solemnly declare that, according to the
very best light we can obtain on the
subject, there is no winning ticket for
the Republicans. Nor do we believe
that it is within the ingenuity of man to
name one that would have ghost OF
chance against GROVER CLEVELAND or
his tariff reform platform.
If we were disposed to go into the
business of constructing Republican
tickets we might present variety from
which Republican voters might select
their choice. If we simply wanted to
tickle the Minnesota Republicans we
might suggest the following ticket:
For president, ALEXANDER RAMSEY.
of st. Paul; for vice president, WILL
lam d. WAsHBURN, of Minneapolis, OF
vice versa. If we proposed to name
ticket purely as an exponent OF genuine
Republican ideas, we would suggest one
or the other of the following comblna-
tons: For president, Standard Oil
RoCBERFELLER; for vice president,
Pig Iron KELLEY: or for president, DON
CAMERON, of Pennsylvania; for vice
president, LOREN FLETCHER, OF Mime
sofa. AS m0nopolieS and bosses constl-
tute the sum total of Republican princl-
pies, the fitness of either of the fofego-
ing tickets is apparent. If, however,
we were to suggest a ticket that the he
publicans need not be ashamed OF, even
in the overwhelming defeat that IS sure
to oyertake the party i'll November, we
would cali it GRESHAM and HAWLEY.

APEOPLE'S TRUST.

There is one trust that ought to be
formed, and that is peoples trust. 1t
is a combination that is not only legiti-
mate but yitally necessary. 1t is the
only way the people can successfully
combat the various trusts formed by the
monopolists for the robbing of the peO
pie. In the peoples trust every con-
sumner in the country should with his
vote contribute to it's success. Self-in-
terest, of course, would be the basis of
its organization, but it would be an en-
lightened self-interest, which every citi-
zen, not himself a monopolist, should
possess.
The first object of attack to be Sc
leeted by the peoples trust should be
the present Ubiquitous tariff. 1t is pos
sible, though fortunately not probable,
that the mcnOpolists, who are not yet
through picking the people, may defeat
the passage of the present tariff reduc-
ton bill, or so load it down with amend
ments as to practically nullify it. Then
the trust should let its voice be heard.
1t should denounce every candidate
and every section Of party fayoring
the monopoiists' platform. Acting thus
unanimously, the people will accomp-
lish without fail the object for which
their trust will be organized. After
that victory they can take their time
about knocking each individual trust in
the head, but the downfall of all is GER
tain with the keystone, which made
possible their erection, destroyed.
That is the kind of trust that ought
to be organized without delay, and
which every newspaper in the land,
save the monopolist organs, should
favor

Oh. WON'T THEY?

We learn from Republican contem-
porary that when the bill for the reduc-
ton of the tariff comes to vote it is
pretty certain Congressman NELSON and
LIND won't vote for it, but will virtually
cast their ballots for continuance of
the present notwithstanding system
against which the people of the West
without regard to politics have been
crying.
We venture the belief that our con-
temporary places too slight an estimate
upon the intelligence Of these two Min
nesetians.
Both Mr.. LIND and Mr.. NELSON are
understood to have further political
aspirations. Mr.. LIND desires to be re-
tanned in his present agreeable position,
and Mr.. NELSON seeks for promotion.
Each of them knows very well that the
sentiment of Minnesotians, and espe-
cially of those living in the districts
which they represent in congress, is
overwhelmingly in favor of a reduction
of the present onerOus tariff.
They know that if they would right
fully represent those districts they must
also represent the sentiment prevailing

