Aiming for the Coast.

The proposed new Wyoming and
Utah railroad, recently incorporat-
ed to run from Casper, Wyoming,
to Ogden, Utah, is a very import
ant line. In many respects this is
the most important item of railroad
news of the year. No other track
of equal length could SO complete
ly change the railroad relations.
It will extend northwestwardly of
the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missou-
ri Valley road to Ogden and give
the Vanderbilts continuous line
nearly across the continent. The
new line will be perfectly indepen-
dent of all connections except the
Southern Pacific at Ogden, and
will become the most active compe-
titor instead of the closest ally of
the Union Pacific. The route of
the Wyoming and Utah will follow
the old Mormon trail from Casper
to Ogden. 1t is capitalized at &c.,

II didn't have very good luck
with my seeds last year," a farmer
was heard to say. This gives rise
to the question: How many poor
crops can be attributed to "luck" in
the selection of seeds? Buying seeds
is an important factor in farming
and should receive the careful judg-
ment and consideration of the far
mer. tits almost always impos-
ible to distinguish the good from the
bad in seeds by sight, and the only
infallible guide for the planter is
the reliability of the scotsman. D.
NJ. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, Mich,
have for many years been the lead
ing seed house of this country, and
their reliability is unquestioned.
They issue book annually which
contains complete digest of the
very latest gardening knowledge by
the best authorities. The 1898 edi-
ton is handsomely illustrated and
contains information about the Sc
lection and planting of seeds which
will prove of greatest value to every
one planting garden or farm. 1t

CANDIDATES NELSON AND SEARLE CALL AT
THE OFFICE OF THE MAGNATEs.
IF Jim Hill wanted to banquet Nelson
and Searle why did he not take them to his
house in a close carriage instead of to the
Minnesota club:" asked one of the leading
Republicans of the new Sixth district at the
Merchants yesterday. THAT dinner party
reminds me of the Belshazzar feast in New
York city in 1884. 1 thought Nelson had
more sense than to do trick like that
President Hills conference with Messrs
Nelson and Searle was the principal topic of
discussion among the politicians yesterday,
and. while the Republican leaders would
laugh at the thing in public. if taken aside
and interviewed. many of them were frank
enough to say that Candidates Nelson and
Searle had commenced their campaign with
a costly break. The publication of the din
ner party at the club on Friday was the
means of bringing out some interesting in :
formation regarding trip made by Messrs.
Searle and Nelson to the Great Northern
building to see President Hill earlier in the
day.
Il had occasion to go to the Great North
ern building Yesterday afternoon said a
well-known Republican yesterday. II went
up TO Mr.. Hills Office and found both Nelson
and Searle there waiting for MIR. Hill.'
The dinner engagement was probably
made at this meeting in the morning.
This was never denied by either Mr..
Nelson or Judge Searle and will not be.
for the simple reason that every state
ment made can easily be substantiated.
1t will now be in order for the PiO-
neer Press to publish two-column edi-
tOrial admitting this visit to the Office of
Mr.. Hill but proving that he called to
see the Office boy and sat in the outer
Office chatting with him, while President
Hill. carefully hidden away in his inner
office, was wondering who the Repub-

the doorway of Adam Decker's store
and raced like a quarter horse up Jack

distanced his pursuers and escaped.
The cloak was afterward found
and returned TO ths owner. About
1920 Sergeant Sexton arrested
Ed Johnson and locked him up as being
the one who attempted to steal the gar
ment. Mr.. Ryder visited the station
and identified johnson as the thief.
The empioye who was in the store at
the time also recognized the fellow. MIR.
Ryder said Johnson had been in the store
two or three times lately examining
fur caps. but had made no purchases.
At the station johnson said it was
case of mistaken identity. He claims
to have been in st. Paul but short
time, and halls from Chicago. While in
the store looking at the caps Johnson
told Ryder he was employed on one of
the river boats as a cook.

