SINCE the Chinese act Of 1892 went
into effect it is said that only 1000
Cinnamon have entered this country
This being the case, It would seem to
be wise course for the coming con-
gress to repeal the Geary law, and en-
act'a law similar to that of 1882, with
strengthen itin any of it's weak points.
Such a movement would be more in
keeping with our pretensions as civ
iliZed, Christian nation.

THE American minister to China
reports that ia an interview with the
the prime minister Of China regard
ing the Geary law, that official stated
that the Chinese government would
treat Americans in China just as the
Chinese were treated in this country.
This simply means that if any step is
taken toward enforcing the Geary
law, that Americans in China will be
subjected to all sorts of indignities,
and that many of them will undoubt-
edly lose their lives in consequence.
Ii Hung, the prime minister is said
to entertain quite friendly feeling
toward this country and desires that
our trade relations be extended, but
he naturally objects to legislation of
such radical nature as the Geary
law, and though he may be willing to
give Americans there as fair treat
ment as possible, will probably not be
able to do SO.

THE Mortified NeaUs remarks that
zone of the features of the
new suffrage law which was recently
wrested from the Belgian Parliament
by the uprising among the working
men is very novel. 1t is the bestowal
of double vote upon every man that
is married or who has attained the
age of thirty-tive. In the former case
he is supposed to represent not mere
ly his own share in the public veal,
but that Of his family; in the latter
he is supposed to have double share
of judgment. We like the double
vote feature so far as the married
man is concerned, but think that one
of the votes ought to be cast by his
wife"

A RUNAWAY.

Akers & Rooney's delivery team
ran away just before dinner. They
started opposite the tub factory, on
Van Brunt street, and the driver
Frank Flanagan, was thrown off OF
the seat as the wagon went over rut
in the street. The horses turned
down to State street and ran into a
tree, breaking the pole and leaving
the wagon behind, and were soon
stopped. Mr.. Flanagan was badly
injured and was put under the care OF
Dr. Waite. -

THE State railroad and Warehouse

THE State railroad and Warehouse
commissioners met in Duluth yester-
day and opened offers which had been
received for sites for the state ware
house. Nine offers were received, and
the prices thereon ranged from $50, 600
to $4,000. The highest figures being
for dock property in the central Sec
tion Of the city. A decision in the
matter will probably not be reached
for a few days yet. There is money in
the treasury that can be used for the
purchase of the site, but that will
take about all the available cash on
hand. The commissioners are report
ed as saying that they expect to make
ARA ngements u secure money enough
to build an elevator in spite of the
fact that the attorney general has de-
cided that according to the terms of
the bill they cannot draw on any of
the funds Of the state. 1t is stated
that they will probably make arrange
mentS with some trust company for
the necessary funds.

THE Great Vest says there ought to
be little education upon the money
question. The Great Vest is right.
There ought to be a good deal of edu-
cation upon that question. The fall
lacy of a free silver 65 cent dollar
ought to be thoroughly impressed up
on the minds of the people. The dan
ger of a state bank issue to the solid
ity of our financial system ought to be
made SO apparent that any attempt
to revive that rascal]y system would
be instantly set down upon. There
ought to be good deal of education
along this line.

FRIDAY MAY &c, 1898.
WHY THIS CHANGE.

During all of the last political cam
paign one Of the burdens Of the Demo
cratic cry was economy in public eX'
penditure. 1t was declared that the
tendency of the Republican party was
to lavishness in public expenditures.
that needless offices were created and
that salaries were as rule too large.
But hardly has the new Democratic
administration established itself in
power, before change comes over
some Of the representatives and we
find the st. Paul Globe, one of the
leading Democratic organs of the
Northwest, and whose editor is hold
ing down a $4,000 foreign mission
while enjoying the balmy bleezes of a
tropical climate, advocating an ill.,
crease Of official salaries. 1t states
that the inadequate salaries paid by
the United States to its leading Off
Gals is strange policy. 1t
thinks that the salary of
the president ought to be
doubled, and that those of our for
eign ministers should be increased to
a point in the neighborhOod of. what
it costs them to maintain their posi-
tionS abroad. 1t speaks Of the large
OUTLAWS that the president and for
eign ministers and other officials are
obliged to make. Instead of declar-
ing such expenditures as opposed to
the principle of Jeffersonian Simplici-
ty, it declares that they are not I'M
democratic, but are necessary and
should be met by Uhe government.
This idea is strict republican view
Of the matter, but sounds a little
strange coming as it does from quar-
ter that asked for the control of the
government that it might return
matters TO state of JefferSOnian SIM
plicity. But perhaps after securing
the offices, that Jeffersonian desire
has been somewhat weakened. Or
perha p it has been found that after
an absence from complete control of
the government for a third of a CEN
tury, there has been change in the
affairs of men to an extent greater |
than they had been aware of.
Another point which the Globe |
makes in regard to the increase of |
these salaries is that "the United |
States is rich enough to pay it's own
way; and that justice demands that
it should do SO with as little delay as
possible" 1t seems by this that the
tariff has not oppressed the people as
one might have been led to suppose by
the campaign stories that were told;
we are not groaning under the great
burdens that were alleged, but we are
rich, prosperous, plenty able to pay |
all our bills, and put on fine appear
ance at home and abroad. 1t begins
to look as though its advent into
power was having broadening effect
upon the Democracy, and that It's idea
Of our great nation was growing.

