! THE state railway commissioners have
suspended their order to the general
managers of the railroad companies
within the state that they amend their
distance tariffs to conform with the ter
mlnal tariffs. In a circular issued to-
day to these managers the following
reasons are given for this indefinite
postponement by the commissioners:
The commission has to say that in con-
sideration of the foregoing matters, and
of the further fact that 1t has proposed
to the legislature now In session a
change, which if enacted into law, would
materially modify the statutes now in
force governing the method of putting
into effect recommendation like the
one in question, we have determined to.
suspend the operation of said order or
recommendation for the time being.
After further notice is given peri
cd of ten days will be allowed within
which to put the order in operation vol
unfairly, should they see fit to do so, be-
fore any steps Will be taken to compel
compliance. In the meantime the COM
mission will consider all objections urg-
ed upon them by the companies and
will endeavor to so modify the order as
to avoid the objections, should they be-
come satisfied that such a course is pro-

THE jobbers of Iowa, and the manu-
facturers as well, are happy over the
last decision of Judge Brewer in setting
aside his order restraining the Railroad
Commission from enforcing its second
schedule. That schedule must now be
observed, and the prospect for spring
trade in Dubuque and the other cities of
Iowa is fiattering. The railroad COM
panies are correspondingly unhappy.
Evidently Judge Brewers not prepared
to 90 as far as he was at first disposed to
in establishing a new principle of law
touching the right of a State to regulate
railway charges. He was in favor then
of insisting that the rates should be high
enough to enable the companies to pay
dividends, however small, on their
stock. If the stock represented, as it
purports to do, the actual investment,
that would be fair, perhaps, but as a
matter of fact the bonds represent near
" all the actual investment. At the
Nav term of the United States Court the
case will be gone over again, and the
decision then rendered will be antici-
pated with the keenest interest.

MORE AS TO WINDOW.
His Boom Not Doomed Out by ANY
Means.

WAsHNaTolS, D. c., Feb. lO.-The APP
parent failure of the boom that w.aaaas IN In
tended to place Col. John Q. New in the
cabinet haS1 all appearances complete
" Tetered out, and Blaine men feel that
the victory is theirs. Considering that
it is their victory they believe they are
entitled to the fruits of it. Hence it can
be said that Window stock is higher to-
night than it has been since his name
was first suggested for secretary of the
treasury. 1t has been urged against the
secretary that he is not at present a
resident of Minnesota, nor is he vet suf-
ticiently identified with New York state
to be credited to it. Now the Blaine
men look at it that Senator Window was
trained in the West and that il is man
with Western ideas and not those of
Wall street that is wanted. The present
residence of Mr.. Window is not matter
of any consequence SO long as it is I'M
derstood that he represents Western
sentiment in regard to the financial pol
icy of the government. Gen. Harrison
has not yet found a man who would har-
NOME with that part of the cabinet al
ready selected as would Mr.. Window, if
made secretary of the treasury, and at
the same time carry out his present in
tention of having Western man at the
head of the treasury. The fact that Mr.
Window has not been actively connect
ed with national politics for a period of
time likewise operates in his favor. The
more the situation becomes complicated
the greater is the possibility that he will
be selected and that is the reason that at
this particular time he is regarded as
having the inside track on other geetle-
men named in connection with the
treasury-ship,

THERE is no occasion for the submits
sion of an amendment providing for pro-
hibition at this time. A we'll considered
local option clause might be added to
the high license law, but there has been
no loud call for any radical measures or
changes. There are always plenty of ag-
itators ready to propose new laws and
radical movements, but the sensible peo-
pie of the State do not expect the legis-
ture to be moved by the appeals of such.
Let the prohibitionists enforce the pres
ent laws against saloon keepers, and
convict them of some of the violations
which are daily practiced before asking
for an amendment which would practi-
cally take all restraint off the traffic in the
large cities or in all districts where the
public sentiment was too weak to uphold
the innovation. Remember, that consti-
tutional prohibition would do away with
all forms of license or restriction. Let
us leave we'll enough alone till we are
sure that new steps are in the way of
improvement.

