LATE MINNEAPOLTS NEWS.

Last Sunday moring Chas. Swenson, a
young man aged twenty-four years, left
his home at the corner of Third street and
Thirteenth avenue south, for church, since
which he has not been seen by his friends,
who have made thorough search of the
city.
Last evening Ray Frankhauser, who was
seriously injured in a railroad accident at
Blue Earth City, on Feb. 1, was brought to
his home in this city. Although much
improved he is sill suffering from the
effects of his injuries.
Chief Stetson, when on his way tore
spond to an alarm which was turned in from
box q last night, collided with load of
brick which had been carelessIy left in the
street in front of Nicollet avenue, and
smashed his buggy into smithereens. The
chief fortunately escaped serisus injury,
although pretty severely bruised When
he returned from the FIRE, which proved to
be nothing more than false alarm, he
found the wagon had been removed.

Special Telegram to the Globe.
PITTsBURG, Pa, March 1.-The Dixmont
insane asylum investigation to-day devel-
oped two points which &c far
toward vindicating the officers of the
institution from the charges brought
against them by former inmates. The
Erie Herald asserted that a man named
Lenstiel, of Johnstown, Cambria county,
Pa, was kept in the asylum and his way
paid by two of his wife's paramours.
Affidavits were produced showing that
Lenstiel was sent to the asylum by officers
OF Cambria county, who paid al
OF his expenses, and that Mrs.
Lenstlel is one of the most
respectable women in Johnstown. The
Herald had been sued for $4,000 damages
for making the charge. The other point
was this: DR.. Seven testified he went to
the asylum of his own accord. 1t was
shown that he was admitted on the certif-
cate of two respectable physicians of Erie.
witnesses pronounced DR.. Seven crazy
then and crazy now. Unnecessary cruelty
to patients was denied. 1t is not likely
the institution will be damaged by the in
Vestigation.

ELIZUR WRIGHT, the veteran actuaTy and
socioIogist of Massachusetts, discusses
E'Some Aspects of Life Insurance. in the
current issue of The North american Re
vieo0. Mr.. Wright has had many years of
experience in connection with life in
surance as a state official, and has some-
times been peculiarly critical of that great
interest. 1t is consequently valuable to
note that he now frankly testifes not only
to the worth and i'm portance of life insur-
ance but also to the general present sta
bility of the companies and the wisdom of
their management The gigantic charac-
ter of life insurance in this country is well
shown by his statement that the companies
shave policies in force amounting probably
to something more than S1,500,0 100000 on
about half million of lives, all of
which are reasonably sure of being
paid at maturity" Such showing,
coupled with the fact that tie annual re-
ports of the companies prove the past
year to have been one of unexampled
prosperity to them, is solid evidence of
the confidence in which American life in
surance is now held. 1t also proves that
this interest gives better satisfaction to
the public when unvexed by Legislative
REGULATION" When the people are show
ing in SO marked a fashion their conf
dence in life insurance, there is no ap-
parent call for new legislative enactments
hampering it in Minnesota or anywhere

AMONG the excellent measures passed by
this legislature is the one creating for
Minnesota State Board of Correction and
Charities. Similar boards exist in ten
other states Of the Union and have been
productive of great good. Great economi-
cal and moral reforms have been secured
by them in penal and correctional insti-
tutions. This bill was drawn up by Chap
lain Dana, after correspondence with Gen.
Brinkerhoff, of Ohio, and others, and be
has been most interchangeable in presenting
its merits to those unacquainted with this
system.