DURING the last pinety years the

ing the same period the number OF
persons speaking the Russian Ian

about S0,000,000. No other languages
on the globe show anywhere near such

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Two Little Children at St. Clair Burn
ed to Death This Morning.

A terrible and fatal accident haps
pened at St. Clair early Wednesday
resulting in the death of two little
children.
The house of Frank Manage, locat-
ed near the creamery, was set on fire
by the explosion of gasoline as the
hired girl was In the act of filling
1T when it was burning. The two
children of Mr.. Manage were on the
second floor, and as the house was a
small one, the rapid spread of the
flames cut off all retreat, and their
bodies were roasted beyond recOgnl-
ton. One was boy aged ten years
and the other girl aged two years.
The mother saved the third child, an
infant, who was sleeping down stairs,
by throwing it out of the window.
The house and it's contents were
completely destroyed and it was i'm
possible to rescue the children.
Mr.. and Mrs. Manage were sleeping
down stairs and had not arisen when
the explosion occurred. The former
is labOrer and the latter works out.

and says that President Cleveland
never invited him to help toward

was said about the tariff. Possibly
this is what makes Mr.. Wells feel so

The women of the world have no
reason to be ashamed of the Woman S
Congress which was in session at the
Worlds Fair last week. 1t was a
representative body of the women of
today, and 1t will stand out as one OF
the greatest achievements which
women have yet made. Every SUD
ject that is of any interest TO women,
and that embraces about all the sub
jects of interest in the world, was dis
cussed and ably treated, and in the
various languages by the ablest wom-
an specialists. There were f1fty-SeYen
woman'S organizations represented at
this great congress, and half of the
languages of the world were said to
have been employed by the speakers.
The influence therefrom cannot help
but be of a stimulating character,
and if it were lacking before, will
DOW accord for her place in the high
est life and thought Of the world.

The Supreme Court Monday
handed down a decision in St. Paul
assessment case which in some re-
spects is similar to the case of L. g.
M. Fletcher and this city. The word
ing of the syllabus is little blind to
those unlearned in the law, and there
is some difference of opinion on the
case. Mr.. Fletcher holds that the
case is not similar to his and that the
decision has no bearing on his cease.
Some of the attorneys are inclined to
believe that the case is so similar as
to form precedent, in which case the
city would be successful. Two ques-
tiOns were raised, only one Of which is
similar to the local case, being this:
Under the St. Paul city charter, after
which the provision in the MankatO
charter was modelled, is there such pro
vision for the payment Of damages
which may be assessed in favor of the
land owner, for the taking of his land,
that such compensation is secured"
to him as required by the constitution?
The argument of the REALTORS upon
this point is that while by the provi-
Sions of the charter the confirmation
of the assessment of damages COM
pletes the condemnation. SO that the
city may then take possession, no alb
solute duty of paying the damages as
sessed rests upon the city, and that
such compensation can only be made
from the special fund derived from
collections of special assessments.
The supreme court does not admit
the correctness of this premise, but
on the contrary holds that upon the
completion of the condo mnation pro-
ceedings it becomes the absolute duty
of the city to pay within six months
thereafter, the damages awarded.
The council met at the Warren
street culvert Monday and exam
ined the work. The understanding
was when they left that the mortar
along the keystone layer was to be
taken out to see whether the stone
had been laid according to the specifi-
cations. in being not over OF an inch
apart for fifteen inches from the bot
tom. Apparently the specifications
had not been complied with to the
letter in laying these stones, as there
was sometimes space on the upper
side of two or three inches. The
order to have the mortar removed was
countermanded afterwards and this
afternoon the city engineer went to
look into the matter. If the work
fails to meet the specifications he will
have it done over again.

