EFFORT TO ABOLISH
DEBTORS PRISON
Sheriff Erlanger Support.
ed by Many Lawyers,
will Make an Effort to
Secure Reform.

NEW YORK. Oct Unsupported
by nearly all Of the leading lawyers
OF New York Sheriff Erlanger will
make an effort to have the next legis.
lature abolish that relic OF mediae.
valism, the debtors prison Of New
York. by repeating the law permitting
arrests In civil cases. The sheriff
hopes that a sufficiently strong pub
lie sentiment can be aroused In sup
port OF the measure. Before the
present sheriff went into office the
civilsuit prisoners were treated as II
they were convicted criminals. Now.
they are well fed; their cells, or rath.
er rooms, are comfortable and neat.
and they are free TO come and go as
they please within the boundaries OF
the prison. The ease with which q
person can be put In Jail here for
debt makes no nan secure against
the debtors prison. and once within
Its walls there IL no chance OF escape
unless m submits to the demands OF
the sharp practice man and the black,
mailer. It Is occasionally a matter
of life Imprisonment for no crime.

of these propositions and say that
he made that the basis of his cam

These propositions have been re-

Mr.. Eddy does not make any claim
they are original with him. A man
can no more write an original re-
publican platform than he can write
an original Lords prayer. Mr.. Eddy
simply claims that the propositions
presented by him represent the
majority of republican sentiment

no other republican newspaper, OF
any republican candidate now or
hereafter dare dispute any one of
the propositions enunciated by him
as republican doctrine. The News,
Tribune may consider a campaign
carried on without Doodle, brag,
buster, threats, abuse, vituperation
and umbrellas "roaring farce" and
the republican voters of the state
may agree with it-and they may
not. Mr.. Eddy would like to be
governor, what man would not, but
he would rather go down to the
state convention without his own
county than receive unanimous
nomination on the terms made by
the other candidates.

Jewish Funerals.

Wolfenstein, in his "Idyls Of the
Glass;" tells of the peculiar tenderness
of Jewish burial society. When a
death occurs there. he says, whether
in the house of the rich or the poor,
the society sends two locked boxes
to the bereaved. One contains the
funds of the society, the other is
empty. The fund is then transferred
from one box to the other, and in the
process one may add to it, or take
from it, or leave it intact. The boxes
are then returned locked, and no one
knows or can know who has made a
donation or who has charity funeral.

TARIFF BOOSTERS.

The present campaign has de.
veloped some queer political terms.
Those who believe that some of the
tariff schedules should be reduced
and that reciprocity treaties should
be entered into are known as
"Tariff Revisionists'' although,
strictly speaking, a tariff may be
revised by raising as well as lower
ing it. Those who believe that
there is something sacred about
tariff legislation and that the wei,
fare of the country would be i'm
periled if it is tempered with are
known as "Stand Patters." There
is a new class which think that the
tariff should be revised but that it
should be revised upward instead OF
downward and that practically all
protective tariffs should be raised
These are known as''Tariff Boost
ers."
Congressman J. T. McCleary
of this state is one of the most con
spicuous of the "Boosters. H.
J. Miller, of Luverne, announced
himself as a candidate for congress
against McCleary on tariff revision
declaration and McCleary promptly
met the challenge by declaring thai
he believed that protection should
be raised instead of lowered.
We think that McCleary il
radically wrong in his views but We
like. his style. He is fair and above
board. If he is nominated 1t will
not be by false pretenses. His
constituents will know what he viii
do if he is elected. He does moi

date. Republicans are gravely told
that other republicans are corrup-
tionists, corporation representa-
tives, chronic Office seekers who
have and will neglect the peoples
interests, traffic in the peoples
privileges, barter in the peoples
appointments, and in fact, if one
half is true that the parties charge
one against the other, the men
against whom these charges are
directed, ought to be in Jail instead
of holding public Office and if they
are not true, the men who make
the charges, merit and ought to re-
ceive the contempt of all right
thinking men for circulating false.
hoods against their fellow party
workers. Seeds Of dissension, di-
vision and disruption are sown with
lavish hand within republican ranks
in order that individual interests
may be advanced. In fact, the
candidates that are 80 evidently
and with force of arms,"-there is
no other expression that describes
the situation-seeking support, have
demonstrated that they want sthe
nomination, honorably if they can
get it that way, but they want the
nomination, and that they stand
ready to sacrifice the best interests
of the party and of the state to
crafty their own personal ambi
tons; and again we say that such a
pre-convention campaign Is an out
rage on public decency and ought
to be rebuked by thinking republi-
cans who have no interests at stake
except the common interests all
good citizens have in good govern
ment.

