AdIIAIOs IulIIlCNAltbNC w. TX WV
expected by MesSrs. We>Son and
Davis, bul they have the most assured
confidence in their ability, under The
arrangement ONE to, TO create a
vivid interest in jamaica, and its ca
pabiIities, in regions where that Inter
est il sure to produce the most favour
able results to the prosperity Of
jamaica.
Mr. Davis declares that his visit to
jamaica has been IA revelation to him.
He had no idea, he says, Of the Won
derful fertility of the soil, and the
beauty OF the climate. Both himself
and Mr.. Wesson are astOnished at the
absolute neglect shown by her people
of the w0ndrous natural advantages Of
Jamaica.
Mr.. Davis found that we were i'm
porting potatoes, onions aud Other
produce, from the United States,
while there are millions Of acres in
Jamaica that are capable of growing
these things to far greater perfection,
and in far greater yield per acre, than
in any part Of the United States.
Mr.. Davis finds no grist mills 10
grind Indian corn or maize, but he
finds great quantities Of corn meal
on the manifests of every steamer
from The United States, and that
EVEN the grain itself is largely i'm
ported. On enquiry, he finds the
price paid for Maze or Indian Corn
is from Is. to s.. per bushrI, while
the American farmer is glad to get
Is to 40 cents per bushel for corn.
He asks why maize is not grown for
home consumption, and ground into
meal. He is told that meal made
from Jamaica corn gets sour, it
ferments, it won't keep. Why asks
our visitor, and he is aStoni>hed to
hear hat it is because the gram is
not Kindred as the American corr
is. 1" But why ON earth is it not
kiIn-dried,P asks tho American visi-
tor. "Can You not dry your corn
in kilns here as well as anywhere
else?" The answer comes slowly as
from one who hadn't looked at it in
that tight before-"W Ell, yes, | sup
rose we could, but it wouldn't pay
in jamaica" THIS answer so fills
our American visitor with asroni>h-
ment, that he asks a string Of ques-
tions with a view of eIIciting informa-
ton us to what exceptional circum-
stances render all enterprises un-
remunerative in jamaica, that pay
we'll elsewhere. We need not say
that he gets no satisfactory nswer
to his interrogarions.
This is one only, among a multi
tude of instances, in which Mr.
Davis discovered the apathetic neg
lect Of the most splendid advantages
among our people, One thing that
struck Mr.. DAVIS most forcibly was
the Respondent tone that prevadeS
the intelligent classes of the commu
nifty. 1 here is no hope in the future,
there is no enterprise, because til
sanguine nature that lies at the very
foundation of all enterprise, is abso-
lutely wanting among us.

cation to which we in Janaica are
acc. stoned, viz, that Of Indian COO
lies, M'o wear a yard Of loin cloth
and an ,rripg, but the hardy Swede,
German, Italian now passing from
Europe in drrds of thousands to
the United ST. and the Argentine
Republic. Mr.. Wis declares that
the advantages that "a" b" offered
to such immigrants in Jamaicp, an
so much more substantial, so much
more attractive, than It is possible to
show at the present time in the United
States, that once IA start is made and
these people with their families be-
come aware that Jarnaica can give
them a home where energy and in
dustry cannot fail of a reward, there
will he no difficulty whatever in d.
v%erting a considerable portion OF the
stream to The shores OF this Island.
It is to carry out this excellent idea,
which contains the germs Of the re
generation OF Jamaica, and IS perhaps
the most important feature of the ar
rangement for the transfer OF the
Railway, that one Of the conditions
of the provisional con roct IS the free
grant Of land to the Syndicate in
proportion TO the length Of railway
constructions. <onp very foolish IDEAS
have got abro I'D with regard to this
part OF the Arrangement. II has
been said that lands w.re 10 be gran
ted to the syndicate ON either side OF
the extension to The extent OF SO
many thousand acres for very mile
Of road built that the land was to be
THAT contiguous TO The line, irrespec-
tive of all private interests or pro
pertv. II seems hardly worth while
TO contradict such an absurdilY, but
among the more ignorant classes II
~ not unlikely that SUCH an idea may
be received, and a. it would do great
harm in cronting a most unreasona.
bic opposition to the proposed ces>jon,
it is as well to state definitely what
thus part OF the arrangement agreed
to, really means.
Il is simply that, on condition thai
the Syndicate constructs the extern
sions at the rate and in the directions
prescribed, and in a ann to salts
ty the Government Enginerrs, a Ger
tain area Of Government Wa5te land
shall be freely granted to the syndl-
cate, in area proportionatr to the
length of railroad construction.
1t is the intention Of the Syndicote
to ave a fee simple OF his land, IN
lots, to any person willing to settle
and cultivate, without any remunera-
ton whatever. The grants are to be
free grants This is the advantage,
by mean of which, the Syndicate
has every reasonable hope, the immi-
grants now rhro0ging the Atlantic
ports Of The United States, may be
induced to try their fortune IN
jamaica. This is not the only ad-
VANTAGE that is to be offered. Assis-
ted pas>ngeS,- and even bonuses are
among the inducements that will be
Offered.

