NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-CommanJer j. d.

more trouble. The President suspended him

ordination and ,ccntlucto unbecoming Of
ficer of the navy. He was deprived of his
number, and went into retirement. Later
he was appointed captain of the Columbian
line steamship Finance Now he is to be
deposed. The chief reason is contained in
letter -ecentlv received from Colon, in
which Commander Graham Is reported to
have said while bis ship was loading there:
II am no common merchant ship captain.
/ am an officer of the United States navy"
Captain Graham was interviewed his
arrival at Quarantine to-day regarding
statements that he had made disparaging
remarks concerning Workmanship captains
at a dinner at Colon on board his ship. He
denied emphaticaiiy that he had ever made
the remarks attributed to him and stated
that there had been no dinner served
board the Finance as described. Commander
Graham, on his arrival had his resignation
asked for by General Newton, agent for the

The Minneapolis papers do not
mince matters, and bluntly accuse
Gov. Nelson of trading off the Off
ces whose appointments he controls
for votes for himself for senator.
This, they declare, is no better than
and no different from bribery with
money. On that upper plane of
morals on which politicians do not
move and have their being, this is
true; but on their lower plane it is
regarded as the proper thing to do.
We hardly grasp the fitness of the
application, however, of this rebuke
by these papers. They preach the
doctrine that the offices belong to
the party controlling them, and are
to be given to those who have done
party work. In it's last analysis
this means that they are to be given
to those who have done work for
some one, and this results in the
final doctrine that one or a few men
are the party. If, then, it is legiti-
mate to give offices to reward party
work, it is as legitimate to give
them for votes for the man who, in
a contingency, is the party. But
the real distinction these men draw
between offices and money is that
the Office requires labor for which
the salary is but adequate compen-
sation. The purchase and sale is
simply the giving of an opportunity
to work for compensation fixed by
law.

KNUTE NELSON SENATOR.

1t was not such an act as a high
minded man would have done, but he
buried his honor, if it ever was very
high, in his inordinate ambition.
Nevertheless, we believe that Knute
Nelson will come nearer representing
the people in the United States senate
than Washburn has. He has come up
from the loins of the common people,
and he will be less apt to betray them
than would a senator who was born
with a silver spoon in his mouth
Hutchinson Democrat.
The result proves that whatever opin-
ion the rank and file of the party
thought or inferred that the governors
utterances in regard to his candidacy
was to be taken in a Pickwickian sense,
and that he was really in for anything
that promised a good job.-Red Wing
Argus.
Having succeeded, the alleged betray-
al of confidence attributed by large
number of Republicans to Gov. Nelson
in becoming a candidate after promis-
ing from the stump that he would not
be will be condoned, and he will be
extolled as a hero and a statesman
Had he been defeated his funeral
dirge would have been sung by the
same parties. Such is modern politics.

JUST CENSURE
On the Postal Authorities for the
Discharge of Panneli.

To the Editor.
Within the past few years humani-
tarians have interested themselves
seriously for the reformation of crimi-
nails and mention as one of the greatest
drawbacks in that direction the odium
which attaches to an eX-convict and
the almost utter impossibility OF a man
who has served a term in prison OBJ
tanning honest employment after he
leaves the prison. AS a result, the
doors for an honest life being shut in
his face, he is crowded back into
life of infamy, falling, by the decree of
society, lower and lower until suicide
a drunkard's death or the gallows re-
lieves him Of the thread of life.
A few weeks ago a man in this city
who had been employed in the postal
department for many years and had
always borne an excellent reputation
was accused of using a few Cancelled
stamps on a little package which, he de-
sired to send West. He was tried by
the government before a jury and de
clared innocent of the charge. The
cost of defending himself of this
charge, the agony of mind, even though
he had been found guilty, would have
been sufficient penalty for the offense
IN a case where d IHdIl > cIdEdclSI Hdc
always been above reproach and where
no other wrong act could be brought
home to him. But in this case, after
a fair hearing and trial, the jury found
him innocent of the charge.
It strikes me that the efficiency of
the postal department would not have
suffered in the least had he, under
these circumstances, been retained in
the service and given an opportunity to
live life of rectitude in the future.
Instead of which he was discharged
and his informer had his salary raised
500, branding him by this act as guilty
in fact, by the department, even
though the jury declared him innocent
The action on the part of the postal
department to my mind is very ques-
tionable and 1 do not think can be
justified upon any theory of right, or
upon the ground that the efficiency of
the service demands it, and while the
government gains nothing by this rigid
act, a stigma and injury has been
placed upon the discharged man which
may brand his entire future. Taking
the EXTREMIST view which the depart
ment could take, he should have been
retained, at least long enough to have
this matter cool off, and given an OPP
portunity of seeking another position.

