The freight tariffs established by tho Board
Of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners Of
this State, ns prind .jccie reasonable rates, arc
calculated for each mile Of distance, aud Oh the
principal roads, such as the Rock Island, Bur-
lng:on, aud Northwestern. tue rnte per 100
pounds for First Class commences at u cents
for one mile, and increases one-half cent fcr
each additional mile up to mules. four-tenths
OF cent for each additional mile up to 20 miles,
three-tenths OF cent for each additional mile
up to 80 miles, two-tenths Of cent for each ad-
ditional mile up to lao miles, md about three
tweutieths of 8 cent additional for all greater
distances. The rate for $50 miles is fixed at
$G5.l0. Second class frcights run from s1067
for one mile to s54.o5 for 280 miles; third class
from 1898 to $3.50; fourth class from $500
to $3a.55; cattle and hogs, per carload, $500
for one mile to s38.26 for $50 miles ; coal, per
ton, from 80 cents for one mile to $500 for 2s0
miles. The schedules published fill about
twelve pages of the State Journal, and will be
productive, probably, OF nothing but bill OF
several thousand dollars against the State for

Gov. Beverid9e's annual message, aeos to the
Legislature yesterday, deals mainly with tho
condition Of tho public institutions Of tho State,
the State inspection Of grain, and tho measures
which have bcoa taken for tho regulation Of
railroad corporations. The State institutions
he reports to be satisfactorily managed, in
Guiding the Peniten:iary, which has 1ately
clai1ned an unusual degree Of public at
tention. The discipline. he says, is lees
severe, and yet 's frner and improved, tne result
Of which Is apparent in the largely-dim1nlshed
number OF puniahments." The improvement OF
the Illinois River is proceeding economically
and successfully. The entire coat to the State
of the lock and dam at Coppcras Cree1 will be
only about 100000, instead Of s430,ooo, as
authorized by tho Legislature. The system
Of State inspection Of grain is approved,
as giving better satisfaction to the pro-
ducing classes than the old way. The Gov
ernor thinks additional legislation is needed
for the public projection against the use Of false
aud fraudulent warehouse receipts. In raising
their rates heavily, July 1873 the railroads are
judged to have escaped the charge Of unjust dis
elimination, but to have been guilty Of extorion.
If after the 18th Of January, when the schedules
are in full force, they fill to comply with the law,
he recommends that it be enforced with enorgy
and rigor. The sooner the problem Of the con-
troll Of the railroads is solved, tho better, he
concludes for MI concerned.

THE EXPOSITION EXTENSION.

The proposed extension Of the time for the
occupancy OF the lake front by the Exposition
Building is now pending before the Common
Council, having been introduced on Monday
evening, in the report Of the Committee on
Wharfes and Public Grounds. The report con-
tains some excellent provisions, especially that
which restricts the use Of the building to I" an
annual exposition for Industrial. mechanical
and other arts to musical and other public
entertainment; and to public meetings, con-
yentions, and other similar purposes" This is
all very proper, rs far Us it goes, but it does not
retail or wholesale business purposes should be
strictly forbidden II not, such q business will
sooner OF later creep into the building, under
the loose manner in which this provision Is
framed.
tkThe proposition OF the Mayor, that the Expo
sition Company shall pay rental for the use Of
the ground, is also good one, but the rental
should be in some degree proportioned to the
annual receipts Of tho Company. The Company
expects to make dividends upon its investment.
There is no good reason why this Company
should have the use OF city property free any
more than any other; II it does, then every
other joint-stock company certainly has the
right to expect that it can occupy city property
free Of rental The consideration that these
annual exhibitions are matters Of public interest
ia Offset by the fact that they are expected to
contribute directly to the pockets Of the stock
holders, and TINT although hotels, restaurants,
public conveyances, and other forms Of business
may bo profted thereby, the City Government is
not benefited cent.
With regard to tho amendment suggested BY
Aid. llcGrath, making it imperative that the
building, whenever in use for any Of the above
purposes, shall be kept open on Sundays, there
will undoubtedly be wido difference Of opinion,
although such action would be in accordance
with the lessons Of the late city election, and, IS
long Us the majority rule, NC have no doubt the
majority will have their own way shout this
question.
Whatever else may be done, however, tho pro-
vision sotting forth the uses Of the building
should be amended By inserting \ stringent
clause expressly shutting OF any attempt to
establish buying and selling in tho building, or
any form of traffic which wilt intsrfo1e With the
legitimate business OF the city.

