DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 16.-The forces
that have SO long stood faithfully by Sena.

ballot to-day was of ''go as you please
order, and STOOD Ferry, 10; Newton,
Democrat, At; Palmer, 8; Guteheon, 4

On the second ballot there was no material

INVESTIGATING THE CANVASS.
The legislative investigating committee
this morning, examined Marsden G. Burch
ex-United States district attorney for west
ern Michigan, an active Ferry manager,
during the pending contest. He knew of
no Objectionable transactions on Ferry's
side, and believed Ferry and his managers
had conducted their campaign in clean,
unobjectionable manner. Neither he nor the
rest of the committee knew any
thing about Bagley's doings. He
did not believe Thompson's
story of yesterday, and knew of no offer of
patronage or of money. He thought the
anti-Ferry canvass had been improper in
many respects.
Rice A. Beal, chairman of the Ferry
committee, admitted that Ferry had prom
ised him he could rely on his (Ferry's)
support in the matter and of any prom
ises he should make. He had promised a
young member of the legislature the
secretaryship of one of the territories and
had offered another the Monroe postoffice
and 81, 200 clerkship for his son. This
he did because he loved his friends and
wanted to help them.

Michigan Central, Lake Shore, the Wa
bashes, Reading, Illinois Central and Man
itoba. The latter broke 3 per cent. There

the end. Its earnings for the second week
in February show an increase of $1,000.
Some pretty liberal covering during the

in prices. Any rally of moment must
come from frightening of the shorts, but
they are having such a remarkably good
time that each day appears to make them

REERDE1L's testimony in the star route
trial is really the only evidence against the
defendants that is worth the consideration
of the jury. 1t goes to establish conspir-
acy to defraud the government as charged
in the indictment, and duplicates all the
partners in the transaction, more especial
ly Brady and the Dorseys. It is rumored
that Miner, another of the defendants, will
take the stand for the government. I'm
less the testimony of Reerdell can be over
thrown there will be little prospect of a
verdict of acquittal.

Their example is likely to be followed, to
some extent, but probably Will not be so far as
to show how generally the women of the state
are opposed to the suffrage movement. Without
depreciating the high character and great energy
of those who advocate woman suffrage, or the
social prominence of some OF them, it is true,
nevertheless, that, IN spite of their incessant de-
mands for public attention, they are compare

SHARP Mr.. Hatton, the postmaster gener-
al of the United States, in fact, through
the imbecility of one T. o. Howe, put up
neat job to fleece the government out of
100000 year. This man Hatton is the
owner of the National Republican newspa-
per, the Presidents organ. Hatton's game
was this: He induced Van Horn, of Mis-
souri,, to submit to the House resolution
that all executive proclamations, all adver-
tisements, notices or proposals for con-
tracts and supplies for any department of
the government should be published in two
daily papers in the District of Columbia,
one of each political party, to be desig-
mated by the President, also that the court
advertisements be published in one paper,
to be selected by the President. The bill
was read by its title twice, and was about
to be put on its passage, when Mr.. Robin
son, of Massachusetts,, exposed the scheme
of Hatton, showing up the monopoly the
bill was intended to cover, and the fraud
that might be practiced under it. The
courage of Mr.. Robinson produced such a
sentiment that Van Horn asked for and
obtained leave to Withdraw the matter en-

TIE fact that Mr., Blaine is to write a

good deal of attention. The Chicago
Tines suggests that it will be valuable
record of what nah should avoid if he

aspirant learn wisdom? The truth of his
tory is that most men have reached the
presidency by accident. The only sue
cessful political intrigue. of late days, that

JUDGING by the number of amendme nts
to the general laws of 1878, passed by the
present Legislature, it will be necessary to
have revision of the statutes prepared
and published, or the old revision printed
on double foolscap so as to afford room for
marginal annotations. The amount of
special legislation enacted under the guise
of amendments to general laws, must be a
surprise to Col. Hicks, the father of the
anti-special legislation amendment to the
constitution, but it simply bears out what
the GLOBE said at the time the amendment
was pending before the legislature.

