In agreeing on a compromise meas
ure looking to the ultimate building of
insane hospitals at Auoka and Hast
ings, the house of representatives has
probably gone as far as could have
been expected of it at this session.
though we con tended that it would
have been as we'll to have provided at
once for the erection of the two hos
pitfalls. The care of the insane is the
States burden and one which must be-
carried at any cost. With the hos
pitfalls already provided and the ad-
dltlonal ones at AnOka and HASTINGS.
all that should have been necessary.
for the next 20 years is the biennial
provision for new buildings to accom-
modate the increasing population. It
will probably in the end be found that
the Anoka and Hastings hospitals will
practically absorb the insane popula-
tion OF Minneapolis and ST. Paul, and
their locations so close to the cities
will meet all the requirements as to
transportation and accommodation.
There should be no hesitancy on the
part OF the senate in passing the house
bill since it at least disposes Of the
hateful proposition Of county asylums,
which seems to be the only alterna-
tive. .e . ~

THIS country is rapidly coming to
the epoint where the intervention Of the
national government must come to the
relief of the people in the suppression Of
trusts. State legislatures are willing
enough to try it, but when a State leg
islature passes a law prohibiting deal
ing: in trust products it simply subjects
that State to all the evils of the
system with none Of the advantages.

A GOOD BILL.

&
The so-called ''tive-sixths jury bill''
championed in the house by Mr..
Wheaton and by an emphatic vote
recommended to pass, is a step in the
direction of jury reform that will meet
with general approval. In their vote
for the constitutional amendment
authorizing the change the people
have already expressed their wish and
the passage of this bill by the legisla-
ture will only be in obedience to the
command of the ''sovereigns.' The
bill provides that if, after twelve hours
deliberation a jury in civil case cam
not agree, ten Of it's members shall be
empowered to render verdict under
this law it will require three mon in
stead of one to hang jury. This will
prove damper to some extent on that
hourishing, industry known as ''iury-
fixing" Not only will it cost more to
: Fix" three, jurors. than one, but there
will. be greater danger Of exposure.
But besides its advantages as a deter.
rent to the practice Of tampering with
jurors, it will serve to expedite bust:
ness in civil cases. a verdict BY ten
is just as likely to be fair as averdict
BY twelve. The bill will be conducive
TO t honesty in the disposition Of jury
cases and should speedily become a