An evening paper says: "John
Buck stabbed in the brawl, at Kent
and Edmund streets, is out of dan
gel" Some people are so tough
that they will survive, no matter
in what part of the body they are
stabbed.
The man who will deny relationship
with his poor old mother, whose
years have brought her lettering to
the edge of the grave, is the kind of
man which should be thrust uncere-
moniously into Jail in place of the
poor unfortunates5 whom poverty
and abject want have driven to
crime. A poor old woman, on whose
property lived her son and his wife,
was found wandering about the
streets of st. Paul, alone and friend
less. Her sons wife had made life
intolerable for her at home, and so
poor old mother wanders away, and
walks sixty miles in the bitterly
cold air, preferring anything to the
unhapplneSS prepared for her at
home. She strays into a large city.
She has a son there who will take
her to his heart, and soothe her
wounded feelings. What did she
think when he declared to the police
that she was insane, and no mother
of his. Did he feel any pangs of re-
morse when his mother was taken to
the depot in a patrol wagon, and
the only ones to say goodbye were
two strange officers, whose duty i'm
posed upon them the obligation to
see her safe to her home? The
memory of his deed will eat into the
heart of this unfilial son, and mis-
fortune will follow him.
This son returns to his work and
is respected by his friends and &C
quaintances. Contrast his fortu-
nate condition with that of poor
John Smolensky, an ignorant Pole,
whose love for his family is so great
that he works on the railroad
tracks on a cold day picking up
refuse coal with which to keep his
loved ones warm. Yet Smolensky
is seized and brought before the
court, which, looking only at the
technical violation of the law, sends
the man to the workhouse for
thirty days. His family is left to
take care of itself Each of these
instances is an object lesson, and
whoever the shoe fits can put it on.

ANOTHER INsANE HOSPITAL.

The bill of Senator Stebbins to es-
tablish fourth hospital for the in
sane. has some praiseworthy feat
ures One Of them is to locate it
near the cities Of St. Paul and Min
neapolis. This would save several
thousand dollars annually in con-
veying patients to the place of ref
uge and treatment. Another feat
ure would be to relieve the already
overcroWded hospitals. Senator
Stebbins lives in Rochester, and is a
member of the hospital board. His
Judgment is that the thousand or
more patients already at that asy-
lum make more than enough for one
place or for one superintendent to
look after. The building there is not
large enough for present needs.
There is also a crowded condition IN
the other asylums, and instead of
charging the present buildings 1t
would be the better policy to build a
new institution and locate it near
the two large cities that annually
furnish hundreds of patients to the
insane hospitals. Another advan-
tage of location would enable friends
from the cities to visit mild patients
from time to time under proper re-
strictions, without the expense Of
long trips to distant parts of the
state. Proximity would also make
it advantageous to secure the ad-
vice and consultation of specialists
in nervous diseases, of whom there
are a number in ST. Paul and Mime
apolis. There is an abundance of
suitable land near these cities that
could be secured at reasonable rates
for the location of such an institu-
ton, and suitable drainage, good
water and other cOnveniences are
more abundant here than in many
other parts of the state.
