SENATOR WALCOTr, Of Colorado,
who was supposed to belong to the
rabid free silyerites, talked to New
YOrN Press repOrert as follows:
II do not believe in trying to force
the issue. 1t is no use for this coun-
try to undertake to change our cur
rency without the cooperation of for
eign powers, and the sooner we let
the Europeans know this the better it
will be for us. | think the Sherman
silver law should be repealed, and yet
| am interested in silver mines and
smelters." If Senator Walcott be-
lieves the silver law should be repeal
ed he can do great deal towards it
by his influence, because of the pecul-
lar position he occupies.

MANKATo FREE PRESS.
FRIDAY MAY 5. 1898.

THE stupidity of the editor of the
RevieoC over reaches itself when he
seeks to make it appear that this
paper is responsible for what appears
in the Pioneer Press, under Mankato
date line. This paper has sufficient
to attend to without undertaking to
be responsible for what appears in the
papers of other cities. 1t would be as
proper to accuse the ReUieao of being
responsible for what appears in the
St. Paul Globe or New York World. So
far as the fact is concerned of there
being report abroad that a change
is to occur in the MankatO pOstotfice
within short time, perhaps month,
the ReUieC only shows its slowness In
catching on" to legitimate news
items by attempting to deny that
there is such report. 1t is equally
true that it comes from an excellent
source. The fact that this rumor Is
published does not imply hostility to
Postmaster Mcconnell except in so
far as the unfairness of the editor OF
the RecieU would make it appear so.
If the truth were known, there Is
probably no man in Mankato more de-
sirous to have Mr.. Mcconnell removed
than is the editor of the ReUae,o, as in
that case he hopes to have his son in
stalled in the office. But rather than
have any other Democrat hold the Of
flee he would prefer to have Mr.. Nc
Connell continue in the position. The
FREE PRESS hopes that the rumored
change will not prove to be true, as
President Cleveland'S administration
would stultlfy itself by removing Mr..
Mcconnell, against whom no charges
whatever can be brought. His con-
duct of the office has been satisfactory
to all parties, and to remove him be-
fore the expiration of his term would
be rank injustice to a deserving
man,

THERE is a growing opinion that
the monetary conference which adj
iOurned to convene at Brussels again
this month, will never meet. 1t is
said that England is contemplating
withdrawing from the conference en-
tirely and as the other nations of Eu-
rope follow England in financial mat
tiers, it is quite probable that they
will likewise withdraw their repre-
sentatives, and the conference will
fall fiat failure. As congress refused
20 repeal the silver law, it would be
States to ask for an agreement under
present conditions.

THE MONEY AVAILABLE.

Director Geo. HI. Clark has received
word from the state auditor
that the appropriation Of $4,000,
for the Normal school will
he available July 1st, 1894, as was
previously supposed. This will en-
able work to proceed during the com
ing summer and the building may be
completed by next winter. The first
step will be the selection of plans.

THE NORMAL COMMENCEMENT.

