Good Piece of News.
WESTERN CANADA.

The best temperance news, as usual,
comes from Ontario, where not only
the plebiscite in prospect, but the gov
eminent reports of the past give us
cheer. The licenses have been reduced
from 5000 in 1877, to 5000, in 1897. In
1884, the commitals for drunkenness
were one for every 423; in 1897, one for
every 702. OF the S12 municipalities
1877 have no license. But let not On
tar1o's government use these statistics
as arguments against improvements in
her liquor laws. THE better is a great
enemy of the best" Another cheering
item of Canada news is the organiza-
ton in Toronto by the unions Of the
Young Peoples Societies of a Christian
Citizenship Federation to influence
municipal and provincial elections.

REVERSED THE ORDER.
Judge Donovan Makes Decision in Pin
gree VS.. the Michigan Central

Judge Donovan Makes Decision in Pin
gree VS.. the Michigan Central.
Detroit, Mich, Feb. 5.-Judge Dono
van of the circuit court has reversed
the issuance of mandate against the
Michigan Central railroad in a suit
brought by Governor Pingree to COM
pei the railroad company to sell him a
1,O00-mile mileage book good not only
for himself but for any member of his
family. Judge Donovan reviewed the
railroads contention, viz, that under
its special charter the company was
granted the privilege OF fixing its own
rates of fares, which privilege. how
ever, was claimed by the state to be
indefpite as the roads charter merely
gave the company power to fixed rates
by laws and only reasonable rates
could be fixed as under such power all
rules touching the welfare and duty of
their property. comfort and /
happiness, can be regulated by law,
this being true of hackmen. millers,
common carriers, liquor /
deas>rs and all others doing business
publicly.
The case will be cnrried to the
supreme court of the United States,
and IS one of several brought by the
governor against corporations to cor
-ecs what he deems unjust practices. ;

wHAr1rs A SILVER roLlARq
Courts VIII Decide Whether Congress Can
Change lis Weight.

Detroit, Mich, Feb Fred A.
Baker. a prominent attorney of De-
troit, has filed an answer to suit
brought against him in the Oakland
county circuit court, involving the
constitutionality of the Bland-Allison
act and other laws pertaining to silver
as legal tender
Stephen Baldwin bought farm mp
on which Mr.. Baker held mortgage
that became due to the amount of 1894,
including interest. Mr.. Baldwin ten
dered Mr.. Baker 364 silver dollars, and
asked for the cancellation of the mort
gage. Mr.. Baker refused to surrender
the mortgage for the 364 silver dol
lars, but agreed to cancel it if he re-
ceived enough silver dollars to equal,
at the present bullion value of silver,
364 gold dollars. This condition was
declined by Mr.. Baldwin, and he filed
a suit in equity, asking for a decree
commanding Mr.. Baker to cancel the
mortgage in view of the tender made.
In the answer Mr.. Baker submits
that under the power "to coin money;
regulate the value thereof; and of for
eign coins and fix the standard of
weights and measures the congress of
the United States has no more author
ity or power, as far as pre-existing
contracts for the payment of money
are concerned, to diminish or increase
the number of grains of pure gold or
pure silver in the dollar, in which a
contract has been lawfully expressed,
than it has as to pre-existing contracts

ounce or the number of ounces in a
pound, or the number of inches in a
'oot, or feet in a yard, or to change
my other standard of weights and
measures. Several of the leading at
'orneys of Detroit are interested in the
use.
