HARMLESS VENOM.

Inc speech Of Mr.. Vest in the senate
yesterday Is only another exhibition of
helpless spleen. The senator from
Missouri is one of those who have
found that the administration :.
neither to be ibullied nor driven when
1t believes that it is in the right. He
is also conscious that he himself. in tI,s
warfare which he has chosen to wose
against the leaders Of his party, has
been hopelessly discredited. IT is tho
venom of the. disappointed and defeat
ed man, the politician who has staked
MS all upon false issue, and found
the people more honest and more in
tel1gent than eihad supposed, that
falls from his lips. Tillman was an OBJ

seems to be rather one that calls for
pity.
1t is sufficiently characteristic of this
attack that the occasion for it shouId

of an abuse Of long standing in his de-
partment. Secretary Morton has shut
down upon the free distribution rs
seeds by congressman, and covered a.
large sum Of money back into TIE
treasury. 1t Is this that awakens the
eloquent wrath Of the senator from
Missouri. One has but to read the
bathos Of his speech about placing a

tice Of seed distribution, to take tie

that even Mr.. Vest should not have
perceived how surely it would max,
him ridiculous. This was not how
ever, as any reader of the speech will
see, the real animus Of the speaker.
1t was the news from the treasury de-
partment, where the people were
crowding to offercongratulations on the
success OF the new loan, and where
the financial i.boiiay of the administra-

There are four lines of rails. laid in two

A PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.

The proposition of Ecuador for a con-
gress Of the republics on the western
continent, having for it's purpose the
further unification of their material
interests and the advancement of the
cause of republican government, is the
latest expression of an aspiration that
has stirred the minds of many men
since the Spanish colonies achieved
their independence. Long before Sec
rotary Blaine made his futile effort,
long before his commission went down
the Pacific coasts interviewing the au-
thorities and proposing the extension
of our tariff wall around their con-
tinent, the vision of galaxy of repub-
lies covering the hemisphere had float
ed before the eye of our statesmen.
But there were differences Of race and
customs, barriers of language there and
of tariffs here, that made them only
visions, incapable of realization.
1t is probably due to the Venezuela
incident that this new and more prom
Using movement is due, the more tang
Southern republics instead of from
their big brother of the North That
incident has shown them a danger
common to them all, even if not COM
ing through the same avenue Foreign
investments in railways, mines and ag-
riculture are liable to breed complica-
tons out of which trouble may come:
and it is but natural that the weaker
republics should want a closer relation
with their powerful neighbor. But it is
hardly probable that this country
would consent to permit any congress
such as is contemplated to put an inter-
probation on the Monroe doctrine or to
delimit it. That doctrine is our own es-
pecial property, and we must be the
sole judge of the need of its application.
But of the desirability of unifying the
trade and commercial interests Of ma
tons of these continents there is no
room for question.
1t is one Of the absurdities of our
situation that we should so largely
make our purchases of their products
and they Of ours through English COM
mission houses, and payments for
them through English clearing houses.
If free trade, such as exists between
the states Of this Union, could be es-
tablished, if our obsolete navigation
laws could be wiped off the statutes
and American shipping have the
chance to live that it had prior to 1861.
the triangular movement of trade
from here to England and thence to
South America would become a direct
movement along the line of the now
disused base. With the decreased cost
Of this shorter line would come de-
creased cost of the wares mutually inter
changed, and with that an increased
consumption. The pan-American move
ment Of Mr.. Blaine developed the hope
lessness Of any commercial union that
would have to take into account our
policy of protection.
The new movement is in the line of
what is plainly the destiny Of the west
ern continents. How it will come about
is still a mystery of the future; but
it is as certain as the law Of momen-
tum that some time the United States
will be the dominating spirit of the
continent, infusing into Its sister re-
pubiics Its spirit, its aims and its
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1896-02-06

ambitions. Anything that promotes
the feeling Of a community Of interests,
anything that encourages closer COM
merciai relations, anything that brings
the people of the two continents into
a nearer Acquaintance. will be force
tending to bring :1oout the ultimate
consummation. And as the initial step
in such movement, this action Of
Ecuador should meet with a hearty
reception in this country.

