THE HAYTIEN WAR.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Will you please state the cause of the civil
war III Hayti? Will it affect the price of
wheat, and is the United States government
likely 10 become involved in trouble with
the Hayden authorities? u.
Duluth, Nov. 27.
What easy questions. There is no
cause for the civil war in Hayti. Two
political factions had quarrel over an
election, and proceeded to settle it just
as Judge RUCKER and Senator BLACK
BURN propose to settle the question of
veracity between them.
The Haytiens eat corn bread as a
rule; consequently the wheat market
will not be disturbed. Three sacks of
-four would probably supply the Hay
ten wheat trade for whole year.
Considering that the entire Haytien
military force consists of Dc brigadiers
and PIG enrolled men, the United
States government is not worrying it
self about Hayden complications. 1t
would be just a nice winter excursion
for one of our st. Paul crack military
companies to go to Hayti and clean out
the island.

UNEQUAL REPRESENTATION.

The Republicans in Indiana feel
greatly grieved and talk very rudely
about unfair apportionment, because
they were able TO elect but three of the
thirteen members of congress in that
state. 1t may be conceded that there are
inequities in the representation, but they
are not peculiar to Indiana. Here III
Minnesota the Democrats cast 100000
votes, and haven't even fragment OF
representation in the next congress.
In Ohio they polled only about 10000
less votes than the Republicans, and
have but one-fourth OF the congressman.
They gave CLEVELAND some 50, 900 more
votes in the entire country than HARRI-
son had, and still have fewer congress
men. Congressional districts ought to
be arranged to best suit the eonven
fence of the voters, without regard to the
balances of party, but it is not insisted
that either party is quite up to that
standard. Even the Republicans are
suspected of having looked at the party
votes, at times, in making up the dis
tricts. No method has been devised for
securing exact equality of representa-
ton.

PoWDERLY,s FUTURE,

Now that Mr.. PoWDERLY has the
''sinch'' on the Knights of Labor organ
ization, there arises question rs to
how he will use his power. As matters
now stand the organization, OF what is
left of it, is only an instrument to exc
cute Mr.. PowDERLY's will. He is the
organization, in fact. Mr.. PoWDERLY'S
past record would justify the opinion
that his autocracy will be of the con-
sentative type. Taking what he has
said and done in the past as the guide
for his future conduct, it would be safe
to assume that the days Of strikes and
boycottS are ended. But human nature
is SO fallible that one never knows whom
to bank on. Men in the pursuit of
power are apt to be more conservative
than when in possession OF it. Still,
the hope is that Mr.. PoWDERLY is an
exception to those who are entrusted
with despotie sway. He ought to real
ize that the order has passed through
its experimental stage, and is now
ready to enter upon permanently Or
ganiZed life, and, that if properly man
aged, with accumulated experience,
and with the mistakes Of the past be-
hind, the Knights of Labor organiza-
ton is now in condition to exert very
wide influence, and has momentou5
part to perform in the affairs of the ma
ton. By q wise and conserv tive adj
miniStration Mr.. poWDERLY can make
an enduring name and fame for him

Secretary Villas Hears the Argu-

secretary Villas hears Sle APSu-
ment of Counsel in the Matter
of Michigan Swamp Lands.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The secre-
tary Of the interior to-day. sitting with
Attorney General Montgomery, heard
argument of counsel in the matter of
certain land claimed by the state of
Michigan, under the swamp land grant
of Sept. %, 1850. These lands, embrace
ing about 1900 acres, were originally
certified to the state in 1858 and 1854 by
the secretary of the interior as swamp
and overfiowed' lands. The re-sur-
yeys were afterward made in which
they were not classified as swamp. The
commissioner Of the general land office
thereupon denied the right of the
state and admitted a large num-
Der of private entries which were
made in ISL. 1882 and 1883, as having
paramount right. Britton IL Gray, of
this city, counsel for the state, con-
tended at to-day's hearing that the ac-
ton of the secretary of the interior in
certifying the lands as swamp, identl-
fed them as coming within the grant
and that no subsequent survey could
change or affect the vested rights of the
state therein. They also maintained
that the states title was confirmed by
the act of March 5. 1857. 1t was stated
at the hearing to-day that the decision
in the pending case will affect the titles
of about 100000 acres OF land III the
northern part OF the state. Several
prominent Michigan attorneys were
present in the interests of several Mich
igan railroads, whose interests are in
vOlyed.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3o.-The people

he shall have ceased to be president,
can now base their representations on
something tangible. On undoubted and
indisputable authority it can be stated
that Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland will go
abroad very shortly after they bid fare
we'll to the White house. The pro-
gramme, as at present arranged. calls
for the departure of the ex-president
and his wife early in June. France is
to be the first country visited, and then
Great Britain will be explored. Mrs.
Cleveland has always been very anX-
ious to make trip to Norway and
Sweden and it is more than probable
that they will journey thither early in
August. Italy and Spain will be the
next countries in the tour, and if Mrs.
Cleveland can convince the eX-presi-
dent that Italy is a desirable land in
which to spend few months, the
couple will spend the winter at San
Reno or Nice.