WINDOW AND THE CABINET

The Minneapolis Tribune's Washing
ton correspondent has the following re-
garding Ex-senator Window and his
likelihood to be selected Secretary of the
Treasury:
J WASHINGTON, ID. g., Feb. Sit is evil
dent that all ofthe Minnesota delegation
ARE not well pleased with the talk re-
ghrding the possible appointment OF ex-
Senator Window to be secretary of the
treasury. Congressman-elect Dunnell,
who has been here for the last two
months, Is somewhat outspoken III his
opinion as to the ex-senator. Mr.. Lind
is also inclined to the belief that Mr..
Window would not be good Western
representative, as he has become too
much identified with the interests of
Wall street. When asked to-day if he
did not regard Mr.. Window as a good
representative of the Northwest, he
replied by saying that he thought the
people in that section did not look
upon him as a bona fide resident Of
Minnesota because ne found it neces-
saryl four years ago to swear his vote in
at Winona, some one having challenged
it. Mr.. Lind also referred to the fact
that Mr.. Window had not syoted for
Gen. Harrison, that he did not return to
Minnesota at election time, and if he
voted at all he must have voted in New
York; therefore his residence would be
in the East and not the West. He
thinks this objection could be urged
pretty strongly against Mr.. Harrison 3
selection of Mr.. Window, which might
please Western people who are welded
to the belief that the secretary of the
treasury should come from some agri-
cultural state.
Mr., Dunnell lisa great deal more em-
phatic IN his opposition to Mr.. Window
than is any other member of the Mime
sofa delegation. 1t is believed that he
holds against the ex-senator some grew
ances brought about by local dissensions
in Minnesota, especially regarding the
senatorial contest when Mr.. Sabin was
made the successor to Mr.. Window.
Mr.. Nelson is keeping very quiet upon
the subject and has nothing to say and,
when Interrogated regarding Mr.. Win
now out of politics and that on the 4th
of March he would retire permanently
to private life. Notwithstanding the OPP
position which seems to be making itself
manifest by Dunnell, there is growing
feeling that Window is being more fav-
orably considered every day by the man
at indianapolis. For the last three
days Window has been very generally
discussed. By great many public
men it is looked upon as fortunate Sc
lection, which. would break the New
York combination and thereby give
Gen. Harrison better opportunity OF
selecting bus cabinet with the view of
harmonizing the different factions of the

Hal Reid has hit upon a means of
Willing away the dreary prison hours.
He has organized a prison school. The
school has grown from quite small be-
ginning month ago to some 2S scholars,
and Is divided into two classes. The
primary class is composed of convicts
who did not know the English alphabet,
although many of them are old gray
headed men. This class is taught from
8 to II u. III. each week day, except Sat
urday. Next class is composed of con-
victs who can read, and is taught from

The railway commission Wednesday
afternoon listened to arguments on the
new grain aud warehouse laws. Chief
Grain Inspector James and a. I'll. Rob-
bins, of the Minneapolis and st. Antho-
ny elevators, made arguments for and
against the law. The talk was of an in
formal nature and no action was taken.
The commissioners will consider pro-
posed amendments to the law.
The probate judges Thursday met at
st. Paul, with Judges Hicks and LELAND,
of the Minneapolis Bar Association, and
Judge OTIS, of the st. Paul Association,
to consider the proposed new code.
This was on the whole deemed unsatis.
factory, and there was feeling that the
code should be left TO the commission
which is to revise all the statutes. A
committee was appointed to urge the
amendments proposed by the bar asso-
citation before the judiciary committee.

THE Jackson Republic cries, "Let the

Who opposes the submission of this

This firm makes living by tempting
the citizens of Iowa to violate the laws

TO saddle similar state of affairs upon

entirely occupied and possessed the old
Shakespearean fame; and not only has
Washburn been elected to the U. S. Sem
ate-though it has been boast of Dom
nelly that no man of that blood eyer had
or ever could reach Senatorial dignity
but Window is called into the Cabinet.
Window was on the everlasting list as
one of Donnelly's victims. He and
Shakespeare and the Washburns had
been slaughtered, the world was told, by
the insatiate statesman. 1t was supposed
their scalps hung in Donnelly's wigwam,
and here they are all again, bobbIng up
serenely, beautiful TO behold Shake
speare sticks. Window is called back.
Washburn scales the Senate house.

tainty" until the ranks of Republican
statesmen and politicians have well

lent proof that Gen. Harrison hes been

matter and that the gossippers really
know nothing about the decisions made
