in the police department who had not
shown his readiness to do the behests OF
the political ring which has had so much
to do with producing the utter demoraH-
zation which prevailed in the police de-
paEtment before Chief O'Connor took
hold. AS there is a Democratic mayor,
instead of a Republican, care will be
taken by the commission that Democrats
shall receive preference in the prosecution
of the work of recognizing the force.
But that the force will be reorganized'
despite all the foolish partisan opposition
that has been advanced, is as certain as
that Chief O'Connor is legally In con-
troll of the present police department
The members of the office-holding com
bine who are affected by the recent
change of political sentiment in the
community die hard. Their death strug-
giles have never ceased for moment
since the ballots were counted. They Will
continue some time longer, much to the
discomfort and disgust Of the community
but it will all end in one way: The peo-
nile of ST. Paul will secure the services
of notice force which will effectively
protect the persons and property OF the
citizens, will not be In collision with
criminals and will reflect credit on our
entire municipal service.

1nnn CHARLES RUSSELL.

The death of Lord Charles Russell
removes from the sphere Of active pro-
fess!onal and public life one OF the
most notable men that have appeared III
England during the present generation
He was a great lawyer in variety OF
directions of professional effort, in all OF
which any one lawyer has rarely been
known to shine. While distinguished oy
that degree of legal acumen which Sc
cures exceptional success In his PROFESSION
he entertained the broadcast and most pro-
found views on all questions of large
public concern. and was at once great
nisi prius lawyer and a high authority
on international law.
The career of Lord Russell makes IL
quite plain that the highest advancement
In civil life still remains open In England
to the possessor of great intellectual
power. The young Irishman who ap-
peared at the London bar forty years
ago had no influential friends and no
prospects before him. A few years OF
close application to the hard work OF
his calling, and a reasonable opportunity
to show the high order Of professional
ability which he represented brought him
into notice as one of the most promising
Of the younger men Of the bar. The
steady and unvarying pursuit Of his
profession to the exclusion Of all outside
forms of activity secured to him before
he had passed middle life an assured po-
sition as the leader of the English bar
Outside of England Baron Russell had
not succeeded In directing any public at
tention to himself until his appearance
on behalf Of the late Charles Stewart
ParneIl before the Parnell commission.
The exciting and tragic events which fol-
lowed each other with such startling ra-
pidity, resulting in the suicide Of one
of the witnesses while yet under the pitt
less DISCRIMINATION Of this master OF
the forensic art, and the utter discom-
future of the prosecuting forces, which
had been really acting under the direction
and with the approval Of the then ex-
listing government, threw a light on his
abilities which revealed him to the en-
tire world as one of the most remarkable
men of his time and one Of the greatest
lawyers that ever pleaded at any bar.
Lord Campbell, in his lives of the lord
chief justices Of England, somewhere
says that while the aggregate standard
of ability and intellectual power Of the
chief justices of England was as high,
If not higher, than that of the occupants
of the woolsack, there were not as many
shining instances of great talents and
requirements among the former as among
the latter. 1t is doubtful whether In the
past among all his predecessors in tbs
Office a more remarkable exemplar can
be found Of complete intellectual and
moral fitness for the most exacting duties
which fall to a great lawyer than the
deceased jurist.

RUKARD HURD AS A stCONTRIBU-
TOR TO REPUBLICAN PRINCE


RUKARD HURD AS A GsCONTRIBU-
TOR TO REPUBLICAN PRINCI-
PIES"
Rukard Hurd has issued a circular
announcing himself as candidate for
the state legislature. He says in de-
scribing his qualifications that he has
always voted for supported and con-
tributed to Republican principles" This
requires some explanation from Mr..
Hurd. What has he contributed to Re-
publican principles, and when, where,
how and why did he do it? How much
was it?
Mr.. Hurd has laid himself open to be
seriously misunderstood Contributions
to Republican principles" from an hum
BILE Office seeker like Mr.. Hurd may mean
contributions to the Republican BARREL"
and probably that is what Mr.. Hurd
meant to say If he did not mean to say
It. 1t is probably the fact nevertheless.
You see there are so many Republicans
Of type not totally dissimilar from Mr..
Hurd, who confuse principles with
The words are synonymous to them.
When they gaze on a barrel the word
principles rises instincttvely to their
lips, and when they talk of principles"
their minds eye sees barrel"
From Mark Hanna down to the hum
blest Republican ward heller and pre-
cinct striker there is the same congenitaI
disability to distinguish between ''the
barrel and "the principles" When SEN
ator Hanna strikes trust for 100000
contribution to the Republican campaign
fund he says: eve would be pleased to
receive from you some tangible express
sion of your well known devotion to Re
publican principles and the trust in its
grand way, just as Mr.. Rukard Hurd
says he has in his humble way, "con-
tributes to Republican principles"
The man who cannot distinguish prin-
ciples from barrel is perhaps the kind
of individual the citizens of the Thirty
sixth legislative district may desire to
place in the legislature as their repre-
sentative, but under no possible combina-
ton Of circumstances will they submit to
be represented by a man who can be
guilty Of misuse of the English language.
This will necessitate Rukard Hurd
standing up manfully in defense Of the
grammatical correctness Of his circular
and compel him to continue to insist that
he has contributed to Republican prin-
cipIes."

