THE RIGHTS OF LITIGANTS
A Decision Regarding Costs in the

10 Local Justices of the Peace.
The decision Of Chief Justice Bingham,

IN its effects. and should settle the ques-

In the present instance the matter was
called to the attention Of Chief Justice
Bingham on the petition Of Manders for
a writ Of certiorari, in a suit brought
against him by Skinner as trustee.

II was contended that the present case
was distinguished from that because the

juror at 81 per day and as the deposit
demanded was for sum determined ny

asserted the right Of his client To have

Of the justice Of the peace to exact from
him any payment Of or deposit for costs
and. therefore, refused 10 make such de-
posit.
Counsel for the plaintiff also refused 10
make the deposit upon the ground that
the deposit must be made by the party to

Upon the refusal of both parties TO make
the deposit the justice oT the peace direct
ed that the trial of the cause he pro-

therein. and Withdrew from the court
whercupon the justice of the peace pro-

Manders thereupon sued out of the Su-
pTeme Court Of the District Of Columbia
a writ of certiorari to bring the said cause
before the said court and have the same
reviewed and the proceedings before the
Justice OF the peace quashed and annulled.

SWALLOW THE B. & o.
Pennsylvania Will Destroy the Iden-
tlty of an Old System.

Tt is the prevailing opinion in rail-
way circles that the Baltimore & Ohio
system will soon be entirely absorbed
by the Pennsylvania, and that the man
agement of the latter will be extended
over the former. This would involve a
shift of several hundred officers of high
and low rank in the service of the old
Baltimore & Ohio
Since the Pennsylvania became the
controller of the Baltimore & Ohio there
has been evidence that the former was
attempting in every way possible to
bury the identity of the latter. It is
even said that the name of the Balti-
more & Ohio may be abandoned and
that of the Pennsylvania substituted.
Gradually the Pennsylvania has been
extending its jurisdiction over the
management of the Baltimore & Ohio.
Systems of accounting and established
customs in traffic arrangements of the
latter have given way to Pennsylvania
forms.
The two big systems have long ceased
to be competitors even in the mildest
sense. The Pennsylvania is the domi
nant power and no action of the Bal
timore & Ohio is taken without the APP
proval of its new owner.
There is every reason why the Penn
sylvania should attempt to bury the
Baltimore & Ohio. The two systems
have been the principal roads in the
icago-Pittsburg. Washington-Balt
more. Philadelphia-N New York business,
ton that the Pennsylvania bought a
controlling interest in the Baltimore &
Ohio. 1t has been the history of the
Pennsylvania that whenever it bought
another road the identity of the latter
was sooner or later lost.
