Sarcasm Tinged with Truth
The Chicago News of the 18th
says:
The farmers of Tennessee, we are
glad to say, have found out the reasons
why the agricultural interests Of the
South are in 50 depressed a condition.
They have discovered in the first
place that the general crops are not
abundant there because the head OF
the Bureau of Agriculture in Wash.
ington is not a Cabinet officer. Mr..
LOring, the official in question, has
been Of this opinion long time, but
his native Massachusetts, modesty pre-
vented him from saying so Another
source Of their troubles is that the
cattle doctors are an insidious class Of
persons who prescribe worthless pills
and other compounds for cows whose
stomachs are out OF order, whose ap
petites have abandoned them and
whose spirits generally are depressed.
The Tennessee fam are firmly re.
solved that these imposters must 60.
The next great evil is the dogs. There
are entirely too many dogs 10 the
South, especially in Tennessee. They
want a first. class dog pound, or per,
mission TO shoot every dog on sight
All these are moderate demands and
should be granted at once. With Mr.
Loring in the Cabinet, a few honest
doctors and a dog pound, the South
will become an agricultural paradise,

MONDAYS MATINRE.
Large Haul of Disreputables Before the
Police Court Yesterday.

"A Large Haul of Disreputables Before the
Police Court Yesterday.
The Sunday haul of the police net was
very large, no less than score of queer
wretches managing to get into its meshes,
and, as usual the Monday matinee at the
police court was very lively. The hall was
crowded with nondescript gang of woe
begones, and how they did writhe, and
squirm and wriggle, to get out of the di-
lemmR.
Hizzoner was on deck betimes, and
the scales did some very smooth work. al
though it msst be confessed that in some
respects the sword of the doughty goddess
is in need of grinding Unfortunately
this process does not lie with the court
and therefore there is some danger of the
bright blade becoming rusty through mis-
use.
The case that excited the
most interest was that of
the state vs.. d. Bell, f. King aud
j. Scott, charged with rape on complaint
of one Anna Schulze. When the case was
called officer De Corsey, who was directed
by the mayor to take the woman in charge
and produce her in court theinext morning,
explained that he had taken her 10 the
Minnesota house on Rosabel street, and
that she had been taken away between the
hours of and o'clock q. m, also that
he had exerted himself to End her, and
that she had very suddenly eluded the eye
of the police. As there was no alternative
the case was dismissed

TRANSPORTATION NOTES.

The Northern Pacific General Manager.
Now that General Haupt has been put
out of the Northern Pacific, candidates for
the position of general manager are max
ing their appearance from all quarters.
They "bob up serenely" in all sorts of
shapes. It is fairly bewilde-iug to see
how ingenious men are in putting!their
names before the public. On Saturday
night dispatch came over the wires that
Robert Harris, of the Erie
road, was to be made general
manager of the Northern Pacific. Now
| the truth of the matter is that it never
entered the mind of man to conceive of
Robert Harris being called to that position;
and the curiosity of the matter is as to
who it was that suggested Mr.. Robert Har-
ris' name. Here is another from the Chi
cago Tribune:
Rumors were current yesterday that
Mr.. T. j. Potter, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Burlington, had been
offered The position of general manager of
the Northern Pacific, with large salary.
The Tribune is authorized to state by Mr..
Potter that there is no truth in that report,
and that he has no intention of leaving the
Burlington.
Now who was 1T that started that rumor
about Mr.. T. J. Potter? We know who de
MED it, and that Mr.. Potter wouldn't
take the position, but who was it
that did Mr.. Potter the injury
to suggest his name and thus
make it necessary for him to deny the
rumor? That's what is troubling the Amer
lean people. Now, for the benefit of all
those railroad men throughout the United
States who do not want this $4,000 posi-
ton, the GLOBE hereby announces that Mr..
Cakes will perform the duties of general
manager for some time to come, and that
the road before it enters into any further
contract to pay manager $4,000 per
year, will take every precaution to find one
that is competent to perform the duties de-
volving upon him. The managers of the
road have just got rid of narrow minded,
prejudiced, fussy old martinez, with no
qualifications whatever for the position,
and will not be caught again if they can
avoid it.

sci for the receiver of the Toledo, Cincin-
natl & st. Louis railroad.
Mr.. Fee, assistant manager of passenger
traffic on the Northern Pacific road, has re-
turned from business trip to San Francisco,
Portland, Helena and other points.
81. b. Windsor, of the Northern Pacific,
has just issued his monthly time table,
which is very valuable publication. Be
sides the time tables it gives the distances
from st. Paul to all points on the North
ern Pacific.
Superintendent of Traffic Muir, and As
sistant Superintendent of Freight Traffic
Hannaford, who have been in Chicago for
some days, attending a freight meeting,
left yesterday afternoon for Topeka, where
another effort will be made to fix up the
freight business.
The talk about the Northern Pa
cifc now is that there will be no appoint
ment at present of a general manager;
that Mr.. Cakes will perform the duties of
that position, remaining here most of the
time, at any rate, for the present; that
when he goes to New York, Muir, as super
intendent of traffic, and Mr.. Odell, as su-
perintendent of transportation, will run
the road. 1t will not be necessary, there
fore, for Mr.. Harris or any one else to get
up denial that he has been appointed
general manager.
The following land sales on the North
ern Pacific are reported for the past
month:

Mr.. Lee, in commenting upon the above
statement, remarked that the market house
was very large sized elephant that the
city had taken on its hands. The state
ments in the report were not very pleasant
to contemplate. In his judgment if
we could not make better
showing the building should be closed up.
Quite number of the members took a
shy at the statement and the building and
there was not man in the building that
had not "told you So" nor was there a man
in the building that did not know we'll
enough that there was no reason in the
world why more than 81 Ills 10 should not
have been collected, besides the amount
received for the sale of stalls.
Mr.. Castle stated that the hall
had been rented he felt confident
for 100 nights. What they charged
for the hall he did not know, but he did
know what he paid for it for the the use of
the Republican state convention one after
noon and evening, and that was SIS. If
everybody that used it was charged in that
proportion the receipts over and above the
sale of stalls ought to be good deal more
than Sl,llS.7O. There was good deal of
curiosity manifested to know what had
become OF ali the money that ought to
have been received in rentals for the hall.
The matter was finally referred to special
committee consisting of Noyes, Castle and
Berkey.
