The Times-Democrat urges, as one
ground for its proposition, that in the

paper is precluded from getting news
of events happening after shutdown.
TO this the Times sensibly replies that
the telegraph company does not keep
these offices open at night because the
business will not compensate for the
expense, and asks it's contemporary if

mands of the fortune teller. This money was
paid Nine. leila for the purpose of keeping
some secret she knew about Mrs. Thompson
This secret, it is said, she learned through
her mysterious art. The attorneys refuse to
say whether Nine. leila is really possessed of
some information damaging to Mrs. Thomp-
son or not, but it Is admitted that the for
tune teller was paid nearly 81 800 as ''hush
money" There are many things which the
parties interested in the case refuse to make
public at present, but the hearing in the
police court promises to be sensational
one.
Several years ago Mrs Thompson began
having trouble with her husband and in
order to have her misunderstanding with
him adjusted, Mrs. Thompson sought and

Mrs. Thompson. Some spirits are also said
to have figured in the drama, and it is said
these same spirits on many occasions refused
to do their duty.
The alleged Matchmaking scheme preyed
heavily upon the mind of Mrs. Thompson
and she is now said to be in bad condition
physically, and to some extent mentally A
few days ago she decided to end the mat
ter, and going to Attorney L. A. Gilmore. in
the Ashland block she laid the affair before

An effort was made by reporter for the

Speaker Reed, but by the trust itself.
We are aware that criticism of this
bill by Democrats is sure to be dis
counted by Republican readers, but
they can hardly refuse the testimony
Of so loyal a representative of their
doxy as is the New York Tribune, es-
pecially when given with intent to ex-
plain not how great was the triumph
of the trust, but to show, at a moment
when the bill was in conference, and 1T
was said that the trust would cause
the bill to fail If the senate rate We're
not accepted, that the fear was ground
less. 1t argued that the trust would
accept the house rates because OF he
immense gains it would make on it's
importations of raw sugar through the
increase in rates made by the house
over the existing law. 1t says, in the is
sue of the 18th inst, that the tmporta-
tions Of raw sugar since last January
by the trust amounted to 3,241 ,697,76S
pounds at an average cost of 1.94 cents
a pound. This is double the normal
imports, and 1t estimates that the trust
has a surplus on haid "of at least
1,650,000 900 pounds on which the pres
ent rate of 40 per cent duty has been
paid, the equivalent ad valorem Of
which is TIC of cent a pound"
But che new duty on raw sugar will,
under either schedule pending, be
about LIS cents for the average grade,
and it may be expected to add Z of
cent to the value of all the raw sugar
now held by the refiners. This amounts
to lover 81, SOC, 900 as profit on the raw
sugar they have imported in advance
of the duty. This is intended to be as
low an estimate as can be made with
any show of reason, and other esti-
mates, including that or the treasury
run from SIG, OOO,O 900 upwards" The fig
ure, it says, is unimportant, the vital
point being that 'refiners would lose
this profit, whether 81, 100000 or more,
by the failure of congress to agree on
any schedule" and it very truthfully
says that no sane person would mag
inc that the trust would let this hand
some sum slip through its fingers. So
we get the value in dollars and cents
of the great victory won by the firm
stand taken by the speaker and the
house; it was at least 81, 500, 900; it was
the trust that won it, and it will be
paid by those who, in any form, use
sugar in these free and independent
United States during the next six
months.
Nor was the acceptance by the SEN
ate of the house rates and this SILL
100000 the only victory in this heroic
contest for plumber. Secretary Gage
realized that either schedule meant this
additional profit to the trust, and he
wrote Senator Allison, in charge Of the
senate bill, suggesting that an amend
ment lay an internal revenue tax of
one cent a pound on all refined sugar
in order that this profit might be trans
ferred from the trust to the treasury
But the senate absolutely ignored the
suggestion, nor did those tribunes of
the dear public, the speaker and his
following, insist upon it in conference,
and thus the whole loot goes intact to
the real VictorS, the trust

A Chicago WOman's Accusation
Against Fortune Teller.


