Silver Speech, and Senator
Gray Favors Repeal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The action
of the senators from the silver states III
absenting themselves from the chamber
on the roll calls was an undoubted sur
prise to the repeal men. If this should
bect me part of The policy of the oppo-
nents of repeal, it would become an en-
barrassing element in the contest. Tie
senate remained in continuous session
six hours and half today, its longest
session since the repeal bill was taken
up. The repeal bill was taken up when
the senate met, and Senator George
spoke against repeal. Mr.. George read
his remarks to a slim audience. and
several times the roll was called to de-
velop the presence of a quorum. The
opponents of repeal from the silver
states refused in some instances to an
Swer when their names were called.

HIS RAILROAD CAREER.

The Acquisition of the St. Paul g
Pacific - Down to the Great
Northern.
AS the railroad manager as the world
knows him today, the life of James j.
Hill began with the acquisition of the
stocks and bonds of the st. Paul &
Pacific railway and the organization Of
the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
railway. 1t was late in 1873 and early
In 1874 that Mr.. Hill, In connection with
Commodore Kittson and Donald A.
Smith (now Sir Donald), took up this
matter, bat 1t was not until 1876 that the
taks was accomplished. The Dutch
bondholders were not loath to part with
the bonds on which the interest had de-
faulted. The state had passed through
the most depressed period in its history
and had possession of one branch of the
line, under mortgage foreclosure.
There were two branches of the line,
and to secure them it was necessary to
buy the bonds of one and acquire the
stock Of the other. But the word fail
was not in the lexicon Of Hill, and in
connection with N. w. Kittson and
Donald A. Smith and George Stephen
(now Lord Mount-Stephen). of Montreal,
the funds were raised, and the properly
secured. 1t then became necessary to
raise money to reconstruct the old and
build the new road. and through the
same influence loan of $32, 100000 was
made, the st. Paul. Minneapolis & Man

general manager from its organization
till 1882. when he became vice presi-
dent; in 1883 he was elected president,
which Office he still retains.
The idea Of a western outlet was al
ways uppermost in the mind of Mr..
Hill, and in 1880 he associated himself
with Messrs. George Stephen, Donald
Smith, r. B. Angus, Morton, Rose &
Co., of London, and other capitalists, in
the building Of the Canadian Pacific.
MIR. Hill, however, foresaw that a
through line within the Canadian bor-
bers would initiate against the Mani
toba system, instead of being a mere
feeder. SO in 1883 he sold to the others
his interest in the Canadian Pacific and
again turned his thought and energy to
a western line of his own. The COM
pleti0n of this is matter of modern
history, ana is properly placed In tno
story of the railroad itself. Its compile
tion crowned the life work of James j.
Hill, and is the subject of the demon
stration of which st. Paul is now in the
midst.
honor to the man and the work! Men
may come and go; policies may grow,
change and disappear; monuments and
medals may crumble back into forgot
ten dust; but the man who builds
great railroad system leaves behind
him an imperishable memorial in the
country he has created.

humble capacity. He served faithfully
and what work he had to do was well
done. Advancement followed In the
natural course OF events, and as the
young man rose In position he gained q
more solid place in the confidence Of
his employer, the late Commodore WILL
lam F. Davidson.
First coming before the public In the
amusement field at the old Grand opera
house on Wabasha street, Mr.. Scott has
achieved reputation in his chosen field
that any man might take justifiable
pride in. The mettle of the man-his
indomitable character and tireless
energy-was we'll evidenced at the time
the old Grand was destroyed by fire. He
secured Market hall from the city, fitted
it up as a playhouse, and on his own re-
spOnsibility conducted 1t successfully
until the Metropolitan was ready to
open. In saying this, it must not be
forgotten that tremendous obstacles
were overcome, diScOuraging circum-
stances were battled against; it took
untlnching nerve, stout heart. and
alert brain to secure good companies
and high-clasS attractions, to make any
sort of success out of so poor an ex-
cuse for theater. But it was done, and
the people of st. Paul have warm spot
in their hearts for the man who accom-
plished the feat.

country, capacious. complete, we'll To-

and I will furnish a like amount and
We'll build public library for st.
Paul" But tine committee insisted up
on the celebration and Mr.. Hill could
but acquiesce.
From the fact that most Of his benevo-
lences hare been quiet and unknown to
the public. 1t would be in poor taste to
refet to them now, but there have been
public acts of generosity that are prop
erly matters of record. When he chose
to give money. he did 80 with liberal
hand. and made his gift worth the Civ
ing and taking. For instance, he gave
the muni6cent sum of $500. 900 to endow
the magnificent Catholic colleges now
building near Groveland Park. This
gift came entirely unsolicited. Some
time ago. when Manchester college was
in sore financial distress, Mr.. Hill quiet
ly handed in aecheck for $4,000. which
tided the institution over its difficulties.
When his new home on Summit avenue
was completed, he left the Tenth street
mansion just as it stood. without remOv-
ing stick of furniture, and turned it
over to the Little Sisters OF the Poor.
A most notable instance of Hill'S
goodness of heart occurred two or three
years ago. A certain man in st. Paul
stood desperately in need Of assistance,
but was either too proud or too timid
to 90 to man of influence. Mr.. Hill
heard Of 1t and through a third party
sent to the distressed individual "tip"
on certain stock, with the advice to
take whirl in the market. The man
did 80, but did not learn for months
after he had recuperated who was his
benefactor.
In this connection. 1t may be stated
that Mr.. Hill is a wonderfully modest
man, with morbid dread of seeing him
self in print. He never gave out an
interview unless the information sought
was for the general good or public in
formation. Above all things he dis
liked the idea of seeing his picture in
print and never consented to furnish
photograph for that purpose. In fact
he seldom sat for picture in the pho
tograph line, though very handsome
oil portrait, the work Of one of the fore
most artists of the world, hangs In his
new home.

