A few days ago noticed in The

two years at this institution in charge of

The attention and care taken of the
patients there was truly commendable and
every effort was put forth by Dr.. Kill

could be made. He was at all times

an accomplished Christian gentleman and
has no superior anywhere to-day in his
line and is a credit to the public service of
Minnesota.
You In Minnesota manage your state in
situations better than we do in New
York. You are in advance of us in many
things. Here we have too much red tame
and corrupt politics and less practical
ideas. Our governor, Mr.. Odell, has en-
deavored to correct many abuses and
place the institutions on a higher plane
but for this act alone he is looked upon

Jasper stared after her in astOnishm ent
and then cursed the custom that some
small towns have Of aping city conven-

take. The girls name was Carlton, and
her father was the man whose disniis-
sal had made room for Jasper. There was
a flush on the young mans cheek as he
realized that the girl held him accountable
for the change of family fortunes.
BY dint of carefully yelled inquiry he
found out much more. Mr. Carlton, 1t
seemed, had obtained an inferior position
in a town fifty miles farther south. But
as he hoped for a better opening in the
near future he had delayed moving the
family goods and chattels. There was
much not often included in the latter
terms-rosebuShes coaxed to splendid size
and bloom through untoward frosts and
protracted drought, turtle doves who
whirred and cooed and summed themselves
on the flat roof of the lean-to, and the fine
flock of turkeys. Marion Carlton refused
to part with one of these. Had she not

was to feast on fat turkeys, lying peace

the Carlton family had but two members,
Marion's will was generally law.

Complains Of Short Weiuats,

TO the Editor of The Journal:
One of the petty impositions the great
purchasing class has to endure is in the
matter of we lights and lneasur The pur-
chaser from the grocer. druggist, butcher,
coal dealer and ice man, and, indeed,
from all who sell the necessaries of life is
almost absolutely dependent upon the
honesty of the merchant. The scriDtural
denunciation of the "children of the world,
who are deceitful upon the weights, and
who are altogether lighter than vanity
ITSELF is as well justified to-day as when
it was first written. The tricks of the
trade are numberless. Many Of them are
too petty to be noticed, but they amount
to g, big aggregate in a years business.
The three general ways of weighing
used are the equal arm balance now al
most out of use, the rcounterpoise COM
bination of levers and weights, and the
unreliable spring balance. A dishonest
dealer or careless salesman can easily ma
nipuate or doctor any one of these
scales SO as to work unfairness either to
the buyer or the seller. In measures
too, there are tricks galore, as the pecu-
liar shape, dinted insides. and false bot
toms indicate. If in either weighing or
measuring in small quantities only tri-
fling err or is made, say that of giving
too much, the dealer is forced into bank

and carefM rivals. to say nothing of those
who skin an ounce or so. It is usually
too those purchasers who are least able
to stand these inpositions who suffer
from them most. The competition of the
dishonest merchant is often enough to
drive his more honorable rival out Of
business.
We have state officials who look very
closely into the question Of pure-food
authorizations. They have become a ter
ror to evil-doers. But we haven't checked
the injury to the consumer yet by any
means. The fraud in weighing and meas

The Short Session.

There are a few sanguine people who
believe that the final session of the fifty
seventh congress will be problem solver.
If by that they mean that the trust prob
lem will be solved, at least tentatively, by
the passage of bill embodying the presi-
dents maturest views; If they mean that
Cuban reciprocity or new treaty nego-
tiated by General Bliss and Minister
Squiers with the Cuban government, will
be favorably acted upon; that the bill for
the amendment of the interstate COM
MERGE act or the bill for the admission Of
Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico to
statehood, will go through,-if they ex-
pect all these things to be done they
are somewhat too sanguine. Then the
tariff commission measure may come up,
too, as an administration policy, but as
it adjourns and is intended to adjourn
tariff revision, 1t may command votes
enough from hesitant and tinaorous men,
bers as we'll as the Dalzel contingent to
secure passage.
It Is obvious that judicious antitrust
bill ought to meet with ready accept
ance, If the democrats are true to their
reiterated demands for such legislation.
1f'they try to obstruct It, they will placard
themselves as very, partizan trihers with
important public questions. Moreover,
the adrninistra ton antitrust or trust
regulating bill will not be the only
measure Of the kind introduced. There
are others Of different tenor and there is
likely to be a somewhat prolonged debate
over the various proposals, the end of
which no man can predict. There is the
widest difference of opinion as to what
should be DONE. The presidents
influence, however, ought to secure the
concentration Of the majority vote upon
the measure he will recommend in his
message, which provides for the strength
ening of the Sherman antitrust law so
as to cover present conditions. . =
The sentiment Of many republican men,
bers is that tariff and reciprocity present
too great problems for consideration at
the short session. This Is not an alto
gether valid excuse for the regular BUSH
ness-appropriatio bill, ETC., can be ex-
pedited if there is adequate will on the
part of members to give robust attention
