wiuExtend TO the Coast.

The indications now are that the Trans
continental and Pacific Coast association
will soon be broken up and that the pres
ent freight war will be extended all the way
to San Francisco and Portland The Cen
tral Pacific makes such demands for bring
ing its Sunset route from New York via
New Orleans and the Southern Pacific into
the Pacific Coast association that the latter
is not likely to make peace on such terms,
and it looks as though the Sunset route Of
the Central Pacific will break up all exist
ing Pacific coast agreements Under the
temporary agreement with the Pacific Coast
association, the Sunset route was to be
guided by the directions of Commissioner
Midgeley, who was to make all rates. But
it is learned that the Central Pacific cOntin-
ues to act independently. The Central Pa
cific announces that California through
rates will be reduced 20 per cent. off the
trunk line rates from New York to Chicago,
making the basis: First class, 40 cents;
second class, 80 cents; third class, "a cents;
fourth class, 20 cents; special class, Is
cents. Goods will be billed according to
these rates, and merchants need not fear
the necessity of making claims for draw
backs or rebates. This action, it is stated,
was authorized by the president of the
Transcontinental association, L. +. Cakes,
without consulting the Pacific Coast asso-
citation, and the fshter does not propose to
stand such interferences with its affairs, so
it states The proposition of the Central
Pacific to have the Pacific Coast percent
ages fixed by the Transcontinental arbi-
traitors also meets with opposition on the
part of the Pacific Coast association. There
is also considerable trouble in the Transcon-
tinental association regarding passenger
business from San Francisco, and it is
stated that four roads stand ready to give
notice of withdrawal

MUM of per cent. and the bonds are eagerly
sought after by capitalists as means of in
vestment.
In every direction the magnificent record
of progress has been the same. Mile after
mile of pavements have been laid, hundreds
of new streets have been opened, other
miles of sewers have been constructed and
the city is to-day in possession of a system
of water works surpassed by none in the
country. This in brief is the record of the
Democratic party in st. Paul.
Every word of this is true as every cit
izen can testify. If the city has attained
its growth under Democratic administration
we would like to know what special reason
there is for making change at this time.
No two men in the city have been more
prominently identified with its improve
ments or have contributed more to its pro-
gress and prosperity than EDMUND RICE
and JOHN w. ROCHE. Yet the people are
asked by the ring bosses to lay aside these
two old wheel horses and substitute in their
place two persons who have given evidence
of their unftness to manage the finances of
the city government. In two years eXper-
fence as treasurer and secretary of the
board of education the two gentlemen who
are put forth as candidates against Messrs.
RICE and ROCHE demonstrated that they
didn't understand the simplest principles of
single-entry bookkeeping. And so far as
promoting the prosperity of the city the
records would indicate that the Republican
candidates have no conception of prosperity
beyond their own individuality.

THE BOY GIRL.

That is a singular story told in the col
mns of the GLOBE this morning of the
arrest in this city on yesterday of the young
man disguised in female attire. In the
confession made by him to a GLOBE re-
porter he reveals the skeleton hid in many
closets of young married couples. The
fatal curse which has wrecked this young
man and has mantled his youthful life with
shame is woman's extravaganza. There is
a tinge of sadness in the poor boys story
that must excite pity. His trouble is a
forcible illustration of the truth of what
the GLOBE spoke on yesterday. when it said
he great cause of our social malady was
that our young people are pushed too early
into the pathways of society. We want to
get back to the days when our young peO-
pie were boys and girls. When young
CHASE married he expected to find the
bloom of all happiness brought to his
home. Instead of making that home a
paradise for him the young wife wrecked
it by her extravaganza. A butterfly of
fashion. she was unfit for the high relation
of wife. The story of the boy girl carries
with it moral. and the lesson should be
studied.

possible that the decrease should be so

weeks ago by denying the inspiration of

Inauguration of the order of Odd

be read with interest. In his character

houses TALMAGE is nothing if not origi-
nal, and the peculiar fascination of his elo-

views are adopted or not. What is said in
yesterdays sermon is repetition of what
has been said in the pulpit thousand
times, still the subject is clothed with such
choice language and so adorned with wreaths
of rhetorical flowers as to give interest to it.
With all his peculiarities TALMAGE is head
and shoulders above all the pulpit orators of
America.

