The successful attack of the Minne sota legislature upon the iniquitous coal combine is the talk of the nation, and the press from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Canadian line to the Gulf of Mexico, is applauding with one voice. The investigations of the committee have met with an unpar alleled success. And these are to be followed by a measure which must be most effective in throttling the octopus. The joint resolution that was adopted unanimously by the senate yesterday, and which appears elsewhere in the Globe, together with the terrific speech of Senator Donnelly, requests Gov. Nelson to communicate with the governors of all the Northern and Western states, and with the governors of Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Maryland, requesting them to appoint commissioners to meet on the first Monday of June with a commission of five from Minnesota at such place as the executives may agree upon, to formulate such remedial measures as may be necessary to abate the great evil, and submit them to their respective states and to the next con gress. It is a grand movement, for it means the death blow to the combine. More than that, it is a step which must lead to the destruction of the entire system of trusts. ' . ..y-X' ■yy; If the half that Senator Donnelly uttered in his speech is true, and more than one is willing to believe it all true, the objects of his shafts deserve the un reserved contempt and derision of ev erybody. The cloak of righteousness which has shielded them should be torn from their shoulders by all who have been wont to look upon them with the least respect. > '*?/: Let the good work go on until there is not a vestige left of this merciless organization. .:'J. ' '■-> t THE ILLS OF STATE INSPEC TION. Our Minneapolis "shorts" are having a very unpleasant experience with this paternalistic plan of having the state do everything for everybody. They have run afoul of a state Inspection in Illinois that Is making them not only very hot, but also very apprehensive of befog cauirht on the wrong side of the May deliveries. They have been sending forward their wheat by the train load to till their May futures. They had con tracted to send No. I northern. md had guaranteed deliveries to be up to grade. The amount they have to deliver is esti mated to be about 5,000,000 bushels. They have emptied their elevators, had the main inspected out by the Minne sota inspectors, who graded it No. 1 northern, and when it reached the Chi cago inspectors it was pretty much all thrown out as not up to grade. Of one lot of fifty cars only live passed: of an other lot of twelve gars only four passed, and the Minneapolis operators are in the doleful dumps. Illinois has a state inspection, as we have. Got. Ai.tgki.i> has recently ap pointed a new chief inspector. He Is probably trying to do his duty, but. of course, the Minneapolis shorts assert that there is lots of politics in the in spection; that the new inspector isa Democrat, and that the bull interests are Democrats, and that the inspector is protecting his fellow partisans. The probabilities, however, are that, like ail new brooms, he is sweeplug clean, ami doing his duty as well as human judg ment can. There is no bull without a bear, and vice" versa; and both are watching hinn doubtless both trying to get the better of the inspection, and all he can do between these two opposing forces is to do what he thinks is right, " no matter whom it hits. Our Minneapolis shorts are getting at Chicago what they have been giving the country dealers of this state for years, anti against which there have been un availing protests. instances without number have occurred of country ship pers complaining of lowered grade or short weight, being met with a state weighmaster's and inspector's certifi cates, and silenced by them. Of course this does not justify the Chicago counter dose, if there is any, but it only illus trates the uselessness of a state system of weighing and inspecting which binds no one. is conclusive of nothing, and only operates to add another to the usual and inevitable uncertainties of the market. No man's judgment is in fallible; there is no absolute test to which grain can be brought to de termine finally its quality; in the nature of things there can be none, and it is, after all, only a question of the accuracy of some man's guess. In the present case it only operates to injure, because the bulls fall back oa their