Declsien II the Illinois Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners

Wareh0U1o COmmlooiOnSxD,
In the matter Of the. communication
OF the secretary Of the state grange Of
Illinois dated Jan. 1. 1897, embodying .
resolution of that body adopted at its
December meeting. 1896. asking the
ooard OF railroad and warehouse COM
UtsSioners to reduce the passenger
rate from three (O cents to two (2)
cents per mile, the commission Is II
the opinion that to do so at this time
would be unwise and unwarranted and
would be unjust to the railroad inter-
est OF the state. While some of the
great trunk lines in Illinois might be
able to stand such a reduction, yet the
smaller roads. and those which do
almost wholly a local business. and
which are now and have been for the
last two years struggling for exist
ence. would be most seriously affected
by it.
Such action on our part would SIM
ply increase the heavy burdens under
which they are staggering now. It IL
q well-known fact to those who have
taken the trouble to investigate the
amount of passenger business done by
the railroads in Illinois during the past
two years that there has been q large
decrease in the number Of passengers
carried. This is due in our judgment
not to the amount charged for such
service but to the general depression
In all lines Of business. the low prices
OF farm products and the unsettled
financial conditions which have had
their eject on the passenger a. well
as the freight business.

property has not paid even q fair in

ton was before US when We revised

neither do We feel now that in Justice
to both the public and the railroads.
because each should stand on the same
equality before the law. this reduction
should be made at this time. II the
country was prosperous our conclu-
sions might be different.
The statistics in our Office show that
for the past three years. 1894. 1895 and
1896. the average amount charged by
the railroads per passenger mile Is q
fraction above two cents. although the
maximum allowed them was three
cents.
For the reasons above stated We do
not feel that this reduction should be
made at this time. We are also asked
to recommend this reduction to the
legislature. In view of our conclusion
we do not feel that it would be con-
sistent for us to do so: however. the
legislature has the power to regulate
the maximum rate which can be
charged for passenger service and we
leave the matter to their wisdom.

Few people in these busy days are willing

see why this calendar is so great favorite:
The figures on it are large enough to be read

makes it worthy of place in the best fur
nished Office or library. while 1t is business
like all the way through. The publishers
state that the demand for this calendar has

EDDCAa klN14L MATTERS.
All is not harmon in the school
board Of Iberia parish. Judging
from the proceedings of meeting
of that body 1t would seem that
there has arisen disagreement be-
tween Superintendent Pierson and a
majority of the board. The latter
favor plan which places Prof.
Keeney, principal of the New Iberia
High School, practically in charge
of the schools of the parish, giving
him certain powers which hereto
fore belonged to the superintendent.
DR.. Pierson opposed the plan on
the ground that 1t conf1icted with
his duties as superintendent. The
doctor also questioned the legality
of the measure and stated to the
board before the adoption of the
resolutions that he would like to ap-
peal to the State authorities for
some light on the subject, but the
majority of the board favored the
new plan and it was adopted despite
the objections of the superinten-
dent. The advocates of the plan,
President Lawton and Director
Weeks, argued that it is Gin line
with the progressive and well-regu-
lated school systems of those States
of the Union which lead in matters
educational; and that it is not an
innovation in Louisiana, Calcasieu
parish, under the identical plan,
having forged its way to the front
rank in educational advancement"
1t remains to be seen how this
plan will work. 1t curtails the du-
ties of the superintendent, and
gives to Prof Keeny the manage
ment of the public schools of Iberia
parish. New Iberia has been one
of the foremost towns in the State
in matters of education and the re-
suit Of the new arrangement will be
watched with interest.

The Lafayette Gazette Of the sd
inst. contains tribute to the late
Mr.. Chas. A. Thomas, who died re-
Gently at his home in ST. Martins
vile. Mr.. Thomas was one of the
founders of the Gazette, and was
a newspaper man of character,
force and ability who was beloved
by all who knew him. When the
writer first timid1y entered the
field as STRIPPING in journalism on
the staff of the now defunct Acadia
Sentinel Mr.. Thomas was the man
ager and Mouton, Of the Gazette,
was his associate. The respect for
his ability and admira ton for his
character then formed we have
never since had occasion to revise,
but on the contrary, they have
grown with the flight of time. Sim
cere, open hearted, brave and true,
Charley Thomas was friend of
whom any man might well be proud
and the news of his death fills us
with grief. The world has too few
such men as he was aud his de-
parture leaves a void il the hearts
of many which can never be filed.
