Accoeding to the official vote canvassed
at the State House yesterday, His Excel
lency, Gov. Hnhbsrd, oniy ran some four
teen thousand votes behind his ticket. A
large per cent, of this discrimination
nst the chief magistrate of the state
may be placed to the credit of the filthy
oil inspector appointment.
The city conacii perpetrated Gomething
of a surprise last night by the election of
Aid. Gates A. Johnson as building in
spector. It was a surprise to the alderman
himself, as he had not been a candidate
for the position. The selection, however,
is a sood one aud will undoubtedly be ap
proved by the public. Mr. Johnscir3
ejgii-eeaii^ skill gives him special quali
ticitioirs for the plaoe.
The Clev eland, Ohio, Leader very
bravely says:
It is easy to see that the tariff is to be tho
great issue of the cairsp;iigu noxt year. The
Republican party woul.i not objoct to making it
the only oae.
The tariff may or may no 3be the chief
ißsue,but if it is the Repub'ioan party will
wish it might have been anything elee.
The catalogue of Republican Bins cf com
mission and omission is altogether too iu
vit n* a fie'd to be narrowed down to one
specification, eager as the Republicans are j
to see it. j

■ The Philadelphia Times sajs editorally:
I The man who goes to Washington this -winter
I with a big job his 0:1 mind and a big corruption
fund in his pocket should do himself the justice
to look about him very carefully before he be
gins his campaign in the lobby. The lobby
•will be very closely watched by the newspapers
this year. Tnat means that all corrupt schemes
wili be exposed.
This may be regarded in two ways, a3 a
gentle hint to the men with jobs to" see" i
' certain newspapers, or it may be under- !
stood as the current mendacious method
of attacking Democrats in congress. It is
notorious however, that under Republican
rule the men of the lobby have paid enor
mous same lo representatives of Republi
can papers, in some i»6tances amounting
to the basis, at least, for fortunes. If the
newspapers can clear congress of the lob
by it will be well, but the threat of the
Times, if it means anything, does not
mean that. The fragrance of the whited
j 1 sepulchre is too rank. -

'^ The contest for the fire commissioner
; ship terminated last night by the confir
mation of the Mayor's appointee, P. J.
. Bowlin. Mr. Bowlin is one of oar prom
-sn3nt business men, a heavy property
owner and taxpayer. The movement in
opposition to him arose, rather, from
a« desire to keep the old
board intact, than objection to
him, personally. Fortunately the city
is too large to have its safety or prosperity
hinge upon the retention of any one man
in offine, and there need be no apprehen
sion that the fire department will be any
less efii.:ieuti became Mr. Bowlin suo«eed»
Mr. Hugh3on. If during Mr. Bowlin'*
*■ term there should happen to be a i educ-
S tion in insurance rates, as a slight acknowl
edgement of th» money paid for our fire
system, it might not be unwelcome. The
next fight had better be for lower insur
ance 'dtes.
The Philadelphia North American
Marshal-of-the-Distriot-of-Oolumbia Mc-
Michael's paper beautifully says:
The South has three-fifth i of all the impor
tant places on the committees.
This is current Republican nonsense, as
fooli3h bs it is untrue, and the public ars
disgu sted with the falsehoods that are put
"before them and feel soverign contempt
for the concerted effort to arouse paesiDn
and prejudice without reason. The House
committees are composed of feur hundred
and eighty-six members. Three hundred
and eleven of the Committeemen are from
the north, the Representatives in Congress
of northern states. One hundred
and seventy-five of the oom
, mitteemenare southern men from south
ern states. Furthermore, in every
committee save three and those minor com
mittees, the north is in the decided major-
L ity. But supposing it were the other way.
What of it? Where would be the nffs^ce?-
What would tho mendacious crowd who
are co industriously lying about the situa
ton sait if?, <ln ahnnt it?

