m. St. Paul). H'KIMEY A H. The of Walter T-.

Farasworth. nf Chicarjo, self-confessed husband of forty. two individual wiv'-s. Is up to Mr. Kinley.

Noi th.it Mr. Farnswoith has boen tri .1 for his cdiae, convicted, sentenced and is now' avicing for a pardon, Noi all. Mr. Fatttsworth not yet even faced a jury. He says candidly 'hat has Inadvertently men from Greenland's Icy mountains to coral strand; from China to Peru; from London to Chicago.

He makes no bones of the hymenal fact. But he stands nut on constitutional privileges and throws down the gauge of battle to our ruble and perigrinating executive great rhape. Mr. Farnp-worth, who, by th way. is a cand-ymaker, and in this liTie of business li.

-s. sses saccliarine bland shmev.ts which I restet by the averaga raaiden, offers a most unique defense for the crtme of marrying so many people: "The sultan of Sulu has many wives and is under the protection of th? United- States government. I have many v.i\"<. hut the police, not the government, have in charge. This is not according to iht- constitutional provision guaran teeing equality to nil.

It denies special privilege to the residents of this conn- try." adds ominously': i "I will see that I either go frew or ihe I sultan of Sulu gives up seme of h's bet- ter halves." To nur aoble executive, who chokes up and at times becomes almost inaudible in speaking of the glorious possibllttie3 of the eld Bag, this is a most significant hunch, ft had been expected that this question of matrimonial plurality would be pliiinp' into congi-ess. i-omijig up mcl- i illy with the trmrble. It waa not anticipated, however, that it would so soon brought to the attention ot i nur and the whole policy of "benevolent assimilation" picked to pieces by sagacious constitu- I ts. But Mr! Farnsworth purposes to make a case. He wants to know, you know.

His soul's in arms and eager for the fray As a candy man he has ea thrown Into tli mpany of the fair -x iiviisc.rimi- nately. Pursuing his vocation in foreign countries he has married foreign folks rather indiscriminately, it is true, but Kith his lapses from virtue In other climes our courts can, of course, do nothing In the case. He claims to have enjoyed the society of these wives but for a few days apiece and solemnly avers that he was good to all of them. Si far hf these entangling alliances are concerned Mr. Farnsworth is inclined to regard them us closed Incidents.

He says" he cannot tell exactly how many women he has I'ml to the altar or the justice's shop. ran recall eleven in Europe, four in China, tin In Peru, one in England and over twenty in different parts of the world. 'Phis accounts for thirty-nine of them, and leaves him a Chicago trigimist, three different females laying ciaim to the candy-maker in the Windy City. Tt was in Chicago that the unfortunate Mr. Farnsworth fell down.

Chicago women wouldn't stand for it. Wi the easy divorce system in practical operation in that city there was, really, no excuse for the uxorious Mr. Farnswoith to ba on with the new love before he was satisfac. torily off with the old. Hence the kick.

Hence th candynmker'a arrest and hence stand for the constitutional privileges of an American citiz.n and Ms apparently just appeal for equality the law. It h- in this light that the matter Bents itself to Mr. McKinUy and his pliant commission who arrangMl the now celebrated treaty with the sultan of a treaty by which the American flag is ma If to protect both polfgamy and slavery in the reaims of the sultan. What is Iff. Me Kinley going to (Jo in the premises? Can he constitutionally deny to American citizens the rights he fully accurds to a swart, thick-pecked: fcf burian lubber in bag troupers? Can sleep soundly with Mr.

Farnswcrth, his citizen, pining away in the 1 gloom of a mouidy tell in.Joliet? not, In case of Mr. Farnfworth's conviction, throw open itie doors say: "Depart in peace. In accprtanqe with my policy you are guiltless?" Musi not, moreover, our noble executive side with Congressman Roberts in his gght for a seat in the House of representa- Mves? These are pregnant questions for our president to answer; and they are Jes- tined to come home to him with all punctuality of the proverbial chick-n seeking a roosi at sunset Tt will be a particularly InteresUcg political study to observe how our iv We executive will out of it. No matt what course may be taken by the courts the question, finally, is bound to revert to him. Our laws are all against polygamy.

