CRIMINAL AND PAUPER n[NuGRA-
TION.

calling in question the testimony we
offered two weeks ago upon this sub
iect. By reference to our editorial it
win be seen that we distinctly stated
the quotations we offered ia evidence
TO be from the official report Of one Of
the immigrant inspectors (Mr. Jud-
son M. Cross), appointed to visit Eu-
rope and make q personal investlgs-
ton of this subject, and not, as MIR.
Oldreive indicates in his letter, from
the letter of the secretary OF the
treasury. These inspectors were
Capt. Judson M. Gross, DR.. Walter
Kempster, Mr.. Joseph Powderly and
Mr.. Fl. j. Schultels. We happen to
have private information from un-
questionable sources that these in
spectors are men of integrity, whose
testimony can be relied upon in every
particular.
But we DO not have to rely on their
testimony alone. There are official
British reports from which we shall
now quote that place this matter sb-
solutely beyond question. In the re-
port on "the history of the depart
ment Of the metropolitan police,
known as the convict supervision
Office, prepared by James Monroe,
Esq, London, 1885," il is stated on
page 10:
Many conviCts have been assisted to en-
igrate, and the very large number of letters
Of those received show that the work has
been appreciated by the discharged prison
ers who have been assisted.
In the annual report of the Bucks
Discharged Prisoners Aid Society
for 1890, among the objects of the
society are the following:
No. 2. To provide for emigration and
exercising friendly supervision over them
(oOnvictS).
The following statement may also
be found in this report:
The altered position of the society COnse-
Quent on Closing Of the prison al Aylesbury
was discussed, and the meeting agreed that
il would be desirable TO continue the opera
Mons Of the society, and resolved chat the
committee have power to diSbuEse the funds
Of the society towards She emigration or
oshsr assistance Of discharged prisoners be-
longing TO the county Of Buckingham; and
that such assistance be rendered either d.
reCtly or shrough the societies connected
with the prisons from which such prisoner
may be discharged.
We might add indefinitely from
these reports did space permit. The
testimony is voluminous and incon-
testable. But Mr.. Oldreive complains
of unfairness in our conclusions. he
says:
The fAlsehOOdS are bad, but what Is in
finitely worse and usual Is the deSpioablC
form Of attack known as the "hRlf truth
the truth which is half lie." Allow me Il
point out first and foremost that although
you have furnished evidence Of land thai
Of hearsay nature) bearing on the Ques
ton Of importation Of criminals 10 thii
country, still you add paupers, as II th'
names and Glasses were interchangeable
which is far from being correct.
Now, although we did not quote
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-10-11


officials did everything in their power
to prevent them from obtaining the
facts. At one Office where they called
to obtain reports, they received this
answer:
You are from the United States; we do
not print any reports; we do not give any
information; we do not lot any prisoners
from our doors without assistance, and il
one OF them becomes president Of the
United States, you will never be the wiser.
Mr.. Schulteis disguised himself as
Q mendicant, and himself sought re-
lief and assistance from the aid soCies
ties, and in thismsnner obtained con-
siderable of the information he Is
able to lay before his countrymen.
He also employed others in the coun-
tries he visited who aided him IN OBJ
tanning the official reports, and other
information.
We quote further from the report
of the inspectors. SIN the Charities
Register Digest, of 1890, published
in London. At page So, of the intro
ductioD, under the head Of emlgra-
tlon,' are found the following
selections:
They (the guardians) or rather the local
government board, If set in motion by
them, have large powers in regard to emil
grafton. II a majority Of owners and rate
payers, assembled at duly convened meet
ing. 90 direct, they may, with the approval
Of the local governments board, pay from
fund specially raised for the purpose, the
expenses Of poor persons settled in their
union (poor house) and willing to emi-
CRATE. I"
BY order Of the poor law board, and in
conformity with their regulations, the
guardians may, OF the expense Of the COM
mon fund Of the union (the poor house)
procure or assist in procuring, the emigra-
tion of any person who is irremOvsble By
reason Of q residence Of one year.
Further, che guardian may, with the
order and subject to the rules Of the local
government board, sxpend, without being
authorized TO do so BY any previous meet
ing Of owners and rstepayers, any sum not
exceeding 91O, ''in and about" the emigra-
tion Of any roor person settled in the union
(the poor houSe) so long as the total moneys
30 expended do not exceed one-haf the
average poor rate during the last three
veAPa. o.
Those whom il Is contemplated TO take as
sTATE-A1DRD MIGRANTS are, for the most
part, men who have fallen more below than
above the average capacity. In fact, highly
organized attempts at emigration in large
bodies have seldom met with success; and
when philAnthPopists most desire emigra-
tion for Others, people in general, If We
may trust the returns, are rather less in
clined 10 emigrate, for the rise in emigra-
tion is generally oo-inoident with improv-
ing, the fall with declining trade. On the
whole, then, sTATn-AIDED EMIGRATION OF
emigration organized on large scale, can
not be advocated. Il is better TO trust to
individual enterprise.