members of the board, will its usefulness

EASTERN JEALOUSY OF THE FEST.
A few envious eastern members of con-
gre8s yesterday attempted to afix unnec-
essary conditions to the appropriations for
the improvement of the Mississippi river
with the design of rendering them unayaiI-
able. The amendments were stubbornly
resisted by the western and southern mem
bers and were defeated. The clause as
finally adopted appropriates $2,15O,000 to
be expended under the direction of the
Mississippi river commission, $1,5OO,OOO
from the mouth to Cairo, and the balance
on the upper river. This sum is ample
for the p resent needs of navigation-or at
least it is all that can be economically ex-
pended this year-and it is to be hoped
as possible and be prosecuted as rapidly
as is consistent with thorough work.
The jealousy of the eastern congress-
men regarding all appropriations de-
signed to benefit the west and south is I'M
accountable and unfair. 1t is shown on
almost every occasion. When the postoffice
appropriation bill was under discussion
it cropped out in opposition to appropri-
ations for fast mail service on western
roads, and they were defeated, while a
round amount was given from the public
treasury for similar service at the east.
The east, ever since the foundation of the
government, has drawn sustenance from
the public treasury on every conceivable
device. Millions have been spent on the
improvement of her creeks and frog ponds
that are of no service for purposes of COM
merce, but have been turned to account
for manufacturing purposes. There are
still yearly demands for more; in fact it
looks as if the thirst of that section was
unsuitable.
It would seem as if, having received so
much, the east would be willing to give
other sections chance. But such is not
the case. Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, ex-
pressed, we believe, the sentiments of the
people of the west generally on this sub
ject. People out this way are
getting weary of being imposed upon,
and propose hereafter to assert and main
tain their. rights. They pay the greater
part Of the taxes, and fortunately they
have the power to enforce their demands
If the west needs money to improve her
waterways and harbors she is going to
have it, whether the east likes it or not
The Mississippi river improvement is q
national work, which is of the first i'm
portance, and although it may require a
large amount to make it navigable at all
seasons from st. Paul to the gulf, and to
protect the lands along its banks from in
undation, the money will be well invested,
for it will be returned to the people in
cheaper rates of freight, the enhanced
value of property, and the development of
the commerce of fully one-third of the en-
tire extent of the territory of the United
States. The east must be taught to re-
spect the wants of the west in all respects.

IN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
NEEDED.

Whether or not President Arthur has de-
termined upon calling an extra session of
congress, he should hesitate no longer. 1t
is a foregone conclusion that no reduction
of the taxes will be effected at this session,
and if any measure with that purpose is
consummated it will necessarily be but a
makeshift and of course incomplete and
partial The entire subject will have to be
gone over again by the next congress from
beginning to end whether an extra session
is called or not.
In the meantime business of every sort
is injuriously affected by the agitation of
the subject. The newspapers are filled
every day with reports of suspensions of
mercantile and manufacturing establish
ments, and from every part of the country
come complaints of dullness in trade of
every sort. Men with money are 10th to
invest in any business that is affect
ed directly or indirectly by
the tariff Or internal revenue taxation,
while those having money in such enter

The legislative session, so far as the
passage of bills is concerned, closed last
night, and the meeting to-day is for the
signing of enrolled bills and the gathering
up the plumber of the session. The clos
ing night was marked by the usual rush,
and at times good deal of noise and dis
order prevailed. The slaughter of bills
was something immense. 1t is probable
that two hundred were lost on account of
not being reached and in other ways.

prises are making every effort to get it
out. This instability and want of conf
dence viii continue as long as the agita-
tiou of the tariff and tax laws continues,
and it is more than likely that before the
time for the next congress to convene in
regular session arrives, commercial
panic will be precipitated that will out
rival that of 1873, from the effects of
which some parts of the country have not
yet recovered.
Under these circumstances it is the man
ifest duty of the President to do what ne
can towards fastening settlement of this
vexed question. Every business man is
interested in the subject, for there is no
occupation that is not in some degree in
luenced by these laws. Unless there can
be some assurance that the taxes will be
permanently fixed before the next regular
session os congress there will be year of
business prostration such as we have
never before experienced. If there was
surety that the question would be settled
one way or the other at an early day
our business men would be content to
wait, in the meantime trimming their sails
to the breeze. They could, in large de-
gree, provide against disaster and be
ready to resume operations with confidence
after the taxes are fixed. But if the mat
ter is to be delayed till December next,
with a possibility that the agitation will
continue Indefinitely, it will PROSTATE
thousands of business houses in every
branch of trade. The President could per-
form no act at this time that would re-
ceive more universal approval of the
business community than the calling of an
| extra session of both houses of congress
for the sole purpose of settling the ques-
| ton OF customs and internal revenue taxa
ton, and in his message enforcing the i'm
portance of the matter by as strong argu-
ments as he is capable of employing.
