Looking Forward.

CHICAGO, March 3.-Ihe meeting on
Monday of the chairman of the
grievance committees is looked for
ward 20 with great anxiety by both
Burlington officials and brotherhood
officers. Upon the outcome of this
meeting depends on the course
of Chief Arthur. Should reasonable
excuse be found for it on any one west
ern road the brotherhood men will be
probably called out. 1t is believed by
many that every western road is liable,
strict neutrality construction, to
have its men taken out by
next Tuesday morning. The Off
GERS of the brotherhood admit now
that nothing satisfactory will come of
their order to the engineers and fire.

order has not been obeyed, the tenn
porary check put upon the knights
who came to this city yesterday to

been removed and the Burlington can
resume the work of hiring willin g

sending back east twenty-five or thirty

brotherhood money to accom-

it was not thought that the brother

such pressure from the public

not attempt to do SO until we have
completely modified our local traffic;
then we will receive and handle
through freight, and should any
attempt be made TO cut us of from ac-
commodation by connecting lines,
we will try what virtue
there is in the interstate commerce
law. We can compel other roads to
handle our cars or we can make them
pay S., 900 for every car they refuse to

now almost to our usual capacity on
| the Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri lines
| and will have our own line service
complete next week. The fight on
other roads by the brotherhood will be
made solely on account OF freight
traffic.

respondence between Col. A. w. Wills,
of this city, and Senator John Sher-
man is made public under date of the
18th ult. Col. Wills writes to Senator
Sherman referring to Mr.. Blaine's
withdrawal as a factor in solidifying
the republican vote, and the influence
in Tennessee in favor of Mr.. Sherman,
and continuing in a complimentary
manner to deny the charges that Mr..
Sherman was guilty of extreme
inconsistency in his Nashville and
Springfield speeches; He closes by
calling upon Mr.. Sherman for any
open and honest aid he can give
towards maintaining and advancing
republican principles in Tennessee.
The following is Mr.. Sherman's re-
ply:
Feb. 49,, 1888. {
MY DEAR SIR:-Your kind note of
| the 18th inst. is received. You are
certainly right, that there was no diff
| ference in sentiment or purpose be-
tween my speeches at Nashville and
| Springfield. Every word l uttered at
| Nashville can repeat with entire sim
cerity. 1 do not wish to revive the an
imosities of the war and what l said
there of Confederate soldiers, theiI
honesty and courage, 1 have said over
and over again. My ar
raignment of the democratic
party at Springfield is also historically
true and entirely consistent with my
| Nashville speech. l do think the
democratic party of the north during
and since the war has occupied much
worse position than the confederate:
of the south. The latter fought openly
for what they conceived to be right
while the democratic organization die
precisely what l said they did in m!
Springfield speech. What / desir'
in the future is franl
and full discussion of the policy of pro
lection as it affects the industry ant
prosperity of our people, north ant
south. do think the southern peopl
ought to faithfully observe the 15tl
amendment, and make no distinction
on account of race and color in tn
right to vote. The difficulty in tn
way of enforcing this amendment
ought to be an appeal to their patriot
ism to support alike every clause of tn
+ constitution.
Very truly yours,
! JOHN SHERMAN.
