LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Oct. 14 Behind closed doors at the Gait house prominent traffic officials of transcontinental and southeastern roads today discussed the question of a croos-contlnent and gulf rate, upon which they could not agree last week in Chicago. The situation has developed into a fight on the part of the roela throughout the section bourded by the Ohio river on the north Hiid the Mississippi river on the west agaitiFt the western transcontinental lines. The roads which comprise the Southeast ern Freight association and those In the Transcontinental Freight association until recently have been making through rates from Tennessee. Georgia and to other south ern states to the Pacific roast and vice versa. The southeastern lines, however, for the last five years have been dissatisfied with the divisions they got out of the through rate, but their demands for a larger division were refused. The south eastern lines then cancelled their e&stbound rales from the Pacific. That was during July and since then shippers from or to California have had to bill their goods twice. The transcontinental lines retaliated by abolishing westbound rates and the manufacturers were left without through rates. This state of af fairs led to the closing down of many fac tories In the south In the last few months. Formerly they were given a through rate of about 11.45 for their product to Cali fornia. Now the lowest combination rate amoimta to tl.65. Thpy lost heavily on goods they had agreed to lay down In Cali fornia at a certain price and are afraid to sell khead on contracts. Cotton piece goods have been shipped around Cape Horn to California for the first time In decades. The southeastern roads have two alternative which they are debating whether to ask the transcon tlnental lines to go tn with them on a horl sontal Increase of about 10 or more per cent on this business or to raise their own sep arate rates to points where the roods are turned over to the western lines. Many southern manufacturers claim that a raise tn rates will kill their business. MOVEMENTS 0FTHE D0WIEITES gome Go and to Hew York on Crnsade Others Will Colonise Sortfc Dakota. CHICAGO.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP IS HIS THEME American Repabllo the Best Form of Government for Patriots, hot Worst Form for Others, is His Opinion. CHICAGO, Oct. 14. "Give to our people something that will concentrate their com mon affection and solicitous care and let that be their country's good; give them a purpose that stimulates them to unite in lofty endeavor and let that purpose be a demonstration for efficiency and benef icence of our popular rule." This was the solution offered by former President Qrover Cleveland as a remedy for corrupt politics, in a speech before the members of the Commercial club at their annual banque't given at the Auditorium hotel tonight. The subject discussed by Mr. Cleveland waa "American Good Clt Ixenslilp," and he dwelt at length on the necessity of every citizen doing his part to make political action what It should be. Tills is the first time In eight years that Mr. Cleveland has visited Chlcsgo, and he received an enthusiastic reception by th 200 banqueters when he appeared at the speakers' table. His speech in part was as follows: Mr. Cleveland Speaks. ' As I understand my situation, I am under bonds to keep the peace, if possible, by eschewing oolltics In the few words 1 shall speak tonight; and I hope 1 may fulfill the condition of my bono: and avoid aisturmng those most suspicious of my conduct if 1 deal with that old, old topic, American uooa . ltixensrup. Our Kovernment is made bv patriotic, uu selfish, sober-minded men for the control of and protection of a patriotic, unselfish and sober-minded people. It Is suited to such a people; but for those who are selfish, corrupt and unpatriotic, it Is the worst government on earth. It la so constructed that It needs, for its successful operation the constant care and guiding hand of the people's abiding faith and lova; and not only is this unremitting guidance necessary to keep our national mechanism true to Its work, but the faith and love which prompt It ure the best safe-guards against selflh citizenship. We are told that the national splendor we have built upon the showy ventures of speculative wealth, is a badge of our KUucess, I'usharing contentment Is en Joined upon the masses of pur people; and thev sre Invited, in the' bare subsistence of their scanty homes, to patriotically re joice In their oranlry's prosperity. This Is too unsubstantial an enjoyment of bene fits to satisfy those who have been taught American equality; and thus has arisen bv a perfectly natural process, a dis satisfied insistence urn in a better dlstrlbu. tlon of the results of our vaunted pros perity. gome Objectionable Thinga, 'We now see Its worst manifestation In the apparently Incorrigible dislocation of the tiroDer relation ueiween taoor ano capital. This, of Itself is sufficiently dls treasina: but thouKhtful men. are not with, out oread of sadder developments yet to come. There has also grown up among our people a disregard for the restraints of law and a disposition to evade Its lim itations, while querulous strictures con cerning the action of our courts tend to undermine oooular faith in our courts of Justice; ana last, but by no mean least, complaints of Imaginary or exaggerated shortcomings in our financial policies fur nish an excuse for the flippant exploitation of all sorts of monetary nostrums. I hasten to give the assurance that I have not spoken In a spirit of gloomy pessimism. I shall be the last of all our people to believe that the saving grace of patriotism among my countrymen la dead or will alwaya sleep. I know tnat it's timely revival and activity mean the realisation of the loftiest hopes of a free naUon. i have faith that the awakening is forthcoming; and on this faith 1 build a cheerful hope for the healing of all the wounds Indicted In slumber and neglect. Their creed should bind together In gen erous co-operation all who are willing to fight to make our government what the fathers Intended It to be a depository of benefits which, in equal current and vol ume, should flow out to all the peopie. This creed should teach the wickedness of attempting to mske free opportunity the occasion for seizing especial advantages, and should warn against the dangers of ruthless rapacity. It should deprecatg os "n,.tt"ff K?k2" ih-".iiI of public affairs simplicity and strict economy. It should teach toleration In all things save dishonesty and infidelity to public trusts. Mr. Cleveland arrived tt Chicago early thla morning and went direct to tha Auditorium hotel, where he greeted a number of friends who were waiting to meet him. At 1 o'clock this afternoon he was the guest of Cyrus H. McCormlck and David R. Jones at a luncheon given In his honor at the Chicago club. Concluding this he attended the Studebaker theater as the guest of James H. Eckels, comptroller of the currency during Mr. Cleveland's sec ond administration. Aside from a publlo reception to be given In Mr. Cleveland's honor at the Art Institute, the program has not been definitely decided. After the reception he will leave for his home in Princeton, N.
