Jt fs a long document, but it is so grimly humerous that the tniortuuate natives will doubtless read It to the end, and the shippers of corn and wheat will be convnised at the witty hits at the shipyers of cattle and hogs, while both will laugh heartily at the way in which Uncle Billy and the boy George have stuck It to tho shippers of Junber, cowl, wud general merchindlye, {n order fully to appreciate and understand this document hn all Hs details, the reader wilt remember that after several years of fleres Granger agitation and excitement the Lopistuture of Ilnots ‘passed the net pro- viding for a Board of Railrond and Wire- house Comlssioners, whose duty It was to prepare anid proclatin aschedute of tha masi- mum rates to be charged for transportation on the raitvouds within this State. ‘The Com- nilssioners were it time appolutdd, and’ in 1878 the famous sehedule was published and has been the law of Titlnols to Uiis thie, ‘Mis schedule of 1st} was adopted at na thne when the country was passing through n setson of irredeemable paper.

JHE SALUTE TO THE BRITISH FLAG, "Pho salute of the British flag, at the close of the recent Yorktown pageant over the enpture of the British there 100 years 2x0, by the representatives of our urmy and navy upon the order of the President, 1s Com- mander-In-Chicf, wag a graceful act of in- ternationn! courtesy. ‘fhe purpose of the salute was clearly and appropriately stated by President Arthur In his order to give It, “tn recogmttun of the friendly relations so tong and so happtly subsisting between (rent Britain and the United States, In the trust and confidence of peace and good will ‘hotween the two countries for all the cen- turies to come, and espectally as on inark of the profound respeet entertained by tho American people for the Illustrious sover- elgn and gracious. Indy who sits upon the British throne.” . Z No more fitling or graceful recognition of the sympathy of the English people with us fia tha of profound sorrow could have been mae than to salute tho British flag upon an occasion which celebrated a crown- ing victory over tho sume flag, and President Arthur did well to Include not only the Brit- ish people in his order, but also “the tlus- triuus sovereign aud greclous Indy.” ‘Phe expressions of sympa thy with the ‘A mertean people came from uvery elass of the Brit- Ish people—from workingmen, tradesmen, ehurehmen, scholars, merchants, and the nobllity—and each class vied with the other in declaring its admiration for thd memory of our dead President and Its sympathy with us in our great sorrow, giving tothosedecla- rations an earnestness and cordintity that could not hayebeen more apparently slucere had tho victlin of the nssasin been thelr own Queen, ‘Their sovereign crowned this touch- {ng tribute of national sympathy by express- ing her feelings In the most tender manner towards the Individual methbdys of the Gar- field family, and ordering her representative to place a wreath upon the dead President's hier, it was a happy .colneldence that the tine enme so soon when tho oficial recognl- tion contd be made, though appreciative re- sponses had already been sent to every mes- snge, by 8 prominent public uct which would express the gratitude of the Government as well as of the people for the unankmous and hearty condolence of the English people. 1t added to tho appropriateness of this salute that it occurred on the anniversary of the Yorktown surrender, and was thérefore @ proof that the celebration was in no sense a rejoleing over the discomfture of Great Uritain, but only the observance of a great event in the history of American Nberty and an expression of Joy, over the progréss mado sineo that time, It also tended to show that there remains no longer any of the old-time anger and bitterness, and that the two nations have come closer to- gether, In no format altlance, but In bonds of good feeling and friendship, and that they can Independently aet together In future forthe good of tha world, though politically divided, 1t is no affront to our National pride to salute tho beaten British flag, and that the British people are not in any way hunilinted is shown by the expressions of pleasure they have already given utterance to in referring to the graceful act, As thne goes on, It will not be diMleutt to recognize the compensations In the death of our great aud gout President, and not the least of these Is the removal of the last obstacle that stood In the way of friendship and sympathy between the two countric: Noxw of tho Bourbon papers take Judge Davia’ Independence of Bourbons more to heart than the misnamed Republican of Bt.
