THE GARNIsHMENT LAW.

The Lucas lien law, as applied to gar
nishment of wages, has been found un-
constitutional by the courts. The law
was based upon the theory that if a
mans homestead should be exempt
from attachment mans daily wages
should be also exempt, as the majority
of workingmen do not own their homes,
and their daily wages are necessary for
existence. This law, which practically
abolished the act of garnisbment as ap-
piled to workingmen, was taken adj
vantage of by too many to escape the
payment of just debts to prove salts
factory. At all events, it has been de-
clared unconstitutional, and the old gar
nishment law, which eXempts $40 of
wages from attachment, is in force. Now
1t is proposed to exempt three months
wages. This seems to be impracticable
and undesirable, as the limit should be
placed upon the amount that is neces-
sary to secure reasonable protection to
the debtor, not upon the time in which
he may earn much or little. The mat
ter is an important one, affecting both
merchants and workingmen, and
should be given more thorough and
general consideration than it appears to
be receiving.

much expression by Miss Julia May,

audience. Miss Nellie Mowry at

RELlEV ED THEMsELvEs

A. T. Ankeny-I think perhaps that
mistake has been made, as & GLOBE
correspondent claims. in providing too
large school houses for sparsely settled
portions of the city. Still, it is not an
easy matter to decide always just
what provision should be made for a
growing city like this. Another thing
it costs but little more to uild three
story school house than two-story one.
and this often looks like extravaganza
when it is really not. However, think
the best plan is to build for present
needs. and have the buildings so con-
structed that additions can be made as
more room is required.
j. P. McGaughey-I sometimes doubt
the policy Of inviting the clergy
and others to speak in behalf
of the shortening of the hours
of labor. Where there is so much talk
confusion of ideas always arises. What
the workingmen should do is simply to
refuse to work more than eight hours.
That's all they have got to do.
Ace p. Abell-I mean to maintain
what dignity belongs to my court even
if il be only ten dollars worth.
The Aberdeen Paragrapher-Is this
cold enough for you?

THE LAW Is NEEDED.

A case that forcibIy illustrates the
need of law prohibiting the sale of to-
bacco to boys is related in another col
umn. A man who has been selling Gig
arettes to school children threatens to
sue police officer and principal of
school because they attempted to pre-
vent boys from visiting his place, where
they purchased the cigarettes and
smoked them, upon the ground that
his business had been damaged.
The case is not a remarkable
one, bnt is particularly applica-
BILE to the situation as showing
the want of law which will allow the
exercise of some authority to restrain a
pernicious practice. The sight of boys
who are so young that they can hardly
talk plainly, smoking the deadly cigar
ette,ha become so common as to create
but little comment, too little, by far.
The terrible effect of tobacco upon
children especially does not need to be
pointed out, but the argument has been
used that it will do no good to pass
prohibitory law; that "boys will be
boys" etc; and the case cited admira-
bly, serves to show that law is really
needed

Sheriff Ege Tells the Barrett
When They Are to Hang.


When They Are to Hang.
The Barrett boys were officially In
formed by Sheriff Eye at II O'clock yes
terday morning that the date of their
execution had been fixed. AS the sheriff
drew the papers from his pocket the
two murderers smiled sarcastically. and
Tim remarked:
Say. Jim, we were informed of this
yesterday afternoon by a GLOBE re-
porter"
The reading of the documents lasted
about 10 minutes, and were listened to
by the boys in careless manner.
When the sheriff was preparing toleave
Pete broke out:
"Well, l would just as soon be hanged
as to remain in jail much longer"
The cells were cleared out again yes
terday morning, and the boys dressed
in new clothing. In all probability the
hanging will take place in the big room
constituting the city side of the jail.

AN EXCEPTION,
A Young Woman Pleads Guilty to
Vagrancy.

Jennie Clark, a well-dressed, good
looking young woman about twenty
five years of age, pleaded guilty to
being vagrant in the municipal court
yesterday morning. She had come over
from st. Paul the night before with a
friend, she explained, and at supper
drank glass of milk and Immediately
lost consciousness. She did not know
how long she remained so, but on
awakening found herself in a Chinese
laundry on First avenue south. The
officers said she had also been put out
of the Union depot for promiscuous beg
ging and:she was found later wander
ing about the streets with her clothing
disarIanged, when it was thought best
to lock her up. She is one of the very
few women ever charged with vagrancy
in that court, for it seldom happens
that woman is so improvident as to
have no regular stopping place. The
fine was $50 or sixty days in the work
house. "Please don't send me to the
workhouse, Judge; send me to the
Good Shepherds, please" she pleaded,
but the court can not commit to that
place and she went to the workhouse.
