NO BUNCOMRE.

Senator SABIN's talk in New York
the other day sounds little like the
boy who whistled in the dark to keep
his courage up. Especially that part
of it where he says that the pre-
dictions about Minnesota going Demo-
cratic are all buncombe. Nobody kno VS.
better than Senator SABIN that there
is no buncombe about it, and that
is just why the senator and other Re-
publican leaders in this state are trying
to wheel their party into line on a
Democratic platform. They realize that
the position occupied by the Democrats
on the tariff question is just what the
people of Minnesota want. They are
substantially solid for tax reduction and
tax reform, and they are going to have
both if they have to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. They also understand
fairly well that the only way to get
what they want is by voting the
Democratic ticket.

NOT MUCH SPIRIT.
There Was Not Much Life in the
Rate War at Chicago Yesterday.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-There was not
much spirit displayed in the Western
freight rate war to-day. Only a few
comparatively unimportant cuts were
recorded. The Burlington put into
Mason City, To-. the same rates as are
made to st. Paul, the object being to
strike the local traffic of the Milwaukee
q st. Paul company in Northeastern
Iowa. The dressed beef rate from
Council Bluffs to Chicago was lowered
to 20 cents, or 10 cents below the
tariff in order to bring the rates in line
with Kansas City. The Wisconsin Gen.
tral made the same rates to Duluth and
Lake Superior points from Chicago that
are made to st. Paul. The Milwaukee
& st. Paul and Chicago & Northwestern
met the cut. FOurth-class rates to Des
Moines were lowered 15 cent, all roads
to that point participating. The Atoms
grain rate of 5 cents from Kansas City
to Louis is diverting a large amount of
Ne,raSka corn in that direction, and the
Burlington is said to be preparing to
counteract it with low grain rate from
the Missouri river to Chicago.

A CHICAGO FIRE.
Property to the Value of $4,000
Destroyed by Fire.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-An alarm of fire
was turned in at about o'clock this
morning from Madison and Canal
streets. When the firemen arrived it
was discovered that the third story of
the brick building, Nos. Al to AZ Canal
street, was in mass of flames. The
floor is occupied in the rear by the show
case factory of D. w. Swiney, and here
the fire is said to have originated. 1t
spread in a few minutes to Griffin's sill
yer plate works in the front of the third
floor, and flames were soon pouring
through the windows. AT 2:35 second
alarm was turned in, and with the aid
of additional fire engines the fire was
under control about 5 o'clock. Swiney's
factory, in which the fire originated,
occupies the rear of the second and third
floors of the building, and among the
other occupants of the building are the
p. Dresbach Manufacturing company,
+. 2. Norton, manufacturer of emery
wheels, Samuel Hanson, hardware,
and Oscar Goes & Co., saws. The
heaviest loss falls on d. w. Swiney and
f. o. Griffin, who were practically
burned out. 1t is thought that the total
loss will not exceed $4,000.

Lumber Rates Reduced.


EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Feb. 9.-Lumber
freight rates from the Eau Claire dis
trict to all Missouri river points were
reduced 215 cents to-day, leaving the
differential only cents over Chicago
by the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul.
The reduction is not understood to be
mere incident of the freight war. but
permanent concession to a request made
by lumbermen of this section many
was established. The result will be
general piling of lumber here and ship
ment by rail and but little rafting. 1t
is believed Frederick Weyerhause1's in
f1uence has had much to do with this
reduction of rates. which follows SO
soon after his acquisition of interests
here. The Omaha and Northwestern
roads make similar reduction.

OpIN G. CLAY: II can give you this
pointer. st. Paul is going to have a
building boom this year that will eclipse
everything in history. do not look for
what is called 'tboom" in real estate,
but it is going to be remarkably active.
Politics will not disturb the business in
terests of the country this year. Here
tofore the Republicans have been scar
ing the people each presidential year by
telling them that if the Democrats got
into power all business interests would
be ruined. We get rid of that bugaboo
this year. and it is a good thing for the

The attention of the GLOBE has been
called to the fact that both the Fidelity
bank and the Metropolitan bank, of
Cincinnati, which have been robbed and
utterly wrecked, were national banks.
This fact is no reflection upon the na-
ti0nal banks or the national banking
system. but it does show that all the
examinations and Investigations pro-
Vided by government do not make a
national bank safer for depositors than
a state bank, which, III Minnesota at
least. is surrounded by all the safe
guards that surround the former.
Put brilliant scoundrel in charge of
banking house and he is likely to be-
tray the confidence of his clients, re-
gardleSs of the law in the case, while an
honest. patient, Woodworking man will
probably fully justify all the confidence
placed in him. The latter may not be
50 eager TO get rich in rapid and brill
lant manner, but he will get there by
more honest methods, and probably
quicker. This is a case in which the
race is not always to the swift.

HOMES FOR WORKINGNEN.

Ii isn't often that money has to 90
begging. but that is the condition of a
$4,000 donation which philanthropic
Philadelphian has set apart for the pub
lie good without any specific directions
as to its appropriation. The donor HIM
self was at loss to know what to do
with the money, He wanted it to go to
a charitable purpose, but was without
any definite idea of what charity needed
it the most. Consequently an appeal is
made through the public press for Sug-
geStiOnS 10 aid the donor in coming to
proper conclusion in tie matter.
Judging from the way that sug-
gestions are piling in through
the Philadelphia and New York
newspapers there will be no difficulty
in making proper disposal of the gift
unless the difficulty lies in making
choice from such multitude of sug-
geStiOnS. Colleges, churches and charit-
able institutions of every description
are presenting their claims. Individual
suggestions are coming by the scores,
the hundreds, and the thousands.
Among the many suggestions that
have been made is one to apply it in
providing homes for workingmen, which
IS valuable in that it shows how far
SD, 800 can be made to go in this direc-
ton. 1t is proposed to take this
$4,000 and make a marginal or
guarantee fund out Of it to
enable well-recommended workingmen
10 buy homes for their families. The
plan Is outlined as follows: A s., 800
installment mortgage loan can be made
on house that costs $1,000, providing
the above fund will guarantee the pay
ments for four years, which will amount
30 about $500 of the capital loaned. This
will enable the $4,000 to assist 1G6 peO-
pie to purchase homes at once. and as
the money is being constantly paid
back, four additional purchases can be
made every month when the plan is in
full operation. This plan will, in a
period of twelve years, enable 742
homes to be purchased, and, estimating
a family Of five heads, furnish homes TO
$40 persons without any large risk to
the fund. The interest accumuiating
on the $50, ,00G fund will cover all losses
without impairing the capital, and
very likely increase the capital from 90
20 80 per cent within twelve years.
Thus the fund can go on perpetually
and buy from four to six houses every
month, and grow as it gets older. There
Is no city so prosperous as the one
whose working people own their own
homes, and thus it is demonstrated with
how small capital the laboring classes
Of any city can DC provided with homes.