The unanimous re-election of th^ Gloeb
last evening by the city council as the offi
cial paper of St. Paul for the easning year,
i* a vote of confidence and esteem which
the Glo3b keenly appreciates and for
which it bows its acknowledgements.
, There has been a good deal cf loose talk
in certain envious newspaper circles rela
tive to the city printing, but this i 3 the
regular annual recurrence and is to be
expected with the cold weather. These
newspapers assumed that there wa3 to be
some snap judgment or sharp practice in
the matter. This was because, being dis
honest and tricky themselves, they could
not imagine how any public business
nhoaid properly be done. There is nothing
in connection with the selection
of the official paper to conceal |
or to attempt to do other than
in the fairest and most open manner, and
it was a sad disappointment to the tricky
newspapers to see the business transacted
in the regular, open and above board way.
As a Republican board of county com
missioners have an official (Republican)
paper, at exactly the same pnoe paid by
the city, and as' the Republican state ad
ministration pay nearly doable for its ad
vertising the rates paid by the oity,
the basis for criticism by the envious
newspapers rests simply .on their
desire to secure business which the coun
cil, with excellent discrimination, prefer
to bestow npon the only Si. Paul morning
paper which the oity affords.
The Glokh will endeavor to continue to
merit the endorsement which the council
bestowed upon it last night.
THE WORK Of THTBXI'Y TEAItS.
"We affhm," says the Republican plat
form, "that the work of the Republican
party for the last twenty years has been
saoh as to commend it to the favor of the
nation." That reads nioely. It is high
Bounding and able-bodied in the superla
tive degree. The miserablenfess of the
case is that too many people have some
doubt about its being altogether true.
The commission of the United States
Navy yards haa just made a report which
is in tha nature of a commentary upon
this boastful claim that Republican rule
for the last twenty jer.rs has been so wholly
and absolutely beneficial to the nation.
Although twenty years ago the United
States had a navy and merch»jit marine,
the commission report that it has noco
now. From thi3 melancholy chapter of
the current histoiy of our times the follow
ing is taken:
Tho report of the comrmson of the Nary Yard
calls attention to the depreciation iv the mili
. tary marine in the country as a consequence of
the decadence in its merchant marine and cays
that in 1361) the tonnage of United States ves
sels engaged in foreign trade was 2,546,287 ton*,
, plcickig us second in the maritime countries a;_d
our fighting shipe commanded universal admira
tion. In the twenty years just passed, while
tho tonnage of our great commercial rival hes
increased 50 per cent. our tonnage has dropped
to 1,852,810, placing ua third in the list of mari
■ time countries. Our carrying trade has bean
wrested from us and we have not a single fight
ing ship to bear our flag upon the seas.
Wnat a picture is this of the work of the
Republicans for tho last twenty years,"
and as ouch does it "oommend" the party
to the "favor of the nation ?" Letthe read
er place this boastful aesumption of the
Republican party against the statement
of the commissios, that oar tonnage has
dropped off vary nearly ono half
that "oar carrying trade has been
wrß3ted from us and we have not a. single
fighting ship b3aring our flap: upon the
sea 3." When this is thoughtfully contem
plated it doss seem as if the Rapublican
reeoru ii quite sublima. If so much ha?
been accomplished in twenty yaars, what
will the wreckers be able to do if they are
longer continued in power.
TJESTJBttJDJLZ'S.-IZ^.iIIKJETS.
The Chicago and Milwaukee mark of recov
ered yesterday from tho general tumble sus
tained by wheat on Wednesday. The recovery
was attributable to tha large orders from the ;
outsido. Corn and oats were firm, -with re
ceipts comparatively light. The local market
yeßtsrday was uneventful. Cablegrams show
the markets in grain and breadstuff ito be dull
in Europe, with no desire to speculate
in transit cargoes. The inactivity of
the foreign market is owing to two or three
causes: First, the stocks of American wheat
and flour are large, with heavy shipments on
passage and importations too, from the Medi
terinean and Baltic are liberal. Another cause
of sluggishness is that the season is hardly suffi
ciently advanced to determine if sowing opera
tions can be successfully finished. Untill this
is doDo there is always some amount of uncer
tainty in grain speculations. The winter sow
ing over and good prospects of a successful
spring sowing invariably send down prices, while
on the contrary a wet winter and rainy spring
send all breadstuff up. But in either case char
acter is given to the market and buyers know
how to act instead of being in a delightful state
of uncertainty.

The Boston correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says that the mental strain Ben Butler has
undergone during the past two or three years in

Mb. Zes Rudolph, tha father of Mrs. General
Garfield, says, according to the Cleveland
Leader, that he believes Marshal Nty to have
been his uncle. Marshal Ney, Mr. fludolph

known as Michael Rudolph, his true name.

THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBB, FRIDAY MORNING JANUARY 4,1884.
TBiNSFOBMON NOTES.
The Burlington's Attitude. -
• [Chicago Times, 2nd. 1
- The attention or a very great portion of
tha railway world is fixed upon the Bur
lington road, and every movement of its
officials Is intently watched, in the hope of
detecting ?ome intimation of its probable j
policy. It was -whispered yesterday about
the Grand Pacific ttr-*t Mr. Pester bad in
dividualy decided adversely to joining the
alliance, and that he would to-day advise
his directors accordingly. A copy of the
agreement wes yiven to Mr. Potter Mon
day evening, aud during all the evening
and yesterday forenoon he { and' the gen
eial solicitor of the road made an
exhaustive . study of its provisions.
About noon yesterday Mr. Potter
left for Burlington, and will return this
morning. He is reported as saying just
before leaving, that his road cannot con
sistently enter the alliance. By remaining
out of it, the Burlington people would lose
gross revenue to the amount of $225,000,
which the Union Pacific would give them
at Omaha. To offset this they would retain
about $280,000 worth of business over
their western division, which would other
wise go into the pool. With the line to
Denver and the connections there with the
Denver and the Rio Grande, he thought
the Burlington would be - far better
off without than within the pool. No an
nouncement of their decision will probab
ly be made before^ Thursday. - v
A gentleman who sustains intimate re
lations with the Burlington management
said yesterday that if the Burlington did
not join the new pool there ■ would at
once be inaugurate*! a war of extermina
tion — of road?, -bet of individual offi
cials. "And you may confidently look,"
said he, "for some important changes
within five months. : The Burlington's ef
fort would be to make it so warm for
some of them in an indirect way that
their extermination would be assured. I
am not at liberty to give any details, nor
locate the officials who are in danger, but
if the Burlington does not go into the
alliance there will be eomtSurprising of
ficial changes within five months."
"Do you believe the original three par
ties to the compact ever purposed having
the Burlington with them ?" ' ■■;:':"''}
"App'earences would indicate that they
did not. They, in the first place, organ
ized the combiantion in great secrecy.
They have now completed every detail of
the organization before th 3 Burlington
people have been advised as to the terms
of the agreement. They knew the lowa
pool would expire Jan. 1, and that the new
pool would begin its existence on the same
day, and yet Mr. Potter did not get a copy
of.the agreement until after it had gone
into effect. They have appointed a cona
lnissiener without consulting the Bur
lington. If it was their desire that
the Burlington should be asso
ciated in harmony with there, {hey would
hardly hava appointed a commissioner,
presumably not knowing whether he would
be acceptable or not to the Bnrlingtou,
without advising with them. The appoint
ment of Mr. Vising waa a moat unhappy
one, for, by it, it would seem that ail hope
of an Jamicabla settlement had been de
stroyed. It is an open secret that the
Burlington people are opposed to Mr. Vin
ing in that capaoity for two reasons. They
do not like him personally, and they do
not fancy the idea of leaving their business
in the hands of a Union Pacifio man, pre
judiced directly in favor of the Union
Pacific. It looks to me as if the chances
were rather against the Burlington's join
ing the new pool."
The Breezes Blow.
Tha weather all along all the roads was
reported to ba very cold. On the North
western road a train w-v stuck !n the snow
east of Elroy, and trains all
around. Out oaths B itn Oity road, es
pecially between Worthington and St.
James the wind was blowing frightfully
and blowing the snow in all directions.
On the eastern division of the Chicago, Sr.
Paul & Omaha rosd, and out east of Elroy
there was a good deal of enow and the
mercury showed 25 below at Elroy. A*;
Merrillon 30 below. Em Qiaire 33. At
Bayfield 14, Ashland 22, Haywood 20, D. er
Park 23. Oa the western division of the
Omaha ths mercury dropped down low.
At Merriani Junction ifc was 16 below,
Mankato 14, St. James 20, Heron Like
26, Binghaca Lake 29, Sious City 19, Jack
son 12, Oakland 10, Omaha 10. All along
out into Nebraska the cold is reported to
be very severe. Ths last dispatch receiv
ed at the Omaha office here representad !
that east and north of Sioux City it was
clear and cold, but on the Nebraska
division it was p<*r«ly cloudy
and cold, though there was a slight moder
ation observable. The Northern Paoifio
and St. Paul & Manitoba also got seme of
the cooling breezes. At Sauk Center tho
mercury went down to 30 below, at Morris
it, was 30 below, Duluth 26, Brainerd 30,
Wadeaa 30, Fargo 30, Oasselton 20, Valley
City 25, Jamestown 20, Crystal Springs 23,
