THERE is a law in Minnesota which
permits the governor to pardon a life
prisoner on condition that he leaves the
state. Ex-Gov. Merriam exercised this
privilege last yenr, but the pardoned
convict returned to visit his sick wife
and was promptly recommitted to the
penitentiary by the executive. A re-
cent court decision decided that he had
no owe to do this until the case had
been considered by the lower courts,
and now the ~ex-convict, after his release,
brings suit against the ex-governor for
false imprisonment. This all leads to
the belief that Minnesota penitentiaries
can supply plenty of material for the
next campaign of education.

The prospectus and advance sheets for n
new book to be issued soon by the National
State Publishing company, have just
reached ua. il outlines the ground to be
covered by n new state history Of Idaho and
Montana. This is the first attempt at the
publication of an authentic history Of these
new western commonwealth by an able
writer. Tho time chosen to accomplish a
work of this nature is n fitting one. At
this time these states have just merged into
the larger life of statehood, and now while
the records are fiesh in the minds of tho
older settlers q compilation may be had
which can be made authority on all matters
PEI taining to the settlement and growth OF
these states. A book can be written now,
with the assistance of those who have made
these states. which will do full Justice to
the events of the past and need not oail on
tradition. Tho task Of editing and writing
the descriptive portions of this history has
bsen given into the hands of no less a
savant of lite 'ature than Joaquin Miller.

By virtue of majorities, the republi-
can aldermen of Butte and Great Fplls
refused to confirm the mayors nomlna-
tions for city offices. The Butte excuse
is that although a democratic mayor
was elected, the republicans are entitled
to one-half the plums; the Great Falls
excuse has not been received. The
striking fact in both instances is the en-
tire lack of criticism OF the worth or in
tegrity of the appointees. This is bad
business. a mayor is always held re-
sponsible for work in any department
which comes under his appointive
power. His election means that a ma
lority of people have faith in his iudg-
ment to choose the heads of depart
ments. The refusal Of n council of al
dermen to confirm a nomination, except

am fully satisfied that it is neither wisdom nor
economy to limit the pay of legislators to three
dollars day for fifty days only, The practical
effect is to limit the session to less than forty
working days. In new and growing state, a
certain amount of legislation Is absolutely re-
CURED; and it is not for the public interest that
it should be hastily and inconsiderately attended

sacred, and should not be .yitiated By frand nor