Work on the new government build
Ing is progressing very favorably. That

from glance at the construction now
going on within the fences on the
streets known as Market, Fifth, Sixth
and Washington The stone which UNI
-derlaid that block is nearly all quarried
out, and the best of 1t is saved for use
in the substructnre. The small pieces
aud clippings are being carted away. A
small proportion of Rockville granite is
being used in the foundation for cap
stones and water table, and as there
were not enough good square blocks in
the quarry on the site. the requirements
are being filled up with cut stone from!

The Committee Proposes to Offer
$500 for Advertising.
Aid. Cullen and Montgomery attend
ed the meeting OF the committee Oh
ways and means of the board of alder
men yesterday. The committee decided
that $500 would be about the right
amount to appropriate from the city
treasury for the use Of the committee
from the commercial bodies to adver-
tise the city with. 1t was stated it
would take four-fifthS vote to appro-
pirate any amount, and under the cir
cumstances no larger sum than $500
would be likely to pass the council. A
resolution recommending this sum will
be reported. An adverse report will be
made ON the resolution to insure the
fire headquarters building, at the corner
of Eighth and Minnesota streets. The
committee was of the opinion that the
proximity of the Auditorium did not
imperil the engine house or the appa-
ratus. A favorable report will be made
for the purchase Of road scraper to
cost S240.

FROM THE SILVER STATE
A Former st. Paul Boy On a
Visit Home Surprised at the !
City's Progress.
Thought He Had Got or at the
Wrong Station When He Saw
the Tall Buildings.

3 =
John FL. O'Mara, young man born
and raised in st. Paul, but who years
ago left for the West to make his for
tune, is on visit to his native city from,
Helena. Mont. Mr.. O'Mara left over
eight wears ago and just before the
boom struck st. Paul, consequently She
knew nothing of the many and varied
improvements that were made In the
first few years succeeding his departure,
and when he stepped off the train and
started up the street everything
looked so different that he con-
Guided that he had got off at the
wrong station, and was a stranger in a
strange city. He walked back to the
depot, where he was assured that he
was mistaken, and that this was ST.
Paul. the center or North America He
started7for his old .lroine. and when he
saw Tom Lowry's elegant electric
coaches, he still believed that he had
been .'conned" by the depot master, as,
all he had ever seen in st. Paul was a
two-by-fOur car attached to pair OF
mules, aud in the winter time they had
to run Sleighs instead of street cars.
Determined to : find out for himself.
Though. and not get fooled again, he
very few of the old landmarks that he
could recognize, and it was not till he
had seen father and mother that he
could believe that he really was at
home. 80
Mr.. 0'Mara is at present manager of
the Cosmopolitan hotel in Helena, and
the real object OF his visit to st. Paul is
to be present at the marriage OF his
sister, Miss Mollie O'Mara. to Matt
Weimanil. which will take place at the
residence 299 Pleasant avenue this even
ing. The Silver state is a little dull
just at present." said Mr.. O'Mara, s'but
it is no worse there than in other North
western states. and if this silver ques-
ton is ever settled Montana will take
boom that will put her out of sight.
Most of the mixes are idle at present,
and that accounts for the dulluess OF
trade, but all the other varied indus-
tries in the state, and especially the
cattle interests, are a fOuDGation that
assure Montana eventually becoming
great state whichever way the silver
question goes.o The tall buildings
were wonderful surprise to MIR.
O'Mara, and he considered st. Paul had
advanced fifty years in progress since ne
left eight years ago. He will remain In
the city week visiting friends.

