JIM HILLS BIG SCHEME.
Reports of an Alliance to Control
EVERYTHING in Sight,


MONTREAL, Sept. 2S.-Sir George
Stephen and Sir Donald Smith have
left here for New York, and it is freely
stated on the streets that their journey
is made to consult other directors of
the st. Paul, Minneapolis q Manitoba
railway with view of forming an
alliance with it and the Northern
Pacific, the Union Pacific and the
Canadian Pacific in order to control all
the traffic north of Oregon. 1t is stated
that if this alliance is concluded the
$500 route, which has so long formed
a disturbing element to other Pacific
and Western roads, will in future work
in harmony with them. A railroad
man not favorable to the Canadian Pa
eifc, speaking of the proposed deal,
said:
This has been brought about by the hostile
attitude of the Western roads and threatened
legislation against the Canadian Pacific and
The $500 connection, which have been
steadily encroaching upon the traffic of their
American competitors. If the alliance Is
made 1t is probable that restrictive legisla-
ton will not be asked for.

Fell Down a Stairway,

E Clarence Finch, Lake City man, who
has been stopping at the National hotel,
Minneapolis, for two weeks past, fell
down the stairway from the fifth to the
second floor at about 7:45 O'Clock last
evening, and was very seriously and, it
is thought. fatally injured. his. face
and head were badly cut, but his worst
injuries are thought to be internal.
Finch is forty-eight years old, and has
been quite i'll for more than week. No
one was with him when he fell. The
exact manner i'll which the accident Oc-
Cured is not known. At IL o'clock last
night he was still unconscious.

Judge Simons' Looking down from
my perch in the GLOBE
FeebleHealth. building to the street
in front of the court
house, witness almost daily a sight
that awakens sympathy. 1t is the tot
tering form of Judge SIMoNs, as, lean
ing on the arm of all attendant, he
YEARLY climbs the flight of stone
stairs on his way to the district
court room, where he continues to
preside in spite of his infirmities. And
l wonder why it is that some provision
is not made for retiring infrm judges
on salary, or at least granting them a
vacation for rest and recuperation when
health fails. AS rule, our judges are
the hardest-worked people in the
world except newspaper men, and have
less opportunity for rest. For a long,
long time Judge SIMONs has been a
very faithful public servant. His long
services on the bench that he has
adorned, and his faithful application to
the duties of his high Office, have de-,
prived him of the opportunity so many
others have improved, of accommodating
wealth. He is now in very feeble
health, but too conscientious to relax
duty as long as he is able to crawl up
the court house steps and reach the
district court room. Possibly man of
his sensitive nature may resent the sug-
gestiOn am about to make, but I will
make it because of a conscientious be-
lief that a faithful publ ic servant is en-
titled to public consideration. The sug-
gestion is that his associates on the
bench and the members of the Ramsey
county bar take immediate action in Sc
curing for Judge SIMoNs the rest and
respite from official labor that he needs
so much.

GOSSIP OF THE DAY.

Sunset COx's The late Congress
man Cox's first con-
First Cam gressional campaign in
Ohio is still remem-
paign. bered by the old citi-
zens of the district.
To reach congress was his aspiration.
To do this he saw very plainly that it
Was necessary for him to lay aside his
Latin and Greek, his admiration of
Penelope and his sympathy for Dido.
He had a large platform constructed,
capable of holding several hundred per-
sons. 1t moved on wheels, and was
drawn from place to place by four
sportive buffaloes. On this platform
Nlr. Cox visited all quarters of his con-
gressional district. He made Housing,
roaring speech everywhere he went. In
order to fnjure his political prospects,
his enemies gave circulation to report
that he put on airs and declined to dance
with the village maidenS.
This has some foundation in truth,
but the reason that he refused to dance
with the fair daughters of Columbus
was not that he was too proud to do so,
but that he feared to provoke a collision
with some jealous lover. He was re-
solved, however, to set this very serious
charge at rest. He, therefore, at the
conclusion of each speech, called on his
audience to select the best female dan
Ger among them and leave her on the
platform for jolly rigadoon. There
were always plenty of buxOm country
lasses that were willing and ready to
shake their heels, and he was never at
loss for an armful. Mr.. Cox was an
excellent dancer, and the fame of his
rigadoonS spread far and wide, and
farmers and their families for miles
around turned out to see him, for among
the Buckeyes good dancer threw poets
and statesmen completely in the shade.
After a rafting speech, on one Occa-
sion, Mr.. Cox offered the customary
challenge. Perhaps he was not much
startled to see four strong men jump on
his patent platform and commence pull
ing a strong rope. Presently 800 pounds
of duSky Dinah stood alongside of him.
When the hauSer was lOOSened from her
waist she breathed freer and took Mr..
Cox by the arm. The disparity in their
size created uproarous laughter. He
did not stand on ceremony, but shot his
arm aronnd her waist and trotted away.
The music was lively, and Dinah's
steps became fast and furious. She
sung, she screamed, she yelled with de-
light. Things were growing warm. and
Dinah was becoming little rank. Her
partner freed himself from her arms
and danced all around her. The eX-
element was at its height. Deafening
applause rent the air. No such fun
was over enjoyed before. The climax
was reached when Dinah, IN making
quick turn, frightened the SpOrtive buff
faloes by falling with a heavy thud on
the platform.

