The statement , it will bo ob served , is fairly astonishing , nnd shows thu Union Pacific to bo ahead of other rends in the stnto in the robbery line. Tiie rates locally on the St. Joe & West ern and Missouri Paclliu nro about iden tical with the Union Pacific. The H. ei M. local rates , published u few days ago , were oyo-oponora , but these from the Union Pacilio beat tlio record. Follow ing is the communication : Mr. T.J. Potter. Vice President ; Mr. T.

Gentlemen : 1 Herewith tinnsnilt to joti , for your eousideiation , n comparative statement of the rates ol freight chaises In Iowa and Minnesota * .vlth the rate charged on thn Union Pacific railway for n distance of 000 miles west fioin Omaha. It will be noted that } our rate on lirst class frcmlit for all distances OUT forty miles Is much higher than In Minnesota or on the 15. & M. railroad In Nebraska , for 300 miles west trom Lincoln or from Omaha , nnd your fourth class rate Is still mnro oppressive. The rate charged on lonrth class is. In Mitmi Instances very neatly three-tilths of the rate vharKcd on lirst class , and thu rate on lonrth class should be r > 0 percent ot the liist class If * , ou lollow the rate ol most Westcin states. And , when your lirst class rate Is more than double that ot Minnesota It make. * nveiv extortionate and oppressive freight tarlll which the people of this state are iciinlrcd to pay , whencnmpaicd with Iowa and .Minne- hota. And it Is belle\ed that the volume of tratlic for UOO miles west from Omaha will compare -.cry favorably with the nvetane volume of tratlic in lown mid Minnesota on the whole svstem ot roads in those states , so that It is not hclleml by me that the volume of tralllc lurnlshi'K any rational orrcasnnahlo excuse for your exhoibitant and oppressive clmree.

TRUE CHILDREN OF NATURE , A Description of the Aboriginees of North Ausrtalia. THEIR SATANIC MAJESTY The Alarrlngo Kclattons How the Adultoroitfi urn Trentoil aiater- nnl Grief Father Strolo's lOxperionoc. The Rov. Anthony Strcle , S. J. , super intendent of the aboriginal mission , North Australia , arrived in Omixlw yes terday , via San Francisco. Father Strclo lias boon n missionary in Australia for twenty years fifteen years in South Australia and live years at his present station. There are two Roman Catholic missions in North Australia. One is at Palmorstou , the terminus of the British cable system ; the other at Daly riyor , two hundred miles distant. The mission district embraces an area of half n mil lion square miles , with an estimated ab original population of 500,000 and 700 whites. There uro only four prioits , in cluding Father Strolo , to attend to this immense field. Tlio ruvcrond gentle man ' .s object in visiting the United States is to obtain funds for a more vigorous nnd systematic prosecution of the work. Moro missionaries are nccdod to bring tlio savages within the palo of civiliza tion , and Father Strelo is confident that a presentation of the facts relating to the mission will induce persons inter ested in Christian work to contribute to thn mission fund. Father Strclo's account of the habits aud customs of the aborigines is exceed ingly interesting. Ho said to a HEB re porter : "Tlio natives are not quito ns dark as the Africans , whom they rcsem- bio .lomewhut in features. Their hair is straight , nnd they are tall , simiwy , cour ageous , but not ferocious. With the ex ception of these the mission has reached , they live in an utterly wild stato. They nro divided into tribes hko the North American Indians , and roam through the bush and forests at will. They live in the open air. They have no huts or villages , but sloop under the broad canopy of heaven. They oat everything roots , fish , roubles , birdsworms or game. They are true children of nature , depending solely on what the earth produces at will , or what they catch and kill , for their hiintcnanco. Their only weapon is a long spear which they throw with marvellous dexterity anil skill. They nro very intelligent , docile under the tuition of the whites , and quick to icarn and grasp the ideas of civili/.ation. Wo instruct them in their own language , and they seem plca cd to bo taught how to till tuo soil. In a very few years , if wo had the moans to roach a larger number than these wo can gather and maintain round liio mission stations , I think the great majority of the wild population in north Australia could bo brought under the civilizing agencies of the Christian faith. " "Have they any religious belief of their ownt" asked the reporter. "Yo3. " rnpllod Fnther Strele , ' 'and ono which bears a curious resemblance to certain tenets , of the Christian rcliiiion. They buliovo in Mohiandiug , which means the I'irst Being , a deity who pre sides ovur the good cHlfe. and in a way Towards lhoi ) who do woJl by themselves aud fellow * . They belloTe in a future , both K happy ami unlmpny ono. Thny alto hav knowledge of an evil personage whom they call , Bemud , nnd vrl o in most of his itf correipoads to thu duyil. They have picked up that word from tlie whites , aud of late whenever they have occasion to refer to Ucrauel , tiioy cry , 'Devil devil. ' Berauel is the cause of all mischief , and ho is universally feared. If an unusual noise is hearil , or a sudden .storm arises in the forest , they huddle to gether , trembling with four , crying. 'Devil devil. ' They claim that lierauel appears to thorn ; ho is represented as hav ing a human form terribly distiguroil. If they are abkod about their belief in im mortality , they say : 'If man die , ho is not all gouo. ' Ono tribe nelicves that at death a little black gees out of him. That seem to correspond to our belief in the soul. But it is very dillicult to get at their exact meaning on such matters. Their language is confusing , and their Iradional beliefs are at times surrounded with that mental haze which hangs over many savage tribes. " "Havo they any conception of right and wrong ? " "Yes , a .simple one , of course. They have a good Idea of justice. Wrong means the harming of anyone , and right is being kind and good. " "What are the relations between the sexes ? " "Thoy are very delicate in regard to the marriage tie. Children are betrothed to each other by their parents. Tlio girls mature and are married at fifteen ; thu bridegrooms are generally about twenty years of ago. They do not intermarry in the same tribo. All marriages are be tween persons of dill'oront tribos. You will trace a curious relation between these customs and the civili/.cd code in relation to intermarriage : but , interesting as the study is , wo have no means of getting at their origin. That mental hu/.o of which I spoke , and that mysterious blending of tradition with living circumstances blocks the way at tlio very threshold of the inquiry and wo are compelled to btop bewildered. They have no moans of communication except by the voice and manual signs. 