Deadheadism Abolished,

At Il meeting of the superintendent and
managers of dozen or fifteen Western rail.
roads at Chicago on Tuesday, Il resolution
was adopted on and after the 1st of July next,
to issue no more free passes TO legislators
lawyers, judges, officers of other railroads,
ministers, editors or any body else,-in short,
to shut down squarely and fully on the whole
deadhead and free pass system. The meeting
held that the system was in violation of the
new railroad law of this state, which forblds
unjust determinations" and that law the
railroads propose to obey to the letter
None of the great roads east of Chicago,
such as the Fort Wayne, Michigan Central
and Southern, the Erie, Pennsylvania Central,
&c, join in the movement, and unless they
do, this spasm of the Western roads, as on
probably fatten out, although it is sincerely
to be hoped the reform may be permanent
one.
SO far as we are individually concerned,
on two roads, the c., B. & Q. and the Fair
bury road) we are quite willing to pay for all
our riding if they will pay for what we do
for them. We have, in the last year, made,
we believe, three trips to Chicago and back,
on the c. b. & O., the Fairbury road we
have not yet SEEM for which our fare would
have been S1S. We have kept standing
Time Table for both roads at the best adver-
Using place in our columns, and have pub
other matter for the c., b. & Q. and its con-
nections by request, which, if charged for at
regular rates, would have amounted to-in
'all-certainly not less than 800
Doubtless, but for the free pass system, we
should not have had the work TO do, nor
would we, On the other had, probably have
made as many trips to Chicago. The abo-
Ilition of the system will thus be an economy
on both sldes-whcther profitable or not re-
mains to be seen but this much we individu-
ally at least feel entirely content about-that
we can stand it if the railroads can.
The railroad companies have doubtless
been, in one way or another, enormously I'M
posed upon by tse deadhead system, but GER
tainly no more 50 than the publishers OF
newspapers We are fellow suffers.

Livingston County Farmers.

The heads of the Livingston county farm
ers are about as level as such things are
made in these days of strange freaks ana uis,
accountable absurditics They have placed
themselves upon the following platform:
First. We are in favor Of controlling by
law the railroad corporations OF our State.
Second. We submit TO direct taxation ana
duties to meet the necessities OF the govern
ment hut denounce as unjust and oppres,,
sive all taxation for the benefit OF special
classes.
Third. We are in favor OF the present bank
ing system being 50 made, that all men, by;
giving the proper security, should have equal
privileges. so that supply and demand shall
regulate our money markets.
Fourth. We are opposed To all further
Grants of land to railroads or other corpora
tionS. and believe that the public domain
should be held sacred TO actual settlers.
Fifth. We are in favor of tt true system OF
civilservice reform, making honesty and Ca
.pacity the only valid claim for public EN-
nlovment; and believe that the office should
seek the man, and not the man the office.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL BOARD.

The executive committee of the La Sale
county Agricultural Board met pursuant to
call at the Court House at o'clock on Satur
day; but the Old Settlers Society having
called meeting at the same place at the same
time, the Board, at the suggestion of President
Nicely, adjourned to the Clifton Hotel, Mr..
Nicely being deputed to advise the old set
tiers of the fact
Meeting at the Hotel, Vice President Green
took the chair
Mr. Nicely stated that, as the fair grounds
were at present in charge Of Dir. Jacobs, as
lessee, an impression prevailed that the public
generally were excluded from driving ON the
race ground, while such was not his under
standing of the matter; yet as Mr.. Jacobs was
present, he could speak for himself
Mr.. Jacobs said that the gate was open to all
except Sundays, and nobody had been exclu.
ded from the track; yet he thought that, as
using all kinds of heavy vehicles on the track
tended to cut it up and impose upon him
considerable expense to keep it in order,
those using it ought to pay part of the eX-
pense.
4 motion to allow Mr.. Jacobs the privilege
selling season tickets at s. to persons desir.
ing to use the track regularly for training
horses, was made, and though not formally
adopted, the understanding was that the con.
troll of the track was in the hands of Mr. ia
cobs to charge for its use or not, as he pleased,
except, of course, in the times of races or
fairs.
The tender of the use ofthe fair grounds for
the Old Settlers next picnic by President
Nicely, was approved.
Mr. Medley called up the subject OF June
races. Mr.. Jacobs offered to raise subscrip
ton of $500 toward June races. Mr.. Spencer
moved to let the grounds at 5000 tor that pur
pose. Lewis moved to amend by fixing the
sum ut $50, which was agreed to, and the
committee having charge ofthc grounds were
authorized to let them TO any parties propos-
ing to get up June races for that sum.
ANY change in the time Of holding the Coun-
tv fair was voted to be ineXpedicnt, and the
,,oo+;pr adorned.

And it costs about 10 cents bushel more
now to get wheat, corn and oats from the av.
erage Illinois farm to Chicago than it did in
1860, so that in reality the cost of now getting
wheat from an Illinois farm to New York is
about A cts. against about "A in 1870; corn
81 cts. against about II cts, in 1860, &c. The
farmer who now sells 1000 bushels of corn
gets but $210 for it, while in 1860 he got
S430 though corn was then 10 cts. lower in
New York than it is now If freights were
the same now as they were in 1860, the farm
er, instead Of getting $210 for his 1000 bush,
els of corn, would get $3.50.
This shows the extent of transportation
robbery. But there is another robbery quite
as grievous. The following figures show the
relative prices of certain articles of prime
necessity of the same quality in 1860 and in

tent of the tariff robbery.
Between the two-the tariff and tranSporta

have brought 80 overcoats; in 1878 they
would buy but IA; ard so on through the
entire 500 articles on the tariff list
The only question for the sensible farmer
to ponder is, how much sense is there in
fighting one of these systems of robbery, and
keeping carefully clear of the other, for fear
he may NEEDLE with politics-interfere with
the nice little schemes of the gentlemen con
