This is the family history, the

incontestable. If the government can

debt, then it can print the same prom

WHEN 1T WAS BORN.

"The silver craze was born of the
panic Of 1S93," says the New York Trib-
une. "The panic was caused by appre-
hension Of Democratic free trade. Ergo,
Democracy is the parent of the free
silver craze" This is not the first time
political parties have tried to foist
their offspring upon others, and this
particular bantling is so annoying that
one cannot blame Republicans for try
ing to escape responsibility for it's pa
ternity. But the game will not work.
Hereditary traits and family resem-
blance of features are better proof of
descent than the denials of putatiye
fathers. A red-headed, freckle-faced
pug-nosed child cannot be repudiated
by a red-headed, freckle-faced pug
nosed father.

sessments have been conducted in the
past. The valuing of property for pur-
poses of taxation ought to be made to
approximate as nearly as possible to
scientific accuracy. The method which
is now being put at work in the as
SCISSORS Office may not answer that de-
scription in full, but it promises well,
it is much to be preferred to the alter
native of the guesswork which has pre-
vailed in the past and it is worthy of a
fair trial. We hope that the plan will
be carried to completion. 1t is certain
to give us more fair and rational as
sessment than we have ever had, and
to distribute the burdens of taxation
more equally than is now the case in
the great cities of the country. BY no
other principle can a certain amount
of favoritism and injustice be avoided.
So much depends upon a proper re-
adjustment of the basis of taxation,
in connection with the reduction in ex-
penditures that has been made, that
the Importance of this matter can
scarcely be overestimated. We have
great faith in the plan that has been
inaugurated, and expect to see it car
ried out with satisfactory results.

REGRETS LEES ACTION.
Secretary Hart, However, Pleased
With HOuItOn7s Appointments.


H. Fl. Hart, secretary of the state
board of corrections and charities, and
president of the national conference
of corrections and charities, returned
yesterday from ten days trip to
Grand Rapids, Mich, where he has
been in conference with the local COM
m1ttee ON arrangements for the nation
al conference, which begins in that
city June 4. Minnesota will probably
send 30 delegates, and Wisconsin ex-
poets to send 100. Beside the main
conference, there will also be in ses-
sion in Grand Rapids at the same time.
the Northwestern Association of Sol
diers' Homes; the National Anti-Tramp
society, the Society of Medical Officers
of American Institutions for Idiotic and
Feeble-Minded Persons, and the repre-
sentattves of the Social Settlements.
With all these there is every reason
TO look forward to an interesting and
profitable session.
With regard to the appointment Of
w. II. Holton as superintendent Of the
state reformatory at st. Cloud, Mr..
Hart said that the appointment was a
good one, In his opinion. He had
not known Mr.. Holton recently, but
he had known him long ago, and was
pleased with the appointment, although
he deprecated the necessity of making
any appointment at this time. Mr..
Lee, he said, had been there just long
enough to familiarize himself with the
institution and it's inmates and it's To-
cal conditions, and was therefore in a
position to give it his best work. No
matter who was appointed to succeed
him, there must be a period of break
ing in," as the work was Of an ex-
pert nature, and no man, however
broad his experience, even along lines
perhaps somewhat similar, could go
right in and take up the work where
another had left off.

HIS TRICK CAMERA.

E. Burton Holmes lecture at PEOPLES
church last night was fully as interesting
as the one week ago. Beautiful scenes and
excellent descriptions were given of Algiers
Carthage, and other places of the Orient
The modes Of religious worship were com
pared and described, and various types Of
faces shown. Among the Arabs it is consid-
cred sin to have ones picture taken. and
to overcome the fear his kodak inspired
among the people, Mr.. Holmes rugged it in
such a way to cleverly conceal the lens
making it appear exactly wrong end round
Thus he was enabled to stand with his back
to a staring crowd and apparently photo
graph some object in front of him while
he was really catching most excellent pic
lures of the unconscious figures behind him.
Some of the buildings. overgrown with WV
idly colored ivy, were beautiful and a scene
of Algiers at night was lovely as some
grand painting.
Brief historical sketches of all the places
shown were given, and little incidents of a
humorous nature connected with the lee
turer's trip cleverly told.

