New YORK World.
The World has steadfastly commended that
CORPORAL Tanner has been an ill-used man
from the time of his appointment as PEN
sion commissioner until now. II was un-
kind and ungrateful In the President to
thrust him into a position OF SO much prem
inence with full knowledge OF his consti-
tutional inability to avoid making himself
ridiculous in the eyes of the whole country.
II was grossly ungratetul TO remove him
for having done with open mouth what the
administration with closed lips was trying
to do. 1t was injustice and Entertainment to
put one of his ordlnates-interested In
comprising his downfall-upon the COM
mission to Investigate his conduct in office.
And the subordinate, who Is now Mr..
tanners temporary successor, has so far
learned the Lesson TINT Tanner Is man
to be mercilesslY maltreated that he has
calmly undone the corporals most cher
ished work, the re-rating system. The cir
cumstance which marks this act as uR-
grateful beyond belief is the fact that this
acting commissioner, Hiram Smith, was
himself re-rated by Tanner, and pocketed
the comfortable sum Of $4,000 OF back pay
as the result OF the "liberap policy which
he has now ungratefully overthrown-the
policy We mean, not the $4,000. Finally
Private Dalzell, whom Tanner Entrusted
with the secrets of his soul, set forth in a
confidential letter, has allowed the letter to
find Its way into print--a treachery the ter
ror of which is that 1t must convince the
corporal that he can nevermore trust even
himself, knowing as he does that he is a
man like unto Dalzell In incapacity to re-
strain speech or keep secret. This last
blow is appalling in its destructivenss5.

CATTLE RATES our.


Fighting a Combination Which
Handles ALT the Stock.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2s.-A morning paper
says: II the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion next week decides that the Alton rail-
road has no right to compete for the
through cattle traffic from points west OF
the Missouri river at the same rates made
by the Rock Island or that It has no right
to lease cars to cattle shippers, 1t will at
once withdraw its through tariff and estab-
lish cattle rate from Kansas City to Chi
cago at S25 per car and guarantee that rate
to shippers for one year. This rate would
be on the basis OF 12l cents per 100 pounds,
or about one half the rates now charged.
Even fthe commission finds that Alton is
justified In making through rates from
points west of the Missouri river at the
agreed reduction in tariff, 1t will make the
above reduction II the cattle traffic con-
tinues to go almost exclusively by two or
three of the roads. These roads, the
Alton claims, have private arrangements
with Kansas City cattle shippers which
gave them an advantage over other roads
and these manipulations cannot be stopped
unless by such a general and radical reduc-
Ilon as above stated.

holding receipts from those who refused to
vote their ticket, tho plan having especial
reference to the colored voters. Their nice
project, however, was not allowed to be
carried out here and a great howl Of indig-
nation was the consequence. The people
saw through their little game and put =
stop TO 1t before much injury was done and
no attempts have since been made to
coerce the voters in that way.

whence comes the principal complaint,
profess their willingness 10 receive all

been refused. 1t is only when the intim-

the commission OF such outrages by maxi
