CORRUPTION IN REPUBLICS AND MONARCH
les.

The revelations relative to the Pana-
ma canal fraud in France are being used
by the enemies of popular government
to create the impression that corruption
and jobbery are the natural results of a
republican form of government. In
France the most is being made of the
scandal, to the end that public conf
dence may be destroyed in the present
republic and a monarchy substituted.
History is the other way. DespOtism
has always been corrupt. The more alb
sOlnte the government, as a rule. the
greater is official corruption. The pres
ent condition of France. with its public
debt of $4,000, 0O0, 900 or more, is largely
the result of monarchical corruption.
Napoleon III sought war with Germany,
was discovered that they had neither or
ganization. leadership nor equipment. be-
cause favoritism and corruption had per-
meated every branch of the service.
France had men and patriotism in its
army. but it lacked leaders. its regiments
carried inferior arms and ammunition,
and it's commissary was both inefficient
and inadequate. Germany triumphed
and compelled the payment of IN in
demnity which constitutes the larger
part of the present public debt and is
greater burden upon the French people
than dozen Panama swindles could be.
Official Russia, Turkey and Spain are
corrupt. Germany has escaped because
it has been kept pure by the ability, in
tegrity and the simple lives of the rul-
ing family, the Hohenzollerns. Yetnow
it is asserted that the Ministers of Ger
many have found it necessary to create
champions and silence powerfu foes by
the use of public money, and that if q
revelation of such transactions could be
made there would be as much excite
ment in Berlin as there Is In Paris. Gov
eminent in England has become honest
as it has become popular. When the
royal prerOgative was powerful Parlia-
ment was for sale. Not much over two
hundred years ago the King of England
received monthly allowance from the
French treasury which was O bride.
Under the despotism of the Tudors the
leading Ministers made fortunes.
The estate of noble family in
England had its foundation in the
wealth accumulated by an ancestor
who was Elizabeth's Prime Minister. by
practices for which he could now be
transported az felon. 1t is matter of
history that the great General Marlbor-
ough took brides from the king he was
fighting, now betraying the crown that
he served and now the crown that bribed
him. Republics punish their great
thieves. De Lesseps and the others
who have robbed the French people are
sure of punishment, but the official pro-
moters of the Mississippi bubble devised
by John Law under the sanction of roy
alty-a much greater fraud-were never
called to account. Our Tweeds are re-
membered for their punishments. while
the names of the Tweeds of monarchy
are lost in titles.

Some of the chief witnesses lived to re-
pent and recant their testimony, and all
admitted that a gigantic wrong had
been done.
The proposition to commemorate any
of the actors in this frightful folly by
erecting a monument seems very
strange. 1t is one of these shocking

LET THEM BIB SEPARATE.

Another and perhaps a stronger argu-
ment than any yet mentioned in favor
of the entire separation of the Girls Re-
fermatory and the Woman's Prison is
that inmates of the Reformatory. on
leaving the institution. carry with them
an undeserved stigma. Many of the
girls in the RefOrmatory are not crimi-
mails. and are not necessarily depraved
or vicious. They may be sent there,
often at the request of parents who lack
force, because they are incorrigible or
wild" and need firm discipline and
control. When they come out they
should bear no unjust burden, but as a
matter of fact they do bear the prison
brand. The institution, including the
penal department, is known indiscrim-
inately as the "Reformatory." and the
careless public does not distinguish
of the school and those hardened
criminals who have been in the
penitentiary. 1t will not do to assert
that the girls would carry the same
measure of disgrace in any case. This
is not true in the case of the boys who
leave the Plainfield Reform School.
They are by no means regarded by the
community in the same light as returned
convicts. They are not received with
the same distrust. and have less difficult
ty in establishing confidence in them
selves. 1t would be otherwise if their
school were within the walls of the
prison at Jacksonville or Michigan City.
There is no good reason for bringing the
two departments under one roof In case
of the women, and separation should be
madA.