TEXAS KICKS.

The Texas journals do not take kindly
to the suggestion that their reserve
quantities of states might now come to
the relief of the Democrats in the SEN
ate. The Austin Statesman declares
that Texas will stand as state, a proud
and unbroken autonomy, large as one
of the great monarchieS of Europe.
That is evidently the privilege Of the
Lone Star sister, if she is the biggest of
the family. The creation Of new states
ought to be Invested of all mere partisan
considerations. They are structures
that will endure when pyramids crum-
bic. and their fashioning should not be
subject to the caprices of the hour. No
process has yet been devised for reunit-
ing divided states, and if Texas doesn't
want to divide she won't.

THE DECOLlaTE ISSUE.

The wife OF the presideRt-elect is ac-
credited with one good intention in the
matter of dress reform she intends to
inaugurate at the White house when she
becomes the mistress of that establish
ment. Mrs. HARRISON is quoted as ex-
pressing her determination to effect the
exclusion of decollete toilets from the
executive mansion. She will not toler-
ate bare-armed and bare-necked women
at her receptions. Ii the good old lady
vii! Just stick to this determination
and carry out her most sensible ideas
respecting dress reform, she will
win the everlasting gratitude Of the
American people. The example set by
the first lady of the land always goes
a long ways toward establishing the
fashion for dressing. IL Mrs. H-AREI-
son adheres to her idea, by the time her
husbands term of office expires she will
have virtually driven the decolletc dress
out Of style. Ofcourse there will be some
so-called society leaders who will kick
against the reform. and will endeavor
to get up social rebellion against the
Washington regime. 1t is barely pos
sibie that the decollete dress Will get

ARAuWAY TRUST.

The difficulties encountered Dy the
railroad companies in their proposed
movement for forming railway trust
ought to have been apparent to the
railroad managers before they under
took il. 1t would look to be beyond
the reach of human ingenuity to bring
such vast and complex interest as the
railroad system of this country under
one management without producing a
friction that would endanger the exist
ence of the trust. RaiIroading is a buSi-
ness sui generis. Laws and principles
which have a general application TO
other industrial departments are in
applicable in the railroad business.
Then again, there is such a variety
of interests to be considered, and OF
such diverse nature, apparently it is
an utter inposslbility to harmonic
them or to have any enc fixed rule
which would be satisfactory to all. In
the formation of other trusts these diff
fculties are not encountered. Take
the sugar trust, for instance, or the Oil
trust. The sugar manufacturers and
the oil reGners have identical interests.
What affects one affects all. Conse-
Quently we see how readily they can
grayitate together in an endeavor
to protect mutual interest. But
it is different with the railroad
business. That distinct mutually
which charactcrizes all other bust
ness interests is lacking. Instead
there is diversity of interest and antag
oniSm of method throughout the entire
railroad system. The single bond that
holds them together is in the nature of
an element of self-protection, or the al
lance offensive and defensive, against
the legislative power of the land, which
seeks to restrict railroad operations. In
everything else there is sharp competi-
ton between the various railroads, and as
bitter antagonism between themselves as
there is between the combined railroads
and the public. In the light of these facts
it does seem that the only way by which
a railway trust can be successfully Or
ganiZed is for the entire railroad sys-
tom Of the United States to be owned
by one syndicate. Possibly it may come
to that; in fact, there are suspicious cir
cumstances which lead one to believe
that the secret conferences now being
held in New York, IN which GOULD,
HUNTINGTON, and few other railway
magnates are figuring. may result in
the transfer of all the railroad property
in this country into the hands OF one
syndicate. That such thing is con-
tempiated is reasonably certain, but
it is surrounded with so many hazard
Gus possibilities that even the originat-
ors of the scheme hesitate to press it.
lie the entire railway system should pass
into the hands Of one proprietor and the
fact should be made public, as it would
have to be sooner or later, the danger of
a popular uprising against this new
form of tyranny would be imminent.
The formation of a railway trust would
provoke public hostility against rail-
road management, but the consolidation
of the entire railway system into one
company would occur to the average
citizen as form of despotic power en-
tirely incompatible with republican
government
