RANDOM RRFLEOrIONS,
Many items of interest have been un-
avoidablY crowded out this week
through pressure on our advertising
columns.
Hal Reid has been pardoned and it IS
intimated that Murray will also be soon
released. It is pretty near time that
pardoning board, which ex-Gov. Nc
Gill called attention to-, was establish
ed; 1t is rank injustice to the men in
state prison for far less crimes than
these men have committed to have to
suffer the penalty of their crimes simp.
ly because there is no outside influence
brought to bear to secure their pardon.

The retrenchment and reform cues
tion in the legislature has simmered
down until finally there is nothing left
of it but the question of discharging
and re- instating of clerks. The matter
of clerk hire cuts but very small figure
at best and might we'll be placed at the

The council comm ittee On salaries
has fixed the pay per day for ten hours
work at ST. rs. This is proper-it might
be made So 90. The laboringman will
always be able to find work if you place
some incentive before him-something
that will encourage HIM in the belief
that he is working for something be-
sides the mere matter of keeping the
wolf from the door. Better far $l.75 or
So 90 per day for ten hours than eight
hours and starvat on wages.

The funeral of Mark Mccoy took
place from the Church Of the Immac-
ulate Conception On Monday last.
s.Mark, !" as he was farmiIiarlY known,
came to Minneapolis in 1871, and soon
began life as railway track layer. In
this occupation he was very successful,
and soon became recognized as one Of
the best in his line in the Northwest.
Hosts of friends will remember him for
his quiet, unprerentious manner. 1t
has been said Of him that he had faults
faults that perhaps assisted in bring
ing about his untimely death. Let this
be as it may, it is left for higher tri-
bunal to judge him of all his acts.
May God have mercy on poor Marks
soul.
