Towne will be great contrast to the
major as a representative. Baldwin
mas made an ideal district member
he has introduced and pushed throuab
more local bills than any other man in
the Fifty-third congress, and has
hustled about the departments for his
constituents as no other man has done
But Towne has a contempt for this
kind of work. He intends to devote his
time to matters of national legislation
and while he will introduce local bills.

P0st-GiaciaI Floods.

Some ten thousand or more years ago
the conditions which had brought about
the great ice age were beginning to
change; the elevated land began to
sink, and a higher temperature slowly
followed. The long winter was grad
ually drawing to close, and the great
spring time of the world was beginning
to hasten its influence upon an ice-cov-
cred land. Tons-rather mountains-of
Ice began to melt, and the water filled
the river valleys to overlooking. Gravel
sand and mud were borne along by
these raging waters and deposited
whenever the conditions were favor
able. Ice RATS covered the surface of
the flood, bearing rocks and powders
from more northern lands.
All the rivers which had glacial
sources were greatly Influenced by the
final melting, says Lippincott's. AS
the southern part of the ice sheet rest
ed over northern Pennsylvania, the
Delaware and the Susquehanna were
typical rivers of the age. The rocks
and gravels which line their banks show
how well they have kept the record
In the Delaware valley brick clay and
gravel are laid out in beautiful ter
races, especially at Stroudsburg and
the Water Gap. Here the waters rose
some two hundred feet, and an arti-
fetal dam is supposed to have formed
the river into broad lake. The Indi-
ans, it is said, have a curious legend
about this flood. They tell US that the
"Minsies" were the first race which
dwelt here, and the region round about
they call ''Minisink," meaning that the
waters are gone''-a vague ramem-
brance, perhaps, of the post-glacial
foods.

HALF A LOAF.

Next to the direct taxation of rail-
road lands, the plan which gives
promise of the greatest good to the
unsettled counties of the state is
that of paying to such counties, out
of the gross earnings tax, a stated
amount per acre for all the untaxed
lands in each county, the amount
so paid to be used in the construc-
ton and maintenance of roads in
these counties. 1t is stated that there
are some 100000 acres of untaxed
railroad lands in the state. and an
assessment of five cents an acre on
all such land would secure to the
counties which are Disseminated
against under the present arrange
ment about $150,000 a year for use in
building and keeping up their roads.
This amount, it will readily be seen.
is greatly in excess of what has ever
been appropriated for the same pur-
pose. and it has an advantage over
the biennial legislative appropria-
tons which are voted and never
paid.
The gross earnings tax brings into

ally be increased. The five cents an

hundredths of the debts of this coun-
try, including the national debt, were

(a) The difference to the wage earn
ers is that of getting their pay in
money with power to buy less than
half what their money now does,
with any advance in their wages un-
der the wave of imitation beaten
back by an unavoidable competition.
(b) The silver dollar wasn't the stand

been on a gold standard simply be-
cause, ounce for ounce, the gold was
worth the most The average man
does not care so much for a dollar
to pay debts with as to buy what
he needs with, if he knows what he
wants. (c) There is not a dollar of
debt in the country, public or pri-
vate, that was made on the silver
basis. If the editor of the Herald
does not know any better than to
write such stuff he should keep still;
If he knows better and writes it, he
ought to get inewith the Pops, where
such things are permissible and
deemed praiseworthy.

AT THE THEATERS.

Robert Hilliard and his company
of clever comedians began a week S
return engagement at the Metropol-
itan last night, opening with "The
/. Nominee" which was preceded by
b the exquisite little curtain raiser.
Z "The Littlest Girl" There was a
very fair house, considering that the
company played the same pieces
When it was here week ago. Mr..
Hilliard was suffering from a severe
cold last night, and he was so hoarse
that it was difficult for him to make
! himself heard at times. The audi
enee was very enthusiastic and was
J kept in a continual roar by the
clever company.
y Tonight and during the balance of
the week the company will present
for the first time it has ever been
/ played on any stage the comedy,
"Lost-Twenty-four Hours" 1t is
! claimed that the piece is the equal
! of any comedy now on the American
stage, and if it is, it will certainly
be a treat to see this company play
it, for it can truthfully be said that
every member in it is an artist, and
notably Mr.. billiard and Mr.. Bah
cock.

CORRECTIONAL AND INDUSTRIAL

1t has been suggested more than
once that correctional institution
of a. new order was very much need
ed in the city, and the need has
shaped itself in the demand that a
place be found where women who
leave the maternity ward of the city
hospital can go with their children
and have an opportunity to earn an
honest living. 1t has long been a
question whether the babies home
admirable as the work done in that
institution may be- does not in a
certain degree encourage an evil
that might be suppressed in a meas
ure if it were made compulsory on
a woman after leaving the hospital
to care for her own child, at least
for a period of time, instead of be-
to the care of an institution. Such
an organization would necessarily
have to be run on a correctional
as well as an industrial plan, and the
one in use by the Sisters of the Good
Shepherd has been suggested as a
possible one. Such an institution
would have to provide work, and
in sufficient quantities to keep the
women supplied. Laundry work or
sewing, such as the making of over
alls or coarser garments, might be
tried. The need of money and other
necessarieS to start such an
enterprise would Immediately be
recognized; but it would be posi-
BILE after a time to place the work
on a self-supporting basis, and at
the same time to pay the women a
fair wage for their work
Then the difficulty Of getting these
women to enter such an institu-
ton would arise. To overcome this,
it might be possible to make it a
condition upon entering the hospital
that a woman go to this new home
for at least a year, care for her
own infant, and have an oppor-
tunity to work for living. In this
way the practical difficulties in the
way Of a woman who must earn
her living caring for her child are
done away with, and the chances
are very much against her having
any desire TO part with it at the
end of a year.

