1t must always be kept in mind that the end

sible moment the minimum charges for rail
transportation between the chief commercial
cities OF the Northern Mississippi valley, and
between them and the remotest rural dis
tricts. IL is the present generation that
wants TO see this accomplished. Time is fly

and persisted in. The water routes are the
only public highways in the hands of the peo-
pie to be used as competitive lever with
which TO raise the iron horse from his lofty
and high-priced pedestal TO a lower plane.
The Northwest wants prosperity now, and
sees il only in minimum rail and water rates

What TO the railway companies now may
seem TO be insurmOuntable barriers, will dis
appear when from their wealth of resources
they are compelled to call more money and

HELEN HUNT JACKSON.

BY the death of Mrs. HELEN HUNT
JACKSON the literature of this country suf-
fers severe loss, for she certainly wrote
some of the brightest and freshest articles
that have appeared in American magazines
Mrs. JACKSON was Miss FIsKE, and
was the daughter of a professor in Amherst
college. She married a Mr.. HUNT,
who distinguished himself in the civil war,
and who died just before its close. She re-
manned widow for seventeen or eighteen
years and then married Mr.. WILLIAM II.
JACKSON, banker of Colorado. Mrs.
JACKSON went to California several months
ago TO write a series of articles for the Gen.
fury magazine on the old Spanish missions
out there. A few weeks ago she fell
and broke her knee, and her constitution
being already impaired by her constant lit
erary work, she was not able TO
resist the shock of the accident,
and died from II. Mrs. JACKSON
wrote for a number OF wears over
her initials. "H. H." and made these
two letters as popular as any in the alpha
bet. Verses by Ii. II. was one of the first
books she published, which attracted not only
the attention of her own country people,
but the best critics on the other.side of the
water. She was the author of The SAKE
Holme Papers, which appeared in Scribner
several years ago, but, as she gave no con-
Germ about claiming their authorship, other
claimants for the honor appeared. Her first
acknowledged novel was Pomona She
wrote book on the Indian problem which
was published by the Harpers, called \
Century of Dishonor. The book attracted
great deal of attention, though the subject
was not particularly popular one. She was
appointed special Indian agent by Pres
ident ARTHUR, and, in this capacity, visited
the Indian settlements all through the West
She did not work because she had TO, b ut
because she loved to. Her husband is
wealthy and it would have pleased him if
she had done nothing but enjoy herself at
her beautiful home at Colorado Springs
But she believed it was every ones duty to
do all that could be done 10 ameliorate the
condition of others. She was an enthusi-
asst and worked as hard for the cause of
suffering humanity as if she had TO do so
for living. One great charm of hers was
her interest in young women of literary
ambitions. She was always ready TO help
them by words and deeds. She was a
woman of rare intellectual brilliancy. and
her place in American literature will not be
easily filed

and agreed To remain firm for eleven hours
a day or not start their mills Two million
feet Of logs belonging to the mills here
were contracted to be sawed in Saginaw to-

Several mills expect to start tomorrow.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 17.-The publicity of
the order to-day commanding a strike to-
morrow by all Knights of Labor EMPLOYED
on the Wabash railroad seems to have been
premature, but the general execu-
tive committee late tonight acknowl-
edges the authority of the order and said
the strike will surely take place tomorrow.
The order has been sent to Fort Wayne,
Andrews and Peru, Ind, Decatur and
Springfield, ILL.,, Moberly and Stanberry,
Mo-, Toledo, o., Council Bluffs, Ia, and
st. Louis. The committee claims
to have the shops at the above
named places sure, and claims to have
the yard and train men, but is
in great doubt about the engineers and fire
men. They admit that the movement is an
experiment, but express confidence in being
able to practically suspend the operations
of the road. The general committee
will remain in this city and conduct
the strike from this point There are vari-
Gus rumOrs and statements to the effect that
the men on the Missouri Pacific system will
join in the movement. but these are denied
by the committee and others, who say the
Wabash alone is involved.