contracts, which stipulate that the grain offered in fulfilment of the con tracts shall pass the state inspection there. That makes it a finality, and if the inspector errs, either through mis takes of judgment or through corrup tion, the result is the same to the ship pers. Were there no inspection, the arbitration boards or the courts would settle the question of the sufficiency of the grain to comply with the contracts, lt only adds another to the many illus trations of the Democratic belief that the state should keep its hands off the private affairs of men and leave them to adjust their differences themselves. WILL IT MEET THE PURPOSE? The bill introduced in the lower branch of the Minnesota legislature yesterday by Dr. Williams, of Ramsey county, prohibiting the coroner from giv ing information to the press concerning any dead person over whom an autopsy or inquest is to be held.which would have been derogatory to the character of the dead person in life; and. further, pro hibiting the publication of such matters in the newspapers if it is in their pos session, is certainly a very novel one, even though the subject matter is of such a nature that it could hardly be brought under the control of the law, leaving aside the question of constitu tionality altogether. The Globe does not doubt but. that the motives of the genial doctor were "of a most laudable nature, but it does doubt if he has sufficiently studied the question in all its phases. The daily newspaper is supposed to be the conveyer of news, an educator of the people, a medium of reforming and correcting errors and wrongs, and rep resents the links in an endless chain that makes progress and prosperity pos sible to the little hamlet ami furthers that of the growing city. The laws of the state of Minnesota as at present con stituted with regard to the publication of a daily newspaper are so stringent, and hedge it about with such a barrier ot possible libel suits, thai the manag ing editor who would retain his position and the good will of the proprietor at the same time must trim his copy like a paper doll, aud make it just as harm less, thus at times practically killing the news and defeating, the aims and objects of the well-meaning journalists. The real intent of the bill, and the one the doctor undoubtedly had in view when he introduced the measure, .was to prevent the giving of further pain to the already grief-stricken relatives of the deceased by dragging and parading in public the moral shortcomings of his past life; and this in itself is certainly commendable, but it is very questiona ble whether the bill in its present form would accomplish the desired object. For instance, would it not be better to have the real facts published in the daily press with the charitable construc tion that is usually put upon such cases by reputable journals, than to have the coroner's jury, the witnesses aud the usual crowd of scandal mongers that attend such trials bandy the story around among the public, each accord- ' ing to their own version, with no means of hunting it down and making a denial? No reputable newspaper of any standing in a community would stoop to the point of blackening a man's character after death has placed him beyond the pale ot criticism, but the facts developed at a coroner's inquest are sometimes of such a nature that jus tice to others demands their publicity, "and the passage of such a bill as con templated might be the means whereby innocence would be punished and crime go free. There is another feature of the bill, and one which has a sorrowful aspect. Many a poor unfortunate, weary of life, aud seeking self-destruction as a means of ending a miserable career, is forever lost to friends and relatives, and when the inquest is held in such cases there are sure to be facts come out which would have been derogatory to the victim in life. No word is men tioned in the public prints, and the body is thrown into the trench of the potter's field, whereas if the contrary were the case some eye would see the Item, in form the friends, and kind and loviug bauds would prepare the last sad tokens of sorrow and respect that could be* shown the unfortunate soul wbose life was withered in its bloom. - : X~X-zi THE SAINT PAUL DAILST GLOBE: ; THURSDAY MORNING, - MARCH 30, 1893. STYLES FOR ST, PAUL. Some ofthe New April Foibles for Chappies and the Lasses. Polka-Dots Will Rage,- as Well for Neglige Shirts as for Parasols. Killing Outfits in Which