LET HIM EXPLAIN.

Mr.. DoNNELIY has engaged rooms at
Cincinnati, that he may be comfortably
qualtered during the coming Alliance
convention, and he is also booked for
many public debates, in many places,
on the life and work of SHAKESPEARE.
1t is a great relief TO the Minnesota at
mosphere to have this jack of knaves
in the pack of humbugs transfer his
butfoonerieS to other clines, and gen
eral smile of qualification has dihnsed
Itself through the community over this
welcome news. If his travels afford
him any leisure for meditation, the
GLOBE suggests subject for the exer-
else of his thoughtful ingenuity. This
man was elected to the state senate last
fall as a representative of the people,
and, at his own desire, was made chair
man of the senate railroad committee.
His talk would have implied that he
sought this position that his infiu-
ence might be felt in shaping cor
poration legislation in the interest
of the agricultural classes, with
which he claimed to be in COM
pletest sympathy. Now it comes to the
ears OF lnlS paper tnat during the entire
session the meetings of the senate rail-
road committee did not in the aggregate
cover more than an hours time, and
that DONNELLY never called its mem
berS together except on such short no.
tice or on such occasions that he knew
it would be impossible for them to at
tend. What is the explanation of this
remarkable fact? This is the subject on
which the GLOBE wants this fierce ora
tor to reflect during his absence from
the state, and it would like to have him
equipped on his return with smooth
and plausible apology for his course.
The GLOBE proposes to put this ques-
ton to HIM from time to time until he
answers it. And if he does not answer
it himself. the GLOBE will answer it for
him. 1t thinks that it knows the ex-

A PEACEFUL MEETING
Western Freight Association
Holds a Quiet and Smooth
Session.
The Northwest Will Enjoy
Tourist Rates Despite a
Deadlock.
Manipulation Of Rates Must
Be Stopped if Kicking Is
to Cease.
Items Gathered for People
Who Are Interested in
Railroads.

CHICAGO, May 12.-When the West
ern Freight association met to-day it
proceeded to do business under the
regular rules of that association, with
out regard to the presidents agreement.
At the March meeting an attempt was
made to enforce the rules of the West
ern Traffic association, but without sue
cess, and the attempt has not been re-
newed at the present session. AS con-
sequence there has been no interruption
to the proceedings, although the CHI
cago & Alton, the Chicago, st. Paul &
Kansas City, and the Kansas City,
Fort Scott 81 Memphis are all rep
resented. A number of matters
scheduled for consideration are
disposed of without friction, and the
meeting will be continued tomorrow.
A subject that will probably come up
again is the application of the Burling-
ton road for authority to make lower
rate to Beatrice, Neb. When the appli-
cation was first presented the Burling-
ton Insisted upon its taking its own
course under the rules of the Western
Freight association, but afterWard con-
sented to let it go to the board of COM
mlSSioners of the Western Traffic aSSo-
CATION. From that DO 1y it was referred
to the advisory board. At its recent
meeting in New York the advisory
board failed to take action on the appli-
cation, and the question of jurisdiction
as between the two associations still re-
mains unsettled.

a GREAT REVIVAL.

GOOD people often adhere to ancient
g5iigiOuS dogmaS that have lost all the
e1tality they may have had, for fear that
saeir excelsior will endanger the whole
structure. The revision of creeds and
Re- departures are deprecated. not so
much for the sake of the parts affected
as for the apprehension that any letting
down of the full measure of the fathers
will suggest the condition of the strong
man who gave up his locks of strength.
The alleged hereSies of the men who
search and delve for themselves fill
them with forebodings that the power
ful STRINGS that have marked the
growth of religious sentiment in the
past will no longer be witnessed if there
IS consent given to any of the new con-
structions. Ohio has of late been some
thing of a storm center for the
later hereSies, and nowhere has
greater dissent been had to what
have been regarded as the austerities of
creeds: yet the city of Cleveland has
been the scene, and the work is still
going on, of a religious awakening that
has had few parallels in the later his
tory of the country. Rev. MILLS. an
evangelist, has conducted the work, all
the churches combining in the effort.
His methods have none of the flare and
noise of old-time religious revivals;
nothing of the frenzy that has been
thought needful. but are apparently as
rational and moderate as those Of the
evangelist who has been laboring i'm ST.
Paul. So far over 1000 persons have
given their signatures to declarations
or new religious purposes, and the
churches are swarming with lew mem
berS. AS an illustration of the preva-
lence and power of the movement. it is
stated that great numbers of the manu-
featuring firms and business houses
close up a part of Wednesdays
to hold sort OF mid-week Sabbath
and enable the employees to attend the
services. 1t is believed the conversions
viii exceed 10000 when the special eff
fort terminates. That would be about
1000 or 5000 in st. Paul. A revival that
would bring that number into the
churches would be regarded as pbe-
nomenal. The lesson that NAV be de-
rived for the cheer of Christian peOnle
Is that no apprehension need be felt
that the practical potency of the relig
lOuS inculcatiOns will be enfeebled by
the speculatiOns over creeds. These
may serve, in fact, to intensity the con-
Victions as to the practical features
ana the relative unimportance of dog

