Nelson Bennett Hits the Preachers.

TACOMA, April l6.-iSpecial 1.-The Ministerial
Alliance and the Hon. Nelson Bennett are try
ing the Sunday saloon closing question In the
daily papers. At a recent meeting OF the
chamber Mr. Bennett introduced resolutions,
stating that the people viewed with greater
alarm the tendency of the church to NEEDLE
with the affairs Of state, than any crime. The
resolutions were in reply to the objections raised
by the ministers 10 the Chamber of Commerce,
on ''behalf OF the people," inviting the National
Brewers Association 10 visit the city The
president of the alliance replied in lengthy
communication, declaring that the union
OF the ''millionaires and the state was
much more to be dreaded than the
union of the state and the church.
The Ne,rs this evening published Mr.. Benefits
reply, which concludes thus: "As to your allu-
sion to 'millionaires,' viii ask how many OF
you gentlemen refuse an increase OF salary?

SAN Francisco, April l6.-It has been raining
here all day. Reports from various sections of

benefit to crops.

this morning and still continues, with no sign
OF cessation. The rain is warm and gentle, and

all kinds promise to yield abundantly. The

crops generally are looking well on the east side
of the valley, but on the west side the crop is

though the apricot crop will be light. Grapes
are coming on finely, though too early to esti

good grain crop.
SAN JOSE, CAL, April l6.-Rain began falling at

since. The barometer is falling rapidly, and
there is every indication of heavy storm. The

The record Of that day has remained green

and it has been shield many times against

that New York City is now urging the ma

patriotic outlay in the sum Of e, cl3 o0o-a

with interest, the money which, in q mo-
ment Of enthusiasm. it freely gave for the
cause of the Union. The local judgment
of the validity and decency of this claim is
demonstrated by the fact that it has been
put in the hands of attorneys to whom the
enormous fee of seven and one-haif per
cent. is contingentIy offered.
New York ought to be ashamed to put
forth this demand.

OF this latter character, possibly and
probably, were some of the Kansas exhi-
billions Of female difference and indie
pendence. They may have differed and
antagonized just to show that they could.
But that sort, when il ceases to be novel,
will soon wear itself out. But the inde-
pendent action which came. of honest
and intelligent difference of opinion and
sense Of citizens duty viii grow by what
it feeds upon and will be lasting
But such is the perversity of human
nature that this exhibition of willful in
dependence may postpone the time when
the votes of men will extend the suffrage
to women. To some men the idea is much
more agreeable that they are oaks-even
scrub oaks-with vines necessarily cling

AN OLD THEORY STRAINED.

Analysis of the female vote in the recent
city elections in Kansas displays some sur
prises. In many cases-at the capital, To-
poka, particularly--the matrons antago-
nized their husbands, whom they detected
putting up combinations which they did
not approve. In many instances Demo-
cratic candidates were defeated by votes
cast by the wives OF Democrats, and Repub-
hcan candidates by the sufTrages of women
whose husbands were Republicans.
To many who think and judge super
ficially this has been matter of surprise.
Ii negatives the assumption, which has
found quite general acceptance, that wives
in politics would be controlled by their
husbands. Ii has been noticeable, however
If not universally noticed-that this
assumption has been much more general
among bachelors than among henedicts.
The latter, perhaps. have had more reason
than the former TO observe that this as
sumption is at odds with the spirit of the
age. Not the least marked characteristic
of this progressive spirit has been the
growing tendency of good and intelligent
wives and husbands of the same descrip-
ton TO think independently of each other
on matters not necessarily involved in the
marital relation. and in rare cases, per-
haps, where there is such involvement
The old notion of ''the sturdy oak and
the clinging vine" as enIhlematie Of ali the
phases Of welded relationship has TO
large extent fallen into condition Of
'Ganocuous desuetude." The intelligent
world has come 10 admit what il has all
along known, that there are oaks and
caks-the stunted, scrubby sort, no less
than the lofty and the noble, and that
health, strength and independent oapaci-
ties. And unhappily there be stubborn
vines which iii sheer willtalness cast loose

GARBAGE ACCUMULaTEs
And the Health Department Has
No Place to Put 1t.

1t behooves the Hennepin deleg alton
to act quickly on that bill comforting
upon the health department of Mime
apolis the power to make contracts for
the disposition of garbage. BY an error
in the old law. the health department
has no such power. Until it gets it, the
garbage cannot be hauled out of the
city. As for disp0sing of the city's
waste inside the corporate limits,
that is entirely out of the queS-
ton. The people of Minneapolis seem
to have conceived the idea that the
health department is the city's worst
enemy-mOre even than William Pitt
Murray or j. j. McCafferty. Every time
the health department. makes move,
the people jump to their feet and fight
it. This disposition on the part of the
people has left the department without
q method for dispOsing of the gar
bage. When DR.. KilvingtOn be-
came health commissioner hs had
a couple of dumps. The public
was closed. There is not one in exist
ence now, nor is there any other avail
able means for getting rid of the waste.
All that can be done is 10 let the gar
bage lie where it is. But spring is ap-
proac hing. The advent OF warm
weat her will neceSsitate the removal of
the garbage or public health will suffer.
Where will it go? No where unless
