COPYRIGHT LEGISLATION.

Should brains be protected? This is
the most important protection problem
with which congress has to deal, and it
has come before that body in the shape
OF an international copyright bill which
doesn't seem to meet with much favor
from that freaky body Of statesmen,
who hold a sheep to be of higher i'm
portance than human intellect.
Free trade in artificial products is an
entirely different thing from free trade
in brains, but the Fifty-first congress
doesn't seem to be able to distinguish
the difference. Men who can spend
weeks in fixing schedule of
duties On eggs can hardly be expected
to represent that caliber of states
manship which looks to the pres
ervation of international honesty and
literary honor. The only argument
that was used against the bill in the
house was that it was cheaper to steal
books than to buy them; but this argu-
ment was all-prevailing with a body
which is giving its whole attention to
the continuation of tariff policy
which robS one man to enrich another.
The defeat of the international copy
right bill was to be expected of body
that would pass the MCKINLEY tariff
bill. The action in one case was in
keeping with the action of congress in
the other. Both were founded on the
Rob Roy principle of ''Let him take who
may and let him hold who cam"
The copyright bill that the house re-
fused to pass was a measure for which
honest and intelligent Americans have
been laboring for fifty years. The
crime of book piracy is the most gen.
eral and the most disgraceful vice of the
age. A single Illustration will show to
what extent this piracy is practlced by
American publishers. The compilers of
the Encyclopedia Britannica expended
$3,000,0J0 in preparing the work, yet the
American pirates have scissored out
an Americanized edition, comparatively
worthless though it may be, which they
are supplying the country newspapers
at nominal price. to be used for adj
Vertising purposes, just as cheap chro-
mos and free concert tickets are used.
If we have any sense of national honor
it is about time we were making a show
of it. 1t is time that an end were put to
the depredations of book pirates. Men
of brains in all countries have some
rights which our laws should respect.
There will be an effort made to bring
up the copyright bill again. Its adyo-
Gates are determined to keep the matter
before congress and before the country
until the public conscience is awakened
to the necessity for proper legislation in
this direction. The measure is Demo-
cratic and honest, so it is bound to win
IN the long run.

CITIZENS AND STRIKERS.
Futile Attempt to Run Street Cars
in Columbus.


COLUMBUS, o., June 1.-Everything
is quiet in the street car strike tonight.
No attempts have been made to run
cars since 2 o'clock this afternoon.
None of the company's officials have
put in an appearance at the street car
headquarters tonight. and nothing
can be learned as to what steps
will be taken tomorrow. The company
made another effort to start cars this
morning at 10 O'Clock, and the results
and scenes enacted were similar to
those of Monday. The cars had pro-
ceeded but a few squares when thou
sands had gathered, and the tracks were
blocked with stone and rubbish. One of
the new employees was driven off bv
threats of arrest for receiving money
under false pretenses. He had been
bought off by the strikers. The women
took big hand in stopping cars. The
mayor was present and ordered the ar
rest of two citizens who were blocking
the tracks. The situation was threaten
ing, but no one was injured. The en-
plOyes at some of the leading manu-
factories closed down and turned out as
soon as they learned cars were to be
started. Their object was to aid the
strikers. The mayor is preparing
plan and getting ready to call meet
ing Of leading citizens to consider
the threatening situation. The
company insists upon protection
from the police, and the mayor
claims the police force is inadequate to
the task. If "a compromise is not reached,
the mayor states he will ask for the
militia if the demand is made by the
street railroad company. The effort to
start the cars was a complete failure
and is claimed by the strikers as another
in their series of victories. The cars
were returned to the barn.

sibility of repeating, or of even altering,
Indian nature by treaty or legislation is
pretty fairly eXemplified in the trouble
the government is now having with the
treacherous Cheyennes out in Montana.
Right in the neighborhood of Fort
Keogh, where there is a strong military
encampment, the Cheyennes are muir
dering the settlers and shooting cattle
with all the audacity that was mani
tested when Montana was on the
frontier. The Indian has never for
given the white man for robbing
him of his land. and never will. So long
as drop of Indian blood continues to
flow in human veins the Indian nat
ure will assert itself. 1t would be bet
ter if the government could get all the
Indians on one reservation and then
make liberal provision for them. 1t is
only by treating them as the Cherokees
have been treated that Indian character
can be elevated to a higher standard.
AS long as remnants of tribes are scat
tered all over the Western country, and
the Indians are made to feel their isola-
ton, the opposition to white domination
will only be intensified. Ii they could
all be brought into one territory and be
measurably left to themselves to work
ont their own salvation we have an idea
that the results would be better.

