THE IMPORTANCE

There is certain amount of amuse-
ment and information to be gained il

ing circumstance. "!f the nose OF

A glass of wine too much is said to
have turned the course of French his
tory. The son and heir of Louis
Philippe always confined himself to
certain number Of glasses, because
he knew that beyond that number he
was sure to got DRINK. On certain
morning he forgot to count the lasses
and drank one more than usual. Enter
ing his carriage, he stumbled; the
frightened horses ran away; the young
prince leaped out Ct the carriage,
inc ovelthrew the Orleans rule,
confscat d the property Of the family
and sent them into exile. If Mary
had lived a little longer, or Elizabeth
had died little sooner, John Stuart
Mill thinks the Reformation would
have been crashed in England. If
Napoleon had been we'll at the time
of the battle of WATERLOO, the result
mighthave been different. His indispos-
ton, 50 some historians tell us, made
it impossible for him to sit in the sad
die without discomfort.

accomplish among the dissatisfied
provinces of South America, who can
say what consequences might have

DOING WRONG.

The lines Of suffering on almost
every human countenance have been
deepened, if not traced there by nm
fa:thl'ulness to conscience, by depar-
lures from duty. To do wrong is
the surest way to bring suffering: no
wrong deed ever failed to bring It,.
Those sins which are followed by no
palpable pain are yet terribly aveng-
ed, even in this life. They abridge
our capacity of happiness. impair our
relish for innocent pleasure, and in
crease our sensibilty to suffering.
They spoil us Of the armor Of a pure
conscience, and of trust in God, with
out which we are naked amid hosts of
foes and are vulnerable by all the
changes of me. Thus, to do wrong is
to nflct the surest injury on our own
peace. No enemy can do us equal
harm with what we do ourselves when
ever and however We violate any mora!

latest benefciaries of it,. and to take
such action that new charter for St.
Paul, relieving us Of all our embarrass-
ments. preserving whatever is wise and
safe, and adapting our resources to our
present needs, is put before the people
for their adoption at the coming spring
election.

BANKER JOHNSOWS FALL.
Came to Grief Trying to Protect His
Fafher,s Good Name


Fathers Good Name.
LOGANSPORT, Ind, May 22.-John
F. Johnson, late president Of the State
National bank. was arrested today;
He took the affair coolly. The bond
was fixed at $25, 900, which she was una
BILE to furnish. He was taken to In
dianapolis at midnight. The following
statement was given out for publica-
ton today by friend of Mr.. john
son:
ga generous public should know that
the present condition of the State Ma
tional has not been brought about by
undue speculation or extravaganza on
the part of Johnson, nor by his excess
sive selfshness, but by the result Of
circumstances, over which he could not
gain control, and for many of which he
was not responsible. When his father
died, Mr.. Johnson was a young, sue
cesSful and enterprising business man.
He took upon himself the settlement
of his fathers estate, at the request of
the widow and heirs, not knowing that
debts he undertook to pay. expecting to
have no difficulty, but could not sell
real estate, ETC., and his means gave
out. Then he began using the banks
money. hoping. from his various en-
terprises. to be able to return the mon
ey, but was without success. He had
no other purpose than to maintain
his fathers good name by protecting
his creditors. He confesses his mis-
takes and offers no defense, except
that he was trying to preserve his
fathers reputation. When Bank Ex-
aminer Caldwell laid down the $780,
900 worth of forged notes before Presi-
dent Johnson and said: Mr.. Johnson,
you signed those notes?' the. answer
was given without a tren1or. I did
The expert said today that certain
bookkeepers in the bank knew of the
presidents crime, but the false entries
being made by the president himself
saves them from the clutches Of the
law. Business houses who were Dor
rowers of the bank have successfully
tided over the present trouble, and no
failures are now expected. PRESIDENT
Johnson will enter plea OF guilty
before the United States court, and
serve his sentence.

