2 ST. PAUL NEWS. » ■ l *■ THE RAILWAYS JL MANITOBA PAPER KICKING AGAINST THE CANADIAN PA CIFIC. It Enjoys too Many Privileges and Wants too Much Money— Electrical Detec- Miscellaneous Railway 'N*te» at Home and Abroad. The C. P. E. I Manitoba Free Press, 28. J The Free Prc^bas always contended that the O. P. R. contract was none too favor able to the syndicate. The logic of events has proved that we were not in error. The company is at present in the position of not being able to carry on work without farther assistance. Such assistance must be forthcoming. It would be disastrous in the extreme, not only to the northwest but to the Dominion at large, were the work now to come to a stand-still. The opening up of the coun try iB essential to the very life of the con federation. Enormous liabilities have been already incurred which the development of the northwest alone can enable Canada to bear. The building of the road and its branches must be continued; and that work can be more cheaply and more act on ly done by a company than by the govern ment. The extension of the Southwestern, for instance, which the company have in contemplation for next season, is a matter of the most vital importance to the wel fare of one of the largest and most popu lous sections of the northwest and prob ably the finest agricultural district in Canada. To disappoint the residents of this district, who went there depending on the early construction of this road, and have waited in patient expectation, would in itself, be a most serious matter. The whole people of this country have acquired vested interests under the promises held out in connection with the ' Canadian Pa cific railroad, and it would be a breach of national faith to allow them to suffer through the inability of the company to carry out its undertakings. We believe that the people of Canada will look at the matter in this light; and that, having put their hands to the plough for the purpose of opening up the north west, they will not turn back. The ques tion, then, bo far ac they are concerned, we are convinced, will be, not shall we further assist the C. P. It., but how can we most effectively-assist it in the in terests of the Dominion? If this question be carefully pondered the answer to it will be found to be— by making such advances as may be necessary for the work, on con dition that all claims in the way of mon opoly shall be given up at once and for ever by the company. This is the one way out of the present difficulty by which all parties, the Dominion, the Northwest and ths Canadian Pacific railroad, may escape creditably and profitably. There should be no hesitation in following it. It iB asserted that even had the C. P. R. bo monopoly, competing roads could not and would not be built by private capi tal. If this be correct, it follows that the monopoly is of no benefit to the C. P. R. It cannot be contended that it has not al ready done great injury to the oountry, and hence to them,sinoe their interests are bound up in the country. They should not hesitate, therefore, about giving it up for a fair consideration. The people of the northwest are unanimously of the opinion that they are deeply wronged by being deprived of the light to charter local railways where they please. An agitation has sprung up in consequence, and will without doubt be continued until all restrictions are re moved, The feeling which gave rise to this agitation, and still more the agitation it self, have created a prejudice against the northwest in emigration centers, and any considerable influx of settlers under exist ing circumstances is not to be anticipated. It is absolutely essential, therefore, to our furthei progress and prosperity, that monopoly should be done away with. So firmly convinced of this are the people of this oountry, that we feel justified m say ing that they will not for any length of time submit to it. They are at present anxiously watching the course of the gov ernment, in the hope that it may be suffi ciently well advised to perceive the neces sity for making satisfactory arrangements of some kind with the company. Should they be disappointed theie is little doubt that the government, and not improbably the company as well, will have reason to xe«rret having disregarded their wishes. Oar conservative namesake, the Lon don Free Press, finds a justification for the making of further advances to the C. P. B. in the fact that "In days gone by the Grand Trunk got $16,000,000 as an advance, which the oountry has "never had occasion to regret, though it "has never been repaid. The Inter colonial has cost us about $40,000,000, "and the money is known to be well in "vested in promoting intercourse, in im "proving trade, and in forming a strong "and long link in the great Canadian "transcontinental line." Our contem porary hits the nail on the head in men tioning that these advances have not been repaid. Whatever the C. P. R. now gets as a loan, or whatever other name may be given to it, will also in reality be a gift. This being the case, the oountry should at once secure all that it can as a quid pro quo for any conces sions it may be found necessary to make. If the governmernt decides on advancing to the company the amount