RAILROAD DECENTRALIZATION.
The Significance of the Dressed Beef
and Cattle Freight Reduction.
Special Telegram to the Globe. |

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-The war ON trunk lines
freight rates has begun For some time the Erie
and its western connections, the Grand Trunk
and Chicago IL Atlantic, have suspected the
Pennsylvania system of cutting rates on live
stock and dressed beef. Wednesday they claimed
to have found absolute evidence of the alleged
Irregularities and notified Commissioner Fink
that they would at once meet the cut. The
latter to avoid the appearance of an
open war at once ordered all lines to
reduce the rates these commodities and Joint
Agent Moore received official advices to that eff
feet yesterday. The reduction is one third less
than tariff, and is upon the basis of the following
car, zoe per 100 pounds; dressed beef S64 per
car, zoe per 100 pounds. The situation has be-
come exceedingly strained. The pool can con-
tinue only upon conditions that the operators
can be induced to reconsider their recent award,
this having been given,as the Grand Trunk uti-
matum. There is no ground for hoping that the
arbitrators would reconsider the award, even
if requested to, and it is morally
certain the Grand Trunk competitors will not ask
them to do SO. Mr.. Reeve said yesterday he had
little doubt that the Grand Trunks notice OF
withdrawal has been given, although he had no
official advices to that effect.
The circumstances attending the reduction in
cattle and dressed beef rates are full OF meaning
and indicate the distressing condition of things.
The Erie people did not ask Mr.. Fink to reduce
rates to meet the alleged cut of the Pennsylvania
lines, but fatty informed him that they would
at once meet the reduced
rate. The fact that the Erie
people took the law into their own hands, ins
stead of complying with the provisions of the
pool agreement and requesting the commissioner
to reduce rates to meet the alleged conces-
sions, is regarded as an open disregard OF the
pool and its requirements. 1t was virtually a
declaration OF war on the part Of the Erie, and
Mr. Fink has endeavored to Disguise the fact by
attaching to the act his official sanction. The
atmosphere of trunk line pool circles has as
sumed a decidedly threatening aspect. There has
been no open cut as yet in trunk line passenger
rates, but all lines look for a break
at any time on the part of the Grand Trunk. The
management of the latter have stated that their
competitors must agree within very few days
to stop paying commissions, or rates would be
cut to the bottom at one fell swoop. There is
no disposition on the part of the other lines to
change the existing order OF things. They are
almost unanimous in asserting that the Grand
Trunk has been paying commissions ever since
the pool has been in existence.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Congressman Nc
Adoo, of New Jersey, was at the Democratic
headquarters to-day. He said in the course of
his conversation: 81 think New Jersey is sure
to go for Cleveland. There is no chance what
ever for the Republicans to carry it. In speak
ing through the state / have have not found a
single Blaine German. / never saw anything
like it. They seem to be unanimous for Cleve-
land
s'And the Irish?"
81 think majority of them will vote with the
Democrats
''How about Butler?'
There is no organized Butler movement in the
state. man here and there declares himself
for the anti monopoly candidate, but there is no
way of estimating how many there are in the
state. But the Democrats he said, ''are in
perfect accord. They are united and
very enthusiastic. They are having banner
rasings all through the state. just raise a
Cleveland banner, and without any advertisement
a crowd of 1900 or 1900 will assemble and
stand in the street for hours listening to the
speakers. This in small places, too, you see.
The crowds at Democratic meetings at Jersey
City and Trenton are very large. The Republi-
cans are not raising banner
whats the position of the Independents"
have come out and withstood the shock of Re-
publican vituperation without losing any Of
their strength, and they are a source Of great
uneasiness to the Republicans. Many Of the
best Republicans in the state in their ranks

work and contributed to Republican cause freely.
They are working determinedy to defeat Blaine
and no explanation of his that can be
made affects them in the least
''How do you look upon the situation in New
York;
81 am right there in Jersey City, virtually
part of New York and can view the situation
pretty clearly. tell you Cleveland is the strong

lendents in New York, whose strength must be

Storm at Winnipeg.
Especial Telegram 10 the Globe -.

