A RooRisH REFoRNER.

William T. Stead. the London editor
who has been sojourning for several
months in this country, is a hobby
writer of the most pronounced type, and
1t is not to be wondered at that he has
got himself into trouble on more than
one occasion. He fancies that it is his
mission to reform the world, especially
that portion of the female world never
mentioned in polite society. In pursuit
of his hobby he some time ago induced
a number OF respectable women in Chi
cage to go stunning" with him, and
took occasion in various public ad-
dresses to enlarge upon the condition Of
the unfortunate and depraved Cyprians
in such plain language as to cause re-
volt among all pure minded people.

OUR PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
A Thorough Restudy of All New
Buildings Necessary

"A 4horouSu HseStuuy Oh All new
Buildings Necessary.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.-The annual
report of jeremiah O'Kourke, supervis-
ing architect of the treasury for the year
ending Sept. 30 last, shows that during
the year the expenditure for the erec-
ton of the federal buildings, including
sites and for the repair and preserva-
ton of finished and occupied federal
buildings, amounted to S4,126, 159. The
contract obligations at the end of the
year amounted to $3.50. 76S The bal
ance of appropriations available
amounted to 50, 232 9S9. of which IS, $780,
l67 was for sites for and construction of
buildings. Mr.. O'Rourke recalls the
fact that although his report covers the
period from Oct. 4, 1892, to Sept. 80,
1898, he did not assume charge OF the
office until April 20, 1898.
On taking charge, ne says, he found
that the plans, and in some cases the
contracts, for the larger public build
ings about to be erected had been hur-
ried through their initiatory stages as
to design, arrangement, etc, while the
bulk of the office work had not been
touched, making prompt and thorough
restudy of all of them a matter OF alb
solUte necessity. This applies, he adds,
more particularly to the important pub
lie buildings at Kansas City, Mo.
Omaha, Neb.: Milwaukee. Wis; ST.
Paul, Mimi; New York, Washington,
etc,

No one will quarrel with Mr.. Stead's
prediction for his particular hobby.
1t is his right to indulge it so long as he
does not offend good taste and public
morality. But he has persIstently done
both. and it is the duty of the public to
squelch him, and to do it most effect

ence of the class whose cause Mr. Stead
Is championing. 1t has existed as long
as the world has had a being, and will
probably continue to exist as long as
time shall last. Some of the women
may be reformed through proper effort,
but not through such exposures as Mr..
Stead has been making. These ex-

Heavy Bonds.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Joseph Dom
jan was arraigned in the police court
today on the charge of sending threat

the evidence OF the vice presidents
clerk and of Charles Mills, son and pri-
vate secretary TO the senator, and the
personal statements of DOMAIN, Judge
Miller bound the prisoner over to wait
the action OF the federal grand jury,
fixing the bail at 3d. 800. In default of
bail DOMAIN was remanded to prison.
In holding the prisoner, the judge was
particularly severe against the class of

made scandalous references to Senators

for travelling expenses to come to

the letter was regarded as of

confessed to him that he had written
the postal card and the letters to the
vice president and Senator Mills, and
had also stated that similar epistles had
been sent to other persons.

manner. He said that his idea in writ

how Senator Sherman had made his
millions. Judge Miller and the attor-

had co-operated with him, but he said
he would not divulge this until the final

THE AIR OF MYSTERY
Surrounding Hawaiian Matters
Causes SpecuIation.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The air of
mystery assumed by the senate CON-
mittee on foreign relations in its Ha-
waiian investigation gives the impress
sion that Senator Morgan's resolution,
under which the Inquiry is held, is only
a cloak under which is held a more i'm
portant inquiry into our diplomatic re-
lations with those islands. There is
reason to believe that, while presum-
ably the present investigation is for in.
formation bearing upon the conduct OF
Stevens and Blount, there will be AN
effort at the same time to obtain any
information which will, in the first
place, prove the capaDility of the ISL
ands for self-government, and in the
second. the desirability or otherwise of
anneXing these islands at some time in
the future.
1t is understood perfectly by members
OF the committee who might have these
Ill view that there is no hope of annex
ing the islands under the present adj
mlnistration; but those who favor this
disposition of the little kingdom do not
intend to be swerved from their purpose
by the fact that one administration is
opposed to this course. Senator Nor
gan, who is chairman of the committee,
mas been scrupulOuSly careful about eX-
pressing opinions upon the Hawaiian
question, manifeSting a disposition to
do OF say nothing which would appear
extra judicial. But he is known to be a
firm believer IN the wisdom of attach
Ing the Islands to this country as part
or 1t, Just as Alaska is at present at
tached, and the fact that he has very
recently introduced a bill in the senate
providing form of government for any
acquired territory lends plausibility TO
the SuppoSitiOn that he is looking for
ward to possibilities far beyond any,
thing included in the resolution UNI
der which the committee is author
lied to conduct its present hearing.
There is plausible explanation of the
origin of the bill, and without some
end like the acquisition Of Hawaii Ill
view, 1t is difficult to find any reason
for its existence. Those who knew MIR,
Morgan best say he is not man to at
tempt to secure legislation to fit a sup
position. 1t would appear probable
that when the committee reports it will,
so far as MIR. Morgan can direct the
character OF the report, smooth over the
events with which they were concerned,
and declare that a closed era. In the
meantime Minister Thurston, who is
now in Hawaii, will have been heard
from as to the capacity of the present
government for temporarily managing
the affairs of the islands, and his infor-
nation with the corroborating testi-
mony which the committee will be able
to get together in the meantime may
have an important bearing upon the
future of the committees inveStiga-

WORK THEM HALF TIME.
Valuable Suggestion of ST. Paul
Man.
To the Editor of the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe.
In a recent issue OF your paper | no.
ticed an editorial headed, "a Practi-
cal Suggestion" touching on the matter
OF municipal charity. In times like
these. with our 100000 persons out of
work in this country. and nearly 2,0OO,-
900 others dependent for support upon
thees,S00, 900, the matter OF charity comes
right home to every man, woman and
child who can possibly render any as
sistanee to the needy. Now, the point
| desire to make is just this: Before
entering into any other work of charity,
it is the bounden duty of every man or
set Of men employing labor to first pro-
tect those in his or their employ. When
hard times come and business is bad
and collections still worse, the first
thought is TO reduce the working force
and then reduce expenses. There is,
believe, way by which this reduction
may be accomplished and still avoid the
discharge of employees. My plan is this:
Instead of dischargiug any Of your help
work them on half time, alternating
from week to week. This will keep
your employees from Want and from be-
coming objects OF charity. for there are
but few families who cannot, if COM
PEELED to do so, live on one-balf the ac-
cuStomed amount AS the manager OF
business house of considerable size in
this city, fully realize how difficult it
is to keep a business on its feet during
these times, but L am working under
the plan above suggested and find that
1t accOmplishes my object in reducing
expenses to minimum and still pro-
VIdes living support for any help. For
the sake OF the wives and little ones de-
pendent upon our employees, and for
the sake of what our employees have
done for US in the past, let US all aim to
keep our forces Intact and thus prevent
the forcing upon the community OF Idle
men-some OF whom would drift Into
the criminal Classes.
