The card published by Commissioner
Hart generating himself as much as
possible for the long measurement of
short stone work in the county, gives
evidence of exceedingly loose business
by the commissioners. As a sample
they appoint one Of their own number
superintendent OF stone work and then
authorize the auditor to issue orders on
the superintendent certificate. This
is looseness personifed, and the person
with the opportunity made the COM
missioners responsible by drawing pay
for more than double what was due.
There is nobody more to blame than
the board Of commissioners. They ap-
pointed the superintendent and made
the way for him to pay without exam.

The only question is, how much will the

TO MY ADOPTED COUNTRY.

America! love thee, thy son fain would be,
Such to become left my home, and crOss'd the
deep blue sea
And vowed when I'd reached this beautiful land
And thy sweet smiling face had seen,
That my duty plain was to start life again
And accept the Stars and Stripes for my queen.
And with Joy thy school and church bells have
heard ring,
Oh what thoughts they inspire as they raise the
heart higher,
1 am sure their sweet music message must
bring.
Hank! DER mountain and valley and prairie they

Penal PickingS.

The President of Mexico has announced his in

of all prisoners confined in Mexican PRISONS
This act of executive clemency is in honor of Co

LIBERATED in October of this year. Other presi-
dents and governors might with propriety follow
the example of President Diaz.
The severity of English judges concerning
crime against property would seem to be myth.
In looking over London weekly paper l was
much surprised by the comparatively light SEN
fences imposed on prisoners for the most serious
class of crimes. l selected twelve cases nclud-
ing forgery, burglary, grand larceny and the
average sentence was about years. may add
that out of this number some had been previous
ly convicted. There did not seem to be the same
anxiety on the part of prosecuting counsel, or
Judge, to strain point of law to secure con-
victiOn or longer sentence such as have no.

"doing time p" for absolutely no crime at all. At
least dozen have assured me that they were in

they had learned in the court room. The thought
suggests itself what excellent jurymen these
men would have made. was on Jury myself
once and the evidence was very strong against
the prisoner; all but one voted him guilty, but
this juryman was obstinate and finally we
brought in a verdict of mot guilty." Fresh facts
came to light which proved the accused mans
innocence beyond doubt. and one of the eleven
wavering jurymen meeting the man who had so
influenced them all, thanked him for saving
them from the commission of great injustice

our painful labOrs are very unnecessary and

this rambling paper. A certain German prince
making tour through France, expressed wish
to see the galley slaves; he was at once escorted
to the dock yard where they were at work, and
in compliment to his rank permission was given
him to set free one convict. The prince, there
fore, went among the men questioning them as
to their sentences and crimes. In answer to the
question what he had done to be there the first
convict grOwled, Nothing; it's easy to imprison

crime this year. The fact that but few of
the suffers succeeded In voting does not In
any way palliate the offense of false regis
tration. 1t was only by the most unremit-
ting efforts that the scheme of the bosses to
vote 5000 or 5000 suffers was thwarted. The
scheme was well conceived and with fairly
accurate estimate of the number of suffers
that would carry the election. If the five
thousand suffers who did not succeed in
voting had been added to the Kelly and
Crimmins vote the city would have been
under the control of that firm for another
two years. Before the election it was said
that every violation of The law would be
punish ed. 1t was the fear that this menace
woa Id be carried out that induced the
suffers TO keep away from the polls. But
unfulhlled threats soon cease TO have terror.
Ii no one is punished this year for false
registration the army of suffers will be re-
cruited next year by yagaDonds from all

peace of the future that political bosses be
taught that victories cannot be won in this
way. San Francisco had a narrow escape

ing VIII the organization that was so
active in preventing illegal voting allow
those who falsely registered TO escape?

SOME MISTAKES.

The number OF mis- axes in the following
extract from the Examiner Is exactly equal
to the number OF assertions:
The Republican skies are in the present
aspect void OF promise. Protection on which
tile party staked its ALL Is dead. Only another
great war and the consequent supreme need for
revenue could induce The American people ID
again tolerate high tariff.
Admitting that these assertions involve
the faculty of judgment rather than verae-
ity, they are premature and to an extent
not warranted by the facts OF history. II
the Republican Iarty profits by its over
throw, as parties generally do. its promis e
is brighter than ever before. For some
years it has needed to do something it had
not the power 10 do. In other words, il
needed to unload. 1t was groaning beneath
the weight of corporations it could not
shake off. The load il was compelled to
carry was the penalty 1t had to pay for its
long term OF power. The defeat of 1894
i'd the party no good. The change Of .OOC
votes in New York would have changed the
result. There were dozen causes to which
the defeat might be attributed, not the
least potent of which was Mr.. Blaine's at
tendance upon a miilionaire's dinner a
couple OF days before the election.
The assertion that the protective policy
is dead has been made whenever the free
trade party has obtained a temporary as
tendency. 1t was made in 1886 when the
abiest free-trade advocate the United
States has yet produced formed his revenue
tari1, which was a gradual slide into the
sea OF Tree trade. Before the sea was
reached financial CONFUSION shook the
country. Foreign goods which had been
brought into the country had drained IL of
money in spite of the millions of go,d CON.
tributed to the East by California. Atthat
time our gold went out of the State as
last as IL was mined in exchange
for food and clothes. The people of th,.
State had the first handling of many MIL
lions each year and the second handling of
scarcely as many thousands. We bonabt
from abroad almost everything we con.
sumed. Had there been no war there
would have been a protective tariff for the
simple reason that the approach to free
trade we had made was running the country.
The third assertion, that only a great
war and the consequent need for revenue
could induce the people to tolerate high
tariff, reveals the free-trade squint the
Examiner has acquired. High duties on
competitive articles do not insure large
revenue. On the contrary, high duties de-
crease importations. without which there
