RAILROAD DISCRIMINATION.
Ex-Vice President Blanchard Be
fore the Commerce Conn
mittee.

mittee.
New YORK, May 22.-The senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce met again to-
day. George R. Blanchard, formerly
vice president of the Erie railroad,
addressed the committee for two hours.
He said that at the present time there were
very few railroads in the United States
which charged the rates either freight or
passenger allowed them under their charter.
Discrimination cannot and ought not to be
baniShed from interstate commerce. Unjust
discrimination should be and ought
to be condemned No road should be al
lowed to favor one man engaged in business
at the expense of his neighbor in the same
business While connected with the
Erie Mr. Blanchard had allowed
persons engaged in the build
ing of factories and other industrial
structures to ship the material for those
structures at reduced rate. This was
done to encourage industry and was, i'll Mr..
Blanchards opinion,
4 WISE DISCRIMINATION
AS remedy for many of the evils con-
nected with the transportation problem,
he advocated the publication of the
rates of the different roads in
postoffices, hotels ahd other public
places in the same way as the postal rates
are published by the government. Should
law embodying this idea be passed, every
road in the country would be COM
PEELED to obserde it. 1t is
the duty Of the United States to
protect investors in railroads and other
property as much as it is to protect the
farmers who occupy it's lands. At the
present time but little protection was
afforded Compare the ruin which
had overtaken the investors IN
railroad property during the past
few years with the proserity which had at
tended the farmers. Had the same protec-
ton been afforded to both the losses to the
farmer would have been less than what they
have been. Mr.. Blanchard was in favor OF
the appointment of a United States
RAILROAD COMMISSION
for the settlement of questions regarding
rates, ect. In speaking of the pooling ar
sangement he said the city of New York
was better served by four railroads acting
in unity than by four roads acting
each for itself. Owing to the bad
faith of many roads the pooling
system has never fulfilled its mission. Be-
tween Chicago and Omaha the develop
ment of the country had been phenomenal.
The entire system of railroads between
these points was bound together by an in
flexible pool. The result had been the
forcing up of rates fully so per cent.
above those charged for a like
distance east of Chicago. There were too
many railroads in the country already. AS
the laws stand at present parallel lines are
built when there is no reason why the rival
road should have been built. It was too
easy matter for lot of gentlemen
to get together after dinner lay out a rail-
road, draw up the charter and blossom out
as corporation under the law, AS it
should be no road should be built unless its
projectors could satisfy the commissioner
that there was need of such a road.

Blaineites who Will Go.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 29-The term of
United States District Attorney Tenney of
Brooklyn expired yesterday, and there is a
great scramble among New York politicians
for the place. Tenney is an intimate friend
of Blaine. 1t was he who accompanied
Blaine on his hippodrome tour through
Ohio and the West during the
late presidential campaign. Judge
Tenney Is a big, burly man
of the John A. Logan type, and in appear
ance is not unlike the Illinois statesman.
So close is the resemblance in fact that
Tenhey was frequently mistaken for Logan
by the rural population of Ohio and Indi-
ana. 1t is stated that Blaine offered to use
his influence to have Tenney retained in his
place but Tenney would not permit it. In
the event Of Blaine's election Mr.. Tenney
would have received cabinet appointment,
possibly that of attorney general. An
other of Blaine's familiars on this trip was
Joe Manley, the postmaster at Augusta,
Me. By singular coincidence Manley's
commission also expires this week. There
is no doubt that Blaine did what he could
to have Manley retained, for the
present lat least, and Manley, unlike
Tenney, was party to the scheme, but the
Democracy of the state made such howl
about it that the effort was speedily aban-
doned. The principal contestant for Man.
ley's place is Col. Morton, the gentleman
who instigated the scandal about Blaine
which was circulated during the campaign.
The Blaines are moving heaven and earth
to defeat Morton for this reason