MYSTERY CLEARING UP.
Young Student Arrested for the Sen
sationnl Fort Thomas Murder

CINCINNATI. O., Feb. 5.-I4ast Saturday
morning the body of woman, evidently muir
dered. with the head cut off. was found near
Fort thomas. KY, few miles from this city
Since then the officers OF this city, Newport
and Coyington KY. have exhausted every
eHort 10 IND the murderer. The first clue
was struck today at Greencastle Ind deyel-
ord 0' NV
Tonight Chief of Police Dietsch received a.
S from Greencastle, Ind, to arrest
Scott Jackson, dental student twenty-four
years Of age. for the murder of Pearl Ryan
OF Greencastle, whose parents identified the
clothing OF the murdered woman; also to ar
rest. as an accomplice. William Wood, a
friend of Jacksons.
Accordingly at 1915 o'clock Scott Jackson
was In the mayors office under examination
by the mayor and chief of police. He stood
the ordeal with apparent calmness though II
lasted until midnight, most of the time before
the mayor and chief alone. His accounts of
MS whereabouts last Friday night was not
by any means satisfactory. He denied guilt
but admitted that he knew Pearl Bryan. He
could tell nothing about where she was or
where she had been during the past few
weeks.
The worst point of Jackson's story-the
weakest part of it's that about his conduct
on last Saturday.
He boarded at 222 West Ninth street On
Saturday he took valise and left it in Len
gers saloon, opposite his boarding house
This valise he carried with him all over the
city that day and evening. The theory is
that the head OF the murdered girl was proba-
bly, in that valise.
The accounting for this valise and why
he carried it all day and night puzzled him
more than anything else. In fact he pre-
varicated. and afterwards acknowledged that
he had lied. The matter will be sifted in
court tomorrow. Meanwhile he is commit
ted without bail.
GREENCASTLE. Ind. Feb. 5.-Pearl Bryan
aged twenty-three years, left home JAM 2S
ostensibly to visit her friend Miss lame
Fisher, on Central avenue. Indianapolis.
Her parents have made every possible in
curry, and find that she did not visit Miss
Fisher in Indianapolis, but that she was tax
en- to Cincinnati by Scott Jackson. She took
with her switch of hair. which was brought
here by the officers, and identified. as well
as the clothing, and as well as locks OF her
own hair

Then she remained for three days spending
the earlier part Of her confinement in a room
infested with mice and vermin and where ten
male prisoners were kept She was released
finally by the sheriff the railway company
failing to institute any prosecution or even
to specify her offense.
The officials afterward attempted to clear
themselves by saying that Mrs. Spaldfng had
become suddenly insane, owing to the alti-
tude Of the line.
Attorney j. S. McDannolds Yesterday said
that whether his client was ill or insane made
no difference; nothing could justify the treat
ment to which she was subjected 1--WE have
had the case in hand for soIae time" he con-
tnued, "endeavoring to effect an amicable
settlement. But the defendants never have
acknowledged our letters. Mrs SpaIding is
a remarkably handsome and cultured woman,
and the story she tells rivals the most vivid
passages of The Mysteries of Paris"

vesting public does not fear that the country

The Daily News says in an editorial on

success will repair the damage to credit and
will steady public confidence. Still, Secretary

Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle is the proof

OF THE INSANE.

The large increase in the number Of
inmates Of our insane hospitals is not
a new circumstance. AS Secretary
Hart says, the increase in the insane
population Is "as reliable as death and
taxes" A great many different causes
have been assigned for this, but there
Is nothing phenomenal about it when
viewed from the larger field Of the ex-
perience of other communities. In q
new country, which is filled with the
vigorous class Of people who are ready
to emigrate from their old homes and

i've classes grow with relatively greater
rapidity. This will continue until the
average ratio between defective and
non-defective population is practically
the same in all our states, and also

the countries Of Europe Some slight
differences may remain, growing out

this has but the slenderest bearing upon
the doctrine of averages.
1t is much more to the purpose for
us to consider just now what we are to
do with this, growing dependent popu-
lation, and particularly so in the case
of the insane. 1t Is pointed out that
within the next eight months the total
capacity of our present institutions for
the care of the insane will have been
utilized. We shall then be obliged
either to so overcrowd the hospitals
that their unhappy inmates cannot re-
ceive the care to which they are enti-
tled,or to turn new applicants back upon
the county jails and almshouses, which
are no fit place for them. 1t is particu-
larly unfortunate that the fight now in
existence over the location of the
have arisen just at this time, to make
the problem more pressing and unsolv-
able. With all the expedition that
could be used, the new institution
would not have been prepared for use

toward the construction of a new hos
pital until after the next session of the

would be more simple and more to the
public interest if they would drop Ioca-
ton and everything else, and agree to
refer their differences to the legislature
or 1897. That will have to pass upon
the matter in any case We may look
forward, then, to a year or more. at
least, before Minnesota will have a suffi-
cient provision for her growing insane
population. 1t is an unfortunate condi-
ton Of affairs, for which the only rem
edy would seem to be instantaneous ac-
ton by the new legislature when it
meets, to choose a SITE appropriate
money, and get to work early enough
next year to provide further acoommo-
dations before both our record in the
matter of public institutions and our
reputation for humanity in dealing with
the defective classes have had to suffer.
