Hiqher Rates for Flour.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 27.-The order
of the Western railroads, abolishing
the lower rates for the transportation
of flour heretofore granted went into
effect today and after this the same
rate will be charged for the transpor-
tation of flour as for the transporta-
ton of wheat. This is a great victory
for the Chicago millers, because it
enables them successfully to compete
with the millers of Minneapolis and
other eastern cities.

BRITISH VIEW OF LINCOLN

In days not so long ago we used to
exhaust our vocabulary in wonder at
the desperate resistance of the south.
With experience of the two and a hall
years it took to subdue the Boer re-
publics, we have come to marvel that
the secessionists. 1t is true that the
coercing power was not separated from
the enemy by $500 miles of sea, but,
on the other hand, it's vital organ was
within striking distance of the enemy,
peril. The interregnum between Lin
coins election and his Installation
Nov. 6, 1862 to March 4, 1S61-had
given time for organization in the Sc
cession states, for treachery in the
cabinet and the legislature. The popu-
lation of the south were infinitely more
homogeneous, more warlike, and, in
determined; above all, their armies
were led by two mighty thunderbolts
of war.
The Chevalier tombstone declared
that had Prince Charles slept during
the whole of his great adventure and
allowed Lord George Murray to act
for him according to his own judg-
ment, he would have found the crown
of Great Britain on his head when he
awoke. Substitute Jefferson Davis for
the prince, and Jackson and Lee for
the chieftain of the house Of AthOll,
and a plausible case is left for argu-
ment. The military imagination is too
prone to neglect those moral forces
against which all the might of south
ern chivalry beat in vain; yet for at
least two years the fate of the Union
hung on Lincoln's strength of will, and
not for a single moment did he waver
in his purpose. AS the ever-lamented
biographer of "Stonewall' admits:
1T will not be asserted that either
Lee or Jackson fathomed the source
of this unconquerable tenacity. They
had played with effect on the fears of
Lincoln; they had recognized in him
the mature power of the federal hosts;
but they had not yet learned, for the
northern people themselves had not yet
learned it that they were opposed by
an adversary whose resolution was as
as their own, who loved the
union even as they loved Virginia,
and who ruled the nation with the
same tact and skill that they ruled
their soldiers"
Lincoln lived to win the love and
confidence Of his cabinet, of his gen.
erals and finally of a people in arms.
I'VE are coming Father Abraham,
three hundred thousand more
was the refrain of northern song in
the second year of the war. u
When the occasion required .e could
employ a diction which in its severe
and chaste simplicity has no rival in
transatlantic oratory. Sir George Ire
velyOn has aptly compared his speech
at the dedication of the Gettysburg
cemetery to the funeral grafton of
Pericles. There spoke the real Abra-
ham Lincoln, tender and true and
strong, of whom it may be written, as
was written by his countrymen Of
William the Silent, that while he lived
he was the guiding star of a great ma
ton, and that when he died the little
children cried in the streets-London

File Many Complaints With Railway
Commission
new RATES ARE NOT SATISFACTORY
SHIPPERS OF FIRST CLASS GOODS
ARE THE CHIEF CON-
PLAINANTS

According to Olympia dispatches the
new minimum charge on small ship
ments recently fixed by the railroads
following the Colfax hearing is not
altogether satisfactory to shippers
and numerous complaints are being
made to the commission. The old reg
ulation fixed the 10O-pound second
class rate on all small shipments, and
complaint was filed against that
rate. The commissions included tbs
complaint in the COlfax hearing, but
before it came on an agreement was
reached between the railroads and the
commission whereby small shipments
should hereafter be carried at the 100
pound rate for the class to which the
shipment belonged.
The new rate materially reduced the
charge on merchandise of the third and
shipments at the former figure. The
first class shipments were thereby rails
ed from second to first class rates,
and this is resulting in complaints. 1t
was thought by the commission that
inasmuch as practically all of the small
shipments belong to the second, third
and fourth classes of freight, the
redIctiOnS would cOver nearly all shin
ments. However, it seems that prac-
tically every shipper of first class mer-

"HOORAY FOR THE STAFF"

