TARIFF BOARD
BILL killed
House Filibusters Against
Senate Amendments.
SUPPLY MEASURES SAFE

Several Were In Peril Up to the Last
Moment but They Finally Got
Through and Were Signed by the
President - Canadian Reciprocity
Failed of Ratification Because Of
FiIibuster Against It in the Senate.
Washington, March 6:-The Sixty.
1irst congress expired by constitution
al limitation and will reassemble April
4 in special session. -.... *
Despite the peril that threatened
some of the big appropriation bills al.
most up to the last moment they all
finally got through and received the
signature of the president. The last
bill signed by the speaker of the house
was the postoffice appropriation act:
The close of the session was excit-
ing in both houses. A filibuster in the
house was successful in killing the
tariff board bill.
The Canadian reciprocity agreement
died in the senate, the Mccall bill
embodying it's provisions having
passed the house only.
Filibusters in both houses lasted I'm.
til within bare half hour of ad-
journment. Much bitterness of feel
ing was exhibited, but finally the
blockade gave way and the session on
both sides ended with the usual felici-
tations, though the certainty of an ex-
ira session hung cloudlike over the
final moments.
In the house the venerable speaker,
Mr.. Cannon, laid down his gavel prob
ably for the last time, after compli-
mentary remarks by his successor to
be, Champ Clark of Missouri, who led
the unanimous cheers of the house for
"Uncle joe" The house took recess
during which the speaker delivered
his valedictory.
On being conducted back to the
chair upon conclusion of his speech
the speaker, at 1885 o'clock, declared
the house Of representatives ad-
journed There ensued scene of re-
joicing and song singing that was in
striking contrast with the more vio-
lent scenes of but few minutes
before.

Yet it is shown that almost all Of
the officers at Red Wing use tobacco
freely, sin the presence Of the boys
and the ladies, too,'' testified one wit
ness who for four years was an in
structor at the school-a Christian
young woman whose truthfulness
only the superintendent dared as
sail.
Although some members Of the
committee do not appear overly en-
thusiastic in the conduct of the in
vestigation, the hearings are open
and under the fair, careful, compe-
tent questioning of Senator Sullivan
of st. Cloud, the curtain has been
rung up and from the senate chamber
a flood of light is illuminating Red
Wings and the: states disgrace.
What the final action of the COM
mittee may be can not be anticipated,
but is certain that the public will
rise in righteous indignation if there
is an attempt at white wash. 81

Explosives In Your Body.

The human body contains no fewer
than four substances which are so in
f1ammable that in pure state they
will ''go off, by spontaneous combus-
ton. For instance. there is phospho-
rus. The body of person weighing
12O pounds contains twenty-five
ounces of this substance, which, as
everybody knows, readily takes fire of
it's own accord if exposed to the air.
it is combined with lime to make the
bones. taking the form of phosphate
lime. The body of human being
weighing 12O pounds contains nearly
one and a half ounces of magnesium,
two ounces Of sodium and nearly two
and a half ounces Of potassium. The
first Of these, substance of silvery
whiteness, is so readily and iercely
combustible that it has to be kept
tightly corked in bottles to prevent il
from" igniting of it's own accord: So
dunn will take fire if thrown into
water, and so likewise will potassium
the latter with great violence, finally
exploding and throwing a shower OF
sparks into the air.-New York World.

The DRAINAGE QUIZ

While on the subject of investiga-
lions, "a word may properly be- said
of the inquisition now being con-
Quoted by the members of the lower
house relative to the conduct and
methods pursued by the state en-
gineer, George Ralph. -
This affair at first threatened to
be so deep in politics that the final
result would be practically nil. 1t
isn't likely that, although Speaker
Dunn appears to have named a per-
fectly frank committee, the findings
will be- entirely satisfactory for
charges of influence are apt to be
made by one side or the other.
This is something the north is
vitality interested in because nothing
is more important to the development
of this part of the state than drain
age.
If the state engineer has been re-
miss in his duties; is incompetent,
or has used his official position for
private betterment, the public ought
to know it and it is an important
duty involving upon the Investigating
committee to either establish or dis
prove these assertions.
If Mr.. Ralph, as many of his
friends in the north believe, has
worked for the best interest of the
state, he is entitled to vindication al
the hands of the committee and is
entitled to just as complete ar ex-
oneration as will be the pubic re
nuciation if it is really established

STOP The TORTURED.

Flogging contraptiors, shackles,
slugs and chains as adjuncts to a
state training school are as object
ional and repulsive as are the crea-
lures who intlict such punishment
and as barbaric as the discipline
which causes boys to be fastened over
steam pipes, their teeth knocked out;
their bodies and faces disfigured by
blows from officers who further ap-
pease their anger by denying inmates
food for days, other than bread and
water.
That such things have taken place
and, to a greater o. less extent con-
tinue, at the Red Wing institution
are actual facts according to pre-
ponderance of evidence presented by
an imposing array of witnesses at
the legislative investigation now I'M
der way. Instructors at the school
young women of talent, education,
unblemished reputation and unpre-
JUDGED minds, joins with other en-
ployes of the place, boy inmates and
mothers and fathers of inmates, in
one long tragic story of the terrible
torture inflicted upon youths who,
having passed into the hands of the
state for care and correction are sent
to Red Wing.
These undeniable facts, which
otherwise would have remained dark,
gloomy secrets, have been established:
First-A contrivance generally
known as a fogging machine existed
until destroyed by fire and that
barrel in the root cellar, now takes it
place.
Second-That boys, for variety
of offenses, are stripped of their
clothing and severely whipped.
These things the head of the in
stitution does not attempt to deny
and it is useless, in the face of such
preponderance of evidence of wit
nesses, for him to deny that other
modes of punishment, which are not
looked upon with favor by the public,
have been practiced.
Not unmindful of the fact that
school of this kind is made up, to
large extent, of incorrigible, thiev-
ing, lying, deceitful children and that
to obtain discipline, extraordinary
precautions must be adopted, the evil
dence presented to the committee at
the two public hearings has convinc-
ed the ordinary person that extreme
cruelty has been practiced by inhu-
name officers, often in a frenzy o.
rage, upon boy inmates and that
whippings have been administered
for unjust causes. -..- r"
Testimony has been unearthed to
show that many lads have been.
handled brutally because they have
either chewed of smoked tobacco.
Most of the boys sent to Red Wing
have acquired the tobacco habit and
any who is an inveterate user of the
weed is willing to admit that it re-
quires tremendous will power to
break the habit and that it would be
.doubly hard to abstain while in the
presence of other persons using it.
