A i.i, the opponents of Ramsey or j\lc

with the defeat of the other. Dark
horses will then lie at a premium, and it
is not improbable that Charley Oilman,
who so effectually, demoralized the ring
a little over a year ago, will come smiling
to the front. Stranger things might
happen than his election to the Senate.

pany is in hard luck. The extension
of the American Union lines to all the
principal points in the country has dc-"
pressed the stock of the older company,

dominion. It is evident that the stock

will not pay as large dividends in the fu
ture as in the past.
Having been prohibited from holding
meetings on Sunday, the Irish land-
W-amiers changed the date of the assem
blages to Saturday. The magistrates in
terfered with these also, and dispersed
them by reading that terror of all Britons,
Irish included, the riot act. It is evi
dently the purpose of the British goTern
ment to wholly prevent the assembling of
the people for the discussion of their
grievances. -
lln. Wn.i.t.VM AI.MON WhBB—SB, the
lone . I shcrman of Malonc, has been
brought out as a compromise candidate
for Senator from New York. He is not
popular with Cpnkling, however, though
ho is with the people of the State in
general. He is. at any rate, as competent
a man as the Republican party of the State
contains, has had ■ large legislative ex
perience, and is a fluent : speaker.- The
only blot upon his character is his accept
ances of an office to which he was not
elected. ■ ■ j v^t
TltE LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS.
The result of Ac Republican caucus
was as the Globe announced it would be
— blow in the face for Ramsey. Mr.
Loren Fletcher stood as the. Republican
candidate for ; speaker; he also stood as
the Minneapolis candidate, and last he i
come out as the candidate friendly to
McMillan. "With all these strings to his
bow bis selection by the caucus is not a
surprise. His only a wonder that his
victory was not more overwhelming.
• Tin; Ramsey men raised, the sectional
issue for the double purpose of prevent
ing a direct Ramsey issue being made,
aud also hoping to secure" Southern Min
nesota votes from those, who were not
friendly to or pledged to Ramsey. The
Ramsey men hoped to gain a point with
out squarely snowing their hands, and
they were most woefully disappointed.
The informal . ballot showed Fletcher
92 votes and Dunn 20. While if Fletch
ir> s vote is greater than McMillan's !
strength in defeating someone else, it also
...largely represents the anti- Ramsey
.1 strength, and at last demonstrates that
- there -are enough to combine to defeat
him (Ramsey.) His trainers should j new
draw him from the race to avoid the de
feat, which is inevitable. - The only ob
ject of longer keeping Ramsey on the
track is to continue a disturbing element.
>'o one will any longer consider that Rani.
-.v can secure the election, for himself.
It only remains for his henchmen to use h's
name that they may be more effective
The election of Fletcher therefore, is
an omen of Hamsey's defeat. The goody
goody Mike McMillan has recently en
abled Fletcher to settle for an immense
amount of government stumpage at a
merely nominal figure. In return there
for, Fletcher is under obligation to sup
port the goody goody Mike, aud he
always discharges his political obligations.
On local grounds the selection of Fletch
er is bad for St. Paul as the committees
will doubtless be framed on the "Minne
apolis plan," but for this sell out the Mc-
Millan crowd are responsible. Both the
Ramsey and McMillan men would sell St.
Paul in a moment to make votes for
themselves.
One consideration that Charley Foster
is alleged to have received for withdraw
ing from the Senatorial contest in Ohio
was the promise that he would have the
disposition of apart of the federal patron
age m that State. Sherman's supporters,
however, laugh in their sleeves when the
subject is mentioned, for they well know
that Sherman will never surrender a jot
or tittle of the power that his position as
Senator will give him, promises to the
contrary notwithstanding. The fact that
he has been left completely out in the cold
is dawning upon Foster's mind, and he is
in no amiable mood in consequence, re
fusing to talk on the Senatorial question
even with his most intimate friends.
AN ENEMY OF ST. PAUL.
The Double Headed Newspaper—Constant
