A man la north weetara Iowa ma waa ta aaaA his stock into the southeastern part, where corn is cheaper, or one in eastern Iowa may want to summer his oattl ea the aheap Taring leads in the west. Governor Beiee was among this latter class. The railroads made a practice after tho Drosent law waat Into effect of charging1 the full local fat cattle rate both ways. The stockmen argued that this was unfair because itsuV ected raw material te the high rate ef a lnlshed product. They thought the ship ment to the feeding r round aad thence keek er to market should be treated as parte ef eae transaction. The commisaiea themght the argument sound and mads a ruling that the rate on feeding cattle should not axoeed T5 per cent of the scheduled Unit ea fat cattle. We were further justified la this by a similar practice an the part of the rail- roaas in lormer times. . Accepted the Railage wlafc Grace. "In this manner the classification has been modified from time te time te protest Iewa people, but In no instance has it worked hardship to the railroads. Once made, the rulinps of the commission hare been ac cepted by the corporations with a show of good grace at least, and th law is working smoothly. I do not think oar schedule haa materially affected the interstate rates. We have acted on the principle that a long haul rate should be somewhat less than the sum of two rates covering the same distaaee. For illustration, if a jebber carry a carload of goods to Des Moines and then ship a small amount to Atlantic, the sum ef the two ehargos should be greater than the rate for the through haul from the initial point to Atlantic with out breaking bulk at Des Melaes. That is a well established principle ia computing rates. In disoussing this point one of the traffic managers thought he found a weak pot. 'Suppose.' said he. 'ciroumstanoes what good will your scheme do the people ef Iowa?' The commission told him it proposed to maintain that differential by reducing the local rate. 'But you woa't dare do that,' exclaimed the astonished oMoial; 'it will not be remunerative. We told hint he might find out whether we dared by inaugurating a rate war. 'Iowa's maximum schedule, besides pre venting the gross discriminations which formerly existed, has increased the business of Iowa jobbers and manufacturers and has made it possible to establish many new in dustries. The reductions in rates have not been unreasonable, and the railroads have gained an enormous tonnage." Sustained by the Ceurte. ' The Iewa railroads Questioned the lurls- diction of the legislature aad the commis sion over rates, aad th courts affirmed the right of control by the people through their representatives. The rulings of the courts made the maximum schedule prima facie reasonable, and it devolved upon the cor porations to prove the contrary fact if they could. The fact that the Iowa railroads have net questioned the reasonableness of the commissioner's rates in the courts ia pres' -tptive evidence that they e.tnnct chew to the contrary. Hew They Are Classified. In Iowa the roads are classified accordins- to their earnings, and it haa been considered an equitable principle to permit the weaker lines to charge higher rates than the strong lines. All roads whose gross earnings exceed 14 000 per mile are put in olas A. All reads whose earnings are over $S,000 aad lees than $4,000 per mile are la class B, which are per mitted to charge 15 per cent more than the schedule rates. All other roads are in elass C and are permitted to oharg 80 par cent more than the sohednlc rates. If Nebraska railroads were classified In a similar manner they would be grouped as follows, according to the report ef the Board ef Transportation for 1891: Class A Burlington te Missouri River proper, from Plattsmonth to Kearney: Omaha & Southwestern, Atchison Si Ne braska and the Union Pacific TruakLine. from Omaha to the western state line. Class B Nebraska. Republican Vallev. Omaha & North Platte; St. Joseph Ss Grand island, Missouri nemo, Fremont, EJkhern Missouri valley: Sieux Cltv St Pacific. Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha. Class tj uncoia a forth was tern. Ne braska & Colorado. Grand Island Ar. Vfv. oming Central, Republican Valley & South western, Lincoln fc Black Hills, Oxford & Kansas, Republican Valley tz Wyoming, Chicago, Nebraska Ji Kansas; Kansas City, Omaha & Republican Valley : Otiearc, Kan sas & Nebraska; Kansas City & Beatrice, Nebraska & Western and th Pacific. The mileage ef the first groue waa re ported at 870, of the second at 3.398 and ef the third at 2,896. The Nebraska line, if oper ating under the Iowa system, covld take more general advantage ef the higher rates permitted the weaker roads. Th lines of the Northwestern system, for example, have no competition in a large territory north ef the Platte and would be able to charge the class B rate. Many of the B and C roads are operated by A roads and se located that they could take advantage of the additional charge permitted their classes.

