SEVERAL KNOTTY PROBLEMS.
Twin City Officials Diligently
Wrestling With Them.

The passenger officials of the railway
lines entering the Twin Cities are now
wrestling with several knotty problems
that may cause considerable trouble yet
before they are settled The most prom
inent Of these is, of course, the con-
troversy or dispute of the st. Paul
Chicago lines with the 500 over the
questions of commissions and differen-
tlals. According to one of the strong
st. Paul-Chicago lines the latter are
willing to concede the 500 the differen-
tial asked. but only upon condition that
the 500 reduce the commissions paid
agents to the same figure as other lines.
Whether the 500 will concede the de-
mandS of her rivals is the question that
remains to be settled.
The disagreement between the
Omaha and the other st. Paul-Chicago
members of the st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis Rate Sheet association was tackled
yesterday afternoon again by the mem
beTS of the association. The morning
piler Of the association, a copy
of the proceedings at the Hotel
Ryan meeting of Feb. 81, and he
at once issued a call for meeting at 3
O'Clock. At that hour representatives
Of nearly all the lines having terminals
in these two cities were on hand. and
the reading of the proceedings of the
February meeting was commenced.
This was not concluded until after 6
o'clock, and so an adjournment was
taken until this morning at 10 o'clock.
As the meeting took place behind
closed doors only rumors can be OBJ
tanned as to the revelations made by the
reading of the report of the meeting
about which there is dispute. but it is
reported that the position of Omaha is
sustained fully by the proceedings of
the 21st of February. Representatives
of the lines deny this and it may sim
ply be a difference OF opinion. Whether
the reading of the proceedings of the
February meeting was satisfactory to
one side or the other cut no figure yes
terday because no action was taken.
This morning the whole matter will be
discussed and an amicable agreement

COURTESY NOT RELIGION.

The evangelist who has been diScourS-
ing nightly at one of the churches the
past week has won much commenda-
ton for the moderation and fairness of
his presentation of his views. His il
lustrations have in the main been very
happy. One, however, seemed open to
a mild dissent. The speaker recalled a
passage in his life when he was recIin-
ing on the ground in the midst of the
most lovely landscape in Western New
York enjoying good cigar. and in the
somewhat rapturous mood that a clear
conscience and delicious indulgence in
a supposed morally InoffenSive practice
at times afford. In the moment Of soft
ecStacy, the startling conundrum came
from an associate, who probably was a
tobaccopho5ists, "What if JESUS CHRIST
should come along while you are smok-
ing; what would you do?" The reply of
the evangelist was that he would throw
his cigar out of sight anu spring to his
feet. The furtherquery was, lis not JE-
sUs CHRIST always present?' This was
conceded to be the theological fact. and
in consequence the evangelist not only
threw that cigar away but entirely
abandoned the use of tobacco. He
was not speaking of the cigarette nor
insisting that any divine decree was
across the tobacco path. 1t was in
ferred that the same spirit was intro
duced that causes gentlemen not to
smoke in the presence of ladies'. Nor
do gentlemen assume indecorous pos
lures in such company. He should not
be caught loIling on the sward by the
Savior; ana, as the latter is accepted as
constantly present, at no time could the
ungainly posture of ease be had. This
conclusion seems much like the former.
Without assuming to be an authority
in such matters, it IS believed the di-
vine mstool the obligations of the
time. If he recognized Jesus Christ
coming with human endowments and
dispositions he should have risen rev.
erently and presented his cigar case.