This fact our judges are bound to recognize." Eut our noble executive, having recognized both polygamy and slavery in the realm of our sultan, what will he say to th? Chicago candymaker when he comes be- fore the throne at Washington and pleads for equality before the law? THK WAV T. It 3urely a deTsfferate plight into i which our officeholders have forced this city. more one looks for a way out the more dark and dismal does the prospect seem. There is but one way out; and that way. the (J 1o be repeats, is through the adoption of a new a new, not an old charter, or a patched I charter embodying all the evils but one which now beset us.

When the officeholders started out to make political capital by reducing the taxable value of the property of the people of our city, they evidently forgot that restriction as to the two and a half mills only tor school purposes. Hence, the hole in which we are now placed of being unable to raise money enough to properly sustain our schools. Had they left that valuation as it was, the people would not have been called on to pay a dollar more of taxes than they have since, and we would have ample money at our disposal to pay for our schools. Whichever way one looks for an escape he finds the work of the offieeholding conspiracy rising before him as an almost impenetrable barrier. This school difficulty is not the whole thing.

There are other grievances which the people of St. Paul have as the result of the stupidity and cupidity their local rulers. Neither those grievances nor that relating to the schools will ever be removed by adopting the half-measures which the offieeholding crowd are suggesting, The only way which is at all practicable or reasonably speedy to 'remove all grievanefes is to adopt a new charter. They tel! us that a new charter will not suffice to remove the law from the statute books which prevents the levying of more than two and a half mills for school purposes, and that after we have a new charter we will be no better off. Indeed? What's the matter with putting the assessed value of our people's property back where it was originally? Who will lose by doing so? "What taxpayer will be assessed a dollar more thereby than he would be if the additional levy were declared constitutional and proper? Nobody; not one.

There is no need of making a charter which will run counter to existing restrictive legislation. Not a bit of it. When we have our charier, if there is found any such law in existence, we can have it repealed. There will be no constitutional barrier against our doing so. Any charter commission that is worthy of the name, can readily discern any such obstacles ami avoid them, until we are in a position to go to the legislature and have thpm removed.

But we are not called on to anticipate such obstacles. That one which the officeholders and their organs is insuperable does not exist at all as a matter of fact. Let us get the assessed- valuation back i where it whs originally before the office- i holders dishonestly reduced it, and we will be able to levy all and more than all the money we wan; for the maintenance of our schools. the cry out for a new charter: the ofiiceholders and their organs cry out against it. MINI) VOl OWN BUSINESS.

The special meeting of the board of education held yesterday afternoon was remarkable in many directions. The statement adopted at that meeting ad to the undesirable conditions which attend school administration in this city is no doubt true, and worthy of careful stderation. Its issuance at this time there is no disposition on the part of I the Globe to criticise. Had the board of school trustees proper to itself to the promulgation of that or any corresponding statement there would ba little fault to be found with it. But its members evidently were not content to mind their own business and confine themselves to their own business.

They thought fit to proceed to advise the people of this community what they i should do in the way of providing them. selves with a new system of local organic legislation and how they should do it. This, we repeat, was no part of the business of the board, and that body had no right whatever to engage itself in such an undertaking. What the views of the individual members of that board may be is of very little moment to the people of this com- I miiniiy, certainly of no more moment i than are the views of any like number i of citizens, wish or without any official or representative character to them. Either the members of the board sadly overestimate their individual and aggregate importance as citizens or they choose to ignore, if they ever knew, what was the proper limit to upon their public performances.

There is, of course, no special significance to be attached to the request made by the board of education that the mayor shall call a special meeting of the council for the purpose of having the district judges appoint a charter commission. Had the board or its members confined themselves to dcing this their action might very probably be regarded as entirely gratuitous and harmless. But THE ST. PAUL GLOBK, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1899. when they go further and toll people of this city that such a commission he created "for the sole purpose of so amending the pivsent charier thjit sui'flcTent funds for maintaining the school system may be raised in ihe future," deserve to be rebuked.

