THE HORRIBLE STORY,

It is rare that the public is supplied with
SO horrible record as that which the Sun
DAY GLOBE furnished yesterday in the testi-
mony relative to the Minnesota Insane
Asylum. We have been in the habit of
pointing with pride to this "noble charity"
costing over half million to erect and re-
quiring over 100000 per annun for current
expenses. But as pride goeth before a fall,
the people of Minnesota have tumbled from
their lofty pinnacle and can now look upon
their "noble charity" only with feelings
of shame and horror.
The murder of the patient Mcdonald is
rarely excelled in brutality. One man sit
ting upon his chest, holding his hands, an
other, with wooden plug, thrust, not only
into the victims mouth, but down his throat,
still another, holding down the PROSTATE vic
tim, while fourth turned soup into his
mouth for nourishment. Even if the victim
of this brutality had concluded to swallow
the nutriment so gently offered, he could not,
with the plug in his throat, have done other
wise than choke to death. There was
no hope for the life of the poor lunatic I'M
der such circumstances, and bullet planted
in his heart would have been an act of
mercy and kindness in comparison. We
venture to say more fendish atrocity was
never committed than that perpetrated by
the keeper, Belts, upon the victim, Mcdonald.

TIE ELECTION Law TNCONSTIT
TIONdL,

TEE GLOBE, from tho first, commended that
The recent outrageous election law applying
to St. Paul and Minneapolis, is unconstitu-
tional, in that it destroys the secrecy of the
ballot. The supreme court reports of Indi-
any for 1871 furnish case showing de-
cision declaring similar law in the State
unconstitutional. We quote the syllabus:
Williams, appellant vs.. Stein, (se Ind 49,
The Legislature passed an act requiring the
inspectors Of any election, receiving the
ballot of any voter to have the same number
cd with figures on the outside or back thereof
to correspond with the number placed opposite
the name of such voter on the poll list "
Held, that such act was in violation Of the OBJ
iect Of that provision Of the constitution,
which declares that 'all elections by the peo-
pie shall be by ballot" and was, therefore,
void. A ballot implies absolute secrecy.
The Minnesota law is an exact parallel.
It will be in practical force for the first time
tomorrow, and it ought to be put to test
at once. In fact, there should be an agreed
case made up to present at the next term Of
our supreme court, without awaiting the
slow formality of reaching the supreme
court through an appeal from the lowe,
court. If case can be made up tomorrow
there can be decision secured by June
.ssnd as there can scarcely be q doubt az te
the nature of the decision, the matter would
then be set at rest forever.

THE fort SWELLING BRIDGE.

We give elsewhere, this morning, much
additional evidence of the importance of
securing a bridge at Fort Smelling. To any
one who has given any thought and atten-
ton to the matter, enough has already been
shown to prove that the material interests of
St. Paul will be greatly advanced by the con-
struction of the proposed bridge. Instead
of opposing it, those who have investigated
the matter are struck with establishment to
think that the bridge was not built years
ago. Thousands of people are entirely
driven away from St. Paul with their trade,
because it is not only expensive and danger
Gus, but absolutely a physical impossihility
to travel, with loaded teams, by the present
routes.
1t is narrow view which can see only the
expense and ignore all questions of advan-
tage. Economy can run mad as we'll as ex-
penditures can be made recklessly extrava-
giant. 1t is by the judicious investment Of
capital that great cities are huilt and private
fortunes accumulated. The few who oppose
this measure do it from the narrow stand
point which would oppose any improvement
involving public expenditure.
The question for St. Paul to consider is,
s'will it pay" and that has already been an
swered in the affirmative. We cannot stand
STILL we must either go forward or back
ward. Forward, should be the watchword
at the polls tomorrow.

Sitting BULBS MOTEMENTS,

A Washington telegram fe@ days ago
gave the substance Of dispatch sent some
time previeua BY the United States consul at
Winnipeg, in regard to the movements of
the Sioux refugees under Sitting Bull. Its
purport was to confirm the statements Of
Col. Mcleod, of the Canadian mounted
police, that the movements of the Sioux
chief and his band during the winter related
mainly to the pursuit of the buffalo near the
international frontier, and did not imply
hostile designs, while at the same time, the
consul expressed the opinion, founded
on Sitting Bulls constant ayowals
of his designs, that second Indian cam
paign was only question of time and oppor-
tunity. The date of this communication to
the State Department Yves February 81, and
had no reference to reports from Battleford,
the capital of the Canadian territory west of
Manitoba, under date of March 20, that Sit
ting Bull was likely to league the Blackfeet
and Assinniboine Indians, ranging north of
the boundary, and was urging the Crees to
join him in g general raid on the settlements.
This sensational telegram from Battle
ford - point 1900 miles north
west of St. Paul - was followed
next day by statement purporting to have
been communicated from Fort Belknap to
military headquarters in Chicago, that 1000
warriors, or two thirds of the whole fighting
force of the Sioux nation, may be expected
to- join the hostile refugee camp of Sitting
Bull
The Canadian authorities at Battlefor6
seem to have given way to panic, which ap.
parently does not extend to Ottawa, as We
| have telegram from the Dominion capita
that the Battleford budget is discredited
| We fancy that it will be a long timebefort