Stairway of Blue Marble.

A marble stairway will be one of the
striking features of Washington's
unique building at the fair.
The handsome stairway will be in
the center of the octagonal building
and around it will be grouped the his
toric exhibits of the state. The steps
are cut from solid marble blocks.
The steps, nine in number, are cut
from a variety known as "patrician
blue"
The landings are also of marble
and four marble posts, sixteen inches
square and seven feet high support a
hand rail on each side of the the
stairway.
The wainscoting along the stairs
is of offended stripe" and the thing
of the landing "crystal white" The
design is plain, but massive and
handsome.

publicanism that means something
to the men who raise the wheat
and the corn that should fill the
mouths of the hungry inhabitants
of the earth. This is the republi-
canism that comes home to those
whose sheep and cattle Craze on a
thousand hills. This is the republi-
canism of the Blaines, the Garfields,
and the McKinleys, the great men
of the party, whose craftsmanship
was as broad as the continent; not
the republicanism of the Shaws, the
Dalzells, and the Grosevenors, little
men, whose republicanism is
bounded by the corporate interests
they represent. 1t is the republi-
canism of the nation, not that of
diminutive sections. 1t is not the
republicanism of trusts, corpora
tons and monopolies, whose in
terests in the masses is measured by
the amount of money they can
wiring out of them. 1t is not the
republicanism of the campaign fund
furnishers, but it is the republi-
canism of voters. Statesmen write
platforms that will bring the votes
because the principles they contain
are right, just, and equitable.
Schemers write platforms that will
suit interests that will furnish
funds to purchase success and pur-
chased success is worse than defeat.
Reciprocity is one of the cardinal
principles of republicanism and We
do not believe any man or set of
men will dare to strike it out of the
republican national platform.

APARrINo WORD.

AASAO ou0sAOA AcS~S S
Herald will have reached its
readers the republican caucuses and
county conventions will have been
held and the men who will admin
lister the civic affairs of the state
for the next two years, will have
been selected, for every one con-
cedes that the election this fall, as
far as the state of Minnesota is con-
cerned, will simply be ratification
of the action of the state republican
convention which will be held in
st. Paul on June 3Oth.
We desire parting word with
our republican readers.
1t is the duty of every republican
voter to attend the caucus and per-
form his duty as a citizen, if he
fails to exercise this privilege he
is precluded from expressing dis
satisfaction if his wishes are not
complied with. When man shifts
the responsibility of performing a
duty that he ought to perform him
self, to others, he has no right to
complain if it is not performed to
his satisfaction.
1t should be borne in mind that
money contributed by corporations
or individuals to aid the other in.
dividuals in securing nomination
is an investment and the parties
accepting such favors agree to pay
it back and to secure such payment
they mortgage either their policy,
or their patronage or both; and
voters who send delegates who will
aid in nominating men who have
taken such action, are aiding in
ratifying such transaction.
1t is we'll for the voter at the
caucus to bear in mind that money
expended to secure nomination is
never paid out to honest men.
Honest men do not have to be
bought or hired to support men
whom they think are best fitted for
position, and they cannot be bought
or hired to support unfit men, and
that men never expend large sums
to secure a nomination unless they
have reason to believe that a
majority of the honest and dis
interested members of their party
are opposed to their nomination.
Every voter before going to
caucus ought to paste in his hat the
fact, that when men beg and en-
treat you to support a candidate,
they do not take this course for
your interest but for their own
benefit. There is no more reason
why voter should aid in nominal
ing another voters candidate than
that that voter should support his.
1t is we'll to bear in mind the fact
that you can't vote twice and what
ever action you take is irrevocable
until the next caucuses are held
and if you make mistakes you must
abide by them.
Finally it should be borne in
mind that it is your duty to exer-
else your own Judgment, that you
know what you want better than
any one can tell you, that you were
endowed with reasoning power to
use for your own benefit and that
the man who gives his intellect a
vacation at caucus time and allows
another man to do his political
thinking, will never accomplish his
own desires.
