FOR PURIIC BATHS.

Cleanliness is not only next to godii-
ness, but it is the cheapest method of
approach to that beatific state; yet, by
the inscrutable wisdom of a very COM
mon law, penalty is laid upon that
cleanliness. An existing ordinance
compelS the unclean, during the swim
ming season, to refrain from bathing in
the river except at hours not only incon-
Venient, but impracticable. The uncom-
Portable unclean may, 1t is true. battle
in daylight, provided he swathes his
form in an ulster or other covering, but
such condition amounts almost to
prohibition. The city should come to
the rescue. 1t is palpably immodest for
young men, or old ones either, to enjoy
al fresco baths in the open river in public
view: but the baths must be had, and the
city should provide the way. The LIE
NAU bill, in the last Legislature, gives
the authority and should be carried out.
We must have public baths. The morals
of st. Paul can be elevated IN no other
such economical way; no other route to
a kinship with godliness can be taken
with less expense and less trouble.
Other cities, far less enterprising, have
met and provided for the demand for
public bathing houses, and st. Paul
should join the procession. The GLOBE
this morning shows how readily and
economically portable baths may be pro-
yided, and urges its consideration by the
proper authorities.

ANOTHER"CHRISTiAN STATES
MA " =,

President HARRISON'S administration
promises to be as prolific of scandals as
was that of GRANT. The latest, which
closely connects his postmaster general
with the Philadelphia bank frauds, is
not the least of them because the latest.
Brother" WANAMAKER postures as a
Christian of the pronounced type. He
is the promoter Of churches, the director
of Sunday schools, the ac tive solicitor
of funds for all good and pious enter
prises. He raised 100000 for the last
campaign of the party which claims to
have sinch OH all the morality on and
off the market. He raised 5000 to pay
the debts of Brother" BARDSLEY, the
eminently good treasurer OF PhiIadel-
pnia: he had hand in providing that
cottage by the sea for the shelter of the
unfortunate inmates OF the White house.
Yes. Brother JOHN was without
guile and worthy of all trust.
But 1t is too bad that events bring so
many shatterings Of our idols. When
men like WANAMAKER prove to be only
of common clay; that he, too, slips his
conscience into his vest pocket with the
injunction peace. be STILL" when it
would stand between him and illicit
gains, it robs us of that sweet confidence
which we all love to repose in the Just.
the virtuous and the good.
JOHN and JOINS wife and JoHN's
firm were heavy depositorS in the Kew
stone bank of dlStreSsful memory to its
other and less cute depositors. Its
former president had given JOHN as
collateral $500 shares of the stock of
the bank. Last January JOHN was told
by the man who had succeeded to the
presidency of the bank that the stock
given him was bogus. and wanted him
to surrender it. He refused, but began
forthwith to withdraw the deposits of
himself and firm. A complaiSant comp
troller of the treasury, after knowing that
the bank was swindle. deferred clos
ing it up until JOHN had drawn out all
his money and his wife's money and
his firms money. Then the banks
doors were promptly shut. But this is
not all. After JOHN had been told that
the stock held by him was fraudulently
issued and void, this truly pious states
man tried to sell 1t to parties who knew
nothing of it, He offered it for S10O 900,
and later for half that amount. This
instructor of morals to Sunday school
scholars was willing that some innocent
investor should buy the bonds which he
knew were frauds-were worthless
which would be total loss of every
dollar paid for them-if he could only
get the money for which he held them.
Plain business men have name for
such conduct as this when their fellows
are guilty of it. but perhaps cheating
isn't cheating when the act is that of a
professional Christian like JOHN.

WHY SUCH CRUELTY?

