STANDARD OLE co. WINS.

The Standard Oil company has
won it's suit against the government,
and is now excused from paying a fine
of $29, 000, 900, imposed by Judge
Lands.
Judge Anderson, who heard the case,
held that the government had failed
to prove that the company had paid
less mar the legal rate. and according
ly instructed the jury to find for de-
PENDANT.
1t is probable that the people of the
country, while believing the Standard
Oil octopus guilty of Relating, con
sidered the fine excessive, and would
not have been averse to having it re
duced. To the ordinary layman, how
ever, this abrupt ending of the case
will appear in the nature of a farce.
