G. I. Kittredge has been appointed train
dispatcher of the Chicago division of the
Milwaukee 81 ST. Paul road.
4 E. W. Austin has been appointed joint
ticket agent for the Manitoba, Northern Pa
cific and st. Paul & Duluth roads at No. 10
Nicollet block, Minneapolis.
Two hundred and eighty cars of cattle
were shipped from the Transfer and 40
from North Yakima yesterday by the
Northern Pacific rpad, billed to points in
Montana.
For the meeting of the Patriarchal Circle
of the United States to be held in Minneap-
oils in July, the Milwaukee u ST. Paul has
arranged with the committee on tranSpOrta-
ton for a round trip rate from Milwaukee
ofo$IO.
One of the reasons for the delay in leas-
ing the Oregon Navigation road is said to
be that the Northern Pacific company is in
vestigating the right of the Union Pacific
to make a joint lease, fearing that the
whole guarantee might fall on the North
ern Pacific.
A report is current that the Chicago &
Evanston railway, with all it's franchise,
has been turned over and sold within the
past few days to the Milwaukee & ST.
Paul road. The report is denied by the
latter company, though it is believed when
the new road is completed the Milwaukee
& ST. Paul will take it.
There is no agreement that the granger
Western roads can enter into that will hold
water any more than those which the East
ern trunk lines have finally become tired of
making. There are too many roads in the
Northwest and they will have to go through
the same liquidation as the Eastern lines.
The best of information is that there will
be short crop this year, and, if so, the liq-
uidation will be extremely rapid.

Labor atgThat Point in a Depressed
Condition..
The following circular is published at the
request of the st. Paul Trades and Labor
assembly:
Whereas, it has been reported throughout
the state of Iowa that work in all branches of
industry in Des Moines is good, and that the
supply of mechanics is not equal to the de-
mands, committee Of one from each of the
various unions has been appointed to refute
these statements and give correct report Of
the existing state of trade.
The printing trade is overStocked and MANY
f1rst-class mechanics are idle en- account of
there not being sufficient work to keep those
in employment who are residents of the CITY,
Cigar makers, steer clear of Des Moines, as
work is scarce, and many cigar makers are
going from shop to shop looking for work
and finding none. You will be disappointed
if you come here for job.
There is not one brick mason in ten at
work, and the prospects are that work will be
very scarce all summer. One man reported
fifty masons at his job in one day looking for
work.
Merchant tailors report business very good,
but plenty of mechanics to do the work. and
could spare some tailors If necessary.
Carpenter work is greatly overdone, and
large majority of the mechanics of the city
are idle; none but the very best are at work
and they are mostly union men, while others
are Offering to work at reduced wages.
Shoveiers, teamsters and all classes of day
laborers are warned to stay away from this
city, as there are ten men to one job.
The above circular was issued by the
Central Trades and Labor assembly of
Des MONIES and vicinity, with the seal
thereof attached, and is correct in every
respect.

Lincoln Disappointed.

Washington Correspondence New York Times.
Among the crowd on the streets on inaug-
uration eve good many queer things might
have been jotted down. Asa White, who
was in the interior department from the
time Tom Ewing the elder became the first
secretary there, remarked to some office
seekers:
''Never mind, gentlemen, I have seen
Abraham Lincoln just as anxious as YOU"
'sHow is that?" asked one.
''Why, when the interior department was
created the new secretary had the disposal
of the land office and Abraham Lincoln
came to me and filed his papers. That was
back in 1S4S. His opponent was another
Illinois man named Butterfeld. Butter
field was lawyer who had defended the
prophet, Joe Smith, on charge of murder.
He and Lincoln were pretty jealous q each
other. They went through all the forms of
soliciting friends to sign the applications
and watched their chances nervously, but
Burterfield got away with Lincoln. Lin
coin was very much excited over his fail
IRE, and when he came to the office the last
time and asked for his Endorsements, he
claimed that nearly all his valuable papers
had been stolen. He said that his oppo-
nent's friends had committed larceny, and
therefore stolen a march on him.

MINNEAPOLIS LABOR NEWS.
The Engineers, inspection.

An interview with an alleged prominent
bOilermaker'' which appeared in Wednes-
days Tribune defends Gov. Hubbards APP
pointment of J. D. Cushing as one of the
state boiler inspectors, and states that Mr.
Gushing is ''good man, Woodworking and
industrious, who has been in the city for
the past fifteen years. All of these years
he has spent in boiler works and other places
where he has gained all the knowledge that
his present position requires"
The interview was evidently for the
purpose of destroying the effect of the reso-
lutions passed by the boilermakers of this
city condemning the governors action
From what is said of Mr. Cushing
it does not appear at all likely
that he has spent fifteen years
in boiler shops. but that cuts no figure He
is not a boilermaker. A man can work in
the shop or run engines for lifetime, and
still not possess the qualifications for a
boiler inspector. Boilermaking is trade
by itself, and machinest is as little quail
fed to pass upon the work of boilermakers
as the latter have upon his work. A man
may be good carpenter, handwriting
and Industrious, and may live in the city
fifteen years, but he may not be good
UIIuSG UuuucI VI dICHlttCt. u Q0ullSG WHO
is well versed in knowledge pertaining to
one branch of human anatomy may not be
just the person to go to for medical advice
in case of cholera morbus. The boiler
makers are right. One of the three inspect
ors at least should be a man who under
stands the work thoroughly. The matter is
one of public importance outside OF
the boilermakers... If some portion of the
machinery of an engine gives way serious
results do not necessarily follow. But in
case of a boiler explosion the consequences
are generally fatal. Thousands of lives
have been lost through the incompetency,
rather than the industry" of boiler in
spectors, and it is about time that some
little attention should be paid to the quail
fcations of the men who are appointed to
carry out the laws made purposely to pro-
tect the public from the very faults which
they are in many instances unable to de-
tect through ignorance and lack of ex-
perience,

