Suspected Italian BanditH Are
Fined S15 Each

Some one blundered in the nature Of the
charge placed against the two Italians who
were arrested while pursuing Miss Rosa Dohnl
during the recent operations OF the hold-up
artists who have infested St. Paul and the
men were yesterday allowed their liberty upon
the payment Of a SIS fine each. Michael Ber-
linguri and Michael Granfragici were the
names given by the men when taken into
custody and one. Of them carried an ugly
looking revolver when arrested while the
other was armed with razor and two knives.
The officers who made the arrest were de-
tailed in the district near West Seventh
ups had taken place, and trailed the Italians
until they saw them chase Miss Dohm. The
young woman received a bad fright, but
managed to reach her home before being over
taken by the men, who some of the authori-
ties have no hesitancy in accusing Of a con-
templated hold-up. An old time garrote used
Tor strangling victims to prevent any outcry,
was also found on the sidewalk and 1t was
believed by the police to have been dropped
by one Of the pair when approached by the
detectives. When taken to the central station
Granfragfci was only charged with vagrancy
and carrying concealed weapons, while his
companion was accused of the still less Of

the men were tried Miss Dohm testified to
their pursuit of her the evening of arrest

strong plea to have the men put away as
dangerous characters, but the nature of the
charge permitted but the light penalty in

STATISTICS OF CROPS.
Commissioners Lomen Presents HIS
Annual ReDort

State Printer Whitney yesterday received
from the press the twenty-seventh annual
report of the commissioner OF statistics COW
ering very fully the various agricultural mat
ters for the year 1895. Commissioners Lomen
in a preface, explains that the work Is as
thorough as 1t can be made in spite OF what
he terms a decided aversion on the part OF
counties to furnish correct statements to the
township assessors. As a reason for this
failure, Mr.. Lomen attributes the general be-
lief that to furnish the information concern
ing crops IS playing into the hands Of gam
blers and elevator men. He further finds
that the apparent reluctance on the part OF
county assessors arises from a peculiar mis-
take in the original law touching upon the
compensation. The law reads "ten cents q
form" when 1t should be 'ten cents farm"
and the commissioner suggests to the legis-
lature that 1t devise a remedy to overcome
the reluctance mentioned.
The report is a sea Of figures and con-
tains much in the way of interesting informs
alton. For example, the total acreage for
1895 amounted to 6,54 ,s33 in crops, as against
5.912 740 in 1894. Comparative tables are given
showing the grain products raised in the
various counties. There are figures about
potatoes. beans, sugar cane hay flax grass
apples, grapes, dairy products, bees and
honey, sheep and wool. Each county Is cred
tied with the amount Of the various products
raised, while at the end Of the report are a
quantity Of miscellaneous statistics giving
area, population and a little local history OF
each county, a weather review for the year
and several tables of figures an naturalization,
marriages and divorces.

COMPARISON OF TAx.Ttox

If the preliminary notes sound prophe-
cies Of legislation instead of present de-
sires of benefeiaries, the. appropriation
bill Of the coming session will carry
larger sums for the swarm of institu-
tions, boards, commissions, bureaus and
the other minor adjuncts Of this intri-
cate and complicated machine. the
state, than any Of it's predecessors have
enacted. All Of whatever is bestowed
has to come out of the pockets of the
people, either directly and made known
to them on their taX-receipts, or merged
in cost Of transportation, licenses, fees
or the other objects of indirect taxa
ton; for, contrary to a quite commonly
held impression, states have not yet
discovered any other way of getting a
revenue. We say this with all due re-
spect to the gentleman who will shortly
preside over the destiny Of the nation,
but who has not yet discovered that
the only foreigner" who pays the i'm
post is the individual who consumes
here the things the foreign maker
sends here.
1t is a proper time, therefore, when
the tax makers are assembling to give
some little space to this matter of
state taxation. AS -one goes over the
tabulation of the statistics of state tax
alton contained in the last census. COM
pairing state with state, group with
group, and decade with decade, one is
struck with the rapid increase in the
per capita Of taxation in all the North
ern states and the slight increase in
the Southern states. Without going
into detail, taking the groups into
which the states are assembled, we find
that in the North Atlantic division, en-
bracing the New England states and
those Of New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. the taxation for all pur
poses. except schools, was, per capita,

AN EXAMPLE TO AVOID.

Mr.. Theodore Watts Dunton, in writ
ing of the late Mathilde Blend says
that in the course Of an intimate friend
ship extending over period of twenty
five years, he never heard her talk
about anything but art and literature
in their most exalted aspects.
Evidently one, at least, Of these two
people must have been a prig, but it
is somewhat more than probable that
it was Mr.. Watts Dunton and not Miss
Blend, whose other friends found her
a most 1ovable and interesting individ-
ual, and bring against her no such ap-
palling charge as this Of inability to
appreciate the commonplace. Most peo-
pie, it is true, do not need to be ad-
vised of the value Of the commonplace,
nor warned to keep away from abstract
topics Of conversation. Too strong an
adherence to the distractions Of life Is
not the fault of the average mind; but
the fact remains that, in the mind in
which it does occur, it is a fault. Too
much Of art and literature can impov-
erish, a life. as well as too little. al
though it lis admitted that this is not
the form of intellectual indigence from
which society suffers most. There is
one culture which comes from contact
with the arts, and another which comes
from contact with life A thoroughly
cultivated mind is one which the nat
ural and artificial education have COM
bined to form, a just proportion being
about three parts Of the former to five
Of the latter. This mathematical rela-
ton follows from the fact that in a
mind Of any imaginative resources a
little life will really go further and do
more than a larger amount.
Too much life, as we'll as too much
culture, makes a stupefying dose. AS
far as Mr. Dunton and Miss Blend are
concerned, we are assured either that
the lady was not lovable and interest
ing, or else that she occasionally talked
and thought about politics, the weather,
her neighbors' concerns and even her
servants and her wardrobe. And if
the intellectual atmosphere Of Mr.. Dun
ton is such that these common subjects
found themselves frosted in it, then we
can only extend our commiseration to
such Of the gentlemen's friends as are
still living.

