A BURLINGTON VOTE.
The Chicago Meeting of the Transconti-
mental to be the Most Interesting.
Snecial to the Globe

The Chicago Meeting of the TranscoXti-
mental to be the Most Interesting.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, March 25.-General Manager
Potter of the Burlington road has been asked
to represent the Central Pacific at meeting
of the Pacific Coast association to be held
here April ! and to vote for the admission of
the Sunset route to that association.
1t would appear that the Central does not
take the interest in the Transcontinental as
ISOLATION it did formally, or in other words it
does not care a continental what becomes
of the pool 1t appears that the
contract between the Pacific Mail
company and the Central and Union Pacific
will expire at the end of April, and the adj
mission of the '.Sunset" route to the pool
would add to the Central what the Pacific
Mail takes away. The Central Pacific is
owned by Huntington, Hopkins, Stanford
and the same people throughout
who own and control the Southern Pacific,
the Galveston Harrisburg q San Antonio,
and the Morgan line of Steamships from
New Orleans or Galveston to New York. The
two last mentioned constituted their
famous "Sunset'' route, and in connect
ion with their line of steamships they have a
long but still complete route from one sea-
board to the other. Of course it is of inter-
est to them to get freight sent by this line, as
in that case they get all the carry
ing to do, while by taking their
share of transcontinental business on
the Central Pacific they do only small part
of it. The monopolies they have enjoyed so
long is of serious injury to not only the Pa
cific railroads but to Chicago, st. Paul, Min
.neapolis, st. Louis and Omaha. In the event
of the Sunsets entrance into the pool
or, if the Pacific Mail means trouble, the
Northern Pacific road will either lose all its
through business originating in the East, or
it must join with the other transcontinental
lines in paying portion of the subsidies to
the Pacific Mail company The amount
that would likely be assessed the
Northern Pacific would be $4,000 per an
mum, small matter in comparison to the
damage that might be done in the event of a
cutting of through rates to $40 per ton that
might follow. In view of this state of affairs
the meeting at Chicago promises to be of
more than ordinary interest.

RESCUE THE pERIsHTNG.

Since the days of SAUL of Tarsus there has
not been more marvellous conversion than
that of Senator JOHN SHERMAN. He has be-
come convert under the rude eloquence of
VAN WICK. who has been proclaiming the
gospel of truth and fearless honesty to be-
nighted senator And now Mr. SHERMAN,
with the zeal which usually characterizes new
converts, proclaims his intention to return
to Ohio and preach the anti-monopoly doc
trine to his Buckeye constituents. During
all the years be has been in the senate and
at the head of the treasury department., mo-
nopoly has had no stauncher friend or
more jealous advocate than JOHN SHERMAN.
He has been monopolist of the straightest
sect. He never lost an opportunity to
breathe out threatenings against the humble
opponents of monopolistic power. He has
even gone so far as to leave his seat in the
senate, and, armed with letters from the
Sanhedrim of corporation senators, has
gone down to the rural Damascuses,
hailing men and voters and warning them
of the fearful consequences of backsliding
from the true monopoly church-the Repub-
lican party. But now strange light mas
shone about him and the scales have fallen
from his eyes. That old granger missionary
from Nebraska has carried conviction to the
heart of the chief sinner on the Republican
camp ground. We congratulate Mr.. SHER-
MAN on his conversion and, extending the
right hand of fellowship, will admit him to
the Democratic communion-but it must be
on probation We can't afford to take him
into full membership at the first jump. His
case is SO exceptional there must be proba-
tionary period before the country will be con-
WINGED of the genuineness OF his conversion
If he will hold out faithful for six months
after the next senatorial election in Ohio,
then Mr.. SHERMAN will be received as full
member into the anti-monopoly sanctuary, and
while his name is being enrolled on the reg
lister the whole congregation will stand up
and unite in singing those appropriate lines

