President Strong,s Sche me

CHICAGO, December 14.-When Presi-
dent Strong, of the Atchison road, was in
Chicago recently he submitted to the
Presidents OF the various roads plan ior
a temporary agreement designed to se-
cure the maintenance of rates for sixty
days from January lst., the idea being
to keep the rates up to pay
ing basis during the winter sea-
son, or till such time as the
financial rulers of the road are
ready to spring their next big scheme.
The unusual feature of the plan is the
provision that if any subordinate officer
of road shall be found guilty OF cutting
rates, he will be promptly divested OF
the rate making power. The agreement,
of course, will not be put into effect with
out the unanimous consent of the roads
interested, and there seems to be con-
siderable doubt as to whether they can
all be brought into line.

EDITOR HERALD: - Since H n
Boyd, Union Labor candidate for
Representative attended the Old Sol
dlers Reunion at Long Island. he
has been trying to apologize for his
conduct there by duplicating others.
Mr.. Boyd has been trying to create
the impression that the beer said to
have been sold near the camp grounds
was done by the direction of the Post
and for the benefit Of the Post. This
statement Mr.. Boyd has made re-
peatedly at times and places where
he thought 1t would not lose him
votes, IN order to apologize for his
drinking. At other times and ii pri-
vate conversation MIR. Boyd is apollo
giving to old soldiers and tells them
he did not intend to cast any refiec-
ton on the Post. nor did not wish it
understood he thought the Post got
any Of the proceeds of the beer. Now
when does Mr. Boyd wish it under
stood that he Is telling the truth2 Is
1t when he denies the charge to his
comrades, or was it when he wrote
the following extract IN a letter to d.
w. Thomas, of PrairievieW a few
days ago:
1t would afford me some satisfaction to tell
about Long Island, and tell that the beer sold
there wac ssld by officers OF the Post for the ben
eft of the Post. That the Marshal done the sell
ing, etc; that it backed mp by q revenue
stamp, in the hands OF q good Republican. etc.
say It would give satisfaction, for it has been
told all over the county that was present where
beer was sold and drank, and want TO be able
to tell who else was drinking beer at an old sol
diers reunion, Bro Hanback, and many more
might figure cOnspicuouEly. Don't hesitate on
my account but fire away, il might ease your
mind and the result would please the boys.
Old soldiers, what do you think of
COmrade Boyd's actions in this mat
ter? Do you want man to repre-
sent you IN the state Legislature who
has so little regard for the truth? 1
think not Respt'y,
j. NJ SALLEE.
