Passenger Rates Cut

Passenger Rates Cut
CHICAGO. Sept. 20.-The Southern Pa
cifc Railroad has given notice Of its
withdrawal from the Western Traffic Asso-
citation. 1t seems that the great Huntington
corporation is getting ready TO fight its
northern competitors who had defied it by
breaking away from the TranscOntinen
Association. The Western Traffic Associa-
ton is now practically dead and 1t is be-
leved in railroad circles that its affairs will
be wound up at the next meeting of the adj
ysory board on October II. The TranscOn-
tinental Association is also going to pieces
rapidly and the only association west Of
Chicago which is really of any value is the
Western Freight Association.
Without any explanation the Nickel Plate
has put into effect passenger rate of S12 80
from Chicago to New York. being cut of
81 80. The chairman Of the Central Traffic
Association is trying to find out what it
means and TO prevent decentralization, but
a rate war seems likely.

KANSAS INSPECTION LAW.

The law enacted at the last session of
the Kansas legislature, providing for the
inspection, weighing and grading Of
Kansas grain by Kansas inspectors, has
been in operation one year. 1t has been
successful far beyond the anticipation of
its most enthusiastic advocates. Here is
what Mr. Lawrence n. Jones, president
of the Kansas City, Kan, board of trade,
said at the recent banquet to the Demo
cratic editors:
'There is one important industry to
which | wish to call especial attention,
and that is the weighing and grading of
grain under the late inspection law I'm
til one year ago the grain received at this
point was weighed and inspected by men
from another state. For the last year
the Kansas shipper has had the priv
ilege of having his grain weighed and
inspected by Kansas men and according
to Kansas laws, and l am pleased to say
that the first year proves the wisdom of
our legislature in enacting the law. The
tirst years business shows that we have
in round numbers 81, 900 cars,
a value Of $4,000, 900 and
out OF that great number there have been
but four appeals from our inspection. and
two of those were decided in our favor

perhaps, in the district 10000
Democratic votes, and should the Demo
Gratis nominate straight ticket we have
nothing to fear. Mr.. HallowelI will not
be a candidate again, and since the last
election the strength of my party in the
district has grown fully 90 per cent.
The same may be said Of it throughout
the state. Then, too, came here with
out any reputation. Since then / have
not been idle, and | believe am not now
unknown, nor am |, among my people
at least, unfavorably known. | am con-
iident that l will be sent back to con-
gress, and | have no fears of either a
straight Republican or straight Demo
cratic ticket or the two combined.
Generally, | may say the Alliance is
on a grand boom. We will make large
gains in the West, and it is my judy
ment also that we will surprise the
whole country in the result in the South.
The Alliance will cut more of figure in
the next congress than it does in this,
assure you"

of depression has passed. The comp
troller said that the examination just
IN ade of the national banks of Kansas by
the department examiners showed that
the banking interests of Kansas were IN
better condition than for several years.
The comptroller said:
This is conclusive evidence to me
that Kansas is rapidly recovering
from the recent depression in
that state. When we'll established
banks become crippled and fail to meet
the requirements of the banking laws,
which was the condition of quite num-
Der of banking institutions in Kansas a
year or two ago, it is a very certain sign
that the business of the state is democrat
lied. At one time during the days OF
depression in Ksn5as we were closing up
bank in that state almost every month.
In some cases it was OF course due to the
reckless management, but in many in
stances it was because OF the bad condl-
ton of affairs that existed throughout
the state. Bad crops and low prices con-
tributed very largely, and then your
state got bad name in the east and
everybody wanted TO take their money
out of Kansas.
Without ever having been near the
state | have been able to see a de-
cided improvement. The returns from
the banks is the best kind of barometer
as to the condition OF business, and, as l
said before, our reports from that section
offer unmistakabIe evidence of better
times. Instead of closing a bank in Kan
sas every month, we have closed only
one-if / remember correctly-in the
last six months. A letter / have today
from prominent banker of SedgwIck
county tells me that farmers are meeting
their obligations promptly, that business
men as well as farmers are steadily
wiping out their Indebtedness, that crop
prospects are good, and that altogether
the situation is much more encouraging
than it has been for years. l am glad TO
know this, for Kansas has certainly had
more than her share of adversely and
misfortune"

The Wichita EAGLE says: 1--WE believe
that Kansas has as intelligent and as we'll
meaning class of business men as any
other state" Certainly, and they buy in
the largest markets, as business men
everywhere do.-Kansas City Gazette
That is to say, Kansas business men,
like all other intelligent and honest
business men, consult their own best in
terests and the interest of those they
serve, in not buying where they can not
buy to the best advantage, and in the
case in point they are protesting against
the long prevailing discrimination against
them in freight rates because such con-
dltlOn debars them from conserving
their own and the public's best inter
ests in the matter of purchasing supplies
and in disposing of Kansas surplus
products. Kansas business men have
long realized the disadvantage at which
they have been placed, and they mean
10 have the inequalities cured before
they give up the contest, just as intel
Hgent and well meaning business men
everywhere do.

As showing the utter disregard for
consistency and lack of conviction of
principle, and without taking the trouble
to give facts play with words the
Mo-, Aurora Gazette, says:
1T has not been six, and hardly two
months, since every Democrat editor in
Missouri was furiously fighting in favor
of free coinage and declaring that il should
take precedence over all other issues. The
Democratic congress at the demand of the
east sat down on free coinage, and now
these same editors are exhibiting the souls
of footmen and the spirits of spanlels
which they possess, by every one Ginning
in that the tariff is the most important
question and must again be the issue"
And what is true of that following in
Missouri is equally true of it in every
other western and southern state, as
will be demonstrated little later, when
Cleveland and anti-free silver is made the
party platform.