TIE OHIO IDEA.

The Democrats of Cleveland met in con-
vention the other day and are reported to
have had a high old time over a resolution
which proposed TO indorse the administra-
ton. There was vigorous kick against il
by the gentlemen who hadn't seen the offices
yet. Cleveland is the home of Senator
PAYNE. who is the father-in-law of Secre-
tary WHITNEY, and il was expected the
administration would get hearty and un-
equivocal Endorsement in that section. AS
there is also something I'm a name, it was
still furthermore expected that the Demo
Gratis of the city which bore the name Of the
president would feel some pride in standing
close up TO the administration. But al
these considerations failed. As much as
the Cleveland Democracy loved Senator
PAYNE they loved the old-fashioned prin-
cipleS Of Hickory Democracy more. Sem
ator PAYNE is an old ANDY JACKSON
Democrat himself, and he couldn't very
well go back on the principles he had been
teaching his people for half century. So
the original resolutions were kicked out
and, after adopting one declaring for the
offices and the old flag. resolution of in
dorsement couched i'm very mild language
was passed The Ohio people know the
value Of an Office, and, whether Republican
or Democrat an Ohio man is going to stand
up for the Office when his time comes.

BUTLER,s REAPPEARANCE.

The Massachusetts Democrats now have a
chance TO test their loyalty to the admins
tration. The appearance Of Gen. BUTLER
at their coming state convention as q dele
gate seeking admission will give the Dem
ocrats OF the state an opportunity 10 say
whether they love Mr.. CLEVELAND for the
enemies he has made or not. The read
mission of BUTLER TO the party would be a
downright insult TO the administration.
There is no doubt but that objections to his
admission will be outspoken. BUTLER Is a
traitor to the Democratic party, who as yet
has shown no signs of repentance. He
seeks admission to the Democratic party
only that he may carry into execution fresh
schemes of mischief. The arch demagogue
of the century should be permitted to enjoy
himself in solitude

The belief so perSistently pressed by the
Western Union people that the Baltimore
81 Ohio Telegraph company was about to
be absorbed, lacks continuation in the APP
peaTance of a little book which has reached
our table and which is possibly the most
unique, as it is beyond all comparison the
most artistic publication ever is
sued by a corporation. The Electric
b. & o." is the title of the little
artistic gem, which contains much valuable
telegraph literature, and which ranks
among the finest productions of water-color
printing, being the first successful repro
duchOn of water-color effects on other than
Autograph press. The book is the
who is the king of advertising
agents. Mr.. PANGBoRN IS the author
of the numerous advertising books put forth
by the b. IL o. Railway company, and
which are the finest specimens of adyertis-
ing ever done by any corporation. Mr..
PANGBoRN has developed peculiar genius
as an advertising artist, and is IA
nous the world over for the artistic
work he has done for the B. d
o. company. The Electric b. q o."
is the cap-sheaf Of his genius. The general

MIR. HENDRICKS does not believe that any
conspiracy against the administration exists
in the Democratic party. As for himself,
while he does not agree with the president in
everything, and particularly with reference
10 construction OF the civil service law, still
the differences are not such as TO disturb the
harmony of the party TO which both belong.
Mr.. CLEVELAND is an independent sort of

Can an Indian Hold officer
Special to the Globe.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 17.-An In
dian Territory special says: A question of
eligibility has been raised in the case of
Robert l.. Owen, recently appointed agent
for the tive tribes of civilized Indians. The
agent is located as Muscogee, and the posi-
ton is the best of the Indian agencies. At
torney General Garland decided some time
since that an Indian was not a citizen of
the United States and therefore could not
hold postoffice in the Indian country. 1t
appears that Owen is Cherokee, and it is
held that Garland's decision renders his ap-
pointment nugatory. The action taken by
the government on the matter will be
awaited with interest by the Indians and
applicants elsewhere who wanted the ap-
pointment.

Now that he has disappointed them they