1t is one of the anomalies to the aver
age individual that the Russian author
tiles should be willing to lose such an
element of population as the Jews, num-
bering millions. 1t is not to be supposed
that religious fanaticism possesses the
potentates. Of that Quasi-civilization.
This is not the age for that sort of thing.
1t is related that man who recently
heard for the first time Of the tragedy
of Calvary wanted to lay out any Jew he
might meet, but the czar and the others
who operate Russian things are not so
emotional in their religion. There is no
Christian spirit. or even decent human
ity, in the treatment of the Jews. 1t
is possible that the popular feel
ing against them that acQuiesces
in the official brutality has some
source in the superior intelligence
and capacity of the Jews. They
show greater aptness and desire for
learning than the Russian Christians.
The Hebrews of both sexes crowd the
schools whenever open to them. This
has seemed to the government a scandal,
and interdictions have been had. AT
St. Paul daily globe., 1891-06-21
MAY HAVE ALANGUAGE.

1t seems absurd to talk about monkeys
or other animals having any sort of
speech that can be SystematiZed into
language. 1t is an undoubted fact that
animals have some sort of mind-reading
faculty and exchange ideas in limited
way, but SO far as making themselves in
telligible to human beings, the panto-
mime has been the reliance. The claim
made by the French ZOologist, Prof.
GARNER, that he has discovered that
monkeys do talk, has attracted the atten-
ton of the scientists, and is being treated
as reasonable possibility. If evolution
is accepted i'll species and ADAM be-
comes an allegory or myth, a similar
process may be traced in language.
Man was pretty we'll up to his present
estate. in view of his starting point,
when he was monkey. Attention was
given to vocal culture, and the need OF
a language began to dawn upon his
mind. He did not get very far along
with it, but fixed upon certain sounds
as the representatives of ideas or the
needs of association. A San Francisco
authority claims that an old sea captain
in that city has substantially acquired
the monkey language. He was wrecked
on the coast of Brazil, and for months
had only monkeys for companions.
When he goes to gathering of monkeys
and begins to utter their sort of speech,
they flock about him as if he were a
long lost brother. and jabber like a
sewing circle until he points a finger
at the biggest of them, when they
all hush. He then may spend
an hour or more in conversa-
ton with the older ones, while the
others listen. Grimaces and motions
comprise most of it. perhaps, but that is
the case with some human races. There
is one in Africa called the KilIicats that
has little more language than the simian
stock; gestures and clucks and clicks
comprise most OF it. Most animals are
able to communicate to some extent to
their race fellows, and it is not i'm
probable that hints at language may be
found ages prior to man, if he really
came up from 6iSmally remote and
disgustingly low ancestry. Still, 1t is
not probable that the monkey will ever
shed much light on the antecedent
theories of human life.

THE BULL APIS is HOLY.

Last September the Pioneer Press
SAID Of the MCKINLEY bill: But they
the people-are not in favor of build
ing Chinese wall about the industries
of this country. under the shelter of
which monopolies and trusts may thrive
by the robbsry of the people, In the
present balmy June it says: 'sThe bill
has become law Ali the business in
terests of the country have adjusted
themselves to its requirements.
Good faith to the multitudes who have
accepted it as the settled policy of the
country, and made their business ar
rangements accordingly, demands that
it be recognized as the settled policy of
the country, at least long enough to
give it trial.
That is to say, bill which 'shelters
trusts and monopolies," and permits
them to rob the people, having become
a law. must be permitted to continue to
be the sheltering arms of the robbers,
because the robbers have adjusted their
business TO their opportunities. Calling
these chevallerS d. industrie business
interests" and ''multitudes" does not
make them other than what the Pioneer
Press fifty characterized as robbers be-
fore its bull Apis had been canonized
by the party at whose shrine our con-
temporary devoutly worships, and when
it was but common animal of the
herd and very unlikely, and, in our con-
tempOrary's opinion then, very unfit, to
be chosen for Sanctitication.
But there is an audacity in this calm
assurance that McKinleyism has been
accepted as the settled policy OF the
country that commands our admiration.
When was it accepted, pray? And by
whom? When Republican congress,
first seating enough Republicans de-
feated by the people. by narrow ma
jorlty thrust it on the country as law?
Was it so accepted by the multitudes
who went to the polls last Novem-
Der to pass their opinion Oh it when that
was the sole issue for decision? Was it
when the Republican majority of
twenty in the Fifty-frst congress was
turned into Democratic majority of
149 in the Fifty second? Do the eighty
nine Republican congressman who
hObNo III Iliub Ulli NClO IClllCu lOl
it by their constituents admit that
the policy is settled? In the face of the
rejection of McKinleyism by the people
to a degree approaching unanimity;
with Democratic house elected be-
cause the people said it should not be
the policy of the country longer than its
repeal could be legally reached; with
that house to assemble in few months,
what business interests would dare to
proceed with their investments in con-
fidence that ultra protection was to be
the policy for an indefinite time?
Our contemporary knows better, and
is merely whistling down the wind.
There has been no moment since the
9th of last October when any man felt
that the question was decided, and there
has not been moment since when the
determination of the Democratic party
to send the Mckinley act to join the
Republican majority of the late con-
greSs was as firm as now.

