THE FREIGHT BLOCKADE,
Lumber Men Talk II Over and Will See
the Railroad Company.

The almost entire stoppage Of the freight
delivery of lumber by both roads running into
the city has been a serious matter to the many
local lumber dealers, and the complaints and
dsnunciations have been loud and many. A
number Of the prominent merchants have been
recently agitating the starting Of q new road
into the city or the revival Of the river trade
by the formation Of a steamship company.
THE MEETING LAST NIGHT.
The lumber dealers met last night at the
store Of Messrs. Barber 4 Ross at gil Pennsyl-
vania avenue TO express their opinions of rail-
refuse to deliver freight in particular. Most Of
The prominent lumber dealers of the city were
present. Mr. r II. Willett presided, with W. A.
II. Church acting as secretary.
Among others present were Thos W. Smith.
Henry L. Biscoe, Thos. b. Stephenson, Samuel
Ross, +. A. Belt, s. II. Wimsatt and VIM.
Wheatley.
THE SPEECHES.
Speeches were made by nearly all the gentle
men. and the impression seemed to be that the
roads were making no effort to accommodate the
perchants, but were deliberately neglecting
the freight interests Of the city. Mr.. Church
said that when 200 cars came in daily only 100
were unloaded, the companies making no effort
to get the cars unloaded Mr.. Wimsatt thought
the roads would never be satisfied until they
we're allowed to have their run on property not
belonging to them. He further stated that the
Pennsylvania company had been offered free
use Of ground to facilitate their lumber trade,
but had refused even to put in the sidings un-
less they should be paid for.
Mr.. Biscoe said that the claim was made by
superintendent Carter of the Baltimore and
Potomac road that the efforts of the railroad to
add to its facilities were not properly appreci-
ated, and did not receive proper support from
the business men.
TO WRITE Litter.
Messrs. Biscoe, Wimsatt, Smith and Ross
we're appointed a committee to prepare letter
% the Pennsylvania company setting forth their
grievances and TO ask relief.

RIFLE VERSUS BALLOT BOX.
A Republican View Of the Laee Election
I'm Mississippi.

J. NJ. Matthews, the chairman Of the republic
can state executive committee of Mississippi, 10
stopping at the Randall. Mr.. Matthews will be
remembered as the son Of ''Pent" Matthews,
one of the prominent Mississippi republicans,
who was shot at Hazlehurst, Miss., in 1883, it %
claimed, on account Of his republic IN proclivi-
| ties. A Sr AR reporter asked why General
Chalmer, the republican nominee for governor
at the recent election in Mississippi, had With
drawn from the canvass. Mr.. Matthews replied:
| "oHALMERs WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN MUIR
DERED
had he persisted In making the canvass, and no
one can tell how many other republicans would
| have met the same fate. The state is armed
like Q camp and the calling Of a republican
state convention was the signal for the pur-
chase and dist bution of thousands of repeat
ing rifles by the democrats. Chalmers could
have been elected by 80, 900 majority with
fair canvass and honest count"
THREE SEATS IN CONGRESS TO BE CONTESTED.
Mr.. Matthews said that the state committee
have decided that three out of the seven con.
gressional districts in Mississippi offer. good
grounds for contests, and that Chalmers Hill
and kernaghan were in Washington prepared
to push their claims.
MIR. Matthews attention was called to the in
terview with Colonel Hooker in the STAR of the
u.
Colonel Hookers remarks are correct.
OF COURSE THE ELECTION WAS QUIET,
there being no opposition; but Mr.. Hooker
failed to say why there was no opposition. He
very conveniently forgets the armed camp or
the Winchester and Henry rifles. notice also
that Colonel Hooker claims to have carried
every precinct in his district except one, which
Is hardly correct, a. Colonel Kernaghan, the
republican nominee for Congress- carried sew
eral precincts, and, with the exception of one,
all where there was q republican inspector Of
election. The district is overwhelmingly re-
publican, one county alone with fair count
showing 5000 republican majority.
THE ELECTION LAW DIsREaARDKD.
''The law in Mississippi in regard to in
speotors Of elections" continued Mr.. Matthews,
lis willfully disregarded The inspectors are
appointed by 9 board composed of the gov
ernor, lieutenant governor and secretary Of
state and the law states that they shall not be
of the same party. The democrats having the
machinery in their own hands knowingly and
willfully disregard the law and give the repub-
hcans no representation. The House, 1 am
sure, after q dispassionate investigation, will
seat all three Of the contesting republicans
from my state"

Our contemporary was taken
with the St. V1tus dance again Sat-
urday because the LEDGER is not
being conducted to suit It's editor.
A frown from u opponents means
a smile from the public, and We
are never so happy as when we in
cur their jealousy, for then we
know we are forging to the front.
Our contemporaries displeasure al
ways ends in an attempt to initiate
the very things complained of.
But We can afford to be generous,
as we are generally through with
and have cast off the new features
or advanced ideas of journalism
before our contemporary endeav-
ors to ape the same. Our worthy
contemporary should endeavor to
bear In mind that in editing the
LEDGER we never for a moment
consider what opinion it may have
of our efforts. One paper is all
we can look after, and we are never
so happy as when attending strict

JOHNNY GLOVER.
He Ran for Governor From the
Same Place.
From the st. Louis Republic.

Senator George G. Vest was in
the city last week. He was one of
a group of prominent Missourians,
including Gov. Francis, Congress
man William Fl. Hatch and Attor-
ey-General Wood, in the South
ern Hotel rotunda the other night.
George" said Mr.. Hatch,
addressing the little Senator, "did
you see that dispatch from Wash
ington the other day stating that
Johnny Glover was going to run
against you for the senatorship and
that he was going to knock the head
out of the bar'l again?"
"No, 1 didn't see that" replied
the Senator. Then after pausing q
moment, all the time looking the
Congressman squarely in the eye,
he said oppealingly-at least with
that effect; "Dia the dispatch say
whether he was going 60 rgn from
Washington or Missouri" That
was ell that was said about the
senatorship in that party.

EUROPEAN politics are now in
shape to form the basis of a good
comic opera plot. The falling
upon each others necks, which has
engaged so much of the time of the
heads of the great powers during
the few months last past, has left
abundant leisure for the laying of
plans to fall on each others Threats,
and the day may not be far distant
when the knife of the banquet hall
will give place to the sword of the
field. Then the curtain will ring
down on the farce and the tragedy
will come in with a crash.

Observation-Disclosures forUsury

RemarkablePu Punishment forUsury,
TOPEKA, KAN, Oct. 2S.-The
last Legislature passed a bill
regulating rates of interest and
Furnishing any one who took usury.
1t provides, if excessive interest or
usury is charged, that the lender l.
liable to loss of both principal
and interest, and cannot by law
collect either. The first case ofthe
kind was decided in the District
Court of this city yesterday.
Many years ago David Hutchinson
borrowed IS, 900 from H. D. Booge,
a money-lender, who was secured
by a real estate mortgage ofS12, 900,
with excessive rates of interest.
Hutchinson died and Booge sold the
notes and mortgage to n Hub
bell, of Des Moines, Iowa, who
brought suit for foreclosure against
Hutchison's heirs some months
ago. The defendants pleaded
usury. The execution of the note
and interest was acknowledged, but
the jury rendered a verdict for the
defendants, not giving Hubbell
anything. They completely wipeo
out even the debt of $4,000
acknowledged and the interest.
