CO-EDUCATION.

Notwithstanding the fact that there
are several well-cOnducted and sue
ceSSful colleges in the country, in
which co-educatiOn is maintained, ex-
perience in other schools does not tend
to uphold the cO-educational principle.
The latest example of failure in this di-
rection is in Adelbert college, AL Ohio
institution. The trustees of this col
lege have just issued card in which
they say that the school is not able to
accomplish its greatest usefulness, nor
is it able to carry out thoroughly the
purposes for which it was founded-the
higher education of young men-if CO.
education is continued. The fact seems
to be that either sex accomplisheS more
in an educational way when instructed
alone.
Though it can not be denied that the
presence of young women has refn-
ing and stimulating effect upon male
students, yet it is to be presumed
that when young men are mature
enough to attend college they are also
sufficiently acquainted with the ameni-
ties of life to be removed temporarily
from female companionShip without
danger, And it is equally certain that
when educated together there are nu-
merous ways in which one sex hampers
the other. Though, to be sure, there
are successful co-educational establish
ments, not one Of them has attained the
prominence of half dozen prominent
institutions devoted to the exclusive in
struction of either sex. There is an in
evitable kind of familiarity produced by
the co-educational school which is
neither desirable nor beneficial to either
sex.
If good educational facilities did not
exist for women then co-education could
have nothing said in its disfavor, but
the facts are quite TO the contrary. AS
excellent schools and colleges are open
exclusively to women as any that
present themselves to young men, and
so long as that condition of affairs exists
it would be much better to give them
the preference

COME TO THE CITY.

Our out-of-tOWn readers will make a
great mistake if they do not, as many Of
them as can possibly do so, come to st.
Paul during the coming week. The in
dustrial parade of Wednesday and the
ice palace Storming of Thursday will be
worth coming miles to see.
We do not speak under the influence
of Carnival enthusiasm, but state simply
an undeniable fact when we allege that
the parade especially will give every
one better idea than has ever before
been afforded them of the manifold
resources of st. Paul, and that
it will be replete with interesting
features which would we'll repay
even considerable Inconvenience at
tendant upon coming to see 1t.
1t is the deplorable habit of the busy
NorthweSternerS to allow themselves too
few holidays. They don't give them
selves up to enjoyment sufficiently to
bring about the recuperation necessary
to continued vigor.
The distance from almost any point
in Minnesota and adjoining states is
not so great, nor are the railroad fares
so high as to place an inSurmountable
obstacle i'll the way of thousands coming
to st. Paul next Wednesday and Thurs
day. Let all who can combine business,
pleasure and instruction by reaching
here in time to view the industrial pa
rade. 1t will be trip that no one of
them will have cause to regret.

The VaSrancy Problem.

To the Editor of the Globe.
L have been thinking about tramps,
anarchists, strikes, labor troubles and
importation of foreign labor. 1t is a
question that ought to strike every one
with its growing Importance who is in
terested in the good of the human race.
Minnesota, with its rigorous climate,
has no law that grappleS the question
for the help of those unf0rtunaGeS who
have not force of character enough to
make war against outrageous fortune.
L am in hopes some future MEM
Der of MinnesOta's legislature will
advance theory in this direction. The
law OF Missouri is good: that is, it is
better than no law; but it has its faults.
My plan for Minnesota is this, and |
give it for what it is worth. When it is
carefully considered it will not appear
harsh. Vagrancy should be a crime less
than miSdemeanOr, and penalty
should be confinement II aSy
lum under the control of the
state, at hard labor, for six months.
The confinement should be sufficiently
rigorous to insure separation of the va
grant and the whisky bottle, and, at the
expiration of the term, the state should
present the vagrant with suit of
clothes and a few dollars in money. The
asylum could be made self-suStaining.
Further, a bill by any hotelkeeper in
the state against the vagrant could be
paid by the asylum authorities on a
Judgment rendered therefor by any
Justice. All this is theory, but L think
something could be worked out of it.
Another thing-many vagrants commit
some slight Offense in order to get a
winters board in Jail, where they live
in idlenesS, OF they are ordered to leave
town in a given space of time to be a
curse to the next community. In the
face of this growing evil, what shall we
do? f. A. BERRY.

