RAILWAY MATTERS.

ST. Paul appears just now to be prin-
cipaliy concerned in a very much mud
died railroa1 situation. There is almost
complete disorganiZation in rates as re-
CARDS both passenger and freight traffic.
The 500 is, as usual, chief cause of
disturbance. 1t has cut the freight rate
from Boston TO st. Paul via the Cana
dian Pacific so low that freight can be
shipped from Boston to Kansas City by
way Of st. Paul cheaper than by way of
Chicago. Moreover. it makes a rate
from Boston to North Dakota points
that Is lower than the rate from Chicago
to the same points. Chicago naturally
protests again st this condition of affairs.
In passenger traffic, too, the 500 has
been giving Chicago some hard knocks
by cutting rates to Boston, Albany and
New York in compensation for its in
ability to share in the Grand Army
business to Washington. The Central
Traffic association lines have refused to
honor these 500 tickets, but that road
can still reach Eastern points by way of
the Canadian Pacific and Montreal.
Chicago's evaporation is heightened
by the fact that the GOULD lines are
making increased efforts 10 divert
traffic through the st. Louis Toledo
gateway. With this formidable COM
petition on the south. and the
500 on the north. Chicago is between
two fires. Added to the other compli-
cations, moreover, is the Great North
ern's announcements of withdrawal from
the TranScontinental and the Western
associations, which means the end of
usefulness. and probably of existence,
for these two associations.
st. Paul so far appears to be get
ting the best of this chaotic condition
of traffic matters. 1t is getting both
freight and passenger business from
the East to which Chicago considers
itself rightfully entitled, and it will
doubtless benefit also from the Great
Northern's declaration ofindependence.
But things are rather badly tangled I'D.
and it is difficult to estimate Just where
st. Paul will stand when they get
Strengthened out.

A WASTE OF EFFORT.

The GLOBE thinks the New York
Democracy is wasting its brain and
muscle over Mr.. Labor Commissioner
PECK. He says ne has investigated the
operation of the MCKINLEY bill and
thinks it beneficial to the American
worklngman. When somebody asked
him why he thought so. he answered.
THAT is a secret" and refused to tell.
Finally Democrat got out writ of
mandamus compelling him to disclose
the data on which his report was based.
Then it appeared that he had burned
the papers, and now he is under arrest,
charged with the destruction of public
documents.
Ali this seems hardly worth while.
What difference does it make whether
PECK is guilty or innocent, or whether
his figures were true or forged? The
ultimate arbiters of the effect of Me
kinleyism on the workingmen must
be the workingnen themselves. Let
every clerk who tolls for salary,
and every mechanic who labors with
his hands, vote for the Republican can
didates if the latest application of the
protection theory has increased their
incomes. II it has not, let him support
the Democracy's ticket. Were this done,
ten thousand PECKS would not avail to
prevent an overwhelming Democratic
victory in state and nation.

Johnny.

Murphy then resolutely picked up his

and that thereafter interestin the bruis-

Mr.. SULLIVAN lost all save honor and

bout between victor and vanquished
5000 men and 800 women cheered SRI

the eX-king of hard hitters. 1t was such
truly thrilling spectacle that even
SULLIVAN unbent and became almost
human. According to the press re-
ports, SULLIVAN folded his arms
across his breast and turned his ewes
toward the roof to conceal from those
nearest him the moisture that was in

IN JAPAN.

That is very extraordinary contro-
versy which is waging between the Rev.
Mr.. BARTLETT and Sir EDWIN ARNOLD.
Mr.. BARTLETT lis missionary to
Japan, and he undertook to explain to
the Congregational ministers of Chi
cago, the other night, why Chris
tianity spreads so slowly in the land
of the mikado. He said it was be-
cause the lives of the foreigners sojourn-
ing there were so immoral that they
brought the religion OF Christ into
disrepute with the natives. This
would have been all right enough, had
the reverend orator stopped there. But
he did not. He proceeded to Illustrate
his meaning with actual instances. and
picked out the author Of 1.-The Light of
Asia" as his victlm-telling what a sin
full man he was, and how he Ieveled in
the EXTREMIST Of oriental vices while in
Eastern parts. The clcrgymen who
heard him were both grieved and hor-
rified.
1t is not very plain what connection
Sir EDWIN ARNOLD'S immortality may
have with the spread of Christianity. If
the GLOBE is rightly informed, Sir Ed
WIN is not Christian, and does not
profess to be- If he misbehayed him
self in Japan, the missionaries might,
with much effectiveness, have held him
up as a terrible example. But he has
answered his accuser. and says that his
charges ''are simply ca!umnies unwor-
thy Of serious attention" He gives an
why Christianity does not take a firm
hold in Japan. The Japanese are too
metaphysical and philosophical he
declares, ''to accept the Christian dog
mas the missionaries teach" He mod
estly declines, in this way, the unenvia-
bic distinction of blocking the progress
of the Christian faith in the East, and
gives full credit for its failure to the
Christian faith itself.
In charming contrast with the sugges-
tions of the clergyman and the poet is
the picture Miss GEORGIA CAYvAN,
the actress, draws of life in Japan. She
has been spending her vacation in that
interesting country, and is full of en-
thuSiasm over what she saw there. lit
is Also" she remarked, ga good place

mering. There is absolutely no mis-
chief to get into. There are no amuse-
ments and few entertainments. Early

rule" The moral degradation which
the clergyman saw, and which the poet
denies his completely in. escaped en-
tirely the notice of the actress. There
is no doubt at all about the superiority

4 Republican Protest Against an
Organs Malice.
The silly and malicious attacks of the
morning Republican organ of this city
upon Hon. Ii. Ii. Hawkins, the Demo
cratic nominee for lieutenant governor,
and Judge Weston Hammons, the well
known Duluth Republican leader, have
disguised the Republicans of St. Louis
county. Both of these gentlemen stand
we'll in their home districts. where they
are known. The Duluth Tribune, Re-
publican paper, was willing to say moth
ing as long as the war was directed
against Mr.. Hawkins, but when the or
gan attempted to discredit Judge Ham
mons the Tribune entered vigorous
editorial protest. 1t follows:
Several days ago Judge Hammons, of
this city, was interviewed by the st.
Paul GLOBE in reference to the stand
ing OF Capt. IL. II. Hawkins, the Demo-
cratic candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor. Among other things the Judge
said:
"While am a Republican, and ex-
pect to work and vote for the straight
Republican ticket, | must say that it
appears to me most unfair attempt has
been made to bias the public mind
against Hon. II. II. Hawkins, the Demo
