the residence of Mr.. C.P. Huntington to-day.
Mr.. Huntington. when asked about it, said:
''Yes, MIR. Strong and Mr.. Adams were both
here, but the affair could hardly be called
meeting because nothing positive was done
about a settlement of the existing difficulties.
We talked over the situation in q friendly way
and several points which had not been well
understood were explained. do not like to
say that we came to an understanding or that
a settlement is sure, because so many things
might occur which would upset our
plans, but / think it is safe to say
that there will probably be a settlement

been arranged for, but correspondence will
be continued, as it has been for several
weeks past. thought we were near a set
tlement when we had the last meeting, but
certain things came into the discussion which
prevented. Our ships, carrying about 5000
tons by measure, which means 1000 tons dead
weight, and perhaps one-fourth of this freight
was for through points, the balance being
for Louisiana and Texas points, where
the rates were not cut. So we
have made money on every vessel
which has gone out. OF course we have lost
great deal on the through business, but
would feel that my fifty years of experience
was wasted If we could not carry on a fight
on one of our lines for twelve months Any
way before a settlement can be made our
traffic managers will have TO settle the de-
tails. 1 think that Mr.. Strong and Mr..
Adams have returned to Boston,"

ANOTHER MIX.

just as the people of the United States
were congratulating themselves upon the
supposed termination of the great strike and
the resumption of business along the lines
of railway where the strike prevailed they
are awakened to realization of the fact
that the difficulty between the laborers and
the railway companies is further from settle
ment than it ever was. This unfortunate
condition of affairs is due to the duplicity
practiced by Jay Gould and to the num-
Jcull leaders of the labor organization who
Jailed to see that the old fox was playing a
sharp trick on them. Gould shrewdly
ROTded his communications so that he
would leave a hole to crawl out of
his agreement for an arbitration. And,
rue to his instincts, he has crawled out,
Notwithstanding he left the impression on
POwDERLY'S mind that when he used the
words employees of the road he intended
t to embrace the strikers who were ex-
pected to be reinstated before the arbitra-
lion was commenced While it is appar-
tnt that the strikers were entrapped by
GOULD into an agreement which admits of
\ construction different from what they
placed upon it, still it is their duty TO live
up to it. 1t is not creditable to the labor
organization to plead the baby act in this
instance. 1t would be great deal
more to their credit to frankly
acknowledge that they were fooled
In the matter, but having made the ayr ee
ment for better or worse, to live up to it.
1t would be infinitely better to accept the
situation just as they have unwittingly Gre
ated it than to fly off in pet as their cir
cular indicates they are going to do. 1t
will not help their situation to call JAY
GOULD hard names. Everybody knows
him, and the wonder is that the Knights of
Labor were so easily enticed into his trap.
But they are there by their own voluntary
act, and they will have to make the most of
1t. They will have to trust to
luck for some future opportunity to
even up with JAY GOULD for the
trick he has played on them. The
business interests of the country have too
much at stake to permit any more foolish
ness in this matter. The strikers have had
their deal and lost the trick. Now if they
want to command public respect and SYM
pathy they will have to abide by the result
OF thelr own pad playing. Their best
policy now is to declare the strike off and
let the business go ahead as though nothing
had happened. The labor organization is
new and must expect to learn many
valuable lessons in the school of eXpe-
Renee. The lesson that JAY GOULD
has Just taught them will be of
lncalculabe value in the future.
Hereafter they will be sure to spot their
game before they capture it. In the future
they will be sure of their man before they
have dealings with him, and will be
careful to understand the meaning of
contracts before they enter into
them. A little patience and level
medicines will be worth good deal more
to the cause of the labor organizations at
this time than all the temper and vindic-
tiveness that can be displayed. This is the
time for them to keep cool. not to get mad.