TRUST EES MAY ACT,
Even If the People Should Vote
Against Free Text Book
System,
And May Levy a Special Tax il
the Money is Not z "a
Voted. IN

The free text book law passed at the
last session OF the legislature is pruyok-
ing some pretty drastic controversies.
1t is an innovation in Minnesota. and
the various school boards and trustees
of school districts seem to be cropping IN
the dark, SO to speak, concerning the
teneIS, the opportunities and privileges
offered by the new system. and multi
tudinous array of interfogatory letters.
is daily received at the state depart
ment. The result has been that the at
torney general has been called upon to
give legal opinions upon certain phases
of the law. Yesterday that official sent
communication to the superintendent
of public instruction that's fraught with
deal of information.
1t seems that in certain instances the
public has not been prepared to avail
itself of the privileges OF using state
text books, and at meetings OF the
school district have voted against the
adoption of the law. This is one of the
points that the attorney general was
asked to give an opinion upon. 1t was
rendered yesterday. The attorney gen.
eral says that in his Judgment the
school trustees may adopt the free tie Xt
book system even though the people
vote against it at school meeting, and
if the people fail to vote funds to carry
the system into effect, the trustees may
levy special tax under the General
Statutes for the purpose.
Again the question has arisen as to
whether or not districts may avail them
selves of an opportunity to purchase the
text books at less than the schedule
rates. The law requires that the pub
fishers of text books may file with the
state department choice list of books,
and these lists have been filed by sew
eral of the leading publishing houses of
the East. The attorney general decides
that the trustees may buy DIT reduced
rates if they car do SO. The schedule
is not binding, in other words.

A BOGUS DOLLAR
Gets John Hazlens, Of Minneapolis,
in Trouble With Uncle Sam.

0CtS OOL1AI AAa III
in Trouble With Uncle Sam.
John Hazlens was brought down from
Minneapolis last night By Deputy
United States Marshal f. w. Goodner
and lodged in the Ramsey county jail.
He is charged with passing a counter
felt silver dollar on F. l.. Rawson, a
saloonkeeper at 25o1 Marshall street.
Minneapolis. HaZlens was arrested by
Patrolman j. H. Shean and taken before
United States Commissioner Willard
Fillmore Bowen. who held him to an
swer to the federal grand jury, and in
default of 300 bail he was committed to
Jail. 1t is said that there is great
amount of spurious silver coin Of the
dollar denomination in circulation in
Minneapolis, and it is believed that
there is an organized band OF counter
faiters in that city. The authorities
are making all effort to get hold Of the
principals in the nefarious work, and
hope to capture the tools and dies. The
coin looks well and has fairly good
ring, but it is light in weight. and has
more base metal in it than III the 60-cent
dol lar.

Connection Ordered.

Some time since the citizens of Hanlsy.
in Yellow Medicine county. petitioned
the railway and warehouse commission
for connection between the Minneap-
oils Est. Louis and the Great Northern
railroads at that point. This petition
came under the provisions Of the new
law passed at the last session OF the
Legislature, requiring different railroads
to make Y connections. and also to fix
joint rates. The commission called the
attention Of the roads interested in the
matter, but they refused to concede.
Yesterday the commission took the sub
ject in hand, and issued an order COM!
manding the connection to be made
within reasonable length OF time.

Both Will Be Investigated by the
Special Committee.
The special joint council committee
appointed to consider the petition of
Sixth street property owners will meet
Friday evening. The petition asks that
the city treasurer be restrained from
selling property assessed for the build
ing Of the Sixth street bridge on which
costs and penalties have not been paid.
At the time the assessment was made
the matter was taken into the courts,
and after some litigation it was agreed
that if the face of the assessment
were paid the costs and penalties
should not be enforced. AS soon as the
present city treasurer took charge of
the office he imagined there had been
some fraud attempted, and at once took
steps to have the property sold for the
costs and penalties. Inc petitioners
ask to have the council direct the sale
stopped. Incidentally the petitioners
call attention to an error OF the treas
urer in not crediting to the Sixth street
bridge fund moneys paid in during the
last year. This charge will be inyesti-
gated by the committee at the meeting
tomorrow night.
