Discussing Grain Rates.

The conference of the day previous be-
tween the railway officials of the transit
roads and the state railway commissioners
was continued yesterday with closed doors,
and as on other occasions those present
said nothing of what happened or what
was done. The time was devoted to a
comparison of tariffs, of the local rail-
roads and those in the states
of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Ne
braska, etc., which were presented
by the commissioners to sustain their
point that the local rates of the lines in
cluded in the Northwestern Traffic associa-
ton were much higher than those of lines
operated in the states mentioned. OF course
the argument of the commissioners was
accepted by officials as being rather slim, as
different lines are not operated alike, all
doing business under different circum-
stances, and on the question of comparison
some animated discussions ensued, though
neither body conceded its mistake. They
all sat around table with
tariffs before them, looking them carefully
over, determining where a possible reduc-
ton could be made. No conclusion was az
rived at and the session will be continued
to-day.

THE REPUBLICAN LEADER

NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 1885 TO the Editor of
the St. Paul GLOBE: "BLAINE is the strong
est man in the Republican party to-day"
One half of all the voters in the state of
New York firmly believe BLAINE to be a dis
honest man. CLEVELAND won the last cleo
ton because he had the reputation of being
an honest man. After you become posted as to
the facts concerning BLAINE you will wonder
at your statement quoted above. Don't for
get what l say. Yours, REPUBLICAN VOTER.
Recognizing the force of all that our
Stalwart correspondent of the Empire state
says, the GLOBE sticks to it that BLAINE
is the strongest man in the Republican
party to-day. He is the strongest because
he is the best exponent of the cardinal doc
trines of his party. He is the shrewdest
and most perfect representative of the
spoils sentiment, as he is the ablest cham
pion of the protection theory. Take away
from the Republican party the protection
idea and Its fondness for public plumber,
and there is nothing left of it. Mr.. BLAINE
is an ideal Republican and hence it is that
he can arouse an enthusiasm among his
party associates that no other man can.
Mr.. SHERMAN may flaunt his bloody shirt
in the Middle states, Mr.. EvARTs may
paralyze New York and the New England
states with his long-drawn sentences. Gen.
LOGAN may rattle around over the Western
prairies parading his war record and
Strengthening the English language, but when
it comes to selecting leader to shape
a policy for his party and to advance its
standard when the slogans sound, all Re-
publican eyes turn toward Mr.. BLAINE.
The spoilsmen and the monopolists recog-
nize no other leader. As long as they COM
pose the bulk of the Republican organlza-
ton. and they always will, there is no risk
in making the assertion that Mr.. BLAINE
is the strongest man in the Republican
party Now that it has been demonstrated
that a Republican victory cannot be
achieved under his magnetic leadership. it is
equally safe to assert that the control of the
government has passed permanently into
the hands of the Democratic party.

ANOTHER MYSTERY.
Woman Drowned in the Lake, De.
serted by Her Companions.
Special to the Globe.

Special TO the Globe.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Those who were in
the vicinity of Oak and Pine streets about
O'Clock last evening were startled by the
screams OF woman floundering in
Tue water, just off the breakwater.
~ the 1oot OF Lincoln park. Two
otler women running north on Pine street
.'iiu aiso screaming soon succeeded in at
oia. 4 thirty or more persons to the
spot. Among those first ro arrive was
W. L. Mcclure of No. 90 Walton Mace.
Hearing the cutlery he proceeded tn the
breakWater and sought to rescne the
woman, who, it is supposed. drownad bar-
sell TOR reasons that have not vet been as-
certalned. Failing to reach her. he notified
police and then procured boat with which
two young men succeeded in securing the
woman's body, after life had become ex-
tinct. Mr.. Mcclure asserts that when
he met the two women who were
running along Pine street he stopped them
and asked them what was the matter.
They told him that woman was drowning
in the lake. He ran toward the breakwater
and as he did SO he said
he saw a man run from
the breakwater to one-horse top buggy
standing on Oak street, near Pine, and
drive away rapidly. The man did not re-
turn and he saw no more OF the second
young woman. After the body had
been so rescued from the water all the wit
nesses who could be found were questioned
by the officers at the East Chicago
Avenue station. None of them could
tell who the man in the buggy was, and
as to the women they could only say that
they were about eighteen or twenty years
OF age, and wore long black cloaks and
black hats. The body was seen
at the city morgue late last evening
and was that of woman
who was apparently 40 years of age and
from the middle walks of life. She was of
stout build and weighed probably 22O
pounds. Her facewas round and full, her
hair dark brown and inclined
to curl, and she wore dress of some dark
wooden material, silk cloak, white
stockings and dark cloth or En-
gllsh lasting CATERS. Her hands were
gloved with a pair of well-worn
two-button kids and on one of them she
wore plain gold ring, with the following
inscription on the inside: ''F. W. B. to
M. Sch.," which was the only
thing found upon her by which she
could possibly be identified. The only
marks upon her person were slight contu-
sion on the left forehead and slight
brulse ON the left side of the face.

