sANro DOMINGO AND HAWAII.

A correspondent calls attention to the
attempt made nearly thirty years ago
to initiate the policy Of territorial eX-
pansion beyond the confines of the con-
tinent,, by President Grant, in the an
nexation of the island of Santo Domin-
go, and the parallel between the argu-
ments used to promote it and those
used to secure the annexation of Ha-
wall. 1t is true that there were no sons
Of missionaries domiciled and ambitious
in the former island, and there was no
Minister Stevens there to lend the
moral support Of the United States to a
revolution. But there was the same in
difference shown in the first attempt to
annex without consulting the wishes
of the people that we have in this latest
effort. This was strenuously urged by
Sumner as one of his many reasons
against the ratification Of the treaty.
To meet it, after the rejection of the
first treaty, the question was submit
ted to popular vote of the people of the
island. and it was practically unanimous
IN favor of the treaty.
Still so serious were the objections
raised against it that the senate reject
ed the second treaty, although it had
behind it the push of a much more
forceful and persistent man than Is the
present president. AS our correspond
ent points out. one can re-read in every
argument for the annexation of Hawaii
those made for the annexation of Santo
Domingo. There was the same need for
a coaling station, the same strategic
value and the same logic of some for
eign nation that was merely waiting
our rejection to take the island and
plant fortresses and naval stations I'M
der our noses. 1t was largely the moral
objections raised by Sumner that pre-
vailed then. and we trust our senate is
not less pervious to such arguments
than was that of the Grant administra-
ton

was present and addressed the section
on What Is It to Be a Principal Of a
Graded SchooF?' Mr.. Rankin opened
his address by CONTEMPLATING the sec
ton on reaching the dignity of a fully
recognized section Of the association.
He thought the section would be able
to do much better work since they were
organized, and promised them his
hearty cooperation in his work as in
spector. He thought the position Of
principal Of graded school depended
wholly upon what was made Of It, He
said that it was often the stepping
stone to something better, as the ranks
of the county superintendent were
drawn largely from the grades school

U. S. AFTER GRIFFIN.
Held for Having Stamps Alleged to
Have Been Stolen.

Mayor w. H Griffin is certainly
getting a run for his money out in Be-
atrice, Neb. 1t seems that he had no
sooner got done with the charge Of car
rying concealed weapons than the
United States authorities got after him.
One Of the exhibits noted when Griffin
was searched, that relating to a num-
Der of postage stamps was the one Sc
lected to make more trouble for the st.
Paul politician. Here is what a tele-
gram from Beatrice, Neb., received
yesterday, says about 1t:
wv. H. Griffin, arriagned this morn
ing, pleaded guilty to the charge Of car
rying concealed weapons, was fined 81
and costs. which he paid. He was i'm
mediately rearrested by United States
marshal on a warrant charging him
with having in his possession fifty-five
United States four-cent postage stamps
and secreting and disposing of the
same. alleged to have been stolen by
one Slobs, or Edmunds, of Indianapolis,
Ind, on or about Nov. 27, '97. He was
taken before United States Commits
sioner Cobbey and pleaded not guilty.
He was held under bond Of 81 900, which
he IS attempting to secure from st.
Paul parties. His trial is set for 8 ..

A CASE AGAINST THE sCALpERs.

A CASE AGAINST THE SCALPERS.
Those who favor the passage by con-
gress Of an anti-scalpers' BILL prohibit
ing absolutely the dealing by private
individuals in the unused portions Of
railroad tickets, will find a powerful
argument in their support in the en-
barrassing situation of a couple Of peo-
Die who reached st. Paul day or two
ago. They were On their bridal trip,
having gone from the Pacific coast
East, and for their return the gentle
man purchased tickets to Tacoma in q
scalper's office in Chicago. He bought
and presented these in perfect good
faith, but when they were offered for
the agents stamp at the st. Paul Of
flee it was found that they were wholly
worthless. They were return portions
of tickets sold during the worlds fair,
and their limit of life had expired three
years ago. The place where the date
was punched had been carefully plug

made and such other alterations as

HIGH SCHOOL PEOPLE
Closed Their Annual Session After
EIectinE Officers

TIL high school section held an inter
esting meeting in the hall Of the house
of representatives yesterday afternoon.
The first topic Of discussion was the re-
port of the committee on nominations,
the following officers being selected:
President, Prof. Hubbard, of Red
Wing; vice president, H. A. Weld, of
Saltwater; secretary, Prof. Hess, of
Sleepy Eye.
The general topic of lines OF improve
ment in Minnesota high schools was
discussed by number Of leading edu-
Gators, the various stand points of the
university and the normal and high
schools The session of this section
was brought to a close with a compli-
mentary summary Of it's deliberations

B. Alton, who has attended all its ses-

were necessary to make them appear
all right to the eyes of the purchaser.
This case of fraud Is only one in
stance of what is said to be going on all
the time, and Of what certainly does
give the railroad companies and the
travelling public infinite annoyance.
Here are these travellers stranded in
the middle Of a pleasure trip, thousands
Of miles away from home and without
means of satisfactory redress. Even If
1t were perfectly easy to prove the Of
Tense, business man, whose home is
in Tacoma. and who discovers the de-
ception practiced upon him only when
he is passing through St. Paul, does not
feel like going back to Chicago and iy-
ing there long enough to fight his
grievance through the courts. AS a
rule, man so situated would prefer to
pocket his losses and use his experience
for the future. If the fraudulent tick
cts had CHANGED to escape the vigilant
eye of the company's agent and been
accepted by a conductor, then they
would have been detected when turned
in and the loss would have fallen on
the company's employees.
It can be understood how, with the
tens of thousands Of ticket offices doing
business throughout the country and
the millions of people riding daily back
and forth on railroad trains, this habit
Of certain INSCRIPTIONS ticket brokers
becomes an almost uncomfortable annoy
ance. Relying first upon the difficulty
of detection, and second upon the prac-
tical certainty that prosecution will en-
tail discomfort and expense incommen-
surate with the amount to be recovered,
the custom Of changing tickets and
selling to confding customers those
that are no longer good goes forward
all the time. By one means or another
1t is certain that stop should be put
to it. The railroad companies are dead
against it, because they are generally
the principal sufferers The travelling
public loses more than 1t gains, because
one such case as that which we have
cited more than counterbalances all the
benefit from the occasional saving Of a
few dollars on a ticket.
1t seems to lis that, with a proper ar
ranCement requiring railroad compa-
MI 10 Of
within a reasonable time. and with this
provision stamped plainly on the face,
the whole business of ticket brok-
ing might very we'll be abol-
ished. 1t is true that the
public buys such tickets now only
at it's peril, but the system as 1t exists
encourages the purchase Of through
tickets or return tickets which are not
intended to be used. with the idea of
saving a trifie through sales Of the I'M
used balance, and thus open the way
for just such frauds as are complained
of and appear to be growing day by day.
To require the companies to redeem at
a fair rate their own unused tickets,
and to make dealing in railway trans
portation unlawful except by the au-
thorized agents Of the companies at
their regular places of business, would
appear TO be the only way in which to
correct the evil and put an end to
particularly mean and odious system of
rascality.

There was a very general attendance
