JOHN SHERMAN'S ASPIRATIONS,

Reports have been pretty generally circu-
lated for the past few days to the effect that
the friends of Secretary Sherman. seeing the
hopa!essness of his candidacy for President,
have advised him to withdraw from the field
entirely in favor of either Blaine Or Wash
burne with the purpose of defeating the
nomination of Grant. Thus far, it appears,
the secretary has turned deaf ear to their
entreaties and advice, and asseverates that
he is more confident to-day than ever before
that he will carry of the prize at Chicago.
He claims to have confidential advices from
the South and West that indicate
the probability of his carrying enough
votes to make him formula
BILE candidate at the convention, With enough
in favor of him as second choice to render
his nomination certain after the first two or
three ballots.
We have no doubt whatever but Mr.. Sher-
man believes himself the greatest man now
drawing the breath of life. He also credits
himself with having saved the country from
bankruptcy and established greenbacks upon
an equality with gold. He does not ques-
ton for moment but his image is enshrined
in the hearts of large majority of the
American people, who are industriously ly-
ing awake o'nights longing for an oppor-
tunity to vote for him as chief magistrate
of the nation. He is probably the most
egotistical man in all the thirty eight States
is insane on the subject of his own great
ness. He even takes the credit upon him
self for the bountiful hsrvesss of the past
two years, not even permitting the Almighty
the honor of having SO tempered the seasons
as to render these good crops possible. He
ascribes it all to his own financial policy.
Mr.. Sherman announced to his friends on
Saturday that he had ordered large number
of copies of his biography written by an
sdmiring friend at mis- own dictation),
and that as soon as the order could be COM
pleted they would be sown broadcast over
the country. The writer of the biography.
it might be incidentally remarked, is en-
ployed and paid by the treasury department,
the pamphlet is printed at the government
printing Office and paid for out of the treas
ury, and it is mailed to all parts of the coun-
try in official envelopes under the deadhead
stamp of the treasury department. We pre-
sumo that the clerk who addresses and mails
the documents is paid by the general gov
eminent. 1t will thus be seen that Mr..
Sherman is not subjected to very heavy

THE LOST BABY.
A Possibility of Its whereabouts Being
Discarded.

A Possibility of Its Whereabouts Being
Discarded.
In it's enlightened province as a correct
dissemination of news the GLOBE chronicled
the presence in this city few days since of
Mr.. John F. Spencer of Albion, Wright
county, who visited st. Paul in hopes of sub
stantiating clue to the whereabouts of his
girl baby who was abducted on the 10th
of last September. A full and exclusive
account of the abduction appeared in Tues
days issue of the GLOBE, additional details
appearing in the subsequent issue.
In the accounts mentioned reference was
made to the agonizing grief of the father
and description of the child was given as
she appsared at the time of the abduction.
The unusual character of the case and the
pathetic nature Of the surrounding circum-
stances awakened feelings of widespread
sympathy and the episode was subject of
comment throughout the city. Among those
who read the account were Mr.. and Mrs.
Cottenham, residing at the corner of
Twelfth and Jackson streets.
To them it partially came as a revelation,
for residing with them and cherished as dear
Iy as could have been their own,
was a sprightly little waif that exactly an
swered to the description. Although tolera-
bly, familiar with the child's history and
quite certain of her antecedents there yet
remained a doubt as to her exact identity
and with the object of having the doubt dis
solved MIR. CotteHham visited police head
quarters yesterday afternoon and related his
story.
According to the best information the
Oh Id now in the latter's possession was
brought from st. Peter few weeks since by
Mrs. Hoyt, a lady we'll known and highly
esteemed in that vicinity. The child is said
to have been brought from Winona when
eighteen months old, having been adopted
by the daughter in-law of Mrs. Hoyt. The
peculiar feature of the case is that the latter
doesn't seem to know the child's real name,
but states that she received it from its moth
er, woman of the town. Having more than
she could attend to, she turned the little girl
over to her mother in-law, who brought it to
| this city, where it was adopted by Mr.. and
Mrs. Cottenham. A GLOBE reporter called
at the residence of the latter last evening for
the purpose of seeing the child.
From all outward appearance she CORE
spends with the description given by Mr..
Spencer. Rather petite in size for child
over three years of age; she has bright dark
eyes, a fine forehead rosy cheeks and luxu-
RANT blonde hair that falls in ringlets about
her neck and shoulders. She is the picture
of health ana beauty, and as bright as q
newly-minted dollar. A photograph of the
child will be taken and sent to Mr.. Spencer,
and although fondly attached to her the
family would willingly give her up should
it by some remote chance prove to be Mr..
Spencer's daughter, which is barely prob
able.

Church Sociable Entertainment.

A pleasant entertainment was given last
evening by the members of the First Metho-
dist church at the residence of Mr.. w. w.
Thayer, opposite the capitol on Cedar street.
The programme consisted of Rotations,
and vocal and instrumental music, all of
which were of the most enjoyable and enter
tanning character. The exercises opened
With a duet by the Misses Connolly and
Davis, which was rendered in good style and
productive of much pleasure.
Following this, an able and carefully pre-
pared paper was read by Mr.. 81. Il. Herbst,
who selected as theme the ever memorable
Chicago confagration. Notwithstanding
the hackneyed character of the subject, it
was treated in navel style by the reader,
who drew graphic picture of the greatest
fire ON record. A song entitled the ''Night-
ingale's Trill, was rendered by Mrs. Thayer,
and Mr.. E. L. Chaplin sang ely forth, oh,
Gentle Dove" both selections being given
IN fine voice, and the efforts We're highly ap-
preciated.
A recitation by MIR. Woodward was we'll
received and instrumental selections were
given in excellent style by Mrs. E. Baber
Parthorn and Mrs. Thayer, the entertain
ment closing with an address by the Rev.
DR.. Davis.