MENGES' BOND.
The Western Association Should
Demand His Guarantee.

Demand His Guarantee.
Speaking OF the situation in the West
ern association, the Omaha Bee says:
whether Mr. Menges means what he
says or not, only time can tell, but it is
advisable that the rest of the Western
association people keep their eyes on
him. The best move would be to call
him down within twenty-four hours de-
lay. Ii he is honest Ill his declarations
OF fealty and allegiance to the Western
association, why then does he not send
in his $l.500 bond as a guarantee that he
will play the season out without further
prOcrastination? All the rest of the
clubs have given their bonds. Why
should Kansas City be allowed to dilly-
daily along until the opening of the
season? The filing of this bond
Will allay vast amount of sus-
piciOn, and establish again feeling
OF security in Western circles. If st.
Louis and Cincinnati made dismal fail
ureS III supporting two clubs, what is to
be expected of Kansas City in an under
taking of a like character? Menges
says there will be no conflicting dates.
No schedule in Kansas City, or st. Louis
either, for that matter, can be arranged
for the ball season without conflicting
dates. Two clubs mean financial fail
ure down there. if not to both at least
to one or the other. If this should be
the fate of the Western association club
its effect will tell decisiyely upon the
prosperity and well-being of the remain
ing clubs, and they must protect them
selves. How is this to be done? De
mand that Menges file his guarantee
bond. This will be proof conclusive
of his good faith, and aid the Western
q
that is to govern their relations with
the rival club. No time is to be squan-
dered. or somebody will get the double
cross -

PRACTICAL SYMPATHY.

\ correspondent writing from Su-
periOr, Wis, says that subscription
list has been opened there for the Read
ing coal miners and railroad employees,
and that it was started with $50 sub
scrIption by a business man who has
usually been hostile to labor Organiza-
tionS. Our correspondent says that the
Superior people take this means to enter
protest against King CoRBIN'S refusal
to arbitrate, as well as to serve notice
on our United States senators that if
they are ignorant of the labor troubles
in the best protected state in the Union,
the people of the Northwest are not.
The GLOBE commends the Superior
plan of making protests, and suggests
that the same plan ought to be adopted
in all towns and cities in the Northwest.
Popular sympathy throughout this see
ton is almost universally with the strik-
ing miners, and when an expression of
that sympathy is given in the Substan-
tial way the people of Superior have
done, it counts for something. Let sub
ScriptiOn lists be started in every To-

gress, there are compensating causes
which tend to hold men in these posi-
tions, and we do not believe that they
are easily put aside. Mr.. Nelson
has shown himself to be very
capable representative, and the peo-
pie believe him to be safe man-one on
whom they can depend at all times. He
understands the public questions that
come under the consideration of con-
gresS, and possesses an intelligent idea,
born Of earnest thought, of the effect
they may have upon the interests of the
country and people of his district, which
he is ever ready to defend. Such men
are needed III public life, and in many
cases are apt to remain there. Although
we may not be in full accord with al
the views of Mr.. Nelson, we hope that
this may be true in his case, whether he
continues to represent the Fifth district
or not. Speaking thus in cOmmenda-
tion of Mr.. Nelson does not prevent us
from believing that there are other men
in the district as able, as energetic and

objectionable Sins.