necessary for the carrying on of their work, as we be lieve they will, they should, therefore, take an assignment of the monopoly in prefer ence to any mortgage or other securities that may be offered. We say once more, then, to both the gov ernment and the Canadian Pacific Railroad company, that if they make any new arrangement under which the present monopoly is to be continued, without tak ing into consideration the requirements of the now thoroughly aroused people of the northwest, they will find to their sorrow in the near future that they have reckoned without their host. A Meclumical Detective. A meohaioal contrivance, invented by a Methodist minister, and now in r.se on the railroads centering in Scranton, Pa., fo the purpose of cheeking the manner in which freight trains are run by the em ployes, has reoently attracted a good deal of attention and been vigorously denounc ed by railroad men. The claim is made by the employers that some such thing was necessary to prevent the deceptions practiced upon the companies by the crews running freight and ooal trains faster than schedule time to make np for the unnecessary delays at the various stations. The offi cials allege that, no matter how faithfully a condnctor and engineer might promise not to run faster than fifteen miles an hoar, there are times when they will disre gard all obligations and run as fast as thirty miles an hour to make np for time spent With their cronies at some of the stations along the line. The invention al luded to renders it impossible for railroad men to practice any such deception. It is a simple piece of mechanism constructed much on the principle of tbe "tape" that checks off the condition of the stock market. It is wound np like a clock, locked within a box, and placed in the caboose, where it is geared to'< he axle of the car. On a large sheet of stiff paper marked into small squares a pencil or tracer keeps moving with the train and records the revolutions of the axle, the delay made at any given point, the number of jolts and jars sus tained on the trip and where they occurred, together with other facts going to make up an accurate record of the journey. The record is laid before the superintendent, who sees at a glance how any particular train was run, and acts accordingly. It is claimed on the part of the companies that the irregularity of running coal and freight trains, and the "soldiering" of the men at the stations, as well as their method of making up for lost time, have in the past been prolific of many serious accidents, resulting in much loss to rail road property in wreckage, as well as in wear and tear. With tho "tattling machine" at work in the caboose, recording every throb of the locomotive with the precision of a shorthand reporter, this will be im possible. But the "tattler" is not liked by railroad men. They consider it not only a nuisance, but a blunt warning on the part of the companies that their men are untrustworthy and cannot be relied upon. Sail Notes. Mr. J. 0, Qainby and daughter left for Jacksonville, Fla., on the Albert Lee route yesterday. Mr. Manvel, George Alexander and Mr. Warren, of the St. Paul <fc Manitoba road, have gone to Chicago to attend the meet ing of passenger agents that are to meet there to-day to talk over the Canadian Pacific cut on passenger rates. W. J. Underwood ha 3 been appointed superintendent of the Souix City & Dakota division of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, extending from Sioux Falls to Sioux City, and from Sioux Falls to Yankton and Scotland. His headquarters will be Sioux City. The Chicago & Northwestern road has i just issued a circular stating that the fol lowing rates will hereafter &c in effect for switching: Grain held out and afterward ordered to connecting lines, private tracks or to elevators will be subject to a charge of $2 per car for switching. Grain billed for track delivery and afterwards ordered to elevators, to private tracks or to con necting lines will be subject to a charge of $2 per car for switching. The "Royal Route "has just issued a new circular or small bill in regard to its new route by way of Sioux City, Council Blcffs and Kansas City, to Eureka Springs the famous hot springs, Memphis, and down the Mississippi to New Orleans, and by the way of New Orleans to Jacksonville. Excursion tickets to all points named above, and |to the winter resorts of Texas are now on sale. Special rates are to be made for the Mardi Gras carnival at New Orleans. To-day the Grand Trunk, the St. Panl & Manitoba, and other roads interested in the cut made by the Canadian Paoifio from Montreal to Winnipeg, are to have a meet ing in Chicago for tha purpose of con sulting as to what shall be done in regard to the matter. The roads in the United States find it difficult to set tie npon a plan of procedure that will meet the case. The rates fixed npon by the Canedian Pacific ar6 so low that they amount to a destruction of the roads. It looks as though the Grand Trunk and the St. Paul & Manitoba roads would have to oome to the same rate for all competing points. In regard to the matter of officer? on the Northern Pacific road there is nothing new, more than the fact that a circular has been prepared