IN STORE FOR BARRIERS.

The BARRIERS of Minnesota may learn
from the law recently enacted in Paris
what they may expect in the way Of
state regulation of their business. This
will follow logically AS a result Of
their success in getting the state to
regulate admission into their art, for
when the state assumes to say who
may practice a calling it follows that
the state can say how it shall be fol-
lowed, even to it's minutest details
France is logical in the paternalism
over which it throws the mantle of &
republic, and will not admit that there
inactivity into which the authorities
cannot enter and assume direction. So
the BARRIERS are to be further regulated
in the interest of sanitary science and
the faces of Frenchmen.
The project of police, we learn has
issued stringent orders to the BARRIERS
that all their instruments must be
plunged, directly after using, into boil
ing soap water. The shell, ivory and
celluloid combs are to be replaced by
metallic ones in order that they may
be disinfected. Scissors, razors, clip
pers and brushes must be kept in an
oven and heated to 100 degrees CEN
tigrade, or else be kept in a solution
prepared according to a formula rec
commended by the sanitary authorities,
before and after being used. Shaving
brushes must be dipped in boiling
water before and after use, and the
shaving cups scalded after each shave.
No longer will the barber spread the,
soothing powder on the scraped face
with towel or with the featherv
puff, for he will have to use a blower
and, finally, he must wash his hands
presumably in boiling water, after
each service.

A RELIC OF THE DARK .crs

1t seems more than strange that this
time of enlightenment, and of the dis
carding of customs and practices thai
pelohg TO crude stage Of human de-
Velopment, should witness the perpetu-
alton of legal forms which originates
under special circumstances that have
long since disappeared. The ordinary
legal document, whatever it may be.
is usually a mass of verbiage which is
not only useless for any practical ef
feet, but is simply ridiculous. AS an
illustration, the following extract from
the indictment found by the Henne
pin county grand jury in the case of
an alleged attempt at bribery is in
point

ments evidencing agreements between

ton of the scrivener was then an i'm
portant one, and he worked it for all
there was in it. He was paid by the
word; and, consequently, with all the
acumen of a modern man of business,
he never, possibly, contented himself
with one word where he could use three
or four. He studied out obscure syno.
nyms and methods of involved state
ment and possibilities of repeating tbs

he had swelled every statement that
he had to write to several times lis

hands of something less than 5000 in

races, that are not and never Will be
homogeneous, the dangerous indiffer-
ence of the native races and their ina
bility to take even an ordinary interest
in political affairs, and the craft and
commercial interest of the working ele-
ment have set up in the Sandwich
islands an oligarchy which there is
every reason to believe permanent.
Unless race characteristics, the most
permanent of all things known to this
planet, change suddenly and swiftly,
these people will continue to be ruled
by small circle of rich and intelli-
gent, but ambitious and avaricious,
men. Think of such a community add

article of government is that all men
are politically equal, and that uni
versal suffrage and the rule of the
majority are fundamental to any just
government Think of a senator or rep
resentative who can see what Mr.
Tawney saw, imagine that community
admitted into the Union; recognize the
impossibility of harmonizing it's con-
ditions or its institutions with ours,
and still remain an annexationist For
making sharp eyes blind, the stolid
fidelity of the thorough-going party
man is all-potent.

NONE so BLIND.

The adage that there are none so
blind as those who will not see finds
an apt exponent in the person OF young
MI Tawney, who has just returned
from a trip to the Hawaiian islands.
This journey was made by him ap-
parently for the same purpose that has
inspired all other Republicans taking
that summer pilgrimage-that is, to
discover new reasons, or reinforce old
ones for annexing Hawaii to the Unit
ed States Mr.. Tawney is far from
an unintelligent or unobservant man.
Neither Go we believe that he is one
to whom the American idea is a strang-
er. If this is true, it is remarkable
which he reports that he has seen and
not be filed instantly with fear and
loathing of the idea of Incorporating
that country and its people into the
American Union. It is a mournful wit
ness of the power of party proposes
sion and party allegiance over q man
that Mr. Tawney, having had passed
before his eyes the spectacle that
demonstrated the impropriety of an
rexation, should still incline to favor
it.
He says that the strongest opposition
to annexation is found among the most
intelligent class of natives. He admits
that the natives have little or nothing
to do with the administration of the

that Lee was as loyal a man as there

it came about was this. L had just ar
rived in Washington, and circulated
around among the crowds at the hotels
picking up what information / could
about the movements and plans of the
secessionists One day, about the 18th
or 18th of March, 1861, committee
came up from the convention then in
session at Richmond. 1 found out who
they were, and was determined to dis

a speech. 1 kept a diary then, as l

1.-THE chairman said that they had
been sent by the convention of Vir-
ginia, then in session at Richmond,
to express to Gen. Lee, as the most
distinguished soldier and one of the
most distinguished citizens of the state,
their confidence and esteem, and to
tender him the command of the troops
that had been raised to repel an eX-
pected invasion from the North. He
continued at some length and conclud-
ed by saying that the response of Gen.
Lee to the call of his state would have
great influence in shaping the destiny
of the commonwealth.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-Prominent
Virginians are now proposing that a
portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee shall be
placed in the capitol They say that
they do not primarily want to place
on the capitol walls the picture Of a
man who was the leader of the great
rebellion, in order to honor their mill
tary chief. But, they put it on the
ground that Gen. Lee was a contem-
porary Of Mcclellan and Grant in a
national epoch of history, and that fu-
ture generations should have an OPP
portunity to see the Confederate COM
mander; no matter what they may say
of him, or think of him and the part
which he played in the national trag-
