 Commenting upon this, the editor of the Press-Eagle in yesterdays is sue, under the head of Damned With Faint Praise, either through inexcusable ignorance, or with reconciliation and malice, placed the GRAPHIC inthe same category with the Gommerej,a1 as an apologist for the kind of water being furnished by the water company, and proceeded to make an unwarranted assault, at least so far as the GRAPHIC is concerned, upon each of it's daily contemporaries.
 Throughout the length and breadth of the article the Press Eagle seeks to reflect upon it's daily contemporaries by such innuendoes as that in connection with the off eials of the Water < Light Company the @savantsn of the GRAPHIC and Commercial made important dis .coveries of a nature totally at yari- ance with Dr. Orto's opinions.
 
 The GRAPHIC expressly diselaims that it at any time, or that it's Ian guage used anywhere was susceptible of a construction calculated to dis credit in any manner any of Dr. Ortos statements, a gentleman, both personally and professionally, for whom we entertain the highest regard and esteem. And we repel with emphasis and indignation the innuendo, sly, artful and cunning, as well as cowardly and covert, the reflections sought to be cast by using the GRAPHIo's good name in connection with "the officials of the Water < Light Company and that the article in question which ap- peared in the GRAPHIC last Sunday. and which is republished today, should have been labelled .top-col., nxt, abs. rdg mttr., e. 0. d., tf, or marks to that effect.

Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall and their Lon
don company will make their first ap-
pearance in st. Paul Thursday evening
Mrs. Kendall. who is we'll known pro-
fessionally as Madge Robertson, has
been for years the brightest star on the
English stage in emotional comedy or
drama. Her conception is keen and her
interpretations so delicately colored and
impressionable that her admirers have
always claimed for her that she touched
the height of her art. Mrs. Kendall is
distinctly an elevator of the stage, and
has written some stirring papers, which
have created no little comment and
discussion. Her husband, Mr. Kendall,
is always by her side in her undertake
ings. and IS a thoroughly good actor.
The repertoire for their engagement
has been arranged as follows: Thurs
day evening, 1.-The 1ronmaster;;" Friday
evening and Saturday matinee, 1.-THE
Second Mrs. Tanqueray," and Saturday
night, Still Waters Run Deep"
Seats and boxes can now be secured
at the box Office for the Kendals' en-
gagement.

THE INSANITY LAW

The board of trustees of the Mime
sofa hospitals for the insane will meet
at the capitol today, for the purpose of
taking such action as may be necessary
under the recent decision of the su-
preme court declaring the INSANITY law
of 1893 unconstitutional. The session
will be an Important one-perhaps the
most important during the existence
of the board-for the decision referred
to invalidates the commitments of a
large MUNGER of insane persons, who are
now in confinement in violation of the
statute existing prior to the enactment
OF the law referred to, and now in full
force and effect.
The population of the three hospitals
TOR the insane-at st. Peter, Rochester
and Fergus Falls--On Dec. 81 last was
1923. The number committed under
the new law, just overturned, was $50
including 9S readmissions. Of these
about GO have been discharged or have
died, leaving about 500 on whose behalf
habeas corpus proceedings might be
Instituted. approximations have been
felt that the Immediate effect of the
decision would be to set all these luna

from which they came to the trouble

St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1894-01-30
AN UNIV ARRANTABLE PRO-
CEEDING

The GLOBE entertainS a high regard
for Rev. DR.. Samuel q. Smith, and need
not repeat its many words spoken in
praise of Judge Willis. Nevertheless
it cannot lock with favor, or even with
liberation. upon an incident of yester-
day, when the clergyman. by invita-
ton. occupied seat on the bench with
the judge.
The judicial and the ministerial duties
and functions are entirely distinct. and
should be maintained in their respect
i've spheres. 1t is the mission of the
clergyman to eXhort. to counsel and TO
admoniSh; 1t is the duty of the judge to
sentence the evil doer. There is nc
affinity between the Two; there is sell
dom much sympathy. And it is better
for the community that this should be
so. The presence of a clergyman upon
the bench gives rise to suspicion that
the judge who sits beside him may be
open to influences that ought to be as
remote from his thoughts as the equator
is from the pole. 1t might create the
impression-it matters not whether that
impression were well or ill-founded-
that the jurist was subject to the influ-
ence of the priest. 1t is. besides, in
violation of the established tradition,
sanctioned by courts in every land, that
no layman can trespass upon the bench
on any preteXt whatever. The most
distinguished men in history have
sought to sit by the great chancellors,
but have been denied the privilege.
The example set by Judge Willis will
not become a precedent. Fortunately.
there are few judges who would desire
to initiate it. They are too jealous of
their prerogatives and of their reputa-
tons to hazard such an experiment..
Judge Willis course may be harmless
as far as he himself is concerned, but it
cannot be harmless as affecting his
reputation With his fellow judges, the
members of the bar and the public gen.
orally. 1t was an indisc retlon, to say
the least. Its repetition or imitation
would be a grave otfense that w0uli
meet with emphatic protest, if not open
resentment. If the judge is wise he will
avoid even the appearance of evil in the
future-will respect the traditions of the
bench and the feelings of the bar, even
though they may be but prejudices, and
pay more regard to his own reputation
as the arbiter i'll Justices cause.
CIergymen have no place upon the
bench, even as guests of honor. No one
but brother Judge should be permitted
to sit side by side with the occupant.

