AN EDENLEss ADAM.

Clothed in sackcloth and ashes, and with
its mouth in the dust, yesterdays Pioneer
Press went through a most humiliating
process of officiating by confessing that it
had published a libel against the Demo-
cratic officials Of st. Paul. A more
humiliating confession of wrong doing and
more cowardly evasion of responsibility
for the act has not been witnessed since the
day ADAM stood covering in the presence
of his Maker and faltered out the miserable
excuse that the woman had tempted him
and he did eat. What wonderful differ
ence is manifested between the tone of yes
terday's apologize article and the famous
one in which it was arrogantly announced
that the allegations of corruption and NAL
feasance against the city officials were made
upon the authority Of one who dwelt within
the inner circles of the Democratic camp,
and for whose credibility the Pioneer Press
vouched. Not satisfied with one publica-
ton of the slanderous charges, the Pioneer
Press republished them from day to day,
with the solemn assurance that they were
incontroyertible, and, with well-feigned
assumption of honest virtue, called upon
the people to turn the rascals out. Now it
admits that the whole story was base fabri-
cation of the most malignant sort. False
hood is the crime of towards. So with
trembling terror the Pioneer Press bundles
up the responsibility of its own malicious
assault against honest gentlemen, and, strap
ping the bundle upon the back of poor Tom
HOWARD, sends him into the wilderness as
the fleeing scapegoat to bear away the sin of
its libel. The Third street organ seems to
forget that we have passed out from
under the dispensation of types and
shadows, and that we are living in the age
when every tub stands ON its own bottom.
Tom HOWARD might have made very
good scapegoat in the days of AARON and
the Levitical priesthood. but he isn't worth
tinker's malediction for such purpose in
this day of responsible journalism. The
Pioneer Press ought to know that it is
estopped by every principle and precedent
i'll jurisprudence from impeaching its own
witness. 1t Tom HowARD's testimony
was good enough for the purpose of the
Pioneer Press on the Sd day of May, that
paper ought to have the manliness now to
stand by HOWARD in this the day of adj
versity. Taking it altogether, the present
attitude Of the Pioneer Press presents the
most complete surfeit of officiating and the

The treasury surplus at the end of the fis-

The treasury surplus at the end of the ifs
cal year on the 30th Of June is estimated as
low as $40, 100000 Secretary MCCULLoCH's es-
Inmates, sent to congress last December,
place the total revenue from customs for the
current year at 100000; from internal
revenue at $115, 100000 and from miscella-
neous forces at $30,000,000. Now for the
nine months for which complete returns are
at hand the customs actually yielded in round
numbers $13S, 1856 900; the internal taxes $751;
600, 900, and the miscellaneous $20, 221 ,0O0-in
all $240,000,000. Therefore to meet Secretary
MCCULLoCH's estimates the receipts of the
three closing months of the year must reach
800, 200, but it is safe to say that they will
fall off about $16, 100000. We have evidently
fallen on period of necessary economy and
reform.

A KNoTTY PROBLEM.

The Northwestern situation is still a
serious problem for the solution of the Do
minion government. RIEL has been routed,
but his whereabouts, the strength of his
following, his power for mischief and his
present movements and his designs for the
future are alike unknown quantities. These
are all important factors to be considered
in arriving at any conclusion. The raid of
PoUNDMAKER and his hungry and thirsty
mob on the supply train, reported in yes
terday's GLOBE and given more in detail
to-day, still further complexities the situa-
ton, which is certainly grave enough at
best. The feeling against RIEL even in
enforcement circles outside of Quebec
is so intense that the Toronto Globe would
have price set upon his head and those Of
his lieutenants and followers as well. With
this sort of spirit SO generally prevailing
in Ontario, it hardly seems probable that
amnesty will be granted the rebels"
waving all consideration of the adjust
ment of the grievances for which they took
I'D arms and invited hostilities. Without
any concession on the part of the govern
ment, there would seem to be nothing in
sight less guerrilla warfare, which
could but be disastrous to all OF
the parties at interest. With a
price upon the head of the leaders and the
rank and file of the rebels in a state Of out
lawry there is nothing left for them to do
but to fight to the death. And by the
power of diplomatic persuasion it will not
be difficult for them in the light of POUND
MAKERS success to secure the active aid
of all of the able-bodied and armed Indians
in the Northwest territories. With the
breeds fighting for their homes and their
families, and the Indians for the only con-
sideration that tends to move the noble red
man on the war nafh-tha qualification of

NEW YORK, May 15.-The favorable
outcome of the meeting in Chicago, which
resulted in the formation of new pool in
the Omaha business, with an equitable dis
tribution of percentage, the bulls say, will
practically prevent the roads from making
any further concessions and the restoration
OF rates ordered last Saturday, and which
became operative on Monday, will continue
until the expiration of the contract agreed
upon. The news from Europe that fresh
complications had arisen in Russia-Anglo
matters is regarded as further bull point.
Concerning the Pacific Mall President K.
B. Houston says: ''For aught know the
present subsidy contract between the
Central Pacific and the Union Pacific COM
panies and ourselves will terminate June 1,
as agreed upon, but no meeting has been
called looking to an extension of the time,
and after the Both inst. each corporation in
terested will do it's own business. C. P.

China line of steamships and this appears
to be the ultimatum. Nevertheless am

THE public will learn with profound regret
that Mr.. Tom HOWARD has retired from the
editorial department of the Pioneer Press.
The pages of that journal will no longer
sparkle with the scintillating humor of the
romantic young editor whose ingenuity, art
less suavity and fertile imagination contrib
uted all the spicy literature that has graced
its columns within the last decade. Our best
wishes follow Mr.. HOWARD in his forty years
wanderings through the wilderness of sin
whittier he has gone as a scapegoat to bear
away the responsibility of the proprietors of
the journal with which he was lately con-
nected.

