THE RAILROAD War.
The great railroad conflict 10 still
raging and the slaughter IN rates 10 de.
lightful. In the last fortnight mil
lions Of dollars have been killed aud
tens Of thousands wounded. AS usual
during Il war, grain and other products
have gone up 80 faras the farmers are
concerned.

ting the full benefit because tho Mil
waukre dives not touch this point.
There is, however, quite drop in both
freight and passenger rates. The fare
to Chicago over the omaha routeis S.
and to st. Paul and Minneapolis S IS.
The rate Oh all kinds Of grain aud -four
in car load lots has dropped from 2oc
hundred to II cents.
There is no change announced on the
Burlington road to this point, but the
papers report the fare as 81 from Chi.
cage to Emmetsburg and Spirit Lake.
Wholesale men in the interior cities
are complaining that the low fares are
taking the country merchants to Chi
cage to buy goods.
So far tile cut has been mostly on
east bound travel and freight, but =
general cut east and west has been pre-.
dicted. The Milwaukee, it was said,
would soon issue round trip tickets vt
cut rates good for 80 days. But it
looks as though the railroads would
get i multitude Of people east ut low
rates and oh Arge them full fare back..
