trict court yesterday by Samuel Judd and
Lane X. Stone against E. T. Ski dmore, C.
N. Dittman and others, to enforce the de-
PENDANTS to comply with the conditions of
a contract concerning the transfer of real

PENDANTS represented that they owned in
fee simple certain lots in block No. 4, st.
Paul proper; that prior to this time de-
fendant Skidmore entered into an agree
ment to convey said property to defend
ant Dittman for consid-
Grafton of $4,000 and that
DIttman transferred Ehis contract to the
plaintiff, Lane K. Stone; that it has since
been learned that the title to the property
is subject to clouds and defects, and that
defendant Skidmore has not complied with
the terms or the contract and that he re-
fuses to keep his agreement. Plaintiffs
ask that the contract be adjudged valid
and for such other relief as may be de-
termined upon by the court.

Through Pacific Coast Business via the
Northern Pacific.
TChicago Tribune, 16th.I

Chicago Tribune, 10Th.
A circular from Commissioner Fink re-
ceiVed here yesterday announces that the
standing committee of the joint executive
committee at meeting held in New York
August acted upon the following mat
ters:
The committee considered the applica-
tion of the Northern Pacific railroad,
made through John Muir, superintendent
of traffic, that upon the opening of that
road for through traffic, on or about Sep
tember 8, 1888, the roads east of Chicago
accept the same rates and divisions of
rates on freight traffic to and from
points from Portland, Oregon, and
Lake Pend sd'Oreille, inclusive, as
are accepted on Pacific coast
traffic via the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific railroads. A letter from Commits
sioner Carman was read, stating that the
lines of the Northwestern Traffic associa-
tion would accept the same divisions
between Chicago or Milwaukee and st
Paul on through traffic via the Northern
Pacific railroad as are acce pied by the Iowa
Trunk Line association on California bust
ness via the Union and Central Pacific
roads.
1t was agreed that until further notice
the existing division east of Chicago on
Pacific coast business in both directions
will be accepted on shipments via the
Northern Pacific railroad.
The following action was taken in regard
to correction of bills of lading.
WHEREAS, 1t appears that some of the
lines have issued bills of lading at Western
points for east bound shipments of lumber
with the words "actual weight" inserted
therein, it is
RESOLVED, That such practices shall be
discontinued, and that the weights inserted
on all bills of lading shall be stated as
subject to correction.
The following amendment to rules pro-
viding for submission of audit sheets was
agreed to:
Resolred, That the practice of making
two audit sheets for the settlement of the
fast freight line accounts shall be discon-
tinued, and that hereafter, commencing
with the line meetings to be held in Au-
gust, all vouchers shall be covered by one
audit sheet, which audit sheet shall not
embrace any vouchers which have not been
approved by the commissioner, and that
fact must be certified to by the commits
sioner or his representative on the said
audit sheet before settlements thereon can
be made witt The line managers by any of

END OF THE TELEGR4PH STRIKE.

1-'D UT AHH 1kLEGhAPH strike.
The great strike of the telegraphists
was formally ended yesterday. The rep
resentative upon whose orders the strike
was made, notified the brotherhood yester-
day that every man must take care of him
self, and the rush for places was imme-
diate.
The strike has terminated as all dispas-
slonate persons supposed it would. When
body of men surrender their individuaIi
ty and declare themselves incompetent to
manage their own affairs, and invite some
outside person to dictate their actions.
nothing but ultimate failure awaits them.
There is not telegraph operator who
would not be indignant if told that he did
not know enough to select his food.
And still they have substantially allowed a
man in New York to dictate their food for
the past month. 1t is this ATTEMPTED
combination to force certain results which
has been broken and the sooner telegraph
operators and all others who seek employ
ment learn to act Independently for them
selves the better will be their financial
condition.
There were undoubtedly some matters
IN the request of the operators which were
just and.which should have been granted.
They undoubtedly would have secured
some concessions if they had acted for
themselves, but when they turned their
cause over to a committee of demagocues
1t was lost. The men who are the loudest
IN these combinations are, as rule,simpIy
seeking to feather their own nests. Tbev
will foist themselves into a position where
they can order strikes and call men awav
from employment, and at the same time
manage to assess the organization for
fat salary for themselves. It is like
the Fenian funds raised to free Ireland.
Thousands of deluded persons were bIed
IN order that few demagogues might be
supplied with means for riotous living.
The lesson which this strike teaches has
been previously repeated over and over
and over again but without effect. The
severity of this lesson ought to have salu-
tary results. 1t ought to learn men that
they are FREQ and individual citizens and
competent to manage their own affairs.
1t ought to make men cease to become
puppets and dance when somebody pulls
the string whether it is convenient or
otherwise.

To MR. DANA, the editor of the New
York Sun, has been attributed desire to
be candidate for President. This, how
ever, is not we'll founded, if he is taken at
his word. "Our candid advice TO every

running for the Presidency. 1t must tend
to distract the mind from higher medita-

AT the banquet given at Pullman to the
Rufus Hatch party, Mr.. Emory A. Storrs
responded to the toast ''Chicago." In
concluding his remarks the witty speaker
said that Chicago was now entitled to be
called a civilized city, for it had the

Eastern people were not aware of it. 1t
had gospel privileges, it had the Atlantic
Monthly, and it ate with fork. Chica-
go's position is now fixed.

3 per cent amounts to $66.44. 1t would
appear from their protest that if the state
should attempt to collect this latter tax
that the company is likely to stand a suit
at law to establish the validity of the states
