that clubs are being formed by the
keepers of some of the saloons in
which people are admitted to men,
bership on the payment of an initia-
ton fee, and where liquors and other
refreshments are served only to
those who are members of the club.
1t is some twenty years ago since
the state of Minnesota adopted local
option, which gave to a majority of
the voters in any town or village the
right to decide whether license
should be granted for the sale Of in
toXicating liquors or not In many
Of the towns in the southern part
OF the state majority of the voters
were opposed to the existence of sa-
looms in the community, and decided
that no license should be granted.
The lawyers, always fertile in ex-
pedients, advised the club dodge,
and in communities where open deal
ing was barred the keepers of the
saloons proceeded to form clubs of
the thirsty and bibulous, and re-
sumed their operations. The results
were disastrous to them. The courts
held, in the prosecutions that were
brought, that the clubs were mere
eVasions of the law, and that the
traffic could not shelter itself behind
the mask of individual and private
rights. The same result will no
doubt follow in New York, the more
certainly that a new and different
class Of men now sit on the bench
OF the police courts formerly occu-
pied by men OF the stamp of Diver.

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The action taken by the assembly
in instructing the city engineer to
build fences about the dangerous
portions of the bluffs of West st.
Paul, and to construct new steps on
the West side seems to determine
the responsibility for the recent de-
plorable death of two little girls by
the falling Of an embankment. A
great deal of unnecessary contro-
versy was raised over this question,
and it was made the occasion for the
exhibition of shameful partisan NAL
ice. The occurrence was one so sad
as to warrant an attempt to fix the
responsibility. The circumstances
showed that this could not be placed
upon any department or any indi-
vidual. The fact is that the exist
ence of this projecting bank, under
which children were in the habit of
going to dig and play in the sand,
was menace to life which might
have attracted the eye of any one
living in the locality, and ought
to have been reported at once by
some one to the council or the city
engineer. 1t was not done, and two
children paid with their lives the
penalty of the general neglect.
1t is clear that the resolution that
the assembly has now adopted might
as we'll have been presented and
put into effect three months ago. If
it had been, the accident could not
have occurred. The responsibility,
therefore, lies with all those persons
who might have prevented the la
mentable affair, but did not. 1t is
simply one of those cases of gem
eral oversight for which no one in
diVidual can be made accountable. It
would be cruel and unjust to lay
the blame upon one official or an
other, or upon the residents of the
vicinity. Nobody really anticipated
any such occurrence, and therefore
nobody took steps to prevent it.
Danger of any repetition of this will
be removed by the councils action.
That the occasion should have been
used for personal or political pUr-
poses is simply disgraceful on the
part of those who attempted it.

SORE EYES AND SILVER.

The Democrats in Missouri are go
ing to have a state convention to
Wrestfe with the silver question. I'm
fortunately there is no Carlisle in
that state, and all its prominent
politicians are worshiping the silver
calf. The chairman of the state COM
mittee gave some excellent reasons
a while ago why the party should
oppose free coinage, but yielded TO
the request of a majority of the
county chairmen for a convention.
The chief agitatOr among the county
chairmen was one Farris, who de-
clares that Cleveland is a gold bug
The New York Evening Post finds
the source of Mr.. Farris' dislike for
the president in a pension matter.
Farris was a soldier. Sixteen years
after muster-out he discovered that
he was entitled to a pension because
he had chronic diarrhoea. He got
pension. This stimulated his ap-
petite for more and he applied in a
few months for an increase on the
ground that his diarrhoec. had af-
fected his eyesight. The medical
officers of the bureau rejected the
application because there could be
no relation Of cause and effect be-
tween the two Affections.
Then Bland, his representative,
had a special act passed giving Far
ris pension, and it was made the
subject of one of the presidents
veto messages. The president took