Meade Released

SAN FRANCISCO, March 12.-Word
was received here to-day from Ell Paso,
Tex, to the effect that United States
Marshal Meade, of Altoona, whose ar
rest by the Mexican authorities at Janos,
state of Chihuahua, was reported Sat
urday, has been released from custody.
The arms of Meade and his party were
taken from them, and they were al
lowed to walk about town, but not tn
leave it. 1t is understood that Meade
and his party were not arrested because
of being in pursuit of train robbers. but
because they went into Mexico with
horses and arms without being examined
by Mexican custom authorities. 1t Is
understood Gov COrollo, of Chihuahua,
promised to assist in every way posi-
bic any United States officer in pursuit
of robbers, if he should present tha
proper papers, and the governor SAYS
he will lay the whole affair before tho
general government at the City OF
Mexico.

freight brakeman and a Pullman pas
Senger, whose names could not be

other passengers escaped with a severe

jumped the track before the Hagmau

storm was raging in the mountains. and
the crew on the freight train were al
most frozen. The wires are all down.
and particulars of the accident are mea-

later dispatch says the express, which
was coming east, was behind time, and
was running at the rate of forty-five
miles an hour. Three Pullman ears
were wrecked and three passengers in

CHAMBERLA1N's PROTECTION

"JOE" CHAMBERLAIN, the English
fisheries commissioner, seems to fancy
that he occupies a good deal larger
share of public attention than he really
does. 1t appears that it cost this goy-
eminent something like $500 to afford
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN during his recent
stay in this country the protection he
considered necessary to preserve his
precious person from bodily harm. Re-
spending to an intimatien on the part
of the English statesman, immediately
upon his arrival, four detectives were
assigned to guard him. and two OF them
remained within call wherever he went
while he was on this side of the water.
Of course their positions were sine
cures. To the majority of people with
whom he came in contact Mr.. CHAM
BERLAIN, so far as the time previous to
his coming to this country is concerned,
was entirely unknown. There was no
disposition to consider him in any diff
ferent light than as an ordinary diplo-
matte representative coming to transact
ordinary diplomatic business.
But in the mind of Mr.. CHAMBER
LAIN, probably intiamed with trans
Atlantic stories regarding the preya-
Ience of wild Indians and armed Fenians
in the streets of New York and Wash
ington, there was firm conviction that
the eyes of the country, and partieu
larly of the dynamiters, were upon him.
And that conviction cost the govern
ment. which could not afford to be dis
corteous TO Great Britain's representa-
tive, just $500.
Even had the dynamiters whose at
tacks CHAMBERLAIN wished to guard
against been present, it is very doubtful
whether they have considered CHAM
BERLAIN worth the powder to blow him
up. Certainly they would not have re-
garded him as worth the $500 which
his ridiculous protection cost this eeun-
try. AS a matter of fact, when the
president can travel to the uttermost
parts of the United Stated unattended
and without fear of insult, the pre-
sumptuous fear of small fry English
politician is absurd in the extreme.
The trouble is that, in consequence of
their Ubiquitous coercive policy toward
Ireland, the members of the present
English government have such an ex-
cellent reason for bodily fear at home
they find it impossible 10 divest them
selves of it when abroad where no dan
ger threatens.

AND LINCOLN. TOO.

Bob" LINCOLN deserves credit for
the possession of more intelligence than
the public generally accords him. He
at least has intelligence enough to
recognize two things very clearly; first,
that political candidacy founded upon
the reputation of ones father is not
likely to meet with much favor among
common-sense people, such as the
American voters can lay claim to being;
and second, that this year, at any rate,
there is very small chance for Repub-
liean success i'm the presidential fight.
Mr.. LINCOLN, following the example
of certain other distinguished members
of his party, has been doing little let
ter writing on his own account, the
tenor of which is that he is most GER
tainly not presidential candidate. This
is very wise move Oh the part of Mr..
LINCOLN, for other gentlemen not so in
telligent as himself have of late been
urging the consideration OF his name.
Mr.. LINCOLN has no desire to enter a
contest, even if he could secure the
nomination, which is doubtful, that has
defeat plainly at the end of it. With
honest independence, too, he prefers to
be judged on his own merits, and not by
the reputation of his noble father. He
has no ambition to be made a political
convenience of, for he knows very well
that the politicians who have been urg-
ing his candidacy are simply making
use of his fathers name to serve their
own selfish ends.
With the continued decentralization of
their leaders, of those who are in po-
sition to observe the drift of popular
sentiment, it must be borne III upon our
friends of the opposition that if the next
president ISM already virtually selected,
he will be named, formally, at the St.
Louis convention.

