Pardon Of the Anarchists.

Governor Altgeld has pardoned the
three convicted anarchists, Schwab,
Fielden, and Neebe, from the Joliet
penitentiary. In doing so he has exer-
cised his constitutional right to extend
the exercise of his prerogative. Not
content to merely -lercise his right to
pardon the prisoners, the Governor has
overruled the Supreme Court of the
State Of Illinois. He declares THAT the
men indicted for the Haymarket killing
were tried by prejudiced jury before
prejudiced judge; that the riot was
the result of police brutality and the
denial Of the right of peaceable as
sembly; that there was not sufficient
proof of guilt against the prison
ers. He went out of his way to
criticise the Judge who presid-
ed over the trial court and the
chief detective who ferreted out the
testimony in the case. This was with
out excuse and positively outrageous.
The awful crime occurred in May, 1886,
more than seven years ago. The trial
was a long one, and on appeal was care
fully reviewed by the Supreme Court
of Illinois. The case was even brought
before the Supreme Court of the
United States. Neither of these high
courts found anything to criticise. The
trial vas really a monument Of justice
and had the desired effect, for there
has been no attempt since then to put
anarchistic ideas in practice, but if
anything could kindle anew the flames
of anarchy it would be the spec
tacle which the Democratic Governor
of Illinois makes of himself in his ar
raignment Of Judge Gary and Detective
Bonfeld. The Inter Ocean says that
the pardon is only a fulfllment of one
of the Governors ante-election prom
ises, and perhaps few, if any, will be
surprised at it. The demagogical argu-
ment, however, with which this social
istic sympathizer promulgates the par
don to the world will astonish many,
and it will not draw friends either for
anarchists or for the Governor from the
rank and file of the American people,
who love their country and believe in
law and order.

COST OF THE CHANGE.
WOEFUL RESULT OF DEMO-
CRATIC SUPREMACY.
Our Condition Before the Presidential
Campaign Was Not Only Prosperous, but
Promising - Disgraces the Nation - A
Tariff Bin OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Reviv-
ing the Dead Past.
Due to Democracy.

Before the late Presidential cam
pa1gn our condition was not only pros
porous but promising. For the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1892, our exports
exceeded our imports by S102, 873, 1856.
Failures were few, banks were sound,
with rare exceptions, and labor had
more employ, at wages better in pro-
portion to costs of living, than ever be-
fore. The campaign came, its result
foreboding change of policy as to in
dustry and finances. AS to industry, a
breaking up of the safeguards of pro-
lection; as to finance, q change from
the former conditions to-nobody knew,
and nobody to-day knows what.
What are the results so far? Our
balance of foreign trade has changed.
We buy more than we sell-a bad thing
for man or nation. Our imports for
twelve months to April l, 1893, exceeded
our exports by $50, 626, 686-a swinging
around from the balance in our favor
in 1892 of S156, 500,372. The Industrial
tide was SO strong and high that it
sweeps on yet, but with om1nous signs
of a coming turn. Employment and
wages are yet good, but with a weak
ening and shrinking tendency. Prudent
men foresee and prepare for free trade
"a preparation which means either
stopping business or work at lower
wages, falling heavily on the workers.
Failures increase, banks crash, stocks
of railroads fall 10 per cent, ''indus-
trials" 81 per cent, by careful esti-
mates. Gold began to flow outward
last November, exports rising to S18,-
0O0,0 in March to $6, 100000 the first
week in June, and free trade plans point
to increased imports Of goods, less en-
ploy at home, and more gold exports.
It may be said that there are no
changes in legislation; the Mckinley
tariff and the Republican fiscal meth
DDS are still in operation. True; but
there is grave doubt and small hope Of
their continuance, and total uncer-
tainty as to what may take their place.
Confidence wanes and paralysis gains.
We hear Of reform, in tariff and finance.
Reform is reconstruction, building new
and better; but it is only destruction
that impends. Down with the tariff;
down with national banks and gold
bags are the cries we hear. But has
President Cleveland, or any Washing
ton official, anything to offer in their
place-any definite plan Of reform?
Until they have, the talk about reform
is nonsense and deceptive folly. How
much has this change, with free trade
for its war cry, cost the nation? Would
$500, 600, 900 be fair approximation to
correct answer? What will it cost in
four years? Wait and see. The work
ingman will have heavy share of that
cost to bear. @The powers that be"
are ready promisers of reform, but
ready only to destroy, lacking power
to reconstruct. Is not the change very
costly?

Poor Fellow.