The protest of the trades assembly to the
city council against the licensing of news
boys and bOOtblacES does not seem to be I'M
derstood by the daily press any better than
the Trades assembly. The object of the
resolution was to throw their influence
against any system of taxation on labor.
Compelling people of this class to pay a Ii
cense for the privilege of earning their own
living is an unnecessary hardship upon a
great many of them, and is of no advantage
to them in the sale of papers or shining
that can be seen as yet. While the appli-
cation of the fund to be thus raised is a
laudable one, that of establishing home
for them, yet there are many who are in
whole or in part supporting families and
are living at home, and it is unjust to COM
pei them to pay part of their small earn
ingS to support others who are less fortu-
nate, while there are hundreds of thousands
OF dollars belonging to the wealthy class
that is not taxed at all. There is GER
tainly no intelligent person who will
claim that such home. though it
were conducted upon the most improved
plan and under the strictest Christian in
tiuence, would be better than the home in
fluence of parents who have greater in
terest in the welfare of these little ones
than strangers possibly can have.
If revenue must be raised for charity,s
sake let it come from those who have
wealth and are living in luxury, instead of
from those who, by being upon the streets
early and late and through rain and shine,
are barely able to exc out scanty sub
sistence. The Trades assembly have done
well in entering their protest, and were the
city council to heed it and repeal the ordi-
nance, they would receive credit for being
more foresighted than city fathers usually
are.

CHICAGO, May "a gain of 26, 900 tons
in east-bound freight traffic is a rather not
able advance, and although not much OF a
surprise, still exceeds the amount believed
would be secured through the cut in rates.
1t was expected that there would be an adj
vantage taken on a rate that
virtually left no profit to the
roads, but as lake navigation
was near at hand there was no particular
reason for rush. The increase was made
almost wholly on grain, and the percentages
have shifted around considerably, the strong
roads getting their share as, soon as they
met the Pennsylvania cut. The Chicago %
Atlantic in actual competition loses nearly
10 per cent, the combined Pennsylvania
lines fall off about IA per cent,
while the Lake Shore FORCES ahead
s per cent. and the Michigan Central in
creases some IL per cent. The rate during
the week has nominally stood at Is cents on
grain and 20 cents ON provision, but On the
latter it has fallen off TO III, and the Is
cent mark has not been unalterably adhered
to. Agents agree that the past week shows
a better record than will the coming one, as
the roads now have the lakes rates and open
navigation to contend against.

Word was received in st. Paul yesterday
stating that provisions have been cut from
Chicago to the seaboard to 1719c rate,
but as yet only in small lots, not enough to
disturb the equilibrium of the market. The
market is declining and shippers
are not eager to make any
large contracts. There, is an uncertainty
about grain rates, although an effort is be-
ing made to keep them up to the recent
standard These reductions in rates are ac-
countable to the low rates that vesselmen
made contracts at last season to Buffalo
from Chicago, and until these contracts are
made void by expiration of limitation, rates
by rail will rule low to compete with lake
rates.

St. Paul Notes.

Printers report nearly everybody at work.
The season has hardly opened in St. Paul
for bricklayers, and but few of them are at
work.
Plasterers and carpenters are well at work,
although there is no lack of hands to fill
all demands.
Assembly No. 1893, Knights of Labor,
is booming. Thirty members were initiated
at its last meeting.
St. Paul stovemakers are suffering from
the effects Of recent cut in wages. They
hope to have the old rates resumed soon.
The Trades and Labor assembly held its
regular meeting last Friday evening, at
which there was full attendance. There
was vast amount Of felicitation over the
result Of the recent election and it's tri-
umphant issue, and the campaign was fully
discussed.

Cooperative Land Association.

The Workingmen's Cooperative Land
association seems to be rapidly taking form,
and promises to be success. The Knights
of Labor are taking hold of the matter and
several thousand dollars are already sub
scribed, and by good men, who are thor
oughly qualified to lead the enterprise
through to successful issue. The plan is
to purchase land by the sale of shares and
place sufficient number of families upon
it to make it profitable to both themselves
and the shareholders, giving them the ben
eft of schools, churches and society, and
rendering them such assistance as will
place them above the reach of want, incon-
venience and privations usually pertaining
to the Individual frontier life. This plan, if
carried out upon large scale, will furnish
an opening for clearing the towns and cities
of large amount of idle labor that is now
standing menace to fair wages and steady
employment. The shares are placed at $40
each, bringing the object almost within the
reach of almost anyone DESTROYS OF taking
part in this enterprise.

Passenger Business.

Last weeks travel outshone anything
this season so far. Nearly every day one
or the other of the Eastern roads would
bring in special car load or two, and the
union depot all the week was in hum and
whirl. The plan and model of the new
building is now having chance to show
its advantages over the old in
the way of accommodations. Though
no larger, the Encouragement of
apartments affords room for handling about
double the amount of business that could
be done in the old building. Among the
arrivals are great many Canadians from
Ontario and Quebec bound for Manitoba to
settle, though the number falls into insig-
nifcance when compared with the number
going to Northern Minnesota and Western
Dakota
