Juror Having Itch Allowed to Have

In a certain case the judge ordered the

IT'S GREAT FUN.

IN a weak effort to bolster up its pet
imperialistic policy the esteemed Pioneer
Press Iapses into ridiculous conditions
For instance, after denying the water
cure torture had been inflicted upon
helpless Filipinos until the proofs were
adduced mountain high, it gets around
to the proposition that the "cure" is
not painful, anyhow. In fact, it would
have you imagine the victims rather
enjoy it,
In an editorial paragraph Thursday
morning, the Pioneer Press saws the
water cure is anything but the hor-
rible infection it has been portrayed"
Further along it says the operation
gets to be painful after while but
no ill-results follow from it."
Is it so? Let the Pioneer Press itself
answer On the first page of the same
issue. that is, Thursdays paper, was
quite long article under this heading:
Former Soldiers Tell Stories of Awful
Treatment Alleged to Have Been Given
Filipinos.' In the body of the article
II is related how a priest was given the
water cure" and died of the torture
A surgeon was sent for when it be-
came apparent to the squad imposing the
cure that the priest was in extreme
condition but he arrived too late, the
victim was dead.
1t is now up to the esteemed Pioneer
Press to tell its readers that death from
The effects of the water cure is "any-
thing but the horrible infiction it has

poor priest who died from the effects

it, Ordinarily death from the infliction of

HANNA Has 4 SCANDAL.

Mark Hanna proposes to prove that
Gov Gen. Wood, of Cuba, has been guilty
OF gross favoritism, intimidation of
courts, and other high-handed proceed
ings. ALL forsooth, becauses one of the
Cuban courts convicted Hanna's friend
Rathbone of a felony.
1t will be remembered that Hanna
made loud noise over the matter of bail
for Rathbone, and was successful in get
ting the convicted looter out of Jail.
Hanna insists that Rathbone is as pure
as the driven snow, or himself, and not
proper man to adorn stripes and peer
from behind the bars. He vows and vows
that Rathbone's conviction was due to
the interference of Gov. Gen. Wood, who
is supposed to have the controlling in
fluence with the judicial tribunals of
the island
There will be interesting revelations if
Hanna makes good his public declara-
tons. We have been led to believe Gov.
Gen. Wood the embodiment of all the
virtues in the catalogue and number
of new ones invented by the Cuban
executive himself. It will be remembered
that Wood was colonel of the regiment
or rough riders of which Roosevelt was
lieutenant colonel. The regiment had
hardly reached Cuba when Wood was
taken sick and assigned to other duty,
leaving Roosevelt in command. In
Roosevelts own book it is written down
how he, single-handed, ended the land
operations in Cuba, bringing the war to
a most glorious close. Wood was pro-
NOTED, made military governor of Cuba,
and was heralded as the only man on
earth who could fill the bill to the limit.
Now comes Mr.. Hanna, of Ohio, with
charges of serious nature against this
model administrator of island affairs.
We had hoped to be spared scandals in
Cuba beyond those growing out of the

THE DEr11 4 MONK WOULD BIZ

THE DEVIL Il MONK WOULD BE.
Fred C. SchiffJnann and Franklin H.
Griggs are two leading local Republican
politicians. They have just set up in
business as defenders of the purity Of
the primary election ballot.
Both these men, Schiffmann and Griggs,
before they had set up in their new bust
ness, had been char ged openly In the pub
lie press, by member of their own party
with an attempt to work general de-
bauchment of the primary election bal
lot.
That charge was made by a gentleman
of character and standing. State Repre-
sentative w. w. Dunn of this city, in
the columns of the Dispatch, on March
18th last, charged Schiffman and Griggs
with having conspired to secure through
fraud the passage of an amendment Of
the present primary law.
The effect of that proposed fraudulent
amendment, Mr.. Dunn says, would Rave
been to allow any amount of colonization
and all the evils of the old-fashioned
primary election system 81 believe, .
Mr.. Dunn added. chat man schiffmann
put up that job
That's plain language. What have
schifmann and Griggs or either of them
ever had to say to it? Not one word!
This is no new thing with T h Clio b e.
We have urged these men time ana again
to try to defend themselves against Mr..
Dunn's charge; but they have maintained
a prudent silence.
On March 18th, the day after the pub
LEGATION Of the charge of Mr.. Dunn this
paper reprinted thai charge. We also
commented editorially on the charge.
The Globe opened its editorial COM
ment ca that occasion with this language:
The Globe prints today a very Sc
riOus charge made by a member of the
house of representatives from one of the
districts Of this city, Mr.. Dunn, against
a leading state official, Oil Inspector
charges the latter, without equivocation
or evasion, with an attempt to beat the
existing primary law. by securing under
law which would open the door to Sc
rious frauds on the franchise.
We then asked for a denial of the
charge from Messrs. Griggs and schif
mann. None has ever been forthcoming.
In view of their continued silence, and
of their present appearance in pretending
to seek the punishment Of those who are
charged in a small way with the crime
which they themselves stand charged
with seeking to promote by wholesale,
The Gil be can only repeat concern
ing Schiffmann and Griggs, what it sail
over six weeks ago-that neither of these
men is fit to occupy the position he holds
The Pioneer Press, which now assumes
sponsorship fer Schiffmann and Griggs as
defenders of the purity of the ballot, then
conceded the truth Of Mr.. Dunn's charges,
nor dared attempt word of defense Of
either of them.
These are the men and the influence
to which the good people of ST. Paul are
now soberly told they must look to pre-
Democratic assault.
