To the Editor Of the Chicago Tribune:
SIR:-I enclose to you for publication an
extract from the Livingston lSumpter
county, Ala Journal. The 100000 is
being used to re-elect TO congress the mis-
cradle scoundrels who voted this appro'
alton. Perhaps,i if our grasshopper friends
knew that Alabama negroes were ted by
the government, they would not be willing
to re-elect the congressman from Their
state who voted such appropriations. NO
negro in Alabama lost anything by over
flows. The whites lost whatever was lost.
The bacon might have done good in the

teaches that it is seriously a corruption

LOCAL FREYGMT RATES.

The HERALD has labored for twenty
five years to advance the welfare of
Dallas II has seen our thriving and
prosperous city grow up from little
village. The HERALD therefore, has
some right to claim for Dallas what
she is entitled to rs railway and COM
mercial point. The railways have
made rates from Dallas to New York,
Boston, st. Louis, Memphis and Gal
weston, but what the HERALD will
now insist upon is fair local rates to
Dallas. We hear good deal of rates
to Houston and Galveston let US hear
now ofrates of such character to Dallas
rs will foster and buildup our cotton,
grain and produce trades. We have no
idea of permitting Dallas, which isnow
acknowledged to be the most impor-
tant business place in north Texas, to be
inundated upon the altar of Galveston
and Houston's progress. We earnestly
wish to cooperate with our chief sea-
port and our principal railway center
in their efforts 20 build up, but our CO.
operation must be based upon liberal
spirit on the part of those cities which
will not ask Dallas to play poor rela-
ton and take what they choose to give.
We demand that hereafter In making
rates to Galveston or Houston that the
same favors shown them shall be
shown Dallas. Weare on the line of
the Central, our cotton business is in
creasing and We cannot permit 1t to
be strangled by exorbitant local rates
to Dallas through more moderate local
rates to Galveston and Houston.

have thepower, they place their rates Of
freight so high as to result dsastrously to
the interests, the growth and the prosperl-
ty of the country. ii is the right and duty
of the legislature, so far as they constitu-
tionaly can to interfere and protect the
people and their industries. These rail-
roads are but the creatures of the legisla-
ture. and the thing created can never be
greater than the creator. Neither can the
thing created get beyond the power and
control Of the creator, especially when
such power and control is particularly re-
served to the creator. Now this is exactly
the position which the legislature OF YER
mont holds towards Vermont railroads.
How far this may give the legislature
power, without the assistance of that of
New York, to redress all the grievances
under which the state interests suffer, we
cannot say. because, in order to
reach their principal market, they are
compelled to reach Schenectady, over
line of railroad owned controlled and
situated in the State of New York. But
there are grievances which can be rene
died. They can regulate the rate of freight
per ton per mile, make it the same whether
| it goes in one direction or another. or
whether it goes over one or more lines of
road. They can, also, compel one road to
transport the loaded cars Of other roads to
and from certain points at the same rates
they would Their own-those rates being
those fixed as above referred to. These
are, briefly, some of the points in which
Rutland county is intercstcd-to others VT
shall refer to hereafter. We look upor
this transportation question as one of th'
most important which will he brought tC
the attention of the legislature. We know
not how it is in other parts Of the state
but if they have suffered in proportion t'
Rutland county. such demand will go N
to the legislature for n proper regulation o
freighis BY law that will be impossible &
resist. We only ask the same rights 70
ourselves that we are willing to accord tn
railroads but we do object to havini
them eat up all the profits of our industrie
or putting full stop thereto.