A GREAT TEMPTER,

AS the matter is understood, the state
of Louisiana will not have a new legis-
lature in season to help out that lottery
in case it fails to capture the present
one. The charter expires in 1892, and
the constitution has to be amended be-
fore that time to save it. This can only
be effected by immediate success. The
later reports are unexpectedly favorable
for its defeat. In this event there seems
no locality so hopeful as the Dakota
they SO nearly took last year. 1t IS not
assumed that the state can be captured,
but it would be well to have all the in
fusion possible of inspiriting ozone
pumped into the weak systems. 1t
would be singular spectacle if the
lottery. fugitive from Democratic
state down where virtues are supposed
to partake somewhat of the eneryating
climate, and looking for haven in the
sturdiest of Republican states in all
the West, should at last find one there.
Nearly all the other states have barriers
in their constitutions. The temptation
will be great one.

TT GROWS.

The Democratic party is getting more
into harmony with itself since Mr..
RANDALL's place in congress has been
filled by tariff reformer. 1t was not
only source of infinite regret to the
national Democracy, but it was a pos
tive damage to the party,to be continu-
ally antagonized by Mr.. RANDALL on the
tariff issue. 1t necessarily weakened
the arguments of the tariff reformers
when their opponents could always
rely upon the active support OF one of
the foremost men in the Democratic
ranks. The disappearance of one or
two protection Democrats from the sen
ate, an event that is likely to occur as
soon as the opportunity presents itself,
will facilitate Democratic harmony, and
at the same time hasten the success of
tariff reform principles.
When a man can be elected from Mr..
RANDALI.'s old district ON straight
Democratic platform, it is an evidence
OF the growth of tariff reform ideas
right in the home of protection. The
leaven is working, and soon the whole
lump will be leavened.

A Canadian Steamer Nabbed by
Customs Officers.
VICTORIA, B. c., June 1.-THE little
steamer North Star has been seized by
Customs Inspector Young. Oh charges
of violating the Canada customs act.
Capt. Angel Eiffel and Fred Jones are
owners of the North Star. The steamer,
it is alleged, has been for the past six
months engaged in carrying Cinnamon
from British Columbia into Washington.
The programme has been to run out of
Victoria at night, land her contraband
cargo at some quiet place on the
American shore and at once shoot
back into Canadian waters. The
Chinese Struggled out are dis
posed OF to Monaghan, contractors who
pay $40 to S25 apiece for them. The
buyers have agents at hand wherever
landing is made, aud the Chinese are
Secreted for two or three days and then
shipped to Seattle, Portland or Cali
fOrnia points. The North Star is also
accused of bringing back American
goods and landing them along the coast
near Victoria, and this caused her seiz-
ure. 1t is also stated that she neglected
to clear at the customs house before de-
parting on some of her nocturnal trips.
The owners allege they never brought
any goods to Victoria, but it is consid-
cred improbable here that the Canadian
officials would aid the United States
officers.

HOsPTTAL MANAGEMENT.

