MADELIA, Sept &c. 1884. The fair which

Financially it was very successful. There will
be plenty of funds to pay the premium list at

Decentralization in Freight Rates.
lspecial Telegram 10 the GIobe.l


CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-The Trunk line freight
pool is now in more distressing condition than at
any other time in its history. All efforts to
maintain anything approximating ? tariff has
been abandoned and every line is trying
to get all the business it can
at the highest rate offered The
prevailing grain rate to-day was IS cents per 100
pounds, Chicago to New York, and the rate on
provisions 20 cents. This Is cut in each class
of 10 cents. There were rumors that grain was
being placed at 1870, but the reports could not
be substantated. Everybody is looking for
an official reduction by Commissioner Fink,
and it is liable to be ordered at any moment. As
a result of the extensive cutting Of rates, ship
ments increased last week about 5000 tons. The
Chicago & Grand Trunk carried the highest ton
mage, and its officials account for
this by saying that they have not
cut rate during the week. Its
competitors, however, claim that the Grand
Trunk is cutting rates with as much vigor as
any other line and that its diversion Of tonnage
to even mp the past percentages accounts for the
light showing in the weekly report.

THE PUBLIC UNREST.

President-making seems to be leading
impulse among the American people. No
sooner is one President inaugurated, than
plans begin to be laid TO pave way for his de-
signated successor. The incumbent him
self, if it be his first term, begins to plan,
even in the selection of his cabinet, aud in
all other appointments to be his own success
or This was notably true in the case of Gar
field as with all his predecessors. He APP
pointed Blaine to the chief place in his cab
met, to remove him from possible antag-
onism in securing the succession to himself
Blaine, after his defeat in Chicago in 1880,
accepted place in the cabinet in full aban-
donment of all hopes of ever being Presi-
dent. He felt, as did Seward, when he
went into Lincoln's cabinet that the Presi-
dency had gone beyond his reach. But the
sudden death of Garfield in the early days of
his administration changed his Premier's
dreams in regard to the successor, and from
that day forth, James G. Blaine industrious
| ly plotted for the nomination which he final
! iy secured. Thus with the election of one
| President, the work of selecting and elect
ing another begins. 1t is but correct to say,
=
nest work, and vigorous plotting, and counter
plotting is going forward for the Presidential
succession. This is injurious TO the peace
full rest aud healthful quiet of society and
of business, and the vexing, demoralizing
turmoil of politics, keeps the people in
constant state of political unrest This is
not conducive to healthy tone Of puplic
sentiment in any direction, either politically,
morally, or socially. Demogogues ply their
trade and the unworthy ambitions, keep
waters of strife in wild commotion. "Give
us a rest" is the pleading cry of tired and
overstrained sensibilty.
But how is this desired rest to be attainedl
Vexing congressional elections come
every two years, state elections come
every two years, and local elections of
some kind almost every day in the year, so
the community breakfasts, dimes and sups
on politics, and dreams the dreams of excit-
ed political contests and awakes unrefreshed
to renew the strife, jaded and worn. These
things are inevitably deranging accessories
to an elective government, where the peo-
pie rule by their own inherent sovereignty.
But is there no remedy for these drawbacks
and disadvantages The only remedy that
can be found would seem to be in increasing
the term of Office. Make the presidential term
six or eight years, and let the incumbent be
Ineligible TO a future election. Let con-
| gressmen have term of four years as sena-
tors now have of six years, and the term Of
other offices duly and judiciously extended,
and this everlasting, unceasing din of poll
tics might have some cessation and health
full rest would come to a previously excited
people. Then let Demagogues and slippery
office seekers be relocated to back seats, let
offices seek the men, let the honest and the
capable the notwithstanding be alone select
ed for public station and compared with the
present state of things, political mile mum
will dawn upon the land.

Sketch of Carrie ]. Welton.

WATERBURY, Conn, Sept. 27.-Carrie J.
Welton, whose death from freezing while
descending Longs Peak, Colorado, is re-
ported in to-day's papers, was born in this
city in 1912, and resided here most of her
life. She was finely educated and brilliant
horsewoman, with propensity to do IN
common things and achieve a reputation for
courage and physical endurance. Her home
here, Rose Hill cottage, is the handsomest
residence in the city. At her fathers death
the house was left to her mother, and the
grounds to the daughter. Her father was
wealthy manufacturer, and was killed several
years ago by kick from horse. Miss We'll
ton had already this season assembled Pixies
Peak and had written ZONE within a month
OF her exploits performc cd and contemplated.
Her mother is on her way home from Europe.
The body will be brought here for interment
in the Riverside cemetery
LATER DEVELOPMENTS.
DENVER, Col 27.-Later information of the
death of Miss Carrie L. Welton, who persisted in
a snow storm while making the descent of Lon o
Peak, Tuesday night, is received. The opinion
has become general that Miss Welton was de-
serted by the guide, who did not return to the
rescue until the next morning. Mr.. Gilbert q
liveryman at Estes park says, obedient to Miss
Weltons order he drove over to the guide 8
house Wednesday morning to meet her on
her return from the summit and to drive her
back 70 the Estes park hotel On reaching the
guides house he was informed of Miss Welton' g
death, and told the father and son were on the
peak bringing the body down. The livery man
drove rapidly up the trail for five miles, where
ne met the men with the body, which was found
only mile further 1t was then ten in the
morning, six hours from the time the guide says
they found the body. Residents of the park
discredit the guides story, and charge him with
criminal cowardice, possibly responsible for the
lady q death. The coroner will investigate

An Outrage which should Be Remedied

An Outrage Which Should Be Remedied.
MooRHEAD, MIMI, Sept. 26.-Editor GLOBE:
Myself, as well great many other travelling
men, depend upon getting your daily paper on
the trains but of late it is almost impossible to
get one. The news boys always have plenty of
Republican papers, but they are too hard to d.
gest. 1 enjoy reading your paper very much,
and miss not having it. Where is the fault, and
can it be remedied? Yours very truly,
A. DEMocRAT.
The fault is with the newsmen who handle
the paper on the trains This is only one Of
numerous similar complaints which have reached
us ever since the GLOBE has been published, and
the unfair discrimination against the GLOBE on
the railroads has been a point which the GLOBE
has labored very zealously to remedy. 1t is
about time for the railroads to refuse contracts
to newsmen who will discriminate against the
demands and wishes of the pnblic as they do in
their treatment of the GLOBE. Ed. GLOBE.
