RIGID SUPERVISION REQUIRED

Quarantine hospitals, more popularity
known as pesthouses, are like insane
asylums in that it is hardly ever possible
to arrive at very accurate conclusion
as to the efficiency of their management.
The evidence is always conflicting and Is
generally furnished by two prejud1ced
sources-the nurses and doctors on the
one side, and the patients on the other.
The former never admit anything; the
latter charge everything. The resem-
blance extends also to the fact that
against both complaints are incessant.
The local quarantine hospital has recently
been denounced by its patients and de-
Tended by the city health commissioner.
But, in view of the fact that its manage
ment has been reorganized we are con-
strained to think that there must have
been some foundation for the complaints
of filth and neglect. A quarantine hospi-
tai, from it's very nature, is especially
subject to grave abuse Of patients. It
should, therefore, be the object of close
supervision by the proper authorities.
Persons suffering from contagious dis
eases have their full share Of misery
without being subjected to filthy sur
roundings, unsuitable food and slack care.

year was ushered in by waving the old flag
and singing America. Then, without a sec
ond's notice, Governor Van SAINT was hoisted
to q bench and made to talk. The flag gave
his start, and once wound up he made one
of the cleYerest impromptu talks Il ever heard,
closing with a stirring appeal to patriotism
and courage In facing the problems of the
new century.
Handsome, polished "Joe" Tooe followed
him in the same key, polished as ever, but
dead in earnest, voice and gesture in
dictated. Both had the crowd with them at
every word, and the governors were evidently
popular men. Governor Hunt was in the
midst of a clever response when the Mime
sofa crowd left to catch their train 1t was

occasion and such good fellows.

The announcement of the retirement of
Mr.. S. e. Olson from the large business
of which he has been the leading fact or
for many years in Minneapolis, has
raised the question whether he is likely
to return to this city. T h e j o u n a is
glad to say that, as we understand Mr..
Olsons plans, it is his purpose to continue
his residence in Minneapolis, although
just what business arrangements he eX-
poets to, make we are not definitely in
formed. We are glad to know that Mr..
Olson is to come back to this city after
a. years rest, and to employ again the
energy and abilities which he used to so
good advantage in the past in promoting
the commercial welfare of Minneapolis.
Those who have had most to do with pub
and public spirited themselves, know
that Mr.. Olson was valuable man to
this city. He was always liberal in the
expenditure of his time and money in
promoting any enterprise calculated to
benefit the community, and his counsel
was always desired when questions OF
important public concern were involved
It is to be hoped that he may return at
an early date and again become identified
in some important way with the business
interests of this city.

The RECIPROCITY TREATIES

Senator Cullom, chairman Of the foreign
relations committe of the senate, stated
yesterday that he expects to get the rec
iprocity treaties before the committee
soon after congress reassembles. 1t is to
be hoped that this will be done out OF
respect to the memory of the late Presl-
dent Mckinley, out of Difference to the
principle of international comfy under
which Mr.. Kasson succeeded in negotiat-
ing these treaties, and last, although GER
tainly not least, because it is essential to
the welfare of our export trade that we
shall secure favorable concessions from
foreign nations in their customs duties,
and either by these treaties or others Sc
cure the minimum tariff rates accorded to
other nations Within the next two years
the reciprocity treaties of most of the
European nations terminate and new ar
! rangements will be made, and it is Of
great Importance to this country that we
| shall secure as favorable terms as other
nations as to European trade The
| provisions of the Dingley tariff provide
| for a maximum remission of duties of 20
per cent, Dul, III Luc I1CAC4 ~ SesJ, Wv
average ad valorem reduction made by
| the Kasson commission was only 6.S per
cent out of a possible 20 per cent reduc-
| ton and the latter was only allowed on eight
| French articles. And yet the opponents
of reciprocity have complained that Mr..
| Kasson RENTED too literally! The
French government has, therefore, de-
clined to be very liberal with us, although
the concessions granted are more favora-
BILE to our manufacturers than our conces-
sions are to France.
! Let it be remembered that President
| Mckinley in his great Buffalo speech,
made direct appeal to the people over the
heads of the politicians and the people
have been indorsing his utterances ever
since. It is possible that, if congress does
not act in accordance with the advice OF
the lamented Mckinley, but ignores the
subject of reciprocity, the republican
party may find itself lacking majority
in the, forty-eighth congress, which will
be elected next November.

dalton for the repeal Of the obnoxious law
against labor organizations under which
Iglesias, labor leader, was recently sent
enced to imprisonment. His offense con-
sisted merely in organizing a strike for
higher wages at the time the change of
monetary standard Increased the cost Of
living-a perfectly legitimate proceeding
in any American state. But the old Span
ish law, which still maintains in Porto
Rico when not specifically repealed or
amended, made 1t incumbent upon the
judges to condemn Iglesias. He will un-
doubtedly be pardoned If the higher courts
do not find some way to set aside the
sentence Of the lower court, but as Gov
ernor Hunt says, such an un-American
law should be wiped off the statute books
at once.
