In Lower California there is colony
of outlaws, and some of the most noted
escaped criminals who operated during
the latter half of the nineteenth CEN
fury are probably to be found in this
strange nest. Hamlin Garland thought
enough of the Moki Indians to take
them up and write deliberately about
the weird snake dance which has be-
como a religious ceremonial with this
strange people; but, so far as known.
Garland and no other writer has ever
dealt with the colony of outlaws in
Lower California. They live In
strange, rugged stretch Of country with
the gulf of California on one side and
a range of foothills which spread down
toward the Mexican border on the
other. There are no ports at this point
on the coast of California and no rail-
roads stretching in from the other d.
rection. so the men are pretty well
isolated. Occasionally they send out
for supply of provisions when the
larder begins to grow low, but they are
awfulIy cautious about this, for they
are afraid Of the outside world and, for
good reasons, want to have nothing to
do with it. They have been congre-
gated in this section for years, and no
effort has been made to disturb them.
They do no harm there. They live to
themselves. pursue such callings as are
most genial and in no way come In
contact with the outside world except
when they send out for such provisions
as they may need. They are practi-
1 caily prisoners. Crooks of every kind
may be found, and many of them have
, lived there for years There are stories
to be gathered N this strange quarter
/ that would probably unfold many
I mysteries.

The announcement will probably be
made today of the decision of the SUI
preme court on the application of the
attorney. general of the state of Mime
sofa and the attorney for the $500 rail-
road line for leave to begin suit in the
name of this state to declare the North
ern Securities organization in violation
of the statutes of Minnesota. That de-
cision may deny the application. in
which event the bill in equity, which the
president and Attorney General Knox
have advised the country is about to be
filed, viii operate, in the only way left,
to secure the judgment of that tribunal
finally whether the Northern Securities
organization is invalid and against public
policy.
None will@quarrel with the bringing Of
this later proceeding. There was no rea-
son why it should not have been brought
before or concurrenrly with the applica-
ton of Mr.. Mum and his associate coun-
sell 1t would probably have been brought
then were there any serious intention of
such action entertained. The decision
arrived at by Attorney General Knox is
so plainly an afterthought, as to be be-
yond discussion. 1t will not do for the
administration papers here or elsewhere
at this time to declare. as they are now
doing, that it was the known intention

MISTRESS AND SERyANr.

Through the daily press the public has
been led to believe that what is known
as the servant girl problem is wholly the
outcome of the unreason and unfitness of
employed domestics. 1t is question
which has never had but one side, so far
as the general public, unacquainted with
the problem by actual touch, has ever
been advised.
The inquiries recently made by the
state commissioner of labor into the con,
ditions attending domestic service which
appear to render it less acceptable to
working women than other forms of en-
ployment, have been answered very gem
orally, and the department is in posses
sion of the views of both employers and
employees in that line of work
The one fact which is made apparent
beyond dispute is that servant girls
themselves recognize that the employ
ment is more remunerative than they can
lind in other callings. Another important
fact is the one that girls are willing to
forego its advantages and will take other
work far less remunerative in preference
to remaining employed as domestics.
The reasons assigned in explanation of
the readiness to leave the most lucrative
form of service are various. The one
most generally advanced is that the girls
have no specified hours for labor. that
the employment is more combining and
offers less social opportunities. and that
the housewives who engage servants are
too often Indifferent to the requirements
which go to the advancement of the per.
sonal comfort of the servant In tbie
behalf, it is declared by the labor bureau
that the housewives themselves very gen.
orally recognize the truth of the COM
plant of the girls in this regard but
consider it as unavoidable in the nature
of the employment itself
Is it necessary that women emnIovad IN
domestic service should live in the house,
holds which they serve? Can they nor
be employed on substantially the same
terms as to time as those who work az
the other callings? If it is, and thew
cannot be employed on such terms, is it
not possible in the great majority OF
households, where servants are employed,
to limit rigidly the hours within which
service is asked of the girls, and give
them some opportunities for social en-
5oyment without leaving their places OF
employment?
There is nothing inherently objection
able in the occupation of domestic serv-

LET ROTH nROP.

