STRETCHING a POINT.

The territory of Idaho has adopted
state constitution, and claims pOpula-
ton that has not been exceeded in num-
Der in more than three or four new
states. In the effort to exclude its Nor
mon settlers from any participation in
the government, if it is admitted as a
state, provisions have been put in the
constitution that are radical and dam
gerOus. and conflict with the cOnstitu-
ton of the United States. ANY person
supposed to be Mormon. presenting
ballot, is required to take the oath OF the
EdmundS bill abjuring pOlygamy.
and still he will not be allowed to vote.
He is to be put on probation two years,
and at the expiration of che time, If he
still wants to cast his ballot, he must
present evidence satisfactory to the hos
tile judges that he has not lived in
pOlygamy. This is palpable invasion
of religious freedom. 1t is going be-
yond the Edmunds bill or the authority
Of any government in this country.
There is no right to inquire as to mans
religious faith. The voter has the
same right to believe in JOE SMITH and
the Mormon creed as Citizen and Voter
ROBERT INGERSOLL has to disbelieve
in any religion. Some MOrmOns be-
lieve in pOlygamy, and some do not.
There is a growing element of them
that diScardS the social mOnStrOSity OF
the patriarchs. Congress has outlawed
the practice, and those who live in its
multiplied relations. The Idaho people
could follow in the steps of congress In
this matter. but they must not ask the
voter what religious theories he holds.
1t is the criminal practice alone that is
a matter of investigation. There IS in
finitely more danger in trenching upon
the rights of religious freedom than
there is III the development of Mormon
ism. The idea of allowing a man to
take the oath and then refusing him
the right to vote looks farcical and an
aggraVatiOn. 1t is not likely that any
state coming with such provisions VIII
be allowed admission, even if the Oh
ject sought in the ostracism is com

WHITE HOUSE COOKING.

Great and wealthy people, and those
who bask high in the sunlight of emf
nent station, have their vexatiOnS as
well as the common herd. WILLIAM
K. VANDERBILT has had a ructiOn
with his $4,000 cook visible to the pop
ular optics Just what is the cause of the
unpleaSantneSS is not matter of much
concern, as he is not a servant of the
people. His father, who was less re-
hgiOus, perhaps, used to leave a place
for dashes as he thought of them. In
the other case there is a lawsuit. When
HARRISON had eliminated the colored
forces about the White house, he hired
the cook that had done service for Lord
SACKVILLE. Her dreams of culinary
felicity do not seem to have been real
lied. Her kitchen cabinet was not of
the historic kind. Her grievance,
as shown by affidavit, appears to
have grown out of parSimoniOuS
and pOrcine regulations. Her pay
was to be cut when some of
the family were absent, but stress
was laid upon the required menu. She
says l. all lllCO vi COOhluS nam anu
eggs. 1t is ham and eggs, eggs and
ham morning, noon and night" The
delicate StomachS of the serving corps
revolted and could not find satisfaction,
she alleges. Still, very little sympathy
arises over the allegation. Ham and
eggs is pretty substantial diet, and un-
less it is shown that it caused indiges-
ton and acidity in the presidential
economy, with consequent repellant
humor toward the people pressing upon
him offers of official service, it may be
insisted upon as personal right. 1t is
true that policies of nations and the
veal of multitudes have been affected
by the condition of the governmental
stomach; but,regardless of politics, there
should be popular vindicatiOn of the
right of the president to eat ham and
eggs three times day and to feed all his
domestic hirelings on the same diet.

ADULTEI,ATED FOOD.

What are we eating? And why are
we eating it? These questions are sug-
gessted by DR.. DREw's report to the
state dairy commission, a synopsis of
which was published in Yesterdays
GLOBE. Of the numerous articles of
food sold in the Minneapolis market, as
submitted to chemical analysis by the
department chemist of the state dairy
and food commission, the only unadul-
terated articles were cheese, whisky
and wine. All the others, including
milk, baking powler, lard, vinegar,
cream of tartar and olive oil, were adul-
terated, and some of them the most vii
famous compounds. OF twenty-three
samples of what sold for cream of tar
tar obtained from different retail gro
GERS only two contained cream of
tartar at all; the others were the
verieSt frauds, being a mixture of
alum, calcium phosphate, sulphate of
lime and tartaric acid. All of these in
gradients are detrimental to health.
The same kind of stuff that IS being sold
in Minneapolis is probably being sold
here in St. Paul and in every other city;
and yet customers gOright along buying
it, in blissful ignorance that there is
disease and probably death in every loaf
OF bread that is eaten. DR.. DREW re-
ports that nearly so per cent of the
dairy product is adulterated. and more
or less adulteration enters into every
important article of food sold in our
markets. The wisdom of the law pro-
hiblting the sale of adulterated food
in this state is thus indicated,
and we hope to see the COM
mission charged with its execution give
it a most rigid enforcement. 1t is not
the fault of the retail dealers that these
adul.erated articles are on the market.
for in most instances they have bought
them without knowing that they were
adulterated. However, they can pro-
tect themselves in the future by sub
hitting samples to the department chem
ist for analysis before buying, and in
this way will be able to shut out the
manufacturers of these adulterated
articles. The manufacturers of these
fraudulent products are the ones who
should suffer.

sUBJUGATED RoYALIsrs.

