Condition of the Cattle.

The Minneapolis paper printed in st. Paul
few days ago published long and false
statement, showing that the cattle out in
Montana are suffering from the cold and that
many of them are dying off, and that
the loss was going to be very
great. These statements are false and
Injurious to st. Paul and the whole
northwest. This misrepresentation about
the cattle is all of piece of the determination
shown by that sheet to underrate the building
in St. Paul, and to bellttle this town every
way. Yesterday the following dispatch was
received which sets the matter at rest and
contradicts the old Minneapolis paper. The
dispatch is from Mr.. Wilson, cattle inspector
of the Northern Pacific road, and is as fol-
lows:
MILES CITY, Jan. 8, 1885. THE report pub
lished in the Pioneer Press, on January 2, in re-
gard to the condition of cattle, is without the
slightest foundation. All stockmen report that
the cattle are in as fine condition as they
have ever seen them at this season OF the year.
The weather has moderated and the snow is
going off rapidly. 1t is 90 degrees above zero.

TRANSPORTATION NOTES.
The Fast Freight Lines.


It is the general opinion that the fast
freight lines must go. The trouble is that
they necesstate the employment of hundreds
of additional and unnecessary agents and
other officers. All these must be paid out of
the business which, when obtained, is
handled by the same roads who would have
received it whether the fast freight lines ex-
listed or not. Another reason is that this ad-
ditional ompetition tends to the cutting of
rates and giving of greater rebates. 1t
stands to reason that il forty agents instead
of fourteen compete for the traffic that four
teen lines must carry in any event, rates are
more apt to be cut or special concessions
given. Here are the two great and unanswer-
able arguments against the further exist
ance of the fast freight lines: They impose
useless and heavy burdens of expense and
cause more disturbance and complication of
rates. Most freight wars can be traced to
the interference and grasping of these in
iquitous organizations. There are no advant-
ages whatever to be secured by their reten-
ton. For these reasons, which are deemed
sufficient the general opinion among railroad
men is that the last freight lines must go.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
An Organization Perfected at the
Meeting Yesterday Afternoon.

The gen tlemen interested in the co-opera-
ton of the charitable institutions OF the city
met yesterday afternoon at O'Clock at the
chamber Of commerce to hear the report OF the
committee appointed at previous meeting
to draft constitution and bylaws. Mr.: NJ
L. Wilson was chosen chairman and Mr.. Geo.
Refs secretary. Mr.. j. d. Ludden, chairman
of the com niittee on constitution and bylaws,
presented what is known as the Buffalo plan.
which is in successful operation in twenty
nine American cities, and which makes the
central organization the parent Of the other
charitable institutions of the city, the latter
to act as the dispensers of aims after con
sultiug with the proper officers of the central
organization. The plan eontemplates the
continuation of all the present societies in
the exercise of their functions as formerly,
but it is expected that the plan of general
supervision by representatives OF them
all in parent society win make
the distribution of aims more general and
intelligent As IN every other walk Of life,
there are brilliant men among the begging
class, men who, unworthy Of aid from any
source, receive it at the hands OF half a
dozen organizations through gross misrepre-
sentation It is the desire of the associated
charities to reduce the supply Of this class Of
mendicant poor TO a minimum and turn the
aims thus diverted to those deserving them.
The main points of the constitution were
printed in the GLOBE few days ago. The
society is to be known as "The Charity Or
ganization Society of St. Paul" The annual
dues are fixed at 50, and any person contri-
buting $50 at one time becomes life mem
Der. The mayor, city attorney, chief OF
police and municipal Judge are made mem
beers 10y virtue Of their office No clergyman
is eligible to membership in the board of di-
rectors. This provision is partly because
ministers have plenty of charity work to do
anyway and partly TO keep from the organi-
cation any suspicion Of sectarianism. The
constitution was adopted, and the following
initial directory chosen: 4. S. Talmadge,
H. s Fairchild, WIN. B. Dean, D. w. Inger-
soil, J. D. Ludden, J. l. Beaumont, DR..
James Martin, NJ. J. O'Connor and George
Refs The latter will act as secretary, and
will notify the directors as to the time and
place of the first meeting. 1t is expected
that they will be called together at the CHAIN
Der of commerce some time before the close
of the week.

Judae Mcoonneips opfnton.

Judge w. B. Mcconnell who is perhaps as
thoroughly advised of the feeling and pur-
poses of the Democrats at Washington aa
anyone, in a recent interview expresses the
opinion that it is utterly hopeless to look for
division of Dakota while the administration
and congress are in the hands of the Dem o.
Gratis. He says it is looked upon in parti-
san light, and division means four Republic
can senators and an increase OF electors.
This he thinks the Democrats cannot be ex-
pected TO concede. His information is that
the people of the territory can choose between
coming in as one state in connection with
Democratic territory Of remaining out in
definitely. He has little doubt that when the
question is presentca directly to the voters Of
the territory they will elect to come in one
state
