as there is no convenient medium for the

Getting Into Chicaco,

When the Wisconsin Central opened up
in st. Paul for business it had no line into
Chicago. Its line extended east to Schleis-
ingersville. and from that point to Chicago
it was compelled to depend upon the Chi
cagO, Milwaukee IL st. Paul road, and the
right to run in over that road was only OBJ
tanned by agreeing not TO take any through
business from st. Paul and Minneapolis.
All along from its establishment here in st.
Paul it has been hard at work endeavOring
10 get an independent line of its own
through from Schleisingersville to Chicago,
and has at last about accomplished this. 1t
has run line south from Schleisingersville
to Waukesha and SO along down TO Chi
cago. and at the beginning of this week it
had but eight miles of track to lay to reach
the Garden City. The line will be wholly
laid probably by the end of this week. and
it is expected that it will require from forty
to sixty days to ballast the track and place
it in good condition. The company will
not try to run trains over till the road bed
is in first-class condition. The Wisconsin
has no independent line to Milwaukee, and
if it cannot get satisfactory terms over the
Milwaukee road to that city. it will con-
struct its own road from Waukesha and go
in on its own responsibility. 1t is going to
both Milwaukee and Chicago, and in such
way as to be at liberty to take all the freight
that offers, wherever 1t comes from.

CIINtRtNG down,

The Washington correspondent of tine
New York World says that the stories of
excessive extravaganza at the national capi-
tai are all the inventions of sensational cor
respondents. The story of the S500,000
check which Col. OLIVER PAYNE was re-
ported TO have given to his sister, Mrs.
Secretary WHITNEY, to be expended in
social enjoyment, is denied. Such dazzling
generosity is too much for even the heir APP
parent to the Standard Oil monarchy. IL
is known that Secretary WHITNEY is the
most generous entertainer of all the
official nabobs in Washington, and it is
asserted that the limit of his expenditure
for social purposes will not exceed $4,000
a year. In view of the fact that eX-Sena-
tor PENDLEToN always spent $4,000 a
year during his residence in Washington Is
cited as proof that Washington society has
caught the spirit of Tetrenchment and re-
form, and is inaugurating a more economic
era. While it is gratifying to observe that
there is disposition to retrench in the
matter of social extravaganza at the
national capital, it must be admitted
that it is still long ways above the bed
$50. 900 year limit. III a man has $4,000
and wants to spend it in giving social enter
tanments it is nobody's business but his
own, unless he holds a public station.
There his position is exemplary and he
ought to be careful in what he teaches by
his example. The idea that the highest
purpose of official life at Washington is to
afford an opportunity for social eXtrava-
gance is false one and is doing
an immense deal toward fastening corrup-
ton in its various forms in the administra-
ton of the government. The desire to keep
up with the dazzling career of the million
aire congressman or cabinet officer is the
temptation which makes a rascal Of many
an impecunious statesman. There is no
valid reason why millionaire should not
be a congressman or a cabinet officer, but
there is valid reason why he should not
un-Americanize himself by making his resi-
dence at the national capital one continuous
round of absurd extravaganza and eXtrava-
CANT absurdity.

Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette.
Hon. Lewis Baker, for many years proprie-
tor OF the Wheeling Register, but now OF the
ST. Paul GLOBE, stopped last night ut the
Union depot on his way TO New York His
paper Is going TO erect new building, and
he is going East for pointers on the big
newspaper Offices there. Mr.. Baker is the
member of the National Democratic commit
tee from West Virginia, and has been very
prominently identified with state and national
politics for twenty-five years. Speaking OF
the estimate Of the party of Cleveland's adj
ministration he said: Il think the president
is better, much better than his party. l
think he is entirely honest and sincere i'm his
actions. IL he keeps on in the course he
has marked out he will compel the party 10
renominate him in 1885. or 10 place IL I'm a
dubious position. Both in the interviews /
have had with him, and in correspondence, l
have eXhorted him TO adhere to his course
and not To let the horde Of ofiice-seekers in
huence him. It is true that some Demo-
Gratis think he has not made the proper
haste in making removals, but he has done
well. and, To tell the truth, L like TO see them
have 10 wait. The cry against the president
does not come from the bstter element of the
party, and he can ignore 4 great many of the
how!s. He is firm and sold when he takes u
stand"

