QUICK LINE TO THE COAST.

Cincinnati, Nov. 1.-The New Orleans
and Florida limited, announced by the
Queen and Crescent route for November
g. marks an era in southern railroading.
The schedules provide for magnificent
trains, which leave Cincinnati at $50
a. M, and run through solid to New Or
leans and back to Jacksonville in TWEEN
ty-four hours. There has never been II
time surprising this by the southern
roads. 1t includes an arrangement with
the Southern Pacific to the Pacific coast

has taken that long to go from Chicago
to the coast, so that the east is now one

Mr.. President and Fellow Dairymcm-
As 7 learned from one of your number
that you proposed to answer my essays
tonight, | thought ! would give you
few more points to consider. as the sub
ject is by no means worn threadbare as
yet. On your licensing scheme I would
like to say that the amount rs | under
stand it, was to- be $40 4 year. Now,
gentlemen. ! want to call your attention
to the unjustness of the scheme Some
of you are milking all the way from ten
to fifty COWS. You propose that the man
that is only milking ten COWS shall pay
as much as the one that milks fifty.
have given You my views on the Legality
of the scheme. but if il were possible to
license us. don't you think that the only
just way would he 10 pay n certain
amount for each COW that we milk!
But am afraid that those of you that
are milking forty or fifty COWS would not
desire license on such basis. But,
gentlemen, you must admit that is the
only Just way. | DO not think that your
licensing scheme would drive any dairy
man out of the business for the simple
reason that | consider that they have
too much grit to be dictated to by mi
nority, and l am of the opinion that some
of the large dairymen would be glad II
the subject bad never been preached.
Bnt. gentlemen, the worst feature OF the
whole question is this, there is small
minority that desire to run the whole
city. Their motto is III Live i You
Starve.' Now, gentlemen, you all have
right to live and follow any business
you feel inclined without fear or favor,
and have not a doubt but that the most
of you are opposed to monOpolies. In
regard to that 15-cent milk, since writing
my last article / heard remark or two
dropped on the subject. would say that

closed several days ago. The only inter-
est was over the congressional contests.
There is no question but what every dem
ocratic congressman will be elected. This

and will poll fair vote. The democratic
electors will be elected by majority rang
ing from 10000 to 10000, and probably

MY table is not by COUNTIES; but by

THE Tenth district will give Bryan

ment from Portsmouth, Va:
You can state that there is not a word

To intlmidate stockholders and with a view
OF causing panic among them in the hope
that they VIII dispose of their valuable
securities TO the Southern at a low figure
$50 long as the people stay with us,
the competition which is so necessary to
them at this time and in all the future
they will doubtless be secure; and this state
ment Will unquestionably be borne out
by the result uf next Tuesdays annual
meeting at Portsmouth.
1.-The stockholders OF the Seaboard can
not be stampeded in any such way as that
proposed"
President Samuel Spencer OF the South
ern Railway. says:
There is no foundation for the published
statement that negotiations are going on
i'll behalf OF the Southern Railway Company
looking to the purchase or control, directly
or Indirectly, OF the Seaboard Air Line
There is evidently an error in trans
mittng the dispatch from Baltimore The
statements there are to the effect that
negotiations are not in behalf OF he Southern
Railway Company. but in several of the
New York papers the word not has been
omitted"
