A contemporary seems to think it
unfair that the recent invaders of
Hawaii are to have no vote at the
next election. Let them induce
their special candidate for governor
to persuade President Mckinley,
our temporary sovereign, to issue a
proclamation repeating the Consti-
tuition of Hawaii and granting the
franchise to American citizens to
vote, provided, they possess the ne
cessary educational and property
qualifications under the defunct
constitution. There is no limit to
arrogance if conscientious scruples
do not control.

1t is the rule with the usurers, and
others, throughout the world who
charge enormous interest that the
higher the rate the greater the risk,
and that those who pay through the
nose pay for those who don't pay at
all. The recent decision of our Su-
preme Court in a case where only
5 percent month was charged,
quite low rate compared with
other rates charged, is quaint and
curious, but sufficiently impressive
to deserve a note. 1t is thusly
stated: sour statute of usury does
not prevent the recovery of the
principal where principal and usuri-
Gus interest are separable, even
though they are Jumped together in
the note sued on. Payments made
on account of such note should be
applied to the principal"

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
In Debate George D. Smith Favors
Continuing 1t.

The class in the Methodist Sunday
school, under the leadership of
Judge Bowers, has been putting in
some good time the past winter in
debates at other times than on Sun
day. Recently the class met at
Judge Bowers Office and INDUCED
in discussion on capital punish
ment. At this discussion George
D. Smith, the clerk at the postofice,
took the stand in favor of capital
punishment and produced a num-
Der of good points to convince the
judges of the contest that he was in
the right. After pointing to the
equal rights guaranteed by the con-
stitution, he said:
eve believe that one man S life
is just as dear to him as any other
man S, and that in case one losses
his life he is missed just as much as
the other. With that in mind what
would you consider the just punish
ment for murder. There is only
one punishment for the crime. and
that punishment will 60 the farther

sin against God The great law
makers have kept this in mind and
as law is very largely founded upon
the bible they have made some of
the greatest sins against God crimes
against the State and have regulated
punishment accordingly"
The speaker then went on to show
that the teachings of the bible con-
firmed the righteousness of capital
punishment-in fact, demanded it,
and then contended that even with
ont the authority of the bible there
seems to be but one just punishment
for murder, and from the principle
that all men are equal before the
law, having the same rights to the
life we enjoy: no man has the right
to take the life of another and con-
tinue enjoying his own. To allow
such thing would be an injustice
to God, to humanity, and would
prove a stagnation to civilization
and progress.
Mr.. Smith gave little English
criminal history by saying that in
the early history of England murder
was made punishable by fines
similar to those that would be inn
posed for. stealing coal or wheat,
but these fines were regulated ac
cording to the station in life of the
murdered man. i. e., if noble killed
common man he had to pay only
small fine and thereby redeemed his
good reputation, while if COM
moner killed noble he paid a very
much larger fine than inflicted for
killing the commoner. The speak
err said that this principle was de-
testable because it is injustice and
| does away with the theory that all
men are created equal.
THE reason, he said. that it is
desired that capital punishment
should continue is because it is de-
sired that crime be prevented.
, which never can be done unless the
punishment fixed be so great
that the fear of being brought to
justice and receiving punishment.
| will hold criminals in check. For
that purpose capital punishment
would serve better than any other
punishment. because people who are
low as to commit murder are gen
orally great towards and are afraid
to die. II the crime was made pun
ishable by life imprisonment, or
less, the fear of injustice would not
be SO great. because it is quite a
! common occurrence to let persons
imprisoned for life out on parole
after few years of service, and if
the prisoner has rich friends. it is
easier to accomplish this end.

there is hardly foundation LETT.
The natives were strongly in
trenched and it seems almost a
miracle that they were dislodged.
Every State has reason to be proud
of its boys here. Fear seemed un-
known to them and the natives must
have thought that Old Nick had let
loose an army from the Internal
regions. The insurgents were &C
customed to fire a few shots about
II p. M, smoke few cigarettes and
then rest until the next evening
when the same farce would be re-
peated. They received quite a sur
prise when they began fighting the
Americans, who kept right on fight
ing, following with such rush that
they became panic stricken. So
conceited had been the insurgents
that they were not prepared to do
all their fighting in, their usual
treacherous and guerrilla manner,
but were compelled by the rapid
advance of our army to give battle
on something like equal terms.
Their death losses have been very
heavy-ours comparatively light,
about 70. Some put the native loss
as high as 5000. So confident and
egotistical were they that they
promised their friends in Manila
that they would be in the city to
protect them three hours after the
first shot was fired. The first shot
was fired over two weeks ago and
the insurgents are in the position Of
the letter that never came.
A few days ago I walked out to
Caloocan and Malabon and about a
mile from the firing line. Occasion
ally the swish of a Mauser bullet or
a Springfield could be heard as the
sharpshooters on both sides tried to
pick off their enemies. The stencil
was almost unbearable. as many
bodies had fallen in the streams or
were left in the bushes. Caloocan
was finely fortified, but the natives
had to give way before our boys.
I am glad our regiment was not
relieved before this trouble began
and do not wish to leave until it is
settled. There will be no peace
here until the natives are licked to
a standstill, for they are more
treacherous than an Indian and
lack their good qualities. These
are the people whom people said
were fit for self government. It is
regretable that so many American
lives must be lost for these miser-
able devils.

our pop friends. AS street rail
way company is in very close touch
with the people its scope of bust
ness is a sure barometer OF prevail
ing conditions. What better evi-
dence is desired to establish the
fact of better times?'
Minnesota is keeping pace with
the rest of the country in the revival
of business and the increase Of
wages. The calamity howlers who
contend that the times have not i'm
proved should inquire of the whole
salers, the manufacturers and the
working people in the large cities Of
the State.
One thing which contributed
largely to the defeat of the bill to
raise the gross earnings tax on rail
roads from three to four per cent.
was the fear of the northern and
western parts Of the State that the
passage of such a law at this time
would prevent the reduction of
freight rates for years to come.
Whether this fear was we'll ground
ed or not it had it's influence upon
the legislature; perhaps even more
SO than the belief that the bill would
be unconstitutional and would in
duce the railroads to avail them
selves of the option to be taxed the
same as other property in the State
The status of the sugar beet
bounty bills in the legislature is
this: The Senate has passed bill
repeating the present law and thus
doing away with the bounty alto
gether. The house has passed a
bill amending the present law. It
provides that not more than $40. 900
per year shall be paid in bounties
for the next two years and that no
bounty be paid after that time It
further provides that not more than
$50, 900 shall be paid in any one con-
gressional district in any one year
The effect Of this would be that the
factory now established at St. Louis
park cannot receive more than
$40, 900 in bounty for each of the two
years. The bill specifies that farm
ers shall be paid not less than four
dollars per ton for their beets and
that sugar manufactured shall be
of certain quality.
It is likely that the House bill
will be passed by the Senate since
it is not probable that the House
will consent to an absolute repeal of
the bounty law at this time
There has been constant ClamOr
from Gov. Lind S new appointees
for an increase in appropriations for

Pope, the public examiner, says he

Ter, the dairy and food commits
sioner, wanted the appropriation for

administration on an economical

POLITICS AND NEWS.
Gossip and Opinions Gathered in

Among the important measures
passed by the legislature and signed
by the governor, is the one which
prohibits railroad companies from
raising freight rates within this
State except With the consent of the
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion. This law will perhaps be of
more benefit to shippers than many
other measures with far greater
pretensions. It will tend to main
tain uniform and fair rates and will
prevent the roads from combining
and advancing their tariffs.
