WEDNESDAY, MAY %, 1895.

Objection is made to the policy
of the EVENING BULLETIN in OPP
posing immediate annexation, on
the grounds, that as an independ-
ency we can never expect stability.
Is it that we cannot expect a Re-
publican form to be a stable gov
eminent or is it that ours lacks the
moral and physical support of a
majority OF the people. If this is
the case upon what are the objec-
tions based? Six months ago the
supporters declared in speeches and
through the newspapers that the
government was growing stronger
every day. If it has gained strength
in the same ratio during the past
few months there is no apparent
reason why the government should
not be stable and continue so for
ever. True enough it has much to
contend with in the matter of f.
nances. But then the condition of
the treasury was not furnishing
when the change came; there was
an Indebtedness to pay and little
or nothing with which to liquidate
It, but under the management of
Minister Damon and by the intro
duction of business methods in his
conduct of the department the as
pect of affairs has been materially
changed, and the government is on
a stronger financial basis to-day
than at any time since the over
throw OF the monarchy. 1t is I'M
fortunate that circumstances have
been such that it has been necessary
to draw upon the treasury for the
support of forces believed to be
necessary to keep the government
in power, but this must be con-
sidered among the fortunes of
war" and is what follows in every
country where governments are
overthrown or even attempts made
to do so. The expenditure of funds
on these lines means the stop
page to Il very great measure of
public improvements no matter
how great or necessary may be
the demand for them. If it were
possible to proceed with the public
works it would give idle men en-
ployment and there would be less
hue and cry about stability, a word
that has haunted the people for the
past three years. But except in
cases OF actual necessity the matter
of street improvements must re-
main dormant, and the cry for
work continue until in the opinion
of the officials the hunger of the
men in the departments of public
safety has been appeased. If the
government could be induced to re-
duce the expenditures in maintain
ing an unnecessary force in these,
departments, and utilize the money
in the department of public works
so that the idle men who are will
ing to work could be given en-
ployment there would be less dis
satisfaction in the ranks composed
Of men who, while ostensibly sup
porting the government, oppose it
by sowing the seeds of dissatisfac-
ton.

THE OPIUM BUSINESS.
1t Still FIOurishes in Spite of
the Revenue Cutter.

While on his daily rounds this
morning a BULLETIN reporter ran
across man who is supposed to
know a good deal about opium and
the opium ring. After applying
the usual force pump the gentle
man yielded up the information
that opium was plentiful in town,
and also very cheap. He also said
that only few days since he was
approached by a certain individual
who asked him what he would take
to divulge what he knew about the
opium ring. The answer was,
Twenty thousand dollars and an
assurance that / will be put on
board the Australia two seconds
before she leaves" The "Dope
Hunter" replied that the sum de-
manded was too high and that he
would "see him later" 1t is hard
ly necessary to state the BULLETIN
informant has nothing to do with
the yacht Spray, although he did
say that the opium brought by the
Norma was landed in Honolulu
weeks ago, which latter fact may
be news to the revenue collectors.

Manila Cigars

need very little said in their praise, for they arc

be difficult to get better cigar for the price
at which Manilas are sold. We allow no one

Havana Cigars

by reason of their superior quality and name
are usually sold at high prices. We have an
excellent line of these cigars direct from Ha-
vana. While the quality of these cigars is at
the top-notch our prices have been scaled down
to bring these popular cigars within the reach
of all.

Havana Flats

is the latest novelty in cigars. This is per-
fectly flat cigar. The filler is Havana of
very high grade and laid in, like the sheets of
book, in the same way al cigars that cost
$4,000 per thousand. The outside appear
ance of the cigar conforms to the filler, and is
perfectly fiat. Those of our cigar customers
who have sampled them pronounce the Ha-
vana Flats of excellent quality and of unique
and attractive shape.

result9 If there was a demand

richer than Cresus at the end

Japanned ware includes cake

most useful article in the lot is
a toilet stand, very neat as to

The price of these articles is

PATRIOTISn AND RELIGION.

In commenting upon a Memorial
Day address by Archbishop Ryan upon
"Patriotism and Religion" the ST..
Louis Globe Democrat says:
There are those who, while conced-
ing that religious influence may have
done much for us in the past, insist
that we are now able to get along
without it, and that other forces have
intervened to serve US more advan-
tageOusly. This feeling is one of the
grave dangers of the republic. 1t is
true, as Archbishop Ryan says, that
if Christianity should be rejected to-
morrow, the public opinion which it
has produced, the institutions which
it has founded would survive for a
time; but it would be only for time.
With the departure of belief in it's
great truths and obedience to it's
sacred laws would come the destruc-
tion of the things which it has done
so much to establish. The catas-
trophe might be delayed, but it could
not be averted. All the ingenuity of
man would be unequal to the task of
arresting the decay thus introduced,
and final collapse would come in spite
of every effort to supply the place of
the discarded assurance of safety and
welfare. The amusement of doing
without religion has been tried in a
number of instances, and has invari-
ably proved to be a failure. Chris
tianity is an indispensable part of the
system of civilization. In the case
of this nation particularly, it is a
source of infinite profit, an essential
agency of social and political order
and progress. eff we love our country
we will love religious influence" de-
clares Archbishop Ryan. There can
be no true American patriotism where
Christianity is held in disrespect; and
all good citizens should govern them
selves accordingly.

