the inspection OF live
or dressed meat, binding upon all the
citizens of the state; but if the Chicago
Big Four choose to ship their meats into
the state, they must be free of inspec-
ton for fear of interfering with inter-
state commerce. SO with liquor in KAN
sas and Iowa. Those states have passed
laws prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors and now comes the supreme
court and says that the citizens of other
states than Kansas or Iowa can ship and
sell liquor either through resident agents
or otherwise in those states, while the
citizens of the states themselves cannot.
On point of law we cannot undertake
to make an issue with the supreme court,
but while it may be a good law, it is
mighty poor justice that requires any
state to treat the citizens of other states
better than her own.
1--WE do not believe in lightly making
changes i'm nations organic law, but if
our constitution makes it possible for
monopoly to defy state laws or renders
of 10 effect the police regulations Of a
state, it is evidently time for the consti-
tuition to be amended. or Ag-

Miss Grace Gardner's many friends in
Hillsboro will be glad to hear of her
success away from home. Her present
lot has thrown her among music lovers.
At musical recital given at the College
Belmont, near Nashville, Tenn, where
she has been teaching, Miss Gardner was
the very acceptable vocalist. The people
OF Nashville, like all Southerners, are
nthusiastic-extra trains, campus full
of carriages and crowded hall of the
cultured and critical, showed their
interest in the College and particularly
in the musical department. The Nash
vile american compliments Miss Gardner
in a very happy manner. Purity of tone,
sweetness of voice, fine culture and good
methods are dwelt on. Miss Gardner, as
is known by her more intimate friends,
has been studying to make the most of
her talent-undergoing severest physical
and vocal drill under the best western
masters. Having always at home been
accommodating and generous in "lend-
ing her voice" for charity, church and
social entertainments, we are sure her
friends will wish her every success i'll
the future.

Mr.. VIM. Lloyd, formerly merchant
OF this place, and recently employed as
a brakeman on the B. & o. S..W. Rail

wood early last Friday morning. He
slipped from the step of the locomotive
and fell beneath the wheels, which
passed over him crushing both legs. He
was removed to the hospital at Cincin-
natl, where it was found necessary to
amputate one leg. The other may be
saved. He at one time kept grocery
in town and was in prosperous circum.
stances.
LATER.-Word was received on Wed.

CAN'T PAY OUT.
Several Highland County Farmers
Taken In by Live Stock
Insurance 20.

Last fall Mr.. Stuart Hamilton, of Bel
fast, lost valuable horse which was
insured for 81 900 in the Phoenix Live
Stock Insurance Co., of Columbus. O.
E Putnam, agent of the company, came
and promised the insurance would be
paid within sixty days, at the same
time insuring two more horses for
Hamilton and for Jno. Y. Dean and
others Last week dispatch to the
Enquirer stated that the Attorney
General had peen instructed to bring
an action in quo aOarronto against the
company. This aroused the suspicion
of Hamilton and others who had insured,
and H. D Davis was sent to Columbus
to ascertain the standing of the company.
In company with Mr.. E. N. Higgins
Mr.. Davis called at the Office of Vice.
President Ogden, and fouId upon in
quiry that Ogden had been appointed
receiver by the court of Champaign coun-
ty. Application had also been filed in
Franklin by the secretary for the ap
pointment Of receiver. 1t was found
that they have nothing to meet their
obligations and the furniture of their
office was covered by chattel mortgage.
Action has been taken to oust Ogden
and have the business put into the hands
of a dsinterested party. If possible
Putnam, the agent, will be brought here
to answer for obtaining money under
false pretenses. 1t is thought tnat they
have taken between $500 aud $500 out
of the county within the last year
Quite number of farmers and promi
nent stock men have been defrauded
and are determined to have the matter
investigated. No blame attaches to locaI
agents, rs the company had entirely mis-
represented things to them.
