A PLEASANT FICTION EXPOSED

A PLEASANT FICTION EXPOSED.
A few days ago under directions of
Secretary MANNING count of the money
in the treasury vault at Washington was
commenced. One of the sights that Wis
itors to Washington are greeted with is
peep at the $50, 600, 900 reserve kept
in this vault Besides this there are several
cart loads of gold, silver and greenbacks.
People who have been admitted to the vault
have therefore seen more money
or its equivalent at one glance
than it is possible to see at any
other place in this country, excepting the
New York sub-treasury. 1t is also well
known that NEARLY all young married couples
in their bridal tour aim to visit the national
capital. 1t has long been custom at the
vault to hand each bride who entered it
package containing SIS, 900, 900. They were
allowed to hold it for a second. 1t was then
carefully taken from them and put away.
1t has also been understood by the knowing
ones that the presentation of this SIS, 000,-
600 package as the immense bridal portion
temporarily of so many brides was only a
pleasant fiction and that the package did
not contain much money; but it was never
ascertained exactly what was in the pack
age until the other day. When the count of
the reserve fund in the treasury vault was
commenced it was opened and it was found
that this SIS, 600, 600 package which had been
so fondly handled, and over which so many
endearing words had been said, was a huge
joke, containing three or four heavy old
government documents, such as would sell
in junk shop for 2 cents a pound. The
package weighed fifty pounds and as old
paper it would. bring 81. The pack
age was carefully tied up and laid
away to continue to make brides happy. 1t
will suit them just as well as if it contained
real money.

PEOPLE who love diamonds will be glad to
learn that there is steady decline in the
price of the jewel. The London Times says
the price has fallen from SIS to 1915 per
karat. Of old the world received each year
new diamonds of $250,000 in value on the
average. But suddenly from South Africa
comes a new supply, exceeding $20,000,000
worth each year for ten years. 1t is true that
recently in Australia, North America and
other extra European centers of European
civilization new population has come into be-
ing, numbering 70, 900, 900, the upper ten thous-
and of which are especially prone to diamond
ornaments, and no doubt at the first there was
great void to be supplied. But now the
limit has been reached, and the world, thus
supplied, seems hardly likely to take more than
$4,000, 900 per annum.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mr.. Gladstone is reported to have been
captured by Ignatius Donnelly's Shakes
pearean cipher. Perhaps he hopes that
Donnelly will discover a cipher in the
passages relating to Englands greatness
which will give new and unsupported mean
ing to them. If it was discovered that these
examples of literature were written to cover
up the assertion that sFrancis Bacon took
bribes'' or some other historical fact, it would
make them much more important than idle
vaporings about such distractions as national
glory.

miunesota a. Northwestern.

The first train into West st. Paul arrived
yesterday afternoon over the Minnesota &
Northwestern railway. 1t was construc-
tion train of four freight cars. The track
will be completed to the river this after
noon at o'clock and the construction crew
will return to Cascade and begin work on
the other end of the line. The telegraph
line will be completed from Cascade to st.
Paul by Friday night, and likely by Satur-
day OF Monday wires will be run into the
general Office of the company in the Ger
American bank building, corner Fourth
and Robert streets, and an operator set to
work. The first accident on this new line
has already occurred. Yesterday morning
Donald Grant, one of the contractors laying
track, was standing on the rear end OF a
car and when a coupling was being made
he was knocked from the car down the
bluff, breaking one of his legs. Mr.. Grant
is from Faribault.

A GOOD MOVE.

