Two Kinds of Advertising.

One kind of advertising stacks high
sounding adjectives, regardless of their
propriety; the other presents plain
statements of interest to the public. 1t
is customary for every railroad to adj
vertise itself as the shortest, quickest.
cheapest, best and all the other 'sests.',
In keeping with their reputation for
taking the first step of advancement in
every line of railroad conduct, the
Pennsylvania Lines were first to drop
the high-hown methods of advertising.
and to give their announcements a SIM
pie and dignifed tone. 1t is well
known that the track, equipment and
methods of operation of this railway
system are of nature that ELECTS the
admiration of patrons and competitors.
alike. About all that. is therefore
necessary for the Pennsylvania officers
to do in the way of advertising is to am
nounce the time of their trains In the
description Of the five trains that leave
Chicago every day for the East over
these lines, there is, however. abundant
opportunity for the use of commenda-
tory adjectives. They carry Pullman,
Vestibule ears through to Baltimore.
Washington, Philadelphia and New
York in quick time. and present COM
forts and conveniences that cannot but
be appreciated by their patrons. For
full information apply to Mr.. C. W.
Adams, Asst. Gen. Pass Agent. 65

BY THE WAY.

Senator Ives secured an amendment
to the Stevens jury bill. requiring a
verdict in civil cases from fve-sixths
instead of three-fourths of the jury
nine instead of ten. 1t was recon-
mended for its final passage, when Sen
ator Goodrich will speak against the
bill. He opposes the bill because it
proposes Ito tear up one of the bull
Warks of the people"
Representative Underwood's bill,
making it misdemeanor for a public
official not to give preference to old
soldiers in the filing of appointments,
was summarily treated by the senate.
It was Indefinitely postponed, Senator
Pope, an old soldier, making the prop
osition.
When in executive session. the sen
ate confirmed the appointment Of John
r. ParshaH, of Rice county, to fill the
vacancy on the board of trustees of the
soldiers home, created by the resigna-
ton of Senator Pope. The latter re-
signed over the Huntington fiasco.

BLUFFlNG WATER
Won't Go in the House This
Time.

Il was a bluff a cold, chilling bluff
that Chairman McKusiek, of the com
mittee on temperance, perpetrated upon
the house yesterday morning when he
brought in the report to indefinitely
postpone the Hompe constitutional pro-
hibitiOn BILL 1t has been the under
standing since the temperance agita~
ton commenced in the house that the
advocates of prohibition, although III
decided minority. should have an oppor-
tunity TO express their views. Ihey
were more or less taken by surprise yes
terday when there was an evident pur-
pose to throttle them. Debate followed
the report to indefinitely postpone.
Representative McKusick-When a
committee has made its report it should
be Endorsed. or for what do we have
committees?
Representative Hompe-The people
are asking for a hearing on this Ques-
ton, and it is not fair nor Just TO cut off
debate in this manner. Whether or not
the members of the house indOrSe this
bill, there is no legitimate reason why
We should be deprived Of expressing
or views upon 1t.
Representative Temple-The names
of over 1000 voters and over 1900
petitioners are before this house, ask
ing for consideration of this question,
and how can we afford to ignore them?
Representative Flynn-The Republl-
can party owes nothing 10 these prohi-
biti0n petitioners, and / think the re-
port Of the committee should prevail.
Representative Benson don't care
how long it takes to discuss this ques-
ton, but it should be fully heard in this
house.
Representative Forbes-We cannot
ner. I am in favor Of having the bill
publicly discussed.
Representative Smith-As a matter of
courtesy the advocates Of this bin have
a right to be heard.
The motion 10 Indefinitely postpone

Iowa Roads PeroIexed.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2s.-The Iowa raA-
roads are in quandary as to what they
should do to equalize their interstate
rates from points in Iowa. The recent
reduction in Iowa local rates has upset
the existing arrangements for making
through rates. Freight can be shipped
from Iowa points directly across the
states of Iowa and Illinois by adding
local rates in Iowa and Illinois at from
8 cents to 5 cents per 100 pounds less
than via Chicago. In consequence,
east bound business from Iowa
points goes via Burlington, Boards
town, Peoria and other junction
points west of Chicago. Under the cir
cumstances the railroads will either
have to reduce the through rates to Chi
cago, or they will have to advance the
proportions of rates to the functions
with Eastern roads. But they find Sc
rious opposition to the advance in the
latter rates, and consequently reduc-
ton in through rates seems to be the
only alternative left. At the meeting of
the Western Freight association, held
in this city last week, committee was
appointed to prepare plan for the adj
juStment of the matter. The committee
reported plan. which, after censidera-
BILE discussion, has been tabled. A spe-
cial meeting for further consideration
of the matter has been called for
March 2.

