Becoming More So.
The Montana Central branch of the
Great Northern reports renewed ac-
tivity. The wool season has closed,
but the cattle shipping season is about
to open from Montana points east
ward. Resumption of work in the Belt
Mountain coal mines will also add more
traffic, to the line. The prospects for
the shipment of cattle and stock in
general are very fiattering indeed
About forty carloads of stock went out
from Great Falls during the last few
days, and orders for at least $50 empty
stock cars have been sent to the traffic
department for use during the coming
week.

How License Works.
From the Burlington News.

The News has suggested that the oppo-
nents of the prohibitory law, having suf-
ficiently proved that the law is not observed
to the letter, would do well to adduce proof
that Vermont would be better off under
either license or local option. The sugges-
tion must be approved, we think, by the
common sense of our readers. Admitting
all its opponents say of the prohibitory law,
the next question is, would license or local
option be an improvement?
Pending a reply to this question, we
may remark that if any one thinks that the
liquor question would be completely and
entirely solved by change from prohi-
bition to license or local option, that per-
son is badly mistaken. The license law is
violated, the local-option law is violated,
just as the prohibitory law is violated, and
just as all laws will be violated until hu-
man nature is regenerate.
For proof, behold two towns in Massa-
chusetts, at this very moment Massachu-
sets has local option law. In Brockton,
a no-license town, the police department is
now under investigation for entering into
a corrupt league with persons selling liquor
illegally.
Taunton is license town. Now mark
the working of the license system in Taun-
ton. Last Sunday all the Protestant
clergyman in town, Is in number, preached
upon the subject of municipal reform.
Each clergyman was provided with a
statement made by a committee of the
ministerial association who visited the
three leading hotels the previous Sunday.
The substance of the statement was that
| in one place within period of 80 minutes,
81 people came in, II of whom were under
Is years of age; % were served with drink.
One man who was badly intoxicated was
served with three drinks inside of three
minutes. In each hotel the law was dis
gracefully violated, and minors and intoxi-
Gated persons were sold liquor whenever
they cared to ask for it. The conditions
pictured were simply horrible.
Rev. A. j. Totsleff of the Universalist
church said that he and Rev. S. V. Cole OF
the Broadway Congregational church had
called upon the chief of police and had
presented to him the results of investiga-
tions which had been made by a committee
OF the association, showing to what an ex-
teut the laws were being ievaded. The
chief had admitted that conditions were as
bad as represented, and said that the
mayor and the licence commissioners
knew all about it, but had not ordered any
action on the part of the police. Rev. Mr.
Totsleff added: 81 feel free to say that the
new commission is hand and glove with
the liquor interests and is practically back
ing some of them in their violations of the
law"
This doesn't prove, of course, that Ii.
cense is universal failure, but it does
prove that license isn't a !cure-al and ISM
an infallible means of solving the liquor
question.

The st. Johnsbury Republican formally
brought out last week Josiah Grout of
Derby as candidate for the governorship
next year. 1t has been well known for
some time that Mai. Grout would be a can
didate, his friends making a strong point
for him in the fact that Orleans county
has never had governor. Further than
this, he has acquired prominence in the
affairs of the state in three terms of service
in the speakers chair, he is representa-
tive farmer and business man and deyot-
ed Republican.
This declaration from the north part of
the state has brought out from the friends
of w. w. Stickney of Ludlow the an
nouncement that they will present him as a
candidate, and will actively urge his fitness
for the office, though Mr.. Stickney will not
himself enter into a personal contest for
the nomination. For him it is urged
that he has high standing as a law
yerl and citizen in his own county, that
he is good representative of the younger
Vermont Republicans, and that his long
term of service as assistant clerk and clerk
of the house, followed by two terms in the
speakers chair, has given him unusual
familiarity with state affairs.
Discussion of this subject is premature
with the nominating convention seven or
eight months away, and the people will be
very. glad to let it rest in peace for the
nresant

