AN ABSURD SUGGESTION,

The suggestion that the Democrats in
the house of representatives may at the
approaching session pass the senate bill ad-
uniting Washington territory as state and
leave Dakota out in the cold is too absurd
to require much attention, and yet there
are people who will very readily believe
that some such scheme is under contempla-
ton. Dakota'S claims are too valid and too
pressing to be thus ignored, even if there
was disposition to gain an exceedingly
brief party advantage by favoring Wash
ington at her cost. When the friends of
the great wheat-growing territory can agree
upon some just scheme of admission as a
whole or in part the Democrats in congress
will not be found throwing many obstacles
in the way. And there is little reason why
they should. Even looking at the
matter from no loftier than po-
litical standpoint, there is no especial
reason why the Democratic party
should fear the admission of Dakota. The
Republicans affect to think that the fear of
a great Republican majority would be suffi-
cient to induce the Democrats to cheat. if
possible, Dakota out of her right to admis-
sion, but their assertion lacks foundation.
The recent election demonstrated very con-
clusively that with the increase of immigra-
ton and the more general diffusion of in
tellgence it will not be very long before
Dakota will give Democratic instead of Re-
publican maiorities. In the meanwhile the
Democrats will lose nothing by consenting
to her admission as the youngest in the sis
terhoOd of states.

A GIRLS SAD STORY.
Mary Lind, 6 Years Old. Tells Tale
of Debauchery.
Two Men, Whom She Accuses, Hunted
by the Police.

Mary Lind, a delicate looking and
stability attired girl about 16 years old
was brought to the police station
last evening by Capt. Bresette and
locked up in a cell. The
child says she was an inmate of the reform
school up to three years ago, when she was
taken to live with her sister, Mrs. Gooden,
at Dayton town. Hennepin county. About
a month ago her sister refused
to keep her any longer and
she went to Anoka to look for work. From
Anoka she came to st. Paul on Nov. and
got a place as waiter in
a hotel. Not being accustomed
TO this kind of work. she was discharged
and while going the depot day or so
later she was called into clothing store on
Sibley street, opposite the depot. There
she says she
WAS INTRODUCED
to man who said his name was Billy
Dunn, and that he was hack driver.
Dunn took her to rooms on Fifth street,
and afterward to a negro dive on
Fourth street, she staying at each place
two or three days and nights From st.
Paul she went to Hudson and
lived at bagnio there. While
in this place she met
man named Miner. who said he was organ
izing show to go on the road. He per-
suaded her to 90 with him and was
taken to Saltwater and afterwards to
Hastings, occupying room with him
at each place as his wife. On returning to
St. Paul she was met by Dunn who offered
to get her room, providing she
would live with him. She refused
mic
stopping at a hotel on Seventh street with
Miner. During her stay in St. Paul the
last time the company which Miner
is organizing have been rehearsing at Geo.
Ladd's photograph gallery at the corner of
Seventh and Jackson streets. Dunn, find
ing that the girl would not
COMPLY WITH HIS WISHES,
told the police, and Capt. Bresette found
her there last evening and took
her in charge. She had not been
in the station more than fifteen
minutes when Laid and Charles Miner
called and asked how they could get the girl
out on ball. Miner was loked up on the
strength of the girls statements and
Laid, after explaining that he had moth
ing to do with the proposed theatrical conf
pany, was allowed to depart. The fellow.
who gives bis name as Charles Miner. says he
met the girl first in Hudson. but that after
bringing her to st. Paul. went out
on the road again and returned
Yesterday. He says the man
with whom the girl has been living for the
last week is named Myers, and has been
impersonating him. The girls stories are,
to say the least.
VERY CONFUSING,
especially as to names but this is account
ed for bv the treatment she has received.
Laid says he rented room
in his gallery to Miner for rehearsals and
had nothing more to do with the affair.
The girl describes Miner as a
tall. dark-complexioned man with black
mustache and side whiskers. The police
are looking for the man, Billy Dunn,
but up to late hour he
had not been arrested. Dunn, 1t is
claimed. has lately been employed as a
hotel runner. The girl says her mother,
Mrs. Jonas Lind, lives at Stanchield,
MINI.