UiV ProbnblY Ertend,

gentleman in the city from Hudson yes
terday stated that he had it on good authority
that the Omaha company would extend its
River Falls branch from River Falls via ELS
worth TO Red Wing, this or next season. He
says that the people Of Ellsworth have been
seeking after and Offering inducements in
different ways to have line enter their town,
and they now propose to give a bonus of
S., 900, with sufficient ground for depots and
side tracks. The land in that direction and
through to Red Wing is the very best, and
the traffic that would be received from the
two places would, it is claimed, be sufficient
in a year or two to cover all expenses in the
con struction Of this line. The lumber trade
from Saltwater and Lakeland to Red Wing
would be an important feature Of the bust
ness, as it could be RATED from the latter
place to southern points on the Mississippi.
The authority on this, who is in a position to
know, saws that the prospects for the line
being built are good, on account of the
trouble in lumber business and the strong
competition the Southwestern lines offer
from Chicago to the Omaha, and the latter
wants short outlet TO the Mississippi from
Saltwater

MONTANA STOCK INTERESTS.
Stock in Good Condition to Stand the Spring
StOrms---The Two Associations to be
Consolidated

OUHoOlludUtu.
MILES CITY, Mont, March 25.-During the
past week the raw, chilly days set some to
thinking whether or not the stock would be
endangtr d any by the storms this spring, but
the opinion seems to be held here gener-
ally that live stock improved so much
during the fine weather of the last part of
February and the first half of March that no
fears of spring losses need be entertained.
Capt. William Harmon, secretary of the
Eastern Stock Growers association, is well
pleased with the progress of the movement
toward consolidating Eastern and Western
Montana associations. In conversation
on the subject he related the way
it was started. In a committee meeting
of stock growers at Helena, Granville
Stuart, president Of the Western association,
in an informal manner, preached the sub
iect of devising some means whereby the
two associations would continue to work in
harmony. 1t was discussed at some length,
when Capt. Harmon proposed
to Mr.. Stuart that the associa-
tions consolidate and have but one
president, two vice presidents, two secre-
tares and so on, and that the meetings be
held in one place, then at another. Thus
different sections would always be repre-
scented and business would be transacted for
the mutual benefit. Mr.. Stuart looked
upon the plan very favorably,
as did other gentlemen present
and from that time they have proceeded to-
ward the elimination Of Capt. Harmonic
proposition. 1t evidently aided in innu-
encing the successful course of stock
legislation in Montana at the recent session,
and / notice that it meets with much favoi
from the territorial papers.

THE statistics of street travel in New York
city furnish some prodigious figures. The
numb Der of persons carried on street railways
and omnibus lines in the city has increased
in the last thirty years from 100000 year
to BOZ, 000,0 900, an average increase of over
5000, 900 year, and this although the pop
ulation has only little more than doubled
in the time. While the increase in the pop
ulation has been about 46 per cent. per de-
cade, from 1850 to 1880, the increase in
travel has been al per cent per decade.
Nearly one-third the travel in the city, o.
000, 900 passengers, is accredited to the ee
waited railways. But the curious feature in the
business is that the very agencies provided
for supplying the demand for travel actually
increases it. The more railroads built in the
city the more are needed. 1t is estimated
that in FIVE years from now the passenger
traffic will reach 425, ZOO, 900 year, and that
this number will be doubled in ten years
more-provided there shall be the means
for accommodating it.

st. Louis CITY Convention.

ST.. Louis, March 25.-The Democratic
convention for the nomination of a city
ticket met at Mercantile Library ball at IL 80
this morning, but did not complete an or
ganizaton until about 3 p. IN. Since then
they have been balloting for candidate for
mayor, and at 1890 tonight so
ballots had been taken without
result. The candidates in nomination
are Edward A. Noonan, judge Of the court of
criminal correction; Charles p. Rainwater, a
prominent merchant, and Robert NJ Parks,
an old citizen out of business. The ballots
have varied but little since they commenced
and the prospect now is that the convention
will sit most Of the night. Judge Noonan
holds slight lead and Parks has the balance
of power. The contest is stubborn and per
sistent, with no signs OF break in the ranks
of either candidate.