in New York and reoeived in St. Paul announcing J. M. Hannaford general freight agent, in place of John Muir, resigned; C. S. Fee, general passenger agent in charge of the passenger and ticket departments ; H. C. Davis, as sistant general passenger agent. In regard to the assistant ticket agent no appoint ment has been made. It has been stated that Mr. S. F. Boyd has been tendered the last position and declined it. A promin ent railroad official of the Northern Paoifio denies this. At any rate the circular is being held here until such appointment is made. TUESDAY'S TOUGHS, They Were Out in Large Force Yesterday and Paid Their Respects to Judge Burr. "The docket shows that Clerk Fairohild has got back," said Bailiff Clouse to the reporter yesterday, in speaking of the sudden boom in the volume of police court business. "You don't mean to say that Frank is a hoo-doo, do you queried the scribe. "Well it looks like it," said the bailiff, and he was about to enter into a disquisi tion on the subject when the old man brought down his gavel and then the per formance commenced. Among the first candidates for honor was the venerable ruin Hannah Welch ; she had been full again and a copper had run her in as usual. When brought into the pen she said, "Your worship I was feeling weak and took a drop of beer; iet me go and I will return to Minneapolis." The court said it was too thin to laundry and she went up for ninety days. Mike Collins is a howling Piute when full, and he gets full pretty often. Mon day night he was collared at Seven comers on the verge of the jimjams. Yesterday he was fined ten bills. Louis Troy is quite an industrious young sneak thief. Last Sunday he went through a hash foundry on East State street and cabbaged a lot of clothing belonging to a boarder named Elmer Gray. Yesterday he was held to the grand jury and commit ted in default of $750. Chas. Held and John Cars met by chance in a beer joint Monday night, and quaffed sundry bowls of the flowing nectar After a while they engaged in a dispute concerning the payment of a schooner of beer, 5 cents, and Held proceeded to polish off his chance acquaintance. When he thought he had taken five cents worth of fun out of him he stopped. Yesterday the comrt looked at the bloody mug of Cass and he thought the damage thereto was worth $20. Held paid the coin. Chas. Harris, who went on a hurrah and fired his revolver off just for fun, was fined $5 and the weapon was confiscated. The brothers Mike and John Fiemiag, who were howling drunk on the street, were sent np for twenty days each. Victor Gooddell, was up for threaten ing to whip a woman. The manly fellow was pet under bonds of $200 to keep the peace. The case of A. Snell charged with beat ing a granger out of $60 by the three card monte fake, came up on c continuance. The accused said that he could bring wit ness to prove an alibi, and the hearing went over until this mcrning^ The case of H. Henty, charged with bastardy, will be settled and it was con tinued to Feb. 6. James Catlin was arrested cy officer Ronllan yesterday on the charge of steal ing fish from a car on the Manitobar rail road. The hearing was set for to-day. Tho6. Swan, a leading restaurant and fruit dealer of Detroit, assigned to-day. Assets es timated at $20,OC0; liabilities $2.,000. THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE, WEDNESDAY MOKNIfIG, JANUARY 30, 1884. THE HAT QUESTION. Governor Hubbard Asked to Call an Ex tra Session, bat Declines—The Present Legislature No Good. Governor Hubbard supplied the news papers yesterday with the following letter, declining to call an extra session of the legislature to regulate the grievances of the farmers: State of Minnesota, V Executive Office, I St. Paul, Jan. 25, 1884. } Elias Stienerson, Esq., Fisher, Polk Co., Minn: ~ Dear Sir: Your name appears first in order upon the first of many petitions lately received, asking that the legislature of the state be called together in extra ses sion, to consider the matter presented in regard to the grading,shipment and trans portation of wheat. It is to yon, therefore, that I address this reply, published for the information of all the signers, giving some of the reasons which lead me to the con clusion that it is not best to convene the legislature. I do not doubt that there exist grounds for complaint on the part of the growers of grain in a considerable part of the state against the prevailing rules and practices in grading, buying and transporting their products. lam not now for the first time convinced that there is danger that those who control the operations of great rail roads, intent first and chiefly on subserv ing the interests of their stockholders by the economical and effective management of their gigantic agencies, would be found less prompt in observing that some of their rules were burdensome upon the mass of the people, than that they were con venient and profitable to themselves and the small minority of the people who deal with them in large, frequent and easily regulated shipping contracts. Re oent experiences have made it painfully evident that the uncertainties and vari ableness of grading imposes frequent losses upon those who sell grain, and creates a belief of