Napoleon under his arm, cut branch
from q tree for fishing rod. and away
he would go to the woods, where he
would sit till sundown reading and
studying all alone. He was a strange
child. always preferred his books and
solitude to any outdoor sport or amuse-
ment of any kind.
The great Napoleon was his idol from
early childhood, and he was often heard
to say ''he would never be satisfied until
he had conquered poverty, as Napoleon
conquered nations"
Jim'S father was Tory and staunch
Orangeman, as were all his ancestors,
and decided, as long as Jim wouldn't
work on the farm, that he would make
Presbyterian minister of him, and,
when he was seven years old, he was
sent to the lockwood academy, where
for ten years he was studiously engaged
in laying a solid foundation for his edu-
cation. Whether Jim wasn't as good a
Presbyterian as his father or not isn't
told. but he concluded to 'shake the
ministry for the mercantile trade" and
he went into A. Passmore's general
store in lockwood as clerk. So we'll did
he succeed as salesman that the next
year Mr.. Passmore placed him at the
head of his store in Guelph, But. like
his idol, he longed for greater things
than he found in the small town in
Canada, and he concluded to 60 West.
He travelled through the Eastern states
and finally reached St. Paul and began
upon the career which finally landed
him in his present position. This was
in July, 1856, when he was eighteen
years of age. He had fair education,
which did not, however, run upon the
ordinary lines, but which taught percep-
tion and observation, and which was
calculated to aid him in his steadfast
determination TO go to the top. He
started at the bottom and was glad. in
the beginning, to obtain work as "mud
clerk" on the levee, for Brunson, Lewis
d White, agents for the Dubuque Packet
company, for rs cents per day, of which
he laid away certain portion each pay
day. He did his work in the most sat
isfactory manner. Notwithstanding the
fact that every night he sat up till mid
night, pouring over his favorite authors.
He studied and saved. 81 will be a

Young "Jim" Hill came of good stock,
and was not, as has been
the current belief, born in pow
erty, though there was no sill
yer spoon noticeable about his counte-
nance when he was ushered into exist
epce. But he seems to have made it
his determination to put the spoon there
at the earliest opportunity. 1t was just
ffty-fve years ago, Sept. 16, 1888, that
Hill first saw the light of day in little
log house in the back woods of Canada.
IT was In lockwood, Eremosa township,

St.Paul is the acknowledged center for every.
thing in Fine Furs. The climatic conditions are
such that it is necessity for residents of this
ton to dress warm during the winter, and in doing
the highest type of the furriers art has been
called into play to combine warmth and comfort
with elegance and style. No other city in this
country produces such quantity of Fur Garments
for Men and Women as this city does and 1t Is
but reasonable to say that right here the most
artistic cutters and skillful fur sewers can be ound
In latitudes further south, where the wearing
of costly Fur Garments is only required for Style
and Abbeaarance, and not for warmth, the same
and attention that is given to the selection of
skins here is lacking there. The cutter and sewer
of cloth garments there also make up everything
they sell in furs, while in ST. Paul the cutters, /
filters and fur sewers have distinctive field of
their own, and do nothing from years end to
the other excepting fur work.
For this reason St. Paul has earned the
reputation of producing the greatest quantity OF
durable, stylish, wear-ressting garments in fur OF
any city in this country.
In this connection we wish to remind all who
contemplate trip to the

chat 1t had connected st. Paul. and the
Pacific ocean with bands of steel, but
at that time the pageant and the senti-
ment were directed less to man than
to fact.
The unusual and most wonderful
feature of the great events of which we
are now in the midst, is found in the
statement that it is the general conces-
sion by the public that this great event
is entirely due to the genius of one
man.
That man is James j. Hill.
Who is James j. Hillf 1t is astonish-
Ing that so few people are able to
answer the question, beyond the state
ment that he is the man who made and
controls the Great Northern railway
system; and yet it is simple Of solution
when it is known that up to the past
few weeks. when the present celebra-
tion began to take on form, no accurate
sketch of his life had ever been printed.
Everybody knows the outline of the
master skill with which Hill took hold
and made Of the Great Northern line
the great, thoroughly built and econom-
ically managed trunk line we find ii
today; but of his birth and early life
history, his struggles in paving the way
for his triumph of today-how few are
those who can claim familiarity?
His early history is study. 1t car
2 ries the lesson that every obstacle melts
away before the indomitable energy and
and the dauntless will of him who shall
conquer. Look the world over, and
whenever you find man who sets his
heart upon darling object, whom dan
gers cannot daunt and difficulties can
not swerve, who can concentrate to his
purpose all his heart, soul and nerve,
and use all things and all men to the
one great end, there you will find the
man who will rise above his fellow men
as surely as the sun climbs above the
forest trees. Such a man is Hill. He
was born Napoleon and carved out his
own destiny.

of eighteen followed the advice OF
Greeley and started West. He came TO
st. Paul in May, 1856, and entered the
dry goods store of B. 4. Irvine q Co. as
a clerk, and also clerked in another
store until 1860, when he went
to Kansas City. where he remained
few months. In November of
that year he went to st. Peter in
this state and took a position as teller
in the bank Of Edgerton & Donahower.
In June. 1861, he enlisted in the Second
Minnesota infantry and served his coun-
try until December, 1854. when he re-s
turned to st. Peter and accepted the
position of cashier of the First Nation
bank, which position he held until he
was appointed United States marshal in
May, 1890. He was lieutenant of
his company for eight months, and its
captain for two years and six months.
He was member of the Minnesota
National guards for seven years, and
was lieutenant colonel of the Third
regiment, which position he resigned
when he accepted the office of United
States marshal. Col. Donahower makes