Dakota suffers great deal more from
the impecuniOus newspaper correspond
ent who seiZes onto every blow and mag
nifieS it to blizzard, than from all the
billiards. that ever swept over her fair
face. The East is jealous of the pro!
greSS of the West, and as Dakota is one
of the most progressive territories in
the worlds in fact far more progress
i've than most of the states of the Un-
ion, the animOsity of the Eastern news
paper man is shown whenever he has
an opportunity. 1t is sorrowful to
think of the fate that will befall those
wicked men who abuse their places by
lying about Dakota. We don't believe
that sins of this character are easily for
given. 1t is all very well to have sin for
given, the commission of which has
done no one i'll particular any harm, but
sin committed willfully, of malice
aforethOught, for the purpose of injur-
ing Dakota, is different matter. and
we don't see how it can be forgiven.

of the telegraphic department were
duction in rates they had increased to
nearly Sl0,000,000 in 1887. The charge
for the transmission of Il telegram be-
tween any two points of the United
Kingdom is II cents for the first twelve
words and cent for each subsequent
word, the address and signature
being charged for. The press rates are
very low, the average price paid being
less than cents for 100 words, and
every town in which there is daily
paper is supplied with all intelligenc e
OF a public nature. In view of this feat
ure Mr.. CULLoM insists that the postal
telegraph system is more of necessity
here than in Great Britain, for in this
country the perpetuity of the govern
ment depends solely upon the intelli-
gence of its citizens, and every possible
facility should be afforded for the
prompt dissemination of the fullest in
formation in regard to public affairs.
Another argument he draws from the
success of the British postal telegraph
system is that it has not only been self
sustaining, but the annual surplus of
revenue from this source is sufficient to
pay nearly per cent dividend OH the
full amount expended by the govern
ment in the purchase and construction
of telegraph lines. In Senator CUI.-
LoM'S opinion Just as favorable results
would be had here, notwithstanding the
greater extent of territory to be cov-
cred. The postal service has been
worked up to a practically self-sustain-

MUM is TIE WORD.

There hasn't been word in the East
ern papers for the last three days about
Dakota billiards.. This long silence Oh
the favorite topic of the East is due to
the fact that our Eastern friends are
afflicted with blizzard of their own,
which requires their attention. The
list of casualties is figuring up. too,
fairly well with anything the Northwest
has ever had in the way of blowhard.
Upon the principle that people who live
in glass houses are afraid to throw
stones. we take it for granted that our
tempest-stricken friends of the East
will never say blizzard to us again.

HIS OLD SPADE.
Untold ages have not found,

Untold ages have not found,
In their foSsiliZed World-knOwledge.
Bred and lent from wisdom's college,
Sage like this one on the ground.
Rustlng thrown beneath the shade
From crab-trees-reckless flung around
A bit of greening-overlaid
With grasses braiding nigh the hedges.
Broken, battered, bent. with edges
Ragged as the modern fashion
For gage d'amour billet
Frilled by art-perchance to thrill it
With fleeing breath of passion
Half-revealed
So half-concealed
By lank VlneS-as If afraid
To be censured-his old spade.
1t hath probed the soil of woe,
1t hath covered life's last sadness,
In its day; hath ripped off gladness
To insert guSset low
But narrow in earth mothers breast,
Then sewn 1t up again. We know
1t hath woke up springs calm rest,
To the bloom of wondrous beauty,
To kind of latent duty.
1t hath fought mans battles-giying
Life to satisfy his needing,
Delving down, and perchance reading
The mysterious germs of living
Why's and Whences-
consequences
From the soil where we were made,
Long before this Old spade.
He is lying where the beat
OF Lies toiling cannot center;
Where the seasons can not enter,
With their draughts of cold or heat;
Playing draughts that parch the heart,
Bringing silence, deep and sweet,
To its weary pulsing smart.
All, how memory backward ruShes
To that day he changed these bushes;
Saying they had lost ambition,
Striving in a sphere so narrow;
So, if l would bring the barrow,
He would give them position
Nearer light
AT falling night
They were neatly all arrayed
As they stand, by his old spade.
Memory wandered toward the end,
Drifting always back-unlatching
Times gate. Youths enthusiasm catchin
Stead of ''child,' he deemed me "friend;"
Saying he would like to borrow
If wouldn't mind to lend
Help to harvest on the morrow.
Even farther memory rushed back
TO the early days of ''bushwhack"
And he said his spade would win him
Life All, so indeed it hath.
And perchance its aftermath
In the greensward
of the churchyard--
Past the needs of lend or trade
Came in meath some other spade.
