Decision on Railway Passenger Service

SPIINGFIELD, Ills, Jan. ls.-The su.
preme court has rendered a decision
against the ST. Louis, Alton and Terre
Haute Railway company, compelling a
better passenger service. The court holds
that where railroads operate mixed trains
for passengers and freight it is against the
statutes of the state. and such service is
inadequate. Service must be provided for
Passengers, mail and express exclusively.

tration annually secures in fat office a
Democrat for judge OF probate, Demo-
crat for town clerk and Democrat for
town treasurer. II is msgnanimous, to be
sure, OF the overwhelming Republican
majority in the town to support these
Office holders, but considering that these
offices contribute the choicest bits of
patronage that are available, the Republi :
can organization that supports the Demo-
cratic incumbents has no consistent rea-
son for finding fault II Democratic fellow
citizens of Senator MERRILL choose to
support him at the polls.
AS to the charge that the leaders OF the
regular, and heretofore and maybe now,
all powerful Republican organization
in Cranston, propose to secure the adop-
tion of city ehsrter from the Assem-
bly, without permitting the question TO
come before the people we can only ex-
press the opinion that If such an attempt
was contemplated no Republican General
Assent bly, would strike such blow at
local option and home rule as to pass the
measure; albeit, in view of the defeat Of
the city charter proposition last year, and
of the evident fact that the opposition
would be even stronger on another trial,
the supporters OF the movement could
have no other hope for success except to
ask the Assembly to ride roughshod
over the townspeople.
On the whole, while we repeat we do
not think the Republicans OF Cranston
regard these demands and charges seri-
ously as campaign issues, 1t would APP
pear that il any explanations are in order
they should come from the supporters OF
MIR. SrANELY rather than from Senator
MERRILL's constituency.
Senator MERRILL is apparently all right
so long as he saws wood. His supporters
in the Republican party know exactly
what he stands for and what the battle
is for. Indeed Senator MERRILL, sc far
from being open to accusations of being
an indefinite and doubtful quantity, has,
it appears to us, suffered at the hands of
the party lesders because he has been too
outspoken and has not hesitated enough
believe he should have left undone.

Both sides to the Republican struggle
for supremacy and the favor Of the party
in Cranston are keeping notably quiet.
The regulars" whom Mr.. STANLEY rep
resents, are said to be calling somew hat
loudly upon the "bolters," whom sena-
tor MERRILL represents, to state their
case, while the latter are quiet under the
REGULARS" is really what is Que to dis
cover their reasons for turning down an
able legislator, conscientious town
official and a strong Republican in their
caucus. The REGULARS" for instance,
want Senator MERRILL to clear himself of
a supposititious charge OF atii !iating with
Democrats, while the "bolters" demand
to know IL II is true that, in event OF his
election, Candidate sTANLEY will endeav-
or to have the General Assembly mako
city oct of Cranston without referring
the matter TO the electors OF tho town
itself.
We doubt IL Republicans in Cranston
are disposed 10 regard either of these
campaign calls as serious issues. The
issues in the campaign are really behind
mueh Of the campaign talk, ana every Re
publican i'm Cremation knows instinetfvelv.
from familiarity with the affairs of his
town what the issues are. II is hardly In
the power OF tn, REGULARS" 10 make
much capital out % charging Senator
MERRILL with Democratic affiliations
since the regular organization in the
promotion Of its affairs and the further
ing Of its power in holding the admins

STERLING SILVER.

The xndictments of such concerns as
TIFFANY & Company, WHITING a. Com
pany, doRHAM Manufacturing Company.
and THEODORE b. STARR, for violating
the New York State law relative to sell
ing articles OF silverware marked sister
ling" that are below the statutory stand
ard OF 925-i00o of pure silver, naturally
has created something of sensation.
We have before referred to the agita-
tion seeking to protect the public In It's
purchase of silver which was behind
bill introduced into the Rhode Island
General Assembly and that secured the
passage OF law In New York prohibit
ing the marking of the word sterling"
on any articles not up to fixed grade OF
fineness. The agitation was directed
against the free use of the term sister
lingo by irresponsible manufacturers and
the sale OF articles so marked over the
retail counter. At the time advo Gates of
the law produced articles bought from
general stores to demonstrate how
little pure silver was to be found in many
such articles that were stamped as "sterl'
ing" and the New York Assembly fixed
the meaning of the word "sterling" and
in provision OF the penal code prohibited
its use where the silver article was below
the stated grade of fineness.
Following the adoption of the law
number OF the big dry goods concerns in
New York, were indicted for its violation,
but they were never brought to trial.
The dry goods merchants say they were
indicted on evidence procured by the pur-
chase OF sundry articles from their stores
which they had purchased from the man
ufacturers on their guarantee that they
were sterling. and they strenuously OBJ
jected to have their regulations for hon
est dealing brought into question under
the circumstances. The finding Of the
indictments against the Irregular" silver
manufacturers is regarded by the latter
as a retaIiatory thrust on the part of the
large department stores which were in
dicted for the same offence on the testi-
mony OF an alleged agent of the manu-
facturers. The articles which were offered
In evidence before the grand jury are
small things, such as pencils and cuff
buttons, and the claim is that, tested by
the assayers, because 30 much solder
must be used in proportion to their sizes
when all Is melted in retort, the whole
will necessarily fall below the standard OF
nine hundred aud twenty-five thou
sandths pure silver. In the case of the
pencils and similar articles 1t is often
necessary to employ steel in making the
inside sliding tube, which, of course,
lowers the percentage OF pure silver
when thrown into melting pots There
are evidently several fine points about the
manufacture of and trade in "sterling"
silver, and the department store appear
to have the call on the manufacturers.