Against "a Fortune Teller.
The arrest in Chicago of Mrs P. Q.
Clark, better known in that city as
Nine. leila, a hypnotist and fortune
teller, at the instance of Mrs. E. II.
Thompson, has something of local in
terest in st. Paul in view of the fact
that Mrs. Thompson's former husband
is a resident of this city. The latter is
Edgar b. Thompson, mechanical en-
gineer in the employ of the Northern
Pacific, whose residence is given in the
1897 directory as living at Flat No. 81,
Albion. The troubles of Mrs. Thomp
son, who is a stenographer living
with her mother, have been spread over
several years Three years ago Mr.
Thompson secured a divorce. Mrs.
Thompson was a believer in the mys-
teries of the spirit world and was a
constant visitor at Nine. Zella's place,
where, she says, she went through
many weird experiences. Her visits to
the house, she declares, have been very
expensive, and it is for the purpose
of putting a stop to an alleged system
of eXtorting money from her that she
has resorted to the law and caused the
arrest of Nine. leila.
Not satisfied with the several hundred dol
lars she has already received from Mrs.
Thompson, the fortune teller yesterday
brought suit against the former, claiming she
had not been paid for professional services
she had rendered Mrs. Thompson. The mat
ter, however, was never brought to hear

Just at this stage Of the contest the

That the totals for these two con-

ness Of the contest and the interest
shown in keeping the popular young
people near the top. Miss Benner made
a big jump and went from third place

a charter commission under the home
necessity of adopting the DAILY resolu-
ton" Inasmuch as the DAILY resolu-
ton provides for an ordinance asking
the judges to appoint a charter COM
mission, and as the petition having
exactly the same effect was filed with
the court several weeks ago, the alb
surdity of this is apparent. Both of
these sleepy-eyed individuals are
touching oblivious of the fact that
the people of st. Paul are awake to
their own interests, and competent
and ready to act for themselves. Had
they not done this, the council would,
as it has shown already by repeated
refusals to act, have simply killed any
movement looking toward the framing
of a new charter. Even had it been
forced to do otherwise by public epin-
ion, months of valuable time would
have been lost, and the new charter
could not have been submitted for
public examination and discussion until
day SO close to the spring election
that its contents could not have been
understood or any imperfections rene

Thanks to the public spirit of our
people, acting through the G b e,
the charter question has been settled.

either ignore or nullify the law in de-

WIDE OF THE MARK.

Were we not so accustomed to hav-
ing our contemporaries disagree with
the views we take of the various pub
lie questions that present themselves
from time to time for public judgment,
we would probably be disturbed by
the dissent of our very able brothers
who edit that excellent paper up at
the jumping off place on the Red,
where Pembina keeps ward and watch
against raids of Canadian produce. 1t
excerpts to our criticism of one of the
Presidents appointments because it
was that of man who had failed in
his own business. thereby raising a
prima facie presumption of inability
to conduct that of the public. This
criticism, it says, is worthy of the late
Evening Press, although we can recall
no opinion given an airing in that ad-
vanced sheet quite SO sensible as that.
1t protests against our assumption
that sit is wrong to assist a man be-
cause he has suffered business re-
verses"
In this our contemporary fires very
wide of the mark The Globe says
that a mans failure in business raises
a presumption of incapacity which, in
addition to other evidence of fitness
for the work, must be overcome by
evidence showing it not to have been
his fault through want of energy, in
dustry, sobriety or ordinary good
Judgment. All these qualities are
quite as essential to the transaction
of public as of private business. If il
should appear, for instance, that the
Russian thistle had swept. over his
Dakota farm and he surrendered when
Senator Hansbrough failed to pluck
that million dollars from the treasury
to fight it with, it might be accepted
as a sufficient excuse. But the Pho
neer Express seems to take the ground
that it is the duty of the government
to assist those who have failed in
business and are in financial distress
solely because they have failed. This
converts the public service into a
great eleemosenary institution, and
vastly accelerates that socialistic no
ton, soberly proposed by ex-president
Harrison, that it is the duty of gov
eminent to provide occupation for IT'S
people.
AS there is nothing more in
MIGRATING than the consciousness of
the necessity of self-dependence. so
there is nothing more enervating than
the habit of dependence; and the man
or the party is a public enemy who
fails to combat the notion, in what
ever form it takes shape, whether
that of a protective tariff or the use
of the public service as a safe haven
for incapacfty or misfortune. Uncon-
scdous he maybe of the injury he
would do. believing, probably, that he
is beneficent, he nevertheless is an
enemy, the more dangerous for his as
sumed friendlinezs. This is one of the
reasons that makes us hostile to the
spoils system of office-getting, be-
cause, concealed under it's sophisms, IS
this same debilitating idea that the
government must support it's people,

will bring into the district courts of New
York one of the oldest specimens of fowl ever

bend, and clearly defined nostriIs. Two lips,
soft and pink, and regular upper and lower
lips take the place of beak while the in
terror OF the mouth resembles to a surpris-
ing extent that of an infant. She is great
favorite with the veterinary surgeon, who
has been boarding her for five months, and
follows him and his men about like dog
uttering a queer gurgle, unlike any noise
ever made by other hens. She is a year and
half old and has never laid an egg.
