NO AGREEMENT MADE,
The Managers Meeting in Chicago Re,
suits in Nothing.
NO NEARER THAN BEFORE.
There Is But Little Hope for Peacs
or Restoration of
Rates.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-''The more VIZ
talked the wider we were apart said
member Of the conference committee of
the Western railroads this evening.
The days session had come to a close
without any results i'll the way Of an
agreement upon report. and the COM
mlttee adjourned until Tuesday next.
The members have been considering
proposition to reOIganiZe the North
western Freight association, bringing
III all OF the outside lines, and giving
the chairman greater authority than
under the old contract. 1t was the idea
10 perfect this agreement, then modify
II 80 as 10 apply to the Western and
southwestern associations. keeping the
three separate, and then to provide an
adjusting board before which should
come all questions affecting the COM
mon interest. The prevailing opinion
Tonight IS that report will be reached
next week, but that when submitted to
the general managers the latter will
disagree, and that there is but little
nope for peace or restoration of rates
before the 1st of Nav. The
JOINT rate committee, charged with
carrying out the recent agreement
between the Eastern and Western
roads which prohibit false billing. false
classification, and other tricks and de-
vices, met to-day and decided TO hang
up the agreement or suspend the Joint
auditor and his working force until such
tline as the cessation of the Western
rate war would allow the agreement TO
be enforced. The general passenger
agents OF the ChicagO-KansaS City lines
met to-day and agreed that the S27. 80
passenger rate, Kansas CITY to New
York, via Chicago, should only be made
good east of Chicago over the Chicago
IL Grand Trunk, Chicago IL Atlantic
ana Niagara Falls line, unless the other
roads would agree TO give the Western
INES their full proportion of the old 81
rate. A prominent official of the Min
nesota Il Northwestern intimated that
ais company will shortly force the fight
ing among competitors by cutting pas
Senger rates between Chicago. St. PauI
ana the Northwest. Such a step would
still further cOmplicate matters between
the lighting lines. A proposition was
made at t0-day's meeting of the confer
ence committee of Western lines to SUBJ
NIT Tor inspection all contracts made at
cut rates, but was voted down. It is as
serted that several of the lines have
made contracts with shippers at present

TRUST TYRANNY.

In the light of the facts brought out
by an article upon trusts which will
appear in to-morrow's GLOBE, the farm
er of Minnesota, the laborer, the con-
sumner and the producer of any class,
and even the merchant, can readily see
that under the present high protective
tariff they are at the mercy of the greedy,
eVer-graSping octopus, Monopoly.
PlowS. reapers, threShers, nails, iron,
stoves, sugar, household goods and I'M
plementS are all in the hands of great
combines" which have the producer
and retailer by the throat as surely as
they have the consumer.
What good schooling those gentle
tlemen of the sugar trust, steel rails
trust, pillow trust, stove trust, even the
castor oil trust, and all the other trusts,
must have received from the Standard
Oil company.
No wonder the presidential message
has proved to be the most interesting,

issued 10y the executive of the nation.
Some day the farmer, who is the pro-
Queer direct, and the laborer, who con-
StituteS the great consuming element in
the readiest apprehension of the word

box. They will then decide either for
the perpetuatiOn of monopoly or the
beginning of competition.
When 4 trust has possession of the
necessity in demand, and asks any
price at all for it, what are you going to
do about it?

Got His job Back,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Yesterday
afternoon at o'clock John 3. Lynch, a
Waterman in the money order building
of the postOffice department, received
notification of his dismissal. He went
home, got his records and discharge pa
perS as a private soldier and carried
them to Mir. Enright, the superintend-
ent of the building. The records
showed that he had served throughout
the civil war with distinction, had been
wounded at Antietam and, being dis
abled for field duty. had been appointed
orderly to Secretary Stanton. After the
battle of the Wilderness, when Grant
had not been heard from for seven days,
Lynch was intrusted by President Lin
coin with the dangerous task of con-
veying dispatches to Grant. Lynch
succeeded in his mission and brought
back Grants answer, which contained
the famous sentence. Il will fight it out
on this line if it takes me all summer"
On learning these facts, Mr.. Enright
promptly reinstated Lynch, within an
hour of his receipt of the notification of

