To the Editor of The Globe:
In your issue of April 16 l find the fol-
lowing statement:
That interesting story from Western
Pennsylvania of five children at a birth
is not credited ny any of the physicians
competent to speak in the maternity hos
pitalS of New York. Records going back
100 years have been searched without
finding any record that can be depended
upon of such an extraordinary departure
from the natural law. Birth statistics
which are compiled with great care, show
that tripletS are born about one in ten
thousand cases. and quadTuplets once in
three hundred thousand cases. Triplets
have almost the same chance for life as
twins, and usually are of the same sex.
Sixty per cent of twins born are the same
sex. Quadruplets are so rare that the
average of the division cannot be deter
mined. 1t is unusual for any one Of four
children at a birth to survive. There is
an unauthenticated record Of five children
having been born at one time in an Ital-
ian province, and it is said the mother
was presented with five ounces of sold
by member of the royal family. The
exact date is not given, nor the name OF
the woman. She is spoken of as a peas
ant greatly favored by the Lord "
In reference to this l will say that in
Sun Prairie. Wis, a woman gave birth to
five boys at one BIRTH She was person
ally known to me. and any. doubling ply
sician can readily convince himself of the
truth Of the matter if he chooses. 1t hap
pened many years ago, perhaps twenty
five or thirty, but the family are well

practicing physician at that time.

Cochran Not to Be Taken Seriously.

Don't take Mr.. Cochran so seriously
lie has come down here not to correct
abuses or scourge iniquity, but to sum
up an imaginary situation for campaign
purposes. He does that sort of thing
eXcellently. His fancy is lively, his vo-
cabuIary rich, and his extravaganza of
statement proverbial. But what would
you have from an orator acting under
commission, and somewhat at a disad-
vantage by reason of a dearth of is
sues? And, mark you, the call to re-
turn to higher and better thing comes
from the precincts OF Tammany Hail.

What the Editors Say

FOR grown men to talk about reci-
proclty in mon competing commodi-
ties it is as silly as it would be to swan
imaginary horses, or to trade quarter
OF section of land III the moon for one
of the rings of Saturn. We must have
more and wider markets for our pro-
ducers or we must curtail production
and curtailment means disaster to the
producer. The only way in the world
that our markets can be extended is by
reciprocity. If we sell all the time and
buy nothing our markets will soon be
worthless, because the other fellows
won't have any money to buy with
The Democratic party is woefully short
of political ammunition, we trust Re-
publlcans Will not supply them by de-
claring against reciprocity, either di-
rectly or indirectly-S Center Her

1t is said that both Dunn and Col
Inns Will take the stump through the
state in behalf Of their candidates.
If Frank Eddy takes a notion to follow
suit there is a whole lot of fun in store
for the voters.-BrOwns Valley Trib-
une.
Don't you believe, Bro. Gordon, that
Dunn and Collins will enter into a
speechifying contest with Mr.. Eddy.
They both well know how hopeless
their case would be should they under
take a campaign of this kind. They
even knew this at the time of the edi-
torial banquet at Minneapolis last win
ter.-GlenWOOd Herald.
Hartman, of the Union Pacific, wants
to get control of the Northern Pacific
railway, which means that the Rookie
feller interests want it. The people of
Minnesota would just as soon see it
under the management of Jim Hill as
the Rockefellers, for Jim has some
state pride, and the Rockefellers haven't
got anything but money and greed for
more money. They have no conscience
for what they had of that was burned
up by Standard oil years ago.-St. Pc
ter Herald.
All Minnesota editors learn with sor-
row of the death of Col. G. J. MOnfOrt,
of the Windsor hotel, ST. Paul. His
homelike hotel has been the favorite
stopping place of the fraternity for
years. He frequently accompanied the
editors on their excursions and was on
terms of intimacy with hundreds of the
publishers. He was a genial, kind,
considerate man, an ideal landlord.
His death will be mourned by all edi-
tors as a friend.-HutchinsOn Leader.
A st. Paul high school principal ad-
vOcates the promotion of teachers from

