WILL COME DOWN.
Iowa Rates Will Come Down if
Minnesota Rates Do Not Go Up.


CHICAGO, May ia local paper says:
SIT has developed that the elaborate
distance tariff which the Iowa roads put
into effect Wednesday was only adopted
conditionally, and that there is more
than fair prospect that rates all over
the state of Iowa Will drop 10 to IL per
cent before the end of the month. The
Illinois Central claims that the new
Iowa rates are too high in comparison
with st. Paul rates, and, in consequence,
place Iowa shippers at disadvantage.
1t, however, has agreed to adopt the
new Iowa tariff if the Northwestern
roads will agree to advance rates to ST.
Paul about 20 per cent. so as to equaliZe
the Iowa and the st. Paul tariffs. A
meeting Of the Northwestern roads has
been called for next Tuesday, to con-
slider the proposition. In the event,
which is considered certainty, that the
roads do not agree to advance rates i'm
the Northwest, the Illinois Central will
at once give notice that it will put into
effect a new distance tariff. reducing its
rates on all lines in Iowa 10 to II per
cent. This will force competing lines
to take similar action, and as the law
requires rates to be made on a fixed
mileage basis, it will result in 10 per
cent reduction i'll local and through
rates all over the state of Iowa. 1t may
be added as an indication of the senti-
ment of the freight agents that at the
recent meeting at which this matter
was considered resolution was adopted,
stating i'll effect that in the event of a
failure to advance st. Paul rates, any
road would be justified in issuing its
own individual distance tariff. This
resolution has however, until now. been
kept a profound secret by the railroad
officials

crosby on the part of Mr.. WANA-
MAKER, but it will serve to illustrate
how capitalists might do something
toward removing all conflict between
labor and capital.
The rule adopted by Mr.. wanna
MAKER is to put all employees whose
terms of service reach seven years OH
the honor roll, and those whose names
are thus enrolled participate in the di-
vision of the profits. Last year 272 of
Mr.. WANAMAKER's employees were
On the honor roll. The profits
of his Philadelphia establishment were
$4,000. Thinking that one-half of this
amount would be fair dividend on his
own capital in the concern, Mr.. WANA-
MAKER divided the other half equally
among the 272 employees who were on
the honor roll, each one receiving an
envelope with a check enclosed
for his individual share. In addi-
ton to this Mr.. WANAMAKER set
and placed it under the manage
ment of five trustees, for the benefit of
the permanently disabled who, by reason
OF old age or accident in the service, are
no longer able to work. The trustees
have full power to decide who shall be
placed on the pension roll and what
amounts they shall be paid. During the
year the expense account of the
WANAMAKER establishment shows
a payment of over $4,000 in
the way of special percentage to en-
pl0yes over their usual salaries, which,
in addition to the pension fund and
the amount paid to those on the honor
roll, makes total of over 100000 of the
profits of the WANAMAKER establish
ment that went to employees.
The advantage Of the WANAMAKER
plan is two-fold; first in establishing a
sort Of civil service wherein promotion
is made dependent upon merit i'll con-
junction with faithful service; and sec
ondly, i'll Identifying the employees with
the success of the establishment by
making them feel that they are limited
partners in the concern.

A DARK TRICK.

The Anonymous Circular Being
Circulated by the Gresham Men
in Minnesota.
The following anonymous circular is
being distributed throughout the state:
ST. PAUL, May 4, 1SSS.-Dear Sir:
The approaching Republican state CON
vention will be one of the most i'm
portant ever held, and it seems to me
vital necessity that delegates should be
sent to Chicago that will represent the
wishes of the party upon the vital ques-
ton OF tariff reform. There is scheme
on foot to thwart this feeling by electing
a delegation headed by Gen. w. D.
WaShburn.
QMr. WaShburn, in recent interviews,
has expressed himself in favor of reduc-
ing the surplus by repeating the inter-
nal revenue taxes on liquors and to-
Dacco, is the favorite plan of the
Randall protectioniSts. He has also in
an interview expressed himself against
the interstate commerce law.
For this reason l think he is not
proper man to represent this state, not
Wlthstanding his acknowledged ability
and high character.
In my judgement the delegates should
come from the country, and should be
representative men. Will you not CO.
operate in bringing this result about?
There is strong reason to believe that
the men who are back of Mr.. Washburn
are for Depew, the president of the
New York Central railroad. Such
nomination, it seems to me, would be
most unfortunate. REPUBLICAN.
There are very good reasons for be-
lieying that this circular originated with
the Merriam allies, and that behind it