losses, perhaps more frequent and greater than actually exist. I believe that legislation can do much to remove just complaints on the ground of monopoly in buying, extortion in transportation, or inequality in grading, yet I doubt if the relief desired could best be obtained from the present legisla ture. In my message to that body one year ago, 1 earnestly recom mended the adoption of "a evstem of state inspection which should comprehend the fixing of grades of grain, and the adoption of rules regulating the manage ment of elevators and warehouses;" and, also, strongly urged upon its attention the necessity of some "legislative action im posing restraints upon the management of railroads." Both branches of the legisla ture had both these questions before them. Bills were introduced for legislation simi lar to that which the petitioners now seek. They were considered by committees of both houses; both houses came to the con clusion that no action was advisable. A recall of this legislature to perfect such legislation might be interpreted to imply a censure of their former judgment, and possibly be regarded as an attempt at co ercion of the legislative discretion by a co ordinate branch of the government. But such is the oondition of the finances of the state, owing to the extraordinary demands upon its treasury, from the necessary re building of it& capitol and those parts of its hospitals for the insane and the reform school destroyed by fire, the expenses of the extra session of 1881 and the impeach ment trial following, that I doubt if I would be justified in imposing upon the taxpayers of the state the burden of the cost of an extra session of the legislature, even if these subjects had not already oc cupied the attention of that body. The evils co!nplainea of, though under stood by the agriculturalists of the whole state are now most keenly lelt only in por tions, along certain lines of railway. Even there the damage will have been mostly done, the crop nearly marketed, and the losses suffered, before legislation could be come effectual. A new house of representatives will be eleoted next November. It may be chosen if the electors please, with reference to these questions. It will convene with the senate the first of next January. To that legislature I shall as suredly recommend the enactment of laws that will secure at every station a market open and unrestricted; shipment and transportation for any and all without dis crimination; and the establishment and maintenance within the state of a uniform and unchanging standard of grading. The intervening time will not be too long for those who may have the duty of legisla tion before them, to study the problems what to do and how to do it, and to direct public sentiment to an agreement upon a solution so reasonable and practical that no interest can hope to obstruct or evade it. Yours very truly, L. F. Hubbabd, Governor. SHOULD HAVE A PENSION. A Man Who Lost His Moral Character Du ring the War—He Claims a Pension and Ought to Have it. The following letter on a new pension subject found its way to the state capitol on Monday. The subject is so tartly handled notwithstanding according to Webster the writer has a bad spell that it seems to be worth publication: Bingham Lake, Jan. 27, 1884. To the Adjutant General of the State of Minnesota: The undersigned was a sol dier during the late war. When I entered the army I was a young man of good mor al character, belonged to the church and attended Sunday school regular. But now _ after serving my country I have contracted bad habits, will now sware and steal, in fact I am ruined morally. What I want to know, am I entitled to a pension for loss of moral character? I hold that the govern ment is bound to return its soldiers in as good a condition as it received them mor rally as well as nsikaly I will defie any man to associate with guard house bum mers, mule drivers and officers as long as I did without loosing his moral character. ["He who steals my purse, steals trash, etc."] If there is no law covering my case will you please have one passed, for I know quite a number who are in the same fix as lam. If there is a law covering my case would my evidence be good for anything. Please give me full advice just how to act. I am a little afraid if I should testify that I was a man without any character I would not be believed, but you will understand how it is yourself. P P— , Late Private in Co. G,Bth Illinois Cavalry. - The Fight for Separation. The motion for dismissal by defendant of the , action brought by Frances L. Walker from her husband Jame.s J. Walker, on charge of adultery, was granted by Judge Brill at the conclusion of the hear ing of the case yesterday, on the ground that the parties were non-residents of Ramsey county, and were properly subject to the courts of Winona county in such an action. It is said that on the conclusion of the trial the defendant had papers served on the plaintiff before she could again get across the line into the state of Wisconsin, where she has really been resi ding since she brought her action for di vorce in Ramsey county, sueing her for di- vorce for adultery, and making the case returnable to the district court of Winona county.