An important development in railroad
matters the present week has been the
formation of Joint traffic association in
which all the leading transportation lines
between the West and the Atlantic sea-
board have joined. Thirty railroad COM
panies are included in the association and
nine of the leading trunk lines will name
the board of managers. Among the great
companies named are the Pennsylvania
system, New York Central, Erie system,
Philadelphia & Reading, Baltimore &
Ohio, Delaware, Lackawanna & Western,
Grand Trunk, Wabash, Chesapeake &
Ohio.
The geographical area of the country af-
fected directly by this combination in the
matter of freight rates and passenger fares
embraces the states of New York. New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and
Michigan. All the transportation routes
connecting the great cities of the country
east of the Mississippi are in this deal.
From the financial point of view, the
amount of capital involved in this combi-
nation is something stupendous. The to-
tai is over three thousand millions, or, ex-
pressed in figures, SO, 149, 1855 The
mileage of rails is over $1,000.
The agreement, which is the most i'm
portant railroad compact ever entered into,
states that its purpose is the fulfillment of
| the interstate commerce act; cooperation
to establish just rates, fares and rules
the prevention of unjust discrimination,
the concentration of agencies and the in
PRODUCTION of economies. All these are
laudable objects, and if they should be
carried out in good faith the travelling pub
lie and shippers, as well as the railroad
companies, will be benefited by the agree
ment.
The board of management are to have
authority to fix rates, fares, ETC., on all
traffic passing through certain named COM
petitive points of distribution, except coal,
coke, iron ore, mill cinders, limestone and
petroleum, and traffic destined to or com.
ing from the South.

pany an equitable proportion of the traffic
covered by the agreement, so far as can be
legally done. They are to establish john
freight and passenger agencies, and to hav,
control over contracting agencies estab
lished by the several companies Provision
is made for the imposition of penalties fo
violations of the agreement, and for de
posits from which such penalties may b,
collected.
While this is by far the largest of all tn
trusts yet organized, it is possible, unde
wise direction, economical administration
and the equalization of charges, for tn
earnings of the companies to be sufficientl
increased without increasing charges
Shippers and travellers suffer in the lon
run from cut rates and ruinous competi
ton, for the prosperity of carrying corpo
rations is reflected in the prosperity O
other industries, and the cutting of rate
at competitive points gives rise to unjus
charges for service at other points, wher
the companies can charge all that the trat
fic will bear.

Death OF Ehen ID. Jordan.

Eben ID. Jordan, senior member of the
well-known Boston firm of Jordan, Marsh
G. Co., died last Friday at his home on
Beacon street in that city. He had been
i'll and in a general decline since early in
July. Mr. Jordan's career was remarkable
in that he began life as a boy absolutely
penniless, and by his own ability, energy,
tact and enterprise came to be one of the
leading merchants of the country, leaving
a large fortune and a name Synonymous
for fair dealing and for kindness to deserv-
ing employees
He was born in Maine in 1922. AT the
death of his father, who was a clergyman,
which occurred when Mr.. Jordan was a
mere lad, his MOTHER who had large fam
lily of small children entirely dependent up
on her for support, was compelled to place
the son Eben out in the family of a farmer
in the neghborhood to earn his own living.
AT ii he went to Boston and worked on
farm i'm West Roxbury for 81 a month and
board. When he was sixteen years old he
became a clerk in drygoods store, where
his energy and ability brought him rapid
advancement. With the aid of Joshua
Stetson, one of the leading Boston mer
chants of that time, young Jordan began
business for himself when he was 10 years
old. He was prosperous from the start, his
enterprise leading him to make ma2y inno-
vations upon old-estabished methods. In
1851 the firm of Jordan, Marsh IL Co. was
formed, the junior partner being Charles
r. Marsh, whose death occurred some ten
years ago. They began jobbing business
in small way in Milk street. The phenom-
enal growth of the business since that time
is well known.
Mr.. Jordan had been entirely devoted to
his business all through life, and declined
to accept Office. He was one of the most
public-s spirited citizens of the city, and
was ready to help for ward any project to
secure good government, promote the best
interests of all, or help the suffering. He
was an active supporter of the Union cause
during the war, and was one of the prime
movers in the great Peace Jubilee.
Mr.. Jordon is survived by wife and four
children.
In signed editorial, printed in the Globe
of last Saturday, Gen. Chas II. Taylor, ed
itor of the Globe, said:
"When l took charge of the Boston
Globe in 1878 it had sunk 100000 and
was losing 100000 year. A second S100-
600 was raised and sunk. Then followed
a third 100000 and the turning point of
money-making had not been reached.
| These dollars were buried in the Globe be-
tween 1872 and 1878. Every one of the
original stockholders whom L found here
dropped out during this trying period ex-
cept Eben D. Jordan. He alone believed
that could win, and stood by me even
when the battle seemed almost hopeless.
He was the Napoleon whose presence was
worth more than $4,000 men,"

Third Term Talk.

