K*. W. RANDALL, EDITOB.
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 80,1887.
J. J. Ilill aiul his fellow cormor
ants, in a lengthy editorial in last
Saturday's Pioneer Press, gloat over
the new field of plunder opened up
for them by the building of the Mani
toba road to Helena, Montana. Time
and space forbid our copying the
whole article, but here are a few
quotations:
We need not wonder at the spirit
with which the mountain land looked
upon the entrance of the locomotive
over the tracks of one of the greatest
railway corporations in th«t country To
them it meant competition, larger and
more abundant service, cheaper freight
rates, the opening up of undeveloped re
sources, a new impetus to prosperity, all
that the railway has come to mean to
the interior communities of any land."
It would not have been inappropri
ate had St. Paul matched the rejoicings
which made holiday in Helena. For,
much as the entrance of the Manitoba
and the Montana Central implies for the
people of that flourishing city, it has an
even greater significance for the people
of the commercial ceuter of the new
Northwest. The imaginations of our
citizens have failed to grasp the full
meaning of an enterprise whose import
ance to themselves they have had no
data to estimate. The fact is that there
has been added a new empire, a* fair as
any upon which the sun shines, to the
territory naturullv tributary to4 this
point. Lying out of the path of over
land travel, sheltered far to the north in
its secluded valleys, the country trav
ersed by the new line of the Manitoba
road is vet comparatively a terra incog
nita to all hut the few who have looked
upon its fairness. They have heard
vague reports of the mildness of its
climate, the fertility of its soil, its pro
ductive capacities, and the possibilities
that lie before it. But the reality has
been understood only by those whose
enterprise has seen" the commercial
necessitv aud the commercial advantage
of bridging this vast stretcli with the
iron highway of commerce. Along the
whole of the immense line which pene
trates from Devil's Lake to Great Falls,
there is not a mile of territory which is
incapable of practical utilization for til
lage or for grazing. Over the great
prairie, through the magnificent valley
of the Milk river and on to the mount
ains, the traveler rolls through lands of
richness unsurpassed. His eye rests not
upon the brown and dusty sml of an arid
clime, but on the soft green turf which
covers alluvium whore unreaped har
vests and ungathered wealth lie in store
for the husbandman. He is in the zone
where the ink-black virgin soil promises
inexhaustible returns for tillage. He is
where the kindly isotherms that bend
upward insure him a climate as mild as
any in the Northwest, and more equable
than most. He is in a region where
moist winds distill the frequent showers
that bless the agriculture of the most
fortunate among our older communities.
He travels through a country which, to
the eye, is in no way inferior to the lied
river" valley that has given fame and
wealth to Minnesota and Dakota. In
these immense stretches, whose virtues
the settler has already begun to appre
ciate, there is room for a crowded popu
lation. In the valleys there are grazing
grounds for herds that would feed a con
tinent. It is impossible to convey in
language that shall be free from the
suspicion of exaggeration any idea of
the resources of the new world now
•sen to the overflowing populations of
older communities and of older worlds
"To say nothing of the flourishing
centers along the line, of the more acces
sible valleys where comfortable farm
houses and overflowing barns already
testify to the excellence of the land, anu
of the population which is flowing in in
steady streams, here is already the raw
aterinl foi hundreds of thousands of,
jLtunes. Here are the elements out oi
which the chemistry of human industry^
brings the results that have astonished
the world. Here is a new empire for
commerce. And in the trade which
these regions supply there is a force that
would alone suffice for ffce upbuilding of
a mighty metropolis. This, and more
than the present of this new domain can
possibly indicate, is what the building
of the new line will bring to St. Paul.
Over this vast country opened and dedi
cated to peaceful industry, there is no
divided sway. Its daily "increasing in
tercourse with the world beyond will be
carried on through the commercinl cen
ters already established. It will add its
millions and tens of millions to our
t»de."
An so on ad infinitum. More bra
zen falsehoods never were published
in what ought to be a reliable news
paper. First every man woman and
child knows the advent of the Mani
toba to any country previously occu
pied by the Northern Pacific does not
mean competition, cheaper freight
rates, etc, but that it does mean com
bination, maintenance of high rates
and a general charge of "all the traffic
will bear." Next, there is no founda
tion for the glowing accounts of the
fertility of the soil, mildness of
climate, untold mineral resources etc,
except in the imagination of the
moneyed individuals who expect to
steal the '-hundreds of thousands of
fortunes" which the in-flowing tide
of imigrants will build up, but will
never be permitted to enjoy. Those
who are at the bottom of this article
can circulate it and many more which
will deceive ignorant immigrants and
get them into this new out-lying
province. After leaving home and
friends, however, and becoming loca
ted in this "new empire," the unfor
tunate settlers will just begin to learn
where the fun comes in and whose
the fortunes will be. They will dis
cover that only the meanest kind of a
living is for themselves and their
families, while the wealth is for
the money lender and the
fail road, those whosy slaves they
have become. Every person, rich
poor or otherwise, who is deluded in
to thinking that a new paradise has
been discovered and who goes to oc
cupy that portion of it traversed by
this new line of the Manitoba is en
titled to sincerest sympathy. No
matter what his condition now, he
will in a very few years, be reduced
to the common level and his earnings
and previous accumulations will bfe
absorbed to still farther increase the
fortunes of those who are now smil
ing blandly and in perfect harmony
chanting the repeated fcinvitation of
tfcejspider to the fly.
As is usually the case, jgl this
mass of rose tinted exaggeration and
falsehood, there is some truth. The
game will succeed." The trap is set
and thousands upon thousands will
fall into it. New settlers will flock
in to occupy this new territory.
Enough of the natural resources of
the country will be found to make ex
istence possible, but whatever is
above that which is absolutely neces
sary to enable the people to live and
stay, the settlers will find it is not
for them. The picking machines will
be set in motion and
.will be del iber
ately and perfectly adjusted. "Over
this vast country there will be no
divided sway.%'« The railroad ami the
interest gatherer will take it all. No
wonder the pioneer Press bursts forth
in an ecstacy of joy and the Manitoba
moguls and their moneyed associates
find it difficult to contain themselves.
Millions and tens of millious" will
be added to their wealth.

