TO RUIN A DOCTOR.
Columbus Higher Social Circles
Stirred Up by a Sensa-
tiOnal Arrest.
A Woman Charged With Attempt
ing to Blacken Physicians
Reputation.

COLUMBUS, o., March 15.-MOst out
rageous attempts to blacken the reputa-
ton OF Dr. w. j. Means, one of the
leading physicians of this city, have
been made from time to time for several
months past, and tonight woman
charged with the crime was arrested.
The affair is the most sensational
that has stirred the higher social
circles of Columbus for some time. The
plan pursued to accomplish the ruin of
DR.. Means has been systematic one.
At frequent intervals letters have been
sent to Mrs. Means charging the doctor
with having outraged the wri ter and
demanding money. Besides this, let
tiers alleging the vilest crimes
upon the part or the doctor
have been sent to other physicians and
to the leading society people OF the city.
These letters would invariably be sent
just before some social gathering which
DR.. and Mrs. Means would probably at
tend. These missives all passed into
the hands of DIR. Means attorneys, and
it Is their work that has led to the arrest
of Mrs. Alice G. Patton. of $50 City Park
avenue, upon the charge of blackmall.
The accused was taken before Justice
Parsons, where she gave bail i'll the sum
OF $500 to appear next Tuesday.
Mrs. Patten is about forty years old,
and claims to be niece of Col. A. q.
Patton, the penitsntiary contractor, and
also claims relationship with the late
James q. Blaine. The latter claim
assisted III her arrest. The attorneys
for Dr.. Means had letters written to her
saying that history of Blaine was
being written and asking for any facts
she had in regard to him. Stamps
were enclosed for reply. The
letter received in response to this was
compared with the Matchmaking letter.
and the handwriting was found to be
similar. In,addition to this, pretended
canvasser for a city directory visited
Mrs. Patton. The canvasSer had no ink
in his new fountain pen, and she po-
litely filled it up for him. This ink,
being analysed, was found to be identic-
al with that used in letters sent by Mrs.
Means.

To Punish Tramps,

Mankato Review.
The Twin City papers tell US that the
charter commission will probably adopt
for the general charter the New Ulm
plan for dealing with tramps; ut gives
the municipal judges power to sentence
prisoners to bread and water diet, and
it is used in the Brown county seat to
keep away tramps. The unwary way
farer who drifts into the Teutonic
city by the Minnesota is placed on
this slim diet, end incidentally set to
work on the road. But in order that it
may not arouse the Indignation of the
sentimental humanitarian, it is provided
that on the fifth day the culprit shall
have a square meal. But about the third
or fourth day the road overseer grows
lax, purposely perhaps, and the prisoner
escapes" OF course this is popular, but
is it right? Ii men are to be condemned
to work upon the streets for no other
offense than that they are tramps, they
ought to be given food at least as good
as is melted out to the cOnvicts i'll the
penitentiary. 1t is not creditable to the
commission, nor to the legislature, to
adopt such a regulation.

Corporations, having no souls, never
Sleep. They work tirelessly for the
ends sought. They turn from one de
feat to fresh assault by other routes.
The people, having souls. sleep. They
rouse to some mighty effort and then
rest. The corporations work while the
people rest. The result is well-nigh
universal corporate domination.
Corporations hold nothing sacred but
vested rights. They corrupt or wheedle
legislatures or councils into grants or
concessions of privileges which become
forthwith vested rights. The constitu-
ton says that no law shall impair the
obligation OF contracts. The courts
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-03-16

have applied this restriction to acts OF
the legislatures. Their grants of privi-
leges become contracts, rendered invul-
nerable by the constitution. The ere
ated become master of the creator. The
corporations, therefore, esteem courts
highly.
Certain corporate influences in this
state sought to control the judicial NOM
nations i'll the Republican convention.
They failed. Then they reached into
the Democratic convention and failed
there. The Democrats resented the
dictatiOn. They named two candidates
fresh from the people; in touch and
sympathy with them; not so long re-
moved from them as 10 be senSelesS Of
their wishes and interests. The people
OF the state ratified the selection of the
Democrats. The new judges go on the
bench al the opening of the next year.
The people rested from their efforts.
Not so the corporations. Three Demo
cratic judges might have Democratic
notions about the power of the legiSla-
ture to bind the people perpetually;
they might even have doubts of the
application of the restriction of the con-
stitution to acts of the legislature. That
would be very discOncerting. SO in
corporate quarters q tender solicitude
for the supreme court is now evinced.
The judges are overworked. Their
number should be increased.
That is what the GREER bill for APP
pellate courts means. 1t is a rounda-
bout way, you think? Cats approach
an object sideways until ready to
spring. When the amendment is of
tered TO increase the justices in place
of making intermediate appellate
courts, the cat will have jumped.

Possibilities of Compound Interest

NOW 1OIh 1IlOuLC.
An Idaho correspondent sends pho
tograph of an old Idaho mortgage which
shows in startling way the amazing
possibilities of compound interest. The
mortgage was executed in 1861 Oh a
piece of land in Boise City Ito secure
the sum of $40. if paid in legal tender,
with interest at the rate of 20 per cent
per month.
"But if said note shall be paid, :.
then the sum of $40, with interest at
10 per cent per month, and if said inter-
est is not paid at the time of maturity
OF this note, said interest to be added to
the principal, and SAID principal and
interest together shall draw interest
per month as above stated"
These conditions were evidently not
fulfilled, for note is appended to the
document as follows: "The above.
mortgage is not satisfied, according to
the records of Ada county. With inter-
est on $40 at 10 per cent per month,
compounded every six months, the
debt would now amount to S45, 1872. 009,
1S2, S26.50."
There are great many miilionaires
in the country, but there is probably
only one man in the world who is
indebted in the sum of nearly SAC, 000,-
DOC, 900. 900.

