Trouble With the Interstate

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Secretary
Villas and the interstate commerce COM
mission have to-day had their attention
invited to little matter which might
land few prominent individuals in the
penitentiary. In the report of the Union
Pacific railway for the quarter ending
Sept. 80, 1887, there is statement con-
cerning matter of nearly $S3, 200 paid
in rebates to shippers on that line. This
is plain violation of the interstate
commerce law, for which there are
heavy and severe penalties. 1t is to the
interest of the road to make the balance
sheet show small net earnings, because
of the indebtedness to the government
being paid out of the net earnings,
hence the expense side of the balance
sheet is made to appear as large as pos
sible in this latest report. Not only
does the road mention these rebates,
but goes so far as to give the names of
over 200 shippers to whom rebates have
been paid. To abolish the rebate sys-
tenn the Interstate commerce law was
passed, and the continued violation of
this law must be stopped. Secretary
Villas will investigate the matter, and if
the law has been violated the guilty
parties will be prosecuted.

THE ELECTORAL METHOD.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Having read with interest your editorial in
Sundays issue ON the electoral college, may
l take the liberty of asking how many times
in our national history has the electoral col
lege thwarteC the wil of the people? Or. in
other words. how many times has the cleo
toral college elected president who was
short on the popular vote: L.
st. Cloud, Dec. l..
The first record of popular vote for
president was in 1924. when, by the OPP
Grafton of the electoral method, JOHN
QUINCY ADAMS was made president.
although he had $4,000 votes less than
ANDREW JACKSON. In 1874 JAMES K.
Polk had majority in the electoral
college, although he was short of a ma
jority on the popular vote. In 1SiS
it was the same case with ZACH
ARIAH TAYLOR. The same was
true of BUCHANAN in 1856, of LINCOLN
in 1860, of GARFIELD IN 1870, and of
CLEVELAND in 1851: but i'll each of
these cases, with the exception of
ADAMS in 1924, the candidate counted
in had a larger popular vote than any
of his competitors. The three notable
instances where the electoral method
misrepresented the people were in 1924,
in 1876. and in 1885.

THE WOMEN DID 1T.

The late Boston municipal election is
new source of trouble to the Repub-
lican managers. Having recently been
at so much pains to court the Irish
Catholic vote, they find some difficulty in
reeonciling the result of the Boston
municipal contest with what they have
heretofore been saying and promising.
The election bellies all former state
ments and promises made 10y the Repub-
licans, and as votes count for more than
words, they are consequently in pickle,
Still. it must be an extreme case if the
shrewd Republican managers don't
find an avenue of escape, and in
this instance they fall back upon the
old apology that ADAM trumped up
when he found himself cOrnered on the
apple issue: "The woman beguiled
me-" The whole responsibility for the
Boston election is now being showed off
on the women. The women did cut
something of figure. it is true, with
their IL, 600 votes: but 1t must also be
remembered that the women took no
hand in the preliminary caucuses, nor
are they responsible for the creation of
the issue upon which the Republicans
carried the election. The bad, wicked
male Republicans of Boston are solely
responsible for that. And it was so in
Boston. just as it is in every other part
of the country-the principle of Know
Nothingism is alive in the Republican
party.

THE CHICAGO LINES.

AS long as progress, and not retro
gresSion, is the active principle of busi-
ness life, there can be no justification
for such proposition as is now being
seriously considered by some of the Chi
cago roads for lengthening the time of
the runs between that city and st. Paul
and Minneapolis. OF course, one road
can hardly afford to change its schedule
unless all the lines agree to adopt the
same, and it is said an effort is now
being made to obtain the concurrence
Of all the Chicago lines in the pro-
posed change. Fourteen hours is
surely reasonable time in which to
make run of 400 miles and to stop at all
stations of Importance. The difference
in cost between a fast train and slow
train is so insignificant as to be absOlu-
tely no excuse for the proposed change.
The saving in expense would certainly
not be enough to compensate for the
loss Of prestige to this section, and par
ticularly to its railroad business. Our
Northwestern railroads are so intimately
Identified with everything that pertains
to the progress and development of this
Northwestern section they cannot af-
ford to lead off in retrogade
movement such as this would
be. We have the authoritative state
ment of the Omaha and Northwest
ern people that they do not particularly
desire the change. and we do not see
why others should. Surely, the business
men of the two cities have interest
enough in the matter to give it their at
tention, and to make protest against
any change unless it be a further short
ening of the time between these two
cities and Chicago.

