A MISTAKEN WORLD.

The New York World is always a
pushing World; often an enterprising
World; sometimes sarcastic World.
and occasionally iocular World. 1t is
just now very much misinformed and
mistaken World
1t dubs our goodly city an "Unapos-
tolic st. Paul" 1t says that we do not
follow the saints Injunction that What
Soever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things
are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely-if there
be any virtue and if there be any praise
think on these things"
In what have we offended? What
things are true or homes. or just
or lovely or pure on which we have
turned our backs? What is the "head
and front of mine offending?" This
woefully mistaken World sets forth that
we denied that what was lovely be-
cause we took "violept exception to
Mrs. Thurber'S opera ballet;" because
we objected to skirt dancing aud made
Mrs. Thurber hide just one-half of the
truth and loneliness of her dancers be-
fore st. Paul would tolerate them;" be-
cause :''this exemplary city put panta
lettes on its Venus de Mediei and bound
up the legs of its Apollo in the Stars
and Stripes before the young ladies of
the town were permitted to see them.
And, Gaping the pile with an awful
climax, one of our ministers accuses an
other brother before the congregation
no Iu
ter, but actually wrote about it to a
church paper.
How far one must go from home to
learn home news. How vastly minute
is the misinformation needed for quail
fication as editorial writer on the New
York World. How poor st. Paul, SIM
ply because she is the only prominence
in this great Northwest visible from the
sky-scraper of the New York World,
does have to suffer for the sins and
pruderies of others! Behold how short
a tale will put down this villifier. A
state senator from a rural town intro
duced bill prohibiting skirt dancing.
His bill Scraped through the senate and
was consigned to the waste baskets of
the house amid tine jeers and laughter
of the truth and beauty-loving citizens
OF our sanity city. Again, an ambi-
tious village, located on our skirts, gave
an exposition couple of years since, a
feature of which was some sJatuary
showing 1.-THE human form divine" sans
culottes. The village prudes raised
such howl that the managers actually
did drape the statues in cheesecloth.
Once more, a country minister, who
never visits St.Paul except when a con-
ference assemblies here, and he can meet
the drain of a half-fare ticket, a be-
lated arrival in this fin de steele of
soul designed for earth life in the days
when it was crime for a man to kiss
his wife on Sunday, takes a brother
minister to task III his church paper for
having been to theater.
Know, oh worldly World, that st. Paul
is true to the injunctions of our patron
SAINT! We not only think on these
things" but we take into our lives all
that is lovely and pure and honest and
just and tue, and, if the World will
stand the shot. we will show it that we
also obey that other injunction OF our
saint, and take a little wine for our
stomach's sake.

A LIVE SNAKE
Was in Mrs. Almy's Stomach, But

Was in Mrs. Almy's Stomach, But
Now 1t Is Not, and She's Better.
For years Mrs. Mary AImy, of Ingle-
side, n. Y, has been sufferer from a
strange disease, which puzzled the
physicians who were called to attend
her. They found great deal OF diff
Guilty in diagnosing her case, and finally
after many consultations came to the
conclusion tn at she was slowly dying of
slow consum ption.
This was accepted as final, and she
looked forward to death. She grew
very thin, and there was every indica-
ton to lead to the belief that the doctors
had discovered the true cause of her
condition. There was one puZzIing
feature. however, and that was that her
appetite remained good, and at times
she was ravenOusiy hungry.
Wednesday night just before retiring
Mrs. Almy ate heartily of berries, and
4 few minutes later was seized with
ing, and she took a chloroform mixture.
Vomiting followed. and live snake
seven inches long was expelled from
her stomach and started wriggling
across the floor. 1t was secured. and a
physician was sent for. He took charge
of the snake and has it in alcohol on
his Office desk.
Mrs. Almy experienced great relief as
soon as the snake was thrown off, and
since then has gained in weight slight
ly. Her cough has disappeared and her
flesh has taken Oil healthier hue.
The snake is dark green. with brown
spots. and. it is supposed, was taken
into Mrs. Allny's stomach while very
small and grown to its present dimen-
SiOns.

