We are glad to have the third party leaders
come ont from cover and avow their real mo-
tives We reckon il good thing. at least in
the interest of truthfuness in politics. that at the
indianapolis convention the evils of intsmper-
ance and the arrogance Of the saloon power
were given subordinate place. and the enter
prise of effecting the destruction Of the Rep ID
liean party was foremost ia the utter
ances OF the delegates This we say, is in
the interest Of truthful politics. Il strips the
disguise from the third-party movement IL
renders natural and inteliieiole the alliance be-
tween the saloon interests and the third party
leaders. The saloon interests want the Repub-
lican party destroyed because il has enacted so
many laws hostile to them; the third party
leaders want IL destroyed because IL Is in
the way of their ambitions. Why should there
not be an alliance between forces which

The Rate Decentralization.

The oldest passenger men say that they have
never before known such . general demoraliza-
ton Of rates now exists all directions.
There have been times when the rate in one di-
rection would be cut by one or two roads. as In
1881, when tho Bee-line sold tickets TO New
York for 81. Now, low rates rule in all direc-
tions. ana daily the situation becomes worse and
more far-reachine. The Louisville. New Albany
& Chicago. in connection with the Minnesota &
Southwestern, last night. threw out sign an
nouncing $l1.50 round-trip rate to ST. Paul,
and it is expected that some OF the moro
direct lines will tp-day drop lbelow that
figure. The occasio6 is the holding of the an
nual convention of commercial travellers. on the
18th inst. The open rate to ST. Louis and re-
tn 10 81 to Chicago and return 80 Is, and it is
said that on Saturday one of the roads will make
the rate 81. Ticket scalpsrs were yesterday
selling tickets to Dallas. Tex. at s.. Indian
apolis to Cincinnati and return the lowest
open rate 10 $3.50. but there Is ample evidence
thai lower rates being given. The sharpest
reduction which has been made 10 between
Cleveland and Chicago, the round trip rate be-
ing Substance ia miles A general man.
aeer remarked yesterday that the passenger
men were now having their fun: shortly heads
would begin TO drop into the basket and salaries
to drop.