has furnished the Associated Press a long
statement of the cause which led to
the strike on the Missouri Pacific road in
answer to the statements by Mr.. HoXie and
the governors of Missouri and Kansas that
there were no grievances. The essential
points made are:
The chief provisions of the contract of March,
1885, between the roads and the Knights of
Labor were: First, That the wages of Sep
TENDER, 1884, were to be the basis, with one
and one-half time for Sunday work
and overtime; second, no mans wages
were to be reduced without thirty DAYS
notices that contract was to be observed on
all roads under the Missouri Pacific. namely,

the present consideration. That con-
tract has been broken, violated and
Ignored time after time, to-wit. tn many
cases the September wages were never re-
stored. as the agreement provided. Section
foremen were reduced SIS per month without
any notice, boilermakers were sent out on the
road from Deuison and all received only one
half time while travelling; engine-wipers in
round-houses were reduced from 81 60 to
81 Is per day.
The Cur foreman at Fl. Worth was reduced
GU per iuuutu anu nuu 10 40 the work or two
men, Tor which the company had previously
paid double what they paid him. The fore
man in the mill mt De Soto

without notice. Carmen at Parsons were
reduced $40 per month without notice
Many of the men worked over the entire re-
Rion eleven and twelve hours per day with
out extra compensation. Check clerks in
freight houses were reduced So per month
without notice. Men were dis
charged on no other grounds than
that they had taken part in the
strike of 1884, and new men were employed
in their places at less wages. A systematic
method of discharging in detail and replacing
with cheaper men was being carried out,
which, If allowed ia go on, would have re-
suited in bringing them back to the re-
ducdon basis against which they struck in
1888. They assert that they stand ready TO
prove all their assertions; that they bore
with their wrongs as long as they could; that
they repeatedly sought redress in vain, being

pose, and that finally, in sheer desperation,

rub 1t with salt. The child from some dis
ease had sore OH the top OF its head,
INTO which he would pour spirits of turpen-

stun a raw potato in it's mouth, and in some
instances 1t had been made to eat its own

things were brought out i'll evidence, and
the child was produced. 1t WIS a sickly
and puny one. Its face was discolored, and
the flesh on the inside Of its mouth was
almost putrid. On top of its head was

as two silver dollars This was

Mankato, March %.
BLACKSTONE attributes the honor of in
venting these artificial beings to the Romans
and refers their original to the time of
NUNA. According to PLUTARcH. NUsIA
found upon his succession the city torn to
pieces by the rival factions of Romans and
Sabines and thought it best to subdivide
the two into many smaller ones by institu-
ting societies of every trade and profession.
But this was a mere classification of the
people without any of the essential Incl
dents of a corporation. The true original OF
corporations is probably in the middle ages
when cities, towns and fraternities OF
tradesmen obtained charters from feudal
sovereigns. Corporations may be dissolved
in several ways, as for instance: First
By expiration of the limit of the charter as
n the case Of National banks. Secondly
the death of all their members. Thirdly
surrender of charter. Fourth-By repeal Of
the charter. Fifth-By judgment of some
competent court pronouncing forfeiture OF
corporate rights for misuser or non-user Of
franchises.

GODFREY THE FIEND.

GLOBE a few days ago that the state
authorities had 4 clue to the whereabouts of
a negro whose cruelty was conspicuous dur
ing the Indian massacre OF 1862. the Da-
kOta Citizen, published at Scotland, Oak.
says the negro's name was GODFREY, and
that he now resides on the Santee reserva-
ton, in Nebraska. The Citizen says this
same GODFREY, who is now living on the
Santee reservation with a squaw, and rec.

Another Disagreement.

CHICAGO, March 24.-The Central Traffic
association held a meeting here to-day.
Little important action was taken except
to decide upon the appointment of an ex-
ecutive, with functions similar to those of
the joint association committee of the
Eastern trunk lines, and to consist of one
or more of each sub-pOOl. The passenger
representatives of the roads in the asSOcia-
ton met in the afternoon aud endeavOred
to prolong their organization. Such radical
differences developed that nothing definite
was accomplished. Another meeting will
be held tomorrow.
Arrangements were made whereby Com
missioner Blanchard will have full control
OF the Chicago freight, thus putting an end
of sending of statistics by the Chicago lines
to Commissioner Fink at New York. To
assist in this sixteen of Commissioner
Fink's best checking clerks and statisticIans
will be sent to this city.
