RAILROAD BILLS ENOUGH
Will Be Introduced at the Coming
Legislative Session.

1t seems TO be the current opinion that
the next legislature, which will assem-
bic in st. Paul a week from tomorrow,
will consider an unusual number of rail-
road bills. This is possible, though not
especially probable. The railroads are
very apt to believe so. because of the
presence in the Legislature of SO many
farmers. and the Northwestern Rail-
roader very naturally thinks so through
sympathy. 1t says it has information
that bills have been already drafted, or
are in course. of preparation, as follows:
A bill to amend the existing act to
regulate common carriers by providing
for more complete process of law'
by the railroad and warehouse commits
sion in the method of holding investiga-
tions, issuing orders and for enforcing
the same with the assistance of the
courts.
A second bill amending the same act
including complete tariff of maximum
freight and passenger rates.
A third bill amending the same act
providing for an appeal to the courts
from any order of the commission, and
that the commission shall not make any
order which inpairs the power of the
company to earn proper compensation
for services rendered.
A bill establishing q twO-cent maxi
mum passenger rate in the state.
A bill reducing the fares on the inter-
urban lines between St. Paul and Min
neapoliS.
A bill providing for greater care and
diligence in running trains on all lines
in the state, with especial regard to
dangers to passengers on double track
lines when boarding or alighting from
trains, and holding the company re-.
Spcnsible for any injury CT loss of life
caused by accidents ON such double
tracks at such times.
A bill forbidding the use of common
stoves or any device for heating passen-
ger cars and cabooseS in the state which
shall not have been approved and
authorized by the railroad and ware
house commission.
A bill, modelled after the Iowa law,
providing for the adoption of automatic
coupIerS, driver brakes and continuous
freight train brakes on all cars and
engines in the state.
A bill making the Office Of railroad
and warehouse commissioner elective.
A bill imposing additional obligations
on common carriers iii the matter uf

RANDOM REMARKS.

According to calculation by that
venerable patriarch. DR.. David Day. it
will only take matter of 500 years at
the present rate of increase for the pop
ulation of this country to increase so
that there will be but three square feet
of space for each inhabitant. The
lethargic indifference with which the
American public views the awful pros
pect is amazing.

tanned in the Sunday issues. and asking

writer. The letter writer modestly con-
cludes with: Il am convinced that the
GLOBE needs just such man as myself.

is the case and that am worth the
salary | ask" Come up and try, young
man. You will fill an aching void.
Just now the local pencil puShers are
kicking at the void, but with y OH among
them-well, just come and visit round
while, anyway.
That the demand for newspaper men
is on the decrease in the Twin Cities is
apparent from the exodus of that class
to the Pacific and other coasts III the
past few years. Journalists, on the
contrary. are in brisk demand. and the
supply is apparently inexhaustible.

The case of Thompson VS.. Thomson,
in which the Dispatch has been reyel-
ling of late, is one of deep interest-to

The fight now in progress between
the senate and house anent the urgent
deficiency appropriation is only a
duplicate of the century-old scrap be-
tween the business and editorial depart
mentS of great American newspapers,
regarding an appropriation by the
former to increase the salaries of the
latter. Those senator's clerks are har-
boring vain deluSion.

cert Yesterday.
The fourth sacred concert of the Sci
bert series was given yesterday after
noon at the Turner hall to large audi
ence. The programme offered was one
OF characteristic attractiveneSS, and the
work OF the orchestra was thoroughly
artistic. The opening number was
Bach's Amazon March," given with a
dash and spirit that awoke the interest
OF every listener. Mendelssohn's over
ture, "Helmkehr aus der Fremde,n was
rapturously applauded, and the inter-
probation was truly magnificent. Refs
siger's trio for piano. violin and
cello. with Miss Louise Sci
bert, Prof. Muehlenbruch and Au-
gust Triebel as participants, was very
artiStically given. The fantaisie"ChriSt-

truth the varying scenes and emotions
of the season, appealed directly to the

RETIYs MANY HUSBANDS.
Though Not Yee Twenty-Five Years Of
age, She Has Been Married six Times.