Accidents That Have Occurred Re-
told and Discussed.
The other day number of railroad men
got talking about accidents happening on
the lines they were connected with, and the
strange manner in which most of the acci-
dents occurred. A Manitoba brakeman was
the first to commence and told how con-
ductOr was killed at elevator b, near the
Manitoba shops, about three years ago. The
conductor was in the elevator attending to
billing arrangements when he thought OF
something in the caboose of his freight
train, and ran out of the door and
was about to cross the track when a short
line passenger train whizzed past and car
ried the conductor right along with it. OF
course he was killed, as every bone i'll his
body was broken.
This reminded another employee of the
Manitoba company of an accident at Ham
line station of an operator being killed.
ga passenger train was about 200 yards
distant when the operator, happening to
look out of window in the station, OBJ
served a hand-car upon the track. He
leaped outside to take it off the track, but
the station is little high up, and as you
go down the steps you have to cross,
or did then, a ditch to the track.
Well, as he was ABOUT to spring from the
bottom step onto the track, the step broke
and he tumbled head first across the ditch
and stunned himself by striking his head
against one of the rails, and before the en-
gineer could stop the train it had run across
his body completely decapitating him."
Another instance was told by Minneap-
oils & st. Louis man of the demise Of car
0iler at Minneapolis.

Their witness Gone.

CHICAGO, May 15.-The detectives are
still collecting evidence against the Italians
charged with the trunk murder, but have
met with regular setback. The express
man whom the police desired to identify
the Italians who employed another express
man named Lessinger to haul the trunk to
the depot, has left the city through fright
He was a German employed by man
named Robbins and had been in this coun-
try but a short time. When the trunk was
brought to the corner both the German and
Lessinger parleyed few moments over the
job, and finally Lessinger threw the trunk in
his wagon and drove away. The German,
upon hearing couple of days later that the
bins house and, throwing his cap on the
floor, said he had had enough of the ex-
press business in Chicago. His whereabouts
are unknown.

THE dramatic season is drawing to a close,
and it is not out of the way to say that the
people of St. Paul owe debt of gratitude to
the Grand opera house management for the
very high order of amusements afforded our
people during the present season. 1t is a
singular fact that visitors coming to strange
city form their first impressions of the
culture of the people from the ability of the
pulpits and the character of the theaters.
This being true, the people Of this city have
every reason to be satisfied with their present
conditions in these respects Independent
of the pleasure afforded our citizens by the
high order of entertainments provided by our
theater managers the city has had frst-class
advertisement by reason of it.

THE MARKETS.

The stock market yesterday showed less
activity, and yet, owing to variety of re-
ports on the street, and unfavorable reports
from Europe regarding the Anglo-Russian
war, an undertone of strength was impaired
to the market, so that condition was made
to exist favorable to higher prices, activity
resulted and an advance was made in the
afternoon. About one quarter of the day S
business was in Lackawanna, and next to
this stock Union Pacific was most active.
During the afternoon an effort was made to
break prices, but it failed. The Chicago
wheat market was steady all day, and finally
lclosed a shade lower. In st. Paul it was lie
over and at Minnea polls 75c lower.

A Change of Prisoners,

INDIANAPOLIS, May ia Blooming
ton special reports the express robbery and
murder of the night of April 30, took an
unexpected change to-day at the prelemin-
airy trial of Wright, the man arrested last
Sunday. A young man, Chesley Chambers,
had been summoned as a witness who
upon arriving in town was told that Col.
Friedley, attorney for the railroad, wanted
to see him at his room. Chambers came,
and unexpectedly to him or Weber the two
met face to face Chambers al
most lost control of his voice
when Freddy questioned him about Wright,
but gage neither him nor Weber reason
for suspicion and dismissed him, telling
him to be at the court room to testify
against Wright, As Chambers left the
room, Weber was violently agitated.
Pulling Friedley's arm, he ex-
claimed, For Gods sake don't
let that man 60, that's the
man that shot me and Davis" A warrant
was then issued for Chambers arrest, and
when he was found at the court house he
was thunderstruck. He was taken before
the mayor and questioned, his answers be-
ing scarcely audible. He said he was not
ready for trial, and bail was fixed at SIS, 600.
Suspicion was first aroused by Chambers on
the morning after the robbery going to work
for neighbor. His hands were all bruised
in the inside. as if he had fallen while get
ting off train. The left side OF
his face was badly cut and
bruised In addition he has taken a deep
interest in the case from the first. Web
ber's Identification is positive. After con-
siderable trouble Chambers was bailed by
his friends The prosecution against
Wright has been dismissed. Chambeds has
heretofore had good reputation.

East-Bound Passenger Troubles.

1t is now stated, that the Baltimore &
Ohio road, which virtually controls the
Niagara Falls Short line, has caused the de
moralization of east-bound rates from Chi
cago. Officers of that road, however, say
that the Niagara Falls Short line simply
met the rates that the other lines made.
A sensation has been caused by the state
ment that such reliable roads as the Lake
Shore, Pennsylvania and Fort Wayne had
been selling tickets through scalpers at cut
rates, and even corrupted woman, who
keeps scalping office on Canal street, to
do the cutting for them. In proof of the
statement tickets over every line running
East from Chicago, which had been pur-
chased at a rate of from $1.50 to So less
than agreed rates, were produced.
