Humored Consolidation of All the
Northwestern Koailt,
New York, Feb. 10. Tl e
Woild this morning publishes the
following:
"Before the year 1S91 has expired,
all the railroads in the Northwest
will be oierated under a single
management." These were the
prophetic words of a gentleman
who was one of the prime movers
in organizing the Western railroad
association, and who took ar prom
inent and active part in the Wind
sor hotel meetings. The event he
predicted, as outlined by him, is
the most gigantic railroad consoli
dation that has ever been under
taken. The Southwestern consol
idation is a bagatelle in compari
son. Katfroads in the Northwest
include the Northern Pacific, the
Canadian Pacific, the Chicago,
Burlington &(Juincy, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul, the North
western and the Great Northern.

They Threaten tn Defeat Two !:
publican Senators in Illinois.
Spkinoi ikli), 111., Feb. 10. The
senatorial outlook is not very
promising for the republicans to
night. After a live-hour caucus
they could not egree to accept the
projsiti m of the Farmers Mutual
Benefit Ausoiation members lo
combine on one of the hitter's
candidates, and referred the whole
tiling back to the steering commit
tee, with power to act. It is i;ot
likely, however, that any agree
ment will be res died. A disquiet
ing development is tiie announce
ment that a scheme is on loot to
work 'reciprocity' with the South
Pakota legislature, which is that
the Farmers Mutual Benefit Asso
ciation men in Illinois will vote
for Palmer, democrat, and the
democrats in the South Pakota
legislature will vote for an alliance
candidate. In this manner the
democrats would knock out two
republican senators.

THE SII.EK DISCISSION.
It Continues to Be the hief Topic
of Discussion,
Washington, Feb. 10. The sil
ver discussion continues to be the
chief topic of oiscu sion on the
house side of the capitol, and to
day matters have taken a new
stiape. The silver republicans
had a conferen -e last night, at
which th"re was a pretty gtneial
and free interchar ge of views. It
was determined to make an effort
locking to the free coinage oi
Ann i n an product, with a seignor
age charge on foieign silver. In a
quiet way the advisability of hold
ing a party caucus on this position
w ih be mooted. Those in charge
of the plan are not very sanguine
of success, and at present the sit
uation is full of complications.
The democrats, it has been found,
are not as a rule willing to favor
any measure w hich does not pro
vide for the absolute and unlim
ited freo coinage, while to a very
considerable number of republi
cans the free coinage of American
products is almost, if not quite, as
objectionable as the bill which
patsed the senate. In view of the
manv difficulties in the way the
silver men are moving very
lowlv.
