Tilimau's liquor law received another
black eye today when Judge Bond, Of

liquors.
Hugh L. Bond. Jr., representing the
Receivers of the Richmond and Danville
Railroad and the liquor dealers who are

noxlous law, 10 mis- petition says
that the commi ssion construes the South

1892 as allowing them to make arbitrary
rates without permitting the railroads
hearing thereon. Such action would,
it is claimed. be in violation of the Con-
stitutiou of the United States.

the Police Popularity Prize.

THE NEWS Police Popularity contest is
absorbing more public attention than
ever. 1t is an unprecedented success. 1t
passes all expectations. Nearly $4,000

cided to increase the attraction OF the

ELECTRICITY AND STEAM.

There has been vigorous contest in

permits the paralleling Of existing steam
railroads. provided the courts can De
convinced that the public interests re.
Quire it In any particular eas8, which ia
perhaps the wisest disposition OF the
matter that could have been made.
Freight may be transported under similar
conditions. Our own view Of the matter
is that the steam-railroad companies will
ultimately ind it for their interest TO
control all the profitable aud well-located d
electric liues, aud will operate; them on \

tributors Of their local passenger traffic.
That this might be done in many cases,
