General Notes.

The Milwaukee g. st. Paul short-line train
which was advertised to leave the depot at
Minneapolis at IL AS o'clock at night for ST.
Paul to accommodate those who were attend
ing the opera at Minneapolis, left fifteen
minutes before time Wednesday evening and
half dozen or more st. Paul people were
compelled to take lodgings in Minneapolis for
the night. That they were wrathy against
the Milwaukee u st. Paul is not necessary to
state. Some even spoke of damages.
The general passenger agents of the st.
Louis east-bound lines met yesterday and
adopted a resolution. which abolishes the
bridge tolls on passenger traffic. Hitherto
East ST Louis has been the basing point, and
the st. Louis rate was made by adding the
bridge toll, which is Is cents on through bust
ness, but under the agreement of yesterday
st. Louis proper will be the central point,
and rates will be based according, which is
equivalent to reduction of rs cents on all
tickets to Eastern points.
Assistant General Manager Odell of the
Northern Pacific road returned yesterday
from Western trip. He reports everything
in good shape for winter weather. Along the
jamestown u Northern road snow-fence is
being built to enable the company, if posi-
BILE, to operate this branch all winter. The
shipment of commercial freight is quite
large and SwellS the earnings of the COM
pany.

last on account of ill-health, having fully re-

judge. His many friends in St. Paul will be
glad to know that he is again on deck.
In accordance with the new pooling agree
ment between the trunk lines, the New York,
West Shore s. Buffalo has discontinued thir-
teen of it's branch offices for the sale of tick
cts in this city, including all hotel offices, and
now has but seven ticket agencies in addi-
ton to the regular offices in the stations.
The superior court yesterday appointed

1T LOOKS WELL.

The news from Pittsburg of an advance
of 81 per ton on pig metal and so cents on
ore within twenty-tour hours is an encour-
aging sign of revival of business prosper
ity. The iron industry is the straw which
shows how the wind is blowing in the bust
ness world. When the iron business is
prosperous everything else prospers. When
iron is dull business is slow. Iron doesn't
control the markets. 1t doesn't make and
unmake business. 1t simply moves with
the tide, and in this sense is an infallible
index to the way the tide is going. An adj
vance of 81 in twenty-four hours is posi-
tive indication that the tide is rising rapidly.

CHICAGO GARROTERs.

Chicago is normally sensational. AS
Paul said of the people OF Athens the Chi
cagoans are continually in search of some
new thing. But it is overlapping itself in
the matter of skillful garroting. When the
wives and daughters of prominent citizens
are knocked down on the public streets in
daylight and robbed-not once or twice, but
in numerous instances and almost of daily
occurrence-it is about time that Chicago
was assuming at least sufficient conservatism
to organize police force capable of catch
ing the thieves. 1t is very bad record for
a city when it is not safe for ladies to walk
the street in broad daylight.

wisely conclude that as long as the terri
tory is under control of the general govern
ment it is folly for them to discuss schemes
which they have no power to enforce. We
think, however. that our Webster CORE
spondent is mistaken in his opinion that the
territory will fare no better under Demo-
cratic administration than it did under sue
cessive Republican administrations. Judg-
ing from the present outlook Dakota is go
ing to fare pretty well under the present
administration. And when Dakota takes
its place in the rank of the sisterhood OF
states. as it will do unless a Republican
senate interposes to prevent, the people of
the territory will have no one to blame but
themselves if they don't continue to fare

BosroN, Dec. "a meeting Of the di-
rectors of the Mexican Central railroad was
held in this city yesterday. They appointed
Mr.. George F. Meyer. who is chief clerk of
the auditors department of the Union Paci-
fic road at Omaha, auditor of the road in
Mexico, to succeed Mr.. A. Nichols, resigned.

Organizing Against the knights.

