Six Fall Victims of the Tennessee Insane
Hospital Fire.

Hospital Fire.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 14.-Fhe
beautiful Central insane asylum, stu
ated seven miles from this city, is
almost mass of ruins. Beneath it are
the charred bodies of half dozen of the
unfortunate inmates. In the outhouses
near by are hudd}ed the poor, denented
creatures who found an asylum in the
grand old structure now laid in ashes.
The fire was discovered at 10:l5 p. m. in
the west wing, in which there we're
twenty eight patients. Twenty-Five of
these were saved before escape was cut
off. The other six met a fearful fate in
the flames.

THE APPLICATION OF IT.

The local application of this pitiful
story is so obvious that it is perhaps
hardly worth while to call specific at
tentiOn to it. But, lest there are some
people in this city even more belated
in their information than the reverend
gentleman who told the governor yes
terday that not until Thursday last did
he hear there was to be a sparring match
in St. Paul to-day, the GLOBE repeats
for the general enlightenment that
there is law in the Minnesota general
statute books making priz fights, with
or without gloves, illegal, and punisha-
ble by fine and imprisonment. There
is also advertised to take place this
evening, and in this county, an exhibit
ton of the manly art which comes clearly
within the ban of this law. These two
things are as certain as that there was
king and fire in the sad chapter just
repeated from the history of Spain.
There are also in this state as many
officers charged with the execution of
the laws as there ever were grandeeS in
Madrid. There is robust and hearty
governor at the capitol. as we'll as a
handsome and efficient attorney gen
eral. There is mayor in st. Paul Of ex-
ceptionaI ability and force of character.
There is a county attorney who knows
the laW-if any man dOes-and a city at
tOrney who is at Ouce a great orator,
good fellow, and profound student of
his profession. There are six judges of
the district court, who get $1,000 a year
and earn every cent of it, and two
Judges of the municipal court whose
salaries ara almost as large, and who
combine experience with efficiency.
There is chief of police. himself the
finest of a great body of finest almost as
fine as he. And last, but not least,
there is soldier sheriff who
| knows his business, with countless
deputies and the whole town to draw
| on if a posse is needed to assist him.
And yet. in spite of all this. all the sages
and philosophers in the limits of this
great legal center cannot for their
lives tell whose place it is to act in this
alarming exigency. The judges of the
courts say it is not theirs. The mayor
says that it is not his, because public
| opinion does not demand it. The gov
ernOr says that he is sorry, but all he
can do is to write a proclamation. And
the soldier sheriff scratches his head
and says that he does not know whether
it is his or not, but thinks that he will
consult lawyer.
All this shows how great a thing
republican form of government
is, and also how complicated a thing.
Liberty is indeed surrounded by checks
and limitations so that her person may
not be wantonly violated.

ment to give the industry birth
He would add perhaps as much
more. 1t is not disputed that viz
tually prohibitory tariff will induce the
production of so much home tinwale as
the trust that will regulate it shall deem
for its interest. The indications are not
hopeful that tin plate will be extensively
manufactured in this country by virtue
of the present tariff. Should it be. it is
quite certain that the higher prices
caused by the tariff will be maintained.
The people will continue to pay from
SD, 900 to $40, OOO,O 900 year more for
their tin consumption than under the
old tariff. Other industries that use it
largely will be buTdened or crippled by
the increased cost. The benefciaries
will be nearly confined to the MEM
bers of the trust that controls the
manufacture, most of the labor
will be brought from Wales, and it will
not be paid high wages. The grower of
grains and producer of food supplies in
the West will look in vain for any COM
pensatiOns for the added burden of fif-
teen millions or more year he has
part in the meeting. The principle is
wrong. and Its operation works injustice
to the many. 1t is conceded that tin
plate can be manufactured in this
country, and all will be glad to see it
success if it can be made without impo-
sitiOn upon the public.

ENFORCE THE LAW,

The law prohibits prize fighting, even
when gloves are used. Those concerned
in the proposed ''mill' tonight say they
did not know this. But ignorance of
the law is no defense for the trans
gressor. Every citizen is supposed to
know the law; it is his duty to know it.
If he does not, he should accept the
consequences of his ignorance without
complaint. To do otherwise is simply
to plead the baby act, and to receive a
merited spanking besides.
The governor says the laws shall be
enforced. This is his plain duty. He
took a solemn oath that he would en-
force the laws when ne was installed in
the Office of chief executive Of the state.
1t is presumed that the governor under
stands his duty to cover the enforce
ment Of the law against prize fighting
wherever and whenever violated within
the state, and not merely in this single
case where leading and reputable citi-
Zens have undertaken to engage in
diSreputable transaction under cover
of a laudable object. The governor
knows that this same law is violated, in
. the most WantOn manner, every week in
the year, in a sinkhOle of vice and
pollution in this city. Does he mean to
hereafter enforce the law in this case,
too? Or is fish to be made of the one
and fowl of the other? Is it a greater
sin to allow two brutes to punch each
other ''tO finish," surrounded by the
canopy of respectable names. than to
allow the grOsSest Immoralities to be
practiced nightly in violation of the
same law by thugs, gamblers and pros
titutes of both sexes without disguise?
In pIedgmg the enforcement of the
law the governor has performed plain
and simple duty. He deserves no praise
for this. but he does deserve and should
receive the hearty and determined
backing of all law-abiding citizens. His
hands should be unstinUingly upheld IN
the dignifed and steady enforcement of
the law. No mere spasm of virtue will
answer; the light must burn with a
steady flame. No partiaIity must be

PERTAINING TO WOMEN.