Hon. Peter Nelson, of Goodhue
county. will he the next secretary of
state OF the grand young common
wealth of Minnesota.
AT the time the Democratic state con-
ventien metin Minneapolis it was a
we'll known fact that Senator Nelson
was not candidate for the nomination
OF secretary of state. Indeed, member,
OF his own county's delegation told the
delegates so, but there was feeling in
favor of the nomination of Mr.. Nelson
that could not be subdued. For quar-
ter of century Mr.. Nelson has been
known to the people of this state as a
loyal. self-sacrilicIng Democrat. and the
delegates argued that he would not re-
fuse the nomination.
And they were correct.
AT first Senator Nelson was Inclined
to ask the party to release him on ac-
count of his health, but after carefully
considering the matter in all its phases
ne reached the conclusion that it was
his duty to accept the nomination and
make the tight. Chairman Baker re-
celved the following letter yesterday
from Senator Nelson:
RED Vine, Mimi. Aug 2s, 1s92.-Hon
Lewis Baker, Chairman State Committee
Dear Sir: After due reflection l am con-
strained as matter of duty to accept the
nomination for secretary of state rendered
me by the late Democratic state convention.
While the present stale of my health NAV
prevent my taking very active part in the
campaign, assure you that with this lImita-
ZION and 10 the extent OF my ability will
heartily cooperate with YOU in yOur Datri-
Otto efforts to secure the success of the
Democratic tickets and the triumph of Demo
cratic principles. Yours respectfully,

THE GRAND FORKS CONVEN.
TON,

There is no doubt at all about the wis
dom of the position taken by the reel
procity conventions at Grand Forks yes
terday and the day before. 1t demand
ed that every facility should be secured
by the cooperation of the United States
and Canadian governments and of prl-
yate enterprise for the encouragement
of closer trade relations between the
two countries. It called for more rail-
ways, improved water communica ton,
the abolition of oppressive tolls, and the
removal of all restrictions on the inter-
change of commodities except such as
the raising of needed revenues de-
manded.
These views are popular in the Amer
lean Northwest, where everybody of
any judgment believes in free trade
with our nearest foreign neighbor. They
are not so popular in Canada. There the
doctrine of protectioniSm has taken hold
of the majority, and the Liberal party,
while increasing in strength. has never
yet been able to get the control of
affairs. The time Is coming there, how
ever. as it is throughout the rest of the

goods are not curse to the country
which enjoys them.
The astounding development of our
own national wealth is due to the absence
of tariff barriers between our political
subdivisions more than to anything else.
Each state concentrates its attention on
the lines of work in which it is best
fitted to excel, and draws on it's neigh
bors for the things which they can pro-
Guce most cheaply. What we want to
do is to extend the application of this
system, first perhaps to the queens do
main which lies to onr north, and then
to all the lands of the earth.
The notion that we have anything to
gain from a foreign nations adversely is
relic of the medieval times when
statecraft was the pastime of selfish
princelings, and when states talked
with each other through no medium ex-
cept the medium of the sword Now
are happier days in sight, when friend
ship will be the international ideal and
the federation striven for will be a fed

NATRIMONY AND THE CENSUS

The census of 1890, discredited and as
sailed though it be. is a never-ceasing
source of interesting information. In
it the student Of sociology finds food for
reamS upon realms of reflection. 1t
throws light into the dark places of
nearly all the conditions, as we'll as the
theories, which confront us as a people.
Even the great problem of matrimony
is mixed up with the census, as, in truth,
it is only natural and proper that it
should be. We learn from the census
that-popular tradition to the contrary,
northumberland are more Jacks
IMAM Jills IN this country. In fact,
there are a good many more-a million
and half more. The precise figures
are 32,067,SS0 males and 3O,554, $40 fe-
males. This leaves just 1,513,51O un-
fortunate trousered bpeds who would
be bachelors from necessity if they or
some others weren't so from choice.
These unfortunate Cor basely I'M
appreciative) individuals are chiefly
satellites of the westward star of
empire. In proportion to her total
population Montana claims the most of
them. the ratio in that state being two
males to every female. In nearly all the
western states trousers prepOnderate-
even in Utah, which, with its ITO aga
males to 97,442 feamales, successfully
refuteS the SANDER that all Mormons
are provided with a plurality of better
halves FOR quarters, or eighths. as the
case might beg. In Minnesota there are
more men than women, but comparison
with the census of 1850 shows that the
softer sex is catching up with us. We
are entirely willing to be caught, and
before the next census it is to be SIN
cerely hoped that the race will be an
even one. Meanwhile what few Mime
sofa men are constrained to go outside
the state for better halves will assuredIy
not have the poor gallantry and execra-
Die taste to do so before the home sup.
ply is entirely exhausted.

