Mother Sues Her Son.

Suit has been brought by Nancy Van
diver, through her husband, Peter VAN
diver, against her son, Thomas c. Green,
in the Superior Court, for $500. The COM
plant sets forth that Green. who is an only
child. agreed to repay at the end of four
years the expenses incurred by his mother
in erecting a house for his home. The house
was accordingly built and occupied for four
years. When Green was asked to repay
the expense, amounting to $500, it is claimed
he refused. His mother did not relish the
idea of losing her small cash capital in
this way and now wants the law to bring
her son to time.

The Free Silver Demon

oh, say! will ye shake off the hand of the
foeman,
Who stealthily grapples the throat of our
land;
Who seeks, in disguise, as a friend to our
yeomen,
To get our heart strings in his treacher-
Gus hand?
Like Satan, who tempted the One on the
mountain,
He seeks to enthrall by appeals to our
He pictures us wealth like the flow of a
fountain,
Where each, with small effort, may drink
of his need.
He'd have us believe cen the laws of Gre
alton,
Which, since the world started, ne'er
varied a jot,
VIII be set aside in the case of our Ma
ton
But look, We, how Adam was tempted
and caught!
There. be greater foes than with trumpet
loud pealing
Make war on our land in the fierce open
fight;
Far greater are foes who, with purpose
concealing.
Would rob and destroy like a thief in the
night!
Then shake off the hold of the free-silver
Demon,
Which seeks, with the charm of the ser
pent, to bring
To it's life-crushing coils the fair body of
freeman,
And poison mis- soul with despairs cruel
sting!

Traffic VERY Light.

A special meeting of the Western Passen-
ger Association has been called to meet in
Chicago Sept. s. The motive for calling
the meeting is the Generalization in West
ern passenger rates that has begun to show
itself within the last ten days. The real
trouble is in the lightness Of the traffic.
No August in many years has shown the
small amount OF passenger travel that last
month developed. Several of the roads
have not more than paid running expenses,
and they consider themselves fortunate. to
have done that much. TIE scarcity Of
business has led to the cutting of rates in
various directions, ard the gateways to
t~ransmissouri territory are said to be full
of tickets that have been placed upon the
market with the intention of drawing BUSH
ness at some price. Kansas City is said to
be the place where most of these cheap
tickets are to be found.% The meeting next
week will endeaVor to find some way out
of the difficulty, although it is generally
conceded that there can be no real perma-

Union Pacific Tickets stolen.

The Union Pacific has issued notice of
the theft last Sunday of a large bundle of
its tickets, which were stolen from a bag
gage car. where they We're placed in a
valise. The tickets read over the main line
from the Missouri river to points in Mon

gon Railway and Navigation Company.
Others of the stolen tickets read from the
Missouri river points via Julesburg to
points on the Union Pacific, Denver 81

More Money to Move Crops.

1t is noticeable that a number of the pres
idents of Northwestern, Missouri river and
roads in the Central Traffic Association ter
ritory, as formerly bounded, have visited
New York of late and it has come
to light that the purpose of such Wis
it was to impress upon their boards of di-
rectors and upon bankers generally the alb
solute necessity fer more money to move
the@present and forthcoming crops. These
railway officials take the view that the
farmer must be helped this year to get his
crops to market. They state that m conse-
2uence of the uncertainty and uneasiness
in financial circles. there is not enough
money in the Western States to go around
for the moment. and that if any one is
to suffer it is the farmer. incidentally. the
roads. of course. are directly concerned in
the matter, as their business depends large
ly on the movement of the crops. That
the suggestions of the railway officials of
the lines alluded to have been needed is
evident from the daily Increasing movement

AN IMPROVED R V
INTELLIGENT. SOBER MEN ARE NOW
REQUIRED IN RAILROAD WORK.
More Money Coming West to Move
Grain Crops, Which Has Led to an
Increased Freight Ira fiic.

Joseph Sanger. who is visiting friends
in this city, and who ranks as one of the
oldest yardnlaster in the country, al
though not in active service, yesterday re-
marked that we otter hear something said
about the better character of employees in
the railroad service as compared with TWEEN
ty or thirty years ago. While this is true,
still he thought in the yard service greater
changes have been wrought than in any
other department. Work at yards is now
done in a systematic manner. A man must
have at least an ordinary education and
some capability in the way of planning and
securing the prompt making up of trains,
and he must know the numbers of cars,
how heavily they may be loaded and many
things which in former years were not re-
quired. AS soon as it is discovered that a
yard man uses liquor a way is found to dis
miss him in a short time, and a So
Der, intelligent man is substituted. This
has led to the cleaning out of men who
indulge in intoxicating liquors and are pro-
fuse in profanity, and a steady, quiet set
of men have supplanted the noisy, rough
and-tumble element. OF course this has
been brought about in some measure
through sharp competition, which has
force the employment of a more intelligent
class of men, who are able to make up
trains properly and with dispatch. Every
man must be well informed, keen and
ready to take advantage of every moment
of time This, said Mr.. Sanger, is aptly
illustrated at Indianapolis. Twenty years
ago II loaded freight cars for the West
from the seaboard got through indianapolis
IN six to eight hours, it was considered good
work. Now the same is accomplished in
an hour at the longest, and often in thirty
minutes, or as soon as trains can be made
Up and inspected. To do this successfully
requires sober, competent men. and in no
department., says Mr.. Sange have matters
been systematized to a greater extent than

The 1nterstate-commerce Commission
yesterday, in an opinion by Commissioner
Clements. announced it's decision of the
case of the Omaha Commerce. Club
against the Rock Island & Pacific Railway
Company and other carriers between Tex
as points and Omaha, Kansas City, St.
Louis and northern Mississippi river points
and Chicago. The main points of the de-
cision are: Carriers have no right to dis
regard distance and natural advantages for
the purpose of bringing about commercial
equality. The practice, # lawful, of giving
to Kansas City, on shipments from the
West, through Pueblo, Colorado Springs,
Northwest, through Cheyenne, rates not
higher on such shipment to Omaha, fur
nishes no ground for giving Omaha rates
from Texas points not higher than those to
Kansas City. the circumstance and con-
dftiOnS in the two cases being substantially
dissimilar. The through rates are matters
of contract between carriers composing
through lines and the commission has no
power to compel connecting carriers to
contract with each other. If, in cases of
shipments under a proper bill of lading and
q through rate, the privilege of "stoppage
in transit at an intermediate point and
trying the market there and if 1t be found
unsatisfactory. of reshiDDing on % the
point of original destination at the bal
granting of it to one locality and denying
of it to another under substantially similar
circumstances would be an unjust discrim-
ination against the latter. The maximum
points should not be as high as those be-
tween Chicago and Texas points and
should not exceed those between DaVen-
port. Rock Island and Moline and Texas
points. and the rate on syrup from
Omaha should not be in excess of that
from Davenport.
