THE HOWARD CASE.
The Plaintiff Makes a Statement In His
Own Behalf


To the Editor of The Appeal.
Dear Sir--As in number Of previous
communications to your valued paper,
your Jackson correspondent has unfairly
represented me in his sketch Of yesterdays
proceedings relative to the libel suit insti-
tuted by me. He says that the court ruled
that should disclose the names and resi-
dences OF my London witnesses by June
II, and frames his report so rs to lead the
public to believe that the witnesses are
unknown. The truth is that my London
witnesses have been examined and cross
examined by the defendants and their
dispositions have been on file in the circuit
court for four months. The rule (which |
am advised is unauthorized) requires me
to be more specific in furnishing the adj
dresses OF two witnesses. In none OF the
reports sent TO THE APPEAL from Jackson
has the fact been stated that at successive
terms of the court / have announced my
self for trial and repeatedly urged that the
case should be tried without delay upon
its merits, openly charging that which
everybody here knows is true viz: that
the defendants will never be willing for q
trial, and that they have tried, by every
means they could conceive, TO prevent n
| trial. This demonstrated on yesterday.
as your correspondent did not inform your
readers, by offering in open court to with.
draw my London dispositions entirely If
defendants would then consent TO trial.
| did this TO deprive them OF excuse
for their procrastination, and because
| have ample evidence without the
dispositions, but the defendants coun.
sci said in the event they would
ask for time to take further testimony in
Georgia II was on this plea, together
with the excuse that they intended 10 re-
cross-cxamino my London witnesses, that
the case was continued from the last
february term, but they have done
nothing in the interval OF course your
correspondent did not state this, and ] an
sorry to say that only one side has beer
represented by his pen. do not believe
that the interests OF THE APPEAL will b'
advanced in this community by partisan
reports, and my numerous friends are nat
urally indignant that n papero proicssedl!

70 the Linck zouaves.
There has been a report in circulation
for the past day or two that the manage
ment Of the Nashville interstate drill had
conceded a change Of decision and given
the Merchants Zouaves, OF this .city, first
place. The report arose from the recep-
ton by Capt. Defrey Of n check for $500,
but this was believed 10 be an addition TO
the $3.50 supposed TO have been already
collected by the company on its winnings,
or second prize. An APrEAL reporter
called upon the captain yesterday and OBJ
tanned from him an explanation that ELECT
ually settles the rumor. The company re-
oeiyed only $3.50 from the drill manage
ment, leaving balance OF 500. This was
the account liquidated. Capt Deilrey
could not suppress hearty laugh when
10 darmed Of the reported change, giving
his company first place.
"There is one thing You may announce
ar strictly business, added the captain,
speaking seriously. The Nashville Demo
Graf has howled considerably over our
protest Of the decision, stating that Del

ROUGH ON ROCK ISLAND.
Jobbers Of Davenport Sue for an Aggre-

EXToRTION is ALLEGED.
On Monday There viii Be a Big
Bulge in Freight
Rates.

SPECIAL to the Globe.
DAvENPoRT, To-. Dec. 15.-The most
important litigation yet entered upon
because of the questions involved be-
tween the business men of Iowa and
the railroad companies, was begun IN
the district court here to-day, by five
heavy jobbers and manufacturers res
ident in Davenport, namely: Nanpat-
ten & Marks, wholesale dry goods; w.
G. Wadsworth d Co., wholesale dry
goods: Roddewig, Schmidt q Co.. whole
sale crackers; Sickles, Predon d Co.,
wholesale hardware; and Robert
Krause. wholesale clothier. There are
twenty-four suits, and each one brought
against the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railroad company, to recover
the sum of $1,000. or an aggregate OF
$4,000. The suits are brought by
Attorney General Baker on complaint
of the above named jobbers and manu-
facturers, who charge the railroad com
pany with eXtortion in illegal freight
rates. The jobbers and manufacturers
claim they have been charged much
higher rates for the transportation OF
their merchandise by the railroad COM
pany than the reasonable maximum
rate made and fixed by the state rail-
road commissioners, and in effect at the
time the company received and accepted
their merchandise for transportation.
This is sample of the litigation that is
to be entered upon by the jObbers and
manufacturers Of Dies Moines. Dubuque,
Burlington, KeOkuk and other cities in
the state.

GOMPER'S GREAT GRAFT.
He Is Reelected President OF the
Federation of Labor.

Special 10 the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Dec. 15.-The report
of the committee on the eight-hour
work day was submitted TO the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor last evening.
1t recommended the holding of mass
meetings to interest laborers in the
eight-hour movement all over the coun-
try in Feb. %. 1889; July 4. 1889; labor
day first Monday in September, 1889,
and Feb. -, 1890. The date
for the Inauguration of the eight
hour day was fixed for May l, 1890.
The matter of an official organ OF the
federation was brought up on commit
tee report referring a resolution to es-
tabliSh such an organ to the incoming
executive council. Mr.. Shields, of New
York; q. X. Lake, of st. Louis, and
Secretary p. }. Mcclure opposed the
establishment of an organ, tavoring the
Endorsement of trade organs known to
be favorable to the federation. Mr.. Nc
CURE was vehemently opposed to new
organ. He said that the federation was
never properly represented in the labor
papers of the country until the
Baltimore convention wiped out the
paper carried on in the interest of the
federation. Since that time the Leader.
of Boston; Standard, of PittSburg, and
other representative papers, have de-
voted considerable portion of their
space TO its interests. In spite of the
support the substitute received, il was
defeated 10y the convention. The rec
ommendation of the committee was also
rejected. Later. resolution was
adopted asking all papers favorable to
the federation to advocate the eight
hour day and other matters. The New
Order and the Tageblatt, labor
papers of st. Louis, were thanked for
their services, and the city press re-
ceived the thanks of the convention.
There were numerous resolutions pro-
posed on various subjects and acted on.
At 80 the convention went into cleo
ton of officers. Mr.. Dillon placed in
nomination for president, Samuel Com
perS, the present incumbent. There
were no other nominations and the sec
rotary cast the ballet of the convention
for Mr.. Gompcrs. The president, act
ing and eject, was formally introduced,
and thanked the convention for so hon
oriug him. Daniel Mclaughlin
was reelected to the office of
first vice president. William Martin
was reelected second vice president,
and Henry Enrich was elected treas
urer. The constitution was then amend
en- TO provide for the election of truS-
tees 20 receive the bonds of the presi-
dent and treasurer by the convention,
instead of by the executive council,
which is composed of the president,
vice president, secretary and treasurer.
At . o'clock the delegates reaSSembled
aud disposed of some formal and routine
matters of little general interest, adj
journing at an early hour until the
second Tuesday of next December.

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-The advance in
freight rates between Chicago and the
Atlantic seaboard on both east and
west-bound traffic will go into effect
Monday. No attention Will be paid by
the other lines to the cut of cents on
dressed beef by the Baltimore 81 Ohio.
The most important feature Of the adj
vance is the restoration Of high grain
rate. In anticipation of the advance,
the grain tonnage of the past few days
has been enormous. A falling off will
now doubtless ensue, but the reaction
will be speedily Offset, it is expected,
by the heavy corn movement which is
now steadily growing in volume.