has been claimed by some that it pro-
NOTED a discomfort that was detri-
mental to the accumulation of wealth,
but he finds that the nations increase
in wealth has been marvellous, and its
distribution more equitable than in
any other country on the globe, as he
shows by numerous tables. In fact
the full meaning of the totals Of the
figures which he puts forth to show
our great advance '"can hardly be
grasped by the human mind. In clos
ing Mulhall says:
These simple facts tell us what a
wonderful country has sprung up be-
yond the Atlantic in a single century
and furnish scathing commentary
on the books written by English
travellers only fifty years ago. English
men today have more correct views,
and regard with honest pride and
kindly goodwill the descendants OF
the Pilgrim Fathers, while the rest OF
mankind marks with wonder and adj
miration the onward march of the
great republic.

ONE of the laws passed at the re-
cent session of the Massachusetts, leg
islature requires that manual training
be incorporated in the High school
system of the twenty cities in the
state with population exceeding
10000 each. These cities contain
100000 people, so that the new law
provides manual training for half the
population of the state. Boston had
already recognized the Importance of
giving school children instruction in
the mechanical arts and sciences that
are so extensively employed in the
industries of Massachusetts. This
would seem to be a wise provision
which could be copied proitably by
other states. But why place the
limit to towns of 10000? 1t would
seem that there is plenty of need for
such training in towns of half that
size. If Mankato had manual
training system Incorporated in con-
nection with it's High schools, we be-
lieve it would be one of the best
things for the ultimate good of the
city ever introduced here.

FOR THE CURE OF lNEBRIATES

The Ladies Auxiliary of the
Kelley League, wish attention called
to the inebriate bill passed last win
ter by the legislature to provide for
the treatment of inebriates by coun-
ties. The law provides that when any
legal resident shall ecome habitual
drunkard he may apply in person or
through friend to the judge of pro-
bate, setting forth the fact that his is
without money or property to pay for
the treatment thereof. This fact
must be sworn to and supported by at
least two credible witnesses. 1t is
further provided that the possession
and ownership of family homestead
actually occupied by the family of the
applicant, or those dependent on
him for support, and not otherwise a
source of revenue, shall not be bar
to his right to assistance under this
act. The law further provides for
the procedure of the judge of probate
in the case, and having ascertained
that all facts are as represented shall
commit said applicant to reputable
Double Chloride of Gold Cure Insti-
tute, or any reputable institution in
which inebriates may be cured. And
it further provides that the county
commissioners shall have authority, to
make terms as to price for such treat
ment with the proper parties repre-
senting such an institution and upon
the certificate of the Judge of probate
shall allow bills therefore not to ex-
coed 800. The money so appropriate
ed, shall be loan from the county to
the individual so benefited to be paid
back to the county at any time with
in five years without interest.
A drunkard as considered within the
provisions of the act is deemed to
any person who has acquired the
habit of using spirituous, malt or fer
mented liquors, cocaine or other mar
cotics to such an extent or degree as
to deprive him of reasonable self-con-
troll. The ladies' auxiliary speaks
most favorably of the work done by
the Kelley Cure, and they have hopes
of great benefits through the agency
of this law, to those who are suffering
from alcoholism in the worst form,

The outcry of Gov. Altgeld against
the supreme court decision in Mr..
Deb's case will have tendency to
strengthen that decision in the minds
of all well thinking people. The great
mass OF the common people have no
sympathy with the position taken by
Altgeld and Debs, that the general
government has no right to interfere
in such instances as that which oc-
Cured at Chicago last summer; nor do
they believe that such interference in
behalf of interstate commerce and
mails, is simply move on behalf of
and wholly in the interest of corpora
tions. The interests of the people is
far greater than that of any corpora
tion, or corporations, and to deny the
federal government has the power to
protect the peoples interests would
simply be to deny it power of exist
ence. But both Altgeld and Debs
have plainly illustrated the fact that
they are not the true friends of the
wage-earners, and consequently not
safe councillors.

SIBERIAN AND WATTERSON.

The Troy Times tell the following
stories on Sherman and Watterson
which are worth repeating. 1t says:
In an address at the Colonial club,
New York, one night last week, W.
II. McElroy gave parts of Henry w.
Grady's famous speech at the famous
New England society dinner num-
Der of years ago. Gen. Sherman was
one of the speakers upon the occasion,
and he sat beside Grady, to whom he
said Now, don't tell these folks
that burned your cotton. 1t wasn't
my boys" Mr.. Grady in his speech
told OF the high opinion of Sherman
held in the south, and then slyly ad-
ded: But they think he is a little
careless with fire." Gen. Grant, Mr..
McElroy said, was seated next to
Henry Watterson at a dinner, when
Watterson, turning to the general,
said 81 have bone to pick with
you" "Well, what is it," asked
Grant. "You remember, in 1876,
when it was said | was coming to
Washington at the head of a regiment,
and you said you would hang me if |
came?" "Oh, no." said Grant; 81
never said that" 81 am glad to hear
it," said Watterson. 81 like you bet
ter than ever" But" added Grant
dryly, 81 would if you had come"

JAIL CELLS COMPLETED.