MORE WRANGLING.
One Continual Round of Rate Out
ting in the Central.

CHICAGO, May 12.-The freight de-
partment of the Central Traffic associa-
ton met IN regular session this morn
ing, but, after referring the various
subjects to the subcommittee, adj
Journed until tomorrow An imp0r
tant matter to be considered at this
meeting is the action of the Big Four
road in reducing the rate on high wine s
from Peoria to New York to 321% cents
per 100 pounds, reduction of six cent s.
This makes the tariff lower than tn at
from Chicago, which is 80 cents. The rea-
son given by the Big Four for this action
is that other lines, which it does not
name, have been secretly cutting the
rates on high wines. Chairman Blanch-
ard has notified the officers of the Big
-Four that he cannot authorize ship
mentS to pass inspection at a lower rate
than that fixed by the Joint rate com
mittee. The Rock island road to-day
asked permiSs ion of MIR. Blanchard to
meet the reduced tariff from Peoria, but
received the same answer that was
given the Big Four. 1t is probable that
the latter road, which has printed its
tariffs to take effect to-day, will appeal
to arbitration. OF withdraw from the
association. 1t has also made an author
lied reduction of the cotton rate to the
basis of % cents from East ST. Louis to
New York.

THE OIL INSPECTION LAW.

The GLOBES esteemed contemporary
| from North Dakota, the Minneapolis
Tribune, is in error again. 1t is still
commenting on the shortcomings of the
last legislature. and this time the trouble
is with the oil Inspection law. There is
10 proper provision for this public serv-
ice at present, but the Tribune is
wrong when it says that the Democracy
and the Alliance are to blame for the
confusion. The oil inspectorship has
been one of the most notorious political
sinecureS in the state for great many
years, and it has been no easy task TO
put an end TO such an abuse. The legIs-
lature of 1889 wrestied with the prob
lem and stripped the Office of lis fees.
But it made no appropriation for the in
spector's salary. AS long as he received
pay from the oil companies this made
no particular difference, because he was
able to deduct his pay from his receipts
and rely on the next legislature to con-
firm what he had done. But when the
courts in Minneapolis decided that no
larger sum could be charged for the
testing of tank of kerosene than was
demanded for barrel, the revenue col
lapsed, and with it the office.
This was the state of affairs when the
legislature of 1891 tried to settle the
matter. The senate committee quickly
discovered that the oil inspector,
whether he received fees or salary, got
something for doing nothing. There
were no duties connected with the office.
The oil companies in practice were al
lowed to pass upon their own product
and to use the official stencils for the
purpose. 1t was at once determined to
abolish the position altogether and to
transfer its functions to the dairy and
food commission. whose deputies could
do what there was to be done economic
ally and quite sati sfactorily. A bill to
this effect was introduced ana passed
the upper house. The Democracy and
the Alliance were practically a unit in
its support, and the only opposition it
received was from the Republican
leaders like Senator TAwNEY and Sen
ator CRANDALL. When it got to the
house the bill was held back in the hurry
of the last days by the sklllful maneu-
verS of the oil inspector and his friends,
who worked vigorously against it on the
floor and in the lobby. Vigorous oppo-
sition of any kind was fatal to any
measure at that stage of the session,
when cooperation was needed to secure
a hearing for bill in the stress of the
competition of the many. Had it not
been for thus, the present condition of
affairs would have been avoided. The
importance of an oil inspection law is
commonly overestiInated great deal.
but if its lack is a thing to be deplored,
it is the Republican party which is to be
held responsible for it.