NOyGaini in Grades or Prices.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Dear Sir: saw in the w ky Globe
of March 5 an anonymous communication
from DonnellY, entitled. after the Scalp of
an Obnoxious Agent In regard to the
charges against the said agent know very
little about, therefore have nothing to say in
regard tp them. The writer states that after
Elevator No 2 was built here. that the farm
ers received better prices, grades, etc. Now.
out of justiceran fairness for the agent re-
ferred TO-. / must say, as to getting better
prices and grades after No. was built it is
all bosh, as marketed my entire crop in
Donnelly lastqfall to the amount of a number
of thousands of bushels of wheat and I got
the lowest price l ever sold for. Of course
low prices were general, but | did not see
any change after No. was built and began
to buy; also got as poor a grade as | ever
did, considering the quality; also dockage was
heavier than usual. l think that nearly the
entire wheat crop raised in this locality last
season was No. l hard although the highest
grade to be got was No. 1 northern. What
has become of No. 1 hard wheat anyway?
We do not hear of any more No. l hard
wheat, no matter how good the quality.
do think farmers elevator or even a fiat
house would be Of great benefit here and.
in fact, at all stations in the Northwest. l

BOOKINGS FOR THE MET.
Result of Manager ScOtt's Trip to
New York.

Manager L. N. Scott, Of the Metropolitan
opera house, returned to st. Paul yesterday
from New York city. Mr.. Scott's visit to the
metropolis resulted not only in the booking of
Loie Fuller and other popular attractions, with
which to bill the few remaining open dates in
the present season, but it led to a more i'm
portant move, which, in fact was the chief
object of Manager Scotts Eastern trip.
While in New York Mr.. Scott succeeded in
making arrangements with the famous cheat
rical trust" whereby he can secure for his
three theaters, in st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth, bookings of the attractions played
at the theaters controlled by the trust The
theatrical trust" so-called, is composed of
some of the leading managers of New York
city. Boston and Philadelphia. They are Al
Hayman, Charles Frohman, KIaw & Erlanger
and Jefferson. of New York; Rich & Harris
of Boston, and Nixon & Zimmerman, of Phil
aadelphia. The trust controls one or two of the
leading theaters in all the large cities of the
country numbering in all thirty theaters.
Besides Loie Fuller, who viii appear at the
Metropolitan opera house the evening of AprfI
g. and for one night only, Manager Scott has
booked Cissy Fitzgerald in "The Founding"

HOW CAN THEY REnu1Lpf

Popular turmoil in Italy has been
Gained for the moment by the down.
fall of Crispi and the formation of
new cabinet. This is the sacrifice de-
manded by an unreasoning populace
in atonement for the Abyssinian dis
aster. Now, as always in the history
of nations, deposition is the penalty Of
deFeat at arms 1t matters nothing to
a people Infatuated by reverses and hui
inflated at the loss of their prestige,
whether the operations which ended in
the tremendous defeat that Italy eX-
perienced in Africa were we'll or i'll
| conducted. It matters nothing whether
the military operations carried on there
| ity or the reverse. Popular indigna-
ton demanded scape-goat, and the
man who is undoubtedly the ablest
Italian in public life today bowed be-
fore the storm and retired from place
as the penalty of the Abyssinian re-
verses which happened to occur while
he was premier.
The clamor of the public has been
satisfied by this change of minis
ters. 1t is supposed to indicate a
change Of policy that will restore
to the Italian name some of it's lost
splendor. But how can Italy rebuild
her fallen fortunes? 1t is character
istic Of her people, as of all people in
this generation, that their political
activity is not constructive but de-
structive. They are ready to criticise,
quick to invent new political devices,
eager to resent misfortune, whether it
arises from misgovernment or mis-
taken policies. They are not of a tenn
per to sit down quietly and reconstruct
the fundamental principles that must
lie at the bottom Of every settled state.
1t is evident at a glance, for instance,
that the change from one ministry to
another in Italy must mean absolutely
nothing irrespective of the relative
abilities of the men Il charge of public
affairs. Rudini and Crispi are equally
helpless in the grip Of the unhappy
policy that Italy has adopted and is
unable either to abandon or to carry
to any successful conclusion.
AS we have pointed out, the remedy
for her misfortunes would amount to
domestic revolution. She is taX-bur-
dened, impoverished, engaged in for
eign enterprises beyond her ability to
carry out. Nothing else than a policy
which would limit her activities to her
necessities, and bring prosperity to
take the place of restitution, could as
sure her future. The people will not
have it. The same mobs that rose in
riot at the news of the Abyssinian
defeat are equally ready to rise against
Rudini with the first disappointment
that occurs under his leadership, or to
declare for republic, or to decree any
other change in the machinery of gov
eminent by which they fondly imag-
inc that they can correct evils whose
source lies much deeper. They are fol-
lowing a hopelessly wrong and disas-
trous policy, and imagine that it will
make difference to them whether one
man or another is chosen to execute
it. This is not the way of reconstruc-
ton, but of dissolution. Never can
Italy rebuild her fallen fortunes on the
same lines that have brought them to
their low estate.

MINISTER'S PULLED OUT.

have been done without being burden

They, however, were heavily taxed by
demands in other lines, and the desired
support was not forthcoming, so that
rather than conduct it in half way
manner, the society pulled out of the
work,
