THE BLAINE CRAZE.
Thad Pound Finds it Hard to Ex-
plain.

plain.
Special to the Globe.
EAU CLAIRE, Oct. 2.-Hon. Thad G.
Pound, of Chippewa Falls who has just
returned from an extended tour in the East,
spent yesterday in Eau Claire, looking up
points on business enterprise in which he
is interested. Mr. Pound spent some time
in Washington. New Y ork and other DO
litical centers, and paid some attention to
the drift OF political feeling. He remarked
especially upon a curious fact, which was
to him quite ncomprehensible, viz. That
the blaine craze" was still rampant in the
Republican party throughout the country.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. Pound, a life
long Republican, deserted the party in 1884
because he could not stomach Blaine. 1t
has been said that the reason why he did so
was the failure of his almost successful
ambition to be secretary of the interior
under Garfield, which failure was attrib-
uted to the opposition of Blaine, but Mr..
Pound based his refusal to support Blaine
simply upon an impeachment of Mr..
Blaine's honesty as a public servant. Mr..
Pound states. as a result of his recent
observations, and he states it appar-
emily with as much disgust as
surprise, that Republican sensiment seems
to be practically unit for Blaine in 1885,
He says that Republican expressions, which
he has heard in favor of Logan. have been
very few and far between, and that. unless
the feeling changes. there will be no show
for Logan in 1888. The Blaine craze showed
that the party was not yet prepared to rec
ogniZe the necessity of unsuIlied integrity
as a requisite in the character Of a nominee
for such b Oh public station. He regret
ted to see that the Republican infatuation
for Blaine was apparently as hopeless as
ever, as he had no more faith in Blaine as
a man or as politician, than he had when
he refused to support the Maine statesman
in 1884. He thought Republican success
in Wisconsin this fall was beyond reason
able doubt He added that his alienation
from the Republican party had not been
caused, as is frequently stated. by any per-
sOnal feeling ON his part, or any disap-
pointed ambition, but solely by his repug-
nance to utilization with party which had
made an unpardOnably bad choice of pres
idential candidate.

NCRFEwESTERN CROPS.
Minnesota Wheat Moving Slowly ~
The Condition of Corn.

EEae Condition OF Corn.
CAICAGo, Oct. 3.-The following crop
summary will appear in this weeks issue
Of the Farmers Review:
The crop returns for the week. in a gen.
eraI way, show that corn is well matured
throughout the entire Western belt, and
sufficiently so to withstand the heavy frOsts
of the last three days of the week. In
Missouri and Kentucky the corn is ready for
husking and cribbing. In Iowa and Illinois
huSking Will begin about Oct. 10, The re-
ports showing the average yield vary but
slightly from the former estimates, which
are considerably under those of the preceding
five years. In fifteen Illinois counties four
report 20 bushels to tue acre, i've report %
bushels three 80 bushels two 40 bushels,
and one so bushels In seventeen counties of
Iowa, one reports 10 bushels. three 10 bushels,
two 20 bushels, four 30 bushels, one 40 bushels,
and two 40 bushels. The average continues
good for Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, and low
in Wisconsin, Missouri and Kansas. Flowing
for the fall sowing OF wheat is progressing,
and in many portions of Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas and Kentucky, is completed, and
some seeding has already been done. The
wheat movement in Dakota is now light,
great deal of wheat having already been
marketed. The ruling prices are 30 to 80 cents
per bushel. The movement is slow in Mime
sofa at 80 to So cents. In Illinois very little
wheat is being solid, with prices so to IS
cents. In Iowa the wheat movement is fair
1t 80 to 90 cents. Considerable wheat is
being marketed in Ohio at % to rs cents. In
Missouri the wheat movement has fallen off,
with ruling prices at 30 to ~ cents. In Kan
sas there is scarcely any wheat moving, with
prices 80 TO 20 cents. In Michigan wheat is
freely marketed at 90 to 70 cents. In Wiscon-
sin there is a fair movement at So to 70 cents.
The tenor of the reports show that hogs gen.
orally are healthy, with somewh hat lighter
run than usual. while cattle are looking bet
ser with improved pasturage.

A SUDDEN COLLARRE.
The Plan to Form a south w ester.
Gross MONEY POeI Falls Through.

Gress m Oncy POel Falls Through.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-The proposed plal
for forming gross money pool on South
western passenger business, which has alb
sorbed the attention of the magnates OF
Southwestern roads throughout the past
week. has fallen through, and now the sue
cessful organization of pool is practically
as far away as ever. 1t required four days
to bring about an agreement on the first
section of the proposed question. The
vexati0us point was finally settled by a
compromise, and yesterday the meeting
proceeded with the consideration of the
rest of the plan. The percentage clause
was pointed out in advance as the rock on
which negotiations would go to pieces, and
so it proved. A long and fruitless dis
cussion followed the reading of the per-
centage clause. The Wabash road moved
to submit the question to arbitration. The
Chicago & Alton has always been opposed
to this method of settling the percentage
question and was prompt in entering its
protest. Vice President McMullen said
that he was instructed by his company to
say that the Alton would not enter any
pooling arrangement for period OF more
than one year. This was thunderbOlt,
inasmuch as the expectation was that II a
pool was formed it would be for period of
at least three years. The Alton's repre-
sentative was requested to reiterate his
statement, which he did without hesitation,
and deliberations On the proposed plan
ceased instanter. Before separating, how
ever, the managers talked over the FEAST
bility of drawing up plan On the one year
basis and committee was appointed to
agree upon plan. The committee is TO
report at an early hour Monday, Oct. II,
if possible. Mr.. Thomas Thompson, for
some time past secretary to Commissioner
Wilson, was appointed acting commits
sioner until the existing agreement is a
thing of the past or until a new pool e is
formed.

Edward Wilson'S Aptitude.

Among the men promoted during the
past week in railroad circles is E. P. VIII
son, who assumed the duties of general
passenger agent of the Chicago & North
western road. and for assuming the respon
sibiIty of this position. Mr.. Wilson receives
the fattering remuneration of $500 per
arnum, which, coupled with the perquisites
of position of that kind, renders it one
that almost any one would be willing to
hold. 1t is probable. however, that there
is no man in railroad business to-day who
is more deserving of the position and salary
than is Mr.. Wilson. He has been con-
nected with the rails for years, and by
earnest industry he has piled up
a record behind him that gives
him an envisble reputation. Well
educated and possessing more than an
ordinary amount of common sense, he wins
the respect and admiration of all with
whom his business brings him in contact.
1t is reported that from his earliest child
hood he had tendency toward railroad
business. AS an illustration the following
story is told of him. His father was a
prosperous livery man, and when Edward
was a small boy he hung around the
stable great deal. One day his father had
several hundred cards printed. showing the
scale of prices at which he rented teams or
transferred people. He deposited pile of
the cards in the Office, and a half hour
later he discovered that they were nearly
all gone. He searched high and low for
the cards but was unable to find them, and
at last gave it up as mystery. About
noon he happened to go up into the hay
loft, and there, sitting on sack of oats
with the cards strewed around him. was
Edward with heavy pair of shears busily
engaged in cutting the cards into inch pieces.
By the time that he was discovered he had
managed to chop up two or three hundred
of the cards.
What are you doing, you snipe?' cried his
father, rushing angrily at him.
Cutting rates. the youngstor calmly re-
piled, as he continued to chop the cards.
The ready answer set his sire to thinking,
and he concluded that if the boy showed
such propensity for cutting rates at that
early age, he would make first-class rail-
road man. and when he had arrived at the
years of understanding he was put into a
railroad Office and taught the rudiments of
the business, in which he has since become