IN THE THEATERS.

The occasion of Fanny Davenport's
temperance in st. Paul is always the
signal for large audience to assemble
at the Metropolitan theater Such was
the case last night. almost every seat
In the house being taken. Among the
numerous productions of cleopatra"
Miss DayenpOrpS stands pre-eminently
forth as chief. Even casual glance at
the perfect completeness OF its presen-
tation will show what vast
amount of work has been lavished
on every minute detail. Oh each
situation, and on all the elaborate stage
settings. From the tire when Cleopatra
alightS from her f1ower-bedecked barge
until the final drop of the curtain the
elaborate and realistic scenery forms
perfect and appropriate background to
such finished acting as is seldom seen
OH any stage. Nothing at present be-
fore the Amer lean people can compare
with the tempest scene in the fifth act;
i'll fact evey act is gem of the highest
order of stage art.
Miss Davenport is always forcible in
her acting, and especially adapted as
she is for this part in both face and
voice, her deIineation of the character
of this much-Studied queen is above re-
proach. Never before has she been
given the chance that this piece affords
to show what latent power was in her.
She has been and always will be one of
Americas foremost actresses. yet it is
equally true that heretofore none of her
parts have given her such chance
for perfect and versatile work. AS
Marc Antony. Melbourne Mcdowell
equals and often excels any previous
exponent of that great mans character.
1t is hard to so present Antony'S weak
neSseS that they will not leave an I'm
preston OF contempt in the minds of
the audience for one who could at times
be so great and yet in all that referred
to Cleopatra be such traitor to the best
interests of his people. Mr.. Mcdowell
succeeds not only in doing this, but by
his personal magnetism is almost able
to make us love and forgive as he did
the woman who betrayed him fol-
selfish ambition. Walter Craven as
Kephron, the slave, was worthy of
especial mention, as was Mr.. Doyle,
who took the part of Demetrius. friend
of Antony's.
Inc company is an exceptionally fine
one, all the members being we'll fitted
for their various parts. The costuming
throughout is appropriate and beautiful.
Miss DaVenpOrt'S dresses and jewels,
especially the latter, are worth an
enormous sum Of money. and represent
years of careful accumulation with an
eye to this particular play. cleopatra"
will have TWO more presentations, to-
night and tomorrow night; then the
Kendals will take possession Of the
theater with their London company.

ter Morrlssey, of the Brotherhood

how any legal attempt to restrain men
from quitting Work in body, or strlk-
ing, can succeed. We rather expected
this Union Pacific injunction. 1t fol-
lowed that of Judge Jenkins on the
Northern Pacific. The committee on

ceeded his authority. it would take steps
for his impeachment. If these injunc-
lions hold. they deprive workIngmen of
every vestige of personal liberty. They
will virtually destroy labor organIZa-
lions and leave the members at the
mercy of employers. AS for the Union
Pacific matter, we Will not take action
until the men, through their griey-
ance committees, have made their
appeals and laid their side of the case
before the receivers. 1t is possible the
receivers may make concessions before

LAUNDERING INCAPACITY.