PILLsBURY's KNow-NoTHINGIsM

PILLSBURY'S KNOW-NOTHINGIS
Ii Mayor PILLsBURY is an honest advO-
cate of woman suffrage there is no just rea-
son why he should couple his espousal of
the cause with reflection upon the intelli-
gence and honesty of the foreigners who
come to our country to find permanent
home. During the more than century OF
its existence our government has stood with
open arms appealing to the down-trodden
people of Europe to come over TO us and
enjoy the blessings of free institutions which
were denied to them III their native land.
In response to that appeal they have come
by the thousands and by the millions, and by
their energy our forests have been cleared
away and our cities built mp. 1t is true
that the majority of them have brought
with them little else than good strong arms
and brave honest hearts, but these strong
arms and brave hearts have been a more
valuable acquisition than gold and silver
would have been. Their labor has added
so much to the permanent wealth of the
nation. In fact the immigrant foreigner
has been the fountain of supply to the
wealth and population of the United States,

address to the woman suffrage convention.
as "a most ignorant and debased class, who
came from foreign shores to sell their votes
at SO a head" The day has passed by
when Know-nothing sentiments find a re-
spouse in this country. The fact that
Mayor PILLsBURY still clings to them is
evidence of an old-fogyism that totally dis
qualities him for the chief magistracy of
young city which is just expanding into
greatness, wealth and power under the
progressive influence of Western enterprise.
The city of Minneapolis is largely depend
ent upon its foreign population for its pros
perity. The Irish and Germans and the
Scandinavians have contributed to the city's
marvellous growth and progress, and yet
they are spoken of by the city's mayor as
san ignorant and debased people who sell
their votes for 50 a head" 1t is proper
that such illiberal sentiments be rebuked,
and we are mistaken in the people of our
twin sister city if they are not rebuked in
a way that Mr.. PILLBURY will have Occa-
sion to remember.

THE MINNEAPOLIS CAMPAIGN.


The Minneapolis political pot Is begin
ming to boil. The mayoralty contest is
growing interesting The llid-glove gentry
who constitute the ring that has been
gouging the people of that city under the
hypocritical pretense of a reform admins
tration discover that their hypocrisy has
been unveiled. and that an indignant people,
who have been outraged by them. are after
scalps. They are terrified to find that
the opposition which a few DAYS ago
they derisively spoke of as "Ames' dinner
pale brigade" has grown into the proper
tons of mighty army of outraged voters
who are determined TO dethr0ne the silk
stocking bosses. A peoples government
where every honest man has fair chance
doesn't suit the ringsters who have been
growing fat at public expense. But it does
suit the majority of voters, and they are
going to have it in spite of the Doodle cam
paign which the ring bosses have inaugur-
ated. On the 9th and 9TH pages of this

Cutting Rates.

The history of tue existence of the North
western Traffic association is familiar to all
who have read the GLOBE. The object of
that organization was to keep up rates be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul. Its existence
Is terminated and Notwithstanding the APP
parent efforts to keep up rates that have
Deen made all this time, they have at last
game all to pieces. The general denial that
was made by all the lines that there was
any cutting on st. Paul freights was made
in face of the fact that for the last two
months irregularities were known to exist.
MEETING FOR PROMISES IN ST, PAUL.
Knowing OF these irregularities all the
roads were represented in ST. Paul last
Iuesday, two days ago, to give all the rep
resentatlves OF the roads an opportunity to
renew their promises and substantially take
anew the oath of allegiance to the Traffic
association. They were in session all day.
and talked the matter all over. No one
could be found that had violated the agree
ment. Each representative of each road
seemed to make special effort to render
the meeting serious and solemn. They all
declared that they would not ship goods ex-
cept at regular rates before Tuesday next,
and that they would OH that day meet in
Chicago and endeavor to settle the whole
be satisfactory. The very next morning
after that meeting the promises made
the day before were violated most
unceremoniously and without the slightest
hesitancy. 1t was known early on
"Wednesday that cuts had been made, and
the freight agents were called upon hele for
information, but they all denied it, and
asserted that rates were being SOlidly MAIN
tanned in good faith. This was not true,
and the facts in regard to the cut were
given in the GLOBE yesterday morning.
Yesterday morning the cutting was made
openly and without any appearance of con-
cealment, yet one of the roads in st. Paul.
when called upon yesterday afternoon de-
MED that there was any cutting and de-
clared that the agreement was being lived
up to in good faith.

The Milwaukee road it seems. found
yesterday morning that the agreement had