1 have never come across an instance of n writ ten sign , aud m that respect they are lower in the grade of intelligence than the American Indians , many of whom have a rude method of conveying thought nud incident by means of characters and ligures drawn on a piece of bark. " "Havo they any polygamous tenden cies ? " "Yes ; there nro some polygamists among them , but as a general thing polygamy is decried. Should n lubra ( wife ) provu unfaithfulshe is immediately speared ; and all'airs are made pretty warm for a man who steals a .lubra or commits adultery. Ho has to got out of the neigh borhood as quick ns possible. Sometimes a tribal fight is the result ot the abduc tion of a lubra , but as a ruin thu male culprit transfers himself to another tribo. " , c "Have they any curious superstitions J" ' Yea , and spmq of them are very laughable and show the trickincss of the native doctors. For instance , Kangaroo is considered * by them an extremely toothsome dish. Well , ono of the super stitions is that a woman must not oat of it or she will become sick. This is sim ply a trick to keep all the Kangaroos for the men , a very convenient but selfish superstition. Women must not oat alli gators or crocodiles , which are also highly esteemed , for the same reason. Young men without beards are frightened out of eating bats which the old follows are very fond of ; but both wives and young men , who have found out by experience that sickness does not follow the gratification of the palate by such delicacies , take every op portunity of filching morsels of these precious dishes , to their great pain and discomfort , however , if they are found out. " 'You speak of the native doctors do they practice charms or administer po tions in the case of slckneosT" "Thoir practice is very simple. If Iho patient has a pain in his side , tlio doctor merely piuchoa and presses the afllictcd part until tlio pain disappears. The materia mcdica consists of pinch ing and prcshiug for all diseases. \ \ omuls are cured by Kicking wjth the mouth. The natives seem to thrive under this treatment. They are very healthy , and pay little attention to ills which would make other people sweat and groan. The nostrils of nearly nil the babies are pierced , nnd a piece of grasser or wood is put through the hole. TliK is not worn after twenty years of ago. From what I can make out , tins custom is to ensure against drowning. Another peculiar practice is thu raising of scans and welts on the arms nnd body. These are supposed to bo 'beauty marks. ' They swell out to the thickness of a linger , and the mnro of these scars n native has on his body , the better pleased he is witli his appearance. When n mother loses a child she will often cut off a finger in token of her grief. If she loses another , off goes another finger ; and it is not rare to sec a woman with nil the fingers of one hand missing. Both parents arc very much attached to their children. " "Then 1 presume the wild women of Australia are in a much better position than the women of most savage na tions ? " 'Unfortunately ' that presumption is not correct. Tlio man sliaros the afloc- tion of his wife for their offspring , but there his tenderness slops. He looks upon the woman herself ns his slave. Slio has to do all the drudg ery , minister to his wants with prompt alacrity , nnd bo over on the alert to spare him a moment's exertion. All the men do is to hunt and cat and sleep The woman's life is ono of perpetual work and fear. Shu trembles nt the very voice of her licgo lord , who is not spar ing of kicks and cull's if domestic atl'airs are not conducted to his liking. " Father Strelo is stopping at Creighton col lego. * THE TRAILOF DEATH. Mnvsncrn of ImmiKruntN by Indians on the I'rairle. Detroit Free Press : \ \ o had been fol lowing the broad trail left by four or five immigrant wagons for many weary mile * when the ciiide .suddenly halted. What of a wagon train loading across the great prairie ocean toward hiinset ? The wheels hud crushed flower and blossom with their iron tires the iron shod foot had torn tip the creeping vines and sweet grasses the wagons had groaned and complained ns they ascended nnd de scended the sharp swells. That was ail. But nol What of the people the bravo men who were daring hunger , thirst , accident nnd tlio Indians' thirst for blood to reach uo'w homes under the shadows of the Rockies ? What of the stout-hearted wives who worn clinging to them through peril of the children whoso eyes opened wondrously wide at the immensity of the praino ? Yvo thought of them with a chill ns we halted. Aero the wagons had halted as well. A halt two hours before sunset without wood or water at hand mount danger. What danger ? The horses had pawed the ground in n ner vous way as they stood there. The five or six men had nssomplod together on a knoll for consultation. The craia which thuir feet had pressed to earth had not yet recovered its position. Which way had their gaze been turned ? To thu south. What had they seen ? Indians the dark bkinned race of haters human lolngs who glory in having the luiarts of tigers Five , six , seven men again&t Imw many ? Later on wo put the num ber nt fifty. Fifty painted , yelling , shrieking warriors not n drop of pity in any heart , not a feeling of mercy in any bosom. They had caught bight of the white topped wagons and were coming up from the south tigers after human blood. What did the pioneers say among themselves ?