St. Paul Dudes Will Shine in April. Ultra Effects in Contempla tion to Drive Style Plates to Drink. April In St. Paul is tlte month of um brellas, new styles in coats, hats, neck wear and bonnets. Incidentally it is invariably associated with rain storms, colds and sneezing. Of the new styles. a number of exceptionally interesting ones have been prepared lor this sea son, and the gilded youths and maidens / \)k </ : hx '■■. msmm \X\%7< Mr POI.KA DOTS THE ICAGE. are preparing to blossom out in some of the most astonishing costumes possible to imagine. A young man has advanced the idea that the new styles are the re sult of recreation hours in some of the insane asylums. On the face of this it seems probable, but out of consideration for the feelings of those who will wear the articles it would not be polite to admit the truth of the statement One thing is certain about the new styles. Polka-dots wiil be in the as cendency this year. Everything is in polka-dots; neckties, handkerchiefs, dresses, parasols, etc. Gay colors will also prevail, and on the first pleasant day in April the sidewalks will be cov ered by costumes calculated to frighten staid old cab horses iuto palpitation of the heart. One of the costumes which will be a favorite among the young ladies of St. Paul, on the assurance of one of the leading milliners of the city, is a bodice, very long, constructed of very light A new blouse. cloth and spattered with polka-dots of striking brilliancy. The shoulders will be covered with sleeves which will tower- above the spring bonnets like twin mountains. The sleeves will not be adorned with the polka-dots. Some thing in a very large check, both the cloth and the price, will be used for the skirt, which will be built en traiue. A very uncomfortable bonnet, which will cause the wearer no end of bother and worry, but which will give her the satisfaction of knowing that it cannot be beaten, is a charming affair with the proportions of a coal scuttle, weighing about seven pounds. The decorations for this style of headwear will vary ac cording to the strength of the neck of the wearer and the contents of the pocketbook of the purchaser. The col lar which will accompany this article is composed of brocade, generally deco rated in a figure which bears a striking resemblance to the ace of clubs. Prob ably some of the witnesses to this ex travagance will entertain a desire to place some additional clubs on the col lar. A retrousse nose will be essential to give this costume the proper effect. Those who aspire to be "chappies" and sit in a club window are saving their coins with the intention of getting into a killing outfit by the Ist of April. The affair which is considered the "proper thing" is exceedingly appropri ate for the day.The accompany sketch was made by the artist in one of the fashionable 'outfitting establishments. One of the clerks kindly agreed. to get himself up for the occasion, and the re sult is the accompanying bal-masque effect, ln case many of them are worn this spring it will have the effect of in creasing the insurance ou horses and , carriages. It may also have a tendency towards increasing the rates of the liverymen. i If the proposed styles in trains are extensively adopted by the young ladies of the city, there will be no necessity for -4\ ' A&r^S) ~-J 1 \sa tea I <~4 e°T^-Sd 7^ Dc-rr X W\£L>^ Si£iL2-^\^^X ~~Zff i i) Y/^W^izd nt£7&< NO USE FOR STREET SWEEPERS ;THEN, the street-cleaning department, and the trade and occupation of the brush-push ing Othello will bo gone. It will not be considered good form, however, to have the trains more than thirteen feet -in lenatii, as a ship Carpenter would say, "over all." This may result in the adopting of the Louis XV. fashion of engaging pages, which may deplete the primary trades in the public schools, it will also open up a new field fur the voting blue-coated Mercuries which will be restful for them, as they will have the opportunity uf frequently glue-, ing their feet to lhe floors ot the dry roods houses while tlio wearers of the trains are engaged in shopping without the fear of constant. objections and rude awakenings from Impatient owners of important messages. _.<_:- 1» pi lt is claimed by some that tlio report ed plot to x assassinate the l'rince Wales during his visit to this country will have a tendency to inaugurate the fashion of wearing coats of bomb-proof jfIMNCS Of J $p| 7 ' ffl \ (hx\ fp\ \Xx\ A) 1 Sjfi? / IOTI -it_^- ST.