CAUSES FOR SUICIDE.

Various attempts have been made to
aggregate and analyze the causes that
induce people to commit suicide. One
OF the most extended of these is the re-
cent gathering of statistics in France
The suicides in that country last year
are given as 7,572. Of these, affections
of the mind are credited with 2,I6S;
physical suffering, 1,22S; domestic woes,
975: and 500 from drunkenness. Smaller
numbers are assigned to various other
causes, among them 227 to jealousy
and crossing in love. This is but a
meager fraction of the 1872, and prob
ably is smaller in France than in most
other civilized countries, as lovemak-
ing there isn't adapted to the promotion
of sentiment. 1t may be inferred that
the 975 who couldn't endure domestic
trouble afford announcement to the
theory that matrimony conduces to sui
eide. But the figures are a census of
moral cowardices. as only those attempt
to leave the world unbidden who lack

THE FUTURE CAPITAL.

short time ago the GLOBE called at
tention to the fact that, when Canadian
annexation was accomplished. Mime
sofa would be the central state of the
Union. and would, in consequence, be
the center Of population, of agricultural
industry, of commercial business, and
the great railway center of the CONT
nent. The GLOBE is, therefore. all the
more gratified to find that its views not
only find Endorsement in other sec
tlons OF the country, but that even mat
tiers of Importance that we omitted
are supplied by our Eastern contem-
poraries. For instance. late number
of New York's popular illustrated
paper, the Daily Graphic, prints map
of the United States of the future, with
the state of Lincoln on the northernmoSt
boundary, and the state of Costa Rica
on the southernmost; and at point on
the Mississippi river where St.Paul now
stands is a great big star, marking the
spot where the national capital will be.
We had in mind before to say that, Min
nesota being the national center, it
would follow that the national capi-
tai would be located within its borders:
but we didn't care to agitate the ques-
ton of capital removing in advance of
annexation. Since the Graphic has
given the snap away. we unveil our
modesty and claim everything in sight
Now let annexation proceed.

UNCLE SANS OLD sLEUTH.
Chief Bell Details the Operations
of the Secret Service Division of
the Treasury Department.

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-The first re-
port of John S. Bell, chief of the secret
service division of the treasury, shows
that during the past year the agents of
the service caused the arrest of 407 per-
sons for offenses against the laws gov
erning counterfeiting, etc. OF these,
146 persons were convicted or pleaded
guilty, los were discharged, and ninety
six cases have not yet been determined.
OF those arrested during the past year,
forty-six had been previously ar
rested for similar offenses OF the
persons arrested, 1S2 were of American
birth. sixty-seven of Italian. twenty-one
of German, IA were American negroes,
10 were from Ireland and the remainder
were scattered throughout Europe The
birthplaceS OF ninety-One were uII-
known. Fifty per cent of the l34 for
eignerS arrested were aliens. The fines
imposed by the courts during the year
aggregate s22, ,494, and the sentences
aggregate 267 years and IA days. Coun-
terfeit and raised notes, coins and imita-
ton money to the representative value
of 81. 1881 were captured and Sc
cured during the year. Other property
plates. 40 dies, 46 molds and 81 pieces of
miscellaneous paraphernalia. During
the past year only two new counterfeit
notes have made their appearance,
both being silver certificates. One
of them. a 81 note, was of
such a poor character as
TO renderits circulation almost impossi-
BILE, and was not put on the market.
The second. IS, was very fair produc-
ton and was put on the market Feb. 4.
1883. at Detroit. The manufacture has
stopped Oh account of the leader being
under arrest for similar offense in
Canada.
In conclusion, Chief Bell renews the
recommendations of his predecessor.
that the title of the appropriations for
the service be changed, and that the
amount of the opriation be increased
to 100000. He also suggests that the
enactment of a statute prohibiting the
making or selling, except by competent
authority. of any die or mold by which
may be struck or cast, in metal or ma