TOPICAL TALK.

Last Weeks The furry in the
stock market the past
Stock FURRY. week has started some
of the wiseacres to pre-
dieting the near approach of a financial
crisis. 1t is usually the case, however,
that these predictions are made by per-
sons who have been individual losers.
Still, there are some things in the finan-
cial atmosphere surrounding Wall street
which are not assuring to the most con-
sentative financiers. 1t is theory with
some that monetary panics move in
cycles, and that, in the regular order OF
events, crash is now imminent. By
panic cycles, however, are not meant
cycles of time, But events and opera
ti0ns affecting the financial world. The
panic prognosticators now point to the
depleted condition of the treasury. occa-
stoned by the draining of the surplus to
meet TANNERS rerating policy and
WINDOWS bond-purchasing opera
tons, as an evidence of the govern.
ments inability to avert crisis.
The additional fact that produe-
. ton is outstripping consumption is
urged in support of their direful prOph-
ecy. On the other hand, they forgot
that there had been great influx of
British capital within recent years, and
that the cessation of railway building
has been the means of drawing large
amount of reserve capital to the money
centers. In fact, there is nothing in
the financial situation to excite alarm,
unless it is in the breast of one who is a
constitutional alarmist. The crop stu
alton is as favorable as it has been for
years. There is a decided improve
ment in the great railroad interests of
the country. During the last two
months the gross earnings have shown
large increase in all parts of the coun-
try, with the exception of New Eng
land. The condition of general trade
is satisfactory, and everything indicates
an era of prosperity. 1t is folly, then,
to be disturbed by the operations of
stock spectators, which, at most, can
only mean the making and unmaking of
a few individual fortunes. and which
cannot possibly affect the general finan-
clal condition of the country.

heart and a warm social side to his
nature that will win him friends wher-
ever his lot may be cast. The Portland
Oregonian, of which he is to take edi-

Death OF


elections the European
WiIkie Col event of most interest
during the past week
Inns. was the death of Will
KIE COLLINS, the nov
elist, whose works are familiar to every
student of English literature. Mr.. COL
LINS was in no sense DICKENS or a
BULwER, but the fact that his literary
career was contemporaneOus with theirs
and that he made his voice heard in
such company entitled him to distinc-
ton. In some respects Mr.. COLLINS
works are more suggestive of the French
than the English style; more after the
DICKENS, or BULwER, or GEORGE
ELIOT, and yet in many things there
was striking similarity between
his writings and those of DICK
EMS. This is so striking in THE
Tale of Two Cities" as to have
given rise to a controversy whether
or not DICKENS made himself a student
at COLLINS feet. This story is certainly
the most perfectly constructed of ALI
of DICKENS tales, and in reading the
book it does not take long to discover,
COLLINS peculiar methods. In the art
of construction WILKIE COLLINS was
the master of all the English noyelists,.
not excepting WALTER SCOTT; but he
was behind them all in ability to fill up
the skeleton in such way as to pro-
duce the best results. Those who saw
MIR. COLLINS during his visit to the
United States in 1878 will remember
him as round, ruddy-faced man, with
beard and spectacles, and slightly
rOund-shouldered figure, which gave
him a professional look. Personally he.
was an attractive man, and made many
warm friends during his sojourn in this
country.
