A GRouNDLEss COMPLAINT.

1t appears that some member of the sever
al boards of trustees of the States insti-
tutions has been complaining of the mig
gardly policy of the two Republican Legis-
latures The complaint is that the Legisla-
ture does not make. sufficient appropriations
for maintenance and supplies. That was
serious charge if true. 1t is not true If the
wards of the State receive sufficient nutri-
tious food and plain clothing to make them
comfortable and the necessary attendance
and instruction. Al the close of the fiscal
year which ended Oct. 81 1897. no institution
reported a deficit. On the contrary, each
of them reported surplus of a few, very
few, dollars. If 10 or even 20 per cent. more
had been appropriated most of it would
have been expended because of the custom
of cutting the garment according TO the
cloth. Under the Republican regime the APP
preparation of one of the charitable institu-
tons was cut down slOo per capita, yet the
superintendent reports that he can get along
with the amount appropriated by the Legis-
lature.
The buildings of several of the institutions
are not what they should be, and some of
them are crowded so that extensions in
some way may be necessary. but when they
are made the present regime will see that
no money is expended In the construction
of expensive administrative buildings and
annexes which minister chiefly to the luxury

MERRIAM PARK BANK CLOSED.
1t Is Reported to Have Suffered the
Time Check Frauds.

ST. PAUL, March 24.-Tne Bank of Mer-
Ram Park. near Minneapolis failed to open
to-day The banks capital is $4,000 and it
is reported to have invested in the Southall
government time checks to an unknown
amount When the Southall matter
came out it was stated that H. M.
Crosby, of the Bank of Merriam Park was
a heavy loser, but that the bank was clear.
Later developments, however, showed that
the bank was also heavily involved. The
bank is now in the hands of State Bank
Examiner Kenyon. The officers of the bank
deny the reports that the bank was loaded
with Southall time checks and that it's
capital was impaired. At meeting of the
directors it was decided to close, believing
such action advisable to head off any run
on the bank. They declare that the total
amount of Southall checks held by the
bank is but So 900.
Southall is still in Jail, not having Sc
cured bondsmen.
1t was learned later that the bank held
but So, 500 of the Southall checks and is not
insolvent. The last statement, issued Feb.
13. showed deposits, $50, coo; cash reserve,
$40 coo; capital. 5000; undivided profits, 81
600, loans, $102, 900. Howard Marston of Bos-
ton, is president, and Eastern capitalists are
interested in the bank.

HANDICAP SHOOT ENDED.
Nine Men Finished with Twenty-Five
Straight Kills.

NEW YORK, March A-The Grand
American Handicap, annually brought off
under the auspices of the Interstate Asso-
citation, was brought to a successful issue
late this afternoon at Elkwood Park, N.
j. Nine men finished with twenty-five
straight kills and divided the first nine
moneys, which amounted to 1918 Twenty
two men killed twenty-four birds each and
divided the remainder of the stakes, the en-
tire amount of the entry money being S.
075. AS the light was poor and a drizzling
rain was falling when the twenty-fifth
round was completed, the nine shooters
who divided the first money decided to
postpone the shooting off of the ties until
tomorrow morning. This year the Inter-
state Association has offered a special
prize very handsome silver cup, and this
will go to the winner. The conditions of
the shoot-off will be miss and out" Mrs.
w. P. Shattuck, who killed nine out of
the twelve birds yesterday, continued to-
day and was even more successful OF the
thirteen birds which she shot at to-day she
graSSed twelve and one fell dead out of
bounds One kill at No. 2 trap. which

