COLLISION.
Itco Freight Trains Try to Pass Each other
on the Same TracI: and Fail---One No,,

Too Freight Trains Try to Pass Each other
on the Same TracI; and FaiI---One Han
Seriously Hurt.
About O'Clock last evening the regular
freight train which leaves Minneapolis at
5:45 collided with the freight train from
Albert Lea near the suspension bridge,
smashing both locomotives and wrecking
four freight cars. The fireman (Allen
Northrup), on the train from Albert Lea,
jumped from the engine, breaking his leg
and sustaining other serious injuries.
The cause of the accident was the care
lessness of the engineer on the train from
Albert Lea, his train being fifteen minutes
late, and he should have waited at the depot
for the train going south to pass, but sup
posing that the other train would wait he
started for the freight yard, and as a natural
result the two trains met on the one track.
If Northrup, the fireman, had not jumped
from the engine he would have been killed,
as the tender was thrown on the cab, com
pletely crushing it.
A wrecking car and force of men
was at work when the GLOBE messenger
left, and twas thought the track would be
cleared by midnight. The authorities of the
road promise close investigation of the
causes of the collision, and the person OF
persons to blame will be discharged.

HARMONY.

The TtCenty-Sece1ath Legislative District
Presents a Solid ont--Greenbacher and
Democrats United on One Set of CanIi-
ddtes--Let the Good Example be Follo,ceG.
AS is well known, the effort has been in
to harmonic the few points of difference
which exist between the Democratic
and Greenback- National candidates,
and with this view a meeting
of the two district committees
met at the city hall yes
terday afternoon to consult upon basis
of compromise, and ascertain if harmonious
action at the polls were possible
The Democratic party was represented by
a committee consisting of Daniel Watt,
chairman; Mel McNiel, of Dayton; and P. P.
Swenson and John Schurch, of Minneapolis.
The Nationals were represented by a COM
mittee consisting of John McGuirk, chair
man, and Messrs. Warde, of Brooklyn, and
Krich, of Minneapolis.
AS means of harmony all the candidates
for the House on each ticket had empowered
their several committees to use their discre-
ton, and drop their names if necessary to
effect an honorable and equitable agree
ment. The candidates who received the
National Greenback nomination were T. A.
Clark and G. B. @. .Dougherty, of Mime
apolis, and A. p. Lane, of Champlin. The
Democratic nominees were Frank j. Mead,
of Minneapolis, Harry Ghostly, of Cham
plin, and j. M. Corcoran, of Corcoran.
The two committees assembled promptly
at 2 O'Clock and entered at once upon the
duty assigned them. The generous action
of the candidates on both tickets had left
the committee little to do except to come as
near the equities of the case as possible, and
the business was soon transacted. After
some little discussion of the merits and de-
merits of the men named, the following
ticket was unanimously agreed upon:
Frank J. Mead, of Minneapolis.
I. A. Clark, of Minneapolis
j. M. Corcoran. of Corcoran.
The gentlemen whose names the commit
tee agreed to drop, and who had generously
placed themselves in the hands of their COM
mlttees to insure harmonious action, deserve
and will receive the thanks of their friends.
With two tickets i'll the field there was small
show for the election of any. With one
ticket, solid front is presented, and all that
now remains to make victory certain, is to
close up the ranks and charge courageously
upon the common enemy.
IL IS que 10 MesSrS. Ghostly. Lane and
Dougherty to state that no one of them
sought the nomination from their respective
conventions. Their nomination was sponta-
neous, and prompted by their evident fitness
for the positions, and their known loyalty to
the principles upheld by the parties of which
they were members.
The Twenty-si1th and Twenty seventh
legislative districts now present solid front
to the vicious Republican party-now let the
county tickets consolidate and Mr.. Washburn
and the Republican county nominees will
hear something drop,

The latest report from Brother Scott's

that this highly charitable enterprise prom

Now, it is surprising how short and
unreliable good mans memory can
be sometimes. Singuiarly enough, Broth
er Scott forgot to send the money
he had collected from the public
to pay for the sacrifcial animal, and the
butcher (heartless man) declined to send the
OK out until the money was forthcoming.
Hence the OK was not roasted, and the
prodigal son could not be fed according to
adver tisement.