IT seems that State Auditor Bier
man has sold the timber on school land
in Germania to parties during the win
ter who have cut it off and converted it
into lumber. This is contrary to the
law governing school lands and beside
this is a bad move.~ When the land is
stripped of the timber it will not sell,
as farmers do not care to buy land
from which the timber has been strip
ped. The matter has been talked over
and it has been thought best to insti-
tute proceedings against the parties to
bring the matter into court and thus
see by what right the State auditor is
skinning our school lands of timber

Probably the timber was endan-
gered by fire, or perhaps it was
liable to be uprooted and levelled
to the earth by a cyclone. There
is no telling what might happen to
that timber. -

AT a meeting of the Republican
national committee held in Louis
vile last week, the proposition to
change the basis of representation
IN the next Republican national
convention was discussed, but no
steps we're taken to remedy the
evil complained of by northern
Republicans. Under the present
system each State is allowed four
delegates at large and each con-
gressional district two. The
change proposed would give each
State four delegates at large and
an additional delegate for every
1000 Republican votes. Com
menting on the proposed change,
the Minneapolis Journal truth
fully and sensibly remarks:
That representation at the national
Republican convention should be ap-
portioned according to the Republican
voting power of the several States is to
all reasonable people self evident as
political truth. The southern Repub-
licans do not like this arrangement for
the simple reason that it would mini
mize their power at nominating con-
ventions. So it would; but States
which never give a single Republican
ELECTORAL vote should not have an
equal voice in the nomination of a
president with, the States which con
tinually cast a. solid Republican cleo
torial vote. Mr.. Harrison, at the Min
neapolis convention, received 533 votes
and 236 of these came from the solid
south, where not. a Republican elector-
ial vote was cast. The decisive votes
were largely those of federal Office
holders. Mr.. Harrison would never
have been nominated at Minneapolis
except through these dead votes. The
Republican party should not be ham
pered in this way. According to the
measure of the Republican voting
strength should a State be represented
at the national convention. The con-
trolling vote in such convention should
be that of the actual Republican party
in the States which elect president.

VARIOUS State papers are comment
ing upon an expression said to have
been made by Bob Dunn, of the Prince
ton UNION, to the effect that he would
not go back to the legislature for &c.
600 per annum. We can see Bob's
point plainly enough. He believes
that a representative should accom-
plish something for his constituents
and his recent experience on the re-
question shows him
how utterly impossible it is for the
northern portion of the State to get
simple justice from the south part and
this fact makes him weary. We feel a
good deal that way ourself, but when
you come to see northern representa-
tives work right in with the south
cabal to bind the chains tighter and
don't seem to know enough to know
better what words can be found strong
enough to do justice to the subject?-
Polk County Journal .
The Journal sizes up the situa-
ton correctly. That ten thousand
dollar remark was made by the
writer Immediately after the de-
feat of the last attempt at an
equitable reapportionment, when
he was in no very enviable frame
of mind. Ten thousand dollars is
considerable money-more than
the average country newspaper
man earns in year! But the
Journal can appreciate the circum-
stances that gave rise to the re-
mark. Had northern Minnesota
been properly represented the so
called Markham bill would not
have been defeated. The clause
in the general appropriation bill
appropriating $50, 700 for. internal
improvements in northern counties
was stricken out because the por-
ton of the State to be benefited
was weak in the senate. /

REFERRING to the half-and- half
policy pursued by the Worlds
fair directors in throwing open the
grounds but keeping the buildings
closed on the Sabbath day, the
Little Falls Transcript profanely
remarks: 'EAnd in thus keeping
a part closed and apart open trib-
ute is paid both to the prince of
evil and to the Lord. It's a
shrewd management. With the
Lord, the Devil and Mammon, all
on it's side it surely ought to sue
coed. It's questionable, however,
whether such tribute to the Lord
will be duly entered and credited
in the books of heavenly court.
Still if the gates we're entirely
closed the Devil would have ample
facilities in Chicago for holding a
fair of his own outside the gates
Of the Worlds fair.''
