DUBUQUE, Ia, April g. For some time
past railroad pool on the Missouri river
lumber business has existed between the
companies interested in the traffic from Chi
cago, Wisconsin and the upper Mississippi.
Recently complications arose which rendered
it undesirable for the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul to remain in the pool. 1t therefore
withdrew and then sought to make new
agreement, giving all the business des-
tined to southern Missouri river
points to certain lines, and
business to northern points to the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Chicago 81
Northwestern. But the St. Paul, believing
thatit can control some business to southern
points, yesterday announced that it would not
enter the arrangement Is was told by the
other roads that no further attempts to
conciliate it would be made, and that it could
do what II pleased about the matter. The
st. Paul announces that it will make rate
which will enable merchants OF Dubuque aud
other points along the upper Mississippi to
have a monopoly of the Missouri river, and
share Of the southern business. This will
undoubtedly assume the character Of the rate

Will Resume Work,

Reliable information is received that the
Chicago, Burlington e. Quincy will, about
the 18th inst, renew work on the Winona,
Alma & Northern line up the east side of the
Mississippi from Dubuque to st. Paul Some
time ago it was given out that work was sus-
pended because the bonds could not be sold.
The real reason for the delay was to give time
for negotiations with the Illinois Central about
joint use of the tracks of these two
companies between Chicago and Dubuque.
AS contracts have within a few days been
closed for renewal of the work it is inferred
that the two companies nave come to an
understanding. E. P. Reynolds d Co. have
the contract for building the road from East
Dubuque to La Crosse, 1875 miles. From
Winona north forty miles of grading are
well along. The road is to be finished this

until blue grass has run out all the other
grasses; the remainder of the farm is "under
the plow," and has been for twenty-five or
thirty years, or until it produces 20 to ~
bushels of corn per acre. I took possession
of such farm in the spring of 1861. The
first thing done was to break up the blue
grass meadow and plant it to corn. The old
plowed ground was sown with small grain
and seeded down to timothy and clover,
mown for three seasons, and in autumn the
knee-high clover was turned under, to be
followed with corn the next spring. The
crop yielded eighty bushels per acre. This
was followed by two more years of corn, and
then seeded for meadow again, sowing more
clover than timothy seed, in order to gain
heavy crop of the former. l consider good
growth of clover, plowed under, in autumn,
equivalent to more than twenty loads of
manure to the acre. My meadow land
yielded two to three tons per acre of the very
best hay.

PEARSON'S SELECTION APPROYED.
The appointment of Postmaster PEARSON
seems to have struck the Democratic press of
the country in very favorable light. Some
that do not indorse it are reconciled to it,
Even Mr.. WATTERsoN, in his COurier-Jour-
nal, speaks of it as political sagacity." Mr..
CLEvELAND's motives for making the ap-
pointment seem to be generally understood
and appreciated by the leaders of his own
party. The unanimity with which the presi-
dents action in this matter is approved by
the friends of his administration is strong
evidence of the confidence they have in the
man whom they elected. The question of
appointing PEARSON was perplexing one to
the president and was surrounded with IA ore
embarrassments than perhaps any other
problem that will confront his admins
tratioD. The satisfactory solution be
has given it must be source of great gratifi-
cation to him. With public sentiment in
dorsing and sustaining him the new presi-

his own ability and prudence to fulfill all the
promises made by his party with the assur-
ance that the Democracy will stand by him

SCALES FAILING FROM THEIR EYES.

REV. w. r. CARSON, a noted colored
preacher in Texas and secretary of the Re
publican executive committee of that state,
has published a letter in the papers formally
seyering all connection with the Republican
party, declaring that he has been deceived by
it, and asking the people Of his own race to
change their political associates with him.
The blacks are fast finding how they have
been abused and hoodwinked by the Repub-
lican politicians. A Democratic administra-
ton will emancipate the negroes from politi-
cal bondage, and hereafter their votes will
be divided between the two parties. One
great evil Of Republican rule has been in
keeping the color line drawn too closely in
politics. II is better for the blacks as we'll as

western road in regard to its participation In
the business of the Western Trunk Line asso-

again at Commissioner Vining's office to-day
for the purpose of rendering its decision.
First, it decides that the Northwestern
is member of the association,
agreeing with that company's claim in
the matter, but, secondly, it decided that
the Sioux City 81 Pacific branches business
must be reported to the pool as part OF the
line included in the scope of the association,
and its traffic belonging to the reports.
Failure to do this at once on the part OF the
Northwestern, the board of arbitrators will
meet again in thirty days and take further
action in the matter. 1t must be remem-
bered that the Northwestern, while
nominally represented in the board by Mr.
Crawford, in fact has persistently declined to
take any part and practically is absent. AS
far as can be learned it is fully determined
to concede the point on the Sioux City u