THE New York Herald asked the
question: what are the questions
essential to the development of the
perfect man" In reply thereto,
Chauncey NJ. Depew wrote: THE man
who would answer this question must
be phenomenal egotiSt. he knows
what constitute perfect man, then
he is one, or to be. If he says that he
is, we all know that he lies, and no
man will admit in print his deticien-
moral, intellectual or physical.
A perfect man would be a creature
who could find no congenial compan-
ion in the club, society, business or
politics and no woman would live
with him. So long as we all do the
best we can, according to our lights,
to reach the ideals of our faith We
will get as near perfection as is possi-
BILE IN this world, with reasonable
hope for the next. and still have
enough human weakness not to be an
offense to our neighbors, who are do
ing the best they can. but happily
conscious of their own faults"

HORTICULTURAL ITEMS.

SEND the best fruits in the best order
to the best market.
THERE is no danger of planting too
many apple trees as long as the choice
varieties are selected.
IT is not of so much Importance to
know where fruit originated as to
know whether it is adapted to a given
locality.
THE more vigorously plant grows
the less liable it is to become the prey
of insects. Weak animals and weak
plants both invite attacks of disease
and insects.
A New YORK horticulturist keeps
sheep in his orchard and considers
them the best insecticide he knows Of.
He has pastured his orchard in this way
for fourteen years and it is in good con-
dition.
IT is sometimes advisable to renew
old orchards, especially for small
planters. The work must be done care
fully and the land enriched and culti-
waited thoroughly in order to secure
good results.
A GOOD authority on small fruit cul-
ture has said that in planting a ten
acre tract he would divide it as follows:
Three acres of asparagus; two of straw
berries; two of blackberries, and one
of raspberries, leaving the other two for
buildings, shelter belts and garden

grapes on a small scale can well afford
to do. get my grocer to buy me lot

place each bunch of grapes in one of
these bags as soon as the bloom is off.
The bag is tied with string at the top
so that the bunch of grapes is entirely

ready to pick the grapes Birds, in
sects and fungoid diseases are kept
away from the fruit, and the grapes
come out fully formed and beautiful.
neighbor of mine failed TO produce
satisfactory results in bagging. Why?
Because he waited until the grapes had
grown to be half as large as pea. The
bags must be put on early, just rs soon
as the bloom is over or even before

NEW CURE FOR HEADACHE.
Tapping the Head with the Fingers Often
Gives TempOrarY Relief.

Tapping the Head with the Fingers Often
Gives Temporary Relief.
1t is surprising to what an extent
mechanical vibrations are now en-
ployed to act upon the morbid condi-
tions of the sensitive nervous system,
says the st. Louis Republic. DeBou-
det, of Paris, has been able to produce
local anesthesia by conducting fine
and exceedingly rapid vibrations half
way up the roots of the teeth and to
perform one of the most painful dental
operations, that of extracting the liv-
ing nerves from the teeth, without the
patient feeling any pain. Charcot has
successfully used the vibratory treat
ment for sick headache and for certain
nervous diseases accompanied by pain,
as well as certain mental conditions
accompanied by depression.
A very simple form of this treatment
is recommended by M. Dourdurki of
Moscow. While he was one day exam
lining a patient who was suffering
from an excruciating headache he used
percussion of the Uranium, just as is
done for the chest, to ascertain wheth-
er any material lesion was perceptible.
Two or three minutes after finishing
his examination he was greatly as
tonished to hear his patient say that
the headache had completely disap-
peared. NJ. Dourdoul1i has since prac-
ticed this method with much success,
especially in cases where there was no
apparent cause for headache, or when
it assumed the nervous form. The per-
cussion must be made lightly, with
only one or two fingers, without pro-
ducing any unpleasant or too pro-
nounced sensation, and the intensity
of the taps can be gradually increased.
In this way vibratory massage is ad-
ministered, which is calculated to re-
move the distressing symptoms.
1t is evident that in many cases this
relief can be only momentary, and the
cause of the headache must then be
discovered, in order that cure may
be effected.
