the violation Of the Eastern agreement by
the St. Louis lines. in Allowin: their West
erii connections to make rate from Kansas
Clty to New York via st. Louis at SCI, or 81
more tl:an the rate from Chicago to New
York. MIR. E. A. Ford, General Passenger
Agent of the Vundalia Line, in answer to
dispatches from General Passenger Agents
IN this city, says that lie does not in
tend to prorate with the Western roads at
the above figure, but that lie asked them to
accept 81 from Kansas City to st. Louis, the
rate now Charged. and allow him SO from
s.: Louis to New York: H. says lie took
this Step because the Ohio u Mississippi had
authorized the Western lines 10 accept s21
from Kansas Cityto New York via St Louis,
and was now working those rates i'll con-
nectlon with the Western lines -.
Tic St Louis people claim that they could
losln.. much Of their business. The regular
rate from Chicago to New York, they say, is
SO, from st. Louis to New York, ;;:::244.., ~ .

both from Chicago and St Louis, were to
maintain the regular tariff rates. \ person
could not buy through ticket at KANSAS
City via Chicago at less than the regular
rates, and the st. Louis lines had no right
lines from that point at less than traffic
rates. Most OF the roads leading from kan-
sas City to Chicago were now charging s.,
and not 81 as is claimed, which, added to the
regular rate from Chicago 70 New York,
Louis lines, they claim, Insist npon their ac-
tioD, they will be compelled to make cor
reduction. as their business has
already materially fallen off since lie East
crn rates were restored. The consequences
Of such action might become quite serious
and result in q general disruption of Eastern
rates again.
The dispatches sent by the General Passen-
ger Agents OF the Eastern roads III this city
to their General Managers, asking what ac-
tion they should take in this matter, havenot
yet been answered. and consequently they
will take no decisive steps until they have
heard from them. 1t seems that the delay in
answering those dispatches Is caused by
efforts that are being made by the General
Managers to get the st: Louis lines to restore
serious conflict IN Eastern passenger rates.

The plan proposed by the statesmen and
political economist, John Bright, for the
settlement OF the Irish land question Is one
Of the most favorable to the Irish and more
similar to the mode of settlement suggested
by PaYlell than any yet made by an Engllsh
politician. Bright proposes that the English
government shall assist these Irish farmers
who are anxious and DESTROYS Of purchasing
the land titled by them by lending them
three fourths Of the amount needed for this
purchase, the loan to run thtrtyhve years
The Liberal party in England appears to be
sympathiz'ng strongly with the Irish Nation
aiiats, and have made several very decided
utteranees in their favor Of late. It was only
recently that Gladstone declared Ia favor Of
Home Rule for Ireland, and now comes the
next greatest leader In the party, John
Bright, 10 favor of peasant proprietorship.

A OROoKEDNEss IN COAL.

The good people Of Cincinnati are just now
very much concerned about some newspaper
disclosures going to show that the system of
selling coal by measurement adopted by the
dealers of that city uniformly results In the
buyers or consumers paying for considerably
more than they receive. The matter having
been brought before the council OF the city, a
committee was appointed to investigate it.
From the statement OF the city public
wegher it appears that the weight Of q
bushel Of coal was fixed by the council at
eighty pounds, and yet he declares that there
is not dealer In the city who observes the
rule. Speaking In general terms, he says
that three out Of five carts that pass over his
scales are short, the average shortage, In
carts supposed to contain twenty-five bushels,
being about three bushels; and Ia wagon
loads of 100 bushels, about eight bushels, es-
timating at the dealers rate OF seyenty-tvo,
instead of eighty, to the bushel. The result
of the newspaper investig alton showed that
the people injured by these questionable
transactions In coal were those least able to en-
dure the loss. The dealers, 1t Is said, would not
dare to infiict their shortages on the factories
and large business houses, as to attempt it
would be to insure instant detection. The

One Of the widest schemes ever presente

One of the widest schemes ever presented
10 Congress Is that of Weaver, the Iowa
Greenbacker, who proposes that the govern
ment shall pay in coin to all the soldiers who
served In the Federal army during the late war
the difference between the value OF the gold
dollar and the greenback, In which they
were paid, together with interest from the
time of this payment to the present day. 4
greenbaek dollar for instance, was worth only
forty cents In 1864 soldier, therefore, who
was paid Sl56 year then really received only
$50 in gold, leaving 500 due him By the gov
eminent, so Weaver claims. The Interest On
this amount will double 1t. According to
Weavers theory the government Is indebted
TO the soldiers over thousand million dol
lars, which amount should be paid at once
Wild and ridiculous as this scheme Il, 1t is re-
ceiving support everywhere. On one day
last week Weaver received no less than fifty
four petitions In favor of his bill, all numer-
ously signed, and there Is every reason t. be-
lieve that the claim he makes that he will OBJ
tain a million signatures To these petitions
viii nroYe true. This bill is undoubtedly the
widest that has ever been offered Ia Congress,
completely laying in the shade the celebrated
saaa o0O. coo bin OF Wright, OF Pennsylvania,
which provided that every workingman In
tina country should receive $500 as gilt from
the na..ensl treasury.

The exodus Investigation Is pan ming out"
better than was expected. One Witness, d
colored editor. stalwart Republican and a
believer In tho exodus, testified before the
committee that no was ono of the main agents
In this movement, one of tho men who organ
lied tho Exodus Aid Society that Is now carry
Ing negroes to Indiana. The original Idea OF
this society was to take the negroes to Kan
sas, but some members suggested tho advisa-
btlity Of turning tho tide Of emigration to
Indiana which was doubtful State and this
plan was finally adopted, despite the protests
Of Utney and others, who were opposed to the
movement being converted into simply POI
litical one and the negroes made tools OF to
assist the Republican party. 1t has now been
clearly shown that the Aid Society, which got
up this exodus, did so solely to fill Indiana
with Republican voters, and that the move
ment was fully worked UP by shrewd railroad
agents who expected to make money thereby.
The poor negro Is thus victimized, q mere
tool OF politicians and railroads.
