An interesting question has just been
decided by our Supreme Court in the case
of Geo. II. Fitzgerald & Co. VS.. The
Grand Trunk Railway Co. 1t was an
action to recover a rebate on several cars
of lumber. The plaintiffs paid the regular
rate on the cars under an agreement that
the Railway Co. should refund or pay
plaintiffs rebate of Sc per car. Con
gress passed an act which went into
effect during the time this contract was
being executed, namely, AN Act to
Regulate Commerce, which prohibited
the payment of rebates and all discrimi-
nations in freight under heavy penalties,
and the question was whether it was an
OK post ficto law as applied to contracts
made before its passage. The Court held
that the plaintiffs could not recover on
the contract. We understand defendants
counsel contcnded that the payment OF
rebates was void at common law, but
we are not aware what the Court said
about that. We also understand that
the Supreme Court of the United States
has made similar decision.

We are not able in this issue togive the
for the Institute, but will do
so next week. We can say, however, that
no effort viii be spared to make that pro-
gramme varied, interesting and instruc-
tive. 1t was universally conceded at the
last Institute that the time spent there by
teachers was not lost time for the schools,
but that the teachers returned to their
work with renewed enthusiasm, energy,
and clearer conception of the means,
method, and aims, and best possibilities
of education. Let no teacher remain
away because some person may complain
that the school loses SO many days OF
instruction.

The new express company that was to
have commenced business last week on
the entire system of the 6. T. Ry. Co. has
been compelled to postpone operations,
it not being practicable for the railroad
company to furnish the necessary facil-
ties at present without delaying the train
service. At least this is the explanation
Z ven by the General Manager Of the G..
T. Ry., and he adds that arrangements
for an agreement with the new company
are under way, but it was not unlikely
that in view of the serious embarrass-
ments likely to arise from the operation
oftwo rival express companies, and the
delay which might accrue in consequence
to the train service of the line, the Grand
Trunk Railway might take the express
business into its hands"

NONSENSE to deny. Old people re-

government was the strongest point
in Republican campaign speeches.
Even Mr.. Blaine wns ohe Of it's ablest
defenders. We clip the following
from an exchange:
In Il speech ut Skowhegan in 1864,
j. g. Blaine taking 0 grecnbacaS out
of his .poelset and holding it up to the
audience, asked, What is this? \
dollar. And it is good dollar, good
for the farmer, the mechanic, the
merchant, the sailor, everybody
What makes it IL good dollar? Be
Cause every dollars worth of properly
in the United States is behind it, and
the life's blood Of every true and
loyal American citizen is behind it..
And that makes it good dollar. -

That's why SO many men are ieav-

country for nearly Il century, and
which hear those names, orr gnally
started out for government truly
democratic-truly republican. The
Democratic party by jefferson in its
early days was truly for republican
form of government. Machine power
became more and mere arbitrary un-
til what was democratic Organiza.

then in space of years the Machine
politicians captured it, and began to