Senatorial dignity never had such
backset as it got when it ran afOul of
the noble house of lords who control the
Chicago beef market. 1t has always
been the fashion of senatorial inveSti-
eating committee to assume the dignity
and authority of a Roman centurion,
and the right to do so was never dis
puted until the last day or two, when
Senator VESTS committee undertook
to question the owners of the Chicago
stock yards concerning their method of
operating the dressed-beef. monopoly.
The quality OF Chicago nobility is Pc
culiar anyway. and in this instance
Prince ARMOUR and the noble dukes
ana lords who are associated with him
in the stock yards were nettled by the
presumption of small concern like the
United States government undertaking
to inquire into the affairs of their vast
principality. When polite invitation
was sent to them to appear before the
senate committee, then in session at the
Grand Pacific, and unfold the secrets of
their monopoly. a sneer was the only
response they gave it. A second, third

other. ''Drive those profane dogs from
our capital" was the only recognition
the Chicago nOblemen gave of the pres
ence of the senate committee in their
city. But when at last a sergeantat-
arms of the senate knocked at the gates
of the royal palace. with the announce
ment that he held IN his hands writ of
attachment for the arrest of each of the
royal personages who had disobeyed the
command of the senate committee, they
began to realize that the star-Spangled
banner was indeed symbol of power,
and that the United States government
had some rights which even the beef
kings of Chicago must respect. In
other words, they climbed down with
the rapidity of Uncle PoMPEY's coon,

WEATHER TALK.

If you hear any remarks about the
change of weather, just pass them by.
People will talk; they must have some
thing to talk about; and the weather
is Just as innocent subject as they
could select. Still, neuraIgics, rheumat-
les and hypOchondriacs are privileged
classes so far as the weather is con-
cerned: and If they want to talk to you
on that subject, give them a listening
ear. You will learn from them that
there has never been such changeable
season as this within the recollection of
the oldest man, nor season when the
changes were so severe and sudden. If
you heard that remarked once yester-
day, you heard it fifty times. Shudder-
ing men and women stopped on the
street to repeat it to each other; it was
spoken over the desks in the counting
room by men with chattering teeth; it
was whispered around in places of pub
lie assembly, and every one believed
he was speaking the truth. And yet
those same people said the same things
last year, and will be repeating the
same remarks next season. Weather
grumbling is the chronic complaint of

in thousand who can tell by the taste
the difference in tomatoes. They are
all good, and they all have the same
flavor. Some are bigger than others,
some are richer-colored, some are
smoother, but when they are sliced up
in a dish together, with salt and pepper
and vinegar over them, Uncle JERRY
RUsK's most expert horticulturist
couldn't distinguish the different
varieties, Still, the profundity of
Uncle JERRY'S tomato knowledge
is something wonderful. The ag-
ricultural departments investigations
have led to the additional discovery that
half century ago tomatoes were not
tomatoes. They were only Jerusalem
apples, which grew wild; and their only
domestic use was to be plucked and set
on the mantels for ornaments. Although
at very considerable outlay the gov
eminent, through Secretary RUSK's
eXertions, has thus given an additional
demonstration of the progress of modern
civilization, the main fact of scientific
value brought out in this tomato in
vestigationis that the tempting fruit of
the tomato plant does not contain as
much calOmel as has been thought, and
hereafter saliyated humanity cannot
charge up Its Affections to the inno-
cent tomato. The question of whether
or not the tomato is generator of can
GERS is still undetermined, but all the
resources of the agricultural depart
ment are being brought to bear upon
this investigation, and if succeeding
congresses are generous enough in plac-
ing the surplus at Uncle JERRY's dis
posaI, the problem will possibly be
solved by the close of this administra-
tiOn

COMMON PROHIBITIONS.

The constitution of the state of Wash
ington prohibits lotteries. as is the COM
mon practice OF the states, by cOnstitu-
ton or legislature. OF course this is
not designed to give the Louisiana in
stItutiOn a monopoly, but it is better
than a trust or a protective tariff, as the
million dollars q month going there
shows. The constitution also forbids
the legislature from granting divorces
from marriage, which is sometimes re-
ferred to as a lottery. If the courts
were denied this privilege also, it would
be an advance on the common way. A
special effort is made to prevent officials
from receiving favOrs from railroads in
the way of passes or low transportation.
This includes the members of the legis-
lature, and it is left with that body to
fix the penalties for violation of the pro-
vision. Perhaps they will have differ
ent grade of legislators from any other
state, but in regions less scrupulous
the roads would never be loaded with
the disbursements from the pockets of
the legislators.

THE AUGUST RECORD.

Last month was notable in one re-
spect. For the first time since the war
the month of August shows an increase
of the public debt of million and a
halt of dollars. This is all the more
notable that it occurred under an ad-
ministration which came Into power
with the promise OF economy on its lips.
Like its civil service promises, it
was made to the ear only to be broken
to.the hope. There can be no economy
under an administration that tolerates
the extravaganza of TANNER. With
the surplus wiped out, and the debt
piling up at the rate of million and
half dollars a month. as the record for
the first six months of the HARRISON
administration, what will be the condi-
ton of the treasury at the expiration of
the last six months of this administra-
ton? This is question that deserves
a special cabinet meeting to consider.