Odessa, for instance, the attendants of
the college were from 50 to IS per cent
Jews. Five years ago this educational
fact drew out repressive enactments. 1t
was ordered that no college should re-
ceive more than 10 per cent of Jewish
pupils, even in a community of Jews.
In the interior per cent was the limit,
and in st. Petersburg and Moscow per
cent was the restriction. So with
the universities and professional
schools; very few Jews were al
lowed 10 study law, medicine CT
art. At one university out of seventy
applicants but seven were admitted.
The effort has been to keep them in ig
norance and prevent their acquiring
property to any considerable extent.
The expressions have eliminated in a
virtual expatriation of the race. 1t is
alleged that young Jews of both sexes
are found among the Eihilists. 1t would
be strange if they were not. there, and
an imputation upon the spirit of the
modern race that looks back proudly to
the dawn of history. If it is true that
a great portion of the nihilists are Jews,
there may be increased liberation for
their retaliatory cruelty.

THE STREET CAR SYSTEM.

The visitor to the Twin Cities is i'm
pressed with the belief that their street
car lines arc not surpassed, if equaled,
in any other city. Perfection has not
been attained in detail, and the dis
cerner does not live who can give sat
isfactory guess where the limit of i'm
provement will be found. 1t would be
source of regret if there were no room
to grumble and anticipate something
better. But as an indication of the
view taken by the travelled and intelli-
gent visitor, we take the following par
agraphs from an article on the interur-
ban line in the last number of the Chi
cago Street Railway Review:
One of the most delightful electric car rides
III the whole country is that to be had on the
new interurbau line connecting ST. Paul and
Minneapolis. The distance from city to city
IS about ten miles, but since the opening of
the line residence building has progressed
rapidly on both sides the handsome street in
the center Of which the tracks are laid with
the trolley wires hung from cross-arms of
center poles. These poles are placed between
the tracks, leaving a safe distance between
them and the body of the car, and as pole
after pole stretches out along hill top, down

the line starts from business centers, and by
an admirable system of transfers passenger
may take any car in one city and be trans
ferred to the interurban line. As point
halfway between the two cities is ap-
preached. the conductor announces the fact,
and that beyond this point another fare will
be collected
There are no severe grades on the in ter
urban. but several long ones-however, the
time made in climbing them is excellent, and
there seemed no difficulty IN securing full
speed in going two or three car lengths after
stopping Tor passengers at the steepest
points. At night. as the gayly lighted train
skins along it is a most fascinating sight
especially late at night, when one misses by
a moment the last car, and it sails away in
the darkness and you are not in it.
AS means of harmonizng the interests of
the two cities. SO many of which are mutual
in their character, it is by far the most potent
agency which has appeared in years. On the
trip to ST. Paul the writer noticed several
Minneapolis residents who were inquIring
the location of certain stores in ST. Paul, and
on the return were others on their way TO
avail themselves of bargains in Minneapolis