THIS Is SERIOUS.

Minneapolis has tired of fighting
for first place as the head of navi-
cation, has given up the unequal
struggle against the forces of nature
and tackled something nearer =
though not much nearer her size.
She wants the state capitol. Ever
since the departure of Menage and
the Floyd boys she has been a lit
tie short on capital. She has plenty
of real estate, and she fain would
round out her career as the place
where the laws are made The idea
may have occurred to her that it
would be cheaper to move the cap
itol to Minneapolis than to move ali;
the Minneapolis candidates for gov
ernor to st. Paul.
But that is not the only argument
which she has to present. She has
building to let. 1t is large enough
for capitol, and has an excellent
system Of ventilation. It's walls are
as compact as a barbed wire fence,
and it's roof as impervious to rain
as Slot gate. 1t is as picturesque
as a county Jail, and as convenient
In its arrangements as the inside
OF a grave. 1t is a valuable build
ing-or would be if it were located on
a Nebraska sheep ranch.
There are other reasons whv Min
neapolis wants the capitol. She has
heard that Kandiyohi, Feig county.
wants it, and she does not propose
that any mushroom municipality
shall get ahead of her in the race
for honorS. Her great manufacture
ing concerns have formed the per-
nicious habit of picking UP their
belongings and moving to the bust
ness center of the state, St Paul.
and that is another reason why she
seeks the bubble reputation even at
the expense of her universities, her
breweries, her politicians and all her
other public institutions.
st. Paul is not particularly inter-
ested in the matter. If we can help
Minneapolis in any way we hope she
will let us know what she wants. We
helped her out little on her SEN
atorial candidate, and if she wants
to be helped out again we are will
ing to help her out-and keep her
out. There is nothing small about
st. Paul. In fact, it's the biggest
thing in Minnesota. We are not to
blame because everybody wants the
capitol in st. Paul. They all have to
come here anyhow and buy their
groceries and machinery and Bibles
and whisky and other necessaries of
lie, and, while they are at it, it is
the most natural thing in life that
they should want their laws made
mere. We are manufacturing

MARRIAGE IN SCOTLAND.

Scotch Minister Tells Some Anus

There.
A Scotch minis .er has been telling
some of his experiences in marrying
people, which are rather funny.
Sometimes when he has asked a
couple to join hands, the four join
hands all round as if preparing to
sing ''Auld Lang Syne." On several
occasions, when the question was
asked Of the bridegroom whether he
took this woman for his wife, no re-
ply was returned. He then repeated
the question more pointedly, which
always brought out the tardy, but
cool, response "Oh, ayr
A common practice after the knot
is tied is for the minister to shake
hands with the young couple and
say: 81 wish you much joy" A
bridegroom once briskly replied:

ter on one occasion remarked to a
middle-aged bride that this was the
last time she should sign her maiden
name. She coolly replied: "I've

A BLIND LEADER OF BLIND.

Some one of our new women, some
aspiring maiden. tackling the prob
lens of economics, and apparently
mystified by the balance of trade
theory" applied to the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Record
to enlighten her as to the relation oe
exports to imports in foreign COM
mercial nations. Mr.. Curtis pro-
ceeds to shed his light on her dark
mind in that paper, and gives the
amount of each in several of the lead
ing nations. We haven't time or in
clination to wade through the list
and correct all the misStatementS of
this statistician, but if the remainder
are no more accurate than those we
have examined, this modern maiden
is getting a fair assortment of mis-
information.
For instance, he states the imports
of the United Kingdom for 1892 at
So, 11S, 10000 and the exports at
1888, 5S5, 900, leaving handsome
balance in favor of the nation. He
clinches this beyond the possibility
of any escape by way of error by
assuring his questioner that 1.-The
United Kingdom, Russia and Aus
tria-Hungary are the only countries
of Europe whose exports regularly
exceed their imports" For one oc-
cupying Mr.. Curtis position, and for
one having ready access to the sta
tistics which show his error, this is
ineXcusab BILE. Had he consulted the
November issue of the report of the
statistician of the treasury he would
have found tabulated the trade of
all these nations for each of the ten
years 1882 to 1891, the total of their
exports and imports, and also the
same for 1892. He would have found
that in no one of these eleven years
did the exports of the United King
dom equal, much less exceed, the i'm
ports. He would have found that
the average of imports for the period
1926 was $50, 152, 237 pounds, while
the average of exports was but
22S,026, 438. During the period 1887 to
1891 the imports averaged 400, 726, 1873
and the exports 243, 229, $50 pounds.

NEEDS A KINDERGARTEN.

There is dire need of some more
drastic kind of educational methods

paper like the Winona Herald

tween gold and silver is kept at Is to L?
(b) If the silver dollar that was al

it was cast out twenty years ago will
pay a dollars worth of debt, that's all
the average man wants. 20 Ninety
