The Southern I'aeidc railroad for mcrly the Oregon fc California rail- j road, recently made an order to the ' efl'ect that fieight received from other lines must have the freight charges -advanced before it would be taken by j that line. This of course worked u i hardship on business men, as freightH ' were collected at destination point, j The lcstilt is that much kicking is . being done and the oflicials of that, road are charged as acting in had faith to lis patrons. Jt is believed that the order was made for the purnoeo of shutting out competing lines. Tin action of the O. I. railroad company' is believed to bo fair play as indicated in the following article taken from an ' exchange: "The O. J now propose to j meet, the unbiihineMslike nriloi- nf tin. ! I Southern 1'acilio in refusing to ad vance pay on fieight by simply for warding bills to our business men fiom Albany, delivcjing goods to the South ern at that point free of any charge. This will efl'cetually head oil' thu ! Southern Pacific in its attorn nt to gobble the whole business and we hope our people will not forgot the ell'orlH of tho O. P. to pluv fair by them."

I It is true that prisoners should be j made to obey prison authorities, but! the shooting of a pi iconcr for not yield- J ing to the commands of the ollicers ' should not be tolerated only as a last iesort (o enforce discipline. We ' rather believe that had Mauslield hi en ' entrapped and placed in ironnuud in a cell Hpeeially constructed for refractory prisoners and kept lliein until thor- j otighly repentant of bis revolt against t prison rules, it would have been better. ) We believe such a piiiibhineut could j be had with much better ( fleet than . the adoption of a measure w hich onci I carried out can never be. leealkd. The ehanceti are that u stinj; of moral guilt will follow the guaid who did the 'killing as long us life ir meted out to him. .Men often j act on the spur of the momoiit and , i-ometinicH eonimit nets, which at the time seem to he the only way out of difficulty, hut which upon a more 1 sober and 1cm hasty judgment aro led j to believe they Imvo committed an act which could have I wen avoided, hence morally thu act wati uiiwiiriuutcd.