Mrs. Mackay's famous portrait by
MISSIONER, which was once said to have
been destroyed, hangs in her house in
Carlton House Terrace.
A case was recently tried at Douglas,
Wyo., before a jury composed wholly
of women, Mrs. lngerSoll, who keeps
the hotel at Douglas. being sued by two
of her servant girls for their wages.
The jury gave Judgment for the girls.
The trial attracted much attention, as
jury composed exclusively of women
was an unusual sight. The case has
been appealed.
The chief animal dealer of this coun-
try is young Irish woman. She has

She has her headquarters in one of the

The ladies who were present at the
literary wOmen's dinner" in London

waiter discreetly closed the doors. One
fair fumeuse lighted her cigarette in
true man-like fashion by striking the
match on her bOotheel. The toasts at
the dinner were drunk in coffee, and the
speeches were clever and witty.
The women in Prussia, according to
statistical reports, far outnumber the
men. The latest estimates show diff
ference of almost 100000 in favor of the
women. To the great regret of the fair
sex, each year shows larger increase
in the excess OF the number of women.
In 1867 there were only 229, 415 more
women than men in Prussia. At pres-
ent, of every 1000 persons, 1909 are
men and 500. are women. The proper
tiOns are about the same in the city and
i'll the country.
Brooklyn women have come 10 the
front in al enterprise which will have
the approval of every one. The new
step is one taken by the Young Woman's
Christian Association of Brooklyn. The
idea is to open a medical Office in one of
the rooms of the building, where, at
certain hours, working girls may be
treated at very small fees. In Berlin
there is union where medical treat
ment can be obtained for women with
little money. Girls working for s. or s.
a week can take advantage of this offer
and be relieved of painful maladies
from which they often suffer for months
because they have not sufficient money
to obtain the necessary treatment.

SITTING NEEDED.

A gentleman from the South, per-
haps Confederate soldier, who was in
attendance at the editorial convention
in this city, visited Fargo afterwards,
and the Argus in an interview has him
relate that while at st. Paul a soldier of
the Sixth Minnesota. in a somewhat
irritating way, reminded him that 1--WE
'uns licked you 'uns. after ALL" The
retOrt was that while that was true
the North lost the flower of its army,
and about all not killed were crippled.
as shown by the enormous pension list.
The Argus thought the reply good.
Judging from this criterion, the history
of the world will afford no parallel to
thes physical impairment caused by
the war. 1t would seem that there
could be few survivors of the army not
on the pension roll or among the appIi-
cants. Yet one has but to look
about almost any community to
note that the old soldiers are
exceedingly numerous among the
prosperous and wealthy citizens. 1t is
reasonable that they should have a
larger share than others of their time in
the good things of life, as they were the
most alert and vigorous of the young
men of the land in the war time. 1t is
believed that much larger proportion
of them have acquired property than of
those who did not volunteer when the
nation needed soldiers. 1t is not to be
presumed that many of these who have
been so fortunate i'm business and af-
fairs have sought the pension. Yet

STILL TIN-KLING.

Some OF the tin-plate rOmancers affect
to confront the objections to the MCKIN-

gliSh papers that it is possible to manu-
facture tinware in this country. The
assumption goes with it, if itnot direct

the charge. No well informed person

native or naturalized, to manufacture
anything in the range of the arts not alb
sOlutely forbidden by natural condi-
tiOns. The material is ample IN this
country, and the capital and skill can
be had if the environments are
made sufficiently propitious. The
question of fact comes in as to
the existence of the manufacture
already or its establishment at all under
the present tariff. Here is where the
tin plate discarder of veracity gets in
his main work. He fancies that the
mills are rising and the machinery being
put up in half the cities OF the country.
The other side insists that the most ex-
haustive detective work has been IN
able to bring any of these to the evil
dence Of the senses. An occasional tin
plate expert, in moments of candor,
admits that the industry is not inateri-
alizing and asserts that the need is more
tariff. In MS view the adding of - or
81 per cent 10 the market price
does not afford sufficient nourish.

CINCINNATI, July 21.-ThiS afternoon
at the close of 'change hours, Vice Pres

board of directors of the chamber of

brief speech announcing the senator,
who responded as follows:
'Gentlemen and Fellow Members
1t seems that when | come to Cincinnati
to report, as is my custom once year,
it is incumbent upon me, or at least your
officers think it is, to come upon the
floor of the exchange, Of which you
have kindly made me a member, and

want to say to you that all the issues of
the day are business issues.
II am not going to talk politics, but
there are issues that appeal to the bust
ness man. whether he be Democrat or
Republican. The mode of levying
taxes will always cause differences Of
opinion, and parties will always divide
upon the question of how shall money
be raised to support the government,
and so the mode of IeVying the
taxes interests you all. Now the
question is, Is the way that
we have done it wise one?
Take the question of the development
and protection of sugar. We are eX-
perimenting with the production of
sugar by means of the beet, as we'll as
with cane. There is the question of tin.
We hear a good deal about tin hOras and
the like. We consume about 100000 tons
of tin. Now the tin of commerce is
about % per cent iron, and the Ques-
ton is to produce our own tin, and
we are experimenting TO that end.
There is also the question OF reciprocity
with nations in the special arrangements
by which re can get articles free which
we do not produce ourselves, by recip-
rocatiug with other nations Oh some
thing which they cannot produce.
Then you have also the question of
silver issue, which touches the pocket
of all business men,"
