BETTER RATES EXPECTED.
A Lower Local Tariff on Hogs and Cattle
for the Packing House.


A general freight agent of one of the
Fort Worth lines is reported 10 have said
d day or SO ago that he would like to
see every hoOf of beef cattle and hogs
originating on his line delivered to the Fort
Worth packing house, and that if = low
local tariff would do it he would put it
in. and he had 4 great mind TO try the
experiment The reason is very simple
one If the Fort Worth packing house can
handle the stock local tariff can be put
in considerably lower than the present To-
cal and yet which will net more revenue
to the road than if the same stock was
shipped to Kansas City and his line got
its usual percentage Of the through rate
Even if scaled down 10 the amount de-
rived from the Kansas City shipments
the percentage on Chicago shipments
would be much less, so that tariff from
- to 1875 per cent lower on local to
Fort Worth would be more profitable to
the road than the present local and the per-
ceutaEe of through business. OF course the
matter depends entirely upon the capacity
Of the packing house, Us if the road put in
the low tariff il would expect TO almost en-
tirely cut Off through shipments on beef
cattle and hogs The moment this tariff
goes into effect it is expected a howl about
discrimination Will 60 up, but as the Fort
Worth packing house is the only one in the
state capable of handling any amount of
stock that would render it worth the while
of Il road 10 quote special tariff, the ques
ton of discrimination would not be of much
avail Ii is understood the new tariff will
be out in few days, when The GAZETTE
Will take pleasure in publishing it and
noting the reduction.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE London and
New York stock market opened strong.
Gold to the amount of 100000 was ordered
for export at the sub treasury. This caused
a decline. After the early dealings st.
Paul, Atchison, Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy were the leaders of the morning
market. st. Paul's strength was partially
attributed TO the reported increase of ST.
6S2 in the gross earnings for the second
week in April. Northern Pacific showed
evidence of support.
st. Paul was weaker after early dealings,
and Burlington and Rock Island were the
strong features of the afternoon.
The bond market was fairly active and
strong.
Texas and Pacific second incomes were
actively dealt in and advanced sharply.
Kansas and Texas rs and As were also
strong and higher
The other strong features were Wabash

the appropriation bills, and go home"
That is about all that will be accom-
plished during the next three months.
Tho committee on appropriations has
boon hard at work for ten days past,
and their work is pretty we'll in hand
All of tho important bills arc about
ready to DO introduced, and tho chair
man, Mr.. Cannon. hopes to havo at least
ono of them, the legislative bill, passed
before tho Christmas holidays. BY tho
say, tho people have elected a man TO
succeed 200 Cannon, as he is Familiarity
called. The people know what they
want in this country, and their will is
above all question:; it is imperial.
Nevertheless, my readers will pardon
the parenthetical expression right here,
that the retirement of Joe Cannon is re-
GREETED by all who know him in Wash
ington, regardless Of politics. Ho is q
genial, whole-souled, honest man.
While not SO polished as his predeces-
sor, Hon. Samuel j. Randall, Mr.. Can
non is like that distinguished statesman
in the rugged honesty of his character.
Samuel j. Randall, as chairman Of the
committee on appropriations. saved his
country many millions OF dollars, by
his ability to say No" Joe Cannon
was like unto him. Such men arc re-
numbered long after their career Of
public usefulness Is cut short by the
people, Randall was Democrat; Can
non is Republican. Here in Washing
ton we correspondents soon become the
most non-partisan fellows on tho scene.
and learn to love pure characters and to
hate Impure characters. regardless Of
thoir political affiliations.
There will be little time for tho con-
sidcration and passage of private claims,
and many disappointments await those
who arc looking for Congressional action
during tho coming session. Many eyes
will be red with weeping, many hearts
be rent with grief. Men and women
having claims against tho Government
1.-Two, grow old. dccrepit. and die, often,
before their claims arc allowed. The
Government Of this Republic is heart

fairly wrung out Of tho Wallis OF the
Treasury by force. Little Dir. Mary
Walker, who served her country we'll

consideration OF just claim for tho
past twenty-five years, and she is but