prominent business firms to accept positions

released. He is man of much intelli-
gence, sharp, bright and courteous. and has
been allowed all the privileges about the in
stitution that the authorities could grant,
and has been an associate and assistant.
They are sorry to part with him.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-It was learned
at the state department. to-day that there
has been something of a commercial upris-
ing in Halifax over the contemplated change
in the office of consul general. Several
weeks ago Wakefield G. Frye
of Maine had placed his resignation
at the disposal of the department., but
Nova Scotia merchants have become pos
sessed of the idea that his action was not
entirely voluntarily. AS Mr.. Bayard ex-
pressed the situation: SIT seemed as If the
whole country up there was aroused in the
interest of Mr.. Frye's retention" !"
A great bundle of petitions have been
forwarded to the president, asking that Mr..
Frye be continued in office, and represent
ing the desirability of his service in pro-
tecting and fostering the commercial rela-
tions between Noyia Scotia and the STAKES.
Mr.. Frye is near relative Of Senator Frye,
but it is not believed that he will be re-

THE CRIMINAL RECORD.
Out Of Prison.

Special to the Globe.
JOLIET, ILL.,, May 22.-One of the most
noted characters who ever did time at Joliet
prison is Charles Angel, who will be re-
leased on Thursday, May 2S. He
arrived at the prison February %,
1878, on ten years sentence
for embezzlement. Previous to Angelrs
defalcation he was the confidential clerk
and private secretary of the Pullman Palace
Car company, at Chicago, and was receiving
salary of $4,000 year, but it appears
that this very liberal salary was not con-
sidered enough by Angel to support him.
self in the regal manner to which he aspired,
and he appropriated S125, 900 in bonds and
money belonging to his employers and fed
the country. A large reward was immedl-
ately offered for his apprehension, and
shrewd detectives were soon on his track.
The fugitive was at last captured at Lisbon,
Portugal, by Special United States Detec-
tive Frank, who returned his prisoner
safely to the Cook county
authorities. The captive pleaded
guilty and returned SS4, 600 of the property.
The judge thereupon sentenced the prisoner
to the penitentiary for ten years, the full
extent of the law, and he was duly received
by the prison authorities Since his con-
tinement Angel has been employed as book
keeper at the prison. Being an
EXCELLENT ACCOUNTANT
he has filled this position with credit to
himself and to the great satisfaction of the
authorities. In July, 1888, an effort was
made by the prisoners friends to- get him
pardon,- but after reviewing all the circum-
stances connected with the case. the posi-
ton held by Angel in society. his
intelligence and education, and the fact that
the applicant at the time he defrauded his
employers was receiving large and liberal
salary, Gov. Hamilton decided there were
no mitigating circumstances in the case and
refused to grant the pardon. At the time

Small Grains Doing Nice1y..D mage
to Flax--COrn Planting Almost
Finished.

According to reports received from sta
ton agents along the Omaha line, small
grains are all in, with the exception of flax,
much of which will have to be resown, on
account of the damage to it by frost. Corn
planting will be about finished this week.
It has been delayed by the wet weather,
but the weather is favorable now, and farm
ers are prosecuting the planting most
vigorously. Small grains are all doing
nicely, stimulated by the recent rains. The
acreage is little less than last year, but on
flax an increase of 25 per cent.
Blakeley-Corn planting will be nearly
finished this week; it has been delayed by
the wet weather; grain has grown very
little during the past cold weather, but with
favorable weather hereafter little damage
Will result.

Tremendous Landslide.

PITTsBURG, May 22.-The hillside for
quarter of a mile along the Fort Wayne
road, at Agen, ten miles from this city, is
sliding at the rate of four feet an hour.
Some ten or twelve houses and the railroad
track itself are in danger of being
pushed into the river before tomorrow
night. The Fort Wayne road has large
force of men at work, but so far they have
been unable to arrest the landslide.
They fear that tonight it will be impos-
sible to do so. The rains
of to-day have loosened the earth still
farther, and the inmates of the houses are
preparing to leave for safer places. The
recent rains and the thawing of the ground
caused a large amount of water
to collect near the top of the
hill which is thoroughly soaked. The hill
side began to come down this afternoon.
The slide is very deep, not being merely
from the surface. Trees are moving, roots
and all, and threaten destruction to all

A young lawyer friend of mine from

midst of of an argument by some irrele-
want question, don't get frightened and
spoil your argument by stopping to answer

honor, but I will reach that by and by and
if you don't reach it, itwon't matter. You
need not be afraid that you will be called
up to answer it after you have taken your
seat" The young man took his advice
