EVER since the Board of Railroad
Commissioners changed the system oI
transit rates, there has been more on
less sparring between them and the rail
way companies, in regard 10 the reduc,
ton of local rates, and Greek met
Greek" last Tuesday, when representa-,
tlyes of the various roads in the State,
and the Commissioners met in st. Paul
with a view of adjusting the matter. The
railway men submitted a schedule OF
rates, which the Board considered toe
high and would not accept, and imme-
diately ordered a further reduction. The
men of the rail knowing full well that
they are AT the mercy Of the Commits.
sloners in this matter, gathered them
selves together and commenced a re-
vision Of the offered rates, which have
not at this writing been submitted Ia
the Commissioners. The commissioners
maintain that n satisfactory figure on
local freights would be the old transit
rate from anv point in the State, less
the present rate from Minneapolis to
Chicago. To demonstrate, let us sup
pose the former rate under the transit
system from some point in Minnesota to
Chicago is 20 cents, and the present rate
from Minneapolis 10 Chicago is 30 cents,
then, in the Commissioners judgement
a reasonable local rate from the suppos-
ed point to Minneapolis at present
would he the difference between 30 and
20 cents, or 20 cents. A satisfactory adj
justment of the matter is likely To follow
i'm a few DAYS.

For a man of his corporosity, and oc-
cupying 30 large n space in the national
capitol as President Cleveland does, he
has done some very small and foolish
things during his administration. His
pretended devotion to the Civil Service
law was "too thin" to deceive any intel
ligent man, unless SchurtZ d Curtis
may be included in that category, and
il was scarcely necessary for the Presi-
dent 10 prove his hypocrisy and con-
tempt for the l4th section of that law by
sending his check for 81 900 to the Dem
ocratic Central Committee of New York
for campaign purposes, and the next
day remove the Surveyor-General OF
Arizona for Offensive craftsmanship" be-
u he one year ago, being a Republi-
can, contributed $40 toward the erection
of a stand for a Blaine d Logan meet
ing. Now if the Surveyor-General, for
u ten-dollar contribution to his own par
ty, deserves de%capitation, what should
be done with a President who, as exec
utive head Of the Nation, has taken his
oath to execute the law, commits an
offense one hundred times greater than
the man he has just beheaded?
Great il Grover-corporally.

undressing condition of affairs in the

An interesting condition Of affairs in the
wheat market exists i'm Faribault county
the direct result Of the organization oi
Farmers and Merchants Wheat associa-
ton of Delavan. The association put
wheat above regular prices, which
stirred up the companies buying at that
point, and their buyers were called off,
one being stationed at Easton, the first
station east Of Delavan, and another at
Winnebago City, OH the west, with in
structions to hoist prices right mp, with
a view of taking all the wheat, allowing
none to 90 to Delavan. As Il conse
quence, from five to eight cents per
bushel more have been paid at those
stations than vas being given ut other
points. The farmers maintain that they
are reaping the intended fruits of their
organization, il being formed for the
sole purpose of compelling the compa-
MES TO pay them what their cereal is
worth; they care nOt where it rs done
AT their own or other stations. The
merchants of Delavan are in with the
farmers, and are being looked after by
the latter class, who draw their wheat
To other points and receive the adj
vanced price, and then 60 home TO trade.

The time is fast approaching for the
assembling of Congress, and the nearer
the date approaches the more promi-
nent are becoming the great national is
sues which that body will be called
upon 10 take under advisement for the
purpose of accomplishing such legisla-
ton as the welfare of the country may
seem to demand. There are three such
questions upon which will be centered
the momentum Of that body, viz: the
tariff, the silver question and railroad
legislation. None of these topics will
be championed III strict party
the representatives of both parties
differing widely as to the proposed leg
~islation OH each issue. OF course the
tariff and silver questions will become
sectional measures, us they ALWAYS have.
Some hot work may be anticipated, and
q vast amount of dilly-dallying, a conse-
quence usually noticeable where party
lines are not strictly drawn.