THE SCHEFFER LETTER.

Albert Scheffer'S letter to the Ramsey
county Democrats was read with no
greater interest throughout the state
than here in Minneapolis. On the the
Dry that Scheffer absolutely declines to
be candidate before or accept NOM
ination by the Democratic convention,
it is held by local Democrats that Hen
nepin county will furnish the candidate
for governor, hence the interest
in the letter. 1t was discussed
in every impromptu gathering of
Democrats, and while comment varied
in words, it was about the same in re-
suit. The Ames men rejoiced in the
belief that it left Ramsey county GER
tain for Ames and the Wilson forces
were glad that it removed from the field
dangerous opponent. There were a
few, very few, who still maintained
Scheffer's availability and were for him.
The majority were willing to accept the
letter as final and to class Scheffer a
Republican, even though on Demo-
cratic platform.
The friends of Ames are inclined to
be jubilant over the letter in that they
have regarded Scheffer as the only
thing between them and Ramsey
county, and that they are now satisfied
Ramsey will wheel into line for AmeS.
One of the chief supporters of Mayor
AmeS said: 1.-The only thing that could
defeat Ames before the convention
would be compromise that would have
had Scheffer for its object. Without
coming squarely out as Democrat,
Scheffer could not get one foot into a
Democratic convention, so l regard him
as settled. There is nothing left now
but to nominate Ames, and | believe
Ramsey county will be with u.s.
49,
Those who stand by Wilson are still
more jubilant and regard his nomination
now as fOregone conclusion. Most of
them were unwilling at any time to adj
nit possibility of the nomination of
Schetfer, and now are in position to
say, Il told you So" One of them said:
"Ames and Wilson will measure
strength fairly in the convention
and Wilson will be nominated by
reclamation. We will not have
Bennepin county, but the county
of course will be for Wilson for second
choice and will come in heartily when
it sees how matters stand, just as we
will turn in for Ames if it is shown we
are mistaken in our estimates. Don't
take any stock in the stories about Will.
son being the Doran candidate. Doran
is only for Wilson because he wants to
carry the state and knows Wilson to be
the strong man. They are not personal
friends. Didn't Wilson score the Me
and Mike circular?''

MINNEAPOLIS.

In two weeks from to-day the Demo-
cratic state convention will assemble at
st. Paul. Most Of the counties have
held their conventions, and the remain
der will do so in season, the calls hay
Ing been issued. All but Rennepin.
For some reason which is doubtless
good one, but which he keeps re-
hgiously to himself, chairman Orvllle
Rinehart has intimated no intention OF
calling the committee together. Ac-
cording to the best judges, considerable
time must elapse, after the convention
meets, before the primaries can be
Why does Chairman Orville Rinehart
linger? Several members of the COM
mittee were discussing the situation
yesterday and wondering why they
were not called together. 1.-The call
will be issued tomorrow" said one. "If
Rinehart does not do it by that time we
will call it ourselves"
There are thirty-six members of the
county committee, and it amounts TO
almost a convention of itself. Five va
rancIes exist, two caused by death and
two by removals. j. K. Sidle and Harry
Ghostly have died and Jacob Becker
and AL Schafer have gone to California.
The remaining thirty-two are still on
deck and will respond to the call
when made. j. w. Lawrence
is secretary and treasurer, but
said yesterday he knew of no motion to
call the unwieldly body together,
though 1t should be done. The commit
tee was appointed by NJ. W. Glenn two
years ago, and was made SO large with
the idea of representing every section,
class and interest. 1t did good work in
the last campaign, though it was en-
tirely too unwieldly, and had to be split
up into subcommittee for work.

