KANSAS CITY EXTENSION.

Intimation to the Manner Vanderbilt
Will Reach Kansas City.
Work on the Ltchfield, Carlinsville & Western
road, which is to be feeder of the indianapolis
& ST. Louis road, is progressing rapidly, Twen-
ty-five miles ofJUhe road is in condition TO run
trains over it, and twenty five miles more will
be by November Is, and by January the track
will reach the Missouri river. The distance
from Litchfield to the Missouri river is some
seventy miles. While this is going on a com
pany has been organized to build a railroad from
ClarksVille, on the west side of the river, to
Kansas City. A prominent attorney in the Van
derbit interest. who met the railroad reporter of
the Journal on Sunday night at the Union Depot,
threw this out as pointer He then went on to
say the exOrbiUant bridge charges at
st. Louis or the cost Of building a
a bridge at tn at point would be so immense as
TO even scare Vanderbilt out of building a sec
ond bridge, while at the point these two named
new roads would terminate, bridge could be
built for One-tenth the sum q bridge could he
built at ST. Louis, and freights could be moved
much more expeditously by the new talked-ot
route, as there would not be the same delay as
at st. Louis The attorney then said the Jour
nal had been building an extension of the Indi
annapolis & ST. Louis line from st. Louis to Kan
eas City, and it might be built, but If the re-
porter wanted to keep up with the music he
would have to watch closely the movements in

POOL TALK.

Efforts To Be Made Looking TO the ReOrgan-
izatiOn of Several Pools.
An effort is to be made to get the general
freight agents of the Indianapolis roads which
carry the east-bound traffic together early next
week to reorganize the pool here. The general
freight agents, almost without exception, seem
to be of the opinion that the matter of per cents.
to each road will need be referred to arbitration
for adjustment.
Another effort is also to be made to reorgan-
izt the east-hound pool at Lafayette. Under the
old pooling agreement the L., N. A. & c. was a.
lowed per cent; the c., L. st. l.. & C., %; the
L. e. & W. %, aud the W. st. L. g. p, 80. The
amount of earnings, however, was equally di-
yided. Under the old per cent. the Lake Erie &
Western was hardly satisfied, and finally, with
the L., N. a. Il e. people, managed TO break the
pool up.
at Peoria 1t is proposed to reorganize the east
hound pool this month. 1t is believed that the
general freight agents of the roads leading east
from that point Will be able to agree on per
cents. without calling in arbitration. 1t is prob
able that pools will be establish he'd at several
other railroad centers of less Importance than

The After Results eff Railway Wars the Most

nation. The railroad arrangements, as we'll, are
charged with being sehemers, dishonest, ETC.,
and railway arrangements come into pad re-
pnte. For instance, Eastern journal says
OF the present rate war: "The ways of railway
management are very peculiar, and one of their
pecuar1tes is fairly illustrated in the passeng ger
rate war new going on in the West. Owing to
the energetic throat-cutting which has been kept
up for some days one road has reduced its rate
from Chicago to Indianapolis to five cents. 1t is
significant, however that the road runs only a
night train, ana passengers on it required to
pay $2 for a berth In a sleeping-car. 1t will
thus be seen that while this cut 1s a direct rob-
bory OF the stockholders of the road, it is a fat
thing for the sleeping car company, which gets
big returns from the increased travel produced
by this ruinOus rate. This may produce an in
'quiry as to the interest of the officers of the
road In the sleepingcar company"

The trade dollar is having a hard
time finding q home. The brokers
of New York refuse to handle them
and the government will not recog.
nize them. Some of the highly pro.
tected manufacturers have been
paying them out to their non pro-
teeted laborers, who will become
the losers. The trade dollar should
be redeemed by the government at
its face value and put where it will
do the most good.

The "Inter-O Ocean" says Oliver
Cromwell in 1866 appointed the first
board of trade. Il was composed
of twenty merchants from the prin-
cipal cities of England, and his son
Richard was president. Charles II,
on his restoration, recognized it
and gave it control of the whole
commerce of the nation in 166O.-
William LII instituted a board of
trade and plantations, but this was
abolished in 1882, and the present
plan adopted in 1856, September 2.
Our boards of trade are evidently

The Republicans of Iowa have de-
termined to risk everything once
more on the constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of spirituous liquors, includ-
ing ale, beer and wine. Last year
this amendment was submitted to the
people and adopted by vote of 1885,
436 to 125,677. That however was a
special election and the vote was
lght-the total vote in 1879 being
323, 05-42,0O0 more than at the
special election. The amendment
was declared invalid for some reason
that we do not now recall, and the
Republicans propose to make it an
issue again this year. Oflate the tide
of public opinion has rather been
against the measure, the Democrats
favoring well regulated license law
as being more practical temperance
measure. On the tariff question the
Democrats have also been eating into
the Republican majority; their plat
form of atariff for revenue only, with
q gradual but persistent reduction of
protective duties, meeting with more
favor than the protective policy of
their adversary. Since the Des Moines
Leader has been making free trade a
living issue and stirring up the people
OF that State very perceptible changes
have been apparent. Last year the
Republicans had scant 1000 major
ity, against their 60, 600 in years past.
On the whole the outlook is not un-
favorable for the Democrats to carry
the State this fall; and indeed some
of the Republican papers admit that
Iowa is already lost to them.

What will be the effect of the tariff
Legislation that has already been is a
matter that no definite opinion can as
yet be formed about II is still in the
clouds. But the general impression
seems to be that the new tariff viii
yield a revenue from customs equal
to that of the present year. The in
ternal revenue receipts for the year
just closed are estimated at $145,-
600, 900 and customs receipts at
$206, 100000, a total revenue of
1851, 100000. The surplus is enor-
nous, and next year we suppose that
there win be but little diminution.-
The pension estimate for this year
was 800, 100000 but the commits
sioner has paid out but $65, 0O5, 900.
Last year he paid out $61, 900, 000.-
Next year he ought not to pay out
more than $50, 100000. As the inter-
est account has fallen off very largely,
there will perhaps be no great differ
ence between these items taking the
last two years and next year together.
The decrease in interest viii offset the
increase in pensions AS conse-
quence the vast amount of surplus
amounting to $3.50, 600, 900 which we
have heretofore been applying to the
payment of the public debt, could be
left in the pocket of the people with
out detriment to any public interest.
When Congress meets in December
it viii still find a treasury OVERLOOKING
with money wrung unnecessarily from
the people, increasing the cost of liv-
ing and burdening the country
Congress will have to deal with that
state Of affairs. and in our Judgment
there viii be made strong effort to
modify the tariff. Certainly constant
tinkering with anything that has such
an important bearing on trade as the
tariff is very Objectionable; but then
the tariff must be reformed and low
cred. It is necessary and it is inevita-
BILE. To do the least harm, to unset
tie business the least, it is very desir-
able that the views we have from time
to time expressed should be pressed
to a successful issue; namely, to re-
form the tariff intelligently and get
rid of its worst excresences, and then
provide for gradual reduction ex-
tending over few years, so that with
out further legislation or amendment
the duties viii gradually decline to
the lowest figure that will yield us
sufficient revenue for governmental
purposes.