COST VS. PRICE.
Wehaveuot the figures just at
hand but we remember reading a
tabulated statement showing the out
put of coal with the amount stored
ill the anthracite regions at th* close
of the month ofSeptember ex'^t-eded
by a million tons the amount of the
corresponding month of last year.
This fact goes to disprove a famine in
Coal,although the miuesin the Lehigh
re^i'-n are not operated because the
men demand and are refused the
same wages now paid miners in the
Schuylkill region. According to the
report of the bureau of statistics of
Pennsylvania the uet am unt re
ceived by each miner per tou for the
coal he mines will not exceed from
9 to 15 cents. The advance asked 2'.j
cents to the cost of producing coal
so at is as the outside figure, coal is
brought out of the bowels of the earth
by men risking life and limb. Is it
putting it at a low figure when we al
low for screening and putting a ton of
coal on a train of cars under a coai
shute, just twice the cost of mining?
Perhaps so, and we will allow ?1 per
ton as the cost of mining and loading
a ton of coal on a car." Now who is it
that conies in and takes from tiie
cousuuier?
Just here is where the easy-going
individual will wake up to the re
alization of a conspiracy as heinous
in Its operations to rob the people as
ever atiarchists dared to plet for revo'
lution. The coporatious running
their cars up to the mouth of the
mine are the owners of what lies be
neath it—coal and miners both. At
the end of their liues commence
other railroads which have ''pooled"
with the coal companies and receive
their percentage of their profit of coal
mine:! by observing their pledges to
hold together ou the tariff. These
corporations own the whole anthra
cite region. They can limit the out
put, stop it altogether, import foreign
ers to take the places of American
citizens in their mines, and put up the
pric^.tQ $20.—Labar-Eclio.

