CHICAGo-The lines Ii the Western Passenger Association are uneasy on ac count oi the threatened reduction in rates from the west by the Great Northern. They induced the latter road to withhold its reduction for a few days, but the news today that it had declared S25 rate from Seattle to St. Paul was unpleasant and knocked the wind cut of the proposed proceedings in the interest of har- mony. It is believed the Northern Pacific will meet the cut by bringing down the through rate to Chicago. This will involve other lines.

THE KID.
He Appears at the San Carlos Reservation and Steals a Young Squaw- The
 Simple Ceremony.

As long Kid, the renegade Apache confined his operations to killing white people and stealing from them the Indians did not attempt to molest him. It begins to look now as though the Indians would receive the $j,OOO reward offered for him. The Globe Silver Belt says that he revealed his presence on the San Carlos Ieser- ya,ion. about six mlles from the sgencv. sn Monday wse. last and appropriated the youngest wife oi Tonto Bill, Tag A. &. and immsd- lately left The children oi tie cap tive squaw, a boy and girl of tender age, who were with her, he sent home, while he and bis newly made pride travelled in an opposite direction. The children say they know Kid and are not mistaken as to his identity. They report him armed with a Winchester, having two belts of cartridges and a pair of new drawers strapped to his person. He was also equipped with field glasses.
 The stolen squaw is about twenty years of age, and remarkably white for an Indian. The disconsolate bus. band with nine other bucks have started in pursuit, armed and other wise equipped for psotracted hunt. They are going into the Sierra Anchas thence via Salt River to Silver King apdelsewhere. They have an edu cated youth with them as an inter- preter, old enough to carry gun and drew bead on Kid should it prove their good fortune to catch g sight of him. Trey are well aware of the value of Kid alive and for his head, for the purpose of identification. il killed in the effort to capture him.
 The Kid was making for Mexico, and is no doub, in the land of mailana long before this time.

Hello, There, Shreveport!

The Shreveport Progress makes
the observation, 'that business is
improving and money matters are
becoming easier" And it turns to
its local hustlers with the timely
suggestion, "that as confidence in
financial circles is becoming re-
stored, it is time for our railroad
committee to begin negotiations
again." The Progress is not alto
gether blind, if it is Populist
paper.
We call the attention of the Prog
ress to the fact that railroad con-
nection with Alexandria, via the
east side of Red river, would be a
magnificent feeder for Shreveport
In view of Shrevepores access to
the northern provision market, it
would be no mean thing to have
immediate connection with Cou-
shatta, Campte, ST. Maurice, Mont
gomery, Colfax, Paramount and
Bagdad, and the three OF four par
ishes that back up their trade.

The amounts in nearly every case for

we find that II out of the 26 are for moth

that the proddings and Investigations of
the late school board is having good eff
feet, and that the collection of the poll
tax is being enforced more vigorously.

A Difference of Opinion.

The subject matter below is self-ex-
planatory, and needs no comment:
Iron VIM Parish Comrade. Oct i9th.l
| WiNxrIxLD. La, Oct, 17,;lSes.
Editor Comrade:
| notice Goodwin of the of the CHRoN-
ICLE shirks the lie gave him last week
and endeavors to throw it on his inform z
ers of the gin-tagging. In his first he
said, 1--WE had hoped that the Third Party
folks in Grant had more reason, etc."
duplicating by inference the Third Party
as the gin taggers This implication is
what We denounced as lie, and net what
the prosecuted gin owners should have
told him. If they knew and told Good
wyn the politics of the gin -taggers, he
should have said go, and saved his own
skirts, but he did not, and wish the
public to know that it was Goodwin who
made the charge without shadow of
reason or excuse, and that il was this I'M
called for and unreasonable charge that
I denounced last week and still denounce
as lie Respectfully, H. L. BRIAN.
Upon receipt of the Comrade at Colfax
on Monday, Oct. 23d, the following cor
'respondence Immediately ensued:
CoLrAx, La. Oct. q. 1899.
To H. L. Brian Esq. WINFIELD, La;
Sir-In the Comrade of Oct. 10th you
take occasion to doubly iterate the charge
that have lied when I implicated by
inference" that the Third Party was in
any way to blame for gin-tagging, or
rather for threats that ginners have re-
ported to me. Now, will say that this
matter was reported to me by two repu-
table citizens of this parish during our
late term of court, one resident Of ward
2, and the other of ward 5, whose names
l will not now give in order to shield
myself from the responsibility you seem
to desire me to assume. This was du-
ring the height of the excitement about
the gin business in north Louisiana and
other places, and, while my comments
on it may have been q little hasty, they
were legitimate as well as temperate, con-
sidering the gravity Of the case.
My structures have been as to the effect
at measures you advocated, and no per-
sonal reproach to you has been rendered.
Ii have done you or any one else any
a disclaimer of incendiary inl
tentiona, with as much caustic as you
might see fit to inject in it by way of
criticising my differences" would not in
the least ruffie my feelings; but when
you descend to personalities and brand
me individually and opprobriously, will
not submit to it, and have therefore to
request that You 30 qualify your remarks
in the Comrade OF the 18th as to elimi-
nate the offensive and unjust charge you
make. Trusting that you have due
regard for fairness, as well as the ameni-
ties and responsibilities Of the newspaper
business, remain,
Respectfully, II. g. GOODWIN.
WixNrIKLD. La, Oct. a. 1888.
H. g. Goodwin, Esq, Collar, La:
Sir-Your letter of 23rd Oct. places
construction upon your charges against
The PopuIists as gin taggers different from
that in'which / saw it = less sensible, in
my opinion, but less opprobrious hence
am perfectly willing to make the samen-
lie honorable" which you ask. IT will ap-
pear in next Issue of sThe Comrade."

Bro. Machen, of the Montgomery Mail,
spreads himself out georgeously in little
more than column OF bis last issue, uu-
der the heading, mo Banks. No Bonds"
We don't know what on earth ever called
forth the article, as there certainly is
not at this time any measure before the
country or Congress, or even seriously
advocated by any considerable fraction of
any party, his comments can refer to.
Whenever the Arcadian days arrive in
in which men neither borrow nor ask for
credit, Bro. Machen's Utopian idea of "no
banks, no bonds" may be applied, but un-
til then, we very much fear the present
mercenary system of cent per cent, pre-
MUM. interest and discount, will con-
tinue among the children of men.
