STATE ELECTIONS,

Elections will be held in nine states, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mis- sissippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, next Tues day. The contests in New Jersey, New York and Virginia will be of unusual interest. In New York, the legislative contest nearly monopolizes attention in New Jersey, the struggle between Abbett and Grubb for the governorship is very sharp; in Virninia, Malone is endeavoring, in all manner of means, to capture the state. In Iowa there is dis satisfaction over the republican nomina- tion for governor and the democrats have a chance to win. In Massachu- setts, also, the democrats have a fight ing chance, owing to republican dissen- sions over the liquor and tariff questions. In Ohio, Foraker is the target and he will be hit hard and often.
 SHOULD WIVES WORK.
 Whether or not wife should work for money, is an interesting question, but, like many others,i cannot be decid- ed on general principles. A woman, whether married or single, has a moral as well as legal right to earn money. If woman's husband is unable to SUD- port her, it is her duty, if she is compe- tent, to earn money for herself and him. If he can support her, but will not, then necessity certainly justifies the effort.
 Considering the question, however from the ground of industrial competi. should generally become wage-earners It is just neither to men who support families nor to single women forced tc care for themselves. Marriage presup poses the support of the wife by the hus band. Marriage is regarded as com pact, where mutual interest makes on, the provider and the other the home maker. Though the wives of well-to-de and wealthy men can earn money, and in so doing can break no law on the stat ute books, they certainly infringe upo1 that larger law relating to the good O. many. While industry among wome, is admirable, and the independence O. the modern girl most praiseworthy, ye it does not seem fair that wives ant daughters of rich men should absorb tn places needed by poor women and girls.
 The well-to-do married woman earn ing money, the girl who lives at hom and may use her earnings as she will ,cal afford to underbid the women who mus work, this reduces the wages of work ing women, and discriminates agains them in favor of those having husband and fathers. Taking one consideration with another, it would appear to b more to the general good if marriage were contracted in the old-fashione, way. A man should expect to suppor his wife. A woman should marry col tent with the best her husband can d. for her.

HOME rule in cities is one of the things the democrats are fighting for in Ohio.
 Many of the cities there are now practi- cally ruled by the governor, which makes it almost impossible to secure good government. In Connecticut, under the republican system, the cities are ruled by the legislature. In both they are made the footballs for republi- can politicians. Home rule is good thing to fight for, but it will never be secured in Connecticut cities until the legislature is taken away from the re- publicans. The republicans of Connecti- cut are opposed to popular rights they favor only the rights of republican poll
 ticians. And with these might is right.

REPRESENTATIVE CANNON, candidate for speaker of the house, has lived in a boarding house in Washington with his family for several years. Anxious to add little more style to his establish ment, he recently applied to the land lord of one of the new family hotels. There are four members of Cannon's family and he did not want large suite. "It will cost you S900 month";" said the proprietor, as though conferring great favor. ''I make $416,65 month";" re- marked Cannon laconically. Negotia- tions ceased.

MINNEAPOLIS STREET CARS.
The Company Makes Weak Effort tc

The Company Makes a Weak Effort to
Resume Traffic.
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, April 1.-THE
street car company made its long deferred
effort to start it's cars this morning. Seventy
five men, all the company has succeeded in
hiring, were divided among the three lines,
and at o'clock the cars were started, loaded
with policemen. There we're large crowds
jeering at the new men, but no serious dis
turbance occurred. The police arrange
ments were perfect. There were several
arrests. The strikers, however, have per-
suaded about third Of the new men to quit
and it looks doubtful whether the%ompany
eau get enough men to operate its lines.
SEVERAL CLASHES.
Although the street car company sue
ceeded in running some cars over the most
of its lines to-day, the strike is not by any
means over Several ''brushes" occurred
between the strikers and their
mob on Washington avenue was
the hardest to handle. 1t would be
scattered in one place only to gather in an
other. Many arrests were made. This
afternoon a Bloomington avenue car going
north was boarded by Il number Of men.
The police were forced off.
PACKED WITH MEN,
1t gathered others as it proceeded, and
when it reached Hennepin avenue it was
packed, many on the top. The driver be
came excited, and the car was run Off the
track several times. 1t was finally started
for the shops about two blocks away. A
small riot followed on its arrival
there. After some savage club
bling by an officer and with
the assistance of Office employees, President
Lowry lent hand, and the car was housed,
but not before it was badly wrecked. An
attempt TO effect a settlement Of the differ
ences between the company and strikers
this afternoon was a failure. The police
fear serious trouble tonight.
NO CARS AT ST. PAUL.
ST. PAUL, MINI, April 1.-THE street
car strike situation has been unchanged here
to-day, no cars running but hundreds of
people walking. An attempt to start tn o
cars will be made in the morning.

ARRIVAL OF THE DENMARK.
No News of the Missing Danmark or
Her Human Freight.

New YORK, April 1.-THE British
steamer Denmark. from Liverpool. which
it was hoped would bring some tidings of
the passengers of the Danish steamer Dan
mark, has arrived below. She has none of
the Danmark's passengers.
Considerable excitement was caused in
the lower part OF the city this morning by
a report that Vesey street firm in the
foreign fruit business had been informed
that some vessel in the foreign fruit trade
had picked up the crew and passengers of
the abandoned steamship Danmark. The
story was that man named Strauss had
received a cablegram to that effect but the
only member of the foreign fruit exchange
who owns that name has received no infor-
nation on the subject. Further investiga-
ton develops the probability that the rumor
grew out of an opinion expressed among
fruit men yesterday to the effect that the
Alsatia of the Anchor Lane, reported as
leaving the Rock of Gibralta on April l.
was more than likely to have fallen in with
the Danmark or her boats. The Alsatia
carries fruit from Mediterranean ports, and
if by any good fortune she picked up the
passengers or crew of the abandoned
steamer, she is large enough to give them
accommodation. She Is due at this port at
any moment, and her arrival is anxiously
awaited
NO NEWS PER THE RICHMOND.
The steamship City of Richmond of the
Inman Line, which arrived from Liverpool
this morning brought no news Of the i'll
fated steamer Danmark. The officers of
the City of Richmond did not see any
wreckage of the Danmark and did not hear
anything of the reported loss until told by
a pilot off Sandy Hook. The City of Rich
mond brought 427 immigrants.