The bill introduced in the house yester
day by Mr.. James Smith, Jr., providing for
the safety of elevators and hosting ap
paratus is good measure in all its de-
tails. The frequency of fatal accidents in
all the larger cities caused by the want of
protection to those operating and using
the elevators, warrants the severe penal
ties imposed by the bill. 1t is wise, also,
to pass the bill before there shall be
large number of these elevators con-
structed after a faulty pattern.

HE senate, after amending the bill
regulating the practice of medicine so as
to permit quacks of five years standing
to continue their practice, indefinitely
passed the measure. An empire still
older in sin, according to the process of
reasoning of the senators, would be en-
titled to the highest rank in the medical
profession. The more people he has been
able TO kill the more is he entitled to re-
spect. 1t would seem to man upa tree,
however, that if there is any injury
wrought by quacks at all, it is wrought in
greatest degree by those most expert and
experienced in its practice. Against these
a common sense law ought to be directed,
but common sense is an article that had
little to do nth the framing or passage of

THERE is considerable meat in the fol-

THERE is considerable meat in the fol-
lowing remarks by our esteemed contem-
porary, the New York Tribune:
The sentiment of the country on tariff revision
appears to he this: tariff bin should be passed,
and the Republicans ought to sit up all night to
pass tiff that becomes necessary. The Demo-
Gratis may obstruct, but unless their course is
plainly revolutionary the people viii notabsolve
the Republican party from responsibility if
tariff revision fails. IL Republican congressman
would work harder their courage would improve
and they would be less inclined to take doleful
view of the situation.
The Tribune knows, however, as well as
the country, that the Democrats are doing
nothing to ''obstruct" They are simply
doing their duty, which is to watch and
guard, so that the Republicans may not
tuck in any of their sly jobs. If it were
not for the vigilance Of the Democrats the
people would wake up some fine morning
and find that the Republican statesmen had
everything safely stuffed in their own
pockets. That this may not happen, the
Democrats will continue to watch and
pray.

ton. No railroad would give different
rates to Smith or Brown under
like conditions. But special rates
have to be established to meet certain ex-
listing conditions. Iron-clad leglslatson
which would prevent such special rates to
encourage industries, as is done, would do
great injury to the state. 1t is necessary
for railroads to charge just what they can
get at competitive points. At Bismarck
we meet river competition, and we
cordingly. The only question in connection
with this whole matter, he thought, is
whether fair rates are charged to non
competing points, and he did not think any
one acquainted with the facts would say
| that such fair rates we're not now extended.
Gen. Haupt illustrated his point as to the
necessity of favoring large industries by
pointing to the development of
the coal business of the Penn
sylvania Central road, first given an impe-
tus to by cutting down rates to merely
nominal sum.
Speaking of the pooling system Gen.
Haupt said it simply had the effect of
maintaing rates-putting the small ship
pers on the same footing as the larger
| and was therefore advantageous TO Ine
public as well as the roads.
WHEAT MOVEMENT.
In illustration of the cost of operating
the Northern Pacific road, and the rev enue
from the wheat business, Gen, Haupt pre-
sented some figures showing the cost on
the line from Fargo to Duluth, as follows:
Cost per train mile one way slips; both
ways $3.50; distanced Travelled 275 miles.
With twenty cars to a train the cost for
| each car would be $34.35. Allowing
400 bushels to car and the
average price received &c per bushel,
which in 2,750,O00 bushels representing the
whole crop of Minnesota, and Dakota,
would give the company $4,000. The
amount of Minnesota wheat hauled last
year was 100000, equal to $4,000. The
taxes paid by the company in 1882 to the
state amounted to $76, 733, or S12,732 more
than its profit in the transportation of
Minnesota wheat.
The company consumed about 100000
tons of coal last year, costing in the cars
at Duluth, 1925, at Fargo, $3.50. The ag
gregate cost for this item, with Fargo as
an average distance, was $4,000. The
gross revenue from Minnesota and Dakota
wheat, was $4,000, or the gross receipts
