The Hon. J. D. TAYLOR, who temporarily
presided at the late Springfield convention,
must be smarting sorely over his late defeat
Smarting to such an extent that he lost his
Judgment entirely and gave way to hisspleen
with the wan,onness ola fshwoman, Figur-
atiVely speaking, he got sort OF watering
cart, filed it full Of the gore of the rebellion
and then sprinkled it broadcast over the
convention. Of sll the rubbish offered BY
the political ehsrlatsns who are Silly at
tempting to make capital out of the war Of
> quarter Of century ago, We remember
none that has more clsptrsp about it than
that contained in the gentleuAn's remarks
We think his exceeds that of the hSodlums
Who told the colored voters during the cam
paign that If CLEVELAND we're elected they
would surely 60 back into slavery.
II Is possible Mr.. TAYLOR was unaware he
was enaetiDg role that presented q very
dsce;tful, a. well as silly aspect to the public.
Has he and his political spprOvers forgot
tam 50 soon the me2tal suffering they must
have undergone when the bushwsckins

RaoubHean with the consubhiP at Hong

Of six ton masses OF steel. Powder was

tbs Board of County Commissioners dis
played so excellent appreciation Of the
financial tighsness and general depression
in business that exists, by keeping down
the levy to 8 minimum. In view Of the
needs of the farming element Of the county,
and the almost imperative need Of new
county roads and extensive repairs upon old
ones, citizOns had about made up their
minds that the levy would be sixty cents on
the 800. The increase in the Assessors
returns of real and personal property over
LAST year is about 100000 This increase
helped the Commissioners materially no
doubt, in holding the levy down.

So 087 263 or $2l1 5l4 less than for carrying the
smaller number in 1883. If the same rate had
been charged In 1885 as in 1883, the passenger
receipts would have been increased $780,,

loss of income from reduced rates is still more
notable. In 1883 the receipts of the road for
carrying 867, TIT tons of freight were 81, Az
$50. while in 1885 the receipts for carrying l.
1894, $40 was but So, 765. 92S. This shows that,
for carrying 126, 533 tons more freight their re-

carried in 1885. if the road had received the same
rates as in 1883. the receipts would have in

Was 1t n Wise Move?

There are those who think that the advance
on east bound rates ordered for Monday next
was not a polite move; such persons take
the grounds that rates on grain based on 20
cents from Chicago to New York is all the
roads should demand. Commissioner Fink is
authority for the statement that profit on car
riage ceases at the minimum of ID cents and
during the period when rates fell to 10 cents it
was gravely and plausibly argued that, with an
overcoming surplus of empties at this point
extremely low figures did not demonstrate a
loss. Shippers who oppose the advance argue
that there is absolutely nothing to stimulate q
movement In grain toward the seaboard be-
yond the regular demand for home consump-
ton. The advance to 20 cents checked the flow
of tonnage, and it fell off m volume at once
over half. The market has hardly as yet
adjusted itself to the late increase. but shippers
are again called upon to confront another rise,
and there is to be another period of rush to
Increase stocks, followed by the usual falling
off when the new rates go into effect Even the
70 cent rate is not regarded as the limit. as the
belief is that Immediately after the close of nav
igation the winter rate will be fixed at 80 cents
and there maintained throughout the season.
On the other hand, it Gamble argued that the
time has come for the roads to earn some money
above actual operating expenses Roadbeds and
equipments are steadily deterorating, and the
very fact that the demand for grain is light is
given as a better reason that paying rates should
be obtained on the property shipped. The lum-
Der men are doing but little in the way of ship
ments East. They do not ask for reduction of
rates, however, Notwithstanding that they pay
32s cents per 100 pounds indianapolis to New