tend our hearty sympathy to the
noble people of Texas who are now
using all their powers to prevent the
occurrence of the proposed Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight in that state,
under the conviction that such
fight would tend to demoralize not
only Texas. but the whole of the
civilized country"
The report was unanimously
adopted. Peter Bighorn, of Chicago,
favored the convention with a vocal
selection, and was later assisted by
Rev. DR.. Wharton in rendering an
other of his own compositions. Ev-
erybody then rose and joined in
singing a verse of Faith Is the Vic
tory" which introduced Gen. T. J.
Morgan, of New York, eX-Indian
commissioner, who made a short adj
dress and congratulated his audi
ence upon the fact that there were
100000 BaptiStS in the United
States, and that they are all engaged
in the interest of the Little red
school house"
SENSATIONAL MR.. DIXON.
Rev. M. B. Wharton, Norfolk, Va,
told the story of "RomaniSm getting
its clutch upon the world through
the temporal power" as he related
the history of Baptist missions, and
advocated their support and extern
sion. Rev. H. G. Dixon, of Brooklyn,
N. Y, was the next speaker. He
delivered an address on Christ for
the world" He said in part: 1.-The
church cannot bring the world to
Christ. That is the work of God.
But we can bring Christ to the world.
Our work is not to convert the world,
but to preach the gospel to every
creature. The church at home needs
to make known the fact that our
mission is not to organize a social
or a religious club for mutual i'm
proVement, but to preach the gospel
to every creature on Fifth avenue
and the Bowery. A man needs to be
saved from his religion, which, next
to sin, is the worst enemy to Chris
tianity. Paul lived after the
straightest religious sect, while per-
scouting the Christians. Great COM
mercial syndicates are distressngly
common. Let us hope that God is
not binding them in bundles to burn
them. The latest attempt of this
kind, to syndicate all religions,
Christianity among the rest, does
not harmonic with the spirit of the
Bible, which from beginning to end
breathes death to idolatry. A par
lament Of religions may be a great
success as an ecclesiastical menag-
erie, or a religious plaisance, or a
sort of pious show, but as a factor
for the giving of Christ to the world
1T was a dismal failure. I was there
and studied it's spirit. heard Christ
praised, in silence, but when His re-
ligion or His people were criticised,
it brought forth vigorous applause"
Benediction and a hymn brought
the services to a close.

DAVIS IN THE CABINET.
1t Is Said He Would Accept the
PreTMierShiD

WASHINGTON, July 10. - The
washington Star prints the follow
ing about Senator Davis presiden-
tial aspirations: Senator Davis, of
Minnesota, has been mentioned in
connection with presidential nom
inatiOn, but it has been rather in
the nature of a compliment and
hardly a serious proposition. 1t is
not believed that he really has any
hope of receiving the nomination,
and some of his friends say that
what he wants is to be secretary of
state. 1t is presumed that the ma
tiOnal convention is deemed the
best place to lay plans for gratifying
his ambition. The suppositiOn is
that Senator Davis will go into the
convention with the Minnesota del
egation back of him, and probably
with a call on Wisconsin, and i'm
mediateE begin some lively dicker-
ing with the leading presidential
candidates. The question has been
raised whether the Minnesota dele
cation would allow themselves to
be traded away by Davis for cab
met position, but it is claimed that
there will probably be no trouble
on this score on account of the con-
ditions surrounding the senatorship,
which would be vacant by Mr.. Da-
Wis elevation to the cabinet. 1t is
said that some of the leading candi-
dates for senator would smooth the
way for Davis to get the cabinet
plum.

POPULISTs IN EVIDENCE.

1t is quite in keeping with the pro-
gress of the agitation for silver mon
Ometallism in this country that the
convention in Georgia, addressed by
Senator Morgan and claiming to rep
resent at least a portion of the DEM
ocratic party in that state, should
be made up largely of POpuliSts. 1t
is. also a fact which the Democrat
who is staunch in his devotion to
his party should bear in mind every
where. 1t is the Populist in whose
interest this movement is started
and carried forward. 1t is the Peo-
pies party alone that will get any
advantage out of it. If Democrats
are short-sighted enough to play into
the hands of the third party organi-
zation, they will have to take the
consequences.
The circumstances attending the
election of delegates to the Griffin
convention are worthy of more than
passing attention. In no state in
the South have the advocates of free
silver been more active or appeared
to have a stronger popular feeling
with them than in Georgia. They
have the principal newspaper of the
state, the Atlanta Constitution,
which has simply gone daft over
free coinage. Speaker Crisp de-
clared himself on that side some
time ago, and ex-senator Walsh and
other prominent men joined in the
movement. Yet with this support,
the local conventions which chose
delegates to the state convention
were even more of q farce than those
held in Illinois under the direction
of Mr.. Hinrichsen. AT most of them
only a few persons appeared, and
these were generally Populists. The
state convention iself is rather a
Populist than a Democratic body.
The Peoples party representatives
have taken. the leading part, and
Democrats We're so far in the minor
ity that they felt themselves obliged
to protest against Populists having
control Of it's proceedings. The
presence of Senator Morgan, who has
made the great blundeE of lending
himself to what is really Peoples
party movement, could not conceal
this fact.
Nothing ought to do more, or will,
we believe, be more effective in
checking any tendency of Democrats
to commit the party to the free sill
yer movement than the strong proof
furnished in every state that they
| are simply lending aid and comfort
to the Peoples party. Where they
convince men that free coinage
should be adopted, such proselytes
are on the highway to Populism
! They may, perhaps, cast a single

