lines. The through rates have re-
NAMED the same for long time, name
ly: $5 from Chicago to New York, and
81 from New York to Chicago; and now
the rates from Cleveland, from Toledo
and from Detroit have been reduced to
81. The regular fare was from Cleve-
land to New York $13, from Toledo $16.-
20, and from Detroit SIS. The west

formation in official quarters there is no
doubt of the announcement of his early
appointment. 1t is learned that the

because he has long held that Office and

with the officials under whose admins
tratiOn the Star-rOute frauds occurred,
and while there is no allegation that he
was in any way involved in them, and
did, in fact, advise against the policy
pursued by General Brady, he has never
appeared to be in sympathy with the eff

honest living by hard knocks. If Repub-

lily-white hands, unused to toll, would
be unequal to the occasion. ALI the work
