GRADUATING EXERCISES.

Ga Friday evening of last week
occurred the commencement exercis ;
es for the successful eighth grade
pupils Of the county schools. The
exercises opened with an invocation
by Very Rev. j. F. Hogan, which
was followed by a vocal solo by
Miss Bird Converse, Of Lake Preston.
And, by the way, Miss Converse is a
vocalist of more than ordinary ability.
The principal feature of the even
ing was the address by Mrs. Emma
Mont McRae, of Purdue university
The lady occupies the chair of Eng
lish literature in that institution and
has occupied it for years, which, of
itself, proves her to be of high
ability. Such an address we never
before had the pleasure of listening
to in this city. The lady is broad of
mind and the ideas expressed were
full of good common sense and ad-
vice to the young graduates. She
spoke of the benefits to be derived
from an education, especially the
right kind of a higher education, aud
of the possibility Of securing higher
education il the young man or wo-
man possessed the required deter
mination. The higher education, as
measured by Mrs. Mont McRae's
standard, is not that sort which con-
ssts mostly OF ''fuss and feathers, =
but that education along practical
lines which will help the man or wo-
man to do more for themselves and
for humanity than they would

SOME CONCRETE CASES.

The anonymous railroad contribu-
tor to the current Outlook whose in
teresting statements were referred
to in these columns yesterday, gives
some specific instances of discrimin
alton against localities, by which be
says, natural markets are being
gradually replaced by those artif-
cially controlled He cites the rates
made to southern points on refined
oil. From Lima, Ohio, in the cen
ter of the oil producing fields, the
rate to Mobile, Ala, is 32.5 cents.
From Chicago to Mobile, practically
the same distance, the rate is %
cents. The explanation is that a
Standard Oil refinery is located at
Chicago, to which oil is pumped in
pipe lines from Lima and the sur
rounding territory.
A still more glaring discrimination
is shown in corn rates to the sea-
board. From Omaha and Council
Bluffs to New York, l,400 miles the
rate is l3 cents hundred. From
Denison, Ogden, and Boone, Iowa,
three points distant from New York
l.34l, 1858, and | ,252 miles, respec
lively, the rate is % cents. The
railroads are charging nearly dou BILE
the rate for shorter haul, with no
apparent reason except to favor the
larger market. The location of the
Iowa towns will not permit of any
argument like that Of lake and rail
competition, for these towns are as
much nearer the lakes as they are
to New York. They are practically J
as near the gulf ports as the favored
cities on the Missouri
These tariffs would make good
material for reflection on the part OF
railroad officials who scoff at the ig
norance Of government officials and
commissions. 1t is hard to see how a
commission could do worse, and, 10
fact, the proposed law would not
give them an opportunity Itwould
only give the government q chance

to correct such injustice. As the
Outlook writer points out, the tariffs
cited are not transgressions of the
present law, and yet more gross,
manifest unreasonable discrimina-
tiou' aud unreasonable preferences
would be hard to contrive. ii have
been unable" " he says, "to find any
man acquainted with the transporta.
ton business in the middle west who
was willing to say that either Of
these tariffs WAS based on the com
mercal value of the services render
ed, the standard agreed upon by
the international congress,
The article cites another kind of
abuse coming under the head Of a
midnight tariff" A grain merchant
last spring accumulated about twen
ty million bushels of corn in his ele
yators, and when he had them full
tariff was filed reducing the cost
Of his hanl to market by 2 cents a
bushel. He had evidently bought
the grain under bargain with the
railroad by which this tariff was to
be filed, aud SO was acting with an
unfair advantage over competitors.
The opponents of the railroad rate
legislation are fond Of denying the
general statements regarding abuses
of rate making power, and demand
ing bill of particulars. How will
the foregoing do for samples?-

The Brookings Individual takes a
proper fall ont of the INDEPENDENT
editor by calling Us green horn
and the like It's all because we
told about the condition Of the col,
lege farm buildings and the stock we
saw there. We feel properly roasted
by the estimable editor of the lndi-
vidual, and we shall never have the
audacity to comment on anything
where that gentleman will have a
chance to come back at US. How
ever, we told a part Of the truth
about the shiftless condition in which
we found things at the time Of our
visit-the whole truth would have
taken too much space and would
have made the reputation OF the col
lege that much worse. The Individ
ual says that Prof Wilson has
charge of the farm. Well, Prof
Wilson is out of his element, if he
does have charge of it. He draws a
large salary for very poor service
rendered, in, so far as his services per-
tain to the management of the col
lege farm. He is to sbiftless as to
appearances, and does not take prop
er care of some of the stock as we
have mentioned before, the Individ
uaPs sop to Wilson to the contrary

THAT portion of the press of the
state which has taken upon their
shoulders the fixing of the railroad
rates has undertaken big job. The
rate question is big one-one that
the best are at loss to know how
to handle. All we pretend to know
is that there are evils. Whether the
government can handle them better
than the railroads is an open ques
ton. But one thing either party
could easily do, and that is to see
that all shippers are treated exactl y
alike. Determinations should cease
rebates should stop. Private cars
should be abolished. .-Huronite.
The Huronite is a machine paper
and should be against railroad rate
regulation. 1t tries to do its duty by
the machine, but at the same time
cannot do other than recognize the
existing evils. "That portion of the
press of the state which has taken
upon their shoulders the fixing OF
the railroad rates." as the Huronite
expresses it, wants no more than
TIE Huronite asks for, viz: That
discrimination should cease, rebates
should stop, private cars abolished,
and square deal" by all and fol
all. No man Of good judgment
asks to have railroad rates 80 regu,
lated as to take from railroad capital
a fair return on the investment. We
shall want more lines of road, more
trains and better equipment. This
cannot be expected unless the rail
roads return fair rate on the invest
ment. We want the railroads te
prosper. their prosperity is only q
part OF the general prosperity of the

For Judge Of the court of errors and
appeals for the state Of New Jersey,
James B. Dill has been appointed by
the governor of the most considerably
trust ridden state in the union. The
salary of the judge is $1,000 per year.
Mr.. Dill, the appointee, is one of the
leading corporation lawyers in the
United States and in accepting the
judicial position conferred upon him,
he surrenders an income of 100000
a year from his profession. There is
something at least supicious in the
transaction, more suspicious than
ANYTHING that should attach itself to
the bench. Having employed his
talent for many years IN creating
trusts, Mr. Dill now becomes the
Judge of their offenses, He may
possess the integrity to tear down
for $1,000 year that which he has
been building up for 100000 year.
If so, he will make a good Judge.

THOSE FREE PHONES.

The truth OF the political axiom that ito

cognized by party members in Logan as else
where in the nation This used TO be evidenced

able how much Uime-at fifty cents an hour

to the petty details used TO consume. OF
coursethe republican members got the first
grab at these plums. A succeeding demo
cratic administration cut out that little graft
and made committee work truly labor Of
love. But that the same spirit is still alive

there are not enough TO go around, so they
have been distributed amongst the republican
