CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

The horror of hanging as punish
iShment for crime may be realized with
new clearness from the details which
come of the last hours of WILLIAM
ROSE. An execution in city Jail or state
prison, conducted by experienced Off
GERS and with the solemn surroundings
attendant on such places, is terrible
enough. But in lonesome country
town the sheriff to whose reluctant
hands is entrusted the CHASTITY work
may know the trembling victim init
mately from years of association. The
early familiarity and the inadequate
facilities of small village deprive the
scene of all aspects of remoteness
and awe. The condemned has to be
killed because the law commands it.
and he is led forth to his fate as beast
might be to the shambles. by men who
shrink from this duty with fear as
great as his who suffers it. If it is nee
essary for the good Of society that muir
derers should give their lives in expia-
ton of their sin, let it be done with the
seriousness and the formaIity Of a sac
rifice, that the distressing features which
inevitably accompany it may be reduced
to minimum.
A very unusual and needless provision
of our laws, too, is that which puts upon
the shoulders of the governor the duty
of ordering the execution. This is
judicial and not an executive function.
The judge before whom the case has
been tried and under whose rulings the
verdict has been reached Is the proper
officer to pronounce the sentence even to
the day and hour. The governor knows
nothing of the merits of the judgment
and neither by training nor opportu-
nifty is adapted to pass upon them. There
are many good arguments in favor Of
the opinion that even the consideration
OF such extra judicial facts as it may be
right to have presented az a reason for
the exercise of mercy, ought to be left to
a court of pardons regularly constituted
for that purpose. But even if this is
not true and it be admitted that the
kind Of mind which usually is found in
the governors chair can weigh such
matters more truly than could a Judge,
the line can properly be drawn here. 1t
is not wise nor fair to make the chief
executive judge in the first instance,
as the present law atte mpts to do.

THIS is PARADOXICAL.
The Northern Pacific Loses in
Its Long-Pending North
Dakota Tax Cases,
But the Decision Is Reported
Worth Twenty Millions
to the Road.
The Interior Department
Knocked Out by Judge
Caldwell's Holding.
The Road Held to Be the Own
er of Lands and Minerals
as Well.

FARGO, n. D., Oct. 15.-Judge Cald-
well, of the United States circuit court
this morning filed a decision in the
famous Northern Pacific tax cases,
which have been IN litigation III the
state and United States court for many
years. The decision is a great victory
for Edgar W. Camp, the new United
States district attorney, who has fought
the case from the beginning, and has
hung on until a victory was secured.
The action is brought by the Northern
Pacific railroad against the county au-
ditorS of twelve counties. in North Da-
kota to perpetually enjoiD them from
collecting taxes LEVIED for the year 1888
upon that portion of place lands granted
the complainant situated i'll said cOun-
ties. On the filing of plaintiffs bill a
temporary restraining order was grant
ed. The decision is in favor of the
following order:
That the temporary injunction heretofore
granted in this cause be dissolved ana the
demurrer to the bill of the complainant sus-
tanned, and the bill dismissed for want of
equity at compliments cost. 1t is further
ordered that no appeal taken from this de-
cree now supersedeas of this decree shall
have effect to restore and continue said tenn
porary injunction hereby dissolved.
1t is said the decision of Judge Cald-
well is worth from SO, 900, COO to SIT. 0OO.-
600 to the railroad, although on the main
issue as to taxation Of lands the decision
is against the company. The decision
gives the road clear title to all lands
within its grant not known to contain
mineral at the time Of filing the map Of
definite location of the road. The in
terror department has hitherto refused
10 patent these lands until the railroad
should produce proof that the
lands did not contain mineral.
Many thousands of acres of land in
Montana, Idaho and Washington, upon
which gold. silver and copper have been
discovered since the filing of the map of
location, and which the interior depart
ment has held were not included in the
grant, are by Judge Caldwell's decision
declared to be the property of the rail
road, mot only the land, but the miner
ais as we'll" The value of the railroad
taxes involved in Judge CaldwelPs de-
cisi0n to-day for the twelve counties in
terested will be about 100000.

OPENED ON SUNDAY.

