The Express Warfare.

The war between the express companies is be-
coming daily more serious in it's character, and
Che prospects for the express companies cannot
be said to be promising of good in the
future. 1t really looks as if it would end in each
of the trunk lines doing their own express bust
ness. The Cleveland Leader says it looks very
much as If the express war, which has been sui
lenly and deeply waging for some time, would
become one of determination All the trouble
has been caused by the advent of the Erie Ex-
press Company, only few months ago. The
broad question which lies at the bottom of the
difficulty is whether the express business of the
country shall be conducted by companies indie
pendent of railway control or by companies
subordinate to railroad management, at least
that is about the manner in which the various
express companies have ranged themselves in
She contest. The Erie Express Company cut
che rate between New York and Cleveland,
which was 81 % per 100 pounds, to So cents per
100 pounds, and on Thursday the American
Express Company notified their patrons that
rates you'd be made to them by that company
The Erie on Thursday made an open rate of 80
cents between New York and Cleveland either
way to everybody. The rates by the various
freight dispatch lines between New York and
Cleveland is So cents per hundred. The New
York Central road is the largest holder of stock
Of the American Express Company, and the
Pennsylvania the largest holder of stock of the
Adams Express Company.

CHICAGO Oct 1.-The Times tomorrow will
say: 'The Southwestern railway pool is threat
ened in a rather unexpected quarter. 1t is
learned that the Milwaukee g. st. Paul is ship
ping large quantities of freight to Kansas City,
through Council Bluffs, and via the Union Pacific
and the new route of the latter through Marys-
vile. This was opened about a month ago, and
gives the Union Pacific a fair through line be-
tween Omaha and Kansas City. Neither
of the roads are parties to the South
western pool, and are at liberty to make
such rates as may be agreed upon between
them without reference to the tariffs governing
in the Southwestern pool. The Kansas City, st.
Joe q Council Bluffs road was closed up to the
Northwestern lines some time ago by subsidy
granted it from the pool lines, and the estab.
lished arbitraries barred out all traffic from the
Northwest which did not take pool charges. The
new route is somewhat circuitous. but it is good
enough for freight purposes Its main bearing
will be upon the lumber traffic, which can get
into Kansas through this gateway. and unless
the usual remedy is applied the Southwestern
lumber pool will be in considerable danger. 1t
is believed however, that the Union Pacific will
listen to reason, accept "a subsidy, and maintain
pool rates.

extensions the Pennsylvania people are making,
the Financial Chronicle says: There is no
longer any doubt that the Pennsylvania railroad
is on the eve Of great venture in the South,
which will make the company as important in
that locality as it is in the East or West By
building. buying and leasing lines it is probable
that in the next ten years the Pennsylvania will
reach every important city in the South. as 1t
does now in the North and West Until
recently there have been no great railreay
systems in the South, and there is none now In
the Atlantic States south of Virginia and north
of Georgia. The growing Importance of the
section demands better railroad facilities. and
there is believed to be no field in the country
more promising to the projectors of great rail
road system. If this is true il is certainly prop
er for the great Pennsylvania to occupy the ter
rltory in Difference to its future. At the present
time the company has line to Norfolk, to
Quantico few miles below Washington and it
reaches all points in the South by connections
rather than by lines of it's own. When the
great project is carried into effect the Pennsyl-
vania railroad will recover any business it may
have lost by the multiplication of trunk lines
Preliminary surveys of railroads in various
parts of the South are now bing made by Penn
sylvania engineers.

daily.
The rumors about control of the Manitoba by
the Canadian Pacific mean that the two roads are
likely hereafter to be worked together for their
mutual benefit.

evening and stole pocket-book containing So.

that crosses the continent, and large and in

One Obstacle Removed,

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The managers of the South
western lines, at their meeting to-day. succeeded
in disposing of one of the chief obstacles in the
way Of forming passenger pool This was &C.
complished by reaching compromise on the
business west of the Missouri river, the roads
running beyond that boundary line agreeing not
to pool business originating at local stations, but
to enter into an agreement to maintain rates
strictly, under penalty of $500 for every infrac
ton of the contract The business between
Chicago and St. Louis was taken up at night
session, and satisfactorily disposed of. There
are several minor points of disagreement yet to
be considered The meeting will probably be
prolonged into next week.

I notice that the papers make an i'm
mense effort to impress us with some
tangible idea of the enornaO4saaess of
.Vanderbilt's S180,OO0,OO0. They show
how many miles it would stretch; how
many acres it would cover; how many
locomotives it would take to moveit,
etc. Now what wish to see as plainly
set forth, is, how many thousand men
are obliged to work for nothing, year
in, year out, when one man (er ten has
succeeded in sweeping into his own cof-
fers this vast sum? Money is nothing
except as it is the sign of labor, con-
venient means of exchange which was
long ago agreed on.
Our present laws, which we're all
made for the benefit of capital, permit
one man by much seheming and plan
ning-by occasional scratches of apen
as he sits in his ofice-to possess him
self of the earnings of thousands of his
fellows Now what I ask is, how many
unpaid labor, slaves toll yearly to create
the Vanderbilt millions? N-972.