4 remarkable spectacle Was seen in the House

4 remarkable spectacle Was seen in the House
Of Representatives yesterday, when Elliott, the
colored member from South Carolina spoke in
favor OF the Supplementary Ciyil-Rights bill.
Tho occasion WIS remarkable for the clo1rence
aud ability Of the speaker, but there VAS
greater Significance in the respectful atteltiou
and the applause which the negro orator COM
manded from the House. He paid his etten-
tions to Alexander. H. Stephens, and Mr. Il Urls.
Of Virginia, in way which will be apt to impress
those gentlemen with the necessity Of stil an
other Supplementary Civil-Rights bill for their
protection against the scourging tongues Of for
mer slaves. Mr.. Stephens was reminded that it III
became him to abuse the aranesty, which allowed
him to return to place in the Government he
had sought to overthrow, by again advocating
principles which we're hostile to the exist
euce of its Constitution. He could best
vindicato the wisdom Of the magnanimous
policy which permitted him to return By advo-
eating the doctrine that American citizenship
carried with it every civil and political right that
manhood could confer. Alr. Harris was less
gently treated Mr. Elliott told him, with cruel
coneiderateness, that = negro was too magnani-
nous to snite him in bis weakness, and was
moreover charitable enough to grant him
the mercy Of his silence. Mr. Elliott con-
tended that the power to pass the
bill under discussion Vas conferred On
Congress by the late amendments to the Consti-
tuition, aud that the power ought to be exercised
in favor OF the negro as reward for their mill
tary services, and for their loyalty to the Gov
ernment Of the United States when those against
whom they nov seek to assert their rights we're
trying to overthrow it by q Government based
on slavery.

lrchy in sono form il tic ucsti2y OF Spain,
ind taat the struggle bctTeen Ecp1hlcani=m
and its opfoncnts viii shortly be cnauSed
to struggle between tho 2dAcren:s OF Don Car
los anl those of Don 4Aiphouso, with The Esual
number OF Intransigento and ot1e: ;nsurgent
squabbies, for e!Go-slows. Tho rejoicing IN
C1ba among tho Monarchists, the delight Of the
elave-owncrs at the overthrow Of Castelar,, n hich
guarantees the safety and continuance OF the
system OF slavery. and the significant rcs1ldine
Of tho crowns upon the sterus Of the Spanish
war-vessels, and replacing Of the 1mparial arms
upon the Governors Palace, also infallbly indl-
cate the drift of tho political current.
Tho logic of facts and statistics is opposed to
the theory of Republicanism in Spain. Educa-
ton, the foundation Of self elf-goverument, is want
ing. Tho official data OF statistics show that
Spain contains an aggregate population Of
15673 070 souls, OF whom II, ,837, ,39l can neither
read nor write; 705,76s eau read but cannot
write; and only little over 100000 can read
and write. There are 400 Jusriccs Of the Peace
who can neither read nor write; and I'll ,119 Al
dermen and L, ,479 members Of Town Councils
who are unable to Rgn their own names.
Under such circumstances as these, not
to mention the natural hot-headedness and
bloodthirstinees Of the spaniard, q republic in
spnia is an imposaibility, and any attempt at one
will always result in the hybrid monetrosity OF
until "a
people have learned by education how to govern
themselves. Until that time. ntsolute force cen
be the only controlling power in Spain. There
is, therefore, no special cause tor regret that
on the other hand, there are cumpeusations at
taching to the change. Able aad brilliant md
pure as CASTELAR, is, /. has relieved him from
any longer attempting to perform an irnposs-
bihty. Even with the guarantees and advantages
of monarchy, Amadeus confessed it was hope
less task to govern Spain, and yet his labors
we're as nought compared with the task Of
CASTELAR, Il ID, therefore, q matter for con-
sratulation that he is no longer to waste
lis abilities and energies. His protest against
the coup fetot, On retiring from his Office.
is worthy Of him. "My conscience will not
permit me to associate with demagogues, aud
conscience and honor refuse to accept situation
created by bayonets." are the last official words
Of CASTELAR,, and they are what might be expect
ed of this eloquent patriot and exalted states
man- It is also matter for sincere congratula-
ton that Castelar's clear head and strict sense Of
Justice saved rs from plunging into war on &C
count of the Virginius seizure. If TINT seizure
had happened at the present time, serrano would
have made no CONCESSIONS; on the other hand,
war with the United States would probably have
been one Of the first OF his official acts. II is Of
COURSE matter for regret that any attempt to
form Republican Government should fail; but
in case like this, where the attempt WAS hope
less from the beginning, the regret is very ma
terially softened.

