OUR RITER INTERPRETATIONS.


The GLOBE has heretofore attempted to
point out the injustice done the great north
west by the river and harbor bill now before
congress, and has urged the representatives
from this section to unite their efforts to de-
feat It, unless our claims are properly recog-
nized. The reason why this important sec
ton of the country has been neglected in this
KER in an interview published in the Wash
iugton EeeniRg Critic. Col. WALKER SAYS:
''We attribute the ignoring of the Missouri
and upper Mississippi rivers to the influence
and power Of the Mississippi river commits
sion, which seems to have been specially de
vised to divert from the northwest all appro-
priations and to put them on the southern
reaches of the Mississippi river.'' Col.
WALKER then proceeds to state that this
trouble originated in 1878, when JAMES B.
EADs was selected TO take the work on the
Mississippi out of the hands of the competent
engineers who, up to that time, had control
of it. Col. WALKER is confident that when
the river Is properly improved between st.
Paul and Minneapolis and st. Louis the Min
nesota farmers can ship their wheat to Belize
at cost of six cents per hundred. II this
be true, and 1t is highly probable, then the
power of the Northwestern Empire ought to
be exerted to accomplish these commendable
purposes, and the people of the state will find
a much surer way to emancipate themselves
from the extortions of railroad corporations
than they can by Legislative enactments, re-
stricting the business operations ofthe roads.
For, after all, competition is the only correct
solution of the railroad problem.

HORTICULTURAL HOBBIES.

From the New York Mail and Express.
''What is the latest rage among the finest
specimens of plants9" asked reporter Of
florist.
''The orchids are, decidedly. They are
coming into favor on account of their many
shapes and varied shades of color. They
are plants which grow without any soil,
being usually tied to block of wood or
cork suspended in the air. They require
nothing but water to nourish them. The
plants are very unattractive, but the flowers
which grow on them are beautiful beyond
comparison. They are parasites and grow
well in South America. In Europe one
large horticulturist, with acres of green
houses, employs fourteen German natural
lists to do nothing else but experiment with
orchids and produce new varieties. In the
United States the universal love for plants
has not reached a high enough plane to
justify such an enormous expense. single
specimen of the scarcer kind costs 81, 000."
''Do any private Conservatives grow
them"
''Yes. Mrs. Pierrepont Morgan has
greenhouse filed with the largest variety OF
orchids specimens in the United States and
among private people not in the business
perhaps in the world. They could not be
bought for hundred thousand dollars. She
employs several naturalists and every three
or four years new specimens are produced.
They grow slowly and very delicately and for
that reason horticulturists do not give much
attention to them"
''Is it fact that most wealthy men who
build greenhouses fill them with their favor
ite plant"
with few exceptions such is the case.
Mr.. Jay Gould has magnificent conserva-
tory at Irvington, which cost, they say,
S350,000. His mania is for palms. Every
variety of palm in the world is to be found
there. They are the most valuable, too, In

CHICAGO, Feb 5.-The attempt made yes
terday by the taunk line general passenger
agents, to adopt an agreement for the restora-
ton and maintenance of the east bound pas
senger rates, resulted in a complete failure.
All interests were represented and everybody
seemed anxious to check the prevailing de-
mobilization, but it was impossible for all to
think alike on the very first matter which
presented itself. The original agreement
which the managers of AL the lines but the
Grand Trunk approved several months ago,
was taken as a basis for discussion,
the proposition being to consider it
section by section. The first clause, provid-
ing that all rates be restored to the tariff was
read by the chairman. 1t was impossible to
agree upon what should be considered the
tariff. The Michigan Central would recognise
no tariff that did not make the same rates by
all lines to the same points. The Grand
Tunk insisted that 1t should BE- alloweda
differential to Boston via Montreal. A ma
jority Of the other lines while opposed to 1t
were disposed to allow it in the interests of
peace, but the Michigan Central would not
withdraw its objection. 1t was impossible to
do anything and the meeting adjourned
sine die. The general impression is that no
further attempt will be made at an early date
to adjust matters, and there Is little doubt
that war will be begun in earnest.

