THE PARTY BOSS.

The apprehension is becoming op-
pressve that Senator Quay, the man
who is presumed to have carried New
York for HARRISON III the way alleged
bv the New York Tribune, is not the
exemplary character one would like to
see the truly good man of the big Phila-
delphia store gathering vast sums for in
the campaign. 1t might be feared that
he would not always remember ethical
precepts in the disbursement. He is
the conceded party director and con-
tr0lier. In fact, the operators feel be-
wildcred when he finds it needful to
seek temporary secluSiOn in the wildS
of Florida for regeneration. A month
or so ago the New York World reCited
some chapters in the history of this man
as related to public interests, and made
a picture absolutely hideOus to the
moral vision. Among the distinct speci-
ficatOns were: That in 1887 he bar
tered his influence to Gov. CURTIN for
$4,000, and sold him out for S2),-
900; that a little later he offered
the supervisor of internal rev.
GuuO GlsVJU WGCh llUU W uloGul "
an Illicit distilIery that was to make
100000 for him in swindlng the govern
ment; that he originated the $2.000,000
Pittsburg indemnity bill that landed
some of its promoters in the penten-
tiary, and escaped exposure by corrupt
means; and that in 1879 he and the
cashier of the state treasury embPzzled
$4,000 Of state money, and the leaders
made up the sum to save the party,
Don CAMERON contributing S100,0
These are the most serious accusations,
but there are others that make a dark
shading. His personal character is set
forth as in keeping with these public
phases. He is pictured as ali inebriate,
libtrtine, debauChee, profigate and
general bankrupt in the qualities that
are so conspicuous with the truly good
postal man. Although this portraiture
has been before the public so long, not
a word of denial comes from Mr..
QUAY or any of the Republican papers.
1t was hoped the New York sheet
would be shown to have cruelty SIAN
dered one who holds so prominent q
position and is the chief mufti Of
party that has done a great deal of
traffic in moral ideas. 1t is reluctant
suspicion that the facts have not been
vicIouSly distorted.

THE TNWARDNESS.

The contest in North Dakota over the
apparently moribund lottery is not los
ing any of its vivacity, but the inward
ness of the thing is that the elements
that cryStalIiZed about the opposing
sides are girdlng themselves for the
coming struggle for the control of the
r ,publican party. Whatever the sur
face showing or the public pretenses,
the real division will be along the lot
terry line. The feeling that has actUated
the factions is likely to be perpetuated
for years. There is not probably, much
hope on the one side that the lottery
scheme can be revived, but it has fur
nished the framework for band wagon.
as the favOrite Dakota fi& ure is, and the
other fellows are to be kept out. One
faction or the other must trudge on foot
and be heWerS of wood and
drawers of water for the other
crowd. The fight among the Re-
pnblicans is for the occupany of the
band wagon. This will be hotter, if not
so public, than any ordinary tussIe be-
tween political parties. 1t will be a
desperate contest, and the supposed
vehicle Of triumphant music may be-
come political hearSe.

IONA ELECTIONS.

There was no mistake about the Dem
Ocratic majority in Iowa last fall. The
result of the municipal elections held
this week indicates clearly enough the
trend of public opinion in that state, and
it is to the effect that the Republican
party has been weighed in the balance
and found wanting. The Democratic
majority in Iowa has come to stay. The
various explanations the Republicans
made concerning last falls defeat are
exploded by these municipal elections.
The people emphasize the fact that
they want Democratic administration
in both state and local affairs. and they
are going to have it. 1t is encourag-
ing to Gov. BoIEs, on the advent of his
administration, to have the people stand
ing so close to him, and so loyalty in
support of the principles he was elected
to enforce.

ing the whole train taken possession
of Ivy mob of negroes going to or re-
turning from some political meeting or
a circus. half of them drunk and all Of
them disorderly. 1t was a sight that
would arouse the Caucasian blood in
any climate, especially if the Caucasian
happened to have ladies IN his party.
Such scenes were so familiar in MisSis-
sippt that the state legislature felt i'm
PEELED to enact the law whose cOnsti-
nationality was drawn in question. The
supreme court, with its Republican
majority, upholds the law. The very
tact that the court did not invoke the
provisions of the civil rights bill in OPP
position to the Mississippi statute is a
pretty clear indication that we have
reached period when the exact rela-
ton of the races is better understood
than formerly.