The good people who are exercising
their souls so deeply over the question
of opening the worlds fair on Sunday
do not seem to have any portion of their
righteous solicitude to spare for the in
vasion of their religious regime by the
local eXpositions in progress. Here is
the corn palace at Sioux City. the home
of PADDOCK, the martyr to one of the
great moral lines of restraint. 1t is
the chief commercial city of state
that has stood among the advance in
attempts to make people good and virtu-
Gus by law. This great agricultural
and industrial exhibit has not only been
open Sundays, but has made that the
special day of all for the attraction. Last
Sunday there were six excursion trains
on single line of road bringing the
good people of Iowa and Nebras-
ka to the exhibit. Nor was it an
exception to former Sundays. There
was no complaint of any lack of order;
nor did the proteStants In the Chicago
case raise their deprecating voices.
There was less occasion for the opening
of the corn palace Sunday than there
will be for the larger one at Chicago, as
it could be all taken in on a single day,
while the one by the big lake cannot be
properly viewed without several days.
Then Milwaukee has an exposition
that was opened last Sunday as an ex-
pertinent. That city is not quite so
rigid in bibnlous matters as the Iowa
one, but prides itself on being among
the most exemplary in demeanor. The
opening last Sunday was somewhat as
test Of public sentiment on the sub
ject, and an object lesson for those who
are in travail over the Chicago conun-
drum. The attendance considerably
exceeded 10000. and was by far the
largest of the season. The working
classes were there by the thousand, and
the local papers state that it was rare to
find one there without the wife and
children. Few of them had been
able to attend on the week days, and
they are represented as having a happy
and orderly time in viewing the gath
cred works of the Creator, with the
developments of human genus. There
, was nothing to mar the good feeling of
the occasion. 1t is presumed by the
local observers that most of the people
attended church in the morning, as is
the alleged habit of the Cream City cit
liens. No religious seDsibilities seemed
to have been shocked by the Sunday
opening, and it was big financial sue
cess. 1t may be a difficult task by
those who are looking after the Chicago
fair to show that these Sioux CITY and
Milwaukee exhibits are not suggestive
of the results of opening the larger ex-
hibition on Sunday.

BLUE LAW RELICS.

Baltimore is not quite the locality to
which one would look for blue laws, but
the antiquarian will find something of
the kind among the ancient statutory
debris of most of the communities that
date back to colonial times. Recently
samples Of this sort have been exhumed
in Baltimore. A grand jury, apparently
ambitions to distinguish itself. hunted
up statutes unrepealed that had slum-
bered so long that they were forgotten,
and instructed the authorities to enfore
them. Last Sunday people who had
left orders for meats and other essen
tials to physical comfort to be sent to
their homes Sunday morning were
forced to find solace in the supplies laid
in prior to the dawn of the sacred day.
Ice and milk were the only ar
ticles allowed to be delivered. These
were requisite for the children and
to enable their elders to keep cool.
Newspapers were sold, but test is to
be had later covering them. There
were no Sunday papers when tt csc laws
were enacted, and they are not spe-
officially covered, but the spirit of the
law will perhaps take them in. No
doubt the effect of this revival of the
old blue rules will be to secure their re-
peal. They afford induces of the con-

CONSUMERS. KICK.

The tin plate manufacturers in this
crossed in producing political tin to
meet the needs of the commercial par
ties. An association has been formed
in New York, representing 1900 tin fac
tories, and at recent session some facts
pertaining.to the tin consumption were
developed. These 1000 canning fac
tories give more or less employ
ment directly and indirectly to
some 100000 persons, and con-
sumo S8,000,00o worth of tin, or
more than half of the entire amount
imported. They were promised that in
thirty days after the adoption of the
tin tariff the tin production would
swarm with the eager manufacturers
This vision has not been realized.

''still blowing the tin horn of promise
to the phantom tin-plate industry, and
adding to the reality of their iron-roof-
ing plants" The theory of MCKINLEY
and ALLISON that tin plate would be
reduced had not materialized. The in
crease in price had been sufficient to
pay 12.000 workmen a salary of S40O a
year, with 100000 left over. Without
the duty the Gamers could pay the
farmers and growers of the fruits and
canned goods 25 per cent more and still
sell at the old prices. The duty on the
tin plate used on the canned meats con-
sumed in this country would pay for

that the coming congress ought not to
disturb the tin duties.