NEW YORK LEADING THE WAY

The nomination of Judge Parker as
the Democratic candidate for the pres
idency by the st. Louis convention is
practically assured by the action Of
New York state. 1t has instructed it's
delegation to vote solidly for Judge
Parker. New Jersey, although sending
its delegation uninstructed, will CO.
operate heartily with New York. The
South is already in line. Reasonable
Democrats throughout the West every
where are agreed that, since they have
so little power to give electoral votes
to the good cause, they should fall in
under the leadership of the Democracy
Of the East and the South, who must
contribute most to the winning cause.
The action Of the St. Louis convention
is, therefore, scarcely less in doubt to-
day than is the nomination Of Mr..
Roosevelt by the Republicans.
We regard this action Of New York
as eminently fitting and wise. The
struggle that developed in the con-
vention was a mere contest for leader
ship and control of the organization in
the state. We are no special admirers
Of Mr.. David B. HILL and we do think
that Mr.. Charles F. Murphy, the new
leader of Tammany, is a man of great
parts and promise. But it happened in
this case that he was wrong and SEN
ator Hill was right.
Both of them We're sincerely in favor
of the support of Judge Parker, behind
whom stands the unanimous Democra-
cy Of his own state A failure to in
struct would have obscured this fact
1t would have been said plausibly at
the national convention that Judge
Parker lacked something Of enthusi-
astic devotion if he could not bring a
delegation instructed, as well as solid,
from his home. The quality Of tho
support of the candidates own state
has very grave effect upon a national
convention. When that state is New
York, one so Indispensable to success
and one so lightly balanced that people
never know to which party it is going
to fall, the query is even more peril
nent. The truth is that failure to in
struct for Judge Parker would have
been a hard backset to his candidacy
and a disappointment to the people.
Judge Parker is now formally in the
field. The platform adopted by the
New York convention represents fairly
the basis on which national Democra-
cy will go before the country. 1t is ad-
mirable in tone and viii appeal strong
ly to a public disappointed and dis
gusted with existing conditions. DEM
| ocrats stand for the supremacy Of the
law as against executive usurpation.
They stand for tue observance of
treaties and the maintenance Of the
national faith unstained. They stand
for the just regulation Of corporations
| and the destruction Of trusts and COM
bines that oppress the people and
stifle competition. They stand for
economy in public expenditure and the
consequent Tightening Of taxation.
They stand for reasonable and thor
ough revision OF the tariff. They stand

Russia,s Submarine Boats.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 19.-The
first of five new submarine boats
building at st. Petersburg and forty
wagon loads of ammunition were dis
patched today to the theater Of war.
The submarine boat, which was sent
off in sections, is elliptical in shape
and fitted with an improved electrical
apparatus for firing torpedoes, which
it is claimed experiments have shown
enormously increases the offensive
power of torpedoes. In all there are
fourteen submarine boats planned or
in course Of construction at the Neva
works here, and it is expected all will
be ready about the middle of July.

Contemporary Comment
Up to conaress.

The general deficiency bill which is
now oelng considered in committee
contains an appropriation of $1,000, 600
10 cover the cost of the executive or
DER pensions for next year Clearly
the pensions cannot be paid, order or
no order, unless congress provides the
money. we never hear anything at all
ABOUT that phase of the matter from
the congressional orators and congrat-
ulators. If congress or any part Of the
congressman desire to show honest op-
position, either to the new pension
scheme itself or to the alleged tyranny
or the White house. it has but to make
a genuine fight against this appropria-

AbatInu His Claim.

Edmond Dantes swan through the
stage sea to the hand-painted rock and
climbed up the wooden steps at the back
of it, held his property knife aloft, and
shouted in his deepest melodramatic
voice:

The AnaIo : Saxon Peril.

1t is something new for a white race
to speak OF s'the Anglo Saxon peril.' 1t

spite of the vaporings of the Russ, in
pretending fear of "the yellow and
Anglo-Saxon perils," that will continue
to be the common opinion of mankind.

M AATHIAS BANTZ is before the
I'VE people of the Eighth ward for
reelection as alderman, and
with every prospect of success.
Bantz has served three terms on the
board of aldermen and has demon
strated in several sanguinary bat
ties in his ward that he is some
thing of fighter. The nomination
was disputed at the primaries. but
he won out in a field of five candi-
dates, and his phenomenal run will
undoubtedly be a source of strength
at the polls. In the council Aid.
Bantz has always been regarded as
the special champion of organized
labor, and several measures of ben
eft to the street force had their
origin with him. He is a popular
German in the strongest German
ward in the city, and as a cam
paigner in both English and Ger
man he has few equals among the
candidates on either ticket.

CHARLES E. NYBERG is the

despite the fact that the ward is
heavily Republican his chances for
election are considered more than
even. He is a young man, it is his
first venture in politics, but he has
long taken deep interest in muni-
cipal matters and knows thoroughly
the ward, it's people and their
needs. His personal popularity is
such that he knows personally al
most every voter in the ward. and
the fact that he is a Scandinavian
Will be an element of strength to
him in this ward. Being a Demo-

cal faith, no matter how able and
anxious to be Of use. The council

FLORIDA PC RCHAsE

How can we take that view? Did they not expand tine nation in that day? We absolutely went and bought Florida in ISIS from the Spanish, with out asking whether they desired to be ruled by the American nation or not. There were a great many people Tn that land who were more entitled to self government than the Philippines. Whenever they got out of the notion of being governed, we sent the army down there to show them that the proper thing to do was to give their consent. In lsi3 we gave them self government. This is the very thing the Democrats are asking for the Philippines, with tears in their eyes; they say we must bestow upon the islands self-govern- ment, after a perio.i oi only three or four years under American rule.
