ENGLISH JUSTICE.

The sentencing of FREDERICK HEN
DERSoN, the youngest member of the
city council of London, to four months
in prison at hard labor for the larceny of
Is cents, is a striking example of En-
gliSh justice as compared with Amer
lean. Suppose. for Instance. that ONE
one in st. Paul asked warrant for the
arrest of a member of the common coun-
ell on the charge Of stealing rs cents.
The chances are not one in thousand
that the warrantiwould be issued; and if
it were, il is certain that the case would
be laughed out of court. In England
they have true conception of the pur-
pose of criminal punishment. In this
country the conception is blinded by the
susceptibility of our people to personal
influence, by sympathetic weakness,
and by selfshness which impels us to
pervert the criminal courts into a sort Of
collection bureau.
The theory of crime is that it arises
from a perverSe heart, and the OBJ
ject of the law is to correct the per
versity. The amount a man steals is
not necessarily the measure of his de-
pravity. Very many men will steal
large amount who would not small
one, but almost every one who steals a
small amount will steal large one.
The man who steals 100000 is very
likely one who would never think of
stealing $1,000; he is simply the victim
of contemplation. Very many more
men than we care to believe have their
price; but that is so high that they are
practically out of the market.
But 1t is difficult to make the average
American understand this philosophy.
We will continue for long time TO
come to turn loose most of the petty
thieves, to rejoice in their fortune be-
cause they can continue to steal. and by
and by hit upon big deal. Some time,
maybe, the true purpose of criminal
punishment may dawn upon the Amer
lean mind.

TO ELECT PosTMAsTERs.

There is growing sentiment, particu-
larly in Minnesota, III favor OF electing
the postmasters. Some would require
only that the president appoint the
men who are chosen by Democratic
votes; some think that all the political
parties should be permitted to vote for
the Democrats OF their choice. and
others believe that the Office should be
taken entirely out of national politics
and filled by the general vote of the
communities. Each of these positions
looks plausible.
If the president were required to APP
point the men chosen by Democrats he
would be relieved of great annoyance
and responsibility, and the appUintee
would have every reason TO work for
the best interests of his party. He
would owe his position TO the people
and not the president, and this would
weaken the power of the executive as
against other Democrats.
If Republicans as well as Democrats
had a vote for the Democrats to be aD-
pointed, it would seem to be fairer to
the communities.
If the postmasterShip were taken out
of national politics, 1t would greatly
weaken the power of the dominant
party.
This all looks well on the face; but
the other side is worthy of conSidera-
ton. Were the pOstmasterS TO be
elected, it would be wholly question
of vote-catching with them, and many
people are ready to admit that in many
communities vote-catching and fitness
are not related to each other. In such
places the business men and others who
are most interested in an efficient postal
service would generally have the least
strength.
Again, under the aforementioned sys-
TEN, if the postmaster turned out to be
unfit. the president could not remove
him. 1t would be necessary to impeach
him by some court process. which
would be long. expensive and uncertain.
His chances for malfeasance would be
greater than now, and the means of
detecting and bringing him to justice
would be more difficult and expensive.
Many populations would never be un
earthed.
Under the present system the presi
dent is the responsible party. If he con-
suits his own and the interests of the
country, he will appoint men upon their
qualifications, choosing, of course, from
his party. If he does not, he is the loser.
Our system of postoffice inspection is
the simplest and most efficient that can
be devised. By it the interests of the
public are protected as they could not
well be under any system applicable to
Oh elective plan.
1t is well to look on all sides of the
postal business before deciding to make
any radical change.

Mr.. Quincy was originally Repnb-
lican. but became Democrat on the
issues of recent years. He is one Of the
group of young men in Massachusetts
who have revolutionized the politics of
that state during the past few years
He is, moreover. the representative Of a
distinguished family, whose history is
interviewer with that of the nation
since the foundation of the government,
and he is a man OF education, ability
and force of character.
Mr.. Quincy came to the front for the
first time i'll national politics during the
campaign which closed last fall with
the election of Grover Cleveland.
He has served three terms in the leg
islature as representative of the town
and city of Quincy, and he ran as
candidate for Congress in 1898 in the
Old Colony district. Mr.. Quincy's sub
sequent work has beeN incessant and
effective in spreading the doctrine of
tariff reform and preparing the way for
the great victory of last year.

SELL THE MARkErHousE.