Mr.. CLEvELAND's business is one thing, the

and to let other peoples business alone.
His omission to interfere with the business OF
the present congress has secured for Lin a
general respect equivalent in value TO the

altogether reliable. The classification COM
mittee were in session all day, and there
was good deal of discussion pro and con
on some of the proposed changes, but so far
as is known, the schedule was
left about as it was before. A majority Of
the committee opposed the abolition of special
car load rates so urgently advocated by a
delegation of merchants before the commit

in session this evening No action relative
to the commissioners question was taken

accept the position. In case he refuses it

Distinguished Politicians and Cranks
Besiege the Victoria Hotel to
See the President.
The Chief Magistrate Smiled on All Alike
and Gave Every body Cordial
Welcome.

New YORK, Feb. 5.-Presidept Cleveland
was up by nine o'clock this morning. He
breakfasted about half an hour later. Mean
while the politicians and crowds were await
ing In the lower corridor of the Victoria hotel
to see the new chief magistrate.
They began to arrive about 9 O'Clock
and there was continual stream
of would be visitors throughout the forenoon
in fact all day. 1t was amusing to see
the cranks come in and ask if Mr.. Cleveland
was up, and scan ! see him. One of these
fellows waited at the hotel desk half ali hour
for an answer to his card, and was finally
told by the clerk that the president was very
busy, and that he had better come around
later.
The president looked bright and cheerful
when he got ready to receive callers, and
Col. Lamont wore his best smile. Among the
first to be admitted to the presidents inner
and secluded room were Senator Doolittle, Of
Illinois; Gen. Ewing, of Ohio; Congressman
Van Eaton and Senator George, of Missis-
sippi. Their interviews lasted half an hour or
more, and when they came down stairs
they looked pleased although their visit was
satisfactory. Then Mayor Grace and Gen
eral Smaller, of the board of health, and Theo-
dore Meyers wentup to shake hands and have
an informal chat with Mr.. Cleveland Their
visit was short and sweet. Senator Markham
and Sidney Webster then got few moments
audience. Up to noon Chairman
Barnum had not shown up,
although he is in town. The Virginia
delegation went in in body and had quite
long interview. Among others who called
during the day were Judge Moulton, of Illi-
nois; Congressman Turner, Of Kentucky;
North Carolina; Senator German, of Mary
land; j. c. Calhoun, of Arkan
sas; R. s. Dement,, Of Illinois;
Thad. C. Pound, of Wisconsin :;
Gen. Clingham, of North Carolina; Gen.
Alpheus Hardy, of Boston; Col. Jas. Ben
nett, of Washington, W. B. Ruggles, of Al
bauy, j. M. Weston and Dan Dickinson, Of
Michigan; A. L. Knott and Louis McLane,
of Maryland.
Col. Lamont said that the visitors simply
had an informal chat with the president, and
that there was stu nothing definite as to the
composition of the cabinet The belief was
expressed by some of Mr.. Cleveland's callers
that he does not yet know himself whom he
will select, and that the question will not be
settled before his return to Albany.
Senators Lamar, of Mississippi;
Jonas and Gibson, Of louisiana;
Beck, of Kentucky; Harris, of
Tennessee; Cockrell of Missouri Mcpherson,
of New Jersey and several other congress
men are expected here tonight or to-mor-
row to confer with Cleveland.
Several headquarter detectives are on duty
in the lower corridor of the Victoria hotel.

The Erie Railroad.

New YORK, Feb. Sit is assured by the
best authority that scheme for recognizing
the Erie railroad is being formed, which
contemplates the assessment OF both common
and preferred stock and the second consol-
idsted bonds. This project can only be
carried by throwing the company into the
hands OF a receiver and there is every prob
ability that this will be done. It is likely
that the real news in regard TO the plans of
the officers and the condition of the company
will be made known the first Of March, when
heavy interest payments become due.