Indian Post Traders a Bad Lot.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-In regard to
the policy of changing post traders at In
dian agencies, Commissioner Atkins said
to-day:
have seen nothing to suggest change in
the management of this office. / believe the
traders have done more harm than any one
else on Indian reservations. They come in
close and immediate contact with the Indians
and they have been the main cause of most of
our Indian troubles. They rob and defraud
the Indians in every possible way, and I
think it one of the most important duties of
the Indian bureau to turn their traderships
over to good. honest men. AS a rule, think
the old set are altogether bad lot.
Respecting the charges that great injus-
tice has been done traders who have been
refused renewal of license and caught
with big stocks on hand, which they have
to dispose of at sacrifice, Gen. Atkins
said he always gave them ample notice that
their license would not be renewed, and
had been very liberal in granting moderate
extensions. He had been careful, too, not
to grant new licenses in way that would
permit new trader to force an old trader
to sell out at a sacrifice.

Power of the knights of Labor.

Special TO the GIoDe.
NEeAUNEE, Mich.,. Nov. 10. - The
Knights of Labor, who have been thorn
in the side of the mining companies since
they were first organized, promise to become
more distasteful to many of them. The
Knights are by no means political organi-
cation, but it is feared by the Republicans
that they will vote for the Democratic state
and county ticket next fall. merely to show
their power. The Knights themselves
speak very reticently on the subject. One
of them, who stands high in the councils,
has intimated that they will vote the Prohi-
bition ticket just to show their strength.
Such course is improbable in the extreme.
The order of the Calumet & Hecla Min
ing company, forbidding the formation of a
lodge at Calumet, will have just the oppo-
site effect, as the men will join the Knights
of Labor now at all hazards. The order is
growing more powerful every day, and will
soon become an important factor in the in
dustrial condition of the Upper Peninsula.

THE OREGON HYBRID.

The national Democratic party has no spe-
cial reason to be grateful to the seventeen
Oregon Democrats who aided in MITCHELL's
election. 1t was probably done upon the
principle that everything is fair in war, love
and politics, and that the best way to fight
the devil is with fire. When the contest
narrowed itself to WILLIAMS and MITCH
ELL it became HobsOn's choice, and the
Democratic members of the legislature per-
support of MITCHELL with the promise
that he would stand by the administration
in case of a contest with the Republican
senate. Assuming that MITCHELL will be
as good as his word, which is not probable
in one sense his election will be Demo-
cratic gain. There is now only
one more senator to be gained
to make the senate tie, which
will give the vice president the casting
vote. 1t is reasonably certain that the next
senator from Indiana will be Democrat
But while MITCHELL's election is DEM
ocratic gain in this sense, it is more seri-
Gus loss in another. IT the reform
movement in this country is dependent for
success on such cattle as the new Oregon
senator, the sooner the reform shop is
closed the better it will be. The Demo-
cratic administration does not want to be
inveigled into any entangling alliances
with Republicans of MITcHELL's stamp.
1t was to rid the public service of just
such characters that the people put
the Democratic party in power. COnse-
quently the seventeen Democrats in the
Oregon legislature who voted for MITCHELL
have not only failed to commend them
selves to public respect, but they have COM
promised the national Democratic party.
While we know that there is disposition
on the part of the majority of the Republi-
can senators to oppose the administration
in every effort to bring about reforms,
we have confidence enough in the integrity
of some of them to believe that they will
not be misled by partisan zeal to stand as
obstacles in the way of reform. If
we are mistaken in this and the
Republican senators are solidifed in
their opposition to the administra-
ton, and thus defeat the presidents
efforts to give the country good govern
ment, let 1t be so thousand times over,
rather than to be compelled to ride over
them with the purchased votes of such men
as MITCHELL. The Democratic party
could better afford to stand out in the cold
for another twenty-four years than to gain
victories by such disreputable methods.
The best way for the Democratic senators
to vindicate the party from the disgrace of
MITcHELL's election is to vote against seat
ing him when he applies to be sworn in.

HELENA, Ark, Nov. 19.-Last night
about 10 o'clock citizens of Helena were

thought to be very heavy rain storm, but
on looking out they were surprised to see a
clear sky filled with what appeared as snow
fakes, and not rain, that was pattering
with such force against the roofs and

was filled with grasshoppers. Citizens who
have seen the dreaded pest sweep down and
consume whole fields in Kansas say that in
numbers the visitation last night exceeds
anything ever seen in that country tenfold.
They were passing from east to west.
Great numbers of them were disabled by
hitting against buildings and other obstruc-
lions, as they were flying very low, and this
morning porters and clerks had to shovel
them from off the sidewalks into the streets.
They are the genuine Kansas grasshopper.