DENIES THE CHARGE.
The Wagner Car Company Says
There Was No IDf,rinoemeDt

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-The Wagner Pal
ace Car company and the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern Railway company
filed their answer in the federal court
yesterday to the bill of the Pullman
Palace Car company, which seeks to re-
strain an alleged Infringement BIZ the
Wagner company of the vestibule car.
The defendants deny that Sessions was
the first and original inventor of the de-
vice as claimed by the Pullmans. but, on
the contrary, it is claimed that there
were sixteen English and eighteen Uni
ted States patents containing the ma
terial parts of the Sessions invention.
The invention had been known and
used long before by the Michigan Cen
trail. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and
the Lake Shore Il Michigan Southern
roads. The Sessions patent is also al
legged to be useless. and it is claimed
that the description contained on the
patent is insufficient to enable any one
to construct it. The utility of the Ses-
slOns patent is contrOverted. and its al
legged value in collisions is said to be a
myth.

THE MAN IN DEBT.

Insomnia is word derived from the
two Latin words in, signifying not, and
somnus, signifying sleep. Inability to
sleep-wakefulness.
ITS CAUSE AND CURE.
There are three classes of persons to
be found in the world when brought
down to a financial basis. The first
class have more money than they can eX-
pend, the second spend more money
than they have, and hence are in debt all
the tune; while the members of the third
class live economically, and by so doing
are not only able to make both ends
meet, but also to lay up a small amount
every week to meet any extraordinary
expenditure which may become neces-
sary OH account of sickness, scarcity of
work, etc. When the days work is
over the members of this class retire for
the night and sleep soundly until the
o'clock whistle OF the alarm clock calls
them to labor again. Not so with the
other two classes. Both are equally
wakeful, but from quite different causes.
The man with surplus of this worlds

gins 10 Imagine that corner in Wall
street, storm at sea, grand cOnfagra-
ton, and thousand other causes, may

money, ETC., his brain becomes feverish:
sleep comes not at his bidding: he rolls
and losses about i'll his bed until his eX-
hauSted frame sinks away into impeI-

pursuit of the almighty dollar.

same Sleepless experience of the night
before. lime passes Oh. He notices
that his nervous system is out of order.
lie sends for his family physician and
is told that he is threatened with entire
prostratiOn and that rest is necessary
softening of the brain follows, he suicides
or dies. His only regret is that he can
not carry his accumulations with him,
but pockets are not made in shrOudS. Is
there cure for this? Yes, easy and
simple. Sell part of your stocks and
bonds and give to the poor. Aid schools,
colleges and charitable institutions.
Unload your worldly possessions to such
an extent as. to free your mind from
thought of them, and sweet sleep will
come and your life will be prolonged in
consequence of mental freedom.
The members of the second class lose
sleep, not because of possessions. but
for the want of them. Notes are due
tomorrow and there is no money within
reach to pay them. The fact fastens it
self upon the mind and sleep is out of
the question. This can be cured by the
exercise of greater economy, getting the
notes out CT the way and then, by living
within your means, sleep will come with
its good influences upon the mind and
body, and health, happiness and long
life will be the final result. Y. Y.Z.

One Begets Another.
New York Times.

new 10TH
The story of the sugar trust shows
how a combination of a few greedy re-
finers can collect tax from the people
of great nation. The figures pre-
scented indicate that in only four months
this monopoly has taken profits which
are enormous. But a trade monopoly
or trust exercises an injurious and OPP
presSive power in more than one direc-
ton. Consumers not only are made to
pay tribute, but also are virtually for
hidden to become producers in the field
which the ring holds. Sometimes, too,
the ring depresses the price of its raw
material while it raises the price of its
finished product, and thus wrongs sell
erS as well as buyers. Such action NAV
compel the formation of another trust
to control the raw material. SO one
such monopoly begets another. For ex-
ample. the steelmakers by concerted ac-
ton raise the price of the steel parts of
a pillow; then the plOwmakers form a
kind of pool to exact higher prices from
the farmers,
