FREIGHT ON GOAL,

From the St. Louis Post. Dispsteh.l
The Lexington I~ntellIgencer has a
long and earnest leader Oh the Missouri
Pacif1c's recent advance OF rs per cent.
In Its charges for carrying Lafayette
county's coal to market The explana-
ton Of this advance Is obvious. It is
to secure to the Gould mines a monop-
oily of the coal business, to freeze out
and ruin the owners of other mines
and force them to sell their property at
whatever price an inside ring of the
owners of the Missouri Pacific may
choose to give. In this way the rail
roads are fast acquiring for their own
ers and managers the actual owner
ship or monopoly control OF all the
coal and other mines in this country.
| What has occurred in Pennsylvania and
other states is taking place in Missouri,
because the legislature refuses to check
the wrong by providing ade quate rem
edies for the enforcement OF the state
constitution, In vain does the Intelli-
gencer appeal to Mr.. Gould's public
spirit and sense of Justice. All its sug-
gestions that he is blind to his own
interest, all its remonstrances and ex-
postulations are to him but idle wind
which he regards not. Judge Fosters
instruction to the jury in a case where
a ruined coal operator asked damages
for unlawful determinations, shOw
how Intellectual are the cGmmon-laW
remedies for the protection OF the pub
lie, aud how urgent ia the need fol
some statute which will compel rail
roads TO obey the law.

MAYHEM.

The railroad meeting held here Satur-

bone and sinew Of Washington town

built to MAYHEM. A more enthusiast
tic meeting was held here. All

sour; river at Lexington we will get
the St. Joseph road extended to May
view. The meeting being called to
order, A, b. Matthews was elected
chairman, and 7. e. Wilson, secretary.
Numerous speeches We're made, all in
favor of the road coming here; the
meeting also pledged itself to endeavor
to get the right-ot- way for said road in
the event of its making MAYHEM a
point. On motion a committee of four
viz; Col. II. C. Chiles, T. c. Wilson,
Squire John Wheatley and Robt.
Smith, were appointed to meet the
directors OF the St Joseph railroad In
Lexington, and endeavor to get them
to extend their road to the c. s. A. at

President Cleveland, in conversation
with a republican senator said, last
Tuesday am led to believe tina. a
% Majority of your body intend insisting
that l shall give my reasons for sus-
pending an ofice-holder at the time l
nominate his successor. l must inform
you that | shall do nothing of the kind.
Nominations are made by and with
the consent Of the senate. 1t is fitting
in such cases that the senate should
have all the information they desire re-
garding the man whose nomination
they are asked to confirm. But when
they insist upon my reasons for making
removals they are usurping a privilege
that belongs to the executive alone, and
their request will in every case be de-
MED. That is the position | propose
to take and | am ready to abide the
consequences There is re thing thai
is refreshing, Mr.. Cleveland has E
backbone. When he thinks he is righI
he goes ahead.
