Interested.

The Texas roads are having a, little pic
mic in grain rates II appears that about
two years ago rate Of % cents was au-
thorized on corn from Texas common
points to New Orleans. This was done 10
enable Texas 10 compete against the cheap
corn coming down the river. But Texas
oats being in good demand for seed pur-
poses beyond the Mississippi, the rate on
that grain was fixed ut 80 cents. This
corn rate was, however, never put into
effect until two days ago, when one OF the
roads gave rate Of % cents. Another
road getting on to IT, and thinking the
first road was trying 10 make sneak on
some oats forthwith announced rate of
20 cents ON oats, Nhercupon third road
comes in and makes q rate OF 20 cents on
all Mississippi river points. The rates
yesterday were on oats from Texas com.
mon points 10 Memphis, Little Rock, Pine
Bluff and New Orleans 20 cents, the tariff
being 70 cents 10 Memphis and New Or.
leans, and %. cents 10 Little Rock and
Pine Bluff. The reduction To Shreveport.
Houston and Galveston Is from 20 To l2l
cents This will, however, only last few
days, ~ the Texas Traffic association, now
In session In New York, has promulgated
new grain tariff from Texas common
points TO Mississippi river points, effective
Aug. Z. There is n reduction ol cents ON
oats and an advance Of cents on corn IN
the new tariff.

thirds vote Of the people, but will noA
consent to become q tool OF Germany.
Our sympathies are all with the following
Of Mataafa, and 1t may be hoped that the
determined courage Of his followers and
the flrmneys OF the American and Eng
lish consuls may save these islands from
the arbitrary iron heel OF the chancellor
Of Germany. Bismarck's policy does not
seem TO work very cheerfully outside OF
Germany for its application In the Afri-
can colonies is the first cause OF all the
trouble there, and In Samoa the bluff
German ways prove red rag to John

Foreign Comments,

In conversation with Col. John Atkln-
oon. a Republican lawyer Of Detroit, Mr..
Gladstone Is quoted as saying that Eng
land would gain immensely by freer trade
N America but that America would gain
stu more. lie asked an explanation Of
ths strong protective attitude Of Ameri.
cans, but on his side was content with
broad generalizations and unassailable
l pr0phesies, as, for example, this, "As
long as America maintains protection,
&ngland will be the foremost Of CONNER
/ ctal nations, but when America adopts
tree trade we must take second place.
Il We would have some faith in this
prophecy If altered to make the reform of
3 our tariff system the condition of com.
merciai supremacy. The wise old man
confessed that every nation must Judge
Tor itself what is best, and said that be
would never argue with man from
another country abeut purely domestic
amairs. In this same conversation he
showed how hard it is for the people OF
one nation to grasp correct notion of
ne state of things prevailing in another.
This well.read, wide.awake Statesman
Was surprised TO learn that ia the late
election the Irish vote had not deserted
n . body to the Republican party. He
oaid that in England it was generally
supposed that that was the case. He was
also very doubtful when told that public
sympathy in America was in favor OF
home rule because Mr.. Chamberlain had
1eported that he had found no Americans
