THE 500 SMASH.

1t Makes Hate That stirs Up
the Great Northern and N. p.
CHICAGO. May 1S.-The Soo-Pacifc
has taken action which bids fair to stir
up world of trouble over the transcon-
tinental passenger rates. Some days
since it announced an intention of put
ting into North Pacific coast points diff
ferentials of $3.50 tirst.class and SIS sec
ond class. 1t asked the Western Pas
senger association lines to put the rates
in its rate sheets, and the request
being refused. the 500 Pacific declared
that it would put in the rates
anyhow. Now the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific have
asked the association lines to
make the same differentials as were
asked by the 500. This means that the
competitors OF the 500 line have no i'll
tention of allowing the latter line to
walk away with business. ChancrS ara
i therefore excellent for some lively de-
liberalization Of rates. Some time ago
the Alton road was fined by the West
ern Passenger association for all in
fringement OF the rules regarding the
checking OF baggage. 1t has persist
emily refused to pay the assessment. and
HOW says that it never will pay until
some other lines. Which have been fined
i'll days past, pay the association what
they'Owe it. The Alton makes no eff
for to argue against the justice of the
fine imposed against il. 1t simply will
not pay until the others do likewise.

The contemplated removal calls to
mind the growth Of this institution. LII
1858 Mr.. Makubin and E. s. Edgerton
started private bank at Seven corners.
On July 4, 1857, the bank was moved to
Third and Franklin streets, and the
Peoples bank, organized under the
state law. was started, with e. s. Ed
gerton president and D. A. Monfort
cashier. This was the only state bank
which went through the panic of. '57
and redeemed its currency in coin.
On the I'd of December, 1864, the Sec =

with the same officers. For fifteen years
the bank was on the corner opposite it's
present location, at the corner of Third
and WabaSha streets. and for fourteen
years has occupied its present location,
making twenty-nine years in the same,

ANOTHER SUMMONED.

The grave has scarcely closed over
the remains of Judge Wilkin before an
other old settler--the Hon. Jared Ben
son-has responded to the final sum-
mons.
Though not professional man
though the greater portion of his life
was spent upon thu farm. Mr.. Benson
occupied a prominent position III the
state and took part i'll legislation and
public movements which laid the
foundations of Minnesota.
A man of very positive convictions
and of exemplary habits. he commanded
respect for his views and his earnest
ness. even from those who were his polit-
ical adversaries. His chief political OPP
ponents. however, were within the ranks
of his own party, but he Outlived all
personal opposition and animositleS.
and as recently as 1889 he was sent TO
the legislature from the district where
the political controversies of lifetime
had been waged.
Mr.Benson wos ambitious to be recog-
nized as party leader, and he succeed
ed, to the neglect of his own personal
interests. He was strong man in his
party, because he was always decisive,
and in senatorial or other factional COLI
tests within the Republican party Jared
Benson'S name never appeared upon
any ones doubtful" list. He early
allied himself with what might be
termed the Ramsey faction of the party.
and though others swerved, notably
some of the prominent politicians with
whom he was intimate, Jared Benson
remained steadfast, regardless of how it
might affect his own political fortunes.
When he said he would pursue any
line of action he kept his word. He
never engaged in double dealing, but
was plump political friend or foe. 1t
was by such course that he gained. in
the counsels of his party. position Of
strength and influence.
A legacy of wealth and greatness is
not left to his children, but what is far
better-a good anC honorable name and
lite work whichhas made permanent
impress in shaping the destinies of the
commonwealth.

the GLOBE is not disposed to refuse the
little that is rendered. The new tariff
bill is in some details an improvement
over the Mckinley act. The reforms
it inaugurates are accepted. not as the
full measure of the peoples desire, but
in the spirit of the starving man who
accepts half loaf rather than do with
| out bread.
"a Disguised Farmer" is right in de.
nouncing the pending bill as '.the mis-
cradle excuse of tariff reform bill"
But Democrats cannot afford to reject
1t, inadequate though it may be. 1t is,
perhaps. the entering wedge that will
ultimately rend the solid rock of pro-
lection to its foundation. A sick man
gratefully takes an Opiate that tenn
porarily relieves his pain. even though
he knows it does not cure his disease.
The American people are very sick at
present with the disease of protection
ism. Perhaps an Opiate that would re-
lleye them entirely of the disease would
Oe fatal. 1t may be necessary to en-
plOy the tactics used by many success
ful generals in warfare-to carry the
small Outworks before attacking the
chief fortress of the enemy. Whipping
an army by attachments is favo rite
policy among many successful military
men. During our own civil war the cry
OF ION to Riclmond'' was raised
early in the struggle. just as many
now clamor for an attack upon
the citadel of protection. But Grant
and Sherman and Thomas and Sleri-
dan knew better than their critics,
and not until after Tennessee, Louisiana,
Georgia and the Carolinas had been
subdued was concerted attack made
upon the Confederate capital. 1t was
the policy to weaken the enemy by
whipping his armies 10y attachments.
He was completely surrounded, and the
lines gradually contracted as farmers in
wolf hunt contract their circle around
their caruivOrOuS pack. And when
finally the last ditch was reached surren-
der followed. just as it will follow the
persistent and systematic warfare of
the tariff ref0rmers upon the system
that has brought so many ills upon the
people.
A Disguised Farmer" need not
DOUBT the allegiance Of the GLOBE to
tine cause of tariff reform. 1t will never
cease to demand the full measure of re-
form, and it will never neglect to take
all it can ket in that direction. even
though it may be little. In the end the
completion of its desires may be reached
"a tariff for the necessary expenses

AT THE THEATERs.
"Lady Windermere's Fam"

Oscar Wilde's great play, "l.ady Win
dermere's Fam" is one Of the most
artistic successes on the road. Nothing
approaching the third act in naturalness
or dramatic originality has been placed
on the stage of late years at least. The
company is ideal in every respect and
its acting impresses one by the very
lack of that which goes to make up
much Of the So called modern school OF
drama. the OVERRIDING of parts and the
ranting about, which last should he

hair must be torn ont to render more
dramatic such speeches as My lord,

THE inquiry into charges that sena-
tors have been bribed by the sugar trust
should develop some reasons for the in.
applicable change OF front by some of
our SolonS Oh the tariff bill. Men do not
undergo radical changes of opinion on
questions of grave public concern unless
they have good and substantial reasons
for their conduct. II Will probably be
shown that the sugar trust was able to
present such reasons in the shape of
certificates OF stock carrying large cash
dividends. OF perhaps the cash itself
was used as an argument to prove that a
duty should be imposed upon the sac
