that arises in any human breast, the
facts as far as it has been able to
ascertain them. 1t makes no vague or
indefinite accusations, but tells the peo-
pie of Minnesota exactly what has been
done in their name. It gives the names
of its informants, backed, as to the
graver charges, by sworn affidaVits.
Can such things as these happen III
our community and the authors go
unpublished? It matters nothing to us
whether one deputy or another, one
guard or another be the guilty party.
An administration under which such
practices can exist is all wrong, ana
no man connected with it, from it's re-
sponsible head to it's meanest su5or
dinate, can escape his share of the
condemnation and vengeance that the
people of Minnesota visit upon the
heads of those who have betrayed their
trust. No such condition of affairs as
on the part of all whose business it is
to see that 1t is prevented or corrected,
if they are fit for the positions they
occupy.
Realizing fully the difficulty in OBJ
tanning reliable evidence in cases like
this, and understanding that the clam
or would be raised at once that these
charges came from "eX-convicts" and
from guards who have been discharg
ed, the GIL b e has weighed and sift-
ed every particle of the testimony, and
presents it to the public for their de-
liberate judgment. To us there is over
whelming proof that the administra
ton of the prison at saltwater needs
and demands an instant and thorough
investigation. If but one of the diabol-
mitted is found true, it is enough to
warrant a complete overhauling of the
present administration, and to cause
the people of Minnesota to register a
solemn VOW to wipe out, by a more
Jealous care for the conduct Of their
public institutions, the shame that this
has fixed upon their state.
In the name of our great and liberal
commonwealth, in the name of our
penal system, founded upon the idea
that reformation and not revenge is
the ultimate purpose of the law, and
in the name of common humanity, the

M'HUGH WILL CASE.
A Decision by the Supreme Court of
Wisconsin,

MADISON, Wis, Oct 22.-The long delayed
opinion in the celebrated McHugh will case
was handed down by the Wisconsin supreme
court today. The suit was brought by the
heirs of Owen McHugh against S. G. Mess
mer, Roman Catholic bishop, of Fon du Lac
and others. In his will McHugh bequeathed
$500 to Bishop Grafton. He also bequeathed
500 to Bishop Messmer, to be used fo.
masses for the repose of the souls of men,
bers of the family. The lower court affirmed
the validity of the will, except the provision
bequeathing $500 to the trustees of the Roman
Catholic church Of Chiffon and the provision
bequeathing $500 to Bishop Messmer for
masses. The plaintiffs appealed to the su-
preme court from that part of the judgment
sustaining the clause that the residue of the
estate be assigned to Bishop Messmer. The
supreme court reverses the judgment Of the
lower court, disposing of $500 to Bishop Graf
ton and also the order that the residue Of
the estate be assigned to Bishop Messmer.
The part of the judgment of the lower court
declaring void that part of the will bequeath-
ing So, 900 to Bishop Messmer for masses is
sustained by the supreme court.

PERRY HEATH'S REPORT.
Small Corps of Special Agents Ear
nestIy Recommended.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The report
of First Assistant Postmaster Co1.er;u
Perry S. Heath, for the fiscal year
ended June 20. was made public today.
The following is an abstract:
Special attention is called to the ne
cessity for additional facilities for the
division of salaries and allowances, but
above all other recommendations is
placed one making provision for a
small corps of special agents-about
ten-who are expert accountants with
real estate values, to inquire in the
field into postmasters' acquisitions and
demands and to reach a just ascertain
ment of merit in such purely business
matters as cannot be obtained by cor
respondence. There should also be
fixed a more severe penalty for the
punishment of postmasters who ped
die postage stamps with view to in
creasing their own salaries, resulting
in the diminution of the net receipts
of the government. Authority should
be given to secure leases Of postoffice
stations for a period of ten instead Of
five years.

"AFTER TAKING A COCKTAIL,

Col. Asa Bird Gardiner is the selec-

attorney. The colonel has taken to the
stump and is putting forth some sur
prising reasons for the election of the
Tammany ticket and himself That is,
they are astonishing as coming from
him and to those not acquainted with
Tammany and its adherence to anti
quated notions Of politics and munich
pal government. The colonel berated
the administration of the streets by
Col. Waring and accused him Of steal
ing million dollars last year in the
disbursements of his department. Such
an accusation comes readily to the lips
of one identified with an organization
whose peculations are notorious; which
always regards government as a job,
and which, to borrow John Randolph's S
characterization of the Federal party,

his auditors that when men talked re-

Fight in Ohio Resumed on National
Issues.

CINCINNATI, o., Oct 22-The poll

the line strongly drawn on the national
issues of the gold standard and the
free unlimited coinage of silver 16 to 1.

him. Now the silver fight is to be re-

is the election of a legislature, which
will choose a United States senator.

MASONRY IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The steady and uninterrupted growth
of Freemasonry in South Africa in gen
eral and this state in particular, is un-
mistakably phenomenal. Marvellous
has been the progress during the last
few years, and the progression made
and prominence attained are quite in
keeping with the onward march of Jo-
hannesburg itself. The praiseworthy
yet unostentatious manner in which
large sums of money belonging to the
various lodges have been bestowed is on
a par with the customary traditions of
the order; and on the establishment Of
a District Grand Lodge, some eighteen
months ago, it was given out that the
cause of benevolence and education
would in future receive closer atten-
ton than heretofore, and the untiring
and disinterested efforts of leading
brethren in the state have borne fruit
in that the establishment Of the Trans
vaal Masonic Educational Institution is
now almost an accomplished fact, The
constitution of the new institution is on
a self4supporting basis, and after the
| first collections have been made the en-
tire control thereof will be left in the
| hands of the subscribers, whether they
are Masons or not. The object of the
institution is to receive under its pro-
lection for the purpose of education and
during such period to maintain and
clothe the children of Free Masons of
every religious denomination, who
through altered circumstances arising
from the death, illness or misfortune OF
the bread winners of the family, are ir
need of such benefits. Already large
amount of support has been promised
and given. Several donations of one
hundred guineas each have been made
and five stands in the neighborhood oil
