ST. PETER STATE HOSPITAL.
St. Peter, Mimi, Training School
For Nurses.

There is in this hospital training
school for nurses, the object of which
is to tit young men and women for
the profession of nursing. They not
only become familiar with the care of
the insane, but are trained in general
nursing as we'll, so that after taking a
two years course, and graduating,
they will be competent to do any kind
of nursing and will be much better
trained than the graduate of general
horpital; because the training in the
care of the insane teaches them to
think and act for the patient, as we'll
as to wait upon him.
The course of study is graded and
extends over two years, consisting of
lectures and practical instruction in
all the details of the care of the sick
and insane. Young men and women
taking this two years course of train
ing receive an amount of culture, in
dependent of their training as nurses,
which will fit them for any occupation
they may choose to take up after
graduation, and it has the great ad-
vantage of teaching them to be order
ly, methodical and accurate, besides
developing in them the power of self
control.
During their undergraduate term of
service, men are paid $1S during the
first month and this amount is grad
ually increased according to merit I'm.
til after six months they are paid $25
Graduates may for good and extended
service be paid $35 per month. Women
are paid SIP the first month to be
gradually increased to $19 after six
months. Graduates may be paid $2S
Board, lodging and washing without
expense to nurses.
All applicants should be between

ease or deformity, and they are ex-
pected to enter for the full course OF
instruction. Applicants, on being &C.
cepted, will be expected to serve two
months on probation, after which, il
their service has been satisfactory
they will, on agreeing to remain for
the full course of instruction, be &C.

time. Address,

of Interest to All the People.

The people of Washington are deeply In
terested in the money question now at issue
between the political parties in the presi-
Dental campaign, but they have more
direct concern in the test Of the perma-
nence of the civil service system involved
in the candidacy of Mr.. Bryan. whose plat
form and public utterances threaten re-
peal or executive notification of the law.
Therefore, the address just issued by the
National Civil Service Reform League to
the voters of the United States, setting
forth the dangers to good government in
yolved in the contest, will doubtless find an
echo in the hearts of thousands here at the
capital who are directly affected as in
dividuals by the issue. But in a less per-
sonal way every citizen of the nation is
concerned. Civil service reform really ap-
peals to all, irrespective of locality or posi-
ton 1t means economical government
through the interposition of a system of
selection in order of merit between the pub
lie offices and the people eager for employ
ment. 1t means the appointment of fit per-
sons regardless of political preferences and
their retention when they have become
proficient in the performance of their
duties. 1t. therefore. reduces to a mini
num- when properly administered. the loss
of revenue represented by poor work by in
competent public servants. Hence the tax
payers have a part in the effort to pre-
serve the system from disruption and the
League has performed a patriotic duty in
putting the case plainly and forcibly before
the voters. who really have in their hands
the fate of the law.

It seems to be one. OF the essential fea-
lures of Organism that wage-earners gen.

enemies OF their employers. Upon this as

ing at cross purposes In this campaign will
surely be much surprised when the election
returns come in some three weeks hence.
In a few instances and in a few places
capital and labor are by no means cs
friendly as they should be, but in the vast
majority of cases there Is much more
of close relationship between the two
than is dreamed Of by the demagogues
whose business it is to msrepresent and
mislead. 1t has many times been stated by
some of the more conspicuous of Mr.. Bry-
ans adherents and campaign associates
that tens of thousands of American work
ingmen are wearing Mckinley buttons now
because they are coerced into an appear
ance Of republicanism, but who, when
election day comes, will vote for Bryan
Such a statement as that-and it has many
times been made of late-is an insult to the
American workingman and one which he
is likely to resent when the first oppor-
tunity presents itself. The independence
of the American wage-earner has always
been one of the most marked Of his char
acteristics. Another characteristic that
ought not to be lost sight Of even by shall
low politicians is his common sense; which
is admittedly far above the average of the
intelligence of Europe. In country where
ignorance is the common lot, it might be
possible to deceive the agricultural laborer
and the mechanic and the clerk into beiiev-
ing that their employers are unjust and
have no other than selfish, hostile interests.
In the United States such deception must
of necessity be Impossible. The inter-de-
tendency of capital and labor is as plain
to the American empioye as it Is to the
American employer.

The FIounderins of Mr.. German.

The speech delivered by Senator German
IN Baltimore last night will NOT take rank

specious pieader- The difficulties were too

duced to this: Our principles having been

reason. and no other, We now renudia,e

There are some startling assertions scat

with the pledge given that the whole power
of the government, IL the republicans are
successful at the polls, shall be employed
in an effort to bring such an agreement
about? And as for free trade, has Mr..
German himself forgotten that the free
trade features of the Wilson tariff bill were
prepared with the active assistance Of Mr..
Bryan, who was then a member Of the
House?
OF course, in circumstances SO inviting
for such indulgence, Mr.. German must
have his fling at the plu.ocrats. He Sc
lects for target the rich editor. Mr.. Cor
man has no liking for the newspaper Of
character and Independence. 1t dissem-
mates too much information to suit his
purposes. This is the way he whacks the
gold standard editor:
For remember, fellow citizens, all the
great press, with few exceptions in The
who believe in the gold standard, whose
interest is with the gold standard. and
after all. the newspaper man is not much
better than any other citizen. He has
as rule. all of the frailties that the bal
ance of us are subjected to. He will work
for his interests, and If he happens to be
rich he will be more exacting than this
poor fellow down here and myself"
This is pretty low demagogy. This poor
fellow is not described, but presumably
he was some man of conspicuously humble
estate. poorly dressed. Myself as all
Maryland knows, Is, not at all to his dis
credit, something Of a swell In matter of
attire. and rated as anything but a poor
man. His claim to speak for any poor

pretty broad humbug.
