THE NEW GRAIN TARIFF
RATES EAST BOUND WHICH WILL.
BECOME EFFECTIVE JAN. 2.
Wabash Withdraws from Western
Sold to the VanderbiIts.

The Eastern lines have issued a grain
tariff which is to become effective Jan 2,
making the same rates from East st. Louis
and Peoria as are made on export corn
from Chicago, and it has created quite a
stir in Chicago owing to the fact that rates
to Chicago are 5 cents higher than the rates
from the West to ST. Louis The new tariff
fixes the rate on corn for export from
points west of the Mississippi river on direct
through billing to the seaboard as follows:
Fifteen cents per one hundred pounds to
New York. Boston and Portland.
Thirteen cents per one hundred pounds to
philadelphia and Montreal
Twelve cents per one hundred pounds to
Baltimore, Norfolk and Newport News.
These rates apply from East St. Louis,
Alton. Peoria, Bloomington. Beardstown,
Chicago and Chicago functions:
On all other grain the tariff quotes the
following rates from the same points:
Seventeen and one-haIf cents per one hun
dred pounds to New York. Boston and Port
land.
Fifteen and one-hal1 cents per one hun
dred pounds to Philadelphia and Montreal.
Fourteen and one-half cents per one hun
dred pounds to Baltimore, Norfolk and New
port News.
In explanation of these rates the tariff
From other Mississippi river points north
of Alton to East Dubuque, inclusive, the
net proportional minimum inland rate on
corn shall be 1712 cents per one hundred
pounds; on all other grain and grain
products on the basis of 20 cents to New
York from Chicago with the usual differ
ence to -5ther Atlantic ports. 1t is under
stood that provisions for export on through
bills of lading only may be taken at not
less than on the basis Of % cents per one
hundred pounds Chicago to New York as
the proportional inland rate"
At the end of the tariff is the following
significant sentence:
THE above export rates are not to be
published"
Western freight men ailege that this tariff
is a gross discrimination against Chicago
and upsetS all agreements that have been
In effect between Western and Eastern
lines for years On the other hand, Eastern
freight men claim that the grain they pro-
pose to move 20 the Atlantic from St. Louis
and other points affected by the new tariff
would go out via the gulf ports and never
under any circumstances via Chicago.

Mrs. Debold will open up a confec-

An evening paper yesterday made
the astounding statement that the Ben
wood Council intend to raise the rate
for town license to $500, and this would
make the total cost 5000. The state
ment is so far from the truth that it
is particularly funny. The present
rate of license is $3.50, and the Council
Finance Committee are thinking of in
creasing it just $50, which would make
the total fee to the city 5000. The
evening paper, in its usual way of
getting at things. was just $500 from
the exact figures The Benwood saloon
keepers who take out late licenses
through the County Court will have to
pay $3.50 additional TO the city tax.
which would make an aggregate cost
of $3.50. The fact that the County
Court has decided that all liquor deal
ers will have to take out State licenses,
is expected to cause about fifteen sa-
loon keepers to quit business. Even if
the rate of city license is raised to 5000.
the entire revenue from this source for
the ensuing year will be about $500
short of the amount received last year.

National Guard Active and able
bodied young men, who would make
good soldiers, as rule cannot afford to
belong to a regiment or to spare the
time Consequently the service drifts
into the hands of the spade-tail. kid
glove and patent leather shoe element,
and the severe military features are
discarded as largely as possible for
the social features. This apathy and
tendency toward effeminacy, which
gradually takes hold of officers and
men unaccustomed to duty or severe
drill is something the National Guard
officials will have to contend against
ard remedy if the service is to be made
efficient and worth the outlay

THE REUNITED SECTIONS.

That was the title Of Henry Waiter
sons address at New York last night
on the occasion of Grants birthday.
To say tha~ the eloquent Kentuckian
aroused the enthusiasm of the New
Workers by his patriotic utterances is
to state a conclusion that was fore
gone. His address will be found in our
Geographic columns, and it is good
reading.
Other patriotic speeches were being
delivered at the same time elsewhere
throughout the country in celebration
OF the natal day Of the hero Of the
civil war, among them one by Judge
Speer, of Georgia, at Grants old home.

When these things be, when South
erner and Southern sympathizer speaks
amid enthusiasm in the No tn in
eulogy of Northern soldier, when the
youth of North and South unite in
marching with rifle and knapsack to
the front against a foreign foe. when
neither Northerner nor Southerner is
known as such. but only as American,
we may truthfully and with glad and
thankful acclaim echo Mr.. Waiter
sons benediction on the reunion of the
sections.
