MIR. DONNELLY REPLIES.
He Finds Difference Between
Shipments TO Duluth and the Sea-
board.

To the Editor of the Globe.
regret to be forced to conclude that your
correspondent, shipper" in his letter touch
ing my proposition to establish by law a five
cent-per-bushel rate from the Twin Cities to
Duluth, is fabricator and a prevaricator
He says:
The ffteen-cent-rate per bushel the Duluth
road from st. Paul and Minneapolis existed years
and years ago, if ever. For the past two years the
rate from Minneapolis st. Paul Ito Duluth)
has not exceeded 4 q cents per bushel.
This is fasehood, direct and by inference.
To-day's Pioneer Press contains a statement
from "a railroad man" also ridiculing my
proposition, in which he says:
The published grain tariff from st. Paul and
Minneapolis to Chicago makes the rate l516 cents
This was reduced some months ago to 10 cents to
Chicago for local shipments and ~ cents on
through shipments the seaboard The St.
Paul Duluth road was allowed on these rates a
diferential of ~ cents. The boat rate from Du-
luth to the seaboard ports is 2@ cents CHER than
from Chicago to the same points, winch neceS-
sarily makes the rail rate from st. Paul and Min
neapol to Duluth 21@ cents less than the rail
rate from the same points to Chicago.
1t appears, therefore, that instead of the
ffteen-ceEt rate being thing that "existed
years and years ago, if ever" ii exists now
nay, more, the published rate now is I51&
cents. 1t is true that on rates to the sea-
board the Chicago roads ask but IA cents
but the Duluth road takes ~ cents off the
railroad charge and adds it to the lake
Charge. But the farmer uoes not ship to the
seaboard; he ships to Duluth, and the pub
lished rates to Duluth are l5% cents not AZ
as Shipper states it. But L do not DIES ire
to do any injustice to the Duluth road. If l
have put the figure too high, when | proposed
a tve-cent rate, am willing TO lower it TO 3
cents, or even to ~ cents per Dushel. I
understand that under special contracts
wheat has been carried from the
Twin Cities to Duluth for ~ cents.
| But whatever the rate is, it should
be fixed by law; and it should not depend on
any pooling arrangements with the Chicago
roads And then the legislature should give
the farmers and shippers for all parts of the
| state the right to ship TO St. Paul and Mime
! aDois at correspondence reduced rates, so as
! to avail themselves OF the low rates to Du-
| luth Then the farmers would grow rich: the
state would grow rich; st. Paul and Mime
| apolis and Duluth would BOOM; and we would
| have protection of home industry of the
| right kind. And as the railroad men have no
! objectlon to the scheme, except that cents
| per bushel is too high it seems 10 me that
| every one should be happy. Respectfully
yours, IGNATIUS DONNELLY.

The silver brook will miss thee.
The breeze that used to kiss thee.
And rutile with a soft caress thy curls of sun
ny hair
When the early dewdrops glisten
On the roses they will listen
For thy step upon the garden walk, thy laugh
ter in the air.
The meadows gay with flowers,
The summers leafy bower,
Will know thy joyous smile no more; the
woodlands stand forlorn
hear the soft complaining
OF birds from mirth refraining
That greeted with their carols sweet thy wax
ing every morn.
Poor mother hush thy weeping,
Above thy darling sleeping.
Nor fret with aught of earthly grief the still
ness where he lies:
Flowers in his little fingers,
Where the rosy flush still fingers,
For the angels are his playmates on the plains
of Paradise

A Correction.

EDITOR DAILY Honolulu PRESS =
Sir. l am sorry to have to in
trude again on your valuable space,
but l hope you will allow me few
words on personal matter. In your
editorial yesterday morning you
stated that 'the candidates who have
consented to stand for Honolulu were
Messrs. Carter, Marques, Warehouse
and Kapolena !" and further, in the
local, is "They say" to the effect that
''the new political party has virtually
consolidated with the Opposition"
This, am told, has given the public
to understand that l had decided to
run on the same, ticket as the above
named gentlemen. i wish, in this
respect, to state that | have not yet
been asked to run with the Opposition,
and that it is not my intention if dc
consent to run at ally, nor is it the
intention of those friends of mine who
have proposed my name, to ask for the
new Independent ticket, which has a
definite platform, to be consolidated
with the old Opposition one, repre-
sented by Messrs. Carter and Water
house, who as yet have no defined
programme Union may be necessary
to win the battle; that everyone
acknowledges but l know that my
friends consider that the initiative mus
start from those who have come thu
latest in the field. And to make an,
alliance, the old Opposition must con
sent to adopt the new ideas.
A. MARQUES.
