ST. PAUL, Sept. 90 Thestory which
comes from Sioux City that j. j. Hill
had acquired control of the Sioux City
and Northern. and the Sioux City,
O'Neill and Western, has no founda-
ton in fact. Mr.. Hill said he could
not understand how such an absurd
rumor had obtained sufficient credence
to be regarded as worthy OF tele-
graphic notice. The whole thing was
fabrication out of whole cloth, with
out anything to recommend it to seri-
o-s consideration. The roads would
be of no value to the Great North
ern, and We're more naturally trib-
utary to Chicago systems. At any rate
he wished it to be understood that such
deal had not been effected, aud that
the Great Northern had no desire to
acquire those properties.
rs there any truth in the rumor that
the Great Northern IL about to lease
the Wisconsin Central" asked the re-
porter.
There is not a word of truth in it."
replied Mr.. >Hill. what could we do
with the Wisconsin Central? AT pres
ent we have six connections with Chi
cago, which is much better than one.

this letter and Mr.. Cleveland for being
SO frank and outspoken. Bankers and

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 29.-An
important decision has just been rem
dered by the secretary of the interior
affecting the title to what is known as
Wisconsin Point. The land was settled
upon by one Bullen, but no patent was
issued to him, as the war department
thought it best to hold the land for
lighthouse purposes. Several others
have claimed the land as homesteaders,
but decision has been rendered in
Bullen's favor by the secretary of the
interior, thus throwing ont all the
homesteaders, including John A. Bar
don. who has been living on 80 acres of
the land for number of years.

The resol alton offered by Mr.. Teller
calling for information as to the antici-

senate and gave rise to discussion
which lasted three-quarters of an hour.
Opposition to it was made by

ground that it would require a 6nan-
cial history of the country for the last
IS years, but, after explanation by Mr..
Teller, of the scope and object of the
resolution, Mr.. Voorhees, objection was
withdrawn.
After still further discussion, in
which Mr.. Teller berated his Republi-

to stifie inquiry, the resolution was
agreed to.

THEIR DIAGNOSIS.

Philadelphia Merchants Blame Tar
iff Agitation For Hard Times.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. ga large
number of Philade phia manufacturers
have determined to make an effort to
protect their own interests by making
an salliance with the friends of silver.
To that end they have sent an open let
ter to the senate of the United States by
Wharton Barker who proposes a basis
for the settlement of the silver ques-
tion by which silver may be continued
as money metal. The manufacturers
who have inaugurated this movement
d0not attribute the present hard times
to the Sherman law. They assert that
it is due to ne fear that the protective
feature of the tariff is to be undermined.
They hold that if assurance were given
that the existing tariff laws would not
be disturbed for the next two years,
business would take an immediate
| boom, mills would start in all
parts Of the country and
employment would be given the
| thousands of idle workinen. While
| holding these views they also believe
/ that it would be mistake to demone
| tize silver. These manufacturers be.
lieve that in many RESPECTS their inter.
ests are allied with the mine owners OF
! the silver states. Il was that belief
which prompted the movement among
the Philadelphia manufacturers TO Civ,
encouragement to the silver senator's il
their fight to continue the white meta
as a part of the currency of the Unitet
States.

TWO INTERESTING AND IMPORT
ANT ADDRESSES.

There are published in the RECORD
UNION this morning two speeches made
on Tuesday before the State Board of
Trade on the question of the proposed
Winter Worlds Fair in San Francisco, to
which we invite especial attention. The
speech of Mr.. Mills and that of Colonel
Irish each give especial emphasis to prin-
ciples of importance relating to just such
local enterprise and public spirit with
which it is sought to animate the people
of Sacramento at this time, and which
effort has been largely successful, but is
still lacking the fullness of accomplish
ment. While these admirable speeches
have this local bearing, their exposition
of reasons for the proposed fair at San
Francisco are lucid and strong, and go
long way to clear off any doubts that may
have existed as to the feasibility of that
scheme. Aside from these two import
ant characteristics, however, the speeches
will be found to be admirable commenta-
ries upon conditions in California, and
the remedies that must be applied to
rouse the people of the cities and the
State out of the do nothing" and into
activity in the do something" policy.

THE defense is set up from local ju-
dicial bench that the poor mans, the
cheap saloon, is not, though sometimes
called a dive, to be classed as a dive
simply because it is not elegantly fitted
up. Who ever said that it should be?
But the chances are that place called a
dive by officers is dive. The difficulty
is that every dive classes itself as poor
mans saloon, and whenever an effort is
made to put stop to the nefarious bust
ness it prosecutes it puts up a pititul
mouth and seeks shelter behind the thin
mask poor mans saloon" This is an
insult to the poor man. 1t is down.
right outrage to besmirch honest poverty
with such connection. The decent poor
man is just as self-respecting as is any
other. The decent, honest poor man does
not pour the wages of his labor into the
hoppers of dives. or disgrace his children
by housing in them for moment. The
fellow who does support them is not en-
titled to be classed with poor men at all
he is a drone, vagrant and an eye-sore
to society. In the name of the decent
poor men of Sacramento we resent the
imputation that it would seem is cast
upon poor men from local bench in the
defense of diges-provided that the court
referred to, in making the sub-judicial
remark, intended the same to be taken as
exhaustive of holes that every one knows
are dives; hell-holes that the self-respect-
ing poor man abhors and avoids. Let it
be clearly understood that the dives shall
not shelter themselves behind the hum
BILE cloth of the honest, self-regardfuI
poor man.
