CHICAGO'S VAIL.

Poor old Chicago dies hard. Its one
time commercial supremacy having
fallen into the scar and yellow leaf, it
spends the days of its waning greatness
in matchmaking its prosperous twin
rivals up here in the Northwest.
The resolutions adopted by the Chi
cago board of trade relative to the Bur
lingten & Northern's through rates, and
which were published in our railroad col
umn yesterday, have farcical ring. eve
emphatically protest against any railroad
leaving Chicago out in the cold" is the
tone of the resolutions. Indeed, our
Chicago friends do protest too much. If
they would protest less and awake to
the consciousness that they have been
passed in the race for commercial
supremacy by the Twin Cities of the
Northwest, they wouldn't make them
selves the butt of universal ridicule as
they are doing now.
The Burlington & Northern knows
its business. and all the foaming at the
mouth and the crashing of teeth done
by the Chicago board of trade will not
change the company from its purpose.
The trade of st. Paul and Minneapolis
is sufficient to keep several trunk rail-
way lines crowded with business with
out taking Chicago into consideration
at all. AS matter of fact Chicago is
only getting to be way station between
st. Paul and New York, anh first-class
roads are not bothered about what Chi
cagO does or doesn't do.

WHO OWNS THE Ola MoNDs.
Valuable Jewels Found i'll an Old
Safe for Years Locked Up.

MONTREAL, March %. A very
strange diamond story has come to light
Yesterday About eight years ago, j.
Cassils, of the firm of Shaw Bros. 10
Cassils, wholesale leather merchants,
bought large old-fashlOned safe from
a secondhand dealer. One of the small
drawers in the safe was locked, but as
the dealer said it was locked when he
got it some two years before, and as the
person who sold it told him it was empty
and he had lost the key, he gave it no
more attention, and the safe was sold as
it stood. This week Cassils bought
new safe and out of curiosity the locked
drawer was forced open, and, carefully
wrapped in jewel wadding, was found a
tray containing a diamond necklace,
bracelets and large number of unset
stones. Mr.. CaSSilS did not care to be
interviewed on the subject. Tracing
the old safe was not an easy matter, but
the following seems the solution of the
story. Twelve years ago II. MelOr did
large business in diamonds and jew
elry on Notre Dame street, Montreal.
But he suddenly disappeared, and on
his store being seized, it was found that
almost everything of value had disap-
peared also. Subsequent develop
ments showed that but very
few iewerIy houses i'll Canada had eS-
capped, while several English diamond
dealers were caught. Nellie Dastien
was at that time Il notorious woman
here, and with her MelOr made his es-
cape to the United States and settled in
ST. Louis, where he finally dropped out
of sight. Shortly after Melor's disap-
pearance Mrs. MelOr and her sister
were on their way to the United States.
Their trunks were subjected to thor
ough search, and it was found that the
sides and bottom were lined with thin
sheets of gold, over which had been
pasted the paper lining of the trunk.
All the jewelry in the store had been
unset, the metal melted into sheets and
the gems stored away. A great many
diamonds were found in a small plum
pudding the ladies were carrying by
way of lunch, and several were found
concealed in theiI dresses. NOtwitl-
standing these proofs, Mrs. Melor and
her sister were found not guilty at the
trial. There was a good deal of specu-
laton as to what became of one magnifi-
cent diamond. Many of the jewels
were afterwards traced, but this one
was given up as lost. 1t has at last
turned up in the old safe. If any of
the creditors of the abscOnding ieweler
inquire into the find made by Mr.. Cas-
sis, and if the jewels can be traced or
identified, there may be quite an inter
esting legal squabble as TO who is enti-
tied to their possession.

TIT FOR TAT.

The American hog is to have his re-
venge. For months the Germans, in
fear lest their beloved weiner wurst and
sausage should be contaminated by the
importation of the American porker,
have religiously excluded the latter
from landing on their shores. They
have seen no reason, however, why
WeStphalia hams and other choice pro-
duets of the German pens should not be
sent to America. Though fearing the
American hog, they had, in common
with the rest of the world, no aversion
whatever to American dollars.
But the American hog at last finds a
defender in no less person than the
president of the United States, who
to prevent the importation of German
pork because of it's admittedly diseased
nature. Afraid to eat their own hogs,
and prevented by law from importing
hogs FROM America. the Germans will
find themselves in very sorry plight
indeed.
The fate of weiner wurst and sausage
trembles in the balance. Only the inn
mediate removal of the ridiculous re-
Strictions will save them from dis
appearing from among the triumphs of
German culinary art. America is fast
becoming the source of the food supply
of foreign countries. Without her flour
and meat products more than one ma
ton would find it difficult indeed to
feed the people.
But if they can stand modified starry
ing, America can probably stand the in
convenience of seeking another market
for her surplus.

powDERLY,s CIRCULAR.

