If tho railroad interests really hnyo tho d.
law odious, In the hope Of securing Its ropcal,
thoy will find It mistaken policy. They arc
llorely intenaifying public feeling on the sub.

will bo tho repeal Of tic law, Tho spirit Of tho
law was aud iB unmistakab1o- lossen tho
freight and passenger tariffs.-Rock Island (Iu.)

Tho object Of tho railway managcrallns been
to mako tho new law odio,ls, mud thus insure its
repeal. Their policy has thus fur boen most
mistaken ono. Tie people do not propose to bo
triflod with and it would BIO the part Of wisdom
on the part Of the companies, instead OF adding
fucl to tho tlamo, to "turn over q new leaf,"
and adopt courso which would tend to remove
all reasonable cause for public dissatisfaction.

Ono Of tito greatest curaos TINT ever fell to
