TWO-CENT MILEAGE.

The Illinois general senhly is
wrestling with delegations from rail
road companies who are protesting
against he passage OF two measures
pending there, the demurrage Bill and
the two-cent mileage bill. There is
strong demand for both these m as
ures bs the peopIcthe dcmurrage
law hy the shippers and the other by
tho travelling public. Perhaps the
strongest objection is made to The
two-cent mileage bill and among the
chef grounds Of objection is that the
population is not dense enough in this
state 10 justify 1t not so dense as it is