ONE OF THE "INS4NE IDIOTS''
H0WTE

HOWLS.
No comedy company ever furnished as
much mirth as does the antics of Dave
Blakely in the Minneapolis Tribune. He is
a ft:subject for st. Peter, though we hope
he will not be thus lost to journalism. There
is too much fun in having him about and
seeing him prance.
The GLOBE yesterday took occasion to in
dulge in little comment upon the projected
Inc of the Northern Pacific road
from Sank Rapids down the west
bank of the river. Our COM
ments wero in reply to Bill Kings abuse Gn
both ends) of the St. Paul Chamber of Com
MERGE for having dared to pass a resolution
Of inquiry relative to this projected road.
That we might not be misunderstood
the GLOBE made this distinct statement:
We are glad that the resolution of inquiry
adopted by the Chamber was offered by well
known friend Of Mr.. Washburn-for the insane
idiots, little and big, all over the country, can
not charge upon us that this is a political
movement to endanger his chances.
David Blakely had no sooner caught a
glimpse of the article than he at once as
sumed the role of s'little insane IDIOT" the
result of which appears in the lucubration
quoted elsewhere from last nights
Tribune. AS he chooses to as
sumo that Mr.. Washburn is "in' with
the Northern Pacific ring, the GLOBE will
not deny it, but accepts the situation as
his Tribune presente it. We are justified in
assuming that he is correctly portrayed when
the Tribune depicts him as narrow minded
bigot, and on that elevated plane we leave
him to secure support.
So far from the GLOBE opposing any rail
road enterprise, it favors all legitimate ones.
It simply announces that it will not stand by
and see this city wantonly stabbed, without
vigorous exposure and protest. The ex-
tension of railroads to all points in the State,
and cities, all of them, is the de-
sire of the GLOBE. We would not tear down
Minneapolis to build up st. Paul, but would
advance both cities together. If Mr.. Wash
burn and his friends choose to make the mat
ter in question political, SO be it, and SO much
posed that Mr.. Washburn desired to go be-
fore the people and ask their sufrages on
the ground that he was an enemy of st.
Paul, but it is certainly fair, if this is the
case, for him to make the open announce
ment, as he now has done, previous to the
election.
We are proud to say that Donnelly stands
on no such narrow basis, and if he had no
other claim for support than simply to adj
vance the interests of ST. Paul, the GLOBE
would oppose him as emphatically as it now
sustains him. Mr.. Donnelly will go to Con-
gress to represent every interest, every town,
every city in the District. Nay, more.
He will represent the interests
of the whole State. If he
stood on any other basis, if he stood as the
champion of any locality at the expense Of
another, he would deserve the ignominious
defeat which awaits Mr.. Washburn, instead
of the laurel wreath which will grace his
brow in November.

CONFESSION OF GUILT.

