SUNDAY THEATERs AGAIN.

In Minneapolis the clergymen have
begun crusade against Sunday the
aters. a similar movement, it will be
remembered, was inaugurated here a
few months ago by the women of st.
Paul. The Minneapolis reformers have
opened the campaign by petitiOning the
city council to pass an ordinance for
bidding shows OH the first day of the
week. This is calling on the law for
the help of its strong arm, and is lit
tie different from the method pursued
in st. Paul. Here sweet-yOiced per-
SuaSion was relied on. 1t will be inter
esting to contrast the outcome of the
two efforts.
In this connection it may be said that
one Of the chief difficulties which stand
in the way of the satisfactory solution
OF the national base ball complication is
this same Sunday question. If St. Louis
could be included III the league. con-
sOlidation OF it and the American asso-
citation might be effected on an equitable
basis. But in St. Louis games are
played on the Sabbath, and it is admit
ted that if they were not club could
not be successfully maintained there.
On the other hand, in the Eastern cities
the sport would lose its prestige should
such an innovation be attempted. With
the omission of st. Louis no truce can
be patched up, and, if it Is admitted,
disaster is close at hand. There is much
pulling to find way of escape.
One of the plans proposed has been
the education Of local sentiment in St
Louis TO a better observance of the
sacred day. The religious press there
has been called on to cooperate in this
work. But, curiously enough, it does
not respond. One of the papers ex-
presses itself as enthusiastically in favor
of abStaining from most forms of pleas
IRE on Sundays. 1t would have the
theaters closed, and the saloons ana
nearly everything else. But it draws
the line al base ball games. 1t sees no
harm in them. This instance suggests
how largely the laws of morality are
matters of convention, without any par
ticular basis in the nature of things,
but framed in response to temporary
and often inconsistent fashions and
shades of thought

ELECTED TOO MUCH.

The policy Republicans in Iowa now
regret that they carried the legislature
at the late election. 1t puts them in
dilemma. They wanted to unload the
prohibition elephant. Had the Demo
Gratis few more votes in each branch,
they would have the responsibility of
shaping this legislation. They have a
clear, definite policy declared in thei T
platform and supported in the cam
paign. The Republicans took issue with
it. They resolved to stand 10y the law
and tone up its weaknesses. All their
members are pledged to this. The pro-
hibitionists furnish them the greater
part of their votes, and do not pro-
pose to tolerate any treachery to them.
The third party prohibitionists have
made almost no showing in the state be-
cause the Republicans stood by the pro-
bibitive policy. One of the Republican
prohibition organs reminds the leaders
that the party is sOlemnly pledged to
stand firm on that line, and throws out
the menace of the loss of the temper
ance vote if it does not continue to do
so. On the other hand, it is insisted
that the state cannot be carried next
year without getting back the liberal
vote. In either case the blunGer of car
rying the legislature is pregnant with
disaster to the party.

openly socialist. He said
that the principles of socialism were the
ideals of Christianity. Rev. William
Pratt, of Detroit, Mich, said the princi-
pies of Christianity and socialism were
the same, except that Christianity went
further than socialism; went further
than justice, and even to mercy.
Rev. }. o. S. Huntingdon said he was
not a socialist, but he recognized the
fact that there was discomfort among
the people. Was it not absurd to class
land-the gift of God--as private prop
erty with the things man made. He did
not favor the division of the land into
little bits any more than he favored the
division of the atmosphere. But he
hated the landlord. His title was bias
phemOus, for there was but one land
lord, and the human race were His ten

CONGRESSMAN HALL

Hon. O. NJ. HALL, of Red Wing, is
proving himself we'll worthy of the po-
iitical hOnOrS which have been awarded
him. He has discussed the silver queS.
ton in several public interviews with
much clearness and force of expression.
His recent letter, in which he Endorses
the candidacy of MIR. Mills for the
speakership, has also attracted general
attention. 1t is we'll put in vigorous
English. and shows that our new con-
gresham has the courage of his cOnvic-
tons, and the ability to defend them.
The GLOBE does not at this time favor
one man above another as presiding
officer of the next congress, and there
may be some honest difference of Opin-
ion as TO the wisdom Of choosing the
great Texan. No difference of opin-
ION at all can exist, however, as
TO the wisdom of Mr.. HALLS views
on the issues of the hour as he
puts them in his letter. He says that
the reform of the tariff is the vital ques-
ton and that the Democracy must hold
it to the front until it is no longer a
question, but a fact. He deprecates the
intrusion of free silver into the party's
platform, and declares that until pro-
teetionism is disposed of there is work
enough and more for patriots to do. He
will vote for Mr.. MILLS because he
agrees with him that this is true, and
because, more than any other man, he
represents the DemOcracy's position on
the revenue problem. This Is frank
and open avowal of a political faith
which will commends itself to Mr.
HALLS constituents and to all other
right-thinking men. The GLOBE pre-
diets that the member from Red Wing
will make his mark at the capital, and
win an honorable name for himself and
the state that lie represents.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.

