GIVE HEARTY SUPPORT

The act establishing a separate re-
formatory for women is expected IN
come up in the senate today for action
of definite character. The merits of
the measure are so many and SO OBJ
vious that it seems almost idle to urge
them upon men who have the welfare
of the body polite at heart, and vet
the plan in contemplation is so COM
mendable that it seems scarcely pos
sible that too much can be said in its
favor The broad principle Of correc-
tive legislation involved is too well I'm
derstood to need defense or even ex-
PLANTATION. The state which does not
number among it's institutions such a
one as it is desired to establish in Min
nesota lacks at a vital point in its
facilities for dealing with the problem
Of criminal correction. The benefit of
such an institution, managed by men,
and intended to reclaim to useful and
honest citizenship youths who have
taken only the first steps in crime, has
long been recognized; and, in the case
of male offenders, there has been little

CONSOLIDATING OFFICES.

We publish in another column the
bill prepared by a special Immittee of
the chamber of commerce for CONSOLE
dating the accounting departments of
the city and county. IT seems to be
the sense Of the chamber that the de-
sired results would be reached with
greater certainty and success if the
consolidation Of city and county Of
fees were accomplished by separate
acts, instead Of grouping them in one
bill, as has been done N that into
duced by Mr.. Scott. The latter also
makes consolidation mandatory by the
terms of the law itself, while the bills
prepared by the chamber make it FER
missive; the act to be effective only on
the passage of an ordinance to that
effect by the council of any city Of over
$4,000 inhabitants. Similar Hills are
ready to cover the other departments
that may and ought to De united.
We do not care by what method the
desired result is reached, so that it
does not fall between the stools of con-
f1icting enactments We would remind
all friends Of retrenchment that the
time is short. The legislative session is
| already drawing to a close. 1t has
been demonstrated by careful irvesti-
cation that legislative action is ncces-
sary to relieve the taxpayers of st.
Paul. Nothing worth while can be
hxyf Ia oil II, Of
the charter, and there is every reason
to suppose that the hullabAioo which
has been raised over school appropria-
| lions is deliberately designed by some
of those who want to preserve their
sinecures and save their salaries, in
order to distract attention from the
vital need of legislation until It shall
be too late to act. On the face of it.
the Scott bill seems preferable, be-
cause it covers the ground, and be-
cause it does not leave reform TO the
mercies of city council where politics
are too often paramount to public con-
siderations. But, if there are legal ar
gumentS that make the other course
seem better. we will accept that rem
edy as satisfactory. Action is the great
desideratum. The people of Ramsey
county are supporting two sets Of Of
ficers where they need but one To
correct this we must have legislative
action. The time is short. Our people
should press this matter to an issue
without a moments delay.

A SENSATIONAL STATEMENT ISS1rrrr
Boilers From the ReDubIicoD Con-
Gus Nominee Say They Have Not
Been Bought.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 23.-To-
day was the first one on which SEN
arate ballots could be taken for a Unit
ed States senator to succeed ex-Sen-
ator Blackburn, under the ruling of
Lieut.. Gov. Worthington. All the morn
ing rumors were rife of the boiling of
six Republican members, who would
not support Congressman Hunter, the
nominee, and of combination between
q few Republicans and the Democrats
TO elect Gov. Bradley to the senate,
thus causing a vacancy in the gov
ernor's Office and making an opening
for the Democrats. Hunter had been
hard at work, using federal patron
age on the boilers, and at 10 o'clock
announced that he would certainly win
on the first ballot. This assertion how
ever, proved to be untrue. At u o'clock
the two houses balloted with the fol-
lowing result: In the senate the vote
stood: Blackburn free silver DENY.
Il; Hunter Rep), 10; Boyle (Rep.), 8:

In the house the vote was as fol-
lows: Blackburn, "a; Hunter, SO; Boyle,
8; DAVE, 5; McCreary, 1; Buckner, 1;
Sloane, l. Necessary to a choice 70.
The result shows that Hunter cannot
win in joint session tomorrow. The

tives Nance, Baldwin and Napier is

saying they would not support Hunter
because he was Illegally the nominee.
They concluded with the significant
statement that they were not bought
and were mot for sale" 1t Is probable
that Blackburn will be withdrawn to-
morrow, and many of the silver DEM
ocrats will cast their votes for Gov.
Bradley, together with the boiling Re-
pubicans. The governors friends are

Kentucky is presenting at this time
a spectacle that must be edifying to
those Republicans who yet idealize
their party and regard it as the ark of
the covenant for all that is moral. de-
cent and intelligent in politics. Espe-
cially can we imagine the feelings with
which those Of them who made stout
and sincere resistance to the PROPOSE
ton to change the monetary standard
witness what is going on in the Ken
lucky legislature at the present mo-
ment. They recall how, when that is
sue was made last year, their bosoms
thrilled with pride as they read the
glowing accounts in their papers of
how the noble, self-sacrificing Ken
lucky Republicans had boldly and
bravely declared for the yellow stand
ard, and, when the election gave them
the victory. how it was celebrated,
with what acclaim it was hailed.
What is now seen? A special session
of the Legislature, Republican by the
inscrutable dispensation of Provi-
dence, administered by the hand Of the
angel Of death. A caucus of the Re
publicans selecting one Hunter as
their senatorial candidate. Who is
Hunter? The man who was a candi-
date last year. but who was precipi-
lately retired upon the discovery that
he had promised the Populists to do
something for silver" if he were elect
ed. And who is his opponent? Gov
Bradley, who called the special ses-
sion at the express command of Com
mander-in-Chi Hanna. who has been
engaged since the election in making
Republican senators where he could in
order to get strength for the Dingley
act of restoration. When it became
evident that death had made the Iegis-
lature Republican, Bradley concluded
that he would like to be senator And
who is backing Bradley? Ex-Senator

