Judge Donovan Orders a Manda-
mus Against the Michigan
Central.
Road Under State Police Power.
Notwithstanding a Special
Charter.
Suit Brought to Compel Issuance
of 1000 Mile Family Tickets
at $40.

DETROIT, Feb. Z. Judge Donovan of
the circuit court has ordered issuance
OF a mandamus against the Michigan
Central railroad in the suit brought by
Governor Pingree to compel the rail.
road company to sell him q 1000 mile
ticket, good not only for himself, but
for any member of his family, for $40.
In the opinion rendered, Judge Don.
ovan reviewed the railroad colnpany's
contention, viz, that under it's special
Charter the company was granted the
privilege OF fixing it's WI rate OF fares,
which privilege, however, was claimed
by the state to be indefinite, as the
roads charter merely gave the company
power to fix fares by bylaws, and, if SO,
under police power, only reasonable
rates could be fixed, as under such
power, all rules touching tho welfare
and duty of citizens, their property,
comfort and happiness, can be regu-
lated by law, this being true Of hack
men, millers, toll roads, common car.
riers. liquor dealers and all others doing
public business.
ut is also," said the court, "claimed
for the state that the Michigan Central
secured control of various branches,
and reported to the state vast holdings
with these roads, amounting in fact to
a consolidation with some six or eight
lesser lines. That these branch lines
We're built by the Michigan Central or
are held by stock or mortgages in va
rious ways by the company is not
clearly designated in their state re-
ports"
Judge Donovan cited a report Of Il
New Jersey case in which it was held
that similar acts mean a consolidation,
and pointed out the fact that the fed.
eral courts have held in a case from
Georgia, bearing on exclusive rights by
charter to charge a 5.cent fare that the
legislature still has power to govern the
rate. He also quoted Chief Justice
Waite as having said that when one
devotes property to public use he
must be controlled by the public laws.
Judge Donovan quoted several deci.
sions of the United States supreme
court, under which the right to rogu-
late fares and charges was reserved to
the state. He concluded that the Mich
igan Central is still under police power.
reserved to the state, and that the COM
pany cannot fix rates by bylaws repug-
nant to the laws of the state.
1t is clearly settled law that the com.
pany's whole system is under state law
and state control. It cannot escape
state statutes by its bylaws, which con-
tlict with the constitutional require
mentS.

to the circumstances under which
American fruit is imported. Professor
Frank, on Jan. 20, found on Cali.
fornia pears arriving at Hamburg
numerous living, breeding shield lice,
absolutely identical with the true San
Jose louise. Flo consequently expressed
the opinion that the home fruit cultiva.
ton was exposed to u grave material
danger thereby. A conference of the
other specialists and the representatives
of the imperial Office of health con-
firmed this view in every particular.
Thus the necessity for prompt meas.

The Reichsanzeiger then described
the ''extraordinary harmfulness" of the
San Jose louise according to publica-
lions of the Washington agricultural
department and the measures taken in
America, notably in Oregon and Brit.
tsh Columbia, and continues: ''It is
thus the unavoidable duty of the gov.

of ''atiected" American fruit has been

A Manly Girl.

He laid the bicycle back in the ditch
and swore softly. He had ridden the
machine for a year; familiarity with
the possibilities of a puncture had bred
contempt, and he had ceased to carry
even the sixpenny repairing outfit in
its little brass box. And now, this
blue, cloudless September day, the
hedgers had been at work: clippings
of rose and bramble and hawthorn
strewed the lanes; he was eleven miles
from anywhere. and his bicycle was
punctured.
His immediate future mapped itself
out with dismal distinctness. \ Pipe

should require the exercise of elemen-
tary morality in the distribution of a
mans wealth, and leave as little room
rs possible for unjust disposal. 1t is
the first duty of a father to provide for
his children, and of husband for his
wife. But the effect of will may con-
travene either or both of these obliga-
tions and leave wife and children pau
pers. 1t is true that, generally, natu-
raj affection and proper sense of duty
will urge father or husband to do
what is right. But numberless cases
occur to the contrary, and it must not
be forgotten that laws are made only
for those who require them. The just
and upright do not need them, for these
are law unto themselves But for
the weak-minded, the immoral, and the
selfwilled, it is necessary that they
should to a proper extent be restrained
from the power to do evil The pres.
ent system of will-making, however,
offers such testators every encourage,
ment to injustice. For it arms them
with so despotic Il power over their
wealth that few such natures can with
stand its corrupt tendency. And thus
all sorts Of scheming and designing
parasites, whether related or unrelated,
are enabled to conspre in robbing a
mans nearest and dearest ones of their
just claims of Inheritance. Besides
this it often renders man tyrannous
and choleric towards his household
during his life, and incites him to take
cowardly advantages of the fears of his
family. Many rich mans wife trem-
bles for her future, not knowing what
her fate may be should he die first, be-
cause it is in his power to leave her
penniless and homeless, no matter how
humbly she may have always yielded
to his wishes. His children, too, feel
his power, and learn to dissemble and
deceive. Thus the ties of nature and
Of affection are gradually snapped un-
til all secretly wish for the day of his
death. From the moment when the
Roman laws encouraged and upheld
t,y,I oil hos hot Il off
were everywhere felt. The poets and
satirists of those times tell us that a
new profession arose, namely, legacy
hunting. Worthless wretches dogged
the footsteps ofthe aged rich, pandered
to their every wish, fattered every
weakness, and strove by all the cum
ming they knew, aud all the grovelling
baseness OF which they were capable,
to ingratiate themselves with them for
the sake of good legacy. Horace
says TO the wealthy and selfish sick
man: Your wife does not wish you to
be well, nor does your son-all your
neighbors hate you. :. Do you won-
der when you set aside all things for
if no one displays towards you
the love which you do not deserve"
Miserable alike for the living and
the dead is power SO liable to abuse,
which can thus blight the purest aftec-
tions of humanity, and divert the
noblcst instincts from their natural
channels. And ifby any change oflaw
these evils can be avoided or minimised,
nothing should be allowed to hinder so
lust an improvements.
