Two More Pardons.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. December 2S.-
Governor Campbell to day issued par
dons to Jefferson and Otis Fleming,
two brothers who were convicted of
manslaughter in Defiance County in
1884. The crime of which they were
convicted consisted in the killing of q
bully named Snyder while engaged in
saloon row. All the parties were
drunk and Snyder received kicks in
the abdomen that resulted fatally.
There were some doubt as to their
share of guilt and in 1885 they were
paroled. Public sentiment has favored
their pardon, which was recommended
by the trial Judge and Prosecuting At
torney. Since their parole both have
been leading irreproachable lives at
Defiance, Ohio. Jefferson was given
eighteen years and Otis fourteen years
at the time of their conviction.

THE Supreme Court of Texas has
decided the "alien land law" uncon-
stitutionsl. This law was passed by
the last Legislature, and prevented
any foreigner holding title to land in
Texas. This prevented loans being
made upon real estate as security by
any man or by any company with 80
much as one foreigner as stockhOld-
er, and caused the ruin Of many prop
erty holders. The above decision is
said to be satisfactory to the State at

In speaking of the custom of young

saws: There seems to be kind of
mania among young ladies as we'll as
young gentlemen, that they can do
better In the "toreign market" The
less each knows about the other before
marriage makes the experience richer
of finding out more after marriage, and
brings the doors of divorce courts
nearer. The scientific student courts

are made without the experience of
courting. A few sentimental letters, a
few calls with dim lights. marriage
ceremony, and then the first real ac-
uuaintance begins. 1t Is not be to won
dered that SO many young homes are
filed with disappointments, and after
years of hopeless search after happi-
ness the courts are appealed to tear
assunder the vows which were conse-
Grated when the bloom of youth was
on the cheek, and when the fire of en-
thusiasm was in the eye, when the
heart was full of hope and ambition
and the step was firm and strong.

A PERFECT town is that in which
you see the farmer patronizing the

ing the money they earn with their

spirit that will not purchase articles
abroad if they can be bought at home.
The spirit of reciprocity between man
and the mechanic, tradesman and
laborer, farmer and manufacturer re-
suits every time in making the town a
perfect one to do business in. per

An Outrage that should be Remedied

An Outrage that should be Remedied.
The NetO York World puts 1t strongly
but justly when it says that recent
events sharply emphasize the barbarity
Of the law which imposes a tariff tax
upon the means of education and cul-
ture. This great country levies tribute
at it's gates upon works Of art, sorely
mulcting those who spend their money
in an endeavor to enrich the Republic
with such masterpieces as are easily
welcomed and zealously sought by
every other civilized nation upon earth.
1t sends its spies to search out and
seize any pictures that may perhaps
have come in years ago without psy-
ing the fine. 1t imposes a penalty
upon the decoration of mustard pot
or the use of art in printing the label
of a vinegar bottle. And all this bar
barsm is without excuse. The tax on
art was levied when we had more of
the revenue than we knew what to do
with. The only. class of citizens who
can by any possibility be supposed to
be protected" by the tax are to man
opp osed to it and have petitioned for
its repeal. Protectionists and Free
Traders, and all enlightened classes
between, condemn it as barbarous and
detrimental. Why should not Con-
gress this year sweep away the whole
hideous blot with three-line statute?

resolutions passed by the directorate Of
the road at recent meeting, giving no.
tice to the state that the road is about to
construct a branch line of road from
its st. Hilaire branch at point near
Wylie station via Red Lake Falls to a
point on the Passion branch near Dug
dale. This will be lateral line.

to the st. Paul, Minneapolis 81 Manitoba

road, of which Col. Crooks was the
president, runs from Eagle Bend, Todd
county, to Park Rapids, a distance of
little over fifty-four miles. The con-
sideration of the transfer was SS17. 900.
Probably owing to the above trans
action. a release of mortgage that had
beell placed On the Park Rapids line by

1t fails to relate the amount of the
mortgage, however.
