End Of the Gong and Bitter Passenger
War of the Reads Leading East,


At half past ten O'Clock yesterday, the war
which has been in progress for months
between the railroads leading East, came 20
an end and the old rates are restored. Peo-
pie who have delayed for a few days the con-
templafed visit TO the East which they had
ali along intended TO make while the cutting
and slashipg of rates were in progrcss will
read the announcement with no little dis
gust and with little mental swearing at
Themselves when they read that the rates 10
New York are back 10 go >; 10 Chicago, els .:
TO 81. Louis, 81 90; and that TO all other points
IN the East rates are back 10 the old rates
These people will wish that they hadn't
made the postponement until the advantages
contemplated-i q cheap rateS-had, for the
present, AT least, slipped from their reach.
That the Old rates, restored, will be
Kept where they now are, there is every rea-
son 10 believe. The war has been too costly