Mr.. POwDERLY has again given an
admirable Illustration OF the wisdom
shown in selecting him as the head of
the Knights of Labor. He has issued
circular to all assemblies which shows
that he well appreciates the one way to
make the order in the highest degree
effective, and that is by instructing
every member in the principles of the
order-in short, to carry ON an educa-
tional campaign.
1t has too frequently been the bane of
the organization that alleged leaders,
ignorant of the orders higher mission
and not broad-minded enough to ap-
preciate the noble principles upon
which it is founded, have gained an as
cendancy in their particular fields which
has brought nothing but injury upon
those under their control. Organized Ia
Dor can accomplish much when working
in the right direction and when its efforts
are impelled by sound common sense.
1t can accomplish nothing when I'M
der the direction of narrow minded
demagogues incapable of forming an
intelligent estimate of the proper rela-
ton of capital and labor and capable
only of advocating a policy, when dis
pute arises, of blind resistance. The
educational methods which Mr.. Pow
Derby proposes cannot fail to make
each member better appreciate his
rights and his limitations. They will
render possible more effective group
ing of the orders strength because they
will point out when and where it may
be legitimately exercised.
1t is to be hoped that his circular ia
voring the education of the masses in
this special direction will be approved
by every assembly, and that the encour-
agement necessary to put it into effect
will be freely offered him.

THE RED CROSS SOCIETY.

There is one member of the WOman'S
convention now in session in Washing
ton who is deserving of the utmost
honor, and whose ''cause," unlike many
others which have advocates in the con-
vention, is entitled to the deepest re-
spect. The woman is CLARA BARTON,
president of the Red Cross society. Her
mission is to relieve suffering humanity
in times of great distress.
Wherever a plague exists now
ing down its victims by hum
dreds, wherever great floods occur
or cyclones break forth, wherever
war exists, there the banner OF
the red cross with the noble people who
work under it is found. During the
yellow fever epidemic in the South. and
more recently upon the occasion OF the
Mount Vernon cyclone, Miss BARTON
and her Jealous assistants admirably
demonstrated the unselfshness of their
efforts and the practical utility of their
mission.
Rightfully international in its charac-
ter, the Red Cross society has grown
with astonishing rapidity. In Europe
its chief duty is in the nursing OF
wounded on the battlefield, while in
this country its mission is to relieve the
suffering of those who are the victims
of some natural calamity. In every re-
spect it is worthy the Warmest encour-
agement.
Therefore in contrasting it's purposes
and achievements with those of the
various other "causes" represented at
the convention, the reflection naturally
occurs that if the enormous sums OF
money which are annually absorbed by
the Impractical and irrational ''mis-
sions'' were only diverted to the treas
ury of the Red Cross society, the inter-
estS of women would suffer no loss and
the good of humanity would be sub
served in much more extended field.

AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION

An Eastern contemporary makes an
excellent suggestion in the direction of
keeping up the good fight for tariff re-,
form, which is well worthy of adoption.
1t suggests that every citizen who be-,
lieves that the payment of unnecessary
taxes is wrong write postal card to
his representative in congress with the
brief assertion that he is tired of paying
his share of the S155, 100000 which the
government annually collects in excess
of its expenditures, and wishes the con-
gresham to do his part in putting an
end to the legalized robbery. What an
inundation of postal cards would set in
toward Washington if this suggestion
were generally adopted.
Congressman would not be left in
doubt very long as to the sentiment pre-
vailing throughout the country upon
tariff reform, for simple sum in addi-
ton would show them that the sum
total of the replies conceded with ma
jority OF the voters. They could not
fail to be impressed with such a spOn-
taneous expression of public opinion.
Minnesota people, for instance, would,
almost to man, write in favor OF i'm
mediate action in the direction of tariff
reduction, and Minnesota sentiment
typifies that prevailing throughout the
West.
1t might be well to adopt the sugges-
ton, if for no other reason than in order
that certain congressman might have an
opportunity to earn their salaries by
reading the communications received.
