TAKING TIT: BULL. By THE HORNS,
II mist hare been noticed that during the
last Ak months the earnings of the railroads
leading to tt'ls city from the West and soutl,-
west hare greatly fallen of an compared with
lie corresponding months OF the ycar previous.
This large falling of In tic earnings of these
roatls IL In some measure 10 bo ascrsbcd to tho
dull times, and partly to The discrimination
made ngalnst this city by Eastern roads harIng
southwestern connections Mt st. Louis, Toledo,
anti i'corla; but the chief and principal cause is
tho grecl!ncae of our clcrator-mcn and poor In
spectton law. The TntnrxE showed about . rear
1cas the elevators reduced their charges.
B1t tho clcratnr-mcn could not SEQ It.
They would not fotego any Of their profits and
they denounced THE TnlnuxE for daring to
make such an uDbut[ness.ltke proposition. Thu
railroad managers offered to abolfst the switch.
tng charges II tho c1eyator-mcn would cooper.
!y-hEgh terminal chargrs. But the elevators re-
fused TO do any thing and kept on charging CT
tortEonato rates, and tile result is that the bust
ness which once came to this city ID now seek
Toledo. for example, has greatly gained during
the Inst year, because its terminal charges arc
only about ouc.tl,1rd what thcy arc here. The
railroads, peFycistng that something had tn be
the. trouble Of arguing with tic cleyator-.ncn
to bring hbnus reduction in tile terminal
cfargcs at thls point: bit their efforts being Of
no avail, they hare come 70 tho conclusion that
It would t'e necessary to take Independent
action.
The managers Of the Chicago g. Alton Rail-

step In regard to the Enucll.'cslred reform. Mr..