Davidson and Lewis about Mr.. Law
rence's house. They were in a buggy.
One of them got out, went up to Mr..
Lawrence's house and rang the door
bell. [ told them that Mr.. Lawrence
was at the lake, and that there was no
one in the house."
DE Young was then placed on the
stand and asked what he knew of this
robbery. He said:
''About that time Commissioner Guile
came to me and said that friend of his
had had some goods stolen. told him
I'd do all could and asked him to send
Capt. Harvey to me. had talk with
Harvey and then sent for Davidson.
The latter came and said he thought he
knew where the stuff was and that
it would be at Harvey's house
between $3.50 and o'clock the
following Saturday afternoon. A
day or so later Davidson told Harvey
that no one could get the goods, as they
had been destroyed. About this time
Davidson, Blake and Lewis came up to
my place and handed me a parcel, l
opened it and found that it contained a
pair of bracelets, opera glasses, watch
and other articles. They wanted me to
buy 1t; but l refused, as l could not
test it.; but afterwards l took the
glasses"
Had you heard any talk of robbing
Mr.. Lawrence's house before the burg
larry occurred?" demanded MI. Jamison.
II can't remember"
''Why did you want Capt. Harvey to
come down instead of detective?''
asked Attorney Donohue.
Because there was a previous ar
rangement between Harvey and David
son. They had some dealings before,
and thought he might be more apt to
get something from Davidson than
other members of the force"
Detectives Howard and Doyle then
gave some unimpOrtant testimony. AS
upon the previous charge Mr.. DOnahue
announced that he had no evidence to
offer. The court then announced that

eral managers of the Northwestern,
Western aud Southwestern railroads
was held to-day at the office of Chair
man Faithorne, for the purpose of
agreeing upon some plan of harmonic
ing the interests of the various lines.
The roads that have been cutting rates

points on through business from
the seaboard agreed to restore
rates Aug. ID. A committee was
appointed to communicate with the
managers of the $500 and ST. Paul &

establishment of satisfactory relations
regarding competitive traffic. 1t was
also provided that representatives of

GILMAN FOR SNYDER.
He Is Glad of the Scheffer Letter
THE Vacancy on the Bench.


THE Vacancy on the Bench.
Charles A. Gilman, one of the Repub-
lican candidates for governor, arrived
in town yesterday on one of the early
trains, and left for home last evening.
be was seen by GLOBE reporter, who
tried to interview him. but he refused
to talk much about politics. He seemed
to be considerably elated over the
refusal of Schetfer to accept the
Democratic nomination for gov
ernOr, and said that Scheffer
would now get the Republican del
egation from Ramsey county. which
would have been for Merriam in case
Schetfer had accepted the nomination
from the Democrats. He was also quite
anxious to find out how Sam Snider's
congressional boom was getting on and
during the day he was clOSeted with
number OF politicians who are known to
be working in Snider's interest. From
the kindly way in which the Snider
heelers speak of Gilman's candi-
dacy for governor it has been
generally surmiSed that there
had been trade patched up between
the "GOgebic millionaire and the
''granger from StearhS county," and
the way Gilman made himself at home
with the Snider men yesterday would
rather indicate that such is the case.
-
"a number of Republicans, who re-
member that when Judge Rea was APP
pointed on the bench that the Demo-
Gratis were promised the next Judge, are
booming Charles NJ. Pond as candi-
date for the place now held by H. G.
Hicks. A prominent Republican said
that he was one of the delegation of Re-
publicans who were sent to con-
fer with the Democrats in re-
gard to Judge Rea's nomination
by both parties, and that Hicks
was also member of the same delega-
ton, and that the entire delegation
were authorized by the Republican con-
Ventlon to state to the Democrats that if
they would lndorse Rea for judge that
the Republicans would indorse their
nominee for the next vacancy on the
bench. 1T is we'll known" he
said, chow this pledge was kept:
the Democrats indorsed Rea.
and when they presented to
us Seagrave Smith as their nominee for
the next vacancy, this man Hicks was
appointed judge, against the protests of
the entire bar of Hennepin county. |
think we need men for Judges" he
continued, "who have some little regard
for their word of honor, and for that
reason l want to see this pot-house
politician fired off the bench of
our district court" Mr.. Pond is
lawyer who has practiced
in this city for thirteen years and
stands we'll with the members of the
Hennepin county bar. He is Demo-
crat, and NEST of the Republicans adj
nit that the place now occupied by
Hicks rightfully belongs to Democrat.
1t is generally supposed that the rea-
son why Seagrave Smith was not ap-
pointed by McGill was because John S,
Pillsbury wanted Hicks Oh the bench
for purpose, and consequently no at
tention was paid to the pledge made to
the Democrats.
