CHICAGO, February 15.-News of the
establishment of an enterprise in connec.
ton with the cattle trade, to be known as
the American Live Stock Express Com
psny, which will make the trip from
Chicago to the East in forty hours, is not
regarded with much enthusiasm among
Chicago shippers. One of Armour's rep
resentatives said this afternoon that there
was very little in the scheme except the
profits accruing from the patent Of the
new led cars. The time which is now
occupied In running from Chicago to New
York is about sixty hours,

John McGlone, of Dover. n. h, missed
his spaniel dog. He searched high and
low for it, but without success. He i'm
sgined that he used to hear the dogs bark
occasionally near the house, and concluded
that some neighbor must have the brute
tied up, and began to keep a sharp look
out. Just seventeen days after the dog
was missed he was sitting in the garden
near disused well, when he heard faint
bark as If issuing from the well. He made
an examination, and, sure enough, at the
bottom, in nine inches of water, he found
the lost dog. 1t was nearly skeleton, but
by care and attention il recovered, and is

seCampaign ISLANDERS"

1t is little late, perhaps, to refer to
any campaign ISLANDERS, but there was
one so gross that it demands reprOOf,
even after the election. We refer to a
statement by an anonymous coward in
last weeks issue of an alleged news
paper that the railroad commission of
which Col. Fletcher is a member had
exceeded its appropriation and that he
desired a reelection in order to lobby
to better advantage. A telegram to
Col. E. FL. Powell promptly elected the
information that of its two years. ap-
preparation of $4,000 the commission
still has to it's credit the handsome
sum of $4677 Or Exchange.
1t is an odd coincidence that the
anonymous coward" above referred
to followed the example of a certain
other anonymous coward" who at
tackled w. P. Stafford in the columns
of the above exchange over the pseu-
donym ok" 1t seems to make a diff
ference as to whose OK is gored.
AS to the above telegram from Col.
Powell, it was brought into the Gale
dOnian office and we offered to publish
it, but were told that its publication
was not specially desired. Now we
shall look with some interest to see if
the balance of $4677. O2 remains in the
state treasury after all the railroad
commissions bills are in and paid, and
the report of the two years work is be-
fore the people. If such proves to be
the fact we will cheerfully give the
commission credit for good manage
ment financially.

President Cleveland Accepts.

President Cleveland's letter accept
ing the democratic nomination was
published on Monday. The many ru-
mOrs concerning it that told of retrac-
tions from former positions taken by
him, and of modified views since his
message was issued, are all disproved
by the letter itself. He unqualifiedly
approves the st. Louis platform, makes
a strong plea for revenue reform, de-
nounces trusts and urges policy that
in his judgment will remedy existing
evils and discriminate in favor of la
Dor interests, concluding with sharp
attack on the republican platform.
His attitude in relation to taxation
remains the same. He maintains that
free government guarantees to every
American citizen the unrestricted per-
sonal use and enjoyment of all the re-
ward of his toll and of all his income,
except what may be his fair contribu-
ton to necessary public expense.
Hence it is the duty of free people to
insist that such expense should be
strictly limited to the actual public
needs, and that the rate of tariff
charges be limited accordingly. "Un-
necessary taxation is unjust taxation"
The surplus of SI3O,OOO,OO0 in the
treasury furnishes, he thinks, the best
OF evidence that the people are exorbi-
family taxed, this vast accumulation of
idle funds representing that much
money drawn from the circulating me-
