The counting out Of Kellogg, on
the ground that he is a citizen Of
Louisiana, is viewed BY the Chicago
Daily News as a queer proceeding. Il
does appear so; but it is to be hoped
the plea is well grounded. As villain
Gus as is the record Of Mr.. kellogg, it
would be an outrage to deprive him of
his rights under the law by violent
means. The Democrats must rise
superior to socalled Republican preoe-
dents in election deviltry, and allow
the people to have their choice. Ger
tainly it speaks very bad for those
who would prefer kellogg to a gentle
man. R~ascality in politics is as much
to be condemned as stealing in com-
mercial pursuits.
The Illinois Central railroad is a
good institution for Illinois. Since

we're s., 56, being the greatest
amount for any half year since 1855.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. O.-Governor-elect
Pattison has put his foot down on all dis

officers of the State Fencibles battalion
offered the services of the battalion to him
as escort from his home to Harrisburg on
the occasion of his inauguration. Mr.. Pat
tison has declined the offer in a letter to
Charles Berger, adju.ant and secretary of
the board of officers. 'sFor the personal
compliment intended to be bestowed upon

cerely grateful, but must decline to accept
their kind offer, for the reasons
am about to state. I have
always entertained profound
conviction that a simple and
undemonstrative inauguration of
public officers was most in accord with
the spirit Of republican institutions. There
is no reason that can see why the mere
taking of an oath by the citizen called by
the: people to execute a public trust
should be made the occasion for scenes
OF pageantry and demonstration. To my
mind the solemnness Of the act is marred
by the intrusion of such needless and in
opportune display. The sooner we return
to simplicity and democratic good sense
IN these matters the better for the people

Effect. of the Cut on the Mooem<nt of Wheat.

Effects of the Cut On t!te Increment of Wheat.
Two of the heaviest wheat operators in
the state, one operating principally in the
southern and southwestern counties, with
headquarters at an interior town, and the
other in the northwestern portion Of the
state, with headquarters in St. Paul, were
met by GLOBE reporter yesterday,
while discussing the probable
effect of the freight cuts by the parties
to the railroad war upon the movement
and price of wheat. The northwestern
operator was Of tho opinion that it would
result in largely increased shipments and
an ad4ance3n local prices corresponding
to the reduction in transportation rates
made by the railroads. The southwestern
operator, while conceding that such might
be the case as affecting few special
points, contended that as applied to
the whole state and the North
west, the EFFECT would not be observable.
The cost, as would be seen, he said, did
not affect Milwaukee or Chicago grain
shipments nor were local consumers, such
as Red Wing, Winona and other milling
points benefited, as no provision had been
made for transfers at tbs reduced rates.
Another thing, it would be seen by care
fully studying the points touched by the
warning companies, and where the
cut rates would apply, that

An Eastern Gould Line.


CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-The announcements
that Gould had committed himself to the
building of new line east from Toledo
has served to lead railroad men to believe
that Gould was not exactly sincere when
he said in Chicago recently, that his rail
road interests lay west of Chicago. It is
now pretty conclqsively settled that the
Gould interest has determined to have
another outlet. Surveys have already
been made III tho interest OF the Gould
system for a road to run along
side the Nickel Plate from Toledo
to Broclon, when the new
line will connect with the Buffalo, Pitts
burgh & Western. It is staff that an ar
rangement has been conc!ueel between
the Wabash, which terminates in Toledo,
and the Lackawanna, which extends from
Buffalo to New York, for tho building Of
the link which will connect them. By using
the tracks of the Pittsburgh & Western
road from Brocs )n TO Buffalo. It il con-
sidered that the new line will afford the
Wabash all the fatiIi les which
could have been secured by the
purchase of the Nickle Plate, and
at much smaller investment. It is
not thought that Gould ever desired to Sc
cure control of the Nickel Plate, which
could carry him no further East than Buff
falo. The new arrangement will give
Goulds Missouri Pacific & Wabash system
an independent route to New York, the
Importance of which can hardly be over
estimated.