There are many young men in the City ot St. Paul who are almost exact coun terparts of the prince in some ways.and for this reason they are doubtful as to the advisability of going to England for fear of assassination. The ' Prince of Wales style is affectingly pleasurable to the eye. and revives pleasant memories of evenings spent at the comic opera. One style which has been displayed in the windows of certain milliners, is called the Fanny Davenport style. It is 'X-tm.*' A, : \ ; hW \w\ fit- ill i • '' 1 1 w Csi -• viii rx-i- , /p, ■ %MM:-f WARM CANES WILL BE WORK. striking in its intensity of color, and the amount of art which has beeu pressed into the service during its de signing. It is composed of along and very slender bodice -.with sleeves a la haystack. Gauntlet gloves are necessary to give the proper effect to this costume. The bonnet represents the bill of a being of the air. not unlike the proboscis of the ancient pterodactyl. If desirous, the purse can Ik; pinned to the top as a decoration, which will give a decidedly unique effect. Spring coats for the young men are built on the principle of economy— that is, to get all of the cloth which can be obtained for the money, lt must always be worn, a cane. Canes will be rather warm this spring in consequence of the lateness of the season, tine of the authorities on such things has given the advice that those who are in the habit of wearing canes should be very careful in going out evenings without them. One young man, with excellent prospects for the asylum, injudiciously A f -=——X'7 7 MINNESOTA CLUB COLLAR. went out one evening without a cane, lie was taken ill with a severe cold and died during the height of the season. • While some of the above-described styles may not be extensively worn this season, it will be necessary to observe, as many as circumstances and the police will permit in order to be "in the swim." It may be a valuable investment for l seekers after pleasure, as, after this ; season, the purchases can be utilized for masque balls and charades. ." Ottendorflfer Out of Danger.

Values. >?n iyxy. ~Tp "■ pXH.t Some of the best wheat ever grown was Included in the lots shipped from Minnesota that failed to pass inspection nt Chicago on Tuesday. The method in vogue of shipping ' wheat east ward ; without cleaning gave the new grain inspector of Illinois a chance to insist upon the. technical construction of the grad ing rules, ami that course gave the mar ket the bulge which lasted until the bull crowd had Its load dumped yester day morning. When the Minneapolis wheat has paid its tribute to. the screen ers, who remove 'dust, from grain, it will very likely become immediately acceptable on contracts for "No. 2 Chicago." - (Jen. Oeorge L. Becker, of the Minne sota board of railway and warehouse commissioners, yesterday explained the inability to secure the expected giadfug on a large portion Of the Minneapolis wheat that arrived at Chicago on Tues day. He said: "Wheat that reaches Chicago from other states Is subject to inspection by the inspcrtor-in-cliiet of Illinois or his deputies, In case the cer tificate is unsatisfactory appeal can be made to the arbitration com mittee, which committee is nominated by the Chicago board of trade. This, it is believed by some, gives the Chicago people the opportunity to construe the rules favorably to the board of trade mien at Chicago at times when large manipulations are under way. The in spector-in-chtef of Minnesota. Albert C. Clausen, was at Chicago recently. He explained that the practice here is to grade wheat without cleaning it. For instance, here is a sample of fine blue stem hard wheat that would grade So. 1 northern, and the Minnesota inspector is called upon to make an allowance for screenings or dirt. Well, say he makes , an allowance of three pounds to the bushel (this wheat will weigh fifty-nine pounds to the bushel »,and the wheat goes forward to Chicago. There it may not inspect No. ii Chicago tor the reason, thin the dirt has not been screened out —not on account of the intrinsic value of the wheat, for the same property could go forward to New York and sell for as much, or more, than any No. 2 Chicago wheat. Grain men know this, and they recognize the fact that grain of full value, intrinsically, can go forward from Minnesota and yet miss one or two grades ou Chicago inspection through, a technical interpretation of the rules, It seems as though that is just about what happened yesterday; audit hap pened with a favorable influence upon the interests of those who are said to be manipulating a corner on May wheat in Chicago. - ,Xx ,-;. ', X-. ['X ..::-_ DID NOT CONNIVE In the Disappearance of the Scalp er Bill— Other Interests Aid Its Defeat. Clarence Corbett, chairman of : the committee appointed by the ticket brokers to look after the interests of the association in connection with the "anti scalpers' bill." says that the. ticket brokers wero not the only persons in terested in the defeat of the bill, and, as : the impression has gone forth that they were the sole objectors to the plan pro posed by the legislature, thus making it necessarily appear . that the bill must have been spirited away with the con nivance of the brokers, he desires to give to the publicsome of the exact facts in the case.