One of the best informed of the Wash
ington correspondents says that Demo-
cratic leaders more or less in the confidence
of the cabinet circle are quietly including
ex-Secretary of the Navy William c. Whit
ney among the supporters of third term
for Mr.. Cleveland. The recent meeting in
New York between the President and the
eX-secretary, the first in many months, has
given rise to no end of gossip as to its sig
nificance, but the basis of the third term
story is said to be something more than
idle conjecture. The talk of the leaders is
that the President, Mr.. Whitney and Sec
retary Lamont had frank and free ex-
change of opinions and convictions regard
ing the political situation, and the outlook
one year hence. After all this, the story
goes on, Mr.. Whitney repeated that Mr..
Cleveland was the most popular man
among the Democratic masses and that the
situation promised to call for his nomina-
tion again. He informed the President
that so far as he could see there was no
other Democrat in sight who could hope to
win under existing conditions. Just what
Mr.. Cleveland said to all this is not told.
Prominent Democrats from different parts
of New York are quoted as saying that,
while not Cleveland men, and though op.
posed to a third term on general principles,
the "logic of the situation" points to Mr..
Cleveland as the only available candidate for
the Democratic party to nominate next year.
1t is understood in Washington that Mr..
Carlisle does not wish to go upon the SUI
preme bench, but will form a desirable
legal connection in New York city.

clique have ordered the massacres that are

There are many rumors about the physical

Last weeks horse show in New York
was great success, but whether the show
of horses or Of humanity was the more i'm
portant is still an unsettled question. The
horse show has come to be the social show
time of the year, and the Tribune remarks
that it was matter of comment during
the week that "of the hundred thousand
or more who visited the show at least two
thirds-possibly even three-quarters-paid
no attention whatsoever to the horses, and
devoted themselves exclusively to examin-

upon the charge of Sabbath-breaking have
been acquitted. Last year one or two mem

"keeping Saturday" they worked on Sun

given, is that it is permissible for believer
in the Mosaic Sabbath to plough his field,
or work at his trade, or open his shop, on
the seventh day of the week.

One Kind of Southern Sentiment.

There has been a curious ebulition of
southern feeling, growing out of public
meeting held in Boston, and presided over
by the mayor, to protest against occur
rences like the last Texas negro torture
and lynching. More than half of the Mon
day morning mail to Mayor Curtis was
from various sections of the South. These
letters, on the whole, aim to justify the
lynching and burning of colored men south
of Mason and Dixon's line. In many of
the letters abuse was predominant, espec-
tally in those from Fort Worth and Shu-
man, Tex, and Sherryville, Tenn. Along
with many of the letters are newspaper
clippings, some of them illustrated, of the
recent burning at Tyler, Tex. Some of
the writers appear surprised at the fact
that the mayor of Boston should preside
over an anti-lynching meeting. Some think
that all the people of Boston are "fools, -
''idiots" and negro sympathizers. Others
invite his honor to come South and receive
some instructions before presiding over any
more meetings. In nearly all the letters
Congressman Morse, Rev. Mr.. Scully, Ed
ward G. Walker and all of the speakers
come in for considerable abuse. One let
ter goes so far as to say that if any of the
colored speakers were to show up in Texas
they would be treated to a lynching bee
The ''cradle of liberty is sneered at, anC
one letter goes so far as to state that they
will send missionaries up North to teacf
Bostonians how to rule "niggers."

With the condition of affairs in Turkey
going steadily from bad to worse, and none
of the promises of reform being fulfilled,
an understanding appears to have been ar
rived at between the six great powers to
act in concert in bringing the Ottoman
government to its senses. Sixty-six war
ships belonging to those powers are now
in Turkish waters or within easy distance,
and the dispatches intimate that COM

Constantinople, if necessary, to bring
affairs to a crisis. 1t is the belief in Con-

James Fisk Jr.'s Connection with Mr..
Jordan.

Among its notes on Mr.. Jordan's career
the Globe also says:
"In 1864 or 1865 the celebrated James
Fisk was a partner in the house of Jordan,
Marsh Il Co., he having drawn Mr.. Jor-
dams attention to his ability when, as a
pedler in Brattleboro, he bought goods of
the concern. Mr.. Jordan was always on
the lookout for smart young men, and
when Mr.. Fisk came down to Boston to
buy goods to be sent to Brattleboro, Mr..
Jordan met him, and recognizing his abil-
ity, induced him to give up pedling and
enter the employ of the house. During
the war Mr.. Fisk made himself so valuable
by getting different government contracts
and other important business, that he was
given an interest in the concern. This in
terest, however, lasted but short time, as
Mr.. Fisk was very ambitious TO start in
business under his own name, which he
did at the corner of Summer and Chauncy
streets. 1t was only short time before he
sold out and went to New York and formed
his connection with Jay Gould under the
concern name of Fisk, Gould e. Martin"
Mr.. Jordan's will mdae no public bequests
but leaves the entire estate in trust for his
wife, children and grandchildren.