not the usual custom, but they in

Rnl.er Coming TO st. Paul.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Lewis
Baker, minister to Nicaragua, Costa
RIGA and San Salvador, was a caller
at the state department today, accom-
panied by his son, John f. Baker.
Minister Baker is of the opinion that
the Nicaraguan canal is a most feasible
and desirable undertaking and that its
construction would vastly increase our
frade with China, Japan. Australia ana
ali regions of the Pacific. Mr.. Baker
win not go to Buzzard's Bay to call
on President Cleveland or Secretary
OIney. but he thinks that the secretary
will return to Washington before h6
leaves for Central America. The only
change that has taken place in tho
personal appearance of the exist. Pau
editor is that he is considerably tanned
by tropical suns and has allowed his
mustache to grow in the true Spanish
style.

occasion to observe that 'the in
genuity developed in the constant
and persistent attacks on the pub
lie treasury by those claiming pen
sions, and the increase of those al
ready granted, is exhibited in bold
relief by this attempt to include
sore eyes among the results of
diarrhoea," and concluded that Mr..
Farris should content himself with
the pension he was receiving. Nat
urally enough Mr.. Farris deemed
himself an aggrieved person, and is
of the opinion that whatever the
president proposes should be op-
posed. So he has bestirred himself,
in spite of his physical disabilities,
to get the Democrats of Missouri to
initiate the Gadarene swine.

a FELLOW FEELING.

The cases against the ex-treasur-
ers of Wisconsin, to recover the in
terest money on deposits of the pub
lie funds which was pocketed by
them, have come to a termination
in the decision of the attorney gem
eral not to contest the act of the
last Legislature, which directed a
discontinuance of further proceed
ings and a satisfaction of the judg-
ments obtained. The leniency of
the Republican administration is
thus put in striking contrast with
the strictness of it's Democratic
predecessor. The administration of
Gov. Peck began and prosecuted the
suits against these delinquent Off
GERS who had thus made large
profits out of the public. Some
of these judgments were collected
and put into the treasury, and
suits were brought against others,
going back as far as the incum-
bency of Ferdinand Kuehn, a Demo-
crat, and Henry Baetz, his Repub-
lican successor. Against Kuehn a
judgment was recovered for $685.
263, and against Baetz for
$75,4OS These judgments with
one of $4,000 against McFet-
ridge, recovered by the DEM
ocratic administration, the Repub-
lican legislature kindly and SYM
pathetically RENTED.
How profitable it was to those
treasurers to receive and pocket the
interest on the public funds, which
the courts have held belonged to the
public, is shown by the figures given
Mr.. Kuehn, if our memory serves
us, served two years, and Treasurer
Baetz four years, on salaries of but
a thousand dollars. The next move,
if the same party is in control of
p. the state, will no doubt be to re-
fund to Hartshaw, and all treas
urers who have settled the judgments
obtained against them, the amount
paid by them. Certainly if the re-
mission of the judgments against
some is just, fairness requires the
refunding of the money obtained
from the others.

1t has been supposed that Theo-
dore Roosevelt was of unadulterated
American descent. An incident re-
ported in the Chicago Times-Herald
puts this in doubt. 1t is we'll
known popularity that persons of a
foreign nativity, who have mastered
our language and use it in ordinary
conversation, when they become ex-
cited, break out into their mother
tongue. Senator Hill wrote a letter
recently anent the action Of Commits
siOner Roosevelt in closing New
York's saloons on Sunday in which
he referred to the "busybody and
Notwithstanding commissioner"
When MI. Roosevelt read this, the
correspondent of the TIL. says,
there came into his eye a wrathful
glimmer and he said: "Philqa. WV
seopMge COAublici E T A OES."
This clearly indicates Mr.. Roose-
velt's nativity as foreign, though to
what tribe he belonged our linguistic
editor is unable to decipher from
the words.

NEW YORK, July ia German
commercial paper says that last Fri
day ex-senator Spooner, of Milwau-
kee, had a conversation in St Paul
with President Hill, of the Great North
ern. Mr.. Hill told Senator Spooner of
his plans for the future relations be-
tween the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, saying that he had not given
them up. Senator Spooner told Mr.
Hill that there was no way to get
around the Minnesota laws, and fur
thermore that public opinion would be
very strong aginst special legislation
or a repeal of the existing law In ad-
dition Senator Spooner said that the
difficulties in the case of Montana,
Idaho and Dakota were just the same
as in Minnesota. Senator Spooner
was counsel for the Adams committee
and for the Northern Pacific receivers
in the recent law cases. Senator Spoon
ers interests are supposed to be cen
nected with those that are opposed to
the proposed union.