Sterling 33, Mandan 22, Little Mia3onri 23,
GlendiTe 10. All the roads shared alike in
regard to the cold and will probably have
mure of it to-da?.
Tho Grand Tru-haa o Railway Anaconda.
A Chicago special sajs that Baron
Adolph yon Huge], late president of the
Canada Midland railroad, said to a re
porter that he would give the Canadian
Paoifio railroad only a brief time to con
tinue as as individual monopoly.
"The Canadian Pacific and all the other
railroads in Canada will be very shortly
absorbed by the Grand Trunk, aa the Mid
land has been." Said he: '"The trouble
with the Canadian Pacifio is tkat it is not
mtking money. It oost $75,000,000; aad
its subsidies, which, though they embraoe
$29,000,000 aad a like number of
acres of land, besides several
other emaller railroads, did not aggregate
more than $80,000,000. It has not done
the freight business it calculated to do.
Its stock has gone down and the road it
self is depreciating, so thai it is doatftful
whether it will ever be completed t</ tho
Pacific, as was expected.
'■What qualification makes the Grand
Truuik able to absord it, should it £0 60?"
"The Grand Trunk has a stroEg;position
in London financial circles, wnich the
Canaii&n Pacifio ha 3 never enjoyed, and
it is qualified in this way better than any
other. Tho Canadian Pacific was obliged
to go into New York for a market, be
cause it was crowded out of London cir
cles by the Grand Trunk.
Rail Noti».
Mr. H. O. Davis, has returned to St.
Paul.
Mr. Fred S. Bryant, assistant North
weatern freight agent, has returned from a
Christmas and New Year's visit to tho
east, and is again ai his post.
The St. Panl & Duluth road during the
month of December, 1883, did business to
the amount of $94,904 48. The corres
ponding month of tne previous year
showed $92,872.94, an increase of $2,031^
54.
A meeting is to be held in Chioago to
day of freight agents to establish rates to
Stiliwate-, Eau CSaire, Menominee, Chip
pewa Falls. The business will not prob
ably be pooled, but the object is to give
these places the same rates as those from
Chicago to St. Paul. The Chioago, St.
Paul & Omaha read, the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul road, and the Norih
western end Wisconsin roads will be rep
resented. ' :';.""
The Western Pool.
; Chicago, Jan. —The conference be
tween the managers of the lines' in the new
western railway Ellianee,and of the offi
cers of the Chicago, Burlington & Q lincy,
with a view to indaoing that company to
form part of the new combination is cow
in progreas in this city. The Union Pa
cific, Rock Island, Chicago, ililwaukee &
St. Paul and Northwestern are represent
ed by the general managers of those roads,
the only abientee being the representa
tive of the Wabs6h. which has no signifi
cance. The officers of tho Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincv, have had in possession
since Monday last a copy of the agree
ment, and the terms which are under dis
cussion at the forenoon session. The
statement is made in an authorized way to
tke Associated Press, that whatever con
clusion is rsacked by the Chicago, Bur
lingaon & Quincy company, the matter
will necessarily be laid before the board
of directors «f that company for final ao
tion. The meeting adjourned at 2 o'clook,
and there is very little prospect that a de
cision of any character will be reached to
day. /
The meeting adjourned at 3 o'clock till
10 o'clock tomorrow, to await the arrival
of Vice President Hayes, of the Wabash.
No decision of any character was reaehad.
* The JPassenger Agreement.
Nbw Yobk, Jan —At the weekly meet
ing of the trunk line passenger agents to
day, Assistant Commissioner Pierion made
a report in regard to the conference which
he held with the representatives of the
western roads at Chicago, on December
28. The fonr of the six roads were repre
sented, viz: the Chicago & Northwestern,
the Wabash, the Chioago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul and the Missouri Pacific agreed in
formally to the proposals made by Mr.
Pierson as the representative of the lines
in -joint executive committee, and it .is
probable the remaining two,
the Chicago & Book Island, and
the Chicago & Alton will also
consent to sign the agreement. It is
thought that the establishment of this
agreement between the wester* and east
ern reads, will make a railway war impos
sible. - \
Canadian Pacific Termini.
Halifax, Jan. 3. — A number of promi
nert citizens met a committee of theoifcy
council to consider a letter from the mayor
of Quebec nrging action to induce the
Canadian Pacific railway to make Halifax
their winter and Quebec th»ir summer
points. It was decided to aek - ,-> govern
ment to extend the Inier-Oolouiai railway
to Montreal and demand tho Canadian
Pacific railway as a company receiving so
much public subsidy, etc., to have their
terminus in the dominion. A committee \
was appointed to prepare a resolution em-1
bodying the views of the meeting. j

