Comments of the State Press.

Albert Lea Standard: 1t is admitted
by all who are well-informed and I'M
biased, that if an ele on for United
States Senator was he'd now by legis-
lature of this state, Hon. ID. M. Sabin
would be chosen. The reaction against
Senator Washburn and in favor of Mr..
Sabin is widespread, pronounced and
remarkable. We do not approve of the
assaults that have been made upon Sena-
tor Washburn; we insist that he has not
yet had a fair trial, and on the other
hand it must be admitted that Mr.. Sa-
-btn is a much better man than his OPP
ponents, in their fervor, have represent
ed HIM to be. A man cannot be deserv-
ing of the contumely which he has re-
ceived and yet possess such host of
honorable and devoted friends as does
Mr.. Sabin. The Standard in good faith
opposed his reelection, but it hopes
again to see glad fortune generously
favor and smile upon him.
St. Peter Herald The famous Brown
Sequard elixir oflife is proving failure.
About the only rejuvenating elixir ever
used with good success is a life irregular
habits, plain steady diet and the exer-
else of a temperate indulgence in all
things coupled with an abundance of
fresh air and q proper amount OF eXer-
else. A careful application of this form
MIA is apt to be attended with good re-
suits.
Jackson Republic: The st. Paul Herald
saws that Editor Eric Olson, of the
Farmers Alliance, is editing threshing
machine IN the southern part of the
state. That is more useful work than
Eric usually does.
Duluth Neacs: 1t is true to certain
extent that St. Paul and Minneapolis
grew up and were developed under a
system of dependence on Chicago rail-
way lines, but the most powerful factor
in the growth of those two cities, aside
from the general development of the
Northwest, was the outrageous discriml-
nation of the Northwestern railway
lines, whereby the advantages accrulng
from the northern water route were for
many years stolen from Duluth and CIV
en- to the Twin Cities.
st. Paul Dispatch: 1t is no longer ne
cessary to encourage immigration of any
kind and it certainly is not necessary to
allow further importation of vicious ig-
norance. Time was when this land
needed an influx of population greater
than the natural laws of increase could
produce, but that time is past. Many
parts ofthe country are already suffer-
ing from the evils of oyerpopulation.

1T has been popular impression in
this country that English laws are more
iron-clad in their character than our owr
and that verdicts once delivered are
difficult to get around. Thus, when
Mrs. Maybrick was convicted and sen.
fenced, many were wont to say, "well
sentiment won't save her neck as il
would in America" But 1t appears the
woman's sentence has been committed
to imprisonment for life, and 1t IS stated
that there never has been any prob
ability that she would hang, as there i.
a deep popular feeling in that country
against the execution of females.

THE press reporters at Washington are
having lots of amusement with the
country constituency" in sending news
broadcast that the appointment of Fred
Douglass, as minister to Haytl, is to be
cancelled and white man is to be APP
pointed. The country recognizes in
Fred Douglas a man with character as
pure as any mans and the color of his
skin is not going to relieve the Presi-
dent from the responsibility of sticking
to his original selection.

SOME complaints about the conduct of
the st. Peter insane hospital caused Sec
rotary Hart, of the board of corrections
and charities, and another member, to
make the institution an informal
visit, and that without sending word a.
head that they were coming. They
arrived at the institution just at meal
time, and in the dining room they visited
found the patients eating boiled
dinner, bread without butter, and no
dessert, and cold drink. AT another
table in the same room the attendants
were faring considerably better, having
butter, with their bread, several kinds OF
drink, and strawberry short cake. The
secretary's opinion that the patients
and attendants should fare alike, will
meet with the hearty approval of the peo-
pie of the State. There Is also strong
desire among the people to know the
truth in regard to the inside workings Of
these institutions. They are becoming
dissatisfied. with the methods of investig.
alton which give the institutions warnings
of the fact that they are to be visited, and
opportunity to put everything in order
Let us have more of the unexpected Wis
it's, such as mentioned in the foregoing
and let us have plain and truthful &C,
count of these visit. These are the peo'
Plies institutions, erected as an out
growth of their spirit of charity and 6
desire to care for the unfortunate. The
people have right to know how they
are being conducted; the people want
to know, and are wronged by any system
that keeps them from knowing.-Litch

THE Minneapolis Journal suggests that
President Harrison ought, to have been
invited to extend his present trip in the
west so as to take in that city. 1t is
doubtful il he could have been induced
at this time to take such a long journey,
but We trust that before his term expir-
es the President will take ride up this
way, take in the magnificent country
and get personally acquainted with the
people who aided so materially to elect
him president.