Two of the most desirable events in
the estimation of certain politicians in
this city for a long time was that the
city charter should be declared invalid,
and that the police commission should be
abolished. The possibility of the charter
becoming invalidated has faded into moth
ingness. The dictum of Judge Kelly in a
recent case seems to have put a quietus
on the efforts of this class of politicians
to discredit the charter. Since it does not
seem possible to do away with the char
ter entirely its amendment naturally
presents itself as offering possible solu-
ton of the difficulties which lie In the
path of the office-seeking fraternity. AND
the amendment of all others which is
most sought after by these gentlemen
is one which will put an end to the
present police commission. Such an
amendment is now understood to be be-
fore the ch2Itcr commission.
The establishment of the existing po-
lice commission marks tha restoration OF
the police force to full measure of eff
ficiency. The cry of partisanship whlch
has been raised against the commission
might easily be repeated with reference
to the movement which is in progress
to secure the aid Of the charter commits
sion to Iegislate that body out of office
Partisanship may lie at the bottom, of
the present police commission and it's
administration Of the affairs of the police
department. T Clio b does not deny
or affirm. Whether or not, there is no
attempt to establish that the department
is not capably administered, or that the
people of St.Paul are not receiving at least
reasonably good police protection.
On the other hand, whether the move
ment to destroy the police commission
be influenced by personal or political pur-
poses on the part Of those who still oc-
cupy themselves in that direction, there
is no sober reason advanced why we
should not leave well enough alone. For
the information of those who have this
movement still in hand, T he GIob
desires 10 suggest THAT even SHOulQ the
charter commission decide to offer an
amendment which would wipe the police
commission out of being, there is a strong
probability, amounting almost to certain
ty, that the voters would refuse to
sanction the proposal. Partisan lines
would not rule in any such case. In
deed st. Paul has clearly shown at many
succeeding elections that while the par
tisan 1eanings of a large proportion Of
the people are strong, the controlling ele-
ment in all city elections is the non
partisan vote
The charter commission has in it's re-
cent report shown thorough comprehen-
sion of the great requirements necessary
to the peoples control of their own mu-
nicipal agencies. That body does not re-
quire any warning against allowing the
exercise of its functions to be controlled
by considerations of personal ambition or
by partisan political purposes.

GRANT CUBA RELIEF
KEEP JBLICAN CONGRESSMAN DE.
eide IN COMMITTEE ON RE-
CTPROCITY PLAN
TARIFF REDUCTION IS SMALL
Twenty Per Cent to Come OF Duties
on Each Size After Treaty Is
Entered and Conditions
Are Imposed.

WASHINGTON, Feb 22-The RapubH-
can members of the ways and means COM
m1ttee, who have been considering the
question of concessions to Cuba, reached
an agreement this afternoon which 1s
considered a victory for those who have
favored tariff concessions to that island.
The action taken was the adoption Of
a resolution that provides that it is the
sense Of the majority members (subj1ct
to approval of the Republican members
of the house in caucus assembled, TO be
held as soon as practicable) that the
committee report a bill in substance au-
thorizing the president to negotiate a
reciprocity treaty with the Cuban repub-
lie, when established, providing for the
entry Of our products into Cuba upon
such terms as shall be deemed by him
to be advantageous to US; provided, how
ever, that such treaty shall secure for
our products going into Cuba duties less
than those allowed to other counties
substantially equivalent to the conce ssi Cn
made by fus; that the consideration upon
our part upon such treaty shall be Il con
cession of 20 per cent of our tariff du-
ties upon imports, the products Of Gu
ba, upon this condition. That Cuba shall
first enact our immigration laws.
The proposition will be submitted to
a Republican caucus next Tuesday night
This action is practically the proposition
submitted by Representative Long. or
Kansas, except that the amount OF the
concessions is cut in half and the con-
dition precedent-that Cuba enact our
immigration laws-is added.
The action by the committee this af-
ternoon was preceded by conference at
the White House between the president
and Representatives Gr0svenor, of Ohio:
Russell, of Connecticut, and DalzeU, OF
Pennsylvania, all Of whom have hereto
fore stood out against any form Of re-
ciprocity provisions.
The action Of the Republican members
was unanimous.