The effort now being made to secure the
annual session for 1886 of the national
convention of corrections and charities in
st. Paul is one in which all our citizens
should evince an interest. At the quarterly
meeting Of the state board of corrections
and charities held in the capitol May 5, DR..
DANA brought up the matter and an invita-
ton was written out by him and unani-
mously adopted. Gov. HUBBARD will sup
plement this invitation by an official one.
The chamber of commerce and board of
trade have also acted favorably, seconding
cordially the invitation of the state board.
Mayor O'BRIEN has promised to present the
matter to the common council at its meet
ing Thursday evening, asking that body to
concur. The convention in its personnel is
a notable one, numbering some two
hundred, who come at their own
expense, represent nearly every state
in the Union, and bring together the lead
ing philanthropists of the country and those
who have made the management of correc-
tional institutions and the criminal and de
pendent classes a study. The reports of
tlllS DOdy are aubnOflJaClV6 On all SUBJECTS
with which it has to do, and it's discussions
awaken great interest and attract wide pub
lie attention. 1t would be great advan-
tage to ST. Paul and the Northwest to Sc
cure this convention. All the officials con-
nected with our state institutions are very
eager to have this invitation presented in a
way to secure favorable consideration. A
large delegation has been appointed by the
governor to represent the state at the ap-
preaching convention to be held in Wash
ington, D. c., June 4, 1885. 1t is hoped
that the early and concurrent action of so
many public bodies here will lend force to
the invitation and secure on the part of the
convention it's prompt and cordial accept
ance.

News That May Cause a Delay.

u
Information was received in ST. Paul yes
terday to the effect that the West Shore, in
connection with one of the tripartite lines,
was making Is cent rate on grain from
Mississippi river points to New York, the
same as is now charged from Chicago. 1t
is also charged that they are taking fertil-
izers. which is class higher than grain, at
the same rate. The rate of Is cents on the
last named article is a cut OF IA cents per
100 pounds. The Wabash line, via the
Chicago & Atlantic, is taking large
amount of business from Chicago, and it is
claimed that rate of 121a cents is made to
New York. The Wabash has emphatically
refused to put it's business into any pool
and this line is the one the
blame is aimed at. The West
Shore, it is stated, is equally determined to
join no combination for the maintenance OF
rates, and the managers OF the Western
trunk lines. it was supposed yesterday,
would find it difficult task to make any
arrangement for the restoration OF east
bound rates. No hopes were entertained
by local officials that the central traffic pool
can be carried out. The Eastern trunk
lines do not lock favorably upon the pro-
posed combination Of the Western roads
and insist that the Eastern roads continue
to carry out the old joint-executive-c
tee contract until abandoned by mutual &C
ton between the trunk lines and their
Western connections. So long as the East
ern roads continue to fight, no arrangement
that the Western roads may make can pos
sibly secure the restoration and mainten-
ance OF rates.

The Union Pacific Incapable.

1t is stated secretly that conclusion has
been about reached at New York that the
Union Pacific cannot legally be a party to
the lease Of the Oregon Navigation road. If
the Union Pacific is debarred the Northern
Pacific could still make the lease and after
ward traffic agreement with the Union
Pacific. The negotiations for the lease are
still going ON though, and it is expected that
the Northern Pacific directors will get re-
port from it's committee this week. The
terms are not agreed upon yet, but there is
no real hitch except the Union Pacific's in
capacity. The Oregon Navigation wants
per cent. dividend, and ultimately per
cent; the other side wants to begin at per
cent. The Oregon Navigation will agree to
furnish 81, 600, 900 out of the rental to put
the road in good condition, but the leasing
roads want 1900, 900. The difference is so
slight that word of an agreement having
been reached is expected most any day.
The lease will not be made in hurry, how
ever, and the stockholders of the Northern
Pacific road will have to ratify it after
thirty dayS' notice.

CHICAGO, May 1s.-The general man
ayers Of the Western connection of Eastern
trunk lines, constituting the Central Traffic
association began a session here this fore
noon. The attendance is not as large as at
the first session, when an agreement was
made to maintain freight rates on a basis of
30 cents on grain from Chicago to New
York Since then there has been an open
cutting of rates, it having been charged that
rate of Is cents was made for
a huge consignment of grain here yester-
cay. The meeting here to-day resulted in
the exchange of denominations, and it is
hardly thought that a restoration of rates
can result from the present meeting, as a
number of roads were not represented. A
proposition was presented to refer rates to
committee of eighteen, and the PROPOSE
ton has been discussed at some length.