What judicious aud persistent news
paper advertising will do is well illus
trated by the case of Cameron, a
clothier of Brooklyn. Three yeass
ago lie was running a little bit of a
store in that place and trusting to
catch the casual passer-by as custo
mer. As soon as he had a dollar to
spare he inyested it as far as it would
go in an oddly worded advertisement
in the New York Suu. The dollar
didn't go far, but it was followed by
other spare dollars in the same way.
The advertisement attracted atten
tion, and Cameron, the obscure
Brooklyn clothier began to be talked
about. Customers that the advertise
ments drew found that the advertiser
fullfilled the promises he made. His
business increased rapidly, and he in
creased his advertising. To-day
Cameron is the best known merchant
in Brooklyn, and it requires an army
of salesmen to attend to the customers
that flock to his store. But Cameron
sticks to his newspaper advertising,
and now his announcements frequent
ly occupy an entire page in the New
York and Brooklyn papers, instead
of four or five lines. Advertising lias
made tne struggling tailor of Brook
lyn a millionaire in three year's time.
There is a moral in this.—Ex.

P. 1. O IMiela::, of Traverse county,
stated that the object of the meeting
was to inform the farmers of the ex
tent to which the jumping of tree
claims is going on Mid to devise some
means for protection, He said his

others in Travels ami Big Stone
counties. Extract* from the papers
of those counties were re:d in ^Which
was di.-cuj-sed the ixisti nce of a plot
in (iraceville for making money out

If there is anyone who can explain
why wheat at Liverpool, England is
only worth thirteen cents more than
it is in Minneapolis, and at the same
time worth twelve cents more in Min
neapolis than in Herman from an
honest business standpoint we would
like to hear it. If thirteen cents will
bear the expense of transportiou from
Minneapolis to Liverpool, England,
including waste, it would seem to a
modest person that it must require a
good deal of cheek to make a differ
ence of twelve cents for moving the
same 167 miles. It is really very hard
for the farmer to understand.—Her

In speaking of the amount of fare

Central Minnesotiah remarks as fol

west are compelled to charge four
cents a mile for travel how Is it that
bonds, even spurious bonds created to
divide up and hide immense reve
nues, are quoted at 10 per cent, pre
mium? If $48,000,000 are genuine,
and worth $52,000,000 in the market,
how is it that the railroad, payijy^g

