a long distance on a railroad without

man one day who had recently
made his way back from Texas with
but a few dollars. "WhenI reached
st. Louis I had but five cents in my
pocket, and did not know a man
there 1could ask for a loan. I went
to the ticket agent, and making.
known my condition asked. him how
Icould get to Indianapolis. Have
you a trunk? he asked. Itold him l
had, and he said he would indtroduce
me to the conductor. When the con-
ductor came up was intro ueed,
and he asked me for the check to my
trunk, which Iggaye him, and he then
gave me a small ticket, which he said
would getmy trunk in indianapolis.
{ asked him how much the trunk
would cost me when I went to get it
out. he said 81. Well, / get. through

Petty CriminaIities,

VIM. Cooke, broker aged 20 years, hung
himself at Providence, r. L., from a beam in
the basement of his house. He is well known
and worth 100000. Insomnia was the
cause of his suicide.
Joseph Dickenhoef of Akron, Ohio, aged
seventy, while carrying a valise containing
$1,000, was assaulted by highway men, who
knocked him down with a sling shot. Dick
enhoef was rendered unconscious and before
he recovered the robbers secured the money
and escaped.

anon bank in New York has just been dis
covered. a tunnel 60 feet long was dug I'M
der the safe. The bottom OF the safe was
drilled but an error of,an eighth of an inch in
the calculations made the work on the inside
of the safe. About $4,000 would have been
secured had the attempt proved success
James Bannan has been arrested on suspic-

A shooting affair took place at Hastings
Neb., between two gamblers named ssKid'
Hawkins and Frank Fanster, which resulted
in the death of the latter. There had been
bad blood between the two men for some
time. Both We're paying attentions to the
same woman. They met in saloon, when
both drew revolvers and opened fire. Fauster

kins is in custody. He claims to have acted
in selfdefense.
Detective Jake Loewenstein, q well known
officer, was fatally shot at Chicago by his
WIFE, The deed was the result of uuarrels
which the:couple have been having for some
time. When the quarrel was resumed the
woman pulled q revolver and fired Ave shots
at her husband. One passed through the left
side of the head, just above the temple. and
came out of the right side. This viii in all
probability, prove fatal Another bullet
grazed his breast, and another struck the
thumb on his right hand.
Robert D. Fowler, the well known board of
trade member and millionaire of Chicago,
was held to the criminal court on the charge
OF perjury. The case arises out of judg-
ment for $500 rendered against Fowler
Bros. in 1886 in favor of John Boier, an en-
ploye at their packing house, who lost his
hand while working O sausage making ma

his tirm owned the property; but in another
suit last spring testifying that Fowler Bros.

property.
Three young men from Grand Crossing,
Ill. were in Chicago visiting friends, and we're
on their way to the Polk street depot to
take the train for home When passing the
postofice three men approached them, ex-

laid his hand on the shoulder of Frank Day,
one of the Grand Crossing men and said:

There are still on the pension rolls
OF the Governments over 800 omen who
served in the war of 1912. Thatwar
ended seventy-three years ago, and
there were about $4,000 men who
were recognized as having had a
pensionable part in it. Taking these
figures as a basis a Boston news
paper man calcu lates thatif the same
proportion of veterans of the war of
1861 survive for a like period, there
will be as late as 1888 some 10000

HOW CLEVELAND TAKES HIS pEFEAT

Special to st. Paul Globe: The president
talked quite freely about the returns and the
increased Republican vote, but expressed not
the slightest regret in the world at any &C
ton he had taken during his administration
He is willing to admit that his position on
the tariff and decided stand he took in favor
of revenue reduction may have lost him a
good many votes, but he still maintains
that it it were to do over again he
would follow the dictates of his own
convictions The bitterest pill the pres
ident has to swallow is the PARTISAN action
of a number of Republicans whom he kept in
office, and who rallied and worked against
him with all their power. Their department.
towards the administration is a source of

lately in England, when the mother
of the girl telegraphed the police au-
liberties at Bolton to arrest her child,
who was a passenger on train that
would pass there. She mentioned
the girls lameness, that the police

MINNESOTA STRONGLY REPUBLICAN,

MINNESOTA STRONGLY REPUBLICAN,
The Pioneer Press, of Thursday says: The
ascertained or reported results of the vote
On governor in nearly every case considerably
exceed e the estimates by counties of
Merriam's majorities published nv tbe
Pioneer Press on Tuesday, while the major
tles' Tor Wilson aretin nearly every case less
than estimated. The total result ia that,
Merrlam's majority in the state will exceed
10000, which is 1000 above our estimate
The echoes of Gilman's and Scheffer's
eloquence may be distinctly heard reyerberat-
Ing through these returns.
One OF the results of the campaign in this
state is the assured election of five Republican
congressman. For there is no longer anv
doubt that in all the three districts which
nave been represented for the past two years
by Democratic Representatives in congress-
three Republican candidates have been
chosen. -
COMMENT IN LONDON.
The London Times says: Though we be-
1leye that President Cleveland g internal mol
ley and his administration are more remark
able Tor capacity and uprightness than any
thing to which the Republicans can point, in
recent years, we cannot profess regret al an
event which may be regarded as an appro-
pirate penalty for his discreditable subser-
vlence to the meanest influences of American
politics and his culpable neglect of the de
cencies of international intercourse. Tt is
not improbable that President Cleveland s
nasty change of front in the fisheries affairs
and Secretary Bayard's treatment Of
Lord Sackyille alienated, or at least
cooled the zeal of many friends of pur-
ity, reform and national dignity, whom the
corrupt, demagogic rule of the Republicans
had driven to the opposite camp. In re
spect to his fiscal policy, there is no reason
why MIR. Harrison, if he has the courage to
shake on the domination of the machine,
may not emulate and even surpass President
Cleveland: We are sincerely sorry that the
change of government involYs the retirement