Articles of incorporation were filed with the secretary of state yesterday of the Chaska Dairy association in the village of Chaska, Carver county, formed for the purpose of holding or selling real estate and for agricultural purposes, and holding land for grazing purposes to be used by the members of the corporation. The amount of capital stock is placed at $3,000, divided into shares of $60 each, which is to be paid in at the time of the delivery of the stock. The indebtedness is {limited to $1,500, and permission is g:ven to increase the capital stock at any time by a two thirds vote of the directors. The incorporators are thirty-seven in num ber, and all residents of Chaska village. A Second Disagreement. In the first trial of the suit of B. H. Leveridge against the St. Panl Gas com pany to recover $1,200 salary, he having been dismissed on the ground of incom petency to manage the company's electric light system, after having been engaged for a year, the jury disagreed, standing nine against the claim of the plaintiff to three for him. The second trial was con cluded yesterday by the jury's being out from 5 p.m. Monday to 3p. m. Tuesday and coming in disagreed seven to five. At noon the jury stood evenly divided and asking to be discharged, Judge Wilkin gave them a very sharp lecture, but it proved of no use. STILL WATER ULOBULES. Senator Sabin returned to Washington yesterday. F. M. Wilson, Esq., of Red Wing, made the city a business call yesterday. There will be a meeting of the relief as booiation this afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. A general at tendance is urged. A fragrant old couple were before the police court yesterday morning, and were each fined $7.50 for not keeping their win dow shutters closed. Sheriff Holoomb is apparently well pleased with his new boarders, all of who™, he states, conduct themselves in a remarkably quiet manner. Business in the oar company's office is being transacted with the usual system and regularity. But little of the effects of the recent fiery interuption being visible. Capt. Taylor reports that all of the pa pers and records of the Minnesota divis ion, sons of veterans, were destroyed by the fire of Saturday morning. It is fur ther stated that the loss of these important documents in most instances is irrepara ble. The new roof on the oell room proper was completed at noon yesterday. All that remains to be done before the prison ers can be returned to their old quarters is to get the cells thoroughly dried, whioh it is thought will be accomplished by not later than Friday. It is understood that an effort is being made to reorganize the Stillwater band. The fir3t move towards this desirable end is to secure tha servioes of an efficient teacher. Mr. Frecke, of St. Paul, who is said to be an accomplished musician, is favorably spoken of in connection with the position. Mike Blake, proprietor of a saloon on the Wisconsin side of the lake, has been charged with selling liquor without gov ernment license. Evidently a mistakejhas been made by somebody. The accused claims he has violated no law. In confir mation of this statement he exhibited a receipt of the oolleotor of internal revenue at St. Paul showing that the necessary lioense had beet obtained and paid for. Notwithslanding this Blake was compelled to visit Madison for the purpose of ex plaining matters to the revenue official in that city.

Growth of St. Paul. | Le Sueure News.] According to its usual custom on the last day of each year, the St. Paul Daily Globe came out on Monday, December 31st, with a sixteen page edition giving a fall history of the improvements made and the business done in the city of St. Paul for the past year. The number was handsomely illustrated with illustrations of some of the public buildings aud busi ness blocks built during the year. The grand aggregate of money expended on buildings and other improvements during the year is shown to have been $10,665,440. The wholesale trade of the city foots up to the enormous sum of $81,353,000, showing an Increase over the business of 1882 of $11,671,000. The grocery trade takes the lead of all other departments. These figures show remarkable growth and pros perity at the capital city, and the Globe does itself proud in the presentation of ths statistics to the publio through its columns.