Special to the GLOBE.
DULUTH, Mimi, March 4.-Within
a few days articles of incorporation for
a new railroad to tap the VermilliOn
iron country will be flied with the sec
rotary OF state at st. Paul. The pro-
jectOrS of the scheme have been keeping
their plans very quiet, but matters have
now progressed SO favOrably that work
on the line will begin this year and the
road pushed to completion before 1891,
Several surveys have been made north
from Duluth, but exactly which is the
location of the line is not known. But
little is known regarding personnel of
the company. Among those interested
in iron lands on the range, and prob
ably also interested in the new scheme
to reach their property through sources
other than the Duluth ~ Iron Range

NEARLY all the tin plate used in this
country is made in Wales. There is a
duty on it. and if this were doubled it is
believed most of it would still be made
there. 1t is said to be a manufacture
for which trained and skilled artisans
are requisite. Congress is inclined to
greatly raise the duty, with view to
stimulate the manufacture in this cOun-
try. 1t is estimated that to effect this
there must be an increased cost to con-
sumers of about SIS, 100, 900 year. The
canning Industries are greatly alarmed,
as they must have cheap tin. There is
no substitute for it. The can now costs
as much as the contents, often. The
women who put up fruit and vegetables
are interested in the matter. One in
dustry must be loaded with taxes for
the benefit of another.

A RACE DISTINCTION.

The race problem is gradually solving
itself. The decision Of the supreme
court of the United States, sustaining
the validity of the Mississippi law
which requires railroad companies oper-
ating in that state to provide separate
compartments for whites and blacks, is
evidence thatpOpular sentiment is veer-
ing around to the belief that the white
man has some rights which the colored
man must respect. Such law as the
Mississippi statute would hardly be nee
essary here in Minnesota, where the
colOred population is too small and too
respectable to be in any wise offensive.
1t is otherwise, however, in Missis-
sippi. Many a Northerner travelling

Scylla and Charybdis.
Its Disruption Threatened by
the Action Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific.
A Scheme to Get Even With
Roads That Began the
Rate War.
The Organization Cannot Sur
vive If GouId's Orders Are
Carried Out.

KANSAS City, Mo-. March 4.-The
Trans-MiSsouri Passenger association
met in regular session to-day. Owing
to the unsettled condition of rates be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river
all applications for excursion rates were
temporarily laid aside. Then the Mis-
souri, Pacific exploded bombshell Ill
the meeting that may possibly effect
the total disruption of the association.
1t announced a rate of SO between
Kansas City and Pueblo. and rate of S.
between st. Louis and Kansas City.
This is reduction of the regular rate
of So in the former instance and
$3.50 in thu latter. The conces-
sion Of this rate by the association
was vigorously opposed by the Santa
Fee and Rock IslanI and the discussion
of the matter became very heated. Dur
ing it all the Missouri Pacific repre-
sentatiyeS maintained cool equanimity
that was eXaSperating, and announced
that the discussion was useless. The
rate would go into effect Immediately,
he said, whether the association
made the concession or not.
The meeting adjourned without
taking action on the matter, the
consideration of which will be resumed
at to-mOrrow'S meeting. The cause of
this cut III Western rates by the Mis-
souri, Pacific is supposed to be desire
for retaliation against the roads that in
augurated the rate war between Chi
cago and the Missouri river. The
Trans-Missouri association now finds
itself between the horns of distressing
dilemma. If it suspendS the Mis-
souri, Pacific for its violation of the
agreement a disruption of the assOcla-
ton will inevitably occur. If it allows
that railroad to make the rate threat
ened, then it confesses its uSelessness
as an association. Several members of
the organization cannot survive if the
Missouri Pacific persists in its threat to
inaugurate a Western rate war.