duties with marked ability and adroitness,

WHAT THE OLD ROMAN SAYS:

i. y 4
Judge Thurman said at Columbus that SO
far as he himself was concerned he cared
nothing for defeat. He much regretted the
defeat of the party, however, because he
foresaw the mischief the Republican party
might do Already he saw intimations in
the Republican press of a return of the car
pet bagging system in the South, and he
feared the party if it obtained complete CON
troll OF congress would seek to insure its con-
tinnance in power by admitting Dakota,
Idaho and Montana.
COMMENT AT WASHINGTON.
The calm which has hung over Washing
ton during the last days of the canvass has
not been greatly disturbed and it is doubt
full if any city in the Union, received the cleo
ton news with less apparent agitation. OF
course the larger proportion of persons in
terested here are Democrats, but even they
did not show great signs of grief over Cleve-
lands defeat. There have been fair sized
crowds around the bulletin boards all day,
but they have had little to say, even the Re
publicans showing mild enthusiasm over the
returns. At the White House it was i'm.
possible to get even an expression of opinion
on the result. Mr.. Cleveland took his an
parent defeat with great nerve and was as
lmperturbabie at the usual room reception as
ever. He looked comfortable and chatted
pleasantly with o few friends. Col. Lamont
received dispatches all day from New York
many Of them from Brice and Barnum of the
usual misleading hope on-ho pe-ever character
but they evidently did not fool Dan, who
when asked, stated briefly but regularly that
they had heard nothing favorable. The most
pitiable part of the whole matter is the lack
of interest taken in Mr.. Cleveland's defeat
1T does not seem as if there were fifty people
who honestly regret Mr.. Cleyeland's failure
He seems entirely without warm, personal
friends. One of the most notable features 81
this election is the failure on the part of the
Democrats here to attempt to explain ii
away with the usual methods. They seem to
take their defeat us the natural result of thu
failure Of their president to understand the

Speed of Railroad Trains.

A table recently published by the
Railroad Gazette shows the speed of
trains between the principal cities of
the United States to be as follows
The highest average of speed for the
distance run is shown by Pennsylva-
MIA train making 1876 miles an hour
between New York and Philadelphia.
The fastest train on the Philadelphia
and Reading road makes the same jour
ney, but with many more stops, in four
minutes more, making its average
speed 40 miles. The fastest train on
the New York Central makes the AL
miles between New York and Buffalo
at an average of Al miles an hour
The fastest Erie train to the same
point, with road Ii miles shorter,
makes an average of only 32.5 miles.
The fastest Pennsylvania train from
New York to Pittsburg makes 1856
miles an hour, the run being just three
miles longer than to Buffalo. The
Pennsylvania ''limited" between New
York and Washington makes the 226
miles at an average of 4O.8 miles an
hour. But the fastest New York Gen.
trail and Lake Shore train between
New York and Chicago makes more
than four times that distance, or 9S1
miles, at an average of 39.1 miles.
The fastest Boston and Albany train
makes 80 miles an hour. In one re-
spect, at least, we are not the "fastest"
country in the world. The English
trains surpass ours in speed.

The Future of the United States.
Ne1U York Sun.


Mr.. Edward Atkinson estimates that
the next census will show the pOpula-
ton of the United States to be "a $780,
600, while the Hon. S. S. Cox thinks it
will fall short of that number by 49,
600. But who will predict what our
population will be in the year 1900 2
How vast will be the influx from other
lands before that date, especially if
our present immigration laws shall re-
main unchanged And in the year
1000 when a period of time shall have
elapsed equal to that which has passed
since the United States became an in
dependent nation, what enormous
numbers of people will dwell within
what now constitute the borders of our
country! During the past liz years
the American people have increased
from 100000 to perhaps 57,O0O,000
During the next ~ years it will not
be surprising if they shall increase so
as to equal the present population of
Europe, or possibly even China. For
tunately the country is big enough, SO
that even in the latter case all will
have plenty of room.

The EskimO's Love of Home.
From the american Magazine.

Why human beings have been found
living in this lone land of desolation
has given rise to no little theorising
and speculation, the bulk of which
seems to be that they are cruelty forced
to abide here by the supposed greater
strength of the savages to the south of
them. My own ideas are with the Gre
spectacle minority" which believes
that they are found in these regions
for the same reasons that we find the
reindeer, the muskox and the walrus !;
that is, it suits their peculiar tempera-
ment and disposition better tnan any
other climate or condition possibly
could, and they are no more forced in
to the frigid zone by other savages
than the animals named are held there
by the antelope, buffalo, or carbon of
lower ATTITUDES.
When they are taken from their hy-
perborean home they are as restless to
return as the castaways in their own
land are to get back to civilization,
and, singular enough, despite all their
desOlate surroundings, they are the
most happy and contented race, savage
or civilized, in the four corners of the
earth, although it is the coolest corner.
The tale told by Capt. Hall of the deep
longings of the sick and sinking Eski-
mo, KudalO, to see his land of ice and
snow before he died, and his joy on
being carried to the deck of the Artic-
bound ship when the first iceberg was
sighted, is as pathetic as any ever told
of the return of Arctic refugees to their
land of flowers and forests and clear
ly, shows that patriotism and love of
home is circumscribed by no parellels
of latitude nor influenced by climatic
conditions. Wherever the Indians and
Eskimo have come in contact in an ag-
gressive way, the northern nomads
have steadily pushed back their cop
per-colored neighbors, and the only
places where they-the Eskimo have
penetrated far inland to reside, is along
the Yukon and Kouskoquim rivers of
Alaska. Here they have elbowed out
the Indian for some hundreds of miles,
and find luxuriant living on the
swarming fisheries of these streams.