4 PLAN IN WHICH ALL NAY JOIN.

If IL is the Presidents plan to extend
relief to the starving people in Cuba. re-
gardiess of the wishes of the Spanish gov
eminent. he will be very sure TO bring on a
collision. The penning up of the people
driven from the farms to the towns to
starve was Weyler's policy of suppressing
the Instruction and while Blanco has
modified the order of his predecessor. the
''reconcentrados" have been kept in the
towns and are starving there. The impress
sion has prevailed that Blanco was attempt
ing to relieve the distress. 1t now turns
out that he has done nothing OF the kind.
If the President has been correctly re-
ported, he proposes to relieve the suffering
people by furnishing food and crop seed
to those who desire to return to their
farms.
TO relieve the suffering in Cuba is the
first duty of the United States. now that
it is manifest that the Spanish authorities
will make no effort in that direction: there
Is not a government in Europe which can
object to the interposition of the United
States to prevent the starving of women
and children by thousands in a country
within forty-eight hours sail of New York.
If Spain should object to such relief
practically declares that it can regain Cuba
by no other means than the starving of
non-combatants. No European government
can object to the course pursued by the
President, even if the independence of Cuba
should be the final outcome. The Presi-
dent is warranted in pushing relief, now
that the situation is understood, even if
he had given the Spanish Ministry to un-
derstand that it shall have opportunity to
try its experiment of autonomy In fact,
the Spanish Ministry has already broken
faith with the President. because the delay
was consented to with the understanding
that the suffering consequent upon Wey-
lers policy should be relieved
To enable the President to extend relief
to the Cubans it is necessary, that the peo-
pie throughout the country should furnish
him with part, If not with all the means
to do so. He has money with which to
purchase food or clothing. 1t has been
intimated that some members of Congress
would oppose an appropriation for the pur-
chase of supplies for Cuba. That seems
Incredible. but one cannot always count
upon the whims of men in Congress. Men
who have been shouting for the recognl-
ton of the belligerency of Cuba, and VINO
have been picturing the oppression of the
Cubans, may have lost their zeal when
it comes to voting relief to starving people
The administration will need all the sup
plies it can get and the kind of supplies
of which there is abundance in Indiana

REFLEcTING ON CAPTAIN sIGsBEE.

From the time of the Maine disaster it has
been generally conceded that If investiga-.
lion should show that the explosion oc-
CURED from within it would reflect upon
Captain Sigsbee while a report that 1t was
due to an external explosion would exon
crate him. The Minneapolis Tribune does
not accept the latter view. 1t says:
flthe explosion came from without, are
not the officers of theg ship equally amen
able to the charge Of neglect or careless
ness? They had divers and diving .appa-
ratus 1t was their duty to know what was
under their ship. They should have MADE a
thorough search as soon as they had cast
anchor, and thereafter they should nave
kept up a sharp watch night and day. Ev-
cry war ship is provided with torpedo net
ting, searchlghts and every appliance LOT
making an inspection of surrounding or UNI
deriving conditions. Experts IN the haVal
service have means of probing for mines
and submerged torpedOeS. Granting tnat the
Names destruction was caused by mine.
or by some explosive placed in contact with
her hull by Spanish fanatic or emlsSary,
IL looks as If Captain Sigsbee was luIled INTO
security by the social attentions shoWered
upon him. and then that advantage was
taken of his relaxation of vigilance.
This view is unreasonable and unjust to
Captain Sigsbee. His order to proceed to
Havana did not imply any more danger to
his ship than if he had been ordered to
British or French port. When the President
was shaking hands and exchanging dipio-
matte courtesies with the Spanish minister
at washington it was not for Captain Sigs-
bee to adopt ostentatiously suspicious meas
ures at Havana. The United States and
Spain were at peace, and he had a right to
suppose the Maine would be as safe there
as in New York harbor. 1t certainly was
not his duty to know or. to try to ascertain
whether the harbor was mined or torpedeed.
When he entered friendly harbor and be-
came the guest of a friendly power it was
his duty to accept the anchorage selected
for him. When one is visitor in the house
of a supposed friend one accepts the apart
ment assigned him and does not search
the house for torpedoes nor plant artillery
in front of his door at night. Since the ex-
perience of the Maine an American war ship
anchoring in Havana harbor would adopt
war precautions, but for Captain Sigsbee
to have done so would have been regarded
as an error OF judgment and perhaps as
evidence of timidity. Indeed, 1t is quite like
ly that his orders were to maintain a
strictly friendly attitude and do nothing
that would draw censure or criticism from
the local authorities The American people
will not accept any theory regarding the
disaster which assumes that Captain Sigs-
bee was guilty of relaxation of vigilance.
