The Mankato Girl Vsnaioates Herself

The Manhato Girl Tjn9ioates Herself.
To the Editor OF the Globe.
ST.. PAUL, Feb. 1S.-I wish to contradict what
was published in the GLOBE. In the first place
was no servant girl. If was it would be no
disgrace to me or any other girl, but the 1914
as was said I earned in the kitchen for i've
years, is a falsehood. I earned it in the harvest
field at hard labor for two weeks, and whoever
was 80 kind to belle me, said it was on Satur-
day arrived It was on Thursday instead,
and as far as my trunk is concerned they said
had none. don't think would run down
to the depot three times for nothing and take
such lip from the gentleman, in other words
the baggage master. I saw my trunk when I
got off the car. saw the baggage master put
it in the baggage room. I thought all was
right and took out my pocket book to see if
had plenty of money to stop at the hotel until
l got employment, put it back in my pocket
and started to seek work and reached Mrs.
Hirst's office, where went to pay her, and to
my horror missed my pocket book. 1 started
back to the depot and my trunk was gone. As
far as what said at Mrs. Hirst's about the
money and check is all correct. There is no
two sides to the story if long-tongue people
would keep their mouths shut. Another thing.
Mrs. Hirst did telegraph down to Mankato to
hold the money in the bank, and the falsehood
lies In someone else besides me, and I am not
afraid OF any of the detectives, and I'll leave
the premises when get good and ready,

me. saying that my trunk was empty and it
was no loss. If the letter did not 20, it was
not my fault for a lady in the Office backed the

RIGHT REV. BISHOP FOLEY, of the Catholic
diocese of Chicago, died yesterday, after an
illness of several weeks duration, aged 81.
Bishop Foley was appointed coadjutor bishop
of Illinois in 1870. and has ever since ad-
ministered the affairs of the diocese with
rare discretion and ability, and has been
greatly loved and revered by all who have
known him. He was preacher of elo-
quence, possessed of singular magnetism,
which attracted every one to him. His death
will be sincerely regretted by the church at
large. The vacancy will probably be filled
by the elevation of DR.. McMullen, who has
been designated as administrator of the
diocese ad interim.

THE FREEDMENS' BANK.

bill has been reported by the Senate
finance committee relative to the defunct
Freedmens' bank. It authorizes the accept
ance of the rendered resignation of the pres
emit commissioners, and devolves their duties
upon the comptroller of the currency, with
power to compound and compromise the
debts and liabilities of the concern, to sell
it's property and wind up the concern. The
comptroller is also directed to inquire into
the management of the company, and to
bring civil and criminal suits, if warranted
against the trustees and others having had
control. The secretary of the treasury is
authorized to purchase the Freedmens' bank
building for $250,000. There should be no
hesitancy in accepting the resignation of the
commissioners. They have shamefully
abused their trust, squandering the funds of
the bank in supporting horde of rapacious
lawyers whose services have been of no
benefit to the depositors, engaging in costly
speculations and otherwise got rid of the
small assets of the concern. Perhaps the
comptroller of the currency may administer
affairs with greater faithfulness and honesty,
yet it is doubtful if even the most careful
management can produce anything from the
assets of the bank that will prove of any
substantial benefit to the depositors.
One part of the duty that it is proposed
to confer on the comptroller of the currency
ought not to be neglected. He ought to
make thorough investigation into the past
management of the bank. and if he does SO
we have no doubt he will find ground upon
which to bring both civil and criminal suits
against the former trustees. more scoun-
drelly conspiracy to rob lot of poor and
unsuspecting negroes was never concocted,
The trustees can offer no adequate defense to
the charge, and ought to be made to suffer
the full penalty of the law. They lent them
selves to that plot knowing its character,
without doubt, and deserve no considera-
ton whatever. Mr.. Knox has an opportun-
ity to redeem himself from the charge of
having occupied an Office for a decade
without having rendered an equivalent for
what he has derived from it, by bringing to
Justice a lot Of rogues who richly deserve
the penitentiary.

THE SENATE.

There were many vacant seats in the
Senate chamber yesterday morning and but
little business of importance was transacted.
The bill creating farmers board of trade
was lost, and the vote reconsidered, and it
will probably pass with fuller attendance
of Senators. The bill appropriating money
for State institutions was laid aside, awaiting
action upon the bill recognizing the insane
asylum. Senator Williams temperance bill
was attached to the calendar as special
order, and as that measure was approached
the autoschediastical manner with which
seats were emptied was ludicrous to behold.
The bill was not to have come up yesterday,
anyhow, and Mr.. Williams enjoyed the joke
hugely in his quiet way.
The bill for the reorganization of the in
sane asylums was the special order for the
afternoon, and its discussion consumed al
most the entire session, not that any one OPP
posed the bill, but in making amendments
rendering its provisions more definite, and
also with the view of having the new trustees
appointed in time to be confirmed by the
present Senate. It was then unanimously
recommended to pass.

The Republican Senate appears deter
mined to pass as many jobs as possible be-
fore it loses its power for mischief. 1t yes
terday attached to the postoffice appropria-
ton bill the Brazilian steamship subsidy
scheme, which had been rejected by the
House. We have already referred to this
measure as steal, designed simply to enrich
John Roach, the Chester ship builder, at the
expense of the taxpayers. The House, We
are sure, will not concur in the Senate
amendment.

RETOLUTIONIZING THE INSANE ASY-
LUH HOSPITAL.

The investigation into the corruption and
misrnanagement of the st. Peter Asylum, is
at last bearing fruit. The dereliction of the
Governor has prevented any practical result
from the exposure which was made some
months ago. Every man connected with the
asylum has been allowed to remain, and the
Rev. Kerr has been promoted as a reward for
his distinguished services. Even Belts, who
feeds patients with hot soup, while wooden
plug is forced down their throats, has been
retained and assured that he is regarded in
high esteem by the asylum management.
The policy pursued has been a little too
high handed to allow to pass unnotlced, and
as the result, Senator Rice, one of the in
vestigating committee, offered bill revolu-
tionizing the entire management of the asy-
lum. The committee to whom Senator
Rice's bill was referred reported back a sub
stitute which was equally as sweeping as the
original bill. A full summary of that bill
appears in the legislative report elsewhere.
After lengthy consideration the bill was
unanimously recommended to pass in the
Senate, and there is scarcely doubt of its
prompt passage by the House. The bill, as
will be seen, revolutionizes the en-
tire management. All of the trus-
tees are legislated out of Office
and the duties of their successors more
clearly defined. That the Governor may
have no excuse for further inaction he is ex-
pressly authorized to remove trustees at will.
The provisions are sweeping, as they ought
to be, and when the bill becomes operative
there will be cleaning out of the Augean
stable, which will be refreshing to behold.
This is what the people want. They are
tired of the style of the gorgeous Bartlett
and the obese Kerr. There is popular i'm
preston that the tax payers should have
something to say relative to an institution
which costs them $125,O0O or more per an
mum to maintain, besides an original outlay
of over half million, and the action of the
legislature in revolutionizing the institution
will be heartily endorsed.

THINGS are getting lively at Washington as
the time for adjournment approaches, and
political feeling runs high. The Democrats
have taken stand favorable to the repeal of
the supervisors of election bill and the
Jurors test oath, and do not propose to
bulge an inch. The Republicans seem
equally determined, and will not consent to
such legislation. Unless one or another of
the parties recede from their position, an ex