ly Stabbing St. I'aul, anil Laboring to
Advance Minneapolis-- A Journal which
St. Paul lsu»ini-«- Men should Repudiate.
To the Editor of the Globe.
J Although us you know,a life-long Republican,
the only daily newspajwr I have taken for the
past two years, published in St Paul, has
been the Glob?:, for the reason, like many
other business men, my business interests in
St. Paul are of more importance to me than
political interests. lam astonished that
more of our business men have not yet awakened
to the fact that by their subscriptions and ad
vertisements given to the Pioneer Press, they
are supporting the worst enemy this city
ever had. This may seem a strong statement.
Let us see if I can verify it in geueral terms.
I would state, for the past few years that jour
nal has devoted most of its ability to praising
up everything pertaining to our sister city
Minneapolis, and grossly exaggerating every
euterprisc that was even rumored to be started
there, while, whaUittle it has said regarding
St. Paul, has been put in a half hearted way,
iv the mildest form, generally in small type,
and in an obscure corner. Time and time again
in my commercial travels iv the upper coun
try, when discussing matters pertaining to the
two cities, I huvc had parties say, after making
some absurdly untrue statement regarding the
trade or "business of Minneapolis, "why, I can
prove it by your own paper published in St.
Paul," and then they would produce a copy of
the "Pioneer,"' "the St. Paul and Minneapolis
Pioneer" to prove their statement.
Anil now as to a bill of particulars. Let ns
lake a late date of the P. P. in which they give
the business statistics of the two cities for
IWSO. I note they state St Paul's showing is
I very good one for a city of 41,000! (United
States census of St. Paul, only half tftken,
41,689, while of Minneapolis they say: The
most magnificent showing ever made by a city
of 50,000 people, East or West. (United States
census 4t>,929, and this is a falsification as the
Globe has repeatedly stated it stood ready to
prove.) Thus you will see they deduct G2O
from St. Paul's "population and add 3,071 to
Minneapolis.
But Mr. Wheelock says we are not responsi
ble for these statements* Rather flimsy, Mr.
W" Who isYThe subscriptions and advertise
ments of your Minneapolis customers? I know
it is a matter of business with you and your
partner, and I am glad to have it put on those
grounds. I don't blame you
but Ido blame the people of St. Paul, that
they too do not make, it a "matter of business"
and make it their business to stop taking your
paper or advertising in it until you come to
the conclusion that asa "matter of business"
you will deal fairly by us. It would be far
better for th<; material interests of this city if
you would move your entire establishment to
Minneapolis, because it would then be under
stood by the outside public that you were a
Minneapolis paper and your gross misrepre
sentations would Ik' far less hurtful to us.
How absurdly ridiculous \ and false is the
statement in the same issue regarding I Minne
apolis..- 'She has no rival west of Chicago as
a manufacturing and commercial emporium.
Her j wholesale ,trade j reaches g $59,034,679. »'..
They put the wholesale trade in their review
of St.Paul at about $38,000,000. 1 think it is time
for the secretary of the Business ; Men's union
to call a meeting to consider this matter and
take some action, as I consider it far more
important than 3 anything ~ they have
ever had brought"; before : them. - I can
make, no more fitting., conclusion to this
article than to quote the editorial • comments
of the Minneapolis i Evening Journal on the
Pioneer Press', statistics of the city of Min
neapolis for 18S0: ;
A HANDSOME ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
■ "The Pioneer Press, St. Paul's leading news
paper, completely throws up the sponge in
favor of Minneapolis, • and acknowledges
it to be ■'. not only the greatest
manufacturing, ; but also the greatest
commercial city west of Chicago. St..
Paul has, of couse, for years admitted Minne
apolis* superiority in manufactories, but has.
claimed for herself commercial supremacy.
But her leading newspaper now surrenders
that claim also, and puts Minneapolis to the
front in the following enthusiastic head lines
in this morning's Issue:- • •:?:.:• :\ '."..':

