The Massachusetts senatorial election

have not yet heard TIE result. The
prominent candidates were Nessrs.
Dawes, Hoar, Washbarne and Adams.

strength, but was far short of MAORI
". Butler had given his support TO
Dawes, and iIoar was considered q
strong candidate of the an,i-Builer ele.
ment. 1t will be remembered that But
Ter supported Boutwell, against Dawes in
the Senatorial race, last year. B5utwe.l's
course in connection with the Summons
nomination, disgas,ed Batter, and he now
avows that he is done with Boutwell,.

1t is claimed that the bill in troduced
in the late Legislatures foibiie ing rail.
road companies to issue passes to State,
county or township Offices, did not te'
come a law. The passage Of that law
would have been disastrous in its effects.
1t would have prceluded constables and
road overseors from privileges which are
granted to other American citizens. The
Legislature, in its wisdom" saw the ca
lamity attending thcpassagc OF the bill,
and killed it while in the egg. Wise
men were those legislators, and the
aforesaid con<tables and road oversecrs
and their 6escendents to the third and
fourth generation, will bear il fond re-
mcmbrsnys the Legislature Of 1871.

rI.u,,n. for the KANSAS ctr tr.s,.


The readers of the Inter Ocean will re-
member that about a month ago the
railways of ST. Louis made an attempt
TO divert the trad. Vt Kansas City from
Chicago toihe;r own city by reducing
the rates on all classes Of freight 70 fif-
teen cents per 400 pound. Asa pro-
tectivc measure the Alton and ST. Louis
I,oad promptly went their several cents
better, making rates which were far
more Advantageous 10 Western shippers,
though not very profitable 10 the road.
Tho other Chicago roads interested in
The Kansas City business unhcsi,aiingly
Endorsed tho action Of the Alton and
St. Louis, since when the rates current
have been s. cents per 100 lbs for FIRST
class trcights from Kansas City 10 Chi
cago, and 25..cents per 100 tbs for second,
third and fourth class. A few DAYS ago,
however, the general freight agents of
all The interested roads, except the Alton
and 81. Louis, met and, after talking the
matter over, made up their minds 10 ad-
vance The old figures, or at least 10 figures
which would he mere likely To reader a
net return. This determination they
communicated to the managers of the
Alton and ST. Louis Road, rot doubling
tk.t this action would he followed. Ts
their establishment, they received re-
PLY to the effect that the road wo-ii not
1t present make any change. An ex-
plantation was asked. but in the absence
OF. Mr.. Smith, the Genera! Freight 4 gent.
none was given. The nonplusscd officials
concluded that the management of the
Chicago, Alton aud ST. Louis felt sighted
al not beirg consulted in the matter, but
fondly hoped that they nigh, effect re-
conciila,ion and accomplish their ends
after all. In this hope they have been
awaiting for the last three or four days
the return of Mr.. Smith. On Wednes-
day night that gentleman arrived in the
ely, ard although no official commGni-
cation has been made, all the parties are
now cognizant Of the real causc Of the
misunderstanding. While in ST. Louis,
it appears. that Mr.. Smith discovered that
one of the roads, if no; more, had had
an agent at work carefully Harvesting
among shippers FOR this trade, offering
inducements which il was 70 their inter
est 10 accept. Not only were the rates
low, but ANIMAL contracts were made,
and in the case Of lumber was CARRYING
double the number of feet which had
been agreed upon by all the roads as n
Just carInad. This Mr.. Smith regarded
Is "a piece Of sharp practice, if not Il
breach Of faith, at Which he was justified
ia kicking, and be proposes 10 inforrH
The ot:c.diuC road, or roads, that uniess
the objvctiuna! contracts arc killed and
the other little Irregularities amended,

Kansas Ci;y ra;cs. What the resui; will
be remains TO he seen, INT al present the
:.dv;;;th:e il all on tie s.t!e Of the Alton
~ d -. i.onis road. 1t is in the posses
sion ui a much shorter and more diree,
route than its rivals, and If its tariff
should continue lower thai, the othc:
can afford to make, il viii, in all proba-
bi!ity, menopol;zc the trade Chicago

The "duolio" is not altogether thin z
Of the past. Kansas came very nsar
havinga touch of it. Senator Edwards
of this district and Byron Sherry, Judge
of tie Criminal Court Of Leaven-
worth county, met at the Teft House,
Topeka, at the dinner table, about ten
days before the close of the session OF
the Legislature. They were introduced
by their ''matual friend" Moonlight.
Edwards eomplimented Sherry and iheu
remarked that with all his good quail
ties, Sherry "was r;thcr INSCRIPTIONS
To this Sherry said nothing, until the
substance Of the remark was reiterated
Then Sherry got mad and commenced
abusing the doughty Senator. Edwards
left the table and afterwards wrote the
following note:
TErFT HOUSE.
BYRON SHERRY:
SIR: You have grossly insul,ed nae in
a public place, in public hotel, ,o-wit ::
Tefft house. Your retrac,ion is demand
ed. Yours,

To this Sherry made answer:
EDWARDS:
l have no retraction to make.
BYRON SHERRY.
However, the weapons were never
chosen, and Kansas only hears of a daei
that almost came of. The Kansas City
Times is the authority for all OF this.
We never knew that Edwards was duel
list, Notwithstanding he once entertained
all Salina with a champagne party at
the expense If the town company OF

comi,ant of chivairy, out of which the
duello grew, and that Edwards possessed

skill in the latter art was not proved.
