Lively Rate War.

owner of the Barry line of steamers be-
tween Chicago and Muskegon, is out OF
town Monday and none of the men in
the office had authority to meet the cut
OF the Goodrich line TO 1c n hundred

soon as Capt Barry returns the war
rates Of the Goodrich people will be
quickly met 1t will be difficult to get
below them.
The Impression prevails on the river
that il is going to be fight to a finish.
The Goodrich people seem determined
not TO have a rival growing up along

petition with n war OF rates On that
account ii is thought nothing will end
the contest but the withdrawal of the

but having a weak cause, did not
convince anyone of any fact except
that he wanted Wolcott's place,

sorted to mud singing in petty
spitefulness.
He is to be compared to VOL

He neglected explaining the olsen
franchisement of the negroes in the

way the Democratic sheriff of

did not explain the failure of our