Oregon, Washington and tbe North Western Coast, i The constant demand of the traveling publio to the far west for a comfortable and at the same time an economical mode of traveling, has led te the estab lishment of what Is known as Pullman Colonist Sleepers. These cars are built on the same gen eral plan as the regular first-class Pull man Sleepers, the only difference being that they are not upholstered. They are furnished complete with good comfortable hair mattresses, warm blankete, snow white linen curtains, plenty ef ywels, combs, brushes, etc., which secure to the occupant of a berth as much privacy as is to be had in first class sleepers. There are also separate toilet rooms for ladies and gentlemen, and, smoking is absolutely prohibited. For full information send for Pullman Colonist Sleeper Leaflet. J. T. Mastin, C T. A. 1044 O.

Below we publish a letter from W. J. w rough ton and company of Cambridge, Nebraaka, who are among the best and most extensive importers and dealers in horses in the west: Cambridge, Neb , Feb. 13, 1893. Editor Aluancr-Indepkndemt: Enclosed please find check to balance last statement. Please continue my advertisement through March and April. ia rrgara to our stock we have a very line selection of horses on hsnd eoabisting of all the fashionable draft and coach breeds. We hare sold the present season about 40 head of stal lions of the various breeds. They have gone into Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado. Iowa, South Dakota and Wyoming. Our hones are in fine health and con dition, and intending buyers cannot afford to pass us by without inspecting oar horses. We have no cheap horses in the general acceptation of the term. They are cheap only in the sense of "the best is the cheapest." We cannot sell a fiist class horaa fop 800 or 11,000, but we guarantee to give ouyers more none and quality com bined for the moner than an other similar concern in the busin-ss. Our horses are all imported by ourselves, iherefore we offer no one the refuse of some other man's stock. We offer any firm 1500 premium that can show 30 horses in one string of the different breeds equal to 30 that we can show to- (Tether. Our horses are all young, all sound and all in good heart. We give the most liberal guarantee of any firm in tbe state and the fact that our oid customers are returning to us to buv again is evidence conclusive that thev are pleased with our stock and our manner of doing business. We feel well repaid for advertislne in The Al- liance-Indepenuent, as it hss brought us many customers. Wishing you success I am yours truly, W.J. WROUQHTON & CO.

Editor Alliance-Ihdepbndent: I wish to bill two birds at one shot, lrst I will renew my subscription to paper and then ask you to publish a fraud. A few days ago I saw an advertise ment In the New York Voice from the Brooklyn Art Union stating that if any one would send them a Dhoto thev would make and return free of cost a large beautiful life like picture framed. I Bent the photo and in a few davs cot a letter from them acknowledging re ceipt of photo and faying the picture would be sent in about 20 days absolute ly free if I would send them 91.50 to pay for advertising, packlotr and delivery. The money was sent and I just got my pleture, it is a little paper frame. The picture is just as long and an inch wider man the caoinet photo 1 sent, being oy ot incnes, and a miserably poor picture at that. But l must stop and sing that old song the chorus of which is: ''So blame yourself if you're sold." I acknowledge the sale. A hint to the wine is sufficient, and I mav be the only fool in the state. Yours Truly, A. G. Jacobs. Refusal or Publications. Post office Department, Office of the 1st ass't Postmaster General. Washington, D. C. Mar., 26, 1812. OSTMASTER Sir: Your letter of March 22nd, sub mitting a communication from the publisher of the , addressed to you in response to your card notice of the refusal of said publication, has been received. The publisher informs you that he proposes to continue to send the paper to the person addressed, and that he desires you to tender the papers to the parties named and to inform them that if tbry will pay their sub scription to date, the paper will be dis continued, but If they do not pay, it win oe continued until such time as the amount which they owe will justify a suit. The publisher also states that he intends to make a test esse of this on the "newspaper law, which requires payment for a paper before the same can be discontinued by a subscriber." 1 suggest tbatyou inform the publish er that you know of no such newspaper aw. and that if tbere is such a law. it Is not a United States statute, that your duty is laid down by the regula tions of the Post Office Department. and that under them you cannot com plv with his request. Your duty is to notify the publisher hen the person addressed refuses to receive the paper. Under the regula tions of the Department you are re quested to place the paper with the waste paper, if they continue to arrive after holding the same for thirty days, as provided for by Section 601, Postal Laws and Regulations. After you have been notified not to do so you have no right to undertake to force the paper upon the person ad dressed by placing the same in his box. Very Uespectfully, (Signed) S. A. Whitfield. First Assistant Postmaster-General Are Yon Going East? Now just take a word of advice: Let your next trip be by the North-Western line. Do you think it a longer route to Chicago than the others? It is not. It is shorter. Its equipment in ferior? No, there's nothing better. Track less smooth? By no means; it is the best. Time longer, and more in convenient leaving hours?