The Judges of the district court, upon whom falls the a-uthority to appoini th' commission, may be assumed to enough to discharge that function wi h- i out receiving instructions from the board of education or from any of that board, and tho people of St; Paul can be relied upon for a sufficiently thorough understanding of their own interests aid of (he requirements of their city government to determine for they desire a charter commission to do in the discharge of its functions without receiving Instructions from the schod trustees. It is a wholesome practice upon th iri. of the individual to mind his own business. It is no less wholesome upon the part of the public body to do the sam 3 thing. Doubtless, When the instructions or advice from the board of education as to what kind of charter shall be provided for them there will be some means found for their conveying their wish in this regard to the board of I education, and when the members of the district court are in ne.e:l of such advice they will doubtless request the president of that body to call a special nieelins for the purpose.

A bit of sentimental rot is going 1 the rounds about a beautiful American girl over in London who 'las promised to marry an Englishman on condition that ho to Sooth Africa and expodes I himself io the deadly peril that earns the Victoria cross. Possibly this atrtiful young lady would be disappointed if her adorer did not get shot. True love seldom exhibits such sanguinary symptoms. Thomas B.

DnnwiKt- to ohiiiiJxmSoh House Ksti- iiuiie-d at Fire that threatened to destroy the com- flibslon house of K. E- Cobb. 3L-33 East Third street, broke out in the basement of the building shortly after 5 o'clock yes- ter.flay morning, and for more 'than an hour the department fought the ilames. at a great disadvantage until the fire was flially extinguished, with an estimated lost- of $10,000. The loss Is fully covered by insurance.

The origin of the fire. Is a mystery. It is believed, however, to jiave been started by rats and matches, as there was no firo left in the store the nifeht before, and the elec-tric lights were turned off. "Within a few minutes after the department gel to work they met an obstacle that severely handicapped their efforts. The fire was burning about the firm's refrigerator plant, and large quantities of compressed ammonia escaped.

The pungent gis drove the liremen from their tions, and several of the men were made by inhaling the strong fumes. In one cold storage room in the basement the firm has five car loads of and it is believed that this stock is more or less damaged. The stock on the other floors was damaged to some extent by smoke. Mr. f'obbsays his loss will undoubtedly reach $10,000.

The firm carries insurance upon the store and contents. During- the fire two pet bull terriers, greatly prized by Mr. Cobb, were smothered. tEREMO.VV. Rev.

While in Chicago a rejxji'ter asked the archbishop it hi- had any answer to make to the statement attributed to tha Kansas general to the effect that "if congress would drive tfre friars and confiscate every inch of church property the bottom would drop out of the Insurrection in one week, as the inhabitants of Luzon are completely under the church." The archbishop is quoted as saying: "A specific charge of desecrating a Catholic church with hla own hajida has bt'en made against Gen. Funslon, and it Is for him to prove thsjt it is not If It is untrue he should compel the one making it to retract. There have been enough charges and countercharges along this line since the Philippine war opened.

In the San Francisco Monitor, a Catholic' paper, the charge was made recently that Gen.

Funston, during one of his expeditions, took from a Catholic church a costly vestment which he sent to his wife as a souvenir of the campnlfen.

Here is a charge presented in a way to be easily corrected if it Is false. It Is for Funston to act. These charges have tended to keep the people in a disturbed state of mind and have done harm.

Hasch, Conservative member for the southeast division i of Essex Mr. Clark denied Maj. Rasch's stp.tfment that he (Clark) was in the Boer camp at the time of the fight at Ma.iuba Hill, and characterized the as- serlion a "sample of the misrepie- sentation now prevailing." Maj. Raach promptly retorted thai his slatemeni was made on the authority of Mr. Clark himself, who told him so six years adding that if Mr.