deadlock may. BE- prolonged.
There are few public bodies that
would care or dare to, make for them
selves such a record as this. 1t would
have been less eben and confessed had
the council at the outset declared that
it would not toach Affairs relating to
the street railway system. That. how
ever. would have left much time on its
hands, which itwoufd have had to fill
in with some demonstration Of an en-
barrassing activity. The street rail-
way questions were retained, as the
Cuban resolutions have been in the
United States senate, as a subject for
unlimited gable and palpable excuse
for avoiding the consideration of prac-
teal affairs. This council, and the
whole administration Of which it is a
part, stands a lamentable and self-con-
fessed failure. 1t Is no wonder that a
man like Mr.. Arosin, who believes that
there should be little honesty in poll
tics, and that city councils are meant
to look after public instead Of private
interests, is ready to part company
with 1t.
The people of st. Paul are pretty
unanimously Of the same opinion with
him. They have never had bigger
dose of incompetence and worse than
they have swallowed since last June.
Salt would not save the Republican
party in st. Paul at the next municipal
election, for the best thing that could
be done for it would be for the other
members Of the council to follow Mr..
Arosin's inclination and hand In their

be on the side Of gain, when we view
the record of the last twelve months,
if there were MOTTO be another meeting
of the council for the next twelve. 1t
would also prevent the local Republic
can organization from sinking any low
err in the public esteem, If further de-
scent be possible. And could Mayor
Doran and Mr.. McCardy be induced to
include their designations in the lot,
the community would feel that its gold
en- age had come again and rejoice;
and even the party. upon which they
now hang like an incubus, would heave
a great sigh of relief.

MASTER IN EUROPE.

What seems to us the most dramatic
and singular incident of the termination
Of the war between Greece and Turkey
has attracted surprisingly little atten-
ton This is it's startling proof Of the
absolute mastery today Of Russia in
the affairs of Europe. If the whole
drama Of this outbreak had been ar
ranged to lead up to a final act, in
which the car should appear seated on
his imperial throne with the rulers Of
the other powers kneeling humbly be-
fore him to receive his commands. it
could not flash upon the world more
clearly the indubitable fact Through
out the preliminaries Of the contest and
down to the time when Greece ac-
knowledged herself vanquished and
sued for terms, Russia was only an
equal among the six powers in the
alliance. The refusal to permit the an
nexation Of Crete to Greece. the tacit
authorization Of hostilities by Turkey
and all that followed were the work

be allowed to suspect that Russia had
large share of control. there was
nothing to prove it. The representatives
of the other powers were prominent
and voluble in al the instructions that
were given and in all the bulletins
declaring what could and what could
not be done. The French and English
premiers told us exactly what they in
tended, how far the powers would go
and where the line would be drawn.
Then came the mutiny of Turkey
against her masters, which fairly star
tied the world. When these powers in
concert directed the sultan to grant an
armfstice to consider the terms on
which peace might be made, he re-
turned what was practically con-
temptuous refusal. He declined to take
the matter up until after the feast of
Bairam. He announced, later, condi-
tons that It would have been impos-
sible for Europe to accept or Greece to
fulfill, and, with his splendid fighting
machine equipped ready for action, he
stood upon his privilege. If the pow
ers were not satisfied, he directed them
to proceed to Pharsala within the zone
Of battle and there discuss the matter
with him. This brought Europe face
to face with the choice between aban-
doning its whole position and its doc
trine of maintaining the balance Of

TALKING COMMON SENSE.

When Editor Hoard, of the Monte
video Leader, takes his eyes from con-
templating visions Of the money power
and its Internal Vaccinations to Danish
silver and enhance gold in order to
make the great mass poorer and itself
richer-strangely blind that when the
mass is poor it cannot be rich-and puts
them on actual conditions, he writes
with sanity and a commonsensenes
that contrasts wildly with his views
when he let's his Imagination loose on
imaginary monsters. He then sees that
we raise here the necessaries of life,
the great food staples, in abundance;
that 1--WE have the soil, the climate and
all the essential conditions for making
a li1A,g," even If prices are low, and.
hoping that they may be better, he
urges his readers ''to study the great
question of how to raise two ears of
corn where they raised one before and
how to make two blades of grass grow
where one grew before" If he will now
tell his farmer readers that they are
not alone in the shrinkage Of prices;
that it. is UNIVERSAL; that, in spite Of
legislation intended to prevent It, man
ufacturers find their prices forced down
equally with farm produce, and that
even the money power has to take re-
turns on It's investments so per cent
less than formerly, he will aid them to
contentment, now disturbed by dem
agogic and baseless assurance that
they alone suffer from price depreci-
alton.
Pursuing his theme, the editor Of the
Leader goes on to say:
II there are any wise conclusions to be
drawn from the experiences OF the past
few years, they lie in the direction Of better
methods and more intense farming. Not that
our farms or fields should be larger, but that
the yield per acre, per field, per horse power
and per man power, should be greater. It
acre results from three hundred-and twenty
acre farm. 1t means that a bunch Of seven
year-old- timber-heel steers are money losers.
1t means that COW that gives skim milk
or that produce only a hundred pounds
of butter in two hundred and fifty days isn't
worth milking. 1t means that a hog that Is
built only for racing purposes isn't worthy
the name of ''porker." II means that breed
of hens that cackles without laying should
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-05-23

