CHICAGO, Dec S--The new freight rates
to the seaboard from Chicago went into ef-
feet to-day. These are forty cents per 100
pounds for cattle, seventy cents on dead
meat as against twenty cents and thirty-two
and one-half cents respectively previously in
force. The commission men At the stock
yards here claim that the advance is a boom
Tor live stock shippers and stock yards inter
ests east Of Chicago, and a blow at the
dressed beef trade Of the city. Should the
Rates remain in force it is claimed it would
naturally turn toward more southern cities

Anton Schefier, appellant, VS.. The Mlnneap-

Syllabus-In an action for the next Of kin

OF 1873, on account of the death of a person.
damages are to be com uted with reference
TO the reasonable expectation of pecuniary
benefits from the continuance of the life Of

railroad company does not owe a mere
trespasser upon its track the duty of having
an engineer running a train look to see If he

the consequences.
The Carlisle and other similar tables Of
fered for the purpose of showing the "expec-

be received Qf at ally upon judicial
notice of their commences and authorita-
tiveness. No legal proof Of genuineness or
authoritativeness is required, but ii is proper
for court TO inform itself in the premises

Syllabus-The effect of a simple reversal

A Political SQUAD.

From the Chicago Times.
The boon which Grover Cleveland excited
by his enormous majority over Secretary
Folger in the New York election in 1882 for
Governor, is fast fading irsm the memory Of
man, and he is now conspicuous in National
politics only by reason Of the eminent place
he occupies among Presidential impossibili-
ties. One New York paper alludes to him,
indeed, in this rude and unfeeling manner !:
"Mr. Grover Cleveland, as q Presidential
candidate, will remind the apprecative OBJ
server Of that interesting bird, the SQUAD,
which, it is we'll known, is largest when it is
first born"

Tilden's Heir.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Henry b. Payne has been, for full year
past, the Presidential candidate to whom the
insiders Of the old "Tilden crowd" have been
looking. He was their choice in 1880, and
would have been a strong candidate then
when the New York delegation voted for him
at Cincinnati but, less through his fault than
by the logic Of events, he has come now to
stand for the organized appetite of the Demo-
cratic party, in which the rank and file want
the Offices, and are willing to have the big
monopolies- like the Standard Oil company,
pay the expense Of securing them.

ONE OF the most ridiculous, unfounded
and extravagant canards ever manufactured
has been fred off by the Houston Post to the
effect that Messrs. Reagan, Maxey, Hancock,
Coke, Culberson and the Galveston News
had entered into an offensive and defensive
treaty to take the political scalp Of Governor
Ireland-that Flournoy come here from San
Francisco expressly to arrange the details Of
this treaty, and that C. P. Huntington bribed
the News. This fabrication is utterly ridicu-
lous and will be heoted at by every man Of
sense. Reagan, Maxey, Hancock, Coke and
Culberssn are as pure, highminded and hon
orable as John Ireland, and would disdain to
enter into a private and clandestine agree
meat to make war upoa any member of their
party to subserve their own purposes. Be-
sides, Reagan and Culberson lacked good
deal of tallying some months ago. The CAL
weston News was put aAoat in 1912, and is
he first newspaper in Texas, and it is highly
improbable that even c. P. Huntington has
money and patronage enough to bride such a
newspaper. Newspapers are no more apt to
accept brides than are leading politicians. II
Governor Ireland has set out to "kill Off
Reagan, Maxey, Coke, Hancock and Culber-
son, we are bound to tell him he has "bitten
of more tobacco than he can chew" and that
he will soon enjoy without molestation the
unbroken retirement Of private life in the Sc
clusion of Seguin. II is Democratic rum
pus from top to bottom, and for that reason
no particular concern Of ours, but still the
LIGHT is at all times for "fair play and no
gouging," even among Democrats.