THE SEAL SCANDAL

Asthe facts ooze out in regard to the
seal business, and the relation of Uni
ted States diplomacy to the interests
OF the monopoly in which STEVE
ELKINs. ID. 0. MILLS and other init
mate friends of the secretary of state
are benefciaries, the deSirabilitv of n
complete calculation is enhanced. The
glst of the history seems to be that Mr..
BLAINE has manipulated matters for
the benefit of his personal friends at
the expense Of the public interest.
While the companies that held their
contracts from the preceding admins
tration had the field, Mr.. BLAINE was
deeply exercised TO prevent the destrnc-
ton OF the seal fisheries through the
greed of the monopolists. 1t seemed to
him then to involve a Question
of good morals. He was SIM
ported in this view by an exhaustive re-
port from Prof. ELLIOTT, of the Smith
sonian institute. the famous expert in
all fur matters, and this was confirmed
by the statements of Treasury Agent
GoFF. This report was made last wear
and was designed to be presented IN
congress. To subserve some of the sub-
tleties of diplomacy as intimated, the
state department checked its passage to
the public eye, and it has not vet reached
that point. 1t presented the situation
IN SO strong light as to compel cessa-
ton of killing seals for some wears tn
save them from extinction. Agent Corr
had been able to reduce the numba.
killed very considerably. But the con-
tract had been let TO the new company
in which ELKINs figures as the DO
ltieal manager. The English min
lister had accepted the last years

IS 1T THE HOLY GHOST ?
Oil Inspection and the President
of the Chester Company.

IN i"SpCctfOH anu the PreSlOenC
of the Chester Company.
Something definite is expected to be
done by Gov. Merriam to-day in regard
to the oil inspection muddle. 1t is two
weeks to-day since the inspection of oil
ceased. There is difference of opinion
among dealers as 10 the necessity for
the continued inspection of oil. Some
of them say that now, when there is SO
great demand for gasoline. there is no
need for inspection of oil. The governor
has been acquainted with this, and
there are more unlikely things that the
outcome OF the present oil inspection
middle IS that there will be no more in
Spectlon in this state. In the meantime
JuStuS Bragg, president and treasurer
of the Chester Oil company, requests
the privilege to reply TO an article on
oil inspection In the GLOBE. He writes:
In your issue of May appears nsar-
tlcle in relation to the oil inspection
muddle. The writer says ut is given
out by those who Know that the
Standard, the Globe and the Chester OIL
companies are but one company. The
authority referred to as "thoSe who
know" is apparently Dilworth Rich
ardson, who figures later on in an inter-
view that furnishes a long-Sought OPP
portunlty to get his grievances before
the public. Among other things he
says 1.-The whole of the oil companies
have paid the gratuity to the state oil
inspector for over a year." when it is
notorious fact that the Northwestern
Star Oil company and Robert Seeger
have not paid dollar for oil inspection
since the decision of Judge Young.
This certainly is unfair towards the
companies who do pay.
Dilworth Richardson also talks about
combine to tie up d large amount of
capital for two years in the state treas
ury for the purpose of ''downlng'' his
company. | think this scheme exists
only i'll his fertile Imagination, and is
used for the purpose of creating sympa-
thy for his benevolent purposes as an
oil dealer.
DIlworth Richardson facetiously re-
ferS to the Standard, Globe and Chester
Oil companies as "The Great Trinity
Oil company" The order in which they
are named would indicate that the CheS-
ter is the holy ghost of this great trim
lUy. The facts are that neither the
Standard nor the Globe Oil companies
own or control dollar of the stock of
the Chester Oil company of Minnesota,
and, while the Chester disclaims the
honor of being the holy ghost of any
trinity, and is ready and willing to enter
into any fair and equitable arrangement
whereby oils sold for Illuminating pur-
poses shall be legally inspected, it ap-
pears to hav made itself a holy terror
to some of those dealers who are trying
to play the sympathy racket, and posing
exclusively as wholesalers while they
are running consumers tank lines by
proxy.

TOURIST RATES.
The Northwest Will Get Them De
spite the Deadlock.

CHICAGO. May 12.-It is evident that
tourist rates will be established
throughout considerable portion of
the Orthwestern territory notwith-
standing the deadlock in the Western
Passenger association on the question
of their general adoption. Represent
atives of the Northwestern lines met at
Chairman Finley's office this morning
to consider the Wisconsin CentraPs an
plication for relief from the inequality
caused by the issue of tour
ist tickets by the Milwaukee, Lake
Shore d Western. to become effective
May ID. That road, which is not a mem
Der of the association. has announced a
round-trip rate of $3.50 between Mil
waukee and Ashland. which, added to
the round-trip rate of $3.50 between Chi
cago and Milwaukee, makes a rate of
S2o from Chicago to Ashland and return.
which is $3.50 below the tariff. Chair
man Finley decided to give the Wis
consin Central authority to meet the
rate. 1t can hardly be doubted that
other roads will now ask permission to
make tourist rates to other Northwest
ern points that are in competition with
Ashland. The Chicago & Alton, how
ever, does not object to the making of
these rates i'll the Northwest 1t only
insists that rates between st. Louis and
st. Paul shall be no lower.