The instructions issued by Gov. MER-
RAM to the new lunacy commission are
so thoroughly in line with what the
GLOBE has heretofore advocated that
we feel constrained to add word of
praise for the governors action, and at
the same time to insist that the guber-
material theories respecting the man
agement of insane hospitals shall be
put into practice.
1t is lamentable truth that Mime
sofa is away behind most of the other
states in the character of all its public
institutions, and nowhere is this back
wardneSs more noticeable than in our
insane asylums. We are making no adj
verse criticism upon the management
OF those institutions, for we believe that
about all is being done in that way that
could be done with the limited facilities
at hand. Still, the lack of facilities is
not the only fault to complain of. In
the first place, the buildings at st. Peter
and Rochester are wholly made
Quate for the purposes of insane
asylumS. They are not properly
constructed, nor, indeed, are they
safely constructed. A building of this
character should be absolutely fire.
proof, and the walls should be so solid
and substantial as to withstand the raw
ages of time and the fury of storms.
This cannot be said of some of the
buildings that are now being used for
hospitals. Then again, an insane asy
lum structure should be built with di-
rect reference to conYenienceS and to
the purposes of hospital proper. Our
institutions, or some of them. are sadly
deficient with respect to the modern i'm
provementS in asylum building aud ap-
planes.
Another trouble is that the latest and
most successful system of treatment for
insane patients has not been intro
duced into our state institutions. This
may not be the fault of the management
nor of the officers in charge so much as
1t is of that parsimonious spirit which
controls legislative appropriations. The
allowances made by the state are not
sufficient to justify the hospital man
agement in undertaking to establish the
reforms and improvements that have
been adopted in other states. AS re-
suit they are forced to plod along in
the old ruts while other communities
are keeping pace with the progressive
march of modern civilization.
1t is about time Minnesota was awak
ening from its lethargy. and we are
glad to observe that the governor has
been SO seriously impressed with this
fact as to make special effort to secure
better asylum management. We do not
propose to anticipate the work of the
new lunacy commission by making sug-
gestions, but in behalf Of longsuffer-
ing public we do urge upon the mem
berS to give the matter most thorough
investigation, and to aim to impress the
next legislature with the Importance of
having Minnesota catch mp with her sis
ter states in the character and manage
ment of her public institutions.

PATRIOTIC BUT CRANKY.
A Canadian Army Officer Orders
the American Flag Lowered.

the American Flag Lowered.
KINGSTON, Ont, June 11.-Quite a
ripple of excitement was created at
Ferry wharf this afternoon by an at
tempt on the part of Col. Cotton, COM
mandant of Battery A, stationed at
Kingston, to prevent an excursion party
boarding the American steamer St.
Lawrence until she had lowered
the stars and stripes. A few days
ago the management of the steamer
received permission from the Canadian
government to call at Canadian ports
down the st. Lawrence river to collect
excursionists. The boat was engaged
to-day by the Canadian Order of For
esters for an excursion to the Thousand
in the party was Mayor Brennan, of this
city, who had engaged Battery A
band to escort the excursionists. When
about to board the boat the mayor was
informed by Col. Cotton that he must
not board the steamer until the
American flag was hauled down.
This order caused great COM
otion ameng the Forresters and their
friends. The owners of the steamer,
however, after being consulted, refused
to obey the order and so informed Colo
mel Cotton. The American flag was
flying at the end of the steamers bow
spirit and the union jack at the top of
the staff at the bow of the boat, and the
stars and stripes also predominated at
the stern. Colonel Cotton was inter-
viewed this evening, by reporter,
and said with reference to the
matter of allowing the men to
land in American ports wearing
British military uniforms. SIT is against
the regulations governing British
troops and / objected; / found out after
wards that it was not intended to land
the men, and when / learned that the
American flag was flying in con-
spicuous place On the steamer l OBJ
jected to allowing the members of the
band to 90 on board because / did not
think it would look right to see body
of British troops being conveyed
through the Thousand Islands on a
steamer carrying the stars andsstripes
at her stern. There would have been
nothing wrong in the men going with
the excursion as civilians. l am sorry
there has been any trouble over the
matter. A peaceful understanding
could have been arrived at had the flags
been lowered before the boat left port.
Of course we did not own the boat, and
could not compel the owners to lower
the flag. / therefore refused to allow
the band to go on board"

SHORTER LEGAL FORMS.

Lawyers are not supposed to be dis
tressingly anxious to simplify legal
phraseology and avoid the expansion of
deeds, mortgages and other formal
documents. The prevalent disposition
has been to insist that every word or
phrase had distinct share of the ag-
gregate statement. This idea has come
from the common law of England, dat
ing back hundreds of years. Perhaps
it was partially due to the sort of notion
that invested those who handled the
law and justice professionally or Off
cially with wigs, gowns and other toy
gerry of dignity. To the nntutored
sense piece of land could have its title
transferred without the use of all the
synonyms in the dictionary for the
short word sell. To ''grant, bargain,
sell and convey" may ''make it more
binding" but with the modern courts
of equity the abridged form ought
to be sufficient for an electric
age. The old creeds made in England
some hundreds of years ago are being
boiled down, and there is a growing
DUpuldl biitlt ltC Cllltl uGtu
of the legal yerbosity in these times is
to enlarge the fees of the agencies in
yolved. The bar association at Pitts
burg has given the subject careful in
vestigation, and report recently made
to it favors reduction of two-thirds or
more in most of the legal papers. In
deeds where 37S words have been used
it is found that 96 will do all the neces-
sary service. Their new form of mort
gage has but 235 words in place of the
6S5 in the old. The tendency of the
time is to put concise, Ineligible bust
ness speech in the place of the musty
formularies. There is progress in all
other methods of transacting affairs.
and the legal should not be laggardly
conservative.