The resolution endorsing Governor Ireland,
which was introduced into the Legislature by
Mr.. Newton and passed by that body, was a
direct attempt to muzzle the freedom Of the
press, and richly deserves the unqualified con-
domination Of every newspaper in Texas. The
very language in which the resolution is
couched, shows il was a blow aimed at the
freedom Of the press. Mr.. Jefferson, the
founder Of the Democratic party, declared
that "error of opinion should be tolerated,
while reason was left free to combat it., and
that is the keynote Of genuine Democracy.
II is unusual and unprecedented in a Legis-
lature to pass a resolution endorsing Cover
nor, and in this instance such resolution was
dehors the proclamation OF Governor Ireland
and fatally irregular. Why should the Legis-
lature espouse the side OF the Governor and
endeavor to punish, prescribe and put down
the Galveston News for finding fault with
Governor Ireland? In the opinion OF the
LIGHT the attack of the News was un-
founded, unjust and illogical, and this paper
plainly stated as much fully two months ago;
but that opinion by no. means blinds us to an
undisguised attempt to overawe silence and
muzzle the freedom Of the press by a resolution
ofthe Legislature endorsing Governor Ireland.
This very resolution is so worded as to show
plainly that it was loaded and aimed at the
freedom Of the press, and none but the

it. Refute the News by fact and do not lay
unholy hands on the ark of liberty, the free
dom Of the press.

SPEAKING OF the apparent dissentions In the
Democratic ranks, the St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat says: "The saeacity and inesse Of the
kid-gloved Eastern capitalists stand arayed
against the bone and sinew Of the out-spoken
Western Democracy. And notwithstanding
the complexion Of the House Of Representa-
tives, the chances are that the capitalist, Or
shall we call ,heml-the gentleman, politi-
clans will win. There is a Mephistophelian
smile on the countenances Of the latter as they
think Of the depressing influence Of the steady
prospect Of q moneyless campaign and Of
defeat. The honest Democratic bone and
sinew has ever tilted under such conditions,
and the strong probability is that it will again.
But in the meantime there is to be
determined eight all along the line. The
shouts Of Watterson and the other Ruperts Of
free trade will be heard as they dash their
lances against the impenetrable armor Of facts
which protects the representatives Of tariff eva
sion and money. The struggle for the control
Of the Convention has already commenced.
The Carlisle Morrison crowd will make the
most noise and do the most heroic charging,
but the still-hunt business generally wins with
the Democracy in the end. The masses
rarely get their candidate. But the important
fact which we desire to call attention to nowis
that the split in the Democracy grows more
and more serious. The speakership election
tended to aggravate rather than heal it. And
the situation will grow worse before it grows
better"

THERE will be lively fight and interesting
times in the very near bye and bye among
the leaders Of Texas Democracy. The Cal
weston News has been, and is yet making it
exceedingly sultry for Governor Ireland, and
the Governor is no wise backward in knitting
the News and its friends through his semi
official organ, the Houston Post. The Fort
Worth Gazette has tossed its cap into this
family muss, and is spelling for gore in de-
fence Of Mr.. Peter Smith, who seems to have
got a journalistic wipe between the News and
Post, not SO much because he deserved any
thing Of the kind. but because he either was
in bad company or was needed out Of the way.
1t promises to be very free fight, and the
only hope is that it will equal the famous
Kilkenny cat fight. where there was nothing
left but the tails.
1T APPEARS the Senate is ready to 20 be-
hind the constitution to pass any bill pro.
viding money for the representation of Texs.
at the New Orleans exposition, but the Hous,
is not. This is bad precedent, and coming
from the Senate, whose members should zeal
ousy guard and observe every word in tia
document. The great State Of Texas ought
by right and justice, and through bushes
motives, be represented at New Orleans, bu
when the constitution expressly forLids tn
Legislature to make any appropriation 70
that purpose, and such an appropriation /
made, we believe the benefits to be derive,
from such representation, under such circuu
stances, would be overbslanced by the dis
trust created, and the slight respect shown 70
the law. The Legislature should suggest
proper amendment covering such cases, b.
they should be the very last persons to ignor
the laws.