Though Not Ycr Twenty-Five Years OF
ago, She Has Been Married six Times.
4 letter from Bradford, Pa. to the
Philadelphia Press says: "Ten years
ago the little tavern at Emerson's Mills,
in the Pine Run lumber region, was
kept by an odd character, Elias Benton.
He had a very pretty daughter named
Betty. Her mother was dead, and she
looked after the household affairs OF the
tavern. She was sixteen years old. and
Edward Shot, bark contractor, young
and well-to-do, was in love with her and
wanted to marry her. Betty wanted to
marry young Shot, but her father had
other plans, and she was compelled to
obey.
He chose for her husband q man
three times her age, who owned a large
pine tract in the neighborhood, a yalua-
bic property, that landlord Benton was
anxious to possess. He compelled his
sixteen-year-old daughter to marry this
man. Aulds by name. He lived only six
months and left his young widow the
pine land, which her father sold and up
propriated the proceeds to his own use.
Young Shot in the mean time had closed
his contracts and gone away. One year
after the death of her husband Mrs.
Aulds married, TO spite her father, John
Grover, a sawyer. lie was killed in his
employers mills one month later.
The landlords daughter was now twice
a widow, although she was not yet eigh
teen years old. Two months after her
second husbands death Edward Shot
returned TO Emersons Mills, and on her
eighteenth birthday young Widow Gro
yer. who had grown defiant of her father,
married her old-time love. The couple
live happily for q year, and one child was
born. The child was not two weeks old
when the father was crushed to death by
falling tree in the woods Widowed
now for the third time. the landlords
daughter mourned her third husband
sincerely for two years. About this time
her father died.
At the age OF twenty-one she made
what was regarded as a most fortunate
marriage, her fourth husband being
Elmer James, a young Warren county
lawyer. James turned out TO be a
drunkard. He abused his wife and her
child so shamefully that she had no diff
ficulty in obtaining divorce, which was
granted four months after she became
Mrs. james She remained single then
until she was twenty-three, when she
married George khone, a widower OF
fifty. He was a prominent man IN
the locality. Before they were married
a year Khone died with the small
pox. His young wife nursed him all
through the course of the dreadful dis
ease, escaping without taking it herself
Hhone left bis widow $4,000 in cash.
Not long after her last husbands death
she took her child and went to Ohio,
where she had relatives living. This
was one year ago. Last Tuesday she
wrote to a friend in Bradford that she
was to be married the next day in Gov
ington, KY. to a young man named
Charley Green, bluegrass farmer.

CUMBERLAND q. H., Nov. IL, 1891.
70 the Editor of the Dispatch:
The last public words of General
Grant were
"Lst US have peac7."
The nation has at last replied :
"Amen."
II can no longer be said that the
change in the House Of Representatives
has been made by the vote OF the solid
South. 1t has been done without aid
by the votes of northern constituencies.
No election SINCE 1860 has meant more
and shown more than the one Just over.
There was a moral and sublime mean
ing in the nomination OF Horace Greeley
for the presidency. 1t was the extern
sion Of the olive branch by the South.
Forgetting all he had said and done
against the South, he was presented by
the conservatives OF both sections to
proclaim what the people have just done.
But the hour was not come then. 1t has
come now. The strife fought out by
men according to their honest conyic-
tons is over. Let us be brothers again.
The nation has sent those who have
been still attempting to blow into flame
the dying embers Of the war to retire
rnent with severe rebuke. The chair
men on the committees who reported the
force bin and the sectional tariff bill have
been defeated The voice OF Massachu-
setts has said to Lodge, " Peace, be
still" Reed has been rebuked for his
partisan tyranny, ingalls, for his aerimony
and spite.
Union. as OF old, is an indestructible
bond among fellow-oitizens, and those
citizens brofhers, all equal and all re-
cognized and protected by the oonSu'u-
ton OF our fathers.

Qred people genernHy, the Ncics says
that they "took very little interest IN
the election. Although there was

they cared nothing for either candidate.

negroes in one southern State have
shown that they will stay sway from the
polls il white boss tells them to do so,
and in other southern States have shown
that they care very little about voting

Chairman Eilyson.
IAmhnrat Now Ern.l

We feel little tjckled at the Lndcr-
ADDcat in giving TO Chairman Ellyson,
Of the State Committee, all the credit Of
the late grand victory won by the Demo-
cratic party in this State. As the Lynch
burg NfUS says, Mr.. Ellyson is q fine
man, q good Democrat, and an excellent
chairman OF the State Committee, but
we fail to see how any man who sits in
his Office end sends out campaign mat
ter and occasionally rides through a
district and speaks is entitled to the
credit OF winning the victory. Chair
man i,llyson did his part efficiently, but
the success OF the Democratic party this
time was due to several things. In the
first place the intelligent people of Vir-
GINA were Disguised, enraged, but
bent on rebuking the tyrannical sectional
legislation Of the majority aud also the
gross injustice done them by seating
Waddill over Wiseand Langston, the ne
gro professor, over Nenable, their fairly
and legaily-elected representative, there
by virtually committing theft in the
second place the non-actlon OF Malone
elected Lawson and Epes. There are
not enough Democratic votes in the Nor
folk and Petersburg districts to elect
them. The Republicans had the MAORI
ty. Then how could the Democrats elect
their men?
No, Malone was mad because the Re-
publicans in Congress ignored him and
recognized Langston as the head Of the
pounblican marty in Virpinia and seated
him f; SO Billy issued his orders to stay
away from the polls and show who was
the head Of the Republican party in this
state. He did it, too. Therefore, we
believe these are the two main reasons
why the Democrats gained such a vic
tory, and not to tue work Of any one
man. But all OF these causes combined,
with the neyer-ceasing work OF the press,
the local leaders, the voters did it.
