A Business Newspaper Strongly
Advocates " Omen's Rights.
NEW YORK, Dee. 14.-The Journal of
Commerce, the leading New York bust
ness daily, in all editorial published this
evening, strongly advocates women'S
rights. 1t says in substance
that the labor reform really
needed the emancipation of the
women of the labOring mems families
from the slavery or fourteen TO sixteen
hours daily work in the household, and
that the demand for reducing the mems
working time to eight hours has no JUS
tice in it while these men do not reduce
the prolonged time of the women of
their own household. 1t calls upon all
members of the federation of labor 10
begin reform in their own homes. The
wOulan's rights party is much elated at
this declaration by this conservative
anu powerful journal.

A Noted Bank sneak Caught in
Flagrante Delictu.
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 14.-George W.
Evans, alias William Franklin. a
noted bank thief, was detected this
afternoon while trying to rob the
United States Express company of
$4,000. Evans went to the express
Office with a confederate, who said he
desired to ship some baggage. The
confederate engaged the employees i'll
conversation while Evans sneaked into
the money vault. which was open, and
took up three small packages of money,
but before getting out was captured.
His confederate is believed to be
LOrnaghan, better known as Mollie
Matches. In 1881 Evans was convicted
in this city OF stealing $500 by the drop
game. He was convicted and sent to
the penitentiary for five years. Since
the expiration of his term of service he
has been living North and now claims
Brooklyn as his home.

The EXTREMIST Penalty.

In Chicago recently two young men were
sentenced TO the penitenliary for life for the
theft of SO. That looks like getting back to
the old time when IL was "a sin to steal
pin," and all sins were deserving of capital
punishment. But In this Chicago case the
offenders had been sentenced to the peniten-
tiary twice before. and the third otfense, I'M
under the statute OF that state. constituted
them professional criminals and subje Cts to
the life sentence. Possibly In Chicago there
is such al etfuslou of moral malaria that ex-
cessive penal severity is needful. but humane
aud philanthropic instincts can but shudder
at that ordeal. People who steal millions
and keep up their plundering for long years
are in no danger of that terrible penalty.
They may escape any sentence and be rich
and happy. Of course the security of The So
cial fabric requires the So fellows to be incar-
cerated for life. but there are inequalities in
the restrictions imposed by human machin.

EDUCATIONAL CoNvEN TION.

1t is fairly settled that the next ma
tional educational convention will be
held IN st. Paul, the only element of
doubt being the hardness of our people
in comply ing with the condition which
provided that the city aud its citizens
should defray certain expenses. And
it is to this point we wish to direct the
attention of our business men. The adj
vantages of having the next session of
the association held in this city are too
apparent to need discussing. 1t is the
largest educational body in the world.
and if it comes here it means the most
EXIT nsiye advertisement the city has
ever had. Ii will bring together here
in our midst 10000 Intelligent men and
women from all parts of the United
States, who will remain in our city from
five days to two months. An official
bulletin of the convention, an Illus
trated pamphlet, containing besides the
programme of meetings much matter
relative to ST. Paul, will be printed, and
100000 copies mailed gratuitOusly to in
dividual addresses in all parts of the
United States; and from now until the
time of holding the convention notices
of st. Paul. prepared by the various
committees. will appear in newspapers
in nearly every county of the Union.
Thus we are enabled to see what an
amount of advertising I. Paul will get
out of it. Then the money expended for
board and incidental expenses by so
large a number of visitors will more
than compensate for all the expense we
are subjected to. AS we have stated,
however. the executive committee
agreed to fix upon st. Paul as the place
for holding the next convention upon
the condition that the people of this city
would pledge themselves to defray
cartain expenses. These expenses con-
SiSt of the salary of a local secre.
tary. and necessary clerks, stationery.
postage, rent of halls, the travelling ex-
penspS OF the executive officers, and the
various expenses incidental tn the ac-
commodation of body of 10000 people.
1t is estimated that from $4,000 to Sl2,-
600 will be necessary to meet these ex-
penses. The city council has guaran-
teed 5000 of the fund. and the residue
must be raised by private subscription.
We call attention to this matter now.
and urge ir upon our citizens, beca use
the whole amount must be guaranteed
by the 1st of January, or there is danger
of another city being selected, and we
will not only lose the advantages that
such gathering is sure to bring. but
we will incur the disgrace of falling to
meet our engagements. We are conf
dent that we have only to call the at
tention OF our business men to the ne
cessity for prompt action in this matter
to assure the raising of the fund within
the necessary time. Remember that
$1,000 must be guaranteed by the end of
this month, 25 per cent of the subscrip-
tons to I've paid on or before the LIST of
January. and the balance as needed and
called for.

ten days, 1t is said, he will relish his diet

Was jeff
Davis q
Citizen?


Minneapolis lawyer. The question Is
an interesting one, and yet its discus
sion is hardly profitable. Congress
never removed MIR. DAVIS disabilities,
and yet it is question whether his dis
abilities disqualified him from the en-
joyment of every right of citizenship
guaranteed by the constitution, except
that of holding a federal Office. The SUI
preme court has affirmed that ''no eiti-
zen of the United States can be de-
priyed of any personal or political right
without due process of law. nor can any
person be held guilty of any crime
whatsoever or become liable to any
pains or penalties, under any circum-
stances, except after trial and convic-
ton by court of competent jurisdie-
tion." JEFFERSON DAVIS was indicted
for treason. but not tried and con-
victed. He was virtually acquitted of
the charge when the government en-
tered a nolle prosequi. So far as the
record shows, there is nothing to indi-
cate that Mr.. DAVIS ever ceased to be a
citizen of the United States.

TOPICAL TALK.

Debauching M. N. JoHNsoN's
open letter to Senator
Elections. PIERCE does not smack
of tine flavor of states
manship that one would expect to come
from man who aspired to be senator;
yet it is spicy, and cuts like two-edged
sword The only things it contains of
interest to those outside of Dakota
politics are two startling statements.
one to the effect that he was offered a
$4,000 consulship and s25.OJO in spot
cash to draw out Of the senatorial race
at Bismarck, and the other that rail-
way attorney visited his room at
O'Clock In the morning, when it was
supposed that JOHNSON would be SEN
atar, and begged him to let his railroad
company have the naming of the district
judge for tile district of North Dakota.
Such statements are absolutely appall-
ing, as they show the depths of political
corruption to which the country is de-
scending. The turnpike road of bribery
is paved with the bones of dead
republics whose glory was laid in the
same pit that their avarice had made.
What assurances have we that our re-
public will not go the way of all the
Others If we adopt their vicious prae-
tees? The masses are unconscious of d
the dangerous extent of venality and
corruption in public affairs. Mr.. JOHN
SON has done good service in exposing
the Bismarck senatorial deal. and will
perform yet more useful service If he
will make public all the details. If the
North Dakota laws provide punish
ment for bribery, this is time when
law should be called into active play.
Unless the fountain sources are kept
pure the whole stream will be corrupted. /
The cleansing process must begin some
where, and if Mr.. JOHNSON has an
ambition to become public benefaetor
he surely has the opportunity.
