THE HABEAS CORPTS.

once more the GLOBE is endorsed, and is
grati6ed at the fact that the endorsement
comes from SO eminent judicial authority
as Judge Wilkin, of the Ramsey county dis
trlct court. In discussing the legal points
raised by the Frank case some weeks ago. we
took occasion to claim that the case was a
proper one to go before the courts on a writ
OF habeas corpus for the purpose of having a
Judicial determination of the scope and
power of that writ, believing as we did that
the courts had not only the authority to in
quire into the regularity of the papers by
virtue of which man is held in
custody, but also to inquirs as to
whether those papers were legally and prop
erly issued, and were sufficient to warrant
his extradition. In this view Judge Wilkin
fully concurs, as will be seen by perusal of
his opinion published elsewhere. He holds
that the principles involved in the writ of
habeas corpus are too important to permit
OF blind obedience to what appears upon
Its face to be regular process, and the duty
of protecting the citizen in his right to lib
erty gives the court the right to
go behind the warrant of the governor
and Investigate the matter, and ascertain
whether that warrant was issued in accord
ance with the act of Congress. After care
full review of the facts in the case, the Judge
decided that the affidavit produced in con-
nection with the requisition of the governor
of Illinois was not sufficient in that it did
not specify the ofense charged with suffi-
cient defniteness. On this ground, there
fore, the judge discharged the prisoner.
We regret that Judge Wilkin did not 90
more fully into discussion of some of the
questions involved in the case-that, for in
stance, touching the right of a man to a
hearing on a writ of habsas corpus wher-
ever he may be-either at the point where
his arrest was issued or while being con-
veyed through adjoining or intermediate
States to the point where he is to be tried.
Our own opinion is that the writ is potent
enough to follow a man wherever he NAV
go and afford him relief if it shall be shown
that he is entitled to that relief. This mat
ter having been reviewed by Judge Nelson.
we presume Judge Wilkin felt professional
delicacy in touching upon it.
We are glad to learn that test issue is to
be made of all the features of this case be-
fore the supreme court of the United States.
There are many phases of it that raise new
questions of law which Lave not hitherto
been decided by a competent tribunal. It is
essential to the protection of citizens from
arbitrary and illegal arrest that their rights
under the writ of habeas corpus should bs
clearly defined. This can be done only by
the court of last resort, and the attorneys
engaged are determined to have 20 express
aion from that tribunal,

to-day. Those who complain relative to the
introduction of hearsay evidence should re-
member that parties who confess to having
received Washburn's brides criminate them

necessarily be largely circumstantial, but
many guilty murderer has paid hepenalty

The treasury vaults at New York are being
fortified. This statement sounds queerly in
such country as this, where it is currently
reported the land flows with milk and honey.
Probably no person would ever have enter
tanned the idea that the treasures of the GOV
eminent we're in danger but for the an
nouncement referred to. We opine that the
government is endeavoring to get up a char
acter for caution at the expense of the repu-
tation of the people at large. Whatever dis
tress may come upon the people-aud hap
PLY any great distress is far in the future
nothing will be done in any way to jeop-
ardize the accumulations or property of the
government. The idea of fortifying treas
ure vault belonging to the government is
born of despotism, and indicates weakness
on the part of the instigators Of the scheme.

If there was any question about the rela-
tive supremacy of ST. Paul as compared with
Minneapolis it would be determined by
glance at The newspapers. Minneapolis
gives sickly support to two little evening
newspapers published bur six times a week,
and that is the alpha and omega of her daily
papers. ST. Paul not only has two evening
papers, one English and one German, but
two morning papers, published every day in
the year. The GLOBE, which is a thorough
st. Paul institution, is better and more
comprehensive newspaper than either Pitts
burgh, Cleveland, indianapolis, Detroit or
Milwaukee offers. When it is taken into
consideration that St. Paul can have two
morning papers and one of them (the GLoBE)
strictly first class, while Minneapolis has
none, the relative importance of the two
places is settled. Minneapolis can never
amount to anything until she can sustain at
least one morning paper like the GLOBE.

THE SENATE.

The Senate yesterday resumed considera-
ton OF the bill fixing the rate of interest at
10 per cent, which was thought to have been
insuf1icently aired by the previous discus
sion, and in committee of the whole it was
vigorously fought in every manner known to
parliamentary usages. There appeared to be
sort of "free fght'' participated in by three
parties, namely, those who favored tho re-
duction of the rate of interest to 10 per
cent, those who claimed to favor such re-
duction but fought the bill because it did not
conform to the national banking act, and be-
cause of the inability of the courts to en-
force the stringent penalties of the bill
against national banks, claimed that it con-
stituted discrimination in their favor, were
opposed to it, and by few who were op-
posed to any law whatever which sought to
regulate rates of interest. The debate lasted
about three hours, and substitutes, motions
to recommit, and amendments in almost
every particular we're offered to defeat the
bill. Its friends prevailed, however, aud it
was reported back with the recommendation
that it pass.
At the afternoon session the bill merging
the Office of railroad commissioner into that
of Insurance commissioner was considered
in committee of the WI ole and debated with
considerable spirit by the friends of the
measure, but it was noticed that those who
are supposed to be opposed to it handled
the subject very gingerly, and it now begins
to look as if Senator Doran's prophesy that
the legislature will never abolish an office
may be a mistake. There was some open
opposition to the bill, and some proposition
to make other arrangements for collecting
railroad statistics than is contemplated there
in, which we're construed as covert opposi-
ton thereto, but the committee reported
recommending its passage.