QUITE UNANIMOUS

Have you observed the unanimity
with which the various Democratic state
conventions which have been held thus
far have declared in favor of the renom-
ination of President CLEVELAND? Of
course you have. The fact has been so
patent that the most needless person
could not help taking cognizance of it.
There has been no doubt or hesitancy
anywhere. The delegates have simply
recognized the demand of the country
that the man who has given it the
best administration for quarter of a
century shall be continued in office, and
have responded to it.
1t is sentiment which prevails
throughout the country, which will
make itself evident at every state con-
vehtion yet to be held, and which will
find unanimous expression in short
time at ST. Louis. As has been well said,
the present executive is no longer an ex-
pertinent. He has demonstrated that he
is president in the interest of the en-
tire people, and that government hon.
estly administered will find popular

ExPUNGING PILE RECoRns

1t is now proposed to eXpunge from
the records of the senate the diScredit-
able wordy conflict which took place
recently between Senators INGALLS,
and VOORHEES,. What reason can be
alleged in support of such action it is
difficult to see. The records are sup
posed to contain faithful transcript of
all that occurs during the meetings of
that body. Nothing IS supposed to be
set down in malice and nothing eXtenu-
ated. A simple verbal photogram is
made of the actual doingS.
Why, then, should the record be eX-
plunged so far as the passage between
the two senators is concerned? The
fact that the episode was dsgraceful is
no argument i'll favor of the elimination.
1t was part of the regular proceeding,
and therefore deserving of perpetuation
as much as though it had been of the
most commendable character. Doubtless
Mr.. VOORHEES, is we'll ashamed of
of the language i'll which during burst
of passion he replied to INGALLS,
biilingsgate attack, but he can better
afford to allow his remarks to stand
than can the Kansas senator. A COM
parison of them is not likely to re-
dound to the credit Of either. Unlike
the house record, the senate record has
thus far been made pretty accurate
transcript of what is really said and
done. Itshould be kept so.
The house. too, might institute a
needed reform by checking the practice
now common among the members of re-
vising their speeches before they are
printed, and of printing speeches that
have never been delivered. The only
records that should be eXpunged are
the personal records of some of the con-
gressmen who might, with advantage,
be retired to ObScuritV.

Wants AInes Again.


Perham Bulletin.
We notice that quite number of
papers in this district have come out
square-toed for Hon. E. NJ. Wilson, of
Minneapolis, for candidate for governor
on the Democratic ticket. The Bulle
tin after an acquaintance with Mr..
Wilson of fifteen years, can heartily
indorse all they say of his good
qualities, as he is man fit to
grace and do honor to any Office in the
gift of the people, and were he to re-
ceive this nomination there is none that
we could support with a better will
than he. But if McGill is to receive the
nomination on the Republican ticket,
we are free to confess that we should
like to see the battle of two years ago
fought over again between McGill and
AmeS.

The people of this district want no rail-

congress. We see by theIast issue of
the Glencoe Enterprise that A. II. Reed,
of Glencoe: William Vanderbilt. of New
York, and others, have organized as
corporation to build railroad from Du-
luth sOuthwesterly, via Glencoe, pass

Meeker to one side. This will never do.
Meeker county will settle his hash for
him. The only way Capt. Reed can set
himself right before the people here is
to run his road through Litchfield.

reached this office.
Senator DURANT is very popular at

less popular away from home where he

business ability, rare common sense and
brilliant vita combination which

NATIONAL POLITICS.
Keep Cleveland.

New York Herald.
And yet if any Republican could be
named who did win, success would be a
sorry sight. Mr.. Cleveland in Washing
ton means the assured leader of his
party in power. The advent of the
successful Republican nominee would
simply be the invasion of Washington
by a swarm of the hungriest adj
venturerS, following no leader. but an
oligarchy of chiefs. 1t was bad enough
when Hayes and Garfield came in.
How would it be with a Republican
whose advent involved a new dynasty?
who would have to reward the sup
pOrters of dozen rivals and undo all
that has been done toward good govern
ment in the preceding four years?