The TOMATO INVESTIGATION.

Uncle JERRY RUsK is not lazy man.
he still keeps up his farm habits of
rising at 6 o'clock in the morning, OF re-
firing with the birds, and of putting
tallow on his boots. A man of his in
duStriOus and methOdical ways can't be
idle, even though he is at the head of
department where there is nothing to
do. For lack of better employment, he
has recently been investigating tomato
culture, and has made the remarkable
discovery that there are eighty varieties
of the tomato. This is an interesting
fact, and yet we are unable to see the
particular value of the discovery. 1t
cost the government good many dol
lars to make this discovery; and
yet. beyond affording qualification
to the curious, we fail to see
where the government or the people
are going to get return on the ex-
penditure. With the exception of the
garden-seed dealers, there is no one to
be benefited by the knowledge that
Uncle JERRY has acquired at such
heavy expense. There isn't one person

Robert Ray HamiitOn's wife"
Breaks Down.

NEW YORK, Sept. At was the COM
mon opinion in the clubs and down town
to-day that the brig htest thing Robert
Ray Hamilton has done of late was to
''place himself in the hands of his
Enthusiastically of his legal friends.
When his troubles were first made
public, some of his old associates
went Immediately to Atlantic City
to help him out of the Scrape. To
their surprise Mr.. Hamilton refused to
see them for some time. But at length
he seemed to come to the conclusion
that his alleged wife was not all his
Imagination pictured her to be, and
that possibly he had made more or less
of a fool of himself. Then he consult
ed the law firm of Root % Clarke, and
let his friends gather about him, In
an interview to-day, Mr.. Clarke said the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Hamil-
ton would certainly be made void. He
had no doubt personally of being able
to prove that the woman bad been
married to Mann. Mr.. Clarke said that
Mr.. Hamilton would not aid the woman
in the trial for assault, but would
leave her to look out for herself. The
charges under which she could be held
and be punished outside the assault
were many, said the counsel. In the
first place, the substitution of the child
came under section Isl of the penal code
where the punishment for
CONTEMPLATING AN HEIRESS
was not less than ten years in states
prison. The crime of larceny could also
be established against the woman, and
both Mrs. SwintOn and Mann could be
held as accessories. Bigamy, too, could
be proved against her, and the other two
were evidently accessories to that
crime. Inspector Byrnes had Mrs.
Swinton and Mann before him more
than an hour to-day. OF what went on
there he would not say word,
but he remarked later: 81 know the
mother of that baby. 1t Is not Mrs.
Hamilton l know where she lives
and can get her. know also its father.
He is not Robert Ray Hamilton"
Later on the pair we're arraigned in the
TombS police court and remanded until
Friday. Mr.. Hamilton is stopping in
New York with his friend, Charles A.
Peabody.
MRS. HAMILTON" BREAKS DOWN.
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Sept. A.
When Mrs. Hamilton was informed of
the arrest of Mrs. Swinton and Joshua
Mann on the charge of conspiracy in
palming off on Mr.. Hamilton as
his own offspring baby that had been
bought for the purpose, she hercely de-
claimed against Mr.. Hamilton's friend
and asserted that they had concocts
ed this story to ALLEVIATE her hus-
band from her. Subsequently she
calmed down, and upon learning that
her confederates had made a confession
broke down completely, and throw
ing herself upon her bed moaned
and sObbed for two hours.
Then she suddenly started up
and demanded writing materials.
Page after page was quickly filled and
as quickly destroyed. Finally she re
turned to her bed, where she Frustrated
herself and apparently was in a condi-
ton of utter nervous exhaustion.

of sensational case of regulating"
were made public to-day and caused
great excitement in this city. T. B.
Richardson. of Sandstone. so repol t goes,
had become too intimate with his wife's
hired girl, resulting in his arrest. He
settled with the girl and she became a
mother in his own house. ALI the par
ties lived at Sandstone in one house
until few days ago when Richardson
was suddenly warned by the people to
leave the town, which he did, leaving
his wife but taking the girl. They went
to Rice Lake. Kanabec county, a
country, settlement twenty miles
from here, to the former home
midnight some sixty people of the set
Element, knowing of their haSty trip
from Sandstone and the cause, swooped
down upon them. The mob dragged
Richardson In his night clothes dis
lance of mile or so, whipping him all
the way. Then the regulators treated
him to generous coat of tar and
feathers, using two buckets of tar and
the contents of two pillows. After this
had been done Richardson was warned
to leave that commur ity at once, which
he did. Mary Frendine, the girl in the
case, was badly scared. There were
number of Indians in the settlement,
and when they learned of Richardson's
experience they fled to the woods.
Richardson is general merchant at
Sandstone, and formerly kept small
store at Rice Lake. His wife has the
sympathy of all. He has quite family
and very limited means.