The First Treasury Auditor.
Special to the Globe.


WASHINGTON. April 26.-Very little is
known here of Mr.. Chenoweth, the new
first auditor. 1t is stated that he is native
of Kentucky and citizen of Texas. He
has been active in Lone Star politics, has
been district judge. member of the leg
islature, is the author Of railroad bill
known by his name and has the reputation
of being very good lawyer. He has lat
terly been Senator Maxey's law partner,
and is said to have had the entire delega-
ton in his support for this appointment.
He went into the Confederate army at the
outbreak of the war and held the commits
sion of major Of the First Kentucky cavalry
in Gen. John Morgan's command. The
first auditor audits all accounts Of customs

MILWAUKEE, SPOILS.
The MarshalshiP, the POstOffice
and the Revenue Collector
Fights.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, April $3.50 far as can
be learned, no decision has been arrived at
by Washington authorities in regard to of
fetal changes in the custom house. The
fact that Marshal Fink's term expires
within few days is used as basis
for rumor that he will give place to
a Democrat before many weeks. The two
candidates most prominently mentioned for
the position are Gen. West of this city and
Fred Horn of Cedarburg. Both are heavily
backed for tue place. AS Horn is from
Congressman Bankin's district, the opinion
is gaining ground that his chances are
rather better than those of his competitor.
Whether this VIII prove true remains to be
seen. The friends of Gen. West by no
means give up hope, trusting to the gen
erals record to carry him through.
In the gossip in regard to the pOStOffice
there is noticed veering in
PUBLIC OPINION
toward E. G. Wall, whose chances are said
to have Improved since Phelps retired from
active candidacy. To the Bourbon element
of the Democracy the name of ex-senator
Paul acts the same as red rag on mad
bull In Their desire to avoid Paul they
greedily accept Wall or anybody
else whom they think has the
least show for spelling the chances
of the South slider. This has given new
strength to Wallis candidacy. The only
out-aud-out opponents of the latter are the
Black faction. They base their opposition
on the allegation that if appointed Wall
would attempt the role played by Postmas-
ter Payne il the Republican party. In this
connection 1t is rumored that Wall has given
his bond and in case of
RECEIVING THE APPOINTMENT
he would keep hands off the political ma
chine. Whether this is so or not the Black
opposition shows no signs of abating work
Whether il will effect its object is doubtful
Recently there has been visible feeling in
Democratic circles that it was time local
quarres we're patched up in the interest
of future harmony. that differences which
had their beginning in the incidents oc-
curing previous to the present year should
be dropped. All this is favorable to Wall
and strengthens his position. Danger is
threatened. however, from another quarter.
While Phelps has nomnally dropped out of
the race, he is still bringing
ALL THE INFLUENCE
possible to bear on a favorable considera-
ton of his candidacy. portion of this in
fluence is said to come through New York
friends, who are also friends of Mr.. Cleve-
land. Should their intGcessiOns be worth
as much as alleged the Phelps boom would
seem not to be so fiat as represented.

The Soldiers, Home Change.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The selection
of Gen. Henry j. Hunt for governor of the
Soldiers home gives great satisfaction here.
Gen. Sturgis' term Of service has expired.
He is one of the best-known soldiers of our
service or of the late war. Among profess
sional soldiers abroad he is considered an
authority on artillery service. He was
chief of artillery of the army of the Poto-
mac, and best known to the country at
large for his command of the 100 guns with
which he opposed the charge
of Pickett and Longstreet at Gettys-
burg. He constantly put aside his
personal interests during the war,
and at the request of his superior officer he
remained in the artillery as chief of the staff
instead of accepting higher rank and COM
mand III the volunteers. He could have
easily have reached major-general's rank
with corps command. On account Of
these facts congress at the last session
pessed bill promoting him on the retired
list to brigadier-general, but the president
receiving it late the last night, and thinking
it covered the position taken in the Fitz-
John Porter bill refused TO sign it. The
present appointment has several advantages
which all are glad to see fall to the lot of
Gen. Hunt. Gen. Sturges' administration
has been in all respects of most satisfactory
character.

