The Pioneer Press was guilty yesterday OF
perpetrating another humbug upon the peo-
pie of st. Paul. Some days ago, Mr.. Cakes,
vice president of the Northern Pacific road,
and Col. Lamborn, land commissioner of the
same, went out together on a business trip
which took them over the Union Pacific road.
Straightway that falsifying paper, when these
two gentlemen reach Kansas City, goes to
work and fabricates bogus dispatch which
reads as follows:
KANSAS CITY-Special Telegram-Aug H.
t. +. Cakes, vice president and general man.
ager OF the Northern Pacific road, has just made
tour of inspection over the Union Pacific sys-
tenn, and 1t is understood that he is to be the
general manager of the Union Pacific, under
Charles Francis Adams, the new president.
The above is clean, bare-faced, unques-
tionable fraud upon the public. 1t is not a
fact that sit is understood" that Mr. Cakes
is to be the general manager of the Union
Pacific 1t never was SO understood in st.
Paul, Kansas City, or in any other part of the
habitable globe. 1t is down right falsehood,
and, as Mr.. Cakes said, ''made out of whole
| CLOTH" The dispatch was fabricated in the
Press office and published to humbug people
with. After Mr.. Cakes got home. Sunday
evening, to back up this bogus dispatch,
they sent man up to the Metropolitan hotel
to get something from him. 1t mattered not
to that mendacious sheet whether Mr.. Cakes
| affirmed or denied the contents of the pre-
tended dispatch. The bogus dispatch had
been prepared, the fraud perpetrated, and
humbug as it was, without any foundation
whatever, anything that Mr.. Cakes could OF
would say, in their estimation, would help
the fraud along. The following is the ac-
count that classifying sheet gives of the in
terview:
''For several days gossip in st. Paul has aver
red that Mr.. Cakes was to be general manager OF
the Kansas Pacific, and that Col Lamborn was to
accompany him to the southwest and resume his
old position with the Kansas Pacific. This rurnor,
coupled with the above special, and the vague
belief widely entertained that Mr.. Cakes con-
templates the possibility of change of official
relations, led to call upon that gentleman at the
Metropolitan at o'clock Monday morning. Mr..
Cakes reply was simple and to the point. He
wrote it thus: ''There is no foundation whatever
for the reports. They are made out of whole
CLOTH
1t is not true that for several days gossip
has aVerred that Mr.. Cakes was to be gen
eral manager of the Kansas Pacific, or any
other road, or that he was to sever his con-
connection with the Northern Pacific. The
Pioneer Press cannot mention one single in
dividual In the city of st. Paul that has ever
made such statement, even by way of Cos
sip. If Deacon Driscoll does not stop this
lying the House of Hope ought to church him
and get rid of the unclean thing. Preten-
sions of piety in connection with such plain
lying is downright hypocrisy, and shows
that Mr.. Driscoll is not as pious
as he pretends to be, and that as professor
of religion he is fraud. 1t reminds US of
what Mr.. J. ]. Hill, president of the st. Paul
q Manitoba road says of the classifying sheet.
Mr.. Hill said,
young man put this down in your note book,
and bear it always in mind that the railroad news
| of the Pioneer Press cannot be depended upon at
all. 1t is always misleading, and all the man
ayers of that paper seem to desire is to get some
thing which hinges on the sensational