be potted before they arrive at the age OF
discretion and their posterity cut of before
they are born. Finally, 1t means that the
average farmer cannot afford to waste even
the screenings or the little potatoes or the
sour milk or the corn stalks and straw, or
the grain and grass that grows In the cor
ners Of the fields and fences. but that his
system of farming should contemplate the
consumption of all these on the farm and
their conversion into something that VIII
pay, whether it be beef or butter or eggs or
pork or mutton or wool.
These are wise words we'll put. The
fact Is that, ever since the war, habits
of living, formed on the inflated prices
caused by the depreciation of the cur
rency during and subsequent to that
time, have led to the violation of eco
nomic laws by everybody These laws
have been steadily pressing for a re-
turn to natural conditions where only
slow accretions of wealth are possible,
where frugality, thrift and industry are
the conditions of comfort, where the
margin of profit is small, and during
all that time we have all been trying
to circumvent these laws. Congresses
have been and even now one is bent
on fatuously resisting them and try
ing to create by mere fat that pros
perity that can only come through IN
dividual economies. The natural pro-
cesses Of the distribution Of wealth,
created by labor applied to natural re-
sources, have been persistently inter-
fered with, the only result being to
foment discomfort by the spectacle OF
the rapid accretions Of wealth by a
few from the forced contributions OF
the many. Present conditions are but
the economic penalties we, as people,
are paying for the violation Of economic
laws. We may obstruct for while the
operation of these laws, but In time
they work their will and have their
way. The sooner all realize that pres
emit price conditions are permanent, that
they are universal, that they are nat
ural results and must be accepted, the
better it will be for the peace of the
country.

SPENT A BUSY DAY
OF 1T.
MORE INDICTMENTS COMING.
PORT, GOES ON THE ANXIOUS
SEAT.
CONFERENCE REPORTED
Congressman Stevens. Grain Jnsuec-
tor Clausen and County Auditor
Sullivan Get Together.

The grand jury took a rest yester-
day, but their servant, Attorney An
derson, spent a busy day. 1t was
said he was drawing indictments Just
VINO the grand jury have decided to
ring In this time remains to be seen.
tomorrow will probably disclose the re-
suits of yesterdays efforts on the part
OF the county attorney to draw an in
d1ctment or two that will hold water.
All sorts of rumors were doing serv-
Ice yesterday, but most of them related
to one man and his friends. While it
had been semi-officially given out that
the connection Of the gentleman in
question with certain bank had been
found to be such that no Indictment
would be brought against him, his
friends still remained exercised
about the result and hoped in
some way-legitimate of course
TO head off what they con-
slider would, at the most, be regarded
as technical fault, and which the first
jury that had a chance would so de-
clare it to be. But yesterdays rumors
were disheartening, for it was said that
the grand jury had ordered an indict-
ment drawn, and if the bill isn't recon-
sidered tomorrow, it may be returned at
that time. Whether or not there are
any good grounds for this story, time
will probably disclose.
While 1t has nothing particular to do
with the rumors of yesterday it appears
that Congressman Stevens is still hold
ing conferences. He was one of a
party Of five who sought secluded
corner in the basement of the city
hall FridaYeand spent some time talk
ing over certain matters. No grand
jurymen were present, this time. Chief
Grain Inspector A. c. Clausen was
there, and County Auditor Sullivan
and County Auditor Sullivans' son, and
one or two others The gentlemen were
seen to enter an office, and, as they
disappeared from the office, and the
only place in which they could dis
appear was vault, the presumption
is that is where they went. Why there
even be guessed at. Mr.. Clausen, who
went to Chicago last night, unless he
changed his mind, when asked by q
reporter for the G | o what was go
ing on, said the meeting was accident
al. He had gone with young Mr.. Sui
1ivan, who is an attache Of the grain
inspection office, to the office Of the
latter's father, County Auditor Sulli-
van, and the two had run across Con-
gresham Stevens, who is warm per-
sonal friend of the grain inspector.