Dr. Duryea, of Omaha, has been Sc
cured to give the address on COM
mencement evening. He is said to be
the leading preacher in Omaha and a
very eloquent speaker.
Dr. Ringland, of McAllister college,
has consented to give the baccaleaur-
cate sermon the Sunday before COM
mencement. He is highly spoken of.
We learn that the manner in
which the Chicago house which is TAX
taking orders for all kinds of goods in
this city proceeds is as follows: The
person joining pays $40 for member
ship and receives handsomely exc
cuted certificate and also book. He
is then entitled to order goods of all
kinds payable on delivery, and at
prices which he is made to believe are
lower than those made by our local
dealers. In this way they order dry
goods, groceries, boots, shoes, books,
and in fact everything under the sun.
A merchant informs US that he has
heard that the agent has secured a
hundred members during the week
that he has been in the city, though
we hope that this is an over estima-
ton AS matter of fact our own
dealers will duplicate anything that
is ordered from this house at the same
or lower prices. The goods sent are
inferior in quality, as must necessari-
ly be the case when sent in small
amounts, as in any other case the
freight and express charges would eat
up the profits. We desire to warn
our citizens against dealing with out
siders Of whose character they have
no knowledge and have no interest in
the city other than to take out as
much profit as possible. Our mer-
chants select the best grades of goods
in the market and at the lowest legit-
innate figures, and make prices which
are as low as honest competition and
methods will allow. They have in
vested their money in Mankato, en-
ploy Mankato people, respond to every
solicitation for assistance from Man
kato enterprises, pay taxes in Manka-
to, support the churches and schools,
societies and associations, and in re-
turn should receive the entire patron
age of our people. New stores and
houses ank public improvements can
not be expected unless the merchants
are successful.
One of our prominent local con-
tractors states that there is no reason
why work on the addition to the Nor
NAL school should not be commenced
this spring and the building complet-
ed by Sept. 1884, thus saving one
year, although no money will beavdil-
able until July l, 1894. He says that he
is willing to take the contract and do
the work in the time named, receiv-
ing vouchers upon the estimates.
These vouchers could be used as col
lateral at the banks, and when the
was available they could be
redeemed. He says that he would
not add a dollar to his bid on account
IF receiving vouchers ms cad of
money. The building would be en-
closed before winter, and the inside
work could be carried on during the
winter and succeeding spring. This
appears to be the way to proceed, and
if decided upon, bids could he asked for
upon the basis above stated.

The Globe says that Mr. Balfour
'pursues the tactics of the anarchist
in his fight against the home rule
bill. The methods he has adopted in
dictate that he would make "a popular
congressional leader for Democracy,if
he were resident of this republic.
He seems to be heartily in favor of
the dO-nOthing policy.

The Supreme court has decided
that a convict who has received and
accepted conditional pardon cannot
be arrested and remanded to suffer
his original sentence because of an
alleged nOn-performance of the condi-
tion upon the mere order of the gov
ernOr. That he must first have a
hearing so as to have an opportunity
to show that he has performed the
condition of the pardon, or has legal
excuse for not doing so. This deci-
sion was rendered in the case of
Thomas O'Connor, who was pardoned
by Gov. Merriam on condition that he
leave the state. O'Connor will be re-
membered as having been sent to
prison from LIE Sueur county for MUIR
der. He gives as the reason that he
did not leave the state that his wife
was stricken with paralysis, and he
was detained home few days, and in
the meantime he was rearrested and
recommitted without hearing.
County Superintendent Scherer
has advices that fifty trees were
planted by tnepupils of the Eagle Lake
school, Arbor Day, fifty in
the Norman district, and believes that
1000 trees were planted by the schools
in the county. This is more than
ever before. The trees were mostly
box elders and soft naples.

Put a Stop to 1t.

The fracas in the committee room at the
city hall on Thursday night was one more
of those disgraceful occurrences that have
brought our municipality into disrepute.
the best people of Salt Lake, irrespective
o. party proclivities, are scandaiized and
ashamed at the frequent displays of low
lived conduct, not devoid always of coarse
profanity. which is displayed by some
members of the council.
The commencement OF the disturbance
Thursday night was not the work of AN
official 1t was a private person who
assaulted city councillor with an approbrl-
Gus epithet. But the response to it was
made in similar spirit, and the whole
scene was disgraceful to the parties en-
gagged in it.
1t is expected when men are elected to
public office that they will conduct them
selves in different manner to that COM
mon in street brsnl. It's difficultsome-
times to control ones temper when i'm
properly assaulted. But men who make
regulations for the conduct of the public
should set the example of respect for law,
and should at least observe the ordinances
they help to pass, II they cannot be gen
tlemen in manner and spirit.
The language that has been used, and
the quarrels that have broken out, be-
tween men chosen to attend to municipal
business has been sach on many occasions
as to stir up the citizens to extreme dis
gust. There will have to be change il
these things or the public viii arise II
their indignation and raise such storm
that the cause of complaint will be sweep
away completely.

A Constitutional Question.