Restrictive and sumptuary laws have
always produced public discomfort and
official decentralization The experience
of Kansas is similar to that of Name

of the liquor traffic has nothing to do
with the right or expediency of prohib-

tobacco habit is pernicious, wasteful and
immoral. and there is a general agree
ment that it is both of the latter. Yet

humanity. but the law would be power

The experiment of trying to make
people moral and righteous by force of
law is not new one. 1t is as old as
the human race. Itwas the first failure
recorded in mans history, and that

constantly repeated throughout the

IF THOSE senators who are protesting
that they wish to get vote on the re-
peal bill, but deprecatingly declare that
the majority cannot bring the question
to vote, that it Is beyond their power,
could hear the comments of their con-
stituents, their expressions of disgust at
this admission of the impotency of a
majority, it might prod them TO some
action which would lodge the power in
the majority that belongs there if re-
publican government means anything
at all.

the action of the house is concerned.
That it will pass the senate alsoscarcely

so much evil and was a constant menace

BY SOME strange chance there floated
onto our exchange table a copy of the
American Economist, which, under this
good name, seeks to spread the doctrine
of waste by protection. We find lot
of letters in it in which the writers
give their reasons why Mckinley should
be elected governor of Ohio. Singularly,
few Of these are from Ohio, and the
most are from states where wishes and
reasons will be alike ineffective. But
among the letters is one from Mime

He is especially DESTROYS of the election
of the diminutive Napoleon because the
Democrats want to flood the country
with cheap foreign-made goods, and
because they want to take away pro-
lection to American labor. We will
wager dollars to doughnuts that when
this doughty lawyer wants to get legal
printed in his home newspaper he
makes the poor printer divide fees with
him, and when he wants suit of
clothes he doesn't give a continental

abroad, provided only that they are the
cheapest he can get. And the fello is

THE senate is seeking to ascertain by
what authority Secretary Carlisle has
undertaken to investigate the manage
ment Of the New York custom house.
If that body is really sincere in the mat
ter, the Secretary's authority may be
found in the oath to which he sub
scribed on assuming his office. That
oath furnishes all the warrant necessary
for undertaking the inquiry in ques-
ton, and such other Investigations as
may in the future be found necessary.

ONE of the Republican candidates for
ajudgeship in Chicago is a man whose
chief strength consists of his popularity
with the anarchistic element of that
city. He has defended anarchism at
the bar and in public assemblages in.
anarchistic districts, and much of his
practice comes from that element of the
population. And yet the Republican
organs of that city continue to inveigh
against Gov. Altgeld because he par
doned three men convicted on doubtful
testimony of having been concerned IN
anarchistic plots. Verify consistency is
not a jewel of which Chicago Repub-
licanS can boast.

TO Panama to investigate. This Investi-
cation disclosed the existence of the
grossest extravaganza. system of
barefaced robbery, and the greatest
culpability. extending SO far as the
bribery of government officials and
members of the French chamber of
deputies. De Lesseps and his son,
together with score of other
persons more or less guilty, were
thrown into prison. There the aged
engineer spent many months in re-
morseful suspense remorSe, how
ever. not due to any sense of personal
dishonesty. for his bitterest foes and
prosecutors have never charged him
with such an offense. He was released
few weeks ago, broken in spirit. His
fortune had been disSipated III the PAN

was married in the height of his re-

become cold, if not hostile. towards
him, and those who had once pinned
their faith to his honesty chided and
neglected him. What wonder, then,
that Ferdinand de Lesseps is broken
hearted, aud that his life is ebbing away
slowly but surely, and that he looks for
ward to dissolution as q happy release
from an existence that. so recently full
OF JOY and contentment, has become a
cup of bitterness?
But, even though he dies dishonored,
history will accord to Ferdinand de Les