The Jews and the Pope.

1t is noteworthy fact that a great
many leading Jews have made mag
nificent presents to the pope on the oc-
casion of his jubilee. Among these is
San Andra, the great rabbi OF Vienna,
who is commonly called the ''pope of the
Jews" OH account of his immense in
fluence. He has sent the pope a fine
copy of the Talmud, said to be
over 900 years old. The head
rabbi of Rome has presented a
complete medicine chest, possible to re-
mind his holiness that during the mid
die ages, and, indeed, up to the COM
menctment of the present century, the
pope's doctor was almost invariably a
Jew. Other leading rabbis have sent
the pope valuable gifts, and leading
Jewish banker has presented one of the
first microscopes ever made. said to be
of his invention, and to have cost him
twenty years labor to bring it to per-
lection.

Returned the Compliment.

Detroit Free Press.
A peddler drove slowly along a cen
trail street. He had sold nearly all his
stock, and felt satisfied and independ-
ent. About peck of apples still re-
manned. In response to his cry of
'Appulls," a door opened, the lady of
house inquired the price, and said she
would take the peck. The peddler sat
in his wagon, holding the measure, and
the purchaser waited at the door for the
fruit.
Bring them ill.," says the lady.
''Oh, if you want 'em, come and get
'em," was the reply. The door slammed.
A week afterward the same peddler
came along the same street. Trade had
been dull, as his wagon was full of ap-
pies, and he went from door to door eX-
hibiting the best six apples he had in
his stock. He had forgotten the little
episode of the previous week, and went
to the side door of the identical house.
The lady recognized him. After in
speeding the samples and asking the
price, she remarked in chilly tones:
Il like the looks of the apples and
the price is reasonable, but l can't buy
of you, as l invariably go into the
middle of the street when purchasing

THE BURLINGTON CASE.

By acceding to the BurnngtOns de-
mand for an interchange OF trafhc the
Wabash road has possibly blocked the
formers effort to get from the court a
decision upon the principal points IN the
case. While Judge GRESHAM has taken
the matter under adviSement, he gave
pretty clear hints in his talk from the
bench yesterday that he didn't propose
to travel out of his way to hunt up
points for decision, and that he consld-
cred the Wabash's expression OF will
ingness to haul Burlington ears as
virtual settlement of the case before
him. 1t is probably asking too much OF
Judge who has the presidential bee IN
his bonnet to stretch his authority
in the least to adjudicate points OF law,
especially when the decision he would
have to render would in all probability
cause him to incur the ill-Will OF either
the railway companies or the labor Or
CARNATIONS.
1t is a pity, however, that the case is
not before Judge GRESHAM IN SUCH
shape as to necesSitate clear decision
upon every point involved in it. There
are principles to be established which
will have a great bearing upon future
conflicts between corporations and their
employees, aud the sooner they are posi-
lively established by the courts
the better it will be for the country.
The one point that the corporation most
desired to have decision upon III the
case the Burlington presented to Judge
GREsHAM's court for adjudication was
whether or not strike was in the
nature OF a conspiracy to obstruct COM
merce. They relied on getting an al
firmatiye decision on this point, while
the brotherhood were equally confident
that it would be decided the other way.
If the decision had been rendered as the
corporation desired, it would have been
a two-edged decision. For it would
follow that all devices Of the
railroad companies for pooling, all
these trusts and combines, OF every
nature, organized for the pur-
pose of interfering with the natural
course of trade, would also be declared
to be conspiracies. So far as the general
welfare is concerned it is a pity that the
Wabash road did not continue its policy
of non-interchange of traffic with the
Burlington long enough to have had
decision from Judge GRESHAM on this
point, and thus have an important prin-
ciple settled one way OF the other. The
fact that the Wabash moved with such
sudden and injudicious haste in this
matter looks as if the corporations
were afraid to risk decision.

