DUNNELL AND WINDOW.

The man who has confidence in his
own superior wisdom and who possesses
an abiding faith in his own intellectual
pre-emiuence is sure to bob up when an
Office of exceptional public distinction
is to be bestowed. The presence OF Mi.
WINDOW on the field when the sena-
torial fight opened and the interest that
Mr.. DUNNELL is manifesting in it from
distance are illustrations in point.
The Republican party in Minnesota is
not blessed with an overabundance OF
brainy men-that is, if the men who I'LL
public station are fair samples Of the
party'S brains. But few of them
make national reputation when
the opportunity is offered. The
fact that Mr.. WINDOW once rose
sufficiently high above the horizon of
local fame to get cabinet office, and
MIR. DUNNELL was a prominent candl-
date for the speakership of the national
house of representatives, seems to have
impressed those two gentlemen with the
idea that they carry in their heads about
all the brains allotted to Minnesota Re-
publicans; and consequently they are
not unco' modest about projecting their
individuality upon public attention
when a senatorial fight is on hand.
These two intellectual giants are I'M
questionably putting finger in the pie
just at this time, although Mr.. WIN
DoM's friends claim that his presence
on the field is more for the pur-
pose of toying with SABIN'S ring
lets than of forcing himself into the fight
as candidate. Others, who know WIN
DOM quite well, are confident that he is
looking out for number one, without
regard to his likes or dislikes for other
people. In imitation of the war horse
of old, Mr.. DUNNELL is snuffing the
battle from aiar. having planted his
headquarters in Washington during
the progress of the fight But, for
all that, he occupies an eminence
with field glass in hand, and takes
daily observation of the battle
with the precision and regularity of
general who has important plans of his
own to be executed. 1t is perceptible
to those about him that he manifests
entirely too much anxiety with refer
ence to the senatorial contest to be
wholly disinterested spectator. That
both he and Mr.. WINDOW have each in
mind scheme to capture the senator
ship is fairly inferred from their move
ments. The main thing in the way of
the consummation of these schemes is
that the people of the state are not SO
thoroughly impressed with the intel
lectual superiority of these two dis
tinguished gentlemen as to lay aside
the claims of the other aspirants for
senatorial honors. DUNNELL has good
job, WINDOW has been honored beyond
merit; and the Minnesota woods are
just full of aspiring young politicians
who are hungering and thirsting for
public honorS.

THE NEW APPoRTIoNMENT.

Mr.. ELLIOT, the aetuary of the treas
ury department. figures that the United
States census takers year from next
June will find 64,476.000 units in the
population of the country. Presenting
that there is no increase in the member
ship of congress, the ratio for repre-
sentative will be raised from Isl, 900 to
10000, or a little higher. Minnesota
will apparently gain three members and
have ten votes in the electoral college.
Vermont and Maine will be likely to
lose one member each, and some other
states will fall behind relatively, if not
absolutely. The next presidential cleo
ton will come under the new appor-
tionment, but there are no indications
now that the deciding factors will be
other than those of 1883. New states
and the new apportionment will not
change the conditions materially. The
contest will apparently be determined
by New York. New Jersey, Connecticut
and Indiana,

The men who really elect the presi-

PACKERS A-PIQUE.
They Want Uniform Rates on Live
Hogs and the BaPreled Arti-


CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-The demand of
the Chicago packers that uniform rates
be made OH shipments of live hogs and
packing house products from Western
points led to a conference to-day be-
tween committee of packers and repre-
sentatives of the Western and South
western railroads. The whole question
was canvassed, but no conclusion was
reached. The packers insisted that the
rates on packing house products should
be no lower than those on live hogs.
claiming that the difference now exist
ing between those rates is diSerimina-
ton against Chicago. This view of the
matter is naturally combated by
the packers at Western points,
who claim that they will be driven
out of business if such concession is
made to the Chicago rivals. A delega-
tiou of Iowa packers will arrive here to
morrow to present their case to the
railroads, and after hearing both sides
to the controversy, the roads will decide
what to do. The board of trade will
defer sending its petition to the inter
state commerce commission until
Wednesday, when the railroads are eX-
pected to be ready with their decision,

VICTIMS OF THE CYCLONE.
Six of Them Laid at Rest at Read
ing

READING, Pa, Jan. 14.-Six more of
the victims of the cyclone were buried
to-day. They were John Reber, George
A. Schaeffer, Sallie Bickel and Sallie
Harner, killed at the silk mill; and
John Foreman and John q. Kahler, who
met their death at the railroad paint
shop. The estimate is made to-day that
the loss of property caused by tine tor
nado in this city is about Sl50,000. There
have been no more deaths among the
one hundred injured. The relief COM
mittee, in dispensing their charity,
have discovered about dozen persons
who were badly hurt, but who we're not
reported heretofore. There is some
public criticism as to the weakness Of
the walls of the silk mill, but the gen.
eral opinion is that no wall could have
withstood the fury OF the storm.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The secre-

to Rear Admiral Kimberly, command
ing the Pacific station, to proceed in
the United States steamship Trenton to
Samoa, for the purpose of protecting
American interests on that island. The

There is considerable apprehension of

deemed advisable to have some naval
vessels there as soon as possible.

WHILE there is SO much Republican
solicitude about the smallness of the
vote in three or four Southern states,
they see nothing wrong in facts like
this in Connecticut: The fourocounties
of Litchfield, Middlesex, Windham and

representatives in the state legislature.
while the three chief cities of New
Haven. Hartford and Bridgeport, with

have no show for the legislature and