The GLOBE is sure that Rev. DR.. S. g.
SMITH is misquOted by some of the local
papers Ill the reports which they give of
his speech at the labor meeting on
Tuesday night. He is rightly ranked
among our foremost citizens. and yiel DIS
to no one in courage, discretion, breadth
of view, human sympathy and faith in
mankind and its future. 4 man of such
scrt could not have used these words,
which are attributed to him:
The time will come when all crafts shall be
organized, together making vast army, and
on the other size the capitalists will all be
, organized together. Will there be war then?
I say no. When differences oc-
cur they will be settled by courts of arbitra-
ton.
This Is the picture not of millenni-
UNI, but of purgatOry, and these are the
representations, not of seer buoyant
with hOpefulness and confident of the
development of society to higher aud
better plane, but of peSSimiSt, whose
ideal is in the past and who dreams of
humanity's defeat in its fight for free
dom. They are not the senti ments of
DR.. SMITH. The GLOBE believes that
an injustice has been done him.
If God is good TO us, the day will
never come in this land when labor
shall stand On the one side in battle ar
ray and capital on the other. Every
American with brawny arms, stout
heart and good habits is a capitalist as
well as a laDorer. There is no division
here into opposing social classes. The
q ln rnrl-c fol full
at anOther's command will tomorrow
himself be an employer, with hirelings
TO do his bidding. The mechanic
who ten years ago began to save
some part of his small wages
now owns his own plant, and
the names of his neighbors who then
rode in their carriages appear on his
weekly pay roll. Industry and ability
elevate those who have them with be-
wildering rapidity. and a single genera
ton is long enough for family without
these qualities to dissipate their accu-
mutations. The prize of a competency
is anvbody'S who has the strength of
purpose to contend for it. May none
of US who love our country live to see
it otherwise. If society is tending to-
ward a qualification where plutocratS
shall glare from one side of the street
at proletarians who walk on the other,
courts of arbitration will be an ineffec-
tual device for the preservation of pub
lie order and happiness. 1t is our duty,
as patriots. to spit on our hands and
tear the mass aSunder before it be-
comes too close-knit for our muscles.
But this is not the tendency of modern
society: and DR.. SMITH, wise man that
he is. could not have said that it was.

A TENDER CHILD
Made Witness in the Trial of a
Shocking Charge

5hOCAtHS SnaFSc.
James LatourelIe, the corpulent ex-
drummer in Kleist's band, was yester-
day put on trial in Judge Otis court on
the serious charge of attempting a GRIM
i inal assault upon the person of Annie
Kegel, nnder the age of ten years. w.
w. Erwin appeared for the defense and
assistant COuntyAttOrney Pierce Butler
IS conducting the prosecution. Judge
Otis excluded dlSinterested persons
and witnesses from the court
room before the trial began.
In opening the case to the jury Mr..
Butler stated that the evidence would
show that the defendant had repeatedly
assaulted the child, and that it had been
necessary to call upon a physician to
treat the child for injuries sustained
prior to the assault specified as occur
ring July 20 last. The Offense is al
legged to have been committed at the
Latourelle house. - Exchange street,
next door to the home of the child's
parents.
Mrs. Agnes Kegel. the child'S mother.
was called to the stand to show the con-
diti0n of the child. but was withdrawn
until her evidence should be admissible
in the regular order. Annie hegel was
brought into the court room, but was so
timid and frightened that it took Judge
Otis, Mr.. Butler and the mother over an
hour to coax her to refrain from she'd
ding tears and to answer questions. The
child is of frail figure, and is under
eight years old. Some difficulty was ex-
perienced by Judge Otis in ascertaining
whether the child could comprehend
the nature of an oath. and, after using
his utmost tact for some time, he turned
the child over to Mr.. Butler to be taken
to one side and cOaXed out of her
fright.
The court and Mr.. Wellington were
eventually satisfied that the child is
competent to testify, although her in
depreciation of the binding obligation of
an oath was stated to be that she would
be spanked if she did not tell the truth.
Judge Otis finally called the mother to
the witness box and told her to take the
child in her lap while she recited her
story. After persistent cOaXing and
with innumerabie questions Mr..
Butler drew from the child the
statements to the effect that La
tOurelle had frequently takeu her into
a room at his house during last winter
and summer, and on enc occasion had
fastened the doors and pulled down the
blinds, and did NASTY thing" as she
expressed it. During the whole of the
time on the stand the child would rub
her closed hands upon her eyes, or keep
her arms before her face in frightened
way, but would occasionally glance
about the room as if awe-Strtcken. Not
much progress was made with the testi-
mOny, and the trial will proceed today.
