VIEWS OF STATE EDITORS.

The ST. Paul Globe opposes the ap-s
preparation of $500 TO: a hen house at
the North Dakota insane asylum. This
is not giving encouragement to a.
neighborly industry. Hensforth, when

and lodging at this eggselleht inStltu4s
ton, he will be met by the public boot
toe, with the stern Injunction: Get
thee hens. Fargo Argus. =
st. Paul is kicking itself all over for
its shortsightedness with reference to
the census troubles last summer. As
result OF the fracas it kicked up Mime
sofa loses representative in congress,
and is thus deprived for ten years of
what in all fairness it ought to have.G
The Pioneer Press comes in for the
greater part of the kicking. which most
of its citizens believe it ri chilly deserves.

The legislature has done very we'll so
far. No great reforms have been ac-
compliShed, to be sure: but, on the other
hand, nothing very rash has been done.
Legislating is something like editing a
newspaper-the merit Of the editors
work should be Judged not by what he
publishes, but by what he throws into
the waste basket.-Duluth News.
We should like very much to see some
member of the legislature introduce a
bill to provide for Minnesota exhibit
at the worlds fair. We do not want to
see a niggardly appropriation, either.
This is large and growing state, and
as a people we ought to look upon the
worlds fair as one in which we are di
rectly interested. Weought to allow no
state OF our size to Guido us Oh that oc-
caSion. And we want Minnesota to APP
pear there in holiday attire, so that when
our people go down there they Will not
find it necessary to blush or deny that
they belong here..St. Peter Herald.
Some of our Legislators seem to intro
duce bills just for the fun of the thing,
when there is no earthly need of them
and little, if any, show of their passing.
Once in a while some OF these measures
escape the scrutiny of the more sensible
members and become laws and then
future members will wonder what in
thunder they were ever passed for. but
the practice will not stop and at each
successive session another batch will go
through Sibley Independent.
1t is in perfect accord with the logic
of events that the present Minnesota
legislature should resolve itself into
committee of general investigation.

GAu, HAMTLTON's BOOK.

GAIL HAMILToN's book on Bible in
depreciation is selling well up in the
thousands. and seems likely to meet
cultured public as greeted Robert
Elsmere." The large circulation books
of this kind enjoy is founded on the
same sort of feeling which warrants
the big editions of white-bound volumes
whose covers are illuminated by pict
ures of men and women in positions of
erotic suggestiveness. This does not
mean that the same sort of people read
one as read the other. or that their liter
airy qualities and serious merits are on
par. But. in general. they appeal to
the sense of the improper. One grade
of readers, whose standard is
rather low, buys the translatiens of
French tawdriness, because they hope
to find there some qualification
of their interest in the forbid
den and morally Irregular. Another
grade. whose taste is higher, buys Rot
ert Elsmere'' or Mr.. MCQUEARY' book
on-theoaogy or GAIL HANILToN's eriti-
cism of the Scriptures. because they
think that they are the least bit shock
ing III their radicalism, and that some
one of conventional views would be
surprised and grieyed to find them in
their libraries. Both of these styles of
conduct are as old as time. The love-
lorn damsels of an earlier age peeped be-
meath the covers of ''Peregrine Pickle
or tom Jones" when they thought no
one was looking, and if detected were
at once confused and gratifed: and the
staid vestryman of his day chuckied
in furtive glee over HUMPS crude
assaults On miracles. The only differ
ence is that our pepper is little more
spicy than theirs used to be. The eter-
hal truths of morality and revelation
seem, however, to maintain their su-
premacy undisturbed.

public thought. His first appearance
before an American public was in the
spring of 1856, when he was doing Kan

st. Louis Democrat, which was a great
champion of the free state cause. RED

WILL REMAIN DRY.

While the good people who believe
that legal prohibition is essential to
sobriety have had little to eliven them
Of late, they may look to North Dakota
with some confidence as a state that
will come nearer making success of
their method than has been found else
where for any considerable period.
They have it planted solidly in the con-
stitution, and bedged in by so many
barriers that small effort, comparatively,
can shield it from the most vehement
attacks. 1t was voted into the constitu-
ton by trifting margin, and it is be-
lieyed that majority Of the voters are
opposed to its retention. This may be
inferred from the fact that the prohibit
tionists draw the line on resubmisSion,
and refuse to allow new expression Of
the people, One of the greatest legiS-
latiye contests of the present session
is being Waged over this question. 1t is
evident, however, that the reSubmis-
sion move will come little short of
success, although some of the most
conspicuous workers on the other side
would like to be defeated. They pose
as prohibtionists simply to hold their
districts. But it is long and tedious
way to excise a provision of the con-
stitution, even if it has few friends. A
majority must be had III each house of
the legislature for the repeal. Then it
must lie spread before the people, and
two years later another Legislature
must repeat the Endorsement and pro-
vide for vote Of the people. No mat
ter how overwhelming the sentiment in
favor of change, 1t must wait this long
process. taking four years unless by
special election year or so is cut off.
All this time the thirsty must wait
and get no soIace. The supreme court
of the state has recently given its stamp
and benedietion to the statute. which
provides harsher fate for the vender
than is dispensed to the reckless pile
botomist in many states. All the
dispenSaries have been closed and
sealed up. For tue first time
this is the arid condition at Bis
marck and other prominent towns.

began in a thoroughly organized man

prosecution of violators of the prohibi-

not to organize with larger number,

enlisted. Evidence was prepared IN
abundance and in April prosecutions
were begun. A great many people,
and many of them prominent business
men, objected, but the courts were not

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, July 24.-Colonel
VIM. IL. Merritt, of Des Moines, died
here yesterday morning at the resi-

death, which was not unexpected, as
he had received several shocks before.
He was II years old and well known
all over the state. He formerly lived
in Dubuque and later in Cedar Rapids,
but had resided in Des MONIES since
1855. He enlisted in the army from
Cedar Rapids, and was made lieuten-
ant-colonel of the First Iowa infantry.
Later he was made member of Gen
eral McClellan's staff. He was n can

DISTRIBUTING A MISER'S HOARD
Heirs of n Frugal st. Louis Man TO Receive
Hundred Thousand Dollars.


ST. LOUIS, July 24.-An order Of dis
tribu.ion of the estate of George C.
Hayden, the eccentric miser, was made
by the probate court today. The
estate has SOL, ,625 to its credit. The
Iegatees are a half brother and a num-
sr of nephews am neices of the testa-
tor who live at Bagoy Ne. Hayden, 70
years of age, died in apparently desti-
tute circumstances March 25, 1889. The
public administrator took possession of
his effects and found money and securi-
ties amounting TO over Sl0l 900. Heirs
sprang up from various parts of the
country, but particularly from Bangor,
Me, the old mans boyhood home, and
from Chicago. The Chicago heir, Mrs.
Anna Cascaden, claimed that Hayden
married her mother, Rosanna Parrish,
at Bangor, in 1874 or ls+5, and that
shortly after her birth Hayden left his
wife and infant child and wandered
away TO parts unknown. Mrs. Casca-
den could not prove her claim, and the
| court decided she was not an heir. The
claimants from Maine established the
fact that they were the children and
grandchildren of Hayden's two sisters
and a half-brother, and the court de-
cided in their favor and ordered the
| estate paid To them. The grandnieces
and nephews get one-forty-tifth each.
The estate is all in money, and the
grandnephews and neices will get q
check for 81, ESQ each.