THEY WILL IRRIGaTE,

South Dakota does we'll to RELY upon
its own efforts to provide the moisture
needed for the security of its agricult-
ural interests, and not wait for The slow
development of any measures instituted
by the general government. The legis-.
latuTe has authorized the towns to bond
themselves for boring artesian wells.
The broad valley of the James, from
Yankton to Glendale, has been shown
to have artesian waters accessible to the
uses of the farmer. Nearly every prom
inent point ia this region has from one
to halt-doZen or more wells throwing
up water at pressure from so pounds to
200, and the flow is only limited bv the
size of the boring. The multiplication
of wells in any locality does not mate
rally affect the force of the streams, if
it has any influence on them. There is
very little of the state east of the Mis-
souri, river that does not have this arte
sian water. The earlier theories of some
of the scientists that artesian waters
must be insufficient for general agri-
cultural purposes must apparently give
way to the visible facts. The water is

vided the forces for sending it up where
it can be utilized, if only the avenue is
opened. All that is needed to make that
country flow with milk and honey. as
it were, is that this subterranean factor
in the growth of crops shall have
chance. The exp eriments made last
year show that irrigation made more
than three bushels of wheat to grow to
one on the adjacent lands not artificiaIIy
watered. 1t is stated that under the i'm.
pulse given by the action of the late
legislature wells are being bored in
great many of the townships. Where
they can be a success there can be no
hesitation in believing this indebted
ness wise and prudent. The prophets
are very voluble of late in proelaiming

need of stopping the killing. But the
adroit secretary appears to have ayerted
action. The ELLIOT report was not
made public, and Agent GoFF was
given service in another sphere. The
ELKINs company has no concern about
determination of the seals, so that it
does the work. The poachers have done
a great part of the killing, and the YES
sells they employ are understood to be
owned largely by the monopoly. Some
repressive authority has prevented in
reference by tue government watchers.
The later information is that the presi-
dent has insisted that action shall be
had with the British authorities, and
cessation of the killing enforced. 1t is
a matter of Legitimate inquiry as to how
far the action had has been dictated by
the spectators who have the exclusive
contract with the government.

BLAKIE's BRIGHT BOYS
Make Delightful Music in the
Choir's Third Concert.

CnO1r'S IhlFQ Concert.
The third of the series of concerts
given at Christ Church Guild house by
the church choir occurred last evening.
Prof. James Blake, to whose careful
training the choir owes its excellence,
was director on this occasion. The
opening number was the part song, 1.-The
Hardy NOrSeman'S House of Yore I'm
this number the perfect drilling of the
boylsh voiees became apparent. 1t was
given in most artistic style, and was re-
ceived with great favor by the large
audience. Ernest Nelson song, Tears"
was sung by the lad with a ire and
pathos worthy of older understa nding.
His voice is full of expression. and be-
trays training. Willie Johnson's 'EIegie
pour Violin" was very successful.
though the wisdom may be doubted of
placing so difficult an instrument and so
comparatively difficult a composition in
is made by almost all teachers, who are
anxious that their pupils may
be heard to the best advantage,
of giving them music altogether
beyond them. In the Allegro and Min
uetto from duet in G, violin duet, bv
Masters Johnson and Temple, the re-
suit OF this was apparent, for the bows
played half tone flat throughout.
Master Carl Heine's piano solo, the
march from ''TannhauSer," was by tar
the most artistic instrumental perform
aDce of the evening. His interpreta-
ton was technically correct, and in
some passages the expression was good.
Taken as whole, 1t was a most credit
able performance. The afterpiece by
the choir MINISTRIES was very amusing
medley. VIII Temple and Henry
George were the end men, Paul Floyd
middle man and Robert Wood and Harry
Grueble tambos. The opening over
ture, ''Suanee River" by the company
went well, and Will Temples parody
on Hoey's inimitable They're After

Nichols, with the chorus, received an
encore. The entire programme was
very creditable to the choir.