Protest Against the Pioneer Press
Reflections on the Swedish Serv-
ant Girls

Reflections on the Swedish Serv-
ant Girls.
st. Paul and Minneapolis Skaffaren.
Skaffaren would be delinquent in its
duties if it failed to enter an emphatic
protest against the reflections upon our
Swedish servant girls contained in an
article in the Issue of the Pioneer Press
for Sunday.
If the Pioneer Press would make a
thorough canvass among the house
wives of the city, we are confident he
would find that in their judgments
Swedish girls are fully as competent as
those of any other nationality. The
Swedish people are an industrious, hard
working, thrifty and intelligent race,
and Swedish women are no exception.
Swedish girls are more graceful and
more womanly in their carriage and APP
pearance than are those of any other
nationality in Europe, with the excep-
ton of France.
1t is possible that the boarding house
keeper, who seems to have been the
only source upon which the P. p. has
drawn for information, may have some
good reasons for preferring Norwegian
girls, but she cannot maintain that there
is material difference in intelligence
or ability between Swedish and Nor
Wegian girls of the working class. The
condition of the common people IS about
the same in Norway as in Sweden, and
the training and education young girls
receive are about the same in both
countries.
We also dissent from the opinion of
your informant when she says that the
girls who come to America now are of
poorer class than those who came here
fifteen years ago. AS matter of fact,
emigration from the Scandinavian coun-
tries, as from all other countries in Eu-
rope. started among the Flower strata"
1t has worked upwards into the higher
layers of society continuously. until it
has reached the class representing
the very highest Intelligence. All
Of the Swedish girls who work
as a humble domestic in families
have a very good common school
education, and not few have passed
through courses corresponding the car
riculum of our high schools. 1t is true
that more factory girls immigrate now
than was the case dozen years ago.
but they very rarely seek employment
as servants. The Swedish servant girl
has shouldered the full share of the
burden of building up this great North
west. On the whole. she has done her
work intelligently, diligently and we'll.
She is entitled to credit for faithful
service in discharging humble, yet i'm
portant duties. At least she should not
be made target for calumny and mis-
representation.

SEEN Ar ROSTON

The Boston Traveller, a Republican
daily that thinks rather more of pro-
hibition and anti-Catholicism than of
its party. is making itself very miser-
able over its Interpretation of the action
of the authorities at Faribault and Still
water, this state, in accepting the
school houses erected by the Catholics
at a nominal rent for the use of the
public schools. 1t has for some time
past been diffusing its grief at the con-
1iding blindness of the authorities.
and its issue of Oct. II has two
editorial columns devoted to the
subjects. The Boston intellect looks at
it as subtle scheme to infuse Catholi-
cism into the youthful mind and for
perverting the public school into a sec
tartan Institution. 1t understands that
the sisters are to be employed as teach
ers. and little later the priests are to
quietly assume pastoral oversight. 1t
Is to be apprehended that distance lends
magnitude TO very simple affair, and
the Boston publicist is giving him
self unnecessary disquiet. There is
no more danger in Minnesota than
in Massachusetts, that the public schools
shall be perverted to the uses of any re-
Hgious denomination. The law is In
the way, and public sentiment still more
so. Catholics do not expect to have
their religious tenets taught in the pub
lie schools. If they prefer them to
parochial schools it is because they are
more efficient, or that they avoid the
double expense of supporting two sys-
tens. If they are willing to abandon
their parochial in favor of the public
schools, there is no occasion to impute
any narrow and sectarian motive. In
fact, the Boston editor is throwing mis-
siles at his own scarecrow.

YVES the consciousness that uli-
der like circumstances the Repub-
Leans would take that course. The
Democrats have no such intention, and
the governor has authority to speak for
them. Partsans are not usually losing
sleep over their solicitude not to be I'M
fair to the other political fellows, but
the Democrats need not fear to COM
pare records with the Republicans in
this matter. Then, it would be phe-
nomenal luck for the Democrats to
carry both branches of the Iowa legis-

to carry the state for president, and to
