in excess of the proportion allowed them by the
poull for the purpose of forcing the pooled lines
TO allow them a larger percentage of the east

roads alleSe that shippers do not abandon old

offered While it is highly probable that the
troubles will be settled without "a railroad war,
Yates are likely to be reduced TO please the old
lines and give them a chance TO show a heavier

rates down To the actual cost OF transportation,
and it is thought the new lines would be the
greatest sufferers and in the end would urge n
advance in rates and be willing TO maintain
them thereafter

A LETTER, THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF


The following letter, written by E. L. Floyd. of
the firm of Floyd & Buell.. ST. Paul, Ind, is from
q gentleman whose integrity is unquestioned,
and whose statements are beyond dspute:
"ST. PAUL, Iud. July IL, 1888.
'Mr. Peter Mill, Indianapolis, Ind:
"Dear Slr-We have inst closed the third sea-
son for the Minneapolis Harvester in southeast
ern Indiana. We have sold In the three years
-135 machines, and not one has failed To give en-
tire satisfaction. The last few days of the pres
ent harvest put Minneapolis in place of one
Deering, two Buckeye lOw-downs, six Marsh
Whitney ow-downs, and if the railroads had de-
nvered machines in time, could have replaced
three more Buckeye low-dOwns and more Marsh
Whifneys. We have replaced number of Woods
d Esterly's Champion and Buckeye elevators,
and in our territory not a single Minneapolis has
ever been replaced, nor has a single purchaser of
any OF the I35 sold ever doubted hut that he had
the best machine offered TO the trade. This
ord Of the Minneapolis is n wonderful success.
Perhaps no other machine can stand before the
farmer so much praised by all and condemned
by none. Yours, etc.,

Patent Car-Couplers Increasing-Why Rail-
road Men Arc Shy of These Inventions.
Three more self car-couplrrs were patented
last week. In one the drawhead Is provided
with sliding block upon which the coupiin q
pin rests before the coupling is effected. When
the cars are brought together the slidng-bl
is depressed by the action of the connecting link
and the pin drops into the link, when the cars
become automatically coupled. The second ill.,
vention consists in coupliug-heads having their
sides beveled to overlap each other, and IN I'M
equal armed U-shaped coupling -rods having
curved bars attached to the ends of their long
arms, The rods couple the cars by the coupling
head of an adjace car when the cars are run
together. In the third Invention the drawhead
is provided with sliding hook over which the
connecting link passes In coupling the ears, dis
pensing thereby with the ordinary coupling pin
A pivOted lever is placed at the top and end of
the car and connects with the sliding hook in
the drawhead. whereby when the lever is ele-
waited the hook will be projected from the draw
head, and Will iherenpOn assume u pendent 30
siJion and the cars will be uncOuped. The great
trouble now II not to get car-coupler that Op
crates perfectly, but one which ia IN no manner
an infringement on another. A general man
ager yesterday remarked that he was afraid to
take hold OF any one of the inventions lest 1t
would bring the company into extended
litigation over the charge by some unfortunate
car-eOupler inventor that the one their road was
using was an infringement on his.

The Republicans, however. while

The Democrats also claim the Leg

victory can hardly be overesti

carried the State the effect on the
Presidential contest would have
been very little, because Ohio has
always been regarded as Republi>

however, means that the Democrats
can carry the State in 1884, and
with Ohio the chances Of elec.ing a
Democratic President are vastly in
creased. The Ohio Democrats are
greatly elated, and they have reason
to be. They have fought a great
political battle, and have won. The
Republicans have carried Iowa, as