LET him look at what his right-hand man
is imputing to Knute Nelson because he

business pending in Judge Searle's court
and the railroad president, the lawyer of the

In view of the extraordinary political i'm
portance OF this great astronomical event.
which the GLOBE very accurately describes
as 3 BelshaZzars 1east where the handwrit
ing on the wall visiOly foretold the political
downfall of Knute Nelson-the Pioneer
Press has taken great pains 10 ascertain the
exact truth of the matter. There is very posi-
tive evidence that James j. Hill very fire.
quently takes his luncheons at the Mime
sofa club, and the weight of testimony goes
to show that he dined there on the twenty
ninth day Of July, 1892. 1t also appears that
at the same day and hour Knute Nelson and
d. Is. Searle lunched or dined at the club.
1t is true they ate their Ubiquitous meal at a
different table from that at which sat MIR.
HILL But the fact is established beyond
question that he was in close proximity to
them, in the same room in fact. The evil
dence is thus conclusive that they aimed in
the same restaurant at the same time as Mr..
Hill, and that consequently, in large and
comprehensive political sense, they dined
with him. The case is thus clearly proved
against Mr.. Nelson. 1t is difficult to see how,

STILL DECAPITATING.
The City Hall AK in Good Work
ing Order.

IuS Ofucf.
The joint court house and city hall
commission is still in the decapitation
humor, and is getting itself into a
sweat over that course. AT yesterdays
meeting Gustave CRUDE was elected
first assistant engineer Of the building,
Ira c. Eggleston was elected second
assistant engineer. and Ed. Maloney
fireman. These take the places of John
Bottoner, M. Thomas and Joseph Doerr.
Engineer Montgomery notified the
committee that he would insist on being
paid his salary as engineer of the build
ing until the end of the term for which
he was elected; this will be some time
i'll June, 1898. 1t is stated that num-
Der OF Republicans, among them being
men who know Duffy, the pres
ent engineer. as well as Mont
gomery, went to Mayor Wright
and told him that the committee would
make a great mistake in putting Duffy
in the place as engineer. They asserted
that he is not competent to fill the posi-
ton, and has not had experience as an
engineer. A Republican said yesterday
that the mayor had promised some time
ago not to put Duffy in the place, but he
has stultifed himself by forcing Duffy
on the committee. Sam Hardy APP
peared before the board in company
with Attorney MCGEE and demanded
payment of his salary as ianitor for the
latter half of the month of August. 1t
is claimed that Custodian Bigue had no
right to discharge Hardy without cause
in the middle of the month. The mat
ter was referred to the corporation and
county attorneys for opinions on the
legality of Hardy's claim.
Custodian Bigue has discharged the
elevator men, Theodore Erickson and
NJ. Waterman, and they are after back
pay.
The committee adopted resolution
rectng that Nj. A. Smith has refused
to remove his cigar stand from the
building, and directing the custodian
and county attorney to remove him and
his stand Immediately. 1t seems that
the proposed successor of Smith has
not complied with former resolution
of the joint committee III buying out
Smiths stand. -.
The county auditor was instructed to
advertise for coal for year.
The monthly pay roll for August. ag
gregating S1,2l6.66, was ordered paid, as
was also the quarterly salaries of the
members OF the committee, aggregating
5000.
