ACCORDING to the Cincinnati G,

ACCORDING to the Cincinnati ia
zette there has been great deal of
suffering in the Northwest on ac-
count of the severe winter and the
scarcity of fuel, and there generally
is more or less of it every year.
The winters are long and severe,
and there is very little combustible
material within a reasonable dis
lance of many settlements in West-
ern Minnesota and Dakota. The
farmers have been compelled to
burn their grain in some instances.
At Sioux Falls the schools have
been suspended, and mill with 100
workmen has been shut up because
it was impossible to study or work
without fire. Telegraph poles have
been cut down, and out in the coun-
try the people have laid hands on
the sleepers of the railroad track.
The tearing down of wooden depot
buildings has even been contem-
plated as last resort. Unless some
adjacent coal mines are discovered,
the experiences of the winter just
closing will be sufficient to induce
many residents to move further
south.
To all such We would say, come
to East Tennessee. We have an
abundance Of fleetwood and coal
all around US, in an inexhausti'
BILE supply. What does it profit th'
farmers of that section if they car
raise more grain to the acre, if they
are compelled to burn it during thu
winter to keep from freezing. Her
they will find a mild, healthy CHM
ate, fuel in plenty for farmer o
mechanic, and soil that will yiel'
a comfortable living to all who ar
willing to put their hands to tn
pillow. There should be some OF
ganized effort made on the part {
our citizens to secure fair share {
these emigrants from the Northwes
There is no question but that man
citizens of that section of countr
are going to look out for milde
climate. We have received numel
GUS letters asking about East Tel
nessee, and are trying to make al
engagements to furnish the desire
information to all such as are CO,
templating change of Location
and hope to do our share towar'
bringing at least some of them
this State.

THE RAILROAD QUESTION.
ALBERT FINK,s REPLY TO BLACK
In Which Hs Charges the Latter's
stats me nts and Figures as
Erroneous,
And Claims the Railroad Earnings as
Extremely small Returns on the

Albert Fink, commissioner of the trunk
line pool, has written the following letter to
the editor of the New York World:
Sir: | have looked through the columns
of the papers since the speeches made be-
fore the Anti monopoly League meeting of
the 22d inst were published, in which
railroad companies and their management
were so we'll abused, in the hope that |
would find some correction of the misrepre-
sensations made at that meeting, but as
apparently no one else will undertake the
task, | have concluded to say few
words to correct the statements made at
that meeting, and at the same time-l wish
to record my protest against Judge Blacks
assumption that the silence of the railroad
managers should be naturally and rightly
construed as an admission of their guilt.
1t is true that in but very few instances
the railroad managers take any notice OF
the thousands of misrepresentation that

we'll no one could tell she ever ha been invalid

companies have right to be Reimbursed
all that it costs them to render the service,
| and to receive, in addition, reasonable
profit on the capital invested. 1t may not
be out of the way to say that s per cent
interest on the investment constitutes a
reasonable profit on so risky an enterprise
as building and operating railroads Taking
8 per cent as a reasonable interest, the rail.
road companies of the country in 1879
failed to be reimbursed for the cost of their
service by 30 per cent on the capital, or in
other words instead of robbing the people
of 1915, 900 the railroad companies fur
nlshed in 1879, $l42,OOO,O 900 of their own
means to the people of this country for the
privilege of furr ishing them with transport
tation facilities, by which service this great
country has been made the most prosper
ous in the world. Notwithstanding this
service rendered to the people by the rail,
road companies, they receive nothing in re-
turn but abuses. Judge Black says: "The
voice of complaint comes on the wings Q
the wind from every quarter OF the CONT
nent. Cases of individual comp amt vii
be recited to you in every counting house
in every hotel, wherever you go to talk witt

THERE are strong indications, says
the Pittsburg Post, that some of the
National Banks at the East propose a
war on the Funding bill because it
was not framed as the banking inter.
est desired, but with the view that the
Government should realize all the
profits of low rate of Interest, with
out sharing with the syndicates. There
was deposited at the sub-Treasury in
New York on Saturday, $2,1lO,O00 to
withdraw bonds to secure circulation.
1t is surmlsed this is part of conspir-

ing bill. Among tho banks in this
scheme is the First National, John
Sherman's celebrated "pet bank" F"

is general, but if the National Banks
make it so they will prepare the way
for some very vigorous legislation.

Aggressive and combined action by
the National Banks against the three
per cent. Funding bill will waken it
TO very lively action.