MORE PAY.FoR DIPLOMATS.

The suggestions of the state department
in the matter of changes in the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill are in the
right direction. The consular service of
the United States is admitted to be the best
in existence. The perfection to which it
has been brought as an aid to commerce
has attracted the attention of other nations.
which, in some instances. are modelling their
own service upon that of this country. In
one respect, however. it is still deficient. The
salaries paid consuls, for the most part are
miserably inadequate. So much so in fact,
that the best men for the places can rarely
be secured. If American trade with for
eign lands is ever to regain its former proud
-eminence, it must be largely through
the aid rendered by the various consuls.
Accordingly, anything which may render
their service more efficient is certainly not
extravaganza. With the diplomatic branch
proper 1t is different. In these days of
quick transportation, telegraphs and cables,
diplomatic representatives are more or less
ornamental pieces of official furniture. 1t
is grave question whether they could not
be dispensed with altogether without dis
turbing our relations with any country to
which a minister is now accredited. But If
it is intended to maintain the service, then
the representatives should be given salaries
and allowances large enough to enable
them to maintain the credit of their country
in dignity and hospitality as well as the
diplomats of other countries are able to do.
Either the diplomats should be entirely cut
off or they should be granted appropriations
large enough to free the country from any
imputatiOn of niggardlineSs. But regard
ing the consular service there can be no
question. 1t should be developed and ell
cOuraged by every means possible.

Must Respect Charlie Gilman.

Ada Independent.
Northern Minnesota has been practically
solid for G. X. Davis, but at the same time if
Charles Gilman enters the senatorial race his
candidacy should be fairly treated. iand if it Is
not, then the members of the legislature from
the down-trodden Fifth district would be jus
titled in doing a large amount of kicking.
The Fifth district has been repeatedly ignored
and idsulted in the past by the metropolitan
press and party managers, and this fresh out
break against Mr.. Gilman, Notwithstanding
the fact that he denies being candidate, is
proof positive that they intend to keep it up.
If the party managers desire to make amends
for the mistakes of the past they should stop
this warfare upon our leading men and do
what they can to secure US just representa-
ton in the legislature.

A Groundiess Report.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26 Commodore
Harmony to-day denied the truth of the
report that several hundred men had
been given employment at the Norfolk
navy yard just prior to the last elections
for political reasons and had been dismissed
after the elections were over. Commodore
Harmony was acting secretary Of the navy
at the time the appointments were made.
and says that about seventy-five men were
employed to perform work on the steam
ship Trenton and the training ships which
needed repairing. The appointments were
made. however, in accordance with the
regulations. which require them to be made
after advertising for the men four DAYS.
The order of Secretary Whitney forbidding
the employment of men for political pur-
poses would have prevented the appoint
ments as alleged. Those employees are still
at work. Those who were discharged
were employed on mscellane ms work for
the new cruisers and were dsm Used be-

A Growing Danger.
Long Prairie Argus.

LUIIg PTdITI6 AFgUS.
In regard to the United States senatorship,
we are of the opinion that c. K. Davis is en-
titled to it as the choice of a number of the
counties of the state, but if a few of those
city politicians fasten themselves to him and
spread few more such falsehOOds over the
state to the detriment of loyal men they Will
swamp him as they well nigh did the Repub-
lican party at the recent election. 1t is the
persistent efforts of a few Minneapolis and
St. Paul politicians to control the important
Offices of the state that is hurting the party,
and no amount of lying can obscure this
fact. If the members of the country dis
tricts know where their interests lie they will
select a speaker from among their own num-
Der, and we believe our candidate is good
man to unite upon.

1t was very easy thing for the emperor