- . i.:.li x, .-■ -.-•• ; '. "Of course Ido not desire to appear as countenancing the idea that we may have connived in the losing of the bill. nl merely desire to say that there were -others who were lighting against the bill and who were ...actuated by greater iuteiests than we were in opposing its parage. -The title of -the bill has "cre ated the impression;, that we were the sola persons aimed iff, but it would not affect us so much as it would some of the railroad companies. i.m c" *-:..;.• , "When the bill was under discussion Senator Hiram F. Stevens stated that iie was in receipt of communications from the representatives of , the Diamond , Jo line of steamers. These communica tions stated that the line could not af ford to make round trip rates between St. Paul and the South for the reason that the amendment to the bill, provid ing that unused portions of tickets must be redeemed pro rata to the distance traveled, would kill the rate for one way. This company was deeply inter ested in the defeat of the bill. The Northern Pacific Hailroad company was also deeply interested in the defeat of the bill. Its rate to the Western coast is $70. lis round trip ticket is $80. If it was compelled to refund the money paid for the balance of the ticket after the holder had taken the trip to the West, at pro rata, the passenger would get the trip to the West for $40. This would be $30 less than the regular rate for one way. It would stand to reason that the Northern Pacific would be in terested in the defeat of the bill, c c "The Kansas City line and some of the other weaker lines are very friendly towards the brokers and do a consider able amount of business with them. In the year 1891 - the Kansas line flooded the market with a block of 5,000 Ciiicago tickets at 87 each. The Burlington line is also a good friend of the brokers and has transacted considerable business with them. There are a number of lines which are interested in the defeat ot the bill, and it is not fair to the brokers to have the impression go out that we are the only ones who could be possibly blamed for the disappearance of the bill. lam not saying that any of the above-named corporations have been instrumental iv the spiriting away of the bill, but I merely desire to have the people know that others besides the ticket brokers had an interest in the de feat of the measure. • ; ,x '-ir "I see that the six ticket brokers who were arrested in Chicago on the charge of selliug tickets iv opposition to the state law, which is about the same as the one introduced in Minnesota, have been discharged. The clerk of the court wrote a letter to Congressman Biella, of California, stating that the court had decided the bill to be in violation of the state and federal constitutions, as un reasonable and void for these reasons." & Mr. Corbett has been deeply inter ested in the bill. lie is with the firm of McKeuzie & Frey, the former being one of the chief men in the brokers' national association. He was in St. Paul during a portion of the hearing of the bill, and • declared that the brokers would test it 'from every possible standpoint in case it became a law. 1 -pr,, ■ — — " WILL BE A HILL ORGAN.

WRECKED LIFE ENDED. Sudden Death in Chicago of a Former Prominent Badger Physician. He Was a Man of Groat Ability, but Drink Ruined Him. Chicaoo, March 29. -The remains of a man known as "Hoc" Schwarz, but which have since been identified as those of a Wisconsin physician named K. W. Saver, are ly ing at a morgue on Fifth avenue. Last Sunday morning, when the clerk of the Argyle house, on Madison street, made his rounds to call the guests, he-received no response at one door. His suspicions were at once aroused, and. calling another man to his assistance, he broke open the door. On the bed lay the dead form of a man who had been always given the name of August Schwarz, physi cian. No one could be found about the hotel who knew much about the un fortunate. He was always called "Doc," and this was the only name that many of the lodgers knew him by. He had put up at the Argyle house off and on for six months. Most of his time was spent in his room, lie would occasion ally prescribe for people who were sick about tlio hotel, and this was about the only way iv which he came in contact with the outside world. x-'~ ■--■' It appears, however, that Dr. Sell warz did on one occasion tell Mr. Morrison, of the Argyle house, that his real name was Saver ami finally dropped a hint or two of his past history. "On one occa sion," said