At last we are safe! the millennium
has arrived. Our water supply is safe!
Had we known last week what we
have learned since Sunday, never
would we have gotten cold feet over
the proposition that the pipe line
would not be completed or, completed,
would not be serviceable except for
the bondholders and contractors.
This we had firmly believed. We
were convinced that CRAFTS, jobs, In
competence, almost everything, except
water. was contained in that measly
pipe line. We had been told much
money had been taken out of it and
about all left were the knots, the sap
by boards, the unanchored crossing
at Wickersham bridge-and "Bill'
Kirkman.
We couldn't see why we should
have the darned thing about, unless 1t
were to keep busy the woman with the
ak. With the timekeepers and inspec-
tors discharged and Bill" Kirkman
busy helping Bill GIasford save
money in SIS chunks for the city,
about the only use the pipe line had
in our bespeckled optics was for an
investigation committee.
But this is all changed through the
of the new pipe line Sun
day by the reportorial staff of The
Union. Nothing remains to be seen,
or done, except to have the Union
staff keep it's eagle eye Ok the ditch.
1t be true that on the return of the
staff" it refused to be interviewed.
True, too, the staff had not the OPP
portunity to inspect the payrolls, or
expense accounts. But-beware, Bill"
kirkman!
In no uncertain tones the "staff'
says: but they will probably be
heard from later, as they intend to
keep the public Informed on all mat
ters of interest"
Such awful threats are blood con-
gealing. They will certainly cause the
three hairs on Bill" Kirkman's head
to rise up No more bloodthirsty
warming was ever issued by the ter
%
sia. Again we say-beware, Bill!
To fully demonstrate the ability of
the staff" to keep the public in
formed, the staff" says this morning
hat 1.-The ditch across the creek above
he Wickersham bridge will be COM
Oleted tomorrow; the pipe is laid and
the ditch partially filled from the
bridge to within a short distance Of

arrives the water may be turned into

n abundance-all with sufficient force
o tear out every pipe in Walla Wal |
a. This latter is a covert warning
o the good people of Walla Walla to
mend their pipes"
But the long strain of watching, the |
suspense incident to the belief it
would develop that we had no pipe

Last Saturday W. T.. Schoonmaker,

10 a Sunday school picnic, taking his
family. During the afternoon he was
walking around leading his little four
year old daughter. A boy was riding
a horse over the grounds and it started
to run. When near SchOonmaker it
sweryed and hit him, knocking him
down. Schoonmaker had the presence
of mind to draw his daughter under
him, and although the horse trampled
all over him the little one was not
hurt. He was taken back to Ell Paso,
and the doctors found him badly
bruised, but no bones were broken. 1t
is not often that a railroad man mixes
up with a horse, aud after Schoon-
makers experience they will be more
particular to stay with a safe PROPOSE
tion, like a locomotive, which does not
leave the track and trample over the
people as easily as does the horse.

Last Friday morning about six
o'clock there was a severe electrical
storm at Stems, and a bolt OF lightu.

tor was at the key. The lightning
burned him about the body, hands and
down one leg. il also broke the lamp,
throwing the oil all over the office,
setting it 90 Gre, and in an instant
the whole office was ablaze. The burn
ing oil also burned Mr.. Pope severly.

only the business of the railroad com
pany but that OF the express company,
and the p~ostonice, Mr.. Olden, besides
being railroad agent being also express
agent, aud assistant postmaster, Mr..
Pope was so horribly burned that he
was brought Immediately to Lords
burg, on a special train, made up from
the work train that was at Stems.
Here his burns we're dressed by DR..
Northway, DR.. Crocker, the company
physician, being at Demiug. After
the burns were dressed a special train
was made up and he was taken to lei
Paso, to the Hotel Dleu. About half
OF the surface Of his body was burned,
where it was burned by the lightning
the surface was dry and hard, and
where the oil had burned him it was
soft and moist. The burns were so
that he could not recover, and
he died ia the hospital about twenty
four hours after he was burned. He
was a young man, and about twenty
Eve years old, unmarried, and his fam
lily lived at Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
The depot at Stems was burned about
twelve years ago, the fire being caused
by a defective tue. Agent Olden has