THE ENGINEERS IDEAS.
Reasons Why the Strikers Think
They Have the Rest of IL

They Have the Best of 1t.
"Why should the o. road not win
this fight%' asked GLOBE reporter ola
prominent engineer yesterday.
There is every reason in the world
why 1t should not win," he replied.
Everybody knows that not another road
is handling o. business, and it GER
talnly cannot run much longer on its
own resources. 1t must have some out
lets, and If the other roads give them
those outlets then the engineers and
nremen on those same roads will go out
to man. The O. has the entire sup
ply OF 'Scab' engineers in the United
States, so it will necessarily compel the
other roads to confer with the o. and
endeavOr to make general settlement.
1t is only question of time. If the en-
gineers gOOut all over the United States.

Ihey cannot compel us to go to work,

spiracy, IL one existed, but there is no

RIDER HAGGARD.
How the Famous Author of "She''
Looks and Acts.
London Letter.

LONDON Letter.
The is a prevailing idea among the
general public that the writer of ''She,"
King SolOmOn's Mines" and "Allen
Qurtermain'' must be one of those
mysterious creatures living in state of
artificial exaItation, and evolving those
weird fancies from a chlOral-heated
Imagination. To realize the desperate
fallacy of such a theory, one needs to
meet and observe a man who lends no
external indications of importunate in
sight; not one of those nervous, fragile,
unearthly entities, such type as our
Edgar Allan.Poe wildly furnishes forth.
When ] first met Mr.. Haggard l was
most impressed with his simplicity of
appearance, his self-poise, and air of
speeches. self-appreciation. [ saw in
a thrOng of 500 authors tall, slender
young man accepting the worship of a
deity with scarcely propitiatory smile.
He impressed ME as one who had be-
come familiar with applause rather than
gravity.
His figure is interesting and entirely
wanting in eccentricity, but not, it is
true, wanting in certain kind of dis
tinetiOn that is almost plainness.
He is a blonde type of man, with a
prevalence of those tints known as
ashen. A sallow, colOrless skin, un-
lighted by warmer hues; hair darkened
only by the mingling of the deeper drab
shades. and a dull, blue eye, which
physicians are wont to associate with the
anemic temperament. His forehead is
square and strong, his lips firm, his
chin resistive, and his eyes full of clear,
deep Commemorative force. An unemo-
tional face. Implying none of the lighter.
tenderer moods; face utterly lacking
in strong pigment, but rich in pursuance
of modelling. In stature symmetrical.
erect without pomposity-a physical
structure held together and given mot
i've power by sinewS of spring-Wire eX-
pressing sturdineSs, endurance and
elasticity. His voice in speech is low,
measured and melOdiouS.

FATE.

The beauteous night tell DER us like mist,
Through which l saw the glory of her
eyes
Unspoken pain within their somber depths,
Like stormy seas sleeping meath stormy
skies,
By stars unkissed
saw the clustered brightness of her hair,
red-gold halo round her wearied face,
Where one could read in dreamy lips and
eyes,
That sorrows hand had left its blighting
trace
Forever there
pleaded of my love, but all in vain;
She only gazed into the dim afar.
A hunted look within her dusky eyes,
Fixed ON the swift, bright falling of star,
In silent pain.
s.Tell me-" cried while lowly at her feet,
told the longing of my throbbing heart;
'sWhat is this cloud that DER your young life
leans:
Can of its deep anguish bear no part,
No burden sweet!'
She spoke no word to me, but drew her hood
OF filmy lace from Off her red-geld hair.
And pointed, with white and Shuddering
hand,
Across the gray and dusky dark to where
A white horse stood