(Signed) J Ilgks, Major. '
This good news from Majttr Ilges, announc
ing the capture* of the most dangerous ele
ment remaining of the hostile Sioux, requires
a little explanation. These Indians came
down from over the border, beginning
six weeks ago, a few at a time, intending to
surrender at Poplar river agency, but finding
only a small garrison there, and having their
pressing necessities . relieved by gifts of
food from the Yanktonnais, they became
quite saucy. Reinforcements were, therefore,
sent from* Fort Keogh to Poplar river, and
these reinforcements, (the Fifth infantry,)
made their long march in the terribly cold
weather of two weeks ago. On the arrival of
the reinforcements these Indians became less
threatening, but they were gathered under the
chief Gall just across the river from the pott,
and were not disposed to surrender. Finally
Gen. Terry sent orders to Major
Ilges to capture them if they Would
not voluntarily surrender, and this he did on
Sunday. Yesterday he probably took in the
stragglers and those who escaped from the
hostile camp, and so . brought the troubles
about the hostile Sioux very near to a close.
It is probable that Sitting Bull, who with his
remaining followers, is encamped near the
mouth of Milk river, will now come in and
surrender j voluntarily— as : he intended
to l: do j until ■• ■*" deterred by ; the
secession and opposition of ': the
Chiefs Gall and The Crow and their followers.
At headquarters here the news is received with
great satisfaction, in which the whole country
will share. And honor is due to the officers
and men who have braved a greater danger
than Indian hostility and endured a greater
hardship than often falls to the lot of soldiers,
in carrying on a successful campaign during
a winter season of almost unexampled severity,
in which few cither of officers -or - men - have
escaped suffering and injury from the cold.

ENGLISH GRAIN.
Market* Dull ■■ and Everything Cheaper.
London, Jan. 3. — The Mark Lane Express
says : There has been mild, wet, and stormy
weather, but young wheat looks well. The
deliveries of home grown grain have been
small, and the markets have been dull, and
everything was cheaper. Most of the home
grown grain is in bad condition. Foreign
supplies, therefore, are relied on, and no
amount of engineering in America tempts
millers to abandon the consumptive demand.
The flour demand has considerably fallen.
There are practically no wheats '■ on offer.'
Values of breadstuff's - continually
favor buyers. : Foreign supply on • spot
small and afloat large. Values gave way un
til Friday. In wheat, American red winter off
coast recovered Gd. The season .Is now -too
far gone for speculators to work another
corner, but it matters little whether they
send much or little for the present. We , can
get well supplied elsewhere until next harvest.