AN OFFENSIVE LAW
Thrust Down the Threats of I'm
willing Legislators.

The Canada thistle and wild mustard
prevention bill was once more before
the committee of the whole. A vigor-
Gus opposition was again made against
the bill. Senator Chapman, the gray
haired legislator from lie Sueur, caus-
tically said; This bill will give en-
ployment to all the workingmen that
my county embraces, and they are al
most legion. 1t will give them employ
ment now, henceforth and for ever My
county is covered with obnoxious
weeds"
Senator Bowen-If am going to have
that law forced upon my people. am
going to fight it to the last, and beat it.
1t is an offensive law, and we do not
wont it.
Senator Goodrich-The bill is wrong
i'll principle.
1t was, however, reported favorably,
with the proviso added that it shall
apply IN no county until a majority of
the citizens have voted for the enforce
ment of the law. This amendment was
secured. after hard fight, by Senator
Clarke, and virtually means that the
law need never be placed Oh the
statutes.

HABITUAL CRIMINALS
Must Skip the State or Chance
Their Freedom.

1n0fr FfecOOfH.
Habitual criminals are to have it hot.
Senator Edwards brought up bill, one
provision of which runs:
Whoever has been twice convicted
Of crime, sentenced and committed to
prison in the state of Minnesota Or any
where within the boundaries of the
United States for terms of not less than
three years each shall. upon con-
vlction of felony committed in
this state after the passage of this
act, be deemed an habitual Grim
inal, and shall be punished by imprison-
ment in the state prison for twentv-one
years. less the diminution allowed by
law for good conduct, subject to parole
under conditions hereinafter prescribed.
The bill provides that prior to parole
being granted to any of these habitual
criminals, they will first be transferred
to the state reformatory, where, if they
give evidence of reform they will be al
lowed out on parole. Secretary Hart,
of the corrections and charities board,
is the author of the bill. There are now
three states working under such law.
Mr.. Hart truly says, if man is incura-
bly, insane heiis never allowed to leave
the hospital. If a man is an habitual
criminal, he should be kept in prison.

THE RAILROAD TAX CASES.
An All-Day Session of Court at
jamestown Yesterday.
Special to the Globe.
JAMESTOWN, Oak, Feb. 2S.-Judge
Rose was occupied all day yesterday in
hearing the arguments Of counsel on
the railroad tax cases. 1t Will be re-
membered that until 1886 the Northern
Pacific railroad company had evaded
the payment of taxes on its land grant
by the plea that the title to lands re-
manned in the United States until the
survey fees had been paid. In that year
congress passed an act setting aside
that objection, and the company then
set up the claim that the lands were
exempt from taxation under the gross
earnings law. The territory held that
this was not so: that the act only ex-
empted lands used in the operation
of the road. Accordingly last
year the different counties assessed
the company's lands and advertised
delinquent last fall. A day or two be-
fore the day of the sale the company
obtained temporary Injunction to pre-
vent the treasurers from selling these
lands which they now seek to have
made permanent. The counties allege
that the gross earning law is unconsti-
tutional, to which the company replies
hat even if that were SO, as the coull-
ties had accepted their proposition of
tile taxes under that law. they are
stopped from taking any further action.
TO this the counties reply that no coun-
ty officer has power TO waive the rights
of all its citizens to equal taxation. The
arguments were not concluded until
nearly midnight. and Judge Rose will
give his decision on Saturday.

THE TORIES ALARMED.
They Are Straining Every Nerve
To Avert Total Defeat

LONDON. Feb. 2S.-The grave troubles
that threaten the government owing to
their connection with the Times in its
attempts to convict the Parnellites of,
crime cause much distress and alarm
among the ranks Of the Tories, and the
question of the first Importance is how
to save themselves from total defeat.
The Tories will concentrate all their
efforts to save the ministry from falling,
at all events. 1t is confidently asserted
tonight that Sir Richard Webster's res
ignation will be accepted and that he
will be made the scapegoat in order to
save the ministry from the charge of
completely in conspiracy to ruin Mr..
Parnell, made by Sir William Harcourt
and others. The Parnellite counsel in
sist upon the legality of proceeding
against the Times after the commission
has finished its work and will bring suit
for large sum for damages. a writ
will be obtained before the commission
to make the ground for proceedings
sure, and the suit will be carried to the
bitter end against the Times.