delay in the application of the remedy.
In the case of women the necessity Is
even more obvious, and experience has
shown, where there has been a trial
of the separate reformatory plan, that
direct results, in proportion to the cost
involved. are all that could be asked
or expected
All of this is Independent of the SEN
timental considerations which must
enter SO largely into the matter, after
the practical side has been dismissed.
Strong as is the argument, in theory,
that may be advanced in favor of the
separate reformatory idea, it is not
more effective than that which rests
upon the feeling which is inherent that
women, in their evil as well as in their
better nature, present problems which
can best be understood and solved by
members of their own sex. This prin-
ciple is recognized in the pending bill,
and is additional reason why it should
be favorably considered. To this phase
that there are already more state in
stitutions than are necessary or desir-
able, and that sentiment, when it
comes in contact with business con-
siderations, must give way. To this
but a word of refutation is necessary
Sentiment and business can never be
entirely separated. If practical results
can be confidently predicted, as in this
case, it is so much the better that a
chivalric and sentimental motive may
be urged in addition.
The whole argument turns upon the
| matter of principle If it be conceded
that a state owes it to itself to do the
most possible for it's women, and the
contention is one that will hardly be
denied, it follows that the matter of
expense is a minor consideration But
it is not necessary to take advantage
Of this view of the case in the present
instance. The benefit of a reclaimed
womanhood, even in a single case, is
hardly to be weighed against money
cost; even if it were not so, however,
the bill as presented is without objec-
ton. 1t calls for no lavish expenditure
of state money, either as first cost or
for maintenance. It contemplates a
moderate beginning and is free from
features that might arouse contro-
versy. 1t is a measure that from any
point of view justifies itself. Both as
matter Of expediency and of princi-
pie it should be enacted into law 1t
should be viewed not as an experiment,
or as an expenditure that will prove
a loss, but as an investment that will
bring results in citizenship and general
good out of all proportion to the mod
| crate capital which it requires.

Conversion Bill Adopted by the

French Chamber.
PARIS, March 23.-The chamber Of
deputies today adopted the motion for
the conversion of the Madagascar loan
of 1886 and then discussed the issue Of
1000, 900 francs, per cents, redeema-
BILE in sixty days. Douner moved that
the loan be limited to the Is, O00 900
francs, necessary for the redemption
of the existing loan, and pointed out
that the financial resources Of the
island could not be relied upon, as
Madagascar was not yet pacified.
M. LebOn, the minister of the colo
mics protested against this assertion,
and NJ. Doumer continued, approving
of the Punishment of the queen OF
Madagascar to the island of Reunion.
but urged that this step proved that
Madagascar was in a state of rebellion
FINALLY, M. DOumer demanded that tn
bill be returned to the committee. M
Lerneyere De Walters, the famous dep
uty from Cochin China, who had a
great deal to do with bringing about
the annexation of Madagascar, where
he formerly held the position of French
resident general, suggested a loan of
20,OOO,OOG francs now and 10, 000, 900 later
M. LebOn accepted the amendment,
and M. DOumer's motion was rejected
by a vote of 299 to 226. Replying to
various criticisms, M. Lebon said it
was impossible yet to give Madagascar
ideal liberty. The first step, he ex-
planned, was to assure public order, and
legislation for a time must be severe.
The bill was adopted.

Kindly permit me to use a little more Of

my identity to Mr.. Nash, and thus set his

and charitable to fight in the dark. and has
too much consideration for his own exalted
reputation. In the first place. ! wish to thank
him humbly for the great kindness he does
me in not wishing to deprive me of the re-
enumeration he says | received. II probably
never occurred to him that somewhere in this
broad land there might be another honest
man besides himself. and as is characteristic
of this kind of greatness, he ascribes merce-
nary motives to any one who dares to disagree
with him. To disabuse his mind 1 wish to
assure him L did not receive any compensa-
ton, and expressed only my own convictions
in my article signed Progress" So let
him have no further worry on the score.
| am only a humble individual. Unlike the
vast majority Of mankind / have not vet
accepted Mr.. Nash's doctrine as my only sal
walton. l do not fully agree with him that
poor suffering humanity must crawl and
cringe at his feet and breathe his doctrines
in order to successfully work out it's own
destiny. In conclusion I wish to say that
when his Utopian plans shall be realized
and his mission accomplished, and poor de-
luded mankind shall recognize him as it's sa-
vior, he will pardon my temerity in dis
agreeing with him, and allow me, as a humble
suppliant at his throne, to live with him be-
meath the canopy Of the same heaven.

JOHN BULL OBJECTS.
Arbitration Treaty as Amended Is
Not Acceptable.

NOT AcceptaDIe.
LONDON, March 24-The London
Times in a leading editorial this morn
ing, gives expression to anything but
a satisfied feeling as to the senatorial
amendments of the treaty of arbitra-
ton. 1t says: The United States
senate has done what optimists af-
fected to believe was impossible, and
what cooler observers thought extreme
ly probable. 1t has destroyed the arbi-
tration treaty. The first amendment
accepted is alone sufficient to render
the treaty unavoidable and utterly
worthless. The senate has done more
than to wreck an instrument, carefully
forged by representatives of the two
nations. 1t has struck blow at the
principle of arbitration itself, and at
the confidence Of the world in the
American people. It's action strikes a
note Of levity. wantonness and ir-
responsible caprice such as is happily
very rarely struck by any legislative
assembly. In proportion to the bles-
sings to be missed must be our re-
greet for the lamentable, the almost ig-
nominious fate of an honest endeav-
or"