Mr. Morrison today, "when Schwarz was drunk, he told me that his real name was Saver, aud said that he was atone time a professor in Rush Medical college. Willi the exception of this one occasion he never spoke of himself. I last saw him Sunday night. He was very much the worse for liquor, andi vas not much surprised to find that the cause of his death was alcoholic excess." . :_:-:. "The doctor was at one time a prom ising physician in a Wisconsin city," said Faupel today, a man who had known him for ten years, "a few years ago. but his drinking habits knocked him out. He has a wife and child some where, but I believe it has been several years since he has lived with his family. He was a man who had great ability, but he was seldom in condition to use bis skill." _ CUITEHS ENJOINED. Gotham Clothing Manufacturers Call on the Courts. New York, March 29.— clothing manufacturers have quietly played what is expected to prove a winning card in the contest with tlflP cutters. Going secretly before Justice Law rence yesterday, two or three of its representatives obtained sum mons compelling the leaders of tno United Garment Workers and of the Federation of Labor to appear in court and show cause why the organizations should not be restrained from boycot ting their former employers' goods. The service of the summoues was delayed until midnight, when they were served on Charles F. Freyers by- . the court officer. The leaders were thrown at once into confu sion. The action of the manufacturers was also discouraging to the cutters at large. Hitherto they have felt certain of securing the aid of the 10.000 or more taiftrs in this city. This morning lhey admitted that if an injunction were granted it still would.be a question whether or not the tailors would strike in sympathy. It was also conceded that if the manufacturers gained their point a result of the trouble favorable to the cutters was extremely doubtful. STILL D ANT. Lake Shore May Have Trouble With Its Engineer^. Toledo, March 29. — The backbone of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers is far from broken. Out of the proposed boycott of the Ann Arbor road has grown a serious question for the Lake Shore road. | As will be remem ered some of its men struck rather than handle Ann Arbor freight. The rein statement of these men is the question which was discussed at a special meet ing of the brotherhood this evening. The only reason they quit was because the principles of the brotherhood might be maintained. The Lake Shoie bad them arrested, and their fate will be come known next nionday. In the meantime the brotherhood men have thought it over and they have con cluded that no niatter what decision Judge Kicks shall announce next Mon day, they are justified in demanding that their brothers be given their former positions. The result, in case of refusal, was not considered, because the men expect there will be no refusal. , HOLDING ON TO GOLD. Gotham Banks Trying to Keep the Yellow Metal la Their Vaults. New Yobk; March 29.— 1n regard to the money situation the Post this even ins says: "Some of the city banks have run so low in their supply of paper cur rency that it has been absolutely im possible for them to meet their clearing house debit balances without the use of gold: yet, even so, there seems to be a constant effort to make such payments to fellow banks, in whose hands the gold will still remain in reach, rather than to the subtreasury. Whether this disposition will not change when the Western banks have ceased to supply the treasury with gold, is an interesting question. On general principlss the situation is wholly unnatural. But for the multi plied doubts of the currency outlook, the shortness of legal tender holdings in New York city would bring about mechanically, as it did six or seven months ago, a free movement •of city banks' specie into the government treasury." » DEPENDS THE TREATY. A. Senatorial Lover of Fair Play Says It Is All Right. Washington, March 29.— The senate committee on foreign relations held a meeting- this morning, but it is under stood that while being favorable to making public the text of the Russian treaty, were unable to aeree upon a favorable report by reason of disagree ments relative to the correspondence accompanying the convention. A well known senator, who is prominent on account of his love for fair play and general humanitarian legislation, stated that, when published, the treaty would be found to be neither more nor less objectionable than several other treaties that have been in operation for some years. The criticism that has been heard is due, he says, to a conception of the effect of the instrument based upon Garbled extracts that appeared in a sur reptitious publication when the treaty was first sent to the senate, and when objections now made would, if made then, have been timely and well founded. y'-X'i :".-■'■ '-'iXi TROTTERS ALL SOLD.