WINNIPEG, Aug. 28.-A heavy thunder storm
broke over the city last night, doing slight dam
age to several buildings. 1t rained heavily, the
lightning was very vivid, the night intensely
dark, and the electric display scared the citizens
considerably, though none injured in the
storm. A false alarm of fire rang, which in
creased the excitement. When daylight came
the damage was found to be slight, the Hudson
Bay store being the most seriously damaged.
This was caused by badly insulated lightning
rod. The side OF lhe roof was torn off the build
ing few other high light buildings were
damaged. Your correspondent has just returned
from trip through the province to learn the ex-
tent of the storm. He found the storm less vio-
lent west and south, and no crops damaged ex-
cept few fields OF dead ripe wheat, which were
considerably shelled out. The storm is attrib-
uted to the excessively hot weather for several

Jim Blaine's Brother.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Neil G. Blaine, whose
claim to being the brother of James G. Blaine
was at first doubted and rdculed, has at length
been justified and identified. Congressman Tom
Ryan, of Kansas, and Mr.. Emmons Blaine both
called on the old gentleman to-day and subse-
quenty said there was no doubt of his being a
brother Of the Republican candidate for the pres
idency. Congressman Ryan is stopping at the
Grand Pacific, which hotel Neil Blaine
also makes his temporary abiding
place. In personal appearance he is nothing
like his distinguished brother He is u slim, tall
old gentleman of sixty, with stub OF gray chin
whiskers and head of hair which is only com
mencing to silver. He is an ordinary looking
farmer and a suit of blue chevot, low
shoes and red stockings, with a brown SLOUGH
hat. With the customary frankness of the peo-
pie of the far west he said to-day:
81 guess people didn't believe / was Jim
Blaines brother because | said was going to
see him and didn't expect any favors. That
may be hard to believe, but it's So I've
enough of this worlds goods and to
spare, and not having seen jim
for eighteen years | wanted to go on and call
upon him. My home is Oregon, and | am only
an ordinary farmer there
When Mr.. Blaine first came to Chicago he
called himself Boise, which resulted in the ex-
preston of doubt when he subsequently said he
was Mr.. James c. Blaine's brother. The old
gentleman is welcome guest at Republican
headquarters, and he seems to like the attention
which his kinship of James c. attracts

GOVERNOR MURRAY of Utah does not
mince words in regard to the Mormon mis-
sionaries murdered in Tennessee. In a let
ter to Governor Bate he caustically says:
'Lawlessness in Tennessee and Utah is alike
repreheusible, but the murdered Mormon
agents in Tennessee were sent from here as
agents, and have been sent for years. l sub
nit that as Tennessee representatives, in
congress are, to say the least, indifferent to
the punishment of offenders against the ma
tional law in Utah, it is cowardly outrage
for their constituents to kill emigration
agents sent there from here.'' There is
moral in this. Congress has been and has
meant to be indifferent to violations of
national law in Utah. To appease popular
clamor laws have been passed with the delibe-
rate purpose that they be simply dead-letter
laws. This is the policy of the Republican
party ON the Mormon question, and the
whole of it.

CHANDLER,y PLEIsURE YACHT

The sinking of the United States ship of
war, Talapoosa, BY collision has probably
saved the country the modification of having
it sunk at some time in the future by col
Iision with a ship Of some power with which
we might happen to be at war. 1t is not a
glorious end for an American war ship to be
run down by clam boat, but even this is
not so bad as probably would have been the
end of the vessel had she remained until
Blaine should be elected and begun to carry
out his famous vigorous foreign policy"
1t Is loss which will prevent more humil-
iating one, and in this respect is to be &C
cepted in the nature OF national benefit.
There is possibly another reason why the
Talapoosa went down. 1t is the vessel on
which Secretary Chandler and Ben Butler
held their meeting in July, during which
something was resolved on, and few days
later, on the same boat, was communicated
to Blaine. Not long after the meeting But
Ter gave himself out as candidate for the
Presidency. 1t may, therefore, well be that
the Tallapoosa has been the place in which
was Matched what now faunts itself before
the public as the Butler-Blaine combination,
and which, while bearing the legend Butler
and Blaine for president, really
means Blaine for president, and
Butler for some high appointive
position If such plot were Matched on the
Tallapoosa she deserved to go to the bottom
in way still more ignominious than the one
which fell to her lot She was bad enough
as preteuse of being an American war yes
sci, she was still worse as being used as a

while as a rendezvous for Butler and Blaine

Trio Good Reasons.
TBoston Herald. Editorial

Gen. Hawley is anxious to know why the
Republican party should be asked to step
down and out There are two reasons. 1t
has been in power long enough-nearly twice
as long as any other party has held uninter-
rupted control of the government 1t does
not accord either with the theory of our sys-
tenn, with the dictates of prudence, or the
teachings of history to keep one party perpet-
uaIly in power. The inevitable tendency to
become corrupt and arrogant was seen in
the Democratic party twenty-five years ago,
and is just as perceptible in the Republican
party to-day. The audscious nomination Of
Blaine, after he had twice been rejected for
sound, prudential and moral reasons, ia the
crowuiug proof that II is time to make a
change And this suggests the sufficient
second reason: Because the Republican
candidate is not proper man, in his public
character and political views and methods, TO
elevate to the office of President.