HOW PROTECTION PROTECTS.

4 year or more ago, when tho tariff was be-
OF Paterson, N. J., permitted themselves to be
used as eigners OF q 1emonstrance in the name OF
Labor ngaingt any interference With tho duties
on silk. A committee Of the operatives actually
went to Washington to represent to Congress-
tLat the tariH duties secured fair wages. Since
that time, poverty and destitution have brought
them TO a closer acquaintance with the effects Of
protective duties, and last week there was q
nass-meeting Of 500 Of the silk operatives at
Paterson. They mado speeches. and finally, by
an unanimous vote, adopted resolution praying
Congress to reduce the duties On silk yarns from
IS to 20 per cent. To understand this case it is
necessary to explain that the duty on all silk
manufactures is 60 per cent. and On silk yarn or
thread IS per cent. The making of silk into this
yarn is called '' throwing" and those who do it
arc "throwRters )" silk in cloth is called !. man-
ufactures," " and the weavers are called '.manu-
facturers." The throwing aud manufacturing
hare until recently been separate branches,
but, during the last three years, the
larger establishments have been throwing
their own silk, which they import free,
and have thereby broken up the business Of all
those Who were exclusively engaged as throw
sters, ana who previously supplied all the man
ufacturera. The throwsters, therefore. have now
no trado except with the smaller manufacturers
who cannot afford TO mako their own yarn. The
large manufacturers, therefore. ty obtaining the
raw material free Of tax. and throwing it them
selves, are able to produce silk goods 80 much
cheaper than the smaller manufacturers that the
latter arc no longer able to compete, and the
whole manufacture Of silk is passing rs mo-
nopoly into the hands OF Cheney, OF Hartford.
Ste.ns, OF New York, and the four or five estab-
ments in Patterson. Regarding the business of
throwing ailk as no longer one in the interest

THE END OF THE SPANISH REPUBLIC.

The recent coup detat in Madrid, by which
Gen. Pavia dissolved the Cortes By force, is in
reality the death-blow to Spanish ncpublicanism.
Although Pavia apparently acted upon hls own
authority, and at the head Of the militia, and is
to take his trial for treason, nevertheless tho
act has elevated Marshal Seuano to the Chief
Executive power, and the tottering Republic is
in the hands OF violent and lifelong Mon
a.chist, who has been identified with almost
every intrigue which has taken place in Spain
during the last twenty or thirty years. He BE-
sisted to overthrow Espartero in 1913, likewise
his successor, Olozaga- He next sought to de-
pose Naryaez. although the latter had been his
political benefactor and mnde him Captain Gen.
eral Of Grenada. He Was devoted to Queen
Christine, but he. more than any other, helped
to drive out Isabella, and then WAS made
Regent during the time between 1ssbela's
flight and Amadeus acceptance OF thu crown.
Although Conservative and Liberal by turns,
as best suited his political ambition, he has
always been Monarcllist, and his appearance
at the present time upon the surface OF Spanish
politics, welding the chief power, BODIES no good
to the Republic. II it does not end in the resto-
ration OF the Bourbous to power, then it viii
only be because some other faction is more
powerful, in which case revolution must come,
and Senano will sgain drop out Of sight, IS he