Ex-senator d. NJ. Sabin, of Saltwater,
arrived in Winona, registered at the
Jewel, and asked for the best accomo-
dations to be had. His valise had miss

come without it. The hotel man asked
where his baggage was, that he might
send it to his room, and on being told
he had none. shrugged his shoulders,
rubbed his hands together, and gently
suggested that the gentleman had bet
ter pay in advance. And now mine

THE announcement of the death

HE announcement or the death Oh
Judge Levi M. Villas comes to the read.
ing public not wholly unexpected, as his
serious illness for several months had
seemed to foreshadow dissolution, but
the termination of his life will neverthe.
less cause feeling of sorrow to pervade
the hearts of all who knew him. The
Judge was appointed to preside over
the district court of Ramsey county by
Gov. Merriam in February last, and the
selection was generally commended as
being one of exceptional merit. He
died at the home of his mother in Madi-
son, Wis, Sunday of inflammation OF
the kidneys. The funeral occurred
from the residence in Madison Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, and the remains
were laid beside his distinguished
father in Madison cemetery.
Judge Villas was born at Chelsea, VT,
on Feb. IL, 1S41. His father, the late
Judge Levi b. Villas, moved West with his
family when Levi was ten years old and
settled in Madison. There he grew up
and was educated, graduating in 1853
from the state university. A year later
he was admitted to practice law in the
courts of Wisconsin and New York, hav-
ing graduated from the Albany Law
school in 1864. He located at Eau
Claire, Wis, in 1858, and practiced law
in that state for nineteen years. He was
the first city attorney of Eau Claire, and
became mayor of the city three times.
In June, 1867, he removed to st. Paul,
and at once obtained a large practice.
While in Wisconsin he was regarded as
one of the ablest lawyers in that state,
and has more than once been suggested
for the supreme bench. Not few be-
lieve him to be an ADLER LAWYER than his
brother, the ex-secretary. Feb. Is, 1888
he was appointed by Gov. Merriam to
one of the new district judgships, which
had Just been created by the legislature.
He was Democrat, but not politician.
He was twice married-first in 1869 to
Miss Ella Singer, who died ten years
latter, and again Oct. rs, 1885, to Mrs.
Lizzie Stewart Ludlow of Chicago. He
leaves three daughters by his first wife,
whose ages range from eleven to nine
teen years, and three year-old daugh-
ter by his second wife.

good purpose. The thing for the pco-
pie to do is to look out for the bad ones,
see that they do not get intrenched
within the legislative halls, and give
them whack whenever possible by re-
fuslng to use the trust made articles.
Meanwhile, some natural cause will ar
Use sooner or later against which the

LONDON is PARALYzED

All Communication with the World
as Completely Shut Off as If
There Were No Thames.
Mutterings OF Discomfort Heard In All
Lines Of Trade, and the End Is
Not Yet.

LONDON, Aug. 27.-London is an in.
land town and promises to remain such
for some time to come. All communi.
cation with the rest of the world by
water is as completely cut off as though
the Thames had dried up and been
turned into garden farm. The great
ships lying at the docks can neither load
nor discharge their cargoes, and the inn
mense traffic of the greatest commercial
city of the world lies at the mercy Of the
men commercially rated at dollar Q
day. Up to this time the strikes
of the dock laborers have been
regarded by the London populace, not
indeed without interest, but with that
languid concern which is felt in affairs
which concern other people and not our
selves. But this is all over and now tha
strike and its consequences touch every
man, woman and child in this great
city.
MEAT SUPPLY SHUT OFF.
No meat arrived in London Monday.

The electric light companies were
filled with orders from commercial
houses who sought to avert such Ca
lamity, and they have largely increased
their force. So far the gas stokers re-

what moment they may stop. Although
the strikes SO far include only q few ins

LOUD MUTTERINGs OF Discomfort.
The truth is that the workmen have
been taught by the dock laborers what
an immense power they hold in their
hands, and they are anxious to exercise
it if only to show their masters that they

a week ago there was no thought Of @

to submit their case to the hands Of
third parties for decision, The commit
tee of the striking dock laborers have
been appealed to by the owners Of large
quantities of perishable property on
board vessels at the docks, to permit
such articles to be unloaded. The COM
mittee, to this request, gave peremp-
tory refusal. On account of the strike