The d ecision of the corporation attor-
hey that the city has the right without
legislation to sell the market house is
gratifying to a large majority of the
heavy taxpayers of st. Paul. 1t has long
since-outlived its day of usefulness, and is
dead weight to the city. According to
reports which have been made at vari-
Gus times to the city council, it has not
paid expenses for many years, to say
nothing of the interest on the value of
the property. 1t is a detriment to the
business interests OF Wabasha, Seventh
and st. Peter streets. 1t occupies one
of the most important spots in the city,
and if it can be sold to advantage under
the present real estate values, the
sooner it is disposed of the better.
1t is estimated that the property is
worth $3.50, 900. The legal interest per
annum upon this sum is $24, 500. If it
can be sold now at the estimate it would
probably be better to dispose of it than
to hold it for the possibility of an ad-
vance in value. However, there can be
no question as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
selling the property, and the only mat
ter to be considered is of getting the
most money possible for it. In deter
mining this the loss of interest by hold
ing it for possible boom should be
carefully weighed. 1t ought to bring at
least S550,00O, and real estate men ex-
press the belief that it can be sold for
that upon easy terms, as to time aud in-
terest. The interest should not be less
than per cent, and the time should be
as short as possible.
The city is in great neea of a library
building, and SS5O,OOO would be COM
Portable start toward one. Three years
ago JAMES j. HILL said he would do
nate $4,000 for one which should cost
not less than 100000. ID. C. SHEPARD
said he would donate $4,000 upon the
same understanding. Other capitalists
indicated their willingness to donate
sums ranging from $4,000 to $4,000. Ii
we could realize S35O,OO0 out of the mar
ket house, it would be very easy to raise
the other S15O,OO0 st. Paul is far be-
hind the times in its lack of such
structure, and it is high time to make
vigorous move for one.

SENATOR'S. BE DEMOCRATS.

SENATOR'S, BE DEMOCRATS.
The GLOBE has right to ask Demo-
cratic senators and representatives to
be Democratic. 1t has this right be-
cause it is Democratic; because these
gentlemen have been elected as Demo-
Gratis, and because it is our and
their duty to advocate all measures that
are Democratic. In no other way can
we hope or expect to build up a Demo-
cratic party in this state strong enough
to control the state. In no other way
can we hope to gam the confidence of
that element of our voters who hold the
balance of power. If Democratic legis-
lators line themselves with the pa
ternalists; if they support measures
plainly in the interests of the corporate
powers of the state; if they oppose
measures defending the interests of the
common people against those powers,
then we may expect and will deserve
to remain aminority party. If in our as
sault on the Republican policy of tender
solicitude for those corporate interests,
as illustrated by legislation favoring
them, we are to be always met with the
fact that the measures had the support
of Democrats, our assaults will fail and
justly fail.
The Republican party is responsible
for the present condition. Ii has en-
acted these oppressive laws from which
the people are seeking relief. The
abuses not resulting from positive en-
actment have grown up with their tacit
consent. The GLOBE has no right or
disposition to counsel members If that
party. They have only pursued the

THE BILLION DOLLAR CON
GRESSES

CROSSES.
Since the adjournment there has been
much discussion and dispute over the
relative appropriations of the two con-
crosses now fortunately passed into a
state of "innOcuouS deSuetude." Re-
publican papers have rejOiced over the
fact that the Fifty-SeeOnd congress had
exceeded the appropriations made by its
predecessor. They have INDUCED in
the sneer that the Democrats would
have little to say hereafter about the
"billion-dollar congress"
The Democratic house is entitled to
this consideration-that it was bound TO
make appropriations which had been
made permanent by the former con-
greSS, and which hostile senate. bent
on compelling the house to equal or eX
ceed the record of the Fifty-iirSt con-
greSs, would not consent to the repeal
of. The records of the appropriation
bills IN the senate show a persistent and
often successful effort to Increase the
auOunts voted by the house.
When these facts, which fair-mlnded
men will take into account, are allowed
for, and when the table of appropria-
tons is examined and tine items of i'll
crease and decrease compared, the
Democratic house need not be ashamed
Of the comparison. The following table
is prepared by the clerk of the house
committee on appropriations. and is
taken to be accurate:

F1fty.first Fiftv.second

Aggregate .S9SS AZ. 1S3 81. 029 SD $40
The amount appropriated by the con-
gresS just adjourned exceeds that of
of the F:fty-frst by S3S, 4O4,S56. In ex-
amining the items it will be found that
in only two has there been any marked
| increase, while in all the others the de-
crease is noticeable. These two are for
the department OF agriculture, to which
Sl.700,000 more is given, and for pen
siOns, where the increase is the startling
sum of SD, 1864 If this last tie m of
| increase be taken from the amount, and
the Fifty-Second congress be charged
with the same amount Tor pensions as
its predecessor. it will be seen that the
appropriations are over S40.00O,000 less
in the former than in the latter con-
gTeSs.
To the extent that the late congress
did not make an effort to diminish the
appropriation for pensions, it is culpabIe
1t was offered the opportunity by its
pensions committee, but there were in
it too many congressman afraid get of
the professional old soldier ana his
mouth. The senate might have baked
any effort the house might have made,
but it should have made the attempt,
and let the senate take the RESPONSE
bility. Should its'SucceSsor do no more;
should it refuse to reform the abuses
which impose this appalling burden on
the: nation, it will merit the severest

The failure of the legislatures of
three states to elect senators, Wyoming.
Montana and Washington, merely adds
further reason why this right should be
taken from the representatives of the
people and restored to them. AS two of
these are Republicans and one a Demo-
crat. the former party will lose if the

and hold that no vacancy exists. The