We have had day after day harrow
ing pictures in the Pioneer Press of the
utter incapacity of the Democrats for
sound legislation. In taxation. finance,
currency, nowhere have the efforts CT
that unfortunate party me. the approval
of that paper, while its every step has
been attended by its denunciatioD.
While this will no doubt have its
proper effect of diminishing Democratic
confidence in themselves and increasing
their awe for the genius which knows
so much more than they can know, it
will not. we hope, drive them to the
abandonment of the measures they have
set out to enact for the good of the coun-
try and the relief of the treasury. 1t
will make the road little rougher for
them, of course, but does not render it
impossible, probably to the surprise of
our contemporary.
But Democrats everywhere who have
thought that possibly our venerable
contemporary is more than usually &C
curate may gather confidence in them
pacity shown by the party of which
our contemporary is so bright and
shining light for legislation which
has even nodding acquaintance with
the constitutions, to say nothing of its
soundness FROM any economic point of
view.
The federal courts were kept busy
for some years in shifting with The con-
stitution laws enacted by congress to
perpetuate the fruits of the war in the
possession of that party, and it is COM
monty understood that the federal
supreme court was enlarged to save
the legal tender acts themselves from
the same fate.
In the state they have made lumi-
nous record for incapacity. The record
grows rapidly in magnitude as the senile
period of the party is neared. The laws
on the statutes of this state which are
futile are numerous; laws which no one
now knows, which no one ever sought
to enforce, save as they might furnish
vent for petty malice of personal spite,
would form a long and instructive list.
But there are others whose enforce
ment was attempted, and, being resisted,
the courts have decided to be in fiat de-
NAL of constitutional guarantees, or of
the rights Of man SO undenlabe as to be
needless of safeguard in the constitu-
ton. There is also list Of these long
enough to furnish sufficient certificate
of the incurable incapacity of the party
of our esteemed contemporary to steer
its legislation clear of constitutional
reefs.
There was the meat Inspection law, a
precious piece of state socialism, having
the usual mask Of a purpose to benefit
the commonalty, under which was the
private and selfish purpose of getting
gain by force of law. That went down
before every court it met-even the
municipal court of neighboring city
not being SO poor OF humble as to do it
reverence.
But, showing the decadence of age,
the growing senility of its years, the

Another large house attested the pop
ularity of 1.-The Lost Paradise" at the
Grand opera house last evening. The
play has surely made all impression
that borders on the sensational, by rea-

cote question in light that is conceded
to be both fair and interesting by the
opposing sides.

dom Of that party in legislative halls was
the rankest in its demonstration of what
our neighbor terms its "blundering in
capacity" There was Tawney's bill
regulating the commitment of the in
sane TO the asYlums, and which the
supreme court has just turned down,
while the voters of the First district
have sent its author down to congress
to look out for their eggs and barley.
Then there was that other venture in
state socialism,in which that party loves
so dearly to dabble. the state elevator
act. which set the sovereign state up in
the grain-warehousing business among
its citizens similarly engaged, and pro-
posed TO make it their competitor. 1t
was fine vista of similar Investments
which this act opened and down which
the socialists gaZed in rapture. Not far
down the vista Altruria itself beckoned
the dreamer to realization of his fam
cles of paternal state. But, alackaday,
heartless court demolished at one fell
blow that elevator and the moonbeam
structures of the dreamer, and another
piece of the evidence of the laundering
incapacity of the Republican legislature
was introduced to the jury.
And now comes another bit of legisla-
ton tumbhng about the ears of the rail-
roads, showing that even they are not
able TO keep that laundering old party
from framing laws thai butt their heads
against the constitution. The railroads
owed it TO the poor old imbecile at least,
that when they forced. cajoled and
bribed IL to enact ''our BILL" to see that
the bill did not deprive men of rights
secured by the constitution, or by law
higher even than that instrument.
We suggest to our neighbor that the
example Of those Eastern people who
kept their streets clean by every one
sweeping before his own door is worthy
OF Its attention, for streets will never be
kept clean if each one point to the dirt
before neighbours door and take no
note of that before his own.

an insane person may be examined in
any county in which he may be found,
the superintendents of the several hos
pitfalls make complaint before the judges
OF probate in the, counties of Nicollet.
Olmsted and Otter Tail, and cause COM
mitment, to issue under the law as it
now exists. There is no need of going
to the expense OF returning the patients
TO the counties whence they came unless
contest should arise or doubt exist as
to the mental soundneSs of the patient.
BY this means large expense for trans
portation and court costs may be saved.
1t would seldom be necessary to sum
mon witnesses from distance, as the
officers and attendants at the hospitals
would be able, in nearly all cases, to
furnish whatever evidence might be
necessary to insure commitment. The
expense involved, which by this means
would be reduced to the minimum,
might be returned 10 the counties con-
cerned by the legislature at its next
session.
Nor need there be any fear that parties
concerned in the commitment of ill.,
sane persons will be liable to action for
damages. Such action cannot lie against
them, because they acted under the law
as it existed at the time of The commit
ment, and that law was valid and in
force until it was declared uncOnstitu-
tional. They only performed their duty.
and no court could properly mulct them
in damages.
The legislature at its next session
should, and undoubtedly will, reim-
burSe the counties affected for the out
lay rendered necessary by the over
throw of the old law. 1t will be neees-
sary to provide for this by special enact
ment, as the funds now in the state
treasury, even if sufficient to meet the
emergency, were appropriated for spe-
citic uses, and cannot be diverted ther3-
from.