ASHES OF A CHILD
Awaiting n Claimant in st. Louis
Freight House.

ST. LOUIS, March 15.-One OF the
most pathetic incidents in the his
tory of raiIroading has just come
to light. 1t is nothing less than
the mortal remains Of beautiful
little girl about four years of age.
The remains were cremated and placed
III Il handsome urn. OrnanenLed by all
enameled photograph. The name of
the child and its parents, whence the
ashes came or whittier sent are all
mysteries. This urn is now III the I'M
claimed freight department on Frank
lin avenue, in this city. For three
years this box has lain among
the debris of hundred railway wrecks,
and it was only recently the discovery
was made that the urn was anything
more than an ordinary vase for flowers.
The box which contains this urn bears
the directions: "Rev. DIR. w. III. Jen
nings, Longer. Tex. Glass Handle
with care" There is no such place in
Texas, so the agent tried Long View
without success. The box was sent
probably from Pittsburg. or some Penn
sylyania point near there.

A New CapitOl.

Red Wing Republican.
A good many country editors have de-
clared that Minnesota does not need a
new capitol. Not one has said, to our
knowledge. that the state will not need
one in ten years.
No man is so foolish, though not wise
enough to be ALI editor, as to think a
state capitol should be located, planned,
designed. contracted for, built, finished
and equipped inside of ten years.
Our brethren seem to US to hardly
conceive the case which faces the MEM
berS of the legislature. 1t is not too
early to begin the ten-year work OF fur
nishing the state commOdiOus, con-
venient, well-located. weil-designed,
well-buiIt, well-ventilated capitol, to be
paid for as built.

BosToN. March 15.-Preside Nc
Leod, of the New York & New England
road, makes the following statement re-
garding the attachment placed upon the
company's rolling stock at East Hart
ford this afternoon:
The counsel of the company IN Hart
ford, Immediately after the attachment,
endeavored to ascertain the amount
claimed and offered draft upon the
company's treasury in payment Of the
balance due, according to the company'S
books. it being impossible to furnish
the actual bills at so late an hour.
The books of the auditor show that there
is due Messrs. Stickney, Cunningham IL
Co. the sum OF S42.357. for which no de-
mand has ever been made upon the
company, so far as / am able to learn.
[ am convinced that this is but another
effort of persons interested in opposition
roads to cripple the public service of
this company and to make further un-
warranted attacks upon it."

fatal results. The countess and maid

MEM CAPITOL PROSPECT.


The prospect that the capitol bill will
pass the house looks encouraging. Yes
terday afternoon its consideration by
sections was begun, and before adjourn
ment the first section was adopted.
This afternoon the work will be re-
sumed. 1t is gratifying to note that the
burden of the contest is not borne by
the Ramsey county delegation alone.
Strong men halling from all parts of the
state, equipped with facts and figures,
brushed away as a cobweb the state
poverty cry. They spoke with clear
ness which showed that they had taken
the time to learn the truth. The mem
berS of the Hennepin delegation, with
one exception, are among the many who
realize the states great need and the
puerility of the poverty plea. There
was a display of manliness on the part
of the majority which indicates that the
effort to defeat the bill by playing upon
prejudice has failed OF its mark.
1t was shown by the state statistics
that the tax of two-tenths of a mill will
amount to less than 10 cents year for
each farm in the state-a total of dol
lar in ten years. Hennepin county will
pay 50 cents for each piece of property.
GoOdhue county will pay less than S
cents year on each PAL eel of property,
and Crow Wing and Swift counties will
each pay cents year on each farm
and piece of town property. This is
the way it runs throughout the state,
and in no place will the amount for a
farm be above 10 cents a year.
Representative BoGGS, of Duluth
went over the field so fully and clearly
as to leave nothing for the opposition TO
stand upon, except a determination TO
do as they pleased in the matter.
Mr.. VANsANT, of Winona, in second
ing Mr.. BoGGs' motion, made a telling
speech, in which he showed the great
ness of Minnesota. He brushed away
the argument that the state is new and
poor, and proved that it is one of the
richest states in the Union. and far too
old to put up with the structure which
does service as q state capitol.
These gentlemen were followed by
many others from localities far away
from st. Paul, who also spoke with
power.
Gov. MERRIAM, who, it is admitted
by every one, Is one of the abIest finan-
ciers in the state, showed in his last
annual report that Minnesota is in a
most prosperous condition, and proved
beyond question that the state tax could
be reduced some eight-tenths of a mill
No one will presume to question the
accuracy of this report. All the capitol
bill asks is twO-tenths of a mill. If that
were to be levied this year, the people
would be six-tenths of mill better OFF
than they were last year. But the tax is
not to be levied until 1895, and by that
time the state tax will be reduced still
further.
Minnesota is progressing she is not go
ing backward. She must have a credit
able state capitol. In that respect she
is far behind every state of her age. and
not up to several states which are much
younger. Iowa has a capitol which
cost S6,0O0,OOO, and the work was begun
over twenty years ago. Minnesota must,
if the bill is passed, do without cred
liable capitol for twelve years; she can
not afford to do so any longer.