The debate in the Senate of the United
States on the question of the right of a
governor of q state to appoint, in case OF
the failure OF the legislature to elect a
United States Senator, has taken a wide
range. That may be quite proper in view
OF the idea that the action of the Senate at
this time viii form a precedent Tor future
action in many years
The case Immediately under discussion
is that Of Hon. LEE MANTLE. This and
the case OF the gentleman from Washing
ton should not be grouped with the ap-
pointment from Wyoming, because there
is an important difference which has not
been made to appear in the press or special
dispatches reporting the debate. The
gentlemen from Montana and Washing
ton may be denied their seats and the gen
tleman from Wyoming be admitted, with
out inconsistency.
The particular clause of the Constitution
which is being construed is this: ''And if
vacancies happen by resignation or other
wise during the recess Of the legislature
OF any state, the executive thereof may
make temporary appointments until the
next meeting of the legislature which
shall then fill such vacancies.o
In the cases Of Montana and Washing
ton the legislatures were in session when

Some OF the Wyoming papers seem de-
termined not recognize w. W. BURTON.
who has been appointed one of the COM
missioners of the state university, as a
resident of Wyoming. They call him Mr..
BARTON. admit his capabilities, but set
him aside as a resident either of idaho or
OF Utah, and insist that it is his son who
is a resident of Uinta county.
Utah is sorry to say that Mr.. BURTON
is not a resident of this territory, because
he is good citizen, capable man and
has some means still invested in Ogden
property. We believe he has yet an in
terest in mercantile institution of that
city.
But his home is in Star valley, Wyo-
ming He lives at Alton, and has exten-
sive farming and stock raising interests
there. That is his domicile, and Cover
nor OSBORNE made no mistake in ap-
pointing him to the position named.
either on the grounds of residence, or of
qualifications for the Office. There was a
little informality in the first papers made
out by the governor in appointing the
gentlemen he selected for this purpose,
but that has all been rectifed and there is
no use in raising such objections as those
in which some Republican papers in
Wyoming indulge.

Woman's Rights.

There seems to be need OF considerable
missionary work il some of the states in
regard to woman g rights Don't be
startled, politicians; this is not intended
as an argument pro or con on woman's
suffrage When we speak of rights we
do not mean privileges, and the elective
franchise is conceded by most people to
be a privilege conferred by law rather
than q right inherent in the citizen.
The Woman's Journal prints an extract
purporting to have been taken from a
South Carolina paper which says:
''Evhereas, my wife, Julie Ann Hack
EFT, having left my bed and board with
out Just cause, this is to forbid all per-
SONS to harbor by sheltering, feeding, or
in any manner giving her assistance.
Those disregarding this notice will be
vigorously prosecuted.
q Louisiana court is reported as having
recently freed a negro accused OF robbing
woman on the ground that the woman.
having husband living, could not have
any property under the laws OF that state.
therefore the robber could not be held.
The husband, it is stated, owns even the
wearing apparel Of the wife.
1t is barely possible that there may be
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-04-01

something incorrect in this report. 1t
seems incredible that the laws OF Louis
lana remain in that condition. The
rights of married women have been so
greatly enlarged of late years in most of
the states of the Union that those which
have retained the old common law status
of wife are very much behind the times
However, the report is printed in the
papers, and whatever they say of course
must be true.
The idea that in any state of the Union
a person could be prosecuted, or pro-
ceeded against in any legal way, for Civ
ing food or shelter to woman because
she had left her husband, is even more
startling than the other statement. Is it
possible that this is according to the
laws OF South Carolina. or did the dis
gruntled and deserted husband make
threats for which the law gave him no
justification?
The laws of Utah are very liberal in re-
gard to Woman's rights. She can sue
and be sued, hold property in her own
right, buy, sell and convey real estate,
and even if married may act with perfect
independence on property matters. In
deed, in some respects she has more
property rights than married man, who
cannot convey real property without his
wife's consent and signature or the formal
waving of her right or power. This is
not generally understood outside of this
territory, but prosecuted women who in
the south want larger liberty and greater
rights, viii find them out in the wild but
generous west.
