Kicking Itself.

The Dispatch continues to furnish
puerile reasons for opposing the char
ter. It now finds fault because it
places limits on the amounts that may
be raised for the several departments
it tackles the question of electing the
officers for the city government, it
views with horror the extravaganza Of
past administrations, when no limit
was put upon the amount they could
raise and spend, and frantically asks
if the control Of the city should be put
back into the hands of men who be-
long to the party whose extravaganza
it rebukes. 1t thus goes through the
amusing process of kicking itself. It
berates the charter for providing a
check on expenditures and pretends to
fear the incoming Of an administration
that would be subject to those checks.
The experience of the past furnishes
the very best Of reasons for the pro-
posed limitations. 1t is not likely that
another boom period will come again
ever, with its insensate craze for i'm
provements, but we may expect a re-
turn of conditions when the impulse to
spend others money will find in the
general prosperity plausible excuses
and 1t will be well to have check on
1t. At the same time the charter pro-
visions as to amendments are liberal
enough to make capable of enlargement
appropriations demanded by increased
growth of population, while the method
provided will insure elaboration and
conservative action. The real question.
however, is whether the citizens of the
city shall provide their own scheme Of
government or it shall be left to state

and advise the ratification of the char

Velop IN it under practice, amendment

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The mill

In the war department, all energies
were bent towards the issue of the

was delayed in issue until tomorrow,
owing to the fact that 1t had been pre-

certain amendments to the bill.
The call when issued will be FOR 1OO.
900 men to serve one year.
In many respects the call will fol-

President Lincoln Of April Is, 1861,
when he asked for $4,000 men. Nee
essarily there are number of changes.
If the precedents are followed, Secre-
tary Alger, promptly upon the signing
and issuance of the proclamation, will
request the executives Of each of the
several states to cause to be immedi-
i ately detached from the militia, the
quota they may be called on to fur

The governors will communicate the
time at which such militia will be ex-

will be met by officers of the United
States to muster them into the service

amendment, authorizing the president
to organize Independent troops, was
retained, but the number was limited

amendment. making it compulsory for
the regiment and company militia Of

eighties, and they pirate about our debt

they ask only as to the necessity of

him as a friend and a benefactor. This
assault upon DR.. Schiffmann will be
boomerang that, in its rebound, will
strike it's throwers.
But there was no such extravaganza
on the part of that board such dis
counting of the future, such anticipa-
ton of needs lying far ahead, as char
acterized every other movement during
those wild days of the boom. In every
other direction the future was dis
counted twenty years. The empty

test the folly that made investments
with a recklessness that now seems to
have been nothing short of insanity.
The vast additions to the city then
plated still await the coming of the
home builders who then seemed to be
coming in a flood. Every public i'm
provement then made was years IN
advance of the need of it, except one.
That one is the school buildings of
the city. Common sense requires that
future needs should be anticipated in
any growing town in the construction
of these buildings; but, while other
Improvements still await the coming
of their need, the school buildings
long ago met theirs and proved made
quate. The demand for more buildings,
for additions to those built, has been
becoming more and more imperious.
In some districts admission to the
school is denied for want of room. In
some, children are obliged to alternate
in attendance at the morning and
afternoon sessions, getting but half the

The years quickly took up the slack
of excess capacity provided, and the
present demands an increase.
So far from rejecting upon the good
judgment, the business capacity Of the
doctor and his colleagues on the board.
the acts now alleged as proof of in
capacity prove the exact opposite. If
subsequent developments ever justified
the business sagacity of men, those
which have made the seating capacity
Of our schools too limited so soon
after their construction do it. There
would be today a good many men in
our city who would be in better finan-
cial condition-and some Of then, are
now berating the old school board

as safe an investment as was that

ment over the situation between the United
States and Spain is at fever heat in this city,
and an outburst Of patriotism was witnessed
this afternoon. second to none In the his
tory of the city since the breaking out of
the Civil war. Shortly after noon veterans
of the Civil war congregated at Grand Army
hall and fell in line. They marched a few
blocks and were met by the band, after
which the volunteers fell in line and the
column marched through the principal streets
About fifty Of those who have volunteered
were in line. and they were repeatedly cheer
ed by those who went to the front in 1861
and other citizens. Business houses were
gayly decked with flags and the demonstra-
ton was decidedly impressive.
Capt. Masterman, of Company K, the new
volunteer company organized in this city,
reported to Col. Reeve at noon today that
he had enlisted SO men and stood ready to
offer the services of himself and company
at short notice. The message was intrusted
to Sergeant Coons who delivered it at the
adjutant generals Office in St. Paul Later
in the day the company was swelled to los,
but Capt. Masterman will continue to enlist
men until definite orders are received. The
new company is splendidly proportioned and
will rank with any company organized in
Minnesota.

There are, perhaps, a larger number of
spinsters in Bermuda in proportion to the
population than in any other place on this
side OF the Atlantic, and 1t is a curious fact
that this is the law Of the land. No alien
can acquire a title to land in Bermuda,
either by purchase or inheritance. This is
precaution against the Portuguese, who flock
to the country for onion growing. But the
law provides that If a woman marries a
foreigner she shall lose her landed property
and shall also become incapable of inheriting
any. This law is not popular with the
ladies, who see their brothers mate with
Americans and other aliens. Occasionally
Bermudan girls renounce their birthrights
for loves sake; but. as a rule, the charms
of penniless maidens are not sufficient for
young men to desire them for wives, and
thus many girls are doomed to single bless
edness in Bermuda simply by the law of the
land.
Statistics show that during the late war
the women's organizations raised altogether
$50. 600. 900 among their societies in the North
ern states. the amount just appropriated by
congress to put the nation upon an effective
defensive footing. The little girls of the
North, by their miniature fairs and handi-
work, contributed 100000. -

American Sunday School union, which is to
be held in the House of Hope Presbyterian
church, on tomorrow evening, will no doubt
prove to be a meeting of very great inter-
est.
It may not be generally known that it was
this great Sunday school agency which really
inaugurated the movement In this state back
in the sos, and that from that work the
bulk of the earliest churches were started
And who shall doubt the statement that has
often been made, in direct referance to this

due to these early influences. which were
brought to bear upon the first settlers Of

nG sincs 1sat the american Sunday School
union has planted nearly 100. 900 schools and
gathered in over 1000, 000rteachers and schol-
ars, and distributed fully 100000 worth Of
sound literature.
And it's work is not yet done, for there
are ii 900, 900 children Of school age in this
United States still, oute Of Sunday schools
and practically without religious instruction.
and in this state there are over $4,000 that
must yet be gathered In:
The large percentage of foreigners and the
heterogeneous conditions Of the rural dis
tricts, where seven-eighths OF the settlers
are. demands an INSTRUMENTATION agency
to reach them. Hence the Union Sunday
school meets the wishes and thus opens the
way for the church to follow. The growth
of this society from one missionary in 1924
to 1870 in 1898 is an evidence OF this state
ment.
There are but six OF the society's mission
aries in Minnesota, and 1t Is claimed there
ought at least to be twenty; in fact. there
are over ten counties where there ought to
be county missionaries all the year round