The Minneapolis Millers' Association, 9TH
erwise known as the Washburn Wheat ring,
have been claiming that they were paying
fair prices for wheat, that the market was
open, that any one from st. Paul or any,
where else could come in and buy at the
same rates, etc. Dave Blakely sang this
evening song in his little Tribune, and Bill
King howled it from both ends
of him in the uorning. Andrews,
the Milwaukee inspector imported by
the ring, sent an offer to the st. Paul Cham
Der of Commerce to sell them wheat at prices
which they (the ring had paid, while the
dotard who corrals an arithmetic once q
month into an imaginary report, put in his
squeaking oar in behalf of the Wheat Shy
lock and his ring.
But 10 and behold Daniel come to iudg-
ment The Milwaukee g. St. Paul road
concluded it wanted some of that cheap
wheat, and accordingly buyers were
put in the field on the main line
of the st. Paul & Pacific this week. Per-
haps the movement was to force conces-
sion from the ring upon some other point,
but that is immaterial. The outside BUYERS
entered the field and Washburn's ring took
the alarm. The old game of running off,
was resorted to and during the past two
days the Minneapolis Millers' association has
advanced the price of wheat along the st
Paul & Pacific SIC cents. During the same
period it has declined six cents
in Milwaukee, SO that, judged by
the Milwaukee standard, they have really
advanced twelve cents over last weeks
prices.
This is a "report'' which ought to satisfy
both ends of Bill King. 1t proves all that
has been charged upon the ring, and shows
that they have either been robbing the farmer,
by paying below the value of wheat, or else
that they are now paying a fictitious price
for the purpose of squelching competition
and restoring prices to the old rate or worse.
This game has been played before, and the
farmer is always the sufferer, for when The
ring clears the track the price goes down
sufficiently low to make up for losses. .
The fact is that the Wheat Shylock of
Minnesota has the farmers of Minnesota by
the throat The Shylock proposes to have
no competition if money can prevent it.
What the people want is not the temporary
advance which such squirt as the present
brings, but they want to obtain the intrinsic

DOWN WITH MINNEAPOLIS.
The GLOBE comes out this morning with
q slangwhanging editorial, in which it ap-
peals to st. Paul local interests to support
that one of the two Congressional candidates
which can most certainly be depended upon
to oppose any purpose the Northern Pacific
railroad may have to take hold of the Min
neopolis, st. Cloud & Sank Rapids railroad
or any other project, Qike that of
the falls appropriation for instance.)
which may benefit Minneapolis. Thus the
GLOBE proposes to arouse feeling of ZEAL
ousy on the part of the st. Paul people to-
ward Minneapolis and its enterprises. and
prostitute it to the service of the Donnelly
can paign. The shibboleth of the GLOBE is.
"Down with all Minneapolis men and ali
Minneapolis enterprises This is the first
open and avowed expression we have ever
observed in any st. Paul newspaper of a
hostility to neighboring city deep enough
to be openly appealed to to make itself felt in
political compaign. Of course the GLOBE
has carefully felt the popular pulse, and
weighed the chances before opening its bat
teries upon Mr.. Washburn from purely
local standpoint. 1t evidently believes it is
for Its interest as newspaper to take this
open stand-for newspaper cannot long
array itself against the popular current with
out experiencing loss.
But we trust the GLOBE had miscalculated
the sentiments of the people of st. Paul
when it thus boldly flies the black FLAG of
local piracy, and proclaims that opposition
to Minneapolis should be the moving inn
pulse of the voters of whole city. We de-
cline to believe that the people of st. Paul
can be depended upon to respond to SO base
and degrading an appeal. 1t has been thecon-
slant boast of her leading citizens that they
have pride and pleasure in the prosperity
and progress of both cities, that they look
forward to their final union, and that
they have cheerfully contributed to this end
in all reasonable ways. The event will
prove whether or not this claim is an honest
one. Evidently the GLOBE believes it is not,
for its outburst this morning is
clearly the result of due elaboration,
and the announcement of its pol
icy of war upon Minneapolis and Minneap-
oils interests in the keynote of its future
campaign. The GLOBE has spoken. Now
let US hear from the people of st. Paul them-
selves. If "war upon Minneapolis is to be
their campaign battle-cry, it is fair that due
notice should be given that the people may
know to what desperate straits the cam
paign of the pestiferous little demagogue
whom the Democracy have dignifed as their
candidate for Congress-, has descended. It
is the first time in modern history that it
has been proposed to sacrifice the political
rights, and interests of the people of a whole
district, to the petty jealousies sought to be
engendered between two cities, the SUBJ
urbs of which there is not a decade of growth
between.
