Freight Reduction 10 Ihe
West.
The New York Mercantile JOurni
of the 10th says.

The New York Mercantile Journal
of the 10th says.
The discussion of the Western freight
quotation has resulted in reducing the
rates between the city and the various
points at the West. All rates between
Eastern points are based on the rate
between New York and Chicago,
freight charges to other Western cities
being determined by the distance be-
tween the points under consideration
as compared with the distance between
New YORK and Chicago. Since the
close of water navigation, the schedule
rate on f1rst-class goods from New
York to Chicago has been 81 per 100
pounds. On and after the 14th in
sta mt, the rate for the same class of
goods is to be 40 cents. The following
table indicates the present tariff on
100 pounds tor the different classes
of freight compared with the new
schedule:

A much higher tariff on foreign
type is proposed in Congress. There
are but twelve type boundaries in
tho United States, aud they are
banded together as one to keep up
an exorbitant price for type; and
to increase the tariff on imported
type would Eimply enable the type
monopoly to tax printers and the
reading public more than 1t does.

Secretary Sherman speaks his
mind very plainly concerning the
conviction of Col. Anderson of the
Louisiana returning board. He con-
cludes with this language:
"IfAndeEsoD is Imprisoned under

of public justice and will bring into
contempt ell efforts 1t peace and

If Secretary Sherman coins silver
Just as fast as the silver bill IS
amended by the Senate permits him
to, he will deluge the country from
now till next January at the rate of
eight cents per month for each in
habitant, and if he coins the min
imum amount allowed, he will flood
US with four cents worth of silver
per month to each inhabitant. And
this is what the Senate, or some 40
mem bers of it, call remonetizing
silver in order to relieve the finan-
cial distress of the people and start
business again.

THE "GINERALn BUSTED.

PAoLA, Kas., Feb. 1S.-The GRIM
inal libel snit brought by Jns. II.
Rice, editor of the Republican,
against L. j. Perry, of the Western
Spirit, both of this place, was tried
in the Miami county district court,
this week, lasting five days. 1t was
q most dramatic affair, and the peo-
pie throughout the county were
very much interested in the case.
Perry had charged Rice with being
a rebel, on which charge Rice based
the action. Perry's defense in court
was the truth of the charge, and not.
withstanding the hard swearing of
the entire Rice family that the Gen
eral was strong Union man during
the war in Georgia, the defendant
irrefutably established the fact that
the Rices perjured themselves, and
that he was violent and bitter Sc
cessionist and rebel. A southern
geography was produced in court,
printed and compiled in Atlanta,
Ga, in 1862, by old Rice himself,
containing testimony sufficient to
drown the best Union record ON the
earth, and when this was introduced
the prosecution wiIted. The jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty,
and to-day Perry is receiving the
congratulations of the people from
all parts of the county.

Over-production is what's the
matter. AS labor is the only thing
that produces anything, it follows
that too much labor is what ails the
country. Hence the army of tramps
Is the most useful body of people at
present, and instead of being asked
to 60 to work and make this over
production worse than it is, about
half of those who are at work, pro-
ducing this and that already over
produced article, should be COM
PEELED to quit work and do nothing
the rest of the year. Now this is
either so, or else the cry about oyer
production is the silliest of all the
silly theories advanced to account
for the state of business.

The newspaper men of the State

have been considerably interest
ed in a libel suit between the ed
itors of the Paola papers, the Spirit,
edited by Leslie J. Perry, and the
Republican, by "Gineral' Rice. The

slandered Perry as much, if not
more, than Perry slandered Rice.
Finally, at the John Bown monu-

to be a Republican, was plotting
treason in Georgia, while John
Brown was fighting bushwhackers."
For this statement old Rice brought

WARNING

to the people to maintain legislative
dIkes against the incoming foods Of
that metal, whose source they have
been unable or unwilling to point out.
This Chinese system of war fare against
silver has proved ineffectualr because,
upon examination, the masses OF the
people could net sse that any evil
would result to this country, even if.
the entire stock of German and French
silver should be sent here. On the
contrary, the people believe that a
silver flood of only that magnitude
could result IN no injury Whatever,
but would only serve to- revive the
stagnant industry and commerce of
the country. The COmstock lode, con-
fessedly one of the greatest mineral
bearing veins ever discovered, and I'm
the hands of the most vigorous, push
ing, energetic, ingenious, and enter

Good Fishing ut Dayton.

Dayton is a very pretty little town,
but it has hitherto lacked one of the
requisites of life in country town.
viz: good fishing. This it will soon
enjoy, however, than ks to the Hon.
H. &. Parker, State Fish COmmiss-
Toner. Last Friday Mr.. Parker re-
ceived a consignment of "no less
than $500 blue cats of the Schuyl-
kill variety. Blue cats are fish and
not cats at all. They are like unto
what is called the horn-pout or the
bull pout of New England; and they
are much esteemed for their edible
qualities, by folks who don't care
what a fish's name is, SO it's a fish.

A Beautiful Rainbow.

The light sprinkle of rain, about
half-past 9 o'clock last evening, was
followed by the appearance of one Of
the most beautiful rainbows ever seen
in these parts. 1t appeared fully
twenty feet in width, the outer edge
seeming about foot in width, while
the inner seemed about two feet in
width. These were in brilliant col
ors, while all between was black a.
ink. The contrast thus formed was
strikingly beautiful. One end of the
rainbow seemed to strike in the VIC
Unity OF the Dayton works, and the
other in Niger Ravine-thus indi-
eating the location of the big bonanza
which will yet make of Silver City
larger town than Virginia.

A New Wrinkle for Topers.

They have an unique way Of max
ing whisky sour at Armory Hall, in
this city. Three lemons being cut
into eight pieces each, these are put
into anrempty decanter which is then
filed with whisky and allowed to
stand three or four days. The
whisky is then poured out, the soaked
lemons extracted from the decanter,
and others put in. This is repeated
three or four times, when the "whisky
sour" is ready for delivery. The Gus
toners of Armory Hall say they pre-
fer this whisky sour to any because il
has taste of the rind which materi-
ally enhances the flavor.
