THE RAILROADS.
A Reduced Freight Tariff


NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Competition be-
tween The trunk lines for Western freight
continues, and further general reductions in
the tariffs by the Erie, New York Central
and Pennsylvania Central, have Just been
adopted. The list of stations, with the re-
ductions and rev rates per hundred weight
for first-class general merchandise, which
includes dry goods, boots and shoes, ready
made clothing, ETC., embrace: New York to
Cincinnati reduced from 70 to 81; to In
dianapelis, from 81 to 50; to Louisville, KY,
from Sc to 40; to Nashville, Tenn, f.om
ITO to 70; to Memphis, Tenn, from 1876 to
SO; to st. Louis, Mo-, from 81 to 55.
Several of the outside railroad ticket Of
fees have recently made considerable re-
duction in prices of tickets to the principal
points in the West. The fare to Cleveland
is thus reduced from S14 % to SIP 80; to
Chicago from S25 to SI9 so; and to Gin
cinnati from the South SIS, Meme of the
regular Broadway Offices have been author
lied to make the reduction but they will
probably be compelled to come down to the
cheap rates or lose business.

Butler opens the Campaign.
WORCESTER, Aug. 26.--Gen. Butler
opened the gubernatorial campaign tonight
by speech in Mechanics Hall, which was
crowded. When Butler appeared upon the
platform three cheers were feebly given and
a volley of Kisses, but bis speech was at
tentiVely listened to and the effective por-
tons applauded. After two hours of mingled
sarcasm and statistics well woven in bis
own defence, the General closed, without
interruption from any source.
His speech was largely devoted to his per-
sonaI controversy with Hoar and the Will
500 committee. His remarks in reference
to the back pay bill were merely a repeti-
ton of statements published in his letter 8
few days ago, but be made this proposition:
If bis colleagues, past and present, Hoar,
Baldwin and the rest, would return all back
pay they received he would do ire same.
he spoke insultingly of the press of
the country that had set up howl
about the salary grab, ana referred ID terms
the reverse of complimentary to some Of the
newspaper correspondents speaking of the
prohibtory law, the General said if he had
the power it should be enforced everywhere,
to great and small alike, so that the people
would be able to ascertain just what sort of
law it was; if good be would sustain it; if
not, well give us another and better one.

The Nashville Bulletin has cock and

purpose, if possible, of defeating every can

enough to talk about low, but ere the can

have wisely perceived that the introduction
of the funding measure into the State can

You can't eat enough in one week to last
a whole year. and you can't advertise on
that plan, either.
A large advertisement once and then

The people who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks can

A standing advertisement, even though
small one, is like sign over store
