HOME AGAIN.

The old Liberty Bell has at length re-
turned to its home at Philadelphia, after its
long journey through the South and will
again occupy its old place in Independence
hail. A great many people are disposed to
consider the respect paid to this ancient
piece of cracked metal as very absurd.
They look upon such demonstrations as ex-
hibitions of weak sentimentality. There
are others who would like to see the old
bell melted down and cast into new bell
more attractive to modern taste. But a
vast majority of the American people
prefer to have the historic relic preserved in
its present condition. No matter if it is
cracked and will never again utter tone.
Once it thrilled with the glad tidings of the
birth of the republic, and made the hearts
of patriots beat high. It is not a weakness

Railway Magnates i'm St. Paul.

Last night in room 80, at the Merchants
hotel, there was Charles Francis Adams,
Jr., president; S. r. Galloway, general
manager; TT. Kimball, general traffic
manager, and F. D. Willet of New York;
E. Garfield, Boston; G. M. Love, Cam
bridge, Mass, and 81. VintOn of Omaha,
directors of the Union Pacific railway. They
arrived in the early part of the evening via
the Northern Pacific railway from Portland,
to which place they went from Omaha.
Whether they were scheming or discussing
the superiority of the Northern Pacific
road they alone know, but the session lasted
until an early hour in the morning. They
will remain in St. Paul until Monday, when
they will meet President Harris of the
Northern Pacific road, who will arrive in
st. Paul from New York by that time. 1t
is probable that the matter of leasing the
Oregon Navigation will be rediscussed.
and some other matters relating to a more
intimate relationship between the two COM
panies to form stronger competition
against the Southern transcontinental lines
in through business, will be considered.

Proverbs of SAN, Jones.

The following are some of the latest

There are two kinds of talk we should not
indulge-smutty talk and gossip; OF the two,
though, would rather be smutty. One

destroy you.

TOO MUCH REQUIRED.

1t is all right that the State university
should have rigid system of examinations.
But it does seem that there is little too
much rigidity in a system which excludes
from admission to the freshman class the
graduates of the st. Paul high school, I'M
less they first submit to protracted exam
nation, and this, too, in face of the fact
that such institutions as Princeton, Union,
Williams and Ann ArbOr accept diploma
from the ST. Paul high school as sufficient
evidence of qualification for admission
without any additional tests. There can
certainly be no doubt in the minds of the
university authorities of the thOroughness
of our high school instruction. 1t is true
that the graduates of the high school can
very well submit to the examination re-
quired when seeking admission to the uni
versity, yet such action on the part of the
university is an unjust reflection upon the
honesty of the faculty and the thorough
ness of the system of our high school. We
are entitled to the same consideration at
home that we receive from colleges and
universities abroad.

THE failure OF the wheat crop in California
is said to be having discouragiug effect on
the farming interests of the Pacific slope. 1t
is probable that it will have the effect of
breaking up some of the baronial estates and
causing the ranches to be divided among the
small farmers. IT no worse results than that
follow the failure of the wheat crop, Califor-
MIA may have cause to rejoice that the crop
did fail. Bonanza farming is not good thing
for any country, and whatever tends to dis
courage it is fortunate. II California people
would give more attention to fruit and less to
wheat they might prosper better.

MILWAUKEE, June 19.-President Colby
of the Wisconsin Central railroad leaves for
the East. This trip, made so soon after his
return from an extended stay in that section,
has given rise to considerable gossip in rail-
road circles. 1t is assumed that MI. Colby's
present visit is intimately connected with a
prospective transfer OF the Chicago q
Evanston railroad to the Central manage
ment What gives an air of reliability to
the rumors is the fact that as yet the
Central people have received no reply
whatever from the ST. Paul management to
their demand for terminal facilities for
their through business here and in Chicago,
leaving their new line to st. Paul practl-
cally useless. Hence the need for an out
let. President Colby would this afternoon
have nothing to say in regard to the alleged
probable transfer of the Chicago q Evan
ston to the Central company. He admitted
his trip was partially on business, but what
that business was he did not care to di-
vulge.

Ballot-Box Thief Goes to Prison.

CHICAGO, June 19.-''Dutchy' O'Keefe,
the convicted thief who walked off with
the returns of the Third precinct of the
Third ward, withdrew his..motion for new
trial to-day, and asked to be sentenced at
once. He was accordingly sent down for
one year. 1t is stated that he has been
given big money to keep his mouth shut
O'Keefe, in charge of Deputy Sheriff
Gleason, was taken from jail to-day
and conveyed to the Joliet penitentiary.
To reporters who questioned him
concerning his crime and his sudden
withdrawal of motion for new trial he
had nothing to say. He appeared happy
after the handouts were put on him and he
entered the carriage amid encouraging
words from a large number of friends, who
were there to bid him goodbye. The crime
for which O'Keefe was convicted was COM
mitted the day following the mayoralty
contest in April, and the Republicans allege
that O'Keefe was in the pay of Harriso-
MAN supporters. 1t so happened that Har-
rison's majority was not materially affected
by the loss of these ballots.

Several amendments and additions to
tariffs and classifcations will take effect
from July 1, 1885. On account Of tunnels
and snow sheds it is necessary to refuse to
haul west of the eastern termini all box cars
exceeding the following measurements:
Length, 35 feet; height, IL feet six inches;
width, if height is not more than IL feet from
top of rail- 10 feet; if height is over IL feet
and not over IL feet inches from top of rail,
maximum width will be feet inches.
The minimum weights provided for light
and bulky freights given in Pacific coast
classification are based on cars not measur-
ing over thirty feet, outside measurement.
On cars exceeding thirty feet the minimum
weight will be raised proportionately, or
31s per cent. for each additional foot in
length. Roads in the association give
notice that they will not pay mileage for the
use of cars exceeding thirty feet in length,
owned by individuals or by corporations
other than regular transportation COM

launch any boat or barge likely ever to be
built for the upper river trade. The last
soundings were satisfactory, and there is a

Some time ago the merchants and bust
ness men of Omaha claimed that they were
Disseminated against by the lines east Of
the Missouri river in favor of Council Bluffs.
The trouble was that the Union Pacific
road, which owns the railway bridge at
Omaha, charged toll of cents per 100
pounds on all freight crossing the river.
The rates to both points have now been
made the same and the Union Pacific for
the present is assuming the toll; so as not
to have Omaha merchants Disseminated
against.