The contractors for the steel cells
in the new Jail have completed their
work and the county commissioners,
now in session, will probably pass up.
on the job and accept it from the
hands of the contractors.
AS this feature of the new jail is
altogether the most important of any
of the work connected with the
structure, the commissioners, before
finally accepting the work, should Sc
cure the services of competent, dis
interested mechanic, to test the cells
and become convinced that they alb
solutely are proof against escape by
prisoners. The commissioners owe
tlfis to themselves as well as to
the contractors, and as the expense
connected with such test will be
very slight, there is every reason why
it should be done.
The public, too, as well as the COM
missioners, desire to rest in the full
confidence that criminals are safe
from escape when placed behind the
bars, and by thorough test o. yhe
cells this fact can be made plain to
all. No doubt the county guardians
will take the precaution sugg ,ted
even though the suggestion ~ nor
been made, but there should now be
no question about such test that their
attention has been drawn ,lereto.

TRADE FOR THE WEEK.

Bradstreet'S review of trade for the
past week says: reports from manu-
featuring industries at seventy-five
cities east of the Rocky mountains
show that more than 227 important
manufacturing concerns started up
between April 1st and week ago, by
reason of which $4,000 employees have
secured work. The additional and
significant fact is found in the report
that no fewer than 17S,000 employees
have been advanced within the
period, an average of 10 per cent, of
whom siX-sevenths have received the
advance without striking"
Touching upon the matter of specu-
lation in wheat and cotton, and its
effect upon trade, r. G. Dun & Co.
say: more far-reaching than any
change during the last week, if really
warranted by facts, is the continued
rise in prices of wheat and cotton.
Real scarcity of either would affect

room to hope that the reports Of in
jury are greatly exaggerated, although
there has been some evidence during
the week that both the great crops
have suffered more than at first ap-
peared. Other changes are almost all
favorable, and some highly encour-
aging. Labor troubles are clearly less
threatening, monetary conditions are
satisfactory, and the substantial in
crease in the commercial demand is a
good sign"
They state wheat is coming forward
fully as a result of the recent adj
vance in price, and hold this as an
indication that the outlook for the
coming crop is not so bad as has been
reported, claiming that if fairly
good crop was not in prospect at this
time wheat would not be delivered SO
freely at the present price.

THE ELIAS CASE.
Loren Elias and Attorney Hall in the
CITY,


Loren Elias, after his experience
with the insanity charge at Mime
apolis Monday afternoon, came to
this city, and was accompanied at his
request by his attorney, A. H. Hall.
They arrived on the evening train
and put up at The Saulpaugh. They
returned to Minneapolis this after
noon after the funeral. Mr.. Elias
appeared much downcast and had
little to say when seen by a FREE
PRESS reporter. He appears to be
overwhelmed by the troubles of the
family.
In discussing the matter, Mr.. Hall
stated that Loren Elias is-a much
wronged man. He told an interest
ing story. of the family, as follows:
"Mrs. Elias has had great deal to GO
through with, and it has left it's i'm
preston on her sensitive nature.
When little girl, her father took a
claim in Wisconsin, and somebody
jumped it. He took possession again
and held it forcibly, and when a
number came to dispossess him, he
fortified himself in the upper story
and opened fire on the crowd, killing
number of men. For this he was
taken and lynched in the presence of
his family. Mrs. Elias husband was
killed in Mankato by falling off a
load of lumber and being run over,
and about four years afterwards her
sister died. All this had a powerful
effect on her, and in her respondent
thinking she thought an evil fate
hung over her life. She frequently
said that she wanted to die, but
could not Ego without her daughter,
Anna.
"Mrs. Elias took away from Man
kato about $1,000 worth of property,
and by hard work and successful spec
ulation she doubled this amount,
Later she lost considerable, and that
worried her. She was naturally a
bright and capable woman.
"LOren Elias was never insane. He
froze his feet last winter, and his
uncle was visiting him, and got an
idea that he was insane, and had him
sent to ST. Peter, but he was soon re-
leased. This, and the family troubles,
and his mothers dependency has had
an effect on him. He was always re-
ticent, as his old teacher in Mankato
tells me. He wanted me to come here
with him, to be on hand in case of
any further trouble, and to take care
of him."
Mr.. Hall assisted the county attor-
ney of Hennepin county for a year
and half, and took part in five prose
cutions for murder, the most promi-
nent being the Hayward case. Six
weeks ago he left the county attor-
ney's office. He states that his bust
ness heretofore has been mostly civil
