The 2 cent rate is only interstate
rates. All existing intra-state rates
of the railroads of Illinois and many
other states remain the same as now.
If a Cairo passenger to st. Louis
wishes to save about rs cents he can
do 50 by purchasing a ticket fer
East st. Louis and either walk or
take the street car over the Eads
bridge into the city and in returning
can cross the bridge and buy his
ticket at East st. Louis for Cairo, a
saving of at least $3.50 for the
round trip; this would also save him
a portion Of the biidsc rate which
is 25c each way. The street car rate
is 10c, if he walks it is SC.
Travellers between Chicago and st.
Louis will be able to save $1.55 on
the trip if they care to board or
leave the train in Granite city after
Dec. /. On that date the Chicago
st. Louis lines will put into effect a
2h cent interstate rate. They are

If the present promises are fulfilled,

the Convention but viii call upon
the committees Of Congress, and
their Senators and Representatives.
to urge the improvement vi water

And, in view of the attacks which
were made on the last Rivers and
Harbors bill, which resulted in the
appropriation of lump sum of
$20,000,000 instead of an amount
exceeding S53,O0O,0O0, the coming
convention promises to be the live
hest, as we'll as the largest in the
history of the organization. 1t is
more than probable that some point
ed remarks will be made regarding
the recent filibuster, and the right
of the people Of the United States

strongly reasserted.
While the program is not by any