SOCIAL CUTTHROATS.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A COTERIE
OF NEW YORK MA8HEHS.
Well Prewed Deitroyer# WUo #e«p
Quiet About Their Villainy—1The Masher
with the White* Lock—Daily ltound ot
Skillful Operator.
"He belongs to a curious set Of New
York men," said the judge. "They are
Creatures of a recent growth, and I doubt
Very much if similar specimens of the
genus man can be found anywhere else in
the world. They are called 'mashers' in
a general way, but they are in no sense
like the gorgeous London man who has
given the word 'masher' its highest mean
ing. The British 'masher' is a creature
Of'noble apparel, solemn and dissipated
air, advanced degrees in the courts of
bankruptcy and general impressiveness.
Ho wears a great many suits of clothes
during the week, affects a burlesque
actress and drives dashing traps.
The little circle of masliers in New
York has none of these proclivities. They
are men who have lived on the surface of
the town for many years, whose names
are familiar in all of the restaurants and
clubs, and who have gained in one way
©r another reputations as slayers of femi
nine hearts, which stand them in enor
mous value. They are not in societj,
fcneer at the idea of toil, live in the best
possible manner, dress quietly, and are
absolutely mum about the numerous
affairs in which they pass their lives. I
know a dozen men in this particular
crowd, but I never knew one of them to
break the rules of the peculiar free
masonry which apparently exists among
them to keep quiet about their escapades.
This is the most curious feature of the
whole thing. A masher who does not
talk when success has crowned his efforts
would be a rarity anywhere else except
in this extraordinary coterie. They are a
(queer lot, and I can't say that I consider
them a credit to the city."
It affords a droll study of human
nature to watch the operations of the
mashers. Most of their faces are as
familiar to up town people as the I lfth
Avenue hotel. Their mode of life is sim
pie. Take, for instance, a cold and austere
man, with a blonde mustache, a regular
profile, square shoulders and careless car
riage, who has been more or less famous
about town for fifteen years. He has a
scar running diagonally across his fore
head, and just above it is a single lock or
"splash" of hair that is as white as
enow, though the rest of his hair is dark.
I have heard it enviably remarked by
other mashers that this gentleman s ehief
success is due to the immobility of his
face, the yellowness of his mustache, the
whiteness of the splash and the dark mass
of hair which throws it into Buch sharp
relief. He is, in fact, known as "His
Contrasts" in some quarters. Fifteen
years ago a woman followed him in a cab
down Fifth avenue, slipped out as he
ascendtu, the steps of a riv al's
house, ran up the steps, and pushing a
revolver against his head, blazed away.
The bullet, instead of going through the
skull, ran across the forehead. She went
to Europe in the arms of her amiable
husband, and "His Contrasts" retired
into painful obscurity for a time. Five
years after that he was mixed up in a
row which is still talked about by old
timers. It was a three cornered fight—
one woman and two men—in the cabin of
a yacht in the lower bay. When they
dragged "His Contrasts" out he was
pretty well knocked to pieces. Two ribs
were broken, and his general physical
welfare very sensibly impaired, but he
came up smiling, as usual. I have known
him for many years. He has but one
object in life.
His manner of living varies little from
day to day. I have had many opportuni
ties for observing him, as we once had
neighboring apartments in the same hotel,
and he used to amuse himself when he
had an occasional half hour of leisure
from his arduous duties by turning the
pictures in my room wrong side foremost,
bribing the chambermaid to sew the
hangings into all sorts of grotesque posi
tions, Uttering my desk with violent tele
grams and indulging in various other
cheerful and endearing pranks. At 10
o'clock every morning/ the chambermaid
pounded loudly at his door.
If the tattoo was loud enough the door
would open suddenly, there would be a
wild scream and a pattering of feet as the
chambermaid scudded out of danger, and
the ma,sher would rush out into the hall
clad in pajamas, bath robes, nightcap, felt
slippers, and carrying a sponge the size of
a bushel basket. He would then wander
in a more or less desultory way toward the
bathroom, stopping to pound on dooi*3 that
caught his lightsome fancy, and shying
boots through the transoms of roomS
where men lived who had the distinguished
misfortune to possess his friendship.
About an hour and a half later he
would wander into the main dining room
of the hotel, cast his experienced eye over
the people assembled there and eat a very
light breakfast. He wore a frock suit all
day long, and his tailor made half a dozen
a year for him. After breakfast he in
variably lighted a big cigar, and, if the
weather was clear, strolled up Fifth
avenue as far as Central park, and smiled
amiably upon the troops of pretty girls
who were out with their governessses,
nurses, companions, and chaperones, tak
ing the morning air. Every girl over 10
years of age apparently knew his history,
for they would stare at him and peep
over their shoulders as he passed, in a
fashion that would startle a society actor.
At half past 1 or 2 o'clock he drifted
slowly into Delmonico's, scanned the
faces, acknowledged the surly nods of
other mashers with a short inclination of
his head, picked out his table with undevi
ating skill, and spent the next two or
three hours among the wives and daugh
ters of other men who were down town
pursuing the elusive dollar. His habit is
to eat slowly, and look, with a gentle and
melancholy air, from one pair of pretty
eyes to another.
If the portraits of the handful of men
who are a constant subject of talk among
the women of New York were published
they would cause a robust and decisive
sort of derision, The majority of them
are anything but resplendent or attract
ive. If there is a professional matinee, a
picture sale, an art exhibition, a boat
race, a crack horse auction, dog show,
horse show or circus going on in the after
noon, the masher is as sure to be there as
the ticket seller. At night ho dines at
the Brunswick, Delmonico's or the Hoff
tnan house, but never in the cafe. In
this way day after day passes without the
slightest deviation. The mashers all
know each other, they frequent the same
places, they are popular with men and
pursued by women, and yet the occasions
are exceedingly rare when they are called
to account. They are adroit and hold
their tongues, and perhaps it is therein
that their safeguard liea.—New York SUQ.

IWiat Am I To Do?
The symptoms of Biliousness are
unhappily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he lias an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning. His
tongue wiil hardly bear inspection at
any time if it is not white and furred
it is rough, at all events.
Tiie digestive system is wholly out
of order and Diarrhea or Constipa
tion may be a symptom or the two
limy alternate. There are often
Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddmefcH and often
Jieada'-he and acidity or flatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not
effect a cure try Green's August
Flower, it coat, but trifle and thous
ands attest itn effleacy.