Oats slow and unchanged. Foreign oats sim

Stocks -The stock market owned generally
tirm and iv some cases a slight advance in
prices was recorded, but speculation soon took
a downward turn and shortly after 12 m. prices
had declined H@o% per cent., the trunk line
shares leading in the -downward movement.
During the afternoon the market became
strong and under the leadership of Western
Union Telegraph prices advanced H©fy6 V er
cent., Chicago, Burlington «fe Quiucy, Michi
gan Central,^ New Jersey Central, New York
Central and Denver &Rio Grande being promi
nent in the advance. In the late dealings spec
ulation became weak and under heavy sales a
decline ranging from K@6 per cent, took
place, Lake Shore, New York Central, Chicago
& Northwestern, Pacific Mail, Union Pacific,
Western Union Telegraph, Chicago, Milwau
kee <te St. Paul, Nashville, Chattanooga «fc St.
Louis, Ohio Central and Missouri, Kansas &
Texas leading in the downward movement. In
the final sales there was a recovery of $£@\%
per cent, in some instances.
The Post's third edition says a special fea
ture of the stock market has been Western
Union Telegraph, which has advanced to BC?<
from 82 when we last wrote. The rise is ac
companied by rumors of a settlement with the
American Union Telegraph company, but this
cannot be verified, and the indications are that
it is simply a bear panic in stock, the short in
terest having been very large and having been
started into covering this morning by pur
chases of over 30,000 shares at advancing
figures. American District Telegraph has ad
vanced 2)4 per cent, to 56, and American Union
Telegraph 16 per cent, to 72. The remainder
of the stock market has been strong and ad
vanced H®W I* 1 " cent., the latter in Chicago,
Burlington & Quiucy. Michigan Central, New
York Central and Denver »fe Rio Grande have
advanced IJ4 per cent., New Jersey Central \%
per c-nt., and Hannibal & St. Joe % per cent.
Home of the hanks and money lenders begin
the new year by insisting upon wider margins
on loans, as much us 30 per cent, being re
quired on some stocks, that is, they will only
lend money up to 30 per cent, of the market
price of some stock*.
; The Graphic says: The market to-day has
been irregular, feverish and finally weak to the
verge of panicky. . It is rumored that a very
powerful syndicate, , after selling their long
stocks, have gone short of the market. It is a
time for caution and realization. Where there
are profits ultimate')'.. the market will rise to
higher figures, but it is questionable whether
at present prices stocks are a ' purchase. - The
rise in Western Union Telegraph was undoubt
edly engineered to sell the balance of the mar
ket. - Amount paid in clearing ; house |by ex
changes-alone, since Jan. 1, 1880, is f38,634,
-'240,578, and balances paid during same time,
$1,501,200,000 V The largest transactions ever
known before in a single year were those of
■1869, when a third of the exchanges were
probably due to speculation. In gold ex
changes, there were $37,407,028,987 and bal
ances 11,120,318,308. For the first time that
record has been exceeded! The largest trans
actions ever made in . any year through the
London clearing house were £0,013,299,000,
in the year 1874, equal to about ; $30,066,495,
-900. Hence the payments made ;in the clear
ing house in 1880 are the largest ever .'made
during any year .in any. establishment ;on
earth. The exchanges at all other cities in
this ;, country during the year '.-'_= will
not be ; far ' from ~ . $12,2G5,003,0 30. One
theory in the '• break in Vanderbilt
premium stocks was that the largest; holders
had been selling their stocks to buy Western
Union Telegraph, but this is only one of the
countless rumor*;, none ,of which could be
traced beyond the Wall street stock exchange.
One of the various rumors afloat -concerning
Western Union Telegraph was that this : line
was about to aosorb its': rival. Tills,', like
other reports, couldn't be verified. Boston peo
ple say Vanderbilt is buying Atchison, Topeka
«!C Santa* Fe stock. -„:It •is rumored/, that
Pullman palace ear stock" will 'be
doubled up. The ' privileges ' which expired
on stocks Friday, the end of the year, are esti
mated to have exceeded 1,000,000 shares. Most
•f them were sold by Kecne, Sage, Mills and
Kennedy..' The old bull pool in Pacific Mail
have closed out all their long stock with heavy
profits of about 10 per cent. There ' arc now
rumors of a new bull party in this stock.
Subscription book* for tlic Northern Pacific
loan were opened this morning. The subscrip
tions exceed, it is believed, the amount offered
here. About three-fourths of the Wail } street
brokers quote sterling exchange according to
the new plan. "Seligman&Co.~and The Brit
ish Bank of Nortir America quote according to
the old style. Belmont <& Co. arc also inclined
to the latter form^ The Bank of Montreal
here quotes both ways. The '> Standard Con
solidated Mining company declared ' a regular
monthly dividend . of 75 cents per share, pay
able January 12. * \ - V.;. ,"
,". The Commercial says the report that the
Western Union Telegraph company would be
compelled, to remove their wires from the
Pennsylvania railroad doe* not appear to be
believed on Wall street. Instead of. the; stock
being depressed it has risen to-day, and very
heavy transactions' have taken place. At L all
"offices' of the Western \ Union ; Telegraph
company it was stated that no' notice had been
served to reinove^their v. ires, and a* the ; tele.
graph company • had contracts with
the r Pennsylvania railroad company, it was
not known how such a notice could be served.
The courts had decided that the railroad was a
public highway and on this decision the
American Union had had their wires strung
along the road. If a new company could ob
tain such a privilege, why can't the one hav
ing the rights. retain them?,. At the. office of
the ~ American Union " Telegraph company it
was stated no . information hud been received
except that published In the paper.-*. It would,
of course ,' be to the advantage/Qf .the company
to have exclusive rights. ArTh(K>fflcials of the
Pennsylvania ' railroad ; - in Jersey City <~ said no
information had been there received which
would furnish any light upsn the subject. \