Special to the Globe.
Boston, Dec. 3.-An important move
against the fast-growing order of the
Knights of Labor was made by New Eng
land boot and shoe manufacturers yester-
day. In response to circular about $50 Of
them met at the rooms of the New England
Shoe and Leather association to discuss the
various strikes which are now in progress
throughout the New England cities, partic-
ularly the Brockton strike and the action of
the famous 40, but incidentally to talk over
the strikes which are in progress in the
shops of Gilman Bros. and Keene Bros in
Lynn, the shops of Gilman Bros. in Maine,
and one or two strikes in Haverhill, Marble
head and all around the circle, wherever
soles and uppers are made. The confer
ence was strictly for manufacturers only
and all others were excluded, even promi-
nent shoe dealers being refused
admission. The meeting was called
to order by Mr.. Francis sW.
Breed of Lynn. After speeches by
many gentlemen an organization was
formed under the name of the New England
Boot and Shoe Manufacturers association,
and officers were elected. The object of
the association is to continue the various
small local organizations into a larger one,
which may in time assume national or per-
haps International proportions, and thus be
enabled to successfully cope with the
knights of Labor. There seemed. how
| ever. to be some objections to the formation
of such an association because some of the
gentlemen present seemed doubtful of the
feasibility. Despite such objections, how
ever, the association was formed and ad-
journed to meet again at an early date.

A COINCIDENCE.

Now that MI. THEODORE ROOSEVELT
has returned from his Mugwumpian exile
he is entertaining his Eastern friends with
lectures on the Wild West. Although Mr..
ROOSEVELT has renowned his Mugwump-
cry he still retains that poetic sentiment
which made him the darling of the plains.
In his lecture on The West as Seen on My
Ranch he speaks of the strange, melodious
voice of the elk, which he says he prefers
to the best efforts of the French horns.
That is just what the elks of the Wild West
are saying of TEDDIE.

Farmers o pinion ON the Decision.

To the Editor of the Globe:
WACoNIA, Mimi, Dec. g. Permit a
farmer and land owner to express his opin-
ions on the recent decision of the supreme
court and Gov. Hubbard's refusal to call an
extra session of the legislature to give us
an opportunity to remedy this Ubiquitous
law that allows the land shark to rob man
of his small home and the hard earnings Of
years.
[ think such law blot upon our civili-
cation and bar to the prosperity of our
young state. The decision itself may be in
accordance with the spirit of the law, and,
if so, land owners will realize the uncer-
tainty upon which mans title to his home
may rest and urge upon our lawmakers the
necessity of amending the statutes so as to
protect property owners. Too long have
our laws been framed to suit the land shark
and the usurer. These cormorants have in
tested our legislative halls and have helped
to frame laws to rob people of their birth
right. We even know of an honorable ras-
cal in an outside county who tried at the
last session to have the tax law so amended
as to give these vampires greater power
than they now have. The people should
grown rich from their legalized
robbery and relegate them to the shades of
private life at our next election. The law
is founded on robbery and spoilation and
will work untold hardships upon thousands.
1t means confscation and eviction. sup
posed we would have an extra session,
but Gov. Hubbard said no. In doing this I
think he made serious mistake. This one
matter alone is of sufficient moment to de-
mand legislative action. Let oui laws be so
amended that no injustice be worked to the
land owner or any one else.
These are my sentiments, and [ hope ev-
cry land owner will agitate this matter I'M
til land sharks will have no chance to con-
time their robbery further FARMER

Northern Pacific Earnings.

An increase was again shown in the carn-
ings of the Northern Pacific company-an
increase which surpassed all expectations.
While the passenger earnings showed a
small decrease, the increase on commercial
freight was enormous. There was falling
off in construction transportation. 1t is not
likely that the net earnings for the month
will be any larger than the increase in gross
earnings, While the road has been oper-
ated more economically this year than last.
the increased business for last month would
make increased expenses, and it is thought
the net earnings and gross earnings for the
month of November in 1886 and 1884 will
be about even. The showing is as follows:
