EDITOR HOsKiNs TALKS.
Tells Why They Thought Him
Insane,

Insane.
Editor Hoskins, of the Henning Adj
vocate, who has been having trouble
with the Fergus Falls banks. resulting
in his arrest on the charge of criminal
libel, was in the city yesterday, To a
GLOBE reporter he said:
The insanity proceedings we're too
good. l wanted Erwin to defend me,
and l had to make sort Of play to gain
time, and so | brought the Bible into
court and used that in my defense.
This led them to do just what expected
they would-stop the proceedings and
gave me the time | desired. The pre-
amble of the constitution reads as fol-
lows: we, the Peep lie OF the state
of Minnesota, grateful to Almighty God
for our civil and religious liberty, and
desiring to perpetuate its blessings and
secure the same to ourselves and our
poSterity, do Ordain and establish this
constitution | assumed that this was a
Christian nation, and that all laws in
conflict with the basic principles of
Christianity were unconstitutional. and l
gave them theMosaic. Christian and nat
ural law on the subject of usury, and
concluded if this was the correct view
of the Jewish and Christian theory, and
this is a Christian state. as the pre-
ambIe in the constitution announces;
then there can be no doubt
that any law that recognizes a
corporation organized to pay divi-
bends or t-usury-iseunconsti
tional, against public policy, and the
law that authorizes them null and void.
Certainly q much stronger argument
than this can be made against law that
gives to the lnanimate creation of a
statute, a thing that has no soul to
damn for its insolence, the rights of a
person.
81 may be mad. but they will find there
is method in my madness. l don't as
sums to play the Savior racket, or to
compare myself with Him; but when
He went into the temple and upset the
tables of the money changers they threw
Him into prison, and the Romans claim
that it was that crime they crucifed
Him for, not because He claimed to be

Looks Like a Row.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-There is the max
ing of beautiful row in the meeting
of the Trunk Line and Central Traffic
associations In New York on Wednes-
day. 1t will arise over the declaration
of the Trunk Line association that the
Gland Trunk shall not issue coupon
tickets out of New York after Jan. l.
This is hard blow at the new service
recently inaugurated between Chicago
and New York by the Grand Trunk,
Lackawanua, Lehigh Valley and On

night brought up the trouble by threat
eniug to establish ticket offices of it's
own in New York unless the privileges
given the Grand Trunk were abolished.

REV. CROOKS LECTURES.

Good A. p. A. Style.

He DenOunceS the Catholics IN
Good a. P. A. Style.
Most of those who went last night to
hear a lecture on 1.-THE Loyal Orange
Institution, Its Origin and Principles"
expected to receive information
from Rev. John Crooks, of the
Burr Street Baptist church. of
an historical character, but those
who did were doomed to disap-
pointment, for instead of a historical
review of the society from its origin
until the present time, the reverend
gentleman treated his audience to
long dissertation Oh "Orangism aud
Catholicism" in which the latter got
decidedly the worst of it. Mr.. Crooks
produced his long list of stock argu-
ments with which the public is per-
fectly familiar, making his lecture as
radically anti-Catholic as any A. P. A.
could desire. &
MI Crooks discussed some of the evils
that exist in the world, but suggested
very little in the way of remedy. His
remarks contained insinuating reflec-
tions upon women who work for liv-
ing, not that he deprecated labor. butIcast-
Ing stigma upon them by his lnSinua-
tons of questionable methods to exc out
their small salaries.
The newspapers received their share
of attention. the reverend speakers idea
being that the Catholics control all the
daily papers. He concluded by intro
ducing to the audience Howard Young,
who, on behalf of Garfield lodge, pre-
scented the Sunday school of the First
Baptist church with three beautiful
charts for use1n Sunday school work.

MRS. COSTELLO A winner,
AFTER THE L0Hc FIGHT SHE rs PEN
SLOWED.
MAYOR WRIGHT DIssENrs

Widow of Officer Costello, After a
Long Struggle. Is Placed on
the Pension Rolls-City Attor-
ney Holds That Costello Died
From Injuries Received in the
Service.
A special meeting of the trustees of
the police pension fund was held yester-
day afternoon to consider the granting
OF pension TO the widow of John Cos
tello, died in July, 1892. his death be-
ing attributable to injuries received
while acting as poundmaster at the
Ducas street station in the fall of 1891.
The pension board granted Mrs. Costello
pension of s400 per year, but afterward
reconsidered the action, the question
being raised by Mayor Wright that Cos
tello. at the time of the accident and his
death, was not member of the police
force. AT the meeting yesterday the
corporation attorney filed an opinion
that, under the pension law, Costello
was member of the force, and, il his
death was the result of his injuries, his
widow was entitled to pension.
Drs. Aucker aid Quinn were present
at the meeting, and testified that while
CoSteilo'S death was from tuberculosis.
the accident ard confinement following
probably brought on the disease from
which he died. Capt. Rouleau, of the
DucaS street station, IN answer to ques-
tons by Mayor Wright. testified that
Costello was a hard drinker, and was
too old to be police officer. The cap
tain also testified that Costello had been
ordered to not take hay from the loft to
feed the cows in the pound, and that it
was while doing this that he slipped
and fell from ladder, breaking his
thigh. Mayor Wright, who is chairman
of the pension board, was strongly OPP
posed to the granting of pension to
Mrs. Costello; but the other eight mem
berS of the board did not agree with
him. The mayor said that the fund
should be held sacred to the use for
which it was intended, and i'll his opin-
ion Mrs. Costello had no right on the
roll. Aid. Cullen said that the widow
was in destitute circumstances, and
needed the money more than a number
of those who are now benefited by the
fund. After some discussion it was de-
cided to grant pension of $500 per
year to Mrs. Costello. to date from the
time of her husbands death. All the
members of the board voted for such
action except Mayor Wright. The
amount allowed under the pension law
TO widows of officers is fixed at S400 per
wear as the maximum.

COLUMBIAN STAMPS.

Assistant Postmaster O'Brien made a
reqnisition on the postoffice department
few days ago for more postage stamps,
and was sent large invoice of the
Columbian variety, among which were
100000 two-cent stamps and 100000
one-cent stamps. Accompanying the
stamps was letter stating that the de-
partment has large amount of the
Columbian stamps on hand and sent
them in place of the smaller ones as
asked for. 1t was also stated in the let
ter that the smaller or regular stamps
will be issued again after Jan. l. Mir.
O'Brien says that the people don't want
the large Columbian stamps, and object
to taking them, provided the others can
be secured. They are especially hard
to dispose of among business men. The
st. Paul Office still has complete sets of
the Columbian stamps for the purpose
of fitting out collectors of curios. This
Office and the one In Duluth are the
only ones in the state that have all de-
nominations Of this issue of postage
stamps, the government only allowing
them to be sold at two places in the
state.
