kauE OPINIONS.

The result Of the elections yesterday, while

porlion Of the Democratic party Is composed
Of good and true Democrats, and that sort
Of Democrats have no admiration for Mug

who en'orces them. The Democratic nomi-
pces " no were defeated for Congress, were
not defeated on account OF their own un.

popularity Of their Republican opponents,

could not come to any terms whatever,
and so each line is in the field to
get all the traffic that it can. 1t now
. becomes q question of facilities and
management. If our agents are not as
alert and enterprising. or not as quick
to seize chances as the other agents, we
will. of course, suffer but / have no lack
of confidence in our management, and am
sure that the Sunset route has great ad-
vantages over all others. The fact that the
Sunset route has carried more than rs per
cent, and that the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe could not get any increase of bust
ness since it started, is the best evidence OF
the strength of our position. How long
know as much about it as those most inter-
ested, and are as well qualified to form an
opinion as l am. Our instructions to
agents will be broad and general-to secure
all the business they can. How best to do
that will be left very much TO their judg-
ment. can conceive of state of affairs
that would induce us to carry goods at a
very low rate
/" A big cut by the other side,p suggested
the reporter.
Mr.. Crocker smiled for reply, and said,
All this is very bad for business, but we
have done all we can to keep peace. All the
pool lines have drawn more from US than
they earned, and they wanted so much
that no arrangement could possibly be
made
Have you issued any definite cut rate
yet?''
No; our agents will get instructions. 1t
would be useless to issue any schedule We
have no idea yet what the other roads are
doing, but will try and keep posted
DEPRESSING FFFrcr ON rrcrrrpArr rp.nr
The merchants view the war of rates with
terror amounting almost to horror. The
large business houses are we'll stocked for
spring, and the war coming now will entail
big loss on them. One big wholesaler
put the situation very aptly. He said
:" This war knocked $4,000 out of my
pocket in an instant. | have on hand
goods which cost me for freight $50 900.
Now rates are cut one-half, and | am loser
one-half of that amount unless they re-
cover Immediately"
At least dozen large merchants spoken
to on this subject agreed that it is a ter
ribly bad thing for business. Values will
be unsettled, buyers slow and disposed to
wait for lower rates, and Eastern jobbers
will take advantage of the cut to flood this
market with goods, the result being gen.
eral overstocking and decentralization all
over the coast. The present loss will, of