MERITS APPROVAL.

The G 0 b e is a great deal more
pleased on those rare occasions when it
can commend some official act of Mayor
Doran than it is with the duty Of hold
ing up his numerous blunders to the
light of criticism. 1t finds such an op-
pOrtunity in some Of his recent ap-
pointments, two Of which, in partic-
ular, have given great public satisfac-
ton. 1t was rumored, and there was
too much reason to fear that the ru-
mors were true, that all Of the vacancies
falling in on the first Of the year were
to be filled by strictly political appoint
ments. There was great pressure
one place to be filled on the fire board
and the two on the water board, only
one appointment, that Of Mr.. Wolter-
storff, is strictly political; and he has,
in addition to his political prominence.
the reputation of being an efficient man
Of business. The reappoin tment of Mr..
Kenneth Clark on the fire board and
Of Mr.. r. B. G. Bement in the water
department are exceedingly satisfac-
tory to our people. Their services are
Of quality that could neither be dis
pensed with nor performed with equal
public benefit by any other person; for
these gentlemen have added to their
personal fitness the qualification Of long
experience
The report. which at one time had
substantial foundation. that Mr.. Be
ment would not be reappointed, gave
rise to great public uneasiness. His are
exactly the same services which the
best governed cities abroad take pains
to secure and retain. The city Of ST.
Paul, in It's water department, COM
mands in him the skill and experience
Of a f1rst-class engineer, which 1t could
not purchase. for many times the sal
ary attached to the place. To find men
so qualified, men Of strict personal
probity, men who have the technical
knowledge to fit them for the posts
they occupy, and men who are willing
to give to the people their work in
exchange for all the bother and annoy
ance of public position, Is pretty nearly
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-01-03

in 1860 $3.50; in 1870. s10.07; in 1880, $9.42,
and in 1890, $lO29. In the North Cen
trail division, embracing Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois. Michigan, Wisconsin. Mime
sofa, Iowa, Missouri, the Dakotas, Ne
braska and Kansas, the rates were, for
1860, $s.4O; 1870. $7.42; 1880. 1886. and for
1890, $S13 per capita. Turning now to
the South Atlantic division, which in
cludes District Of Columbia, the Vir-
ginias, the Carolinas, Georgia and Flor
ida, we find the per capita rate for
1860 was $179; 1870, which includes the
era of the carpet-bagger. $S.97; 1880.
when the carpet -bagger had been ex-
PEELED, $2S4, and for 1890, $3.50 In the
South Central division, taking in Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas, the
taxes amounted per head to $1.94 In
1860; $41S, under reconstruction, in 1870;
$2.56, in 1880, and $335 in 1890.
This difference is very striking and
significant Of the different views Of
state authority and purposes. The item
of schools being omitted, the taxation
was that laid for the support of the
state and the minor divisions; and yet
we see that, in 1890, the average for
the North Atlantic was nearly three
times that in the South Atlantic group.
while that in the North Central was
considerably more than twice that In
the South Central group. 1t may be
said that the people in the former are
more progressive and in the latter more
conservative; but, while this may be
true Of individuals, whose spending Is
not matter of common concern, 1t is
quite different matter whether they
are progressive or conservative with
the money Of other people. The differ
ence is probably as much due to
that old-fashioned conservatism, which
has quite vanished from the North
that held 1t obligatory upon a public
| officer to be watchful Of the expendi-
ture of the money derived from taxa
tion and held in trust, and made him
more cautious Of spending 1t than he
was Of his own personal expenditures
The comparison should suggest to our
| legislators whether old notions Of coon
| omy and public trust might not find
healthful employment here.

critic and to go in all seriousness to
his contributions to critical journals
for his opinions in regard to current
literature.
In America some Of Mr.. Lang's
critical work has been appearing
in the Cosmopolitan. Did anybody
ever learn from Mr.. Lang's contribu.
tions to that journal anything he want.
ed to know? We doubt it, The gifted
author has shown himself conspicuous
ly superficial, fiippant, and careless Of
his own reputation in his criticism in
that journal. He has an airy way of
reviewing the books he has not read
which is very exasperating to a reader
who would be glad to hear an able and
serious judgment upon the work in
question. His contributions to Cosmop-
Oils, the tri-national journal, are longer
but no more serious than those in the
Cosmopolitan. If MIR. Lang has any
good ideas, his attitude seems to say,
he means to keep them to himself. The
editors pay him for his name Very
well, then, his name they shall have
and nothing else. In the long run, the
writer himself is the person who suf-
fers most by a policy of the sort Mr.
Lang has pursued so persistently for a
few years. Such ot-boiling may be
temporarily profitable, but no author
can afford such profits. To be brutally
frank, Mr.. Lang has not hesitated 10
bore his public. 1t is small wonder
that the public begins to retaliate