Our inference is that the constitution and
interests of the st. Paul, Omaha & Chicago
company, soon TO be organized, will be in
harmony with the great international meas
ure of direct railway communication with
the Sault Ste. Marie from the districts con-
verging northwest from Duluth to the Sas-
katchewan, and southwest to the Missouri at
Omaha, and its eastward extension to tide
water. That such great northern highway
has already enlisted the moral and material
forces requisite for its construction at no dis
tant day-perhaps coincident with
the completion of the Canada
Pacific from Red River to Thur
der Bay-seems foregone conclusion. Its
eastern or Canadian division is reasonably
certain of government aid; we have already
remarked with much satisfaction that Messrs.
George Stephen and Il. B. Angus, represent
ing powerful railway and financial combi-
nation, have become interested in the enter
prise, and if the strong New York parties,
who are now identified with the st. Paul,
Omaha & Chicago syndicate, will recognize
its continental Importance, the links of con-
nection westward to the Sault Ste. Marie are
quite likely to be first in operstion-a result
which will be the precursor of larger COM
pacts of commercial reciprocity.

We trust he will remain in the field. It
will need an ignominious defeat to bring him
partially to his senses. He stands far bet
ter chance of being struck by lightning than
of securing the nomination as President.
If by any chance, however, he should secure
the nomination, he can never be elected, for
lightning never strikes twice in the same
place, especially when there is no greater
attraction than Sherman presents to the
electric fluid. His last letter to a friend,
which said friend prints according to pro-
gramme, gives the hopeful assurance that he
will be fool enough to stick until the Chi
cago convention repudiates him.

BLOCKADE LIFTED.
The Northern Pacific Ice Fighters on the
Dakota Division Zone Together Through

The Northern Pacific Ice Fighters on the
Dakota Division Zone Together Through
Trains to Bismarck Tomorrow.
The gratifying news was received at the
Northern Pacific headquarters, this city,
from superintendent Towne last evening,
that his working party and the one work
ing east from Bismarck under Mr.. Bell, en-
gagged in removing the snow and ice obstruc-
ton on the Dakota division of the road, had
come together at Fourteenth siding, or in
other words, that the blockade had been re-
moved.
The fight of the railroad company against
the elements has been most desperate one.
In the first place the past winter has been a
most exceptional one, another with
such a long season of extreme cold,
high winds and frequent snow falls being
unknown to the Oldest settler. Add to this that
the fires last fall swept the prairies smooth
of grass, leaving nothing to retain the snow
in its place as it fell, and the conditions were
perfect for the wind to sweep the snow from
the prairie and deposit it in the cuts and
along the track of the railroad. Held here
the fierce wind packed the snow until it be-
came of the consistency of ice, upon which a
snow pillow driven by half dozen engines
could make no effect.
For more than two weeks past the compa-
ny have been engaged in efforts to remove
this blockade, having more than 200 men
employed. all that could be proitabiy used,
working from both ends of the line,
with engines, snow plows and a
complete working outfit of provisions,
boarding cars, etc., and though the utmost
energy and determination has been exer-
cised, it was only on yesterday afternoon
that Superintendent Towne could report &C.
complishment of the task.
This morning the two working parties will
continue on, the one to Jamestown and the
other to Bismarck, removing the loose snow
that may have blown into the cuts since
their passage. With brief Interruptions the
line has been kept open between Fargo and
Jamestown, at which point quite large
amount of freight for Bismarck and points be-
yond has been gathered. Yesterday four trains
with extra engines left Fargo for jamestown.
and it is expected the working party from
the West will reach that point this evening,
and the road be open for business its entire
length. Should this be the case, the extra
engines sent forward from Fargo yesterday,
will be put into service in moving forward
the freight accumulated at Jamestown,
while passenger train for Bismarck will
be dispatched from Fargo, and also fiom this
point. tomorrow evening. 1t should be
stated that there has been no detention on
the road between this city and Fargo during
the entire winter, the company running two
passengers trains daily between the two
points and moving all the freight offered.

IT is stated in the Washington dispatches
that the postofiee department has concluded
the contracts for star mail service in about q
dozen States, the total amount of the awards
being $ss5,OOO. Judging from the past
record of the department it will make but
little difference what the amount of the
awards is, as the postmaster general seems
to exercise the privilege of trebling or quad
rupling the contract price just as it suits his
own sweet will.

Competition for Chicago Business.
[Sioux City Journal, 10th.

Now that the St. Paul road has connec-
ton of its own with Chicago it is possible
that something might be worked up in the
way of through rates over that road. It is
not as direct as some of the other routes to
Chicago, but it is not SO long but that
freight could be proftably hauled over it at
less than the present rate charged. Indeed
it is not 80 much the discriminating rate that
is CALLING to the business men in this city. as
the fact that the whole eastern carrying bus
mess of the city is in the hands of close
combination that makes rates from which
there are no appeal to the tribunal of free
competition. From the statement of Gem
eral Manager Bishop, of that road, that the
company stood on the same footing as the
Central as to the use of the road bed between
this city and LIE Mars, it would appear that
there was nothing in this lease to prevent
free competition for Chicago business.