CRITICIsING HICKS-BEACH.
English Papers Condemn Chancellor
of ExcheUuer

LONDON, Aug 1.-THE weekly papers
and the financial organs follow the dai!ies
IN severe comment upon the peculiar
methods of the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach. in Is
suing the eXchequer bonds, but they do
not fail to recognize the value of the
assistance which the American bankers
and business men have rendered Great
Britain recently during the, trying times
OF the stoppage of the South African gold
supply They are also ready to concede
the placing Of New York at the head of
the worlds markets, unless Mr.. Bryan is
elected to the presidency, which would
cause considerable disturbance in the
United States markets.
The Statist applauds the Bank of Eng
land for suggesting that ''such a step
should have been taken months ago to
prevent the depletion of the gold re-
serve, and to prevent the sending of gold
to the United States IN the autumn, when
the trade balance will be greatly in
favor of the other side: 1t SAYS: Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach is not distinguish
Ing himself as a borrower. In the spring
he declined an offer Of 10 to u millions
sterling from the United States Now he
mas seen the mistake and is preparing
himself for future applications. The large
amount of the subscription is the fullest
proof that New York has become a great
investment market. New York has loaned
to Russia and other continental countries.
but this is the first time 1t has taken
the leading part in a great British issue.
1t is probable that in short time New
YORK will become an even more import
ant market and ultimately it will be-
come the greatest of the markets"
How soon will depend upon the result
OF the coming presidential election. If,
as seems certain. Mr. Mckinley Is re-
elected. the prosperity Of the country will
become greater and there will be a great
er Doom than any yet witnessed. On
the other hands. should Mr. Bryan be
elected great shock will be given to
American commerce, and for a time at
least business will be disturbed"
The Saturday Review says: I'VE do not
question the wisdom of the chancellor of
the exechequer in placing the bonds in
New York, but a wise thing may be done
in foolish way, and his tactless bIunder
Will not soon be forgotten"
The Speaker, which characterizes the
issue as "a gross incubation" says: The
issue could probably have been foated
at par. The issue is popular In Wall
street and in the city"

HEALTH OF MENTONE.

A vagrant news item printed In the
u few weeks ago In regard to
the little town of Mentone, France. found
its way back to that place, and called
out the following letter to the editor,
which appeared in the London Daily Ex-
press of July Il:
A copy of your issue of June Is last
has been sent to me.
Under the heading, Are Health Re
sorts Dangerous?" read:
Today Mentone is bacillus-ridden. q
pest-hole-death itself, and the once stlr-
dy inhabitants, pictures Of health, are an
emac1ated, coughing, bleeding people, sat
urated with the germs of consumption
The truth is that Mentone Is one of the
healthiest towns In France, and a more
outrageous statement than that YOU have
copied from the st. Paul G. o Q could
not be invented.
1 send within an extract from the Reg
listers of the Etat-Civil of Mentone GER
titled by the British vice CONSUL showing
that in the year Oct. 1, 1898, to Sept. g.
1883, the total number of deaths from an
causes in Mentone, visitors and inhabi-
tants, were 221. These figures are incon-
testable.
Among these deaths are included those
OF tnvaltds of surrounding districts who
come to the town hospital, soldiers Of
the garrison, and other soldiers sent in
valided here from the summer Alpine
maneuvers, who, Of course, do not form
part of the Mentone population.
The winter population here is. in round
figures, $1,000; that of summer, 10000 so
that the death rate estimated on the
mean population of 1900 works out at
less than " per cent.
= AS regards the appalling picture which
is drawn of the miserable state Of health
of the inhabitants of Mentone, I thought
the best way to refute it would be to pro-
cure the result of the last "Conseii de
Revision"-that is to say, the military
medical examination. I enclose the GER
tificate the mayor has kindly prepared for
me.
OF last years batch Of seventy-one Men
tone conscripts Of twenty years old, three
only were found unfit for service. The
cause Of their re5ection-that you will see
noted on the mayors certificate-cannot
be attributed to consumption germs.
I may mention that nowadays consurnp-
tive visitors to Mentone are extremely
rare. j L. Churchman,

rHn PRISON COMMISSION.

The action of Gov. Lind in appointing q
committee for the consideration Of the
great problem Of the utilization Of con-
Wet labor with the highest measure of
value to the state and the convict, and
Iightest measure of injury or wrong done
to the interests of free labor, will receive
general approval His selection of Prof.
Folwell. virtually as the head of the COM
mission, Is one which shows in some de-
gree the deep consideration bestowed by
the governor on the important public in
terest involved.
The successive efforts which have been
made toward the solution Of this problem
during the past fifteen or twenty years
have done little more than to reveal its
great inherent difficulty. To keep the
convict healthy and fully employed, and
the convict. have represented the great
undertaking during that period Few
looked at the problem Of prison labor as
involving in itself in any great degree
of reformation. Yet 1t is now generally
recognized by students of sociological
questions that in the nature Of the en-
ployment which the convict is called on to
do lies one of the chief hopes of his use
fulness after his discharge from prison.
The statistics of penal and reformatorv
effort show that those convicted of seri-
Gus crimes are with very few exceptions
men who have never learned any pro-
ductiYe calling. Mechanics rarely find
their way into state prison. From the
ranks of unskilled labor and from among
those who have lived lives of idIeness

which thus far has been the least adj

rective undertakings.
The state supply system offers at once
the means Of employing the convict with
advantage to the state and without detrf-

It was inevitable Of course. that tha
city attorneys office would sooner or
later retreat from the absurd position It
took on the approval Of the police pay
rolls. The G o b knew such would be
the case. and said so. At least Mr.. Mark
ham would not consent to stand on such
palpably foolish proposition as that laid
down by his assistant without seriously
lnjuring whatever Of reputation he enjoys
as lawyer Of learning and discernment.
The reconsideration Of It's position Is
attended by the statement that in the city
attorneys Office the private opinion pre-
Vailing Is and has been that the new men
were entitled to their pay because they
were not respectively appointed to take
the place Of the old men who were dis
