call public attention to this matter. eX-

1t is too often the CASE that political

this case there is notable exception.
The committee has risen above par

with the facts developed.
This report is most singing rebuke
to the 'imprudent indiScre.ion" de-

journal ever deserved and received
more forcible censure. 1t is even
stronger condemnation for that journal

than for the parties directly implicated.
The development and Investigation.
as far as it has proceeded, is whole

DIR. MURPHY's ILLNESS,
His Condition Gives Rise to Much
Alarm

The condition of DIR. j. 81. Murphyis
not improved, and grave fears arelen-
tertained by his hosts of friends. His
affection is diabetes. 9ia
DR.. Murphy has been indisposed to
some extent for more than a Year, but
was not confined to his house untilthree
weeks ago. Since that time he has re-;
manned confined and his, condition has
given rise to considerable alarm The
disease has given rise to, carbuncles
upon his face and head. Last
Saturday afternoon very large and
painful carbuncle was removed by five
surgeons from the angle of the right
side of his jaw. He grew better from
this time for two or three days, then
he began to decline again. There
was no apparent spread of the
disease until early Thursday morning;
then the symptoms became alarming.
Up to last night it spread so much it
became necessary to perform another
operation. The five surgeons accord-
ingly opened the place from which the
carbEncle was removed and scraped the
parts farther down. So far as learned
the second operation was successfully
performed.
The doctor is not confined to his bed
all the time, but is able to arise at
pleasure, and often moves about the
house.. But he is weak and seems to be
falling away.
His physicians say, however, that he
may yet rally and come out all right.
He is making courageous fight for re-
coyery, and maintains his weil-known
cheerful attitude.
DR.. Murphy is about the oldest, and
by far the most widely known prac-
titioner in the state. He began the
practice of medicine at ST. An
thony Falls in 1852, and has re-
manned continuously in the saddle
since then. lie is well known to every
man. woman and child in st. Paul, and
almost as well in Minneapolis and all
other parts Of the state. Nobody stands
higher in public esteem than Dr.. Muir

Several attempts have been made to

MIR. Stalker said that Queen Liliuo-

painted by her enemies. He says this
is another case in politics in which il IS
not wise to accept the opposition de-
lineation of a person actively engaged
in struggle. 1--WE have" lie said,
Learned how 10 weigh these matters as
applied to candidates in our own coun-

aroused and their interests affected"
Mr.. Stalker also discussed, at the re-
quest OF the committee. the question of
the ACCESSIBILITY of annexing the Ha-
waiian islands. and said he doubted the
expediency OF such course for the
United States. MIR. Stalker stated that
he was a Republican,. but declared he

of the GLOBE, namely, that. while

Washington Star Joins the Lead
ing News association.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 25.-The Wash
ington Evening Star, recognized as one
of THE most successful and influential
afternoon papers in the United States,
has Joined the Associated Press and
abandoned the United Press.
The Star editorially says: The Star
has decided to change its system of
associated press collection of the worlds
news, to sever It's relations with the
United Press and 10 connect itself with
the Associated Press, and it feels that
its readers are entitled to an early
announcement of this decision. This
change is not attributable to any dissat-
isfaction with the news service OF the
United Press, or to any personal disa-
greement or uncongeHiality between
the representatives Of the Star and the
United Press. The Star makes the
change because it believes that the
Associated Press, in the management OF
which all the associated newspapers
have an equal voice, is organized upon
the only correct basic principle, and is
erected upon the only foundation which
insures Il permanent structure. The
Star allies itself with other newspapers
constituting the Associated Press with
the deliberate Judgment that its perma-
nent news efficiency aud its permanent
business Interests will be largely pro-
NOTED by this course"

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS VOID.

The GLOBES contention as to the un-
constitutionality of the insanity law of
1898 has been sustained in every partic-
ular by the supreme court in the hear
ing affecting the validity of the commit
ment Of Matte j. Blaisdell to an insane
asylum. LII very temperate and care
fully worded opinion handed down by
Justice Collins the law in question is
shown to be defective in several essen
tial particulars, chief of which is the fact
that it is capable of depriving a citizen
of his liberty without full and impair
tial hearing of the complaint against
him. and. therefore, without due process
of law.
The court analyses the process pro-
vided by the law in question for the
commitment of the alleged insane per-
son, showing that the tribunals charged
with the determination OF the presence
of insanity are not bound by express
command TO give proper hearing to the
cause. They may in their discretion do
so, but such hearing need go only so far
as the discretion of the court may per-
init. Such hearing is a favor. not a

Various particulars are brought to at

i'll Wisconsin,. Some of these agencies
were recommended to be abolished ten

THE legal officials Of Chicago are
about to try novel experiment. They
propose TO make a special assessment
for water service upon one ward, in
order to obtain a decision as to the
legality of general assessment. There
is no necessity for submitting such a
question to any court composed of men
of average intelligence. Every one
knows that no tax for general purpose
can be legally collected from special
locality without violating the funda-
mental principle OF all taxation. A tax
such as that proposed would therefore
be declared illegal without moments

SENATOR VEST thinks there is too
much indirection in politics and diplO-
macy, and wants the congress OF tie
United States to adopt as substitute
for the pending resolutions relating 10
Hawaii, which are remarkable for their
pOimtlessness. the following:
Resolved, That it is unwise and mex
pedient to consider the project of an
neXng the Hawaiian territory to the
United States; that the people of the
Hawaiian Islands should be left to
choose and maintain their own govern
ment, and thai any foreign Intervention
in the political affairs of the islands will
be regarded as an act unfriendly to the
government of the United States.
This has the merit of brevity and ex-
plicitness, and it is to be hoped that
congress Will adopt 1t, and thus end an
unpleasant controversy.