The discord which seems to exist between
the police and fire departments of st. Paul
doesn't affect anything as long as it is moth
ing but sentiment, but when 1t threatens TO
impair the efficiency of these two important
branches of the public service, it is time TO
call halt. and remind those concerned in
ii that their duty to the city absolutely de-
mands that they work in harmony The fire
and police departments OF any city sustain
intimate relations with each other, and
emergencies often arise in the work of each
where the assistance of the other is neces-
sity; especially in st. Paul, whose police an d
fire departments are both numerically made
quate. Where one department can help the
other, such assistance should be cheerfully an
freely granted; and an attempt, at least,
should be made to settle what differences
arise between them by a conference between
officials of the two forces instead of an APP
peal to the city attorney, city council or any
other outsider

The Iowa Governor Backs Down.


DEs MONIES, March 25.-The case of Cat
tell VS.. Brown, which was set for trial in the
circuit court by agreement of the counsel on
both sides, was called up by Mr.. Browns
counsel this morning. Judge Conner was
about to assign day for hearing the case on
It's merits when the governors counsel moved
dismissal of the case. Judge Nourse made a
vigorous protest against that method and in
sisted that the case should be fairy'tried, and
carried to the supreme court. Mr.. Brown
had been thrust from his office by bayonets,
and he demanded a fair hearing of his case
on its merits. ExGov. Stone, counsel for
Sherman, replied that they could not be
compelled TO try the case nor to
take it to the supreme court,
and that they should dismiss the
case. So, despite the earnest protest Of Mr..
Browns counsel, the governor slipped ont Of
court and now relies on his bayonets alone
to sustain him in his alleged usurpation.
Under the rules Of procedure the court
could do nothing but dismiss the case. This
looks like hack down on the part Of the
governor. He in no wise gave notice that
be would move the court for an order, at the
same time restoring Brown 10 the Office.

A Girl Successfully Masquerades Herself For
Three Years.
Special to the Globe
CHICAGO, March 25.-The romantic three
year masquerade in male attire of girl of
Is, has just come to light. Sylvia Hammond
is the daughter of a well-to-do farmer, near
Springfield, o. In the summer of 1882,
after having been corrected by her mother
one day for some fault she bought suit of
boys' clothing, donned it and ran away from
home. At Marion, o., she adopted the
name IF Sidney Hammond, and hired out to
keep tally at railroad gravel-pit. Eight
months later she went to Canton in the same
state, and secured employment on dairy
farm. Within q short time she was ad-
vanced to the position of driver of the supply
wagon. She was also admitted to the house
as one of the family daughter of the
house became attached to her, and for
fear that the attachment would re-
suit in detection, sidney" quilted
the place and came to Chicago. He brought
letters of recommendation from the pastor
of the church and superintendent of the
Sunday school, which he had regularly at
tended, to the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation here. Through these influences
situation in the West side street car barns
was procured. For i've weeks he has
watered the horses and led them back and
forth between the cars and the barn. Dur
ing the last holidays, superintendent Lake
gave him place in the company's paint
shops, furnished him with clothing and
rendered him other help Recently the sus-
picions of several people had bee1 excited.

arrested. She is said to have confessed to
the police, but they decline to say anything
about the matter. Her folks have been in

and leading members of the bar of Phila-

ner to the ex-attorney general of the United
States, Mr.. Brewster. 1t was to have been a

committee which had the arrangements in
charge were astonished to-day by letter
from the late attorney general, in which he
declines to accept, giving as reason that he

feast while so many find it hard work to get
a meal. He says that with the industries and
business of the country at an ebb, it is no
time for public man to engage in public
festivities. Thanking them for the honor, he
says he can't do it because Of the calamitous
times.