Ottawa, Jan. 3. —Tae federal govern- \
; ment has agreed to pay the government \
of Nova Ssotia $1,200,000 for the eastern j

At a few minutes past 12 o'clock last
night a fire broke out in the double 6tore
of Harrison, the- tailor, Washington ave
nue, corner of First avenue south, bat it
was quickly extinguished by the chemical
engine. Although very little was burned
the dense smoke which filled the store oc
casioned a heavy loss, which is Tory diffi
cult to estimate, but will probably amount
to $3,000 and is fully covered by insur
ance. Tint origin of the fire is not known,
but it is probable that it caught from the
furnace, as the fire came from
the basement and burned up through
the floor near the front part of the store.
Very little water was used. The upper
part of tko building is occupied as the

sounded a small panic ensued.

HURRAH FOR THE MAN WHO PAYS .'
[Dick Steele in Texas Siftings.] i
Thero are men of brains wno count their
gains
By the million dollars or more;
They buy and sell, and really do well
- On the money of the poor.
They manage to get quite deep in debt
9By various crooked ways; - \
And so we say that the man to-day
Is the honest man who pays.' ;
When in the town he never sneaks down
'' Some alley or way-back street;
With head erect he will never deflect,
But boldly each man will meet.
He counts the cost before he is lost
"■■■ In debt's mysterious maze,
And he never buys in manner unwise,
But calls for his bills and pays.
There's a certain air of dobonnair
:: . In the man who buys for cash;
He is not afraid of being bstrayed
By a jack-leg shyster's dash.
What he says to you he will certainly do,
• If it's cash or thirty days;
And when !>3 COM out; the clerks will shout,
Hurrah for the man who pays! .

Colwmbus, 0., Jan. 3.—The senatorial
contest 13 becoming more bitter, ai:d will
bo the most memorable one in the history
of the state. The Payne men still claim
eixty vote?, and the Pendieton men thirty
two, lacking ten of a major. The feature
of to-day was the homage shown Thurman.
The delegation from both the Pfcndieton
and the Payne headquarter called on him
and would run against each other. Thur
man is at his lodgings in the United States
hotel, two squares from the Neill, where
the contest wages. He has not shown
himself at the other hotels, but ho is being
kept busy receiving visitors, and each bide
is watching the other very closely. The
attention to Thnrman has annoyed the
Payne men more than anything else, but
they say they have anticipated
the springing of Thurman's name when
Pendieton saw he could no» get it himself,
and that they are ready for that or tho use
of the names of Ward, Converse, Geddes,
or any other dark horse. Geddea is
not here and Converse loft for
Washington to-day to get away from
the complications arising. Tho only other
candidate here is Ben Ward, who is making
an active personal canvass. Pendleton s
on the ground doing everything in his
power to control the storm of opposition,
which is terrific to-night. About all of the
members of the legislature are here, and
delegations havo come in from the leading
cities, some of them with bands and ban
ners with anti-civil service reform mottoes,
while the civil service reform bill and the
voting for the confirmation of Stanley
Mathows is n«od against Pondlelon.
This is not a contest of party polioy,
but a m personal on^ against Pendieton
headed by the MoLoons' of Cincinnati,who
have combined with the Bookwalter, Payne
and other factions for the oontrol of tho
party in anticipation of a Democratic
president in 1884. The cow Domocnicy

Thompson's defeat as BsrßeaDt-at

o* the programme that ttr.rtod

will complete the list of tho old crowd
that was to bo goitea oat of tho way. Tha
syndicate for the new crowd is so etroiig
that members even fear to bo eton talking
to Pendieton, lest th^y might be spotted
for the future and left out in the cold.
Pendieton has the combinations of the
money against him, and it really looks to
night as if they would be able to elect
Payne, even against Thunnun,
or any combination Pendieton men might
make. It is ggenorallly believed
here Thurman would stand the pressure if
he thought Pendletou had force enough
left to do any thing for him, but the old
