A RESTORATION OF RATES.
Those of the Northwest to Go Back
to the Old Basis.
NOVEMBER 20 DECIDED ON
Chairman W ailSer Renders a Decision
Equatizing the Charges on Salt
From W cstern Points
Other Railroad News.
Northwestern Rates FIXED.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.--[Special Telegram to
THE BEE. AT to-day's meeting OF the
northwestern and western divisions OF the
Western Freight association 1t was decided,
taking effec: November 90. TO restore north
western rates TO the old basis. This result
was brought about by the acceptance OF the
proposition made in the New York confer
ence of the Canadian $500 and trunk lines.
1t advances through rates about 75 per cent.
and local rates 33l6 per cent. The COM
modify tariff, which quoted still lower rates
locally, Is also abrogated. ...
The meeting was called on account of an
intimation by the trunk lines that they did
not propose TO be "monkeyed with"
This intimation was brought about aby
the refusal of the northwestern lines
n week ago to raise the rates in accordance
with the trunk lines proposition. 1t had the
effect of whipping the obstreperous north
western roads into line and forcing them to
advance. The last meeting failed to agree
because the ST. Paul road had issued a large
quantity of transit at ~ cents. This transit
was the only bone of contention to-day. 1t
was finally agreed that IN case shiprers
should offer to pay non-transit roads in st.
Paul transit it could be accepted at the ~
cent rate, but the st. Paul would redeem it
at 0 cents. The St. Paul, OF course, would
be allowed to redeem its own transit at 11s
cents. Beginning November 20 the flour
rate will consequently be advanced to IL
cents, except to the holders of the transit
! privileges.
The through rates agreed on from New
| York and Boston to st. Paul and Mime
| apolis via all lines are rs follows: 81. 15,
| 81 90, so CENTS Sc cents, 4S cents and 30 cents
on the SIX classes according to official
| classification.
The local rates from Chicago to ST. Paul,
| Minneapolis and Minnesota Transfer is us
| follows: 1. 60 cents; 2, 50 cents; 3, 40 cents;
| 4, 25 cents; 5, 20 cents; A, % cents; B. u
cents c. II cents; ID, IA cents; E, 13 cents.
Steps were also taken to restore rates to
| Mississippi river points, which had been
| lowered as far as Burlington in sympathy
| with the low ST. Paul rates. 1t was also
| decided to restore rates in Wisconsin and
| and between all other points where rates
| had been reduced by reason of the 6O-cent
| scale between Chicago and st. Paul.
committee was appointed to revise the
| existing rates in order that proper and
equitable conditions might prevail with re-
spect to rate adjustment generally.

a Hot Bromistde From the Well
Known LECTURER.

Known LECTURER.
New YoREd Nov. 4--TSpecial Telegram
to THE BEE. lI8propos OF the elections
here and the s6andidature of several ladies
for Office, ranging, from mayor of Brooklyn
70 school trustees in parts OF New York,
Kate Field has, issued a hot broadside
against woman politicians, In the course OF
which she makes an attack on the w. Q. L.
u. She declares that women do not govern
themselves, ana are incapable of governing
others, and DECLARES that this is proven by
the poor breeding OF American children, the
mothcrs having no influence over them.
After speaking of the average woman she
says;
lit is, then, from this same average
woman, whose intellect is unframed, whose
Judgment is faulty, but whose sentiment is
always to the fore, that most is to be feared
IN politics. III woman suffrage be the acme OF
female desire, then Mormon theocracy
should be the ideal government"
To prove the inability OF women to see
their own good, she cites the resolutions
adopted Mt mass meeting of women IN Salt
Lake City, in which women said Mormonism
was the only reliable safeguard of female
virtue and innocence. and the only sure pro.
| lection against the fearful sin OF prostitu-
ton. "These reasonable resolutions" Miss
| Field continued. "were cheered by nearly
| ak thousand women, and were unanimously
| adopted. In addition, a petition signed by a
| large number OF women, was sent to Wash
| ingtoh, protesting against congressional in
| terfercnce against what "a theocracy
| that had abolished the right
| of dover, that had proclaimed
| polygamy to bo divine, that had no laws
against bigamy, adultery, fornication or in
cest.
what women have done for politics south
| of Mason and Dixou's line, history records.
| What northern women are doing is SHOWN
| by the well organized BODY of energetic and
| aggressive women known as the 'Woman's
| Christian Temperance Union,' who mistake
| hysterical sentimentalty. for morality, and
| whose knowledge of the English language is
| as Limited as their knowledge of human ma
| ture. Thus far in our history, women have
| exerted a baleful influence on politlcs-first,
| as giving aio and comfort to rebellion; Sec
ond,as consolidating apolygamous theocracy; |;
| third, as being the prime movers in
| passing sumptuary laws as Incorporate as
they are unrepublcan, and which beget
lying, hypocrisy and cowardice. Southern
| women during the rebellion were governed
| by passion; Mormon women are actuated by
| a debasing religion; female prohibitionsts
| are controlled by personal suffering or by
sentimental fanaticism.
"That women will eventually exert n be-
| nign influence on politics / do not doubt, but
that blessed era will not arrive until preju-
| dice and feeling yield to reason, and knowl-
! edge of the world Is based on n more ex-
| tended observation than can be obtained by
| revolving round the family teacup."

an exception, men who left the party several
years ago, either because of prohibition or
