Freight Agent. ON the Rack.

The Interstate-commerce Commission re-
sumed its investigation at Chicago yester-
day of charges against various Western
roads of rebilling. The purpose of the COM
mission is to discover if any of the roads
are furnishing storage for grain for specu-
lative purposes. General Freight Agent
Simmons, of the Cedar Rapids road; Barton
Johnson. of the Chicago & Northwestern;
President Harris of the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Northern, and Thomas Miller, of the
witness stand. All admitted stoppage of
grain for milling or cleaning purposes, but
denied any reDilling practices. Freight
Manager Johnson. of the Rock Island adj
mitted the stoppage of grain in transit at
the part of the road with such stoppage.
freight Manager Stohr. of the Chicago &
Great Western. and General Traffic Man
ager Bird, of the Chicago, Milwaukee d st.
Paul also disclaimed any such practices by
their respective roads

A Trouble Adiusted.

The roads in the Western Passenger AS
ISOLATION have finally concluded that they
will take their orders out of the territory
of the lines in the Central Passenger Com
mittee. The matter has been a source of
trouble between the lines of the two as
soCiations for long time, and at the last
general meeting of the Western Passenger
Association it was voted tc take the or
ders out provided that several of the lines
not at the time represented at the meeting
would give their votes in the affirmative
These roads have given their votes for the
removal of the orders, and they will be
removed from the Eastern territory by
Oct. /.

Transfer Charges on Bicycles.

Chairman Caldwell. of the Western Pas
senger Association, handed down a ruling
to the effect that where transfer arrange
ments, exist between two roads they may
transfer bicycles from one to the other
without charge, but where no such
transfer arrangements exist the roads must
make charge for all the transfers that
are made. This matter has caused about
as much discussion among the roads as
the old question of whether they shall or
shall not make any charge for the trans
portation of the wheels.

OF course this Is matter for general

which has defended our interests and
brought the matter to q successful

the course Of the debate MIR. Hepburn,

nouneed the lower Mississippi River

the money used by it was expended
for the reclamation Cf swamp lands.
To this attack Mr.. Catcbings replied

might have added that the folly OF
Hepburn's assertion was proved by

mo lhe Commerolnl Harald.

To the Commercial Hersld.l
In late issue OF the Jackson Cla.
rion-Iedger have read the following
notice OF affairs in this district;
"Friends OF Gen. Cslchings iu the
Delta are running him for Congress
ou his river record, not a word being
said in favor of bis gold-bug views.
Why side-track the issue that Mr..
Cstchings has made bis reputation on
and which he csnvassed the State on
last summer Are bis friends afraid
to bring forward bis gold.bug record
Silver men should see that 1t Is not
retired"
IL Is plain to be seen that the
writer does not live behind the
levees. II he had gone through
a few seiges like that the val
ley people fought out in 1890, he
would not De 60 ready In asking our
folks 10 side track the levee interest
for any national political question.
Now Mr.. Editor | am believer In the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of16 10 /, without waiting on
any other country IN the world. |
think this would be best for the class
to which l belong, the farming, and
the whole people. But when 1t comes
to putting silver coinage over the
levees, | agree with my distinguished
friend, Col. Jno. r. Cameron, that "the
silver question is 6 theory, the leyees
q fact" Aud that iu importance the
two are not to be compared by peo.
pie who pay levee taxes. For another
reason there is NC comparison In the
two matters. II is next TO impossible
that Gen. Cstchings will ever have the
deciding vote OH silver bill. II iss
fixed certainty that bis intention in
Congress will have decided effect on
tie chances of continuous aid by the
general government for our protection
against overflow. And then again
we are all Democrats and are goIng to
be governed by what cur natiousl con-
vention decides Oh the silver question.
AT least have heard nothing to the
contrary by Mississippi Democrats
Aud for this reason, as silver Demo.
crat, | disagree with the able Clarion.
Ledger. The way TO treat Gen. Catch.
ings and the other gold-bugs, Is to
send silver men to Chicago. II we
have q majority there, as believe, and
as the Clarion.Ledger asserts, we will
pass a party law that will blind all
Democrats. In this way we will hold
Gen. Caichlngs in the public service.
and not lose vote for silver either,
Mr.. Editor | regard the election of a
Congressman from our district Just az
| do employing lawyer or doctor
IN an important case The wise man
gets the best the market affords. On
this principle, favor and will support
the reelection of Gen. Catchiugs. His
long experience, decided ability and
place on tue river and harbor commit.
tee give him the call on any new man.

TO the Sunny South.
In. y. AIercnry.I

1t is no longer westward, but south.
ward that the star of empire takes its
way. The march of emigration is
making a wide sweep toward the mild
or climates of the South, and men and
women are fleeing from regions OF
eight or niue months winter TO moro
squable zone.
They are beginning 10 discover that
II is Oh immense waste Of energy aud
money TO spend more than one-hali OF
their earnings aud two.thirds of their
time In the mere effort 10 keep warm
ahd comfortable, when they have that
condition for nothing. That this i'm.
pulse was bound to come just as soon
as the Southern States recovered from
the effects of the war and became &C.
customed to new channels of business
aud labor, has long been forseen.
The progressive Southerners have
themselves been alert to briug about
this better day, and their spirit has
been manifested, not only IN the sue
cess of the Atlanta Exposition, but
III the vast industries that have pros.
pered at Birmingham, at Chattanooga,
at Knoxville aud other notable points
IN the South.

A COMMON CAUSE.

In the midst OF a column OF wild
disjoiuied strieks of anguish and des.
pair in the Bolivar County Journsl
appears the following very significant
sentence.
"What does the man who has moth.
Ing to protect from overfows want
with levees!-
What mesns this query? Is II an as.
sertion that only paupers are opposed
or Indifferent to levee interests
Can there be found q man, woman
or child in the district whose daily
foed is not more or less dependent
upon protection from overflow?
or course the man who owns a
thousand acres regards the question
OF levee protection az his first aud
greatest interest. SO do all bis EN-.
ployees, from his plantation manager
to the most tattered darky who chops
cotton In his fields. Who are the men
who do not want levees. Surely not
the agricultural classes; not the mer-
chants whose living depends upon the
farmers; not the manufacturers and
mechanics 10 whom overflow would
moan as certain ruin as to any planter.
The only class In which indifference
might even be suspected In The chron.
ic loafers and idlers of the towns, with
perhaps. a few small local politicians
men who are absolutely useless in the
upbuilding of a country, and who live
heaven knows how, q hand-to-mouth
existence, usually at the expense Of the
more industrious.
The Delta is purely agricultural
country. Its people, while not power.
~ stricken, are equally removed from
she possession OF wealth. Among
them eau be found no great fortunes
and no abject poverty. In such a com.
munity no sharp distinction between
arich and poor class eau exist. The
only source of profit, aud The subsi..
tence OF all It's peoplo,.is the product
OF Its soil. When that is menaced,
danger aud loss threaten every one
alike. The interest Of one is the In.
terest all and the universal need
OF protection brings about common
sympathy and effort like that which
would inspire a people to repel an
invader Of their homes aud firesides