Opening Session of the National
Temperance Congress.


New YORK, June 1.-THE national
temperance congress opened its two
days. session at the Broadway Taber-
nacle this morning. The Rev. DR..
Charles F. Deems, of the Church of the
Strangers, was called to preside over
the deliberations of the congress. The
question, s'ls National Prohibition DeSir-
able and feasible" was then discussed
by Gen. Neal Dow from the high
license side, and Robert Graham from
the prohibition point of view. S. H.
Davis, Md, of Chicago, read paper
entitled, ...Alcoh0l Poison-Neyer to
be Used for Beverage Purposes" and
another was read by Prof. r. Cornwall
entitled, 1.-THE Battle of Omaha"
Among those present were: Gen. A.
B. Nettleton, of Minneapolis: A. T.
Kynetts, d. D., of Philadelphia;
Albert Griffin. of Kansas; Judge
c. C. Benny, of Chicago; Hon. Walter
B. Hill, of Georgia; John Bascom, d.
D., ex-preSident.o Wisconsin univer-
sity; Hon. George E. Foster, minister of
finance, Canada: Robert Rae, secretary
of the National Temperance League of
Great Britain, and DR.. Howard Crosby.
In the afternoon session, Rev. j. K.
Dunk, of New York, advocated that
both prohibitionists and high license
people unite on some practicable re-
striction measure. DIR. Huntington. of
Grace church, disbelieved in either pro-
hibition or high licence. Both had proved
failures. We must find some substitute
for the saloon, and must lessen the de-
sire for liquor before the saloon, and
we can eradicate the evils of intemper-
ance. improvement in the homes of the
poor would be one good step. Gen. A.
B. Nettleton, of Minneapolis, favored
the founding of an American Union
Temperance alliance to work for better
laws and better public sentiment. DR..
J. Kynetts, of Philadelphia, favored
prohibition. After several other
speeches in favor of total abstinence
and prohibition the session closed.

OFFERED A BIG BRIBE.
A Washington Official Sounded
by the Book Trust.


OLYMPIA, Wash, June lit. II.
Leach, of Vancouver, member of the
state board of education, announced to
the board yesterday that he had been
offered $1,000 as a bride to bring about
reconsideration of the recent action
of the board in regard to text books.
He also laid before the board a check
for the money drawn in his favor by
G. E. Eames, on the First National Bank
of Portland, Or. Last Thursday the
board adopted text books for the state,
the American Book company. repre-
senting the book trust, receiving about
% per cent of the awards. Two
members of the board voted constantly
for all the trust books. The trust
agents, represented by EameS, who is
connected with detective agency in
Portlank, wanted Leach to move for re-
consideration, so far as readers and
arithmeticS were considered, which
would give the trust houses so per cent
of the awards. Leach was promised
$1,000 and certain other considerations.
Leach moved to reconsiderMonday. The
motion was accepted and the matter left
open. He then received the check and
exposed the plot yesterday. The board
promptly reaffirmed its action of last
Thursday, and passed resolutions con-
demning the American Book company.

cradle stir has been created in military
circles by the statement of Of
fieers of the First regiment,
National guards, Washington. that
unless Lieut.. W II. Gorham. of Company
d is court martialled the First regi-
ment will disband. On st. Patrick's

postponement of drill to allow
an Irish society the use of the armory
for ball. Extensive preparations
having been made for the event. Lieut..
Gorham criticised Kellogg's action
sharply, stirred up strife in the
company and asked for Kellogg's
resignation. The colonel of the regi-
ment refused to accept the resignation
and instead preferred charges against
Gorham to Gov. Ferry. The latter ord
cred court-martial, which convened here
last week. The copy of the charges was
mysteriously lost and court adjourned
indefinitely. The officers of the Firs
regiment claim that the charges were
lost Intentionally by friends of Gorham
who want to shield him. Mich disSat-