ANOTHER campaign SANDER nailed. In an

ANOTHER campaign SANDER nailed. In an
interview with the GLOBE this morning Mr..
NICoLs gives fat and unqualified denial to
the statement made by the Pioneer Press in its
editorial columns on yesterday, that the Her.
aid had offered to sell out to Mr.. MERRIAM for
$500. The story bore an improbable face on
it at the time it was related. AS champion
of the interests of the workingmen there was
no possible consistency in proposition to
support MERRIAM. In the second place, the
Herald's reputation is too substantial to be
bartered away for paltry sum like $500.
And finally, if it had been the purpose of the
Herald to bleed Mr.. MERRIAM, it would have
done, as some other people probably have
been doing, have struck him deep and have
had a bonanza of it. This SANDER upon Mr..
NICoLs hasn't done the Herald any harm; 1t
hasn't done Mr.. MERRIAM any good, and was
a bad piece OF business for the Pioneer Press.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 26.-The opening
of the league championship series in this
city between the Chicago and st. Louis
league teams April 80 is an event that is
exciting universal interest in sporting circles
here. The reinstatement of black-listed
men has revived the general interest in the
game, and President Spalding of Chicago 81
complimented ON every side for his telling
work in favor of the Lucas club. The
rivalry will be fierce, but on the broad gauge
of good-fellowship. The Chicago men will
receive right royal welcome when they
make their debut Word has been sent
round and the ST. Louis public will be there
very unanimously. Mr.. Lucas was seen to-
day by reporter and said 81 always
had faith in the business tact of the men
who are the brains of the National league,
and their action at the last meeting sustainS
my views. Clubs are managed to make
money and personal OF private feelings
should be subjected when they contest with
the interest of the league. With players
which have been reinstated and those for
merly under engagement lean put a team
in the field that will be credit to the city
and league. The initial Chicago games
promise to be the event of the season and
I'm afraid that the seating capacity at the
park will be severely tested. My men will
practice night and morning until next
Thursday and barring accidents and sick
ness the following team will face Ansons

Quinn, Dunlap and Glasscock Oh bases;
AlvOrd, shortstop; Boyle, left field; Bandle,
center field, and Shafer, right field. Swee-
ney, Dunlap, Briody, Glasscock and Shafer
the public know. The youngsters are Quinn,
Boyle, Bandle and Alvord. Quinn is all
excellent first baseman, but little short in
reach, is from Dubuque, Ia, where he
played until engaged by the st. Louis
Unions. He played brilliant game last
season and ranked fair as a batter. Boyle,
who is great out-felder and change
pitcher, is from the ActiveS of Reading and
was engaged last season by the st. Louis
Unions on their Eastern trip. He is strong
batter. Bandle is from last years Union
Pacifics of Omaha, and is a strong batter
and a good fielder. He was engaged on his
record. Alvord is from the Omahas also,
and is a comparatively new player, so new
that he is subject to the nervousness that
occasionally produces costly errors, but
when this wears off it is believed that he
will show up strong.

ator WADE HAMPTON of South Carolina, comes
the story, told by her friends, which contra

wife of an American senator. When 16 years
old RHEA had the first and only romance of
her life, which was passionate reality, and
is still buried in her heart. She loved coun-
tryman of hers still young, though ten years
older than the girl just budding into woman
hood. She had known him from childhood,
and they had grown up together as brother
and sister. She used to spend her holidays
with his family in the country, and then there
came time that affection changed into love,
and after one year of ideal happiness in con-
TEN plating a blissful union, he died at the age

NOTWITHSTANDING the criticisms on Mr..
BAYARD's appointments of foreign ministers
and consuls it must be conceded that he is
giving the country the most respectable di-
plomatic service it has had for quarter OF q
century. If he made mistake in the ap-
pointment of Gen. LAwTON it was only a
technical error, and yet the general impress
sion is that Mr.. BAYARD was right and the
Republican senate was wrong. In the matter
of Mr.. KELLEY appointment twas only a rep
itition of Mr.. LINCOLN'S mistake in appoint
ing Mr.. BURLINGAME to the Austrian mis-
sion. If, as alleged, Mr.. BAYARD seeks to
pave his way to the presidency by his diplo-
matte appointments it shows very little po-
itical shrewdness, as it is not usual for a
candidate when laying the wires for nomi-
nation to send all his friends away to foreign
countries instead of providing good places at
home for them where they could be really
serviceable. Taking it altog ether it looks as
if there was more malevolence in the criti-
cisms on the secretary of state than any just
foundation for them.
