TIE LAST CUT IN DRESSED BEEF RATES

Chicago, July 1G.--Ihe Erie and the Chicago and

beef to-day, dropping cent to cents per 100 pounds
from Chicago 10 Ncw-York. For the first time since
the fght began the Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania lines

the freight of the Michigan Central the Lake Shore

resulting in agreement to ignore the action OF the
Chicago and Atlantic for day. The trouble Is that
the Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania roads getting ali
tho dressed beef business that tho rate is so low
that every carload represents loss to the companies
handling it, The Chicago and Atlantic has carried no
dressed beef out of Chicago for several days for tho
that gave notice TO shippers last week that at
the present low rate their shipments would have to
take the chances with ordinary freight instead of being
forwarded by the special fast freight trains. The
agents Of the other roads declare that they will glvo

may happen. 1t Is the general belief that there
Will be no further reductions of dressed beef and cattle

rose up in revolt against his peculiar
political methods, and the Democrats
never said one-half of the mean things
about Guerrilla BILLY" that his own
party friends said about him in the late
Chicago convention. And it must have
been that every word they said was
true, OF the convention would not have
squelched him SO summarily.
We opine that QUAY and MALONE
have other meat than ballot publication
in the pot. There is fellow feeling
between these two noted Republicans.
They are birds of feather who have
always tiocked together. 1t so happens
just at this time that MAHoNE is in dis
grace with his party and QUAY is en-
deavoring to put him on his feet again.
QUAY has use for MALONE in carrying
out some political schemes that are be-
ing laid for the future, and the only way
that he can use him is first to have him
restored in favor with the HARRISON
regime. If he can pose MALONE before
the county as ballot purifier, he thinks
it will give him standing with the
Sunday school administration which
Gen. HARRISON is expected to lnau-
gurate. and thus he can be utilized
in promoting the peculiar Pennsylvania
idea which Senator QUAY is Matching.
QUAY may succeed in pulling the wool
over the eyes of the HARRISON admin
istration, but he can never beguile the
great mass Of the people into believing
that WILLIAM MALONE ever had an
honest thought concerning ballot purifi-
cation or election reform.

WANTED HIS DINNER.

There is an old saw that the only way
to civilize an Indian is to kill him. 1t
now seems that the way to placate a
bloodtlirsty brave is to fill him up with
good victuals. Since his return from a
recent visit to Washington SITTING
BULL has been mad as wet hen-so mad
in fact that fears have been entertained
he would go Oh the warpath again. 1t
has all along been supposed his bovine
anger was excited because of his failure
to strike the interior department for an
eytortimate price for the Sioux reserva-
ton lands. 1t turns out. however, that
he hasn't been fretting about that. He
is mad because Mr.. CLEVELAND omit
ted to invite him to take dinner at the
White House, and late reports from
Standing Rock bring information that
Chief BULL derives an immense deal of
comfort from the result of the late cleo
ton.

REApPoRTIoNMENT.

The Zumbrota Independent says that
the representatives of Southern Mime
sofa in the next legislature have COM
mand of the situation, and if they are
wise they will not permit it TO be
wrested from them. We fail to catch
at what our Zumbrota friend is driving.
1t is true that Southern Minnesota has
the largest proportion of the representa-
ton in the legislature, but hasn't it ever
been So? Southern Minnesota has no
more advantage now than it has always
had. We fail to see the point OF
our contemporaries argument, un-
less it applies to the question
of legislative reapportionment, and we
would dislike to think that so respecta-
bic paper would advocate an unjust
exercise of power. A eapportionment
or the state on a fair basis would I'M
Questionably increase the representa-
ton of the northern part of the state !;
yet this is no argument against reap
portionment. There are no sectional
interests in this state of so great con-
sequence as to neceSSitate the perform
ance of an act of injustice to retain
power in any one section. The inter
ests of the northern part of the state
are perfectly secure with the balance of
power on the southern side of the line.
If the conditiouszwere reversed, and the
northern section had the preponderance
of legislative representation, the inter
ests of the southern part of the state
would be equally secure. The question
of reapportlonment is not a sectional
one; it is simply question of doing
equal and exact justice to all parts of
the state.

WANTED TO DECLINE.

a writer in the Chicago Times recalls
some incidents of the ST. Louis conyen-
ton which give the impression that at
about the time that body assembled
President CLEVELAND had ii in mind to
decline denomination. This fact was
CLEANED from a number OF personal in
teryiews with gentlemen who were as
near being in the confidence of the
president as any one ever gets. A Viz
ginia congressman who claimed to
speak by the card told the Chicago man
that Mr.. CLEVELAND was chatting
under the complaints which were con-
tinually pouring in upon him from
Democratic sources of the lack of Dem
ocratic methods in his administration.
He was not en- rapport with his party,
and be felt that his party was not
Ell rapport with him. So strong was
his conviction in this direction that,
while he appeared to the outside world
to be Indifferent to criticism, yet those
nearest to him knew that he was FESTIVE
under tine conditions which surrounded
HIM, and had an inward longing to be
nomination. ROSWELL p. FLOWER is
quoted as having said that he was con-
scious of Mr.. CLEvELAND's disposition
to decline denomination, but that the
welfare OF the party imperatively de-
manded it, SO that the president really
had no discretion in the matter.
1--WE have got to take him, as he
has got to take US. That's the
size of it," said Mr.. FLOWER. Not to
have renominated CLEVELAND would
have been construed by the country as
an admission that Democratic admins
tration had been failure. The party
managers realized this, and while Gov.
head the ticket and went to st. Louis to
make fight for the nomination, it was
soon realized that unless the nomina-
ton were given to Mr.. CLEVELAND in
an apparently spontaneous and warm
hearted way he would surely decline
and leave the party in the lurch. One
gentleman occupying q high judicial
position, who was present at st. Louis
not as delegate, but as an adviser, is
| accredited with an opinion expressed at
the time the convention was in session,
| that Mr.. CLEVELAND ought to decline
because there was no possibility of his
carrying New York in the face OF the
opposition of the HILL faction. and es-
pecially as he had no dashing leader
| like MANNING to lead TO victory. In
the light of what has subsequently oc-
Cured, these incidents are exceedingly
| Interesting

GEN. PALMER's WITHDRAWAL

The Republlcan papers are good deal
disturbed over the action of Gen.
PALMER in Illinois. in withdrawing
from the G. A. R. on the ground that it
has been diverted to partisan agency.
The general was one of the last of the
volunteer soldiery to be mustered out.
was one of the organizers and earliest
department commanders of the G. A. r.
in his state. He is not narrow groove
man, and does not carry politics out of
its normal range. He is not likely to
take this step in a petulant mood, or in
consequence of personal defeat. The
local post at the capital of Illinois is
largely made up of Republican politi-
clans. and the grounds of complaint
may have been specially conspicuous
there. but an organization that has SO
many commendable features can hardly
be too rigid in adherence to its original
purpOrt.

WORTH LOOKING INTO,

When the post-mortem disscctors get
around to it, they will find opportunity
for their exercise in the fact that the
Democrats elected everybody on the
general ticket in New York state, eX
cept the presidential candidates, by
pluralities ranging from 1850 to $4,000.
The candidates for the state judiciary
no doubt polled the straight party vote.
without scratching, and the Democrats
had about $500 plurality. Gen. HAIR
RIsoN and MIR. MORTON were the only
Republicans who carried the state. The
explanations are numerous enough, but
not quite satisfactory. A good many
Democrats evidently cut the head of the
ticket for reasons. probably most of them
