CHICAGO, October 5.-Chairman Midgely,
of the Western Freight association, reports
that the southwestern Missouri nver roads
are doing an enormous east bound business.
During the month of September the ship
ments of cattle from Kansas City amounted
to about 5000 car loads, the heaviest move
ment ever known in a single month. The
shipments of wheat from Kansas City during
the same per1od amounted to upwards of
1000 car loads. ALI roads were SO crowded
with business that they were cramped for
cars with which to fill their orders, and it
was largely due to this state of affairs that
east bound freight rates from the Missouri
nyer continue steady.

At the second quadrennial convention OF
Tie national associ alton OF democratic clubs,
Mr.. Cleveland opened his address of vel
come to his city and state thus:
Il affords me special pleasure to extend to
you on this occasion hearty welcome. As
= citizen of this proud municipality am
glad to assure you that our hospitality 10 al
Ways open and generous In a community
distinguished for its Americanism ana toler-
1fion In all matters of belief and judgment
i know may extend cordial greeting to
those who here represent thoughtfulness and
sincerity. As an unfolding and persistent
believer in Democratic principles, trust
need not hesitate to pledge to the represent
atiyes ct organized democracy the good will
and fraternal sympathy of this democratic
city.
Those who subscribe to the creed of this
association and make any claim to sincerity
can hardly excuse themselves for lack of eff
foft, at q time when the necessities of the
government, economically administered,
have been little relation to the taxation of
the people and when extravaganza in the
public service has been a contagious plague,
To those who hope for better things, this con-
ventiou of Democratic clubs Is a bright
promise of reform. Unorganized good in
fentions and idle patriotic aspirations can
not successfully contend for mastery with
the compact forces of private interest and
greed, nor is the organization always the
most useful which has the widest extent.
The real benefit of political organization
. found in its nearness to the people, and in
the directness of its action. OF course, har-
mouy and unity of purpose are absolutely
essential In tins view your assembling to
gether is most important, In SO far as it pro-
notes this harmony and unity by conference
and q consideration of methods, and in SO
far As it inspires that zeal and enthusiasm
which will make more effective your work at

A New Reciprocity Arranxement


WASHINGTON, D. C., October 10-It u un-

gotiat1ng with the Republic of Columbia,
South America, a reciprocity arrangement
under the tariff act covering the commercial
relations of that country and the United
states.
The minister of foreign affairs in the old
cabinet opposed the negotiations of a treaty.
but the new vice president, who since the
last election has been acting IN the place of
President Nunez, an invalid, seems to have
favored the arrangement.
The failure to enter into q reciprocal M
rangement with the United States before
January last put Columbia with Hayi and
Venezuela in the List of those countries
against which, on March Is, retaliatory du-
ties on sugar, molasses, coffee. tea and hides
we're imposed by proclamation of President