Clark again denied the statement he ithe major! would-take the first opportunity of the statement him outside of parliament, when he could take what steps he liked. Sir William Vernon Hat-court, the for- nifr Liberal leader of the house, said he desired to again call attention to the provocation of the secretary- of state for i.ihi- colonies (Mr. Chamberlain) during" r.ogotiatior.s, and in his speech at High. bury. MR.

eMrAMBKRLAI.V DEFiiNDKD. Mr. Chamberlain replied, i the intention to be provocative, and say- I irq he only intended to be plain and free from ambiguity. He added that he only followed in the negotiations the princi- pies observed by all statesmen during- the past ten or twenty years. There was a i time, he explained, when diplomacy was I regarded as given to statesmen to enable them to cheat their thoughts.

That might be fairly called the "old nipioma- i cy, which, he said, ''I absolutely and I entirely repudiate." he continued, are entitled to demand a clear ex- views, he asserted there vet was the slightest justification for the statement that Kruger had been in doubt: Mr. i'hamberlain then i said: 'Our object, determination and intention were to carry out these objects, it was necessary to impress upon Vre.n lent Kruger ihe seriousness of the step he was called upon to take, and the conse- yuciices whicn would follow any ndstalce on his part. It was not desirable to in- elude in an official disp uch collateral suggestions and indicatims of opinion, but semi-oiflcial warning was conveyed in a speech. A warning i was given by Lord Salisbury to the sultan at the Guildhall banquet, and 1 am still absolutely unrepentant." Regarding Air. Davitt, Mr.

Chamberlain said ne recognised that he had hitherto discussed ihe matter moderately and sincerely, and, he adriod, "1 would pay the greatest attention to his arguments it' i 1 did not know he would use precisely the same arguments in regard to any Brit- ish war, which are on his enmity to AMERICANS ACTION CITBD. would have been the Irish argu- I ment in the Spanish-American war, in which Spain showed herself infinitely less capable of defending herself than the Tratrevaal Here William Redmond, i number for East Clare, shouted: "The Transvaal did not blow up your i warships." Mr. Chamberlain continued: "The great, almost determining contest between the United States and Spain fought without the loss of a American. We have never denied that the was a foeman worthy of our steel. Not only is the disparity between the in the Spanish-American w.ir as great as those now engaged, but the contention of the United Stares and their i right of; interference arose from the fact i that at some distance from their terrl! toriea there was oppression, not of Amcrij man citizens, but of another race and perpte, and that justified ths intervention I the United States in the mind of tho civilized world, or.

at any rate, in the eyes of Englishmen and Irishman. Kut we are interfering In behalf of our own people. It is perfectly certain that Mr. Davitt, but for his hatred of England. would sympathize with us as he did with America." Mr.

Chamberlain then replied to the criticism of his not accepting the media- i tioi! of Mr. Hofmeier. the Afrikander i leader, pointing out that while lie licved Mr. Hofmeier was sincere, yet he ccnld not forget when President Kruger I made absolutely illusory proposals for a i settlement, Mr. Hofmeier was perfectly ready to accept them.

I'resklent Kruger niisJet! Mr. Hofmeier in promising him re- i forms which differed in a great measure from those he really introduced. KRUGER INSINCERE. "These was no need of crookedness If they really desired a settlement," con- tinued Mr. Chamberlain.

"I believe that from beginning to last, President Kruger i never intended giving anything in justice to the white race, nor to make acknowl- edgment of British supremacy. War, therefore, was inevitable. We are called upon to bring the war to quick conclu- sion. and send across the sea a force i sucM as no nation in history ever before sent. This Is entirely due to the prepara- tione which made the Transvaal an arm- ed camp, and which not only secured It a i defensive position, but also enables It to take the offensive against the large force i now engaged.

Such a thing could not be continued forever. We would have ed a permanent farce of 200.i«X) In Africa. We are told we shall I Africa. Our foreign friends are convinced of It. Yet they are not happy.