BIG EMIGRATION

From the Eastern states to Wash

General Passenger Agent Fee. Of the
Northern Pacific. returned yesterday
from New York, where he has been in
consultation with Henry Willard and
President Cakes. OF course, Mr.. Fee
knows nothing about the reported re-
moval of the Northern Pacific head
quarters or traffic department to Chi
cago. "My visit to New York." re-
marked Mr.. Fee. "was entirely on BUSH
ness connected with the passenger de-
partment of the road. know nothing re-
garding this reported removal, and, there
fore, am unable to talk about it. l can,
however, tell you we are going to have
big emigration from the Eastern
states. particularly Pennsylvania and
New York, to Washington. What are
the reasons for this? Well, chiefly, the
people in the East have now become
thoroughly enlightened as to the adj
vantages offered in that state. TIE
emigration to Washington commenced
in the West-from Minnesota, Iowa,
Wisconsin and Michigan. The wave of
emigration is now striking the Eastern
states. and, as | already remarked. the
outlook is for a heavy exodus of peO-
pie the ensuing spring and summer.
We also anticipate an Increased tourist
traffic. Ray and Whitcomb have hith-
ertO run two excursions yearly to Vel
lowstOne Park, This year they propose
to run six excursions. That is an index
of the passenger traffic we anticipate
the coming summer.

A GRAsPING RAILWAY.
The Canadian Pacific Wants TO
Get Into Duluth.

Inc CanauIan racine w anus to
Get Into Duluth.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, March 4.-There is de-
MONUMENT rapidly approaching. which
is also partially confirmed by officials
recently here, which concerns the Du-
luth and Winnipeg, the Canadian Pa
cific and the Duluth, South Shore 81 At
lantic-the three roads which will Oc-
cupy very prominent place in Duluth'S
future commerce. The career OF the
Duluth 81 Winnipeg is watched with
almost maternal sOlictude by the Cana
dian Pacific. and the reason is patent
when the map is referred to. 1t will be
seen at a glance that the shortest route
by all rail between the Atlantic and Pa
cic oceans is, taking the Pacific coast as
starting point, by the Canadian Pacific
to Winnipeg; thence via the Duluth
81 Winnipeg to Duluth; thence via
the Duluth, South Shore 81 Atlantic
to Sault Ste Marie, where the original
line of road is to be resumed. The saw
ing IN distance is fully 200 miles, to "
nothing OF the saving in time which can
be made by avoiding the well-known
rough portion of the Canadian Pacific
between Sudbury and Winnipeg. This
scheme of the Canadian Pacific will
make Duluth one of the most important
points in line of traffic which has for
its terminals figuratively Hong Kong
and Liverpool. The scheme will be
made more easy of accomplishing by the
aid of the lines of steamers which are
already begun, and which are to be
started by the Canadian road.
Canadian Pacific officials further adj
nit that they are shortening their line
west of Winnipeg 10y cut-offs and the
reduction of grades. and that its en-

Kenyon Gives the Milwaukee a
Few Pointers.

Few POINTERS.
General Passenger Agent Kenyon, of
the Burlington, ridicules the action of
the Milwaukee people in cutting rates
to Missouri points, thinking they would
get back at his road by reducing the
revenue of the Quincy" line. Mr..
Kenyon stigmatizes the action as alb
surd. 1.-THE Quincy people have moth
ing to do with u.s. he remarked, land
it would have been better for the Mil
waukee officials to have kept our little
fight between st. Paul and Chicago.
There is nothing to be gained by going
outside, at least in the direction
Of settlement of our diff
ferences. The position of the Bur
lingtOn road is very clear. We
are quite willing TO raise our passenger
rates between st. Paul and Cb,ca % to a
more remuneratlve basis if the local
roaus will get together and bind them
selves 10 abide by the rates fixed upon.
What the Burlington objects to is this:
Other roads are selling tickets at re-
duced rate through 'ScalperS.' We
reduced the rates to So for first-class
and 81 for sec0nd-clasS to Chicago, and
now there are no tickets sold through
scalpers. What we now want is TO see
the rates go up. and the other roads
honorably maintain the tariff. The
Burlington may not be a great road
like the Milwaukee, but it is difficult to
down."