There is a good, kind-hearted man
in Detroit to whom the telephone is
as red flag to bull. He is nat
urally as mild as la NIB, but when
ever he gets receiver to his ear he
is total depravity exemplified. He
swears, snorts, kicks; the wall, calls
names, says that all men are liars.
and never quits the telephone that
he does not VOW in fervid language
that he will have it taken out before
he sleeps He is particularly violent
in the direct line between his house
and his office No ordinary wires
will carry his messages between these
two points, and the company has just
made the connection with an electric
light wire which carries enough light

to take whirl through the house.
He admits that the new wire is about

State Printer Snow says In his Ottawa
Journal that ''if it were not for the fact
that Bill Higgins went knee-deep in
sculldugery for the republicans, the
Douglass house would never have seen
daylight" This is the kind OF lying
populist papers are doing to cover up
their infamous conduct last winter. In
all the cases in the court there was alb
solutely no proof offered of ''sculldug-
gerry" on the part of the secretary OF
state or of the state board OF canvassers.
In the Haskell county case the board is
sued a certificate to man who was not
elected, but they did it because the
county clerk had made erroneous returns
and because Attorney General Ives, the
populist member of the board, advised
that they had no power to altar the re-
turns. But nobody ever tried to take
advantage of it. Rosenthal. who was
really elected and was promptly seated,
acted all through the session with the
Douglass house. In the Cofey county
case the board decided that there was

I was aroused by something and sat
I'D and looked about me. The calm
continued, and everything was quiet
and so lay down and slept again.
1t was daylight when l awoke
again, and after a wash I got some
biscuit and meat from the pantry and
looked around for my mate. Not
finding him after hunt Of ten min
utes, / knocked at the open cabin
door. Receiving no response, finally
ventured in, and five minutes later /
realized that I was entirely alone
aboard the Josephine. Neither cap
tain nor sailor could be found, nor
was there the slightest clew to tell
me how or why they had disappeared.
1 did not give up until I had searched
every possible place where they could
have hidden away and then ! sat
down and let superstition and terror
take such hold of me for half a day
that I liked to have gone crazy. 1t
was only by calling up all my will

from leaping over the rail.
After several hours, however this
feeling wore of, and l could view the
situation with common sense. was
alone, but was a fat calm, and I
turned into the cabin and slept for
six hours before I opened my eyes.
Then it was to find that evening had
come. and that the brig had been
boarded by a boat from one of the
mail steamers plying between the
big island and New Zealand. My
explanations astOniShed and as
founded the men, and after I had
been taken off to the steamer and
given all the details to the captain,
he took the brig in tow and continued
his course toward Sidney There the
story was told and retold, but with
little satisfaction to anyone. A craft
was sent out in search Of the lost
ydwl and the hulk, but neither could
be found. The general idea at Sid
ney was that the captain and sailor
both got drunk that night and some
how got overheard, but no one could
even uess the calamity which befell
the yawl New York Sun.

Old and Young Clouds,

Does it not seem rather sigular to
speak of the age Of clouds, of old
clouds and young clouds, just as you
would describe plants as being either
young or old? Yet it really appears
that such a distinction can be made,
and the discovery, as so frequently
happens, was based upon preceding
mistake.
Mr.. John Aitken reached the con-
cluSion some years ago that the
density of a cloud was proportional
to the number Of water particles it
contained, the water particles in turn
depending upon the particles of dust
present.
But more recently Mr.. Aitken has
ascertained that his first conclusion
was wrong, and that in many clouds
the density falls far short of proper
tionality with the number of water
particles. Further investigation has
satisfied him that the size of the wa
ter particles with the age of
the cloud.
The clouds upon which his observa-
tiOns were made number of years
ago must, he thinks, have been old
clouds, and in them the water parti-
Giles, being comparatively large, ap-
Feared to be proportional to the
density. But the later observations
were made upon newly-formed or
young clouds, in which the particles
were small in SIZE
Thus the law of growth and de-
velopment, which obtains among Iiv-
ing things, has its expression also
even in The clouds of Heaven.

Twenty Three Rebels.
Manhattan Nationalist,

It is affirmed that this country is
really now run by twenty three rebels.
This may be a strong statement but the
sympathy Of President Cleveland, in his
appointments, has been SO decidedly
with the south that those who not long
ago were trying to destroy the govern
ment have now controlling influence
in its management. And just now this
is bearing very hard upon those who
risked life and lost health in defense of
the government. The bloody shirt that
has been SO often buried has been dug
up at the south and the nations defend
ers are denounced in terms more
emphatic than polite.

A Free Trade Tariff.

Under a Free-Trade tariff, with
duties for revenue only, levied on non
competitive articles, the amount OF
money which is now secured by the
Mckinley tariff could easily be raised.
The sugar duties repealed in 1890, and
the coffee and tea duties repealed in
1872, if reimposed, would in themselves
provide fully IS per cent of the amount
which is required.
The Journal prepared during the
campaign a statement of how the
money required to run the National
Government could be raised in con-
formity with the demands of the Dem
ocratic national platform Consider
the Mckinley tariff law repealed in its
entirety. This simple tariff may be
substituted in its stead, and not only
carry out the Chicago declaration of
the Democracy, but, combined with
the internal revenue taxes, will fur
nish all the money required for the

Although we have handled sheep for
ID years, from this l2-yearOld boy we
learned some things about handling
sheep we did not know before
Among them was how to bring in new
born lambs, have their mothers follow,
ride or lead horse at the same time and
drive III two flocks of sheep. To do this
the little fellow had low box fastened
upon two barrel slaves. which served as
runners. Into the box he put little

An Ingenious Scheme to SuppIant VOtii
nv DallOt.

An Ingenious Scheme to Supplant Voting
by Ballot.
Voting by machine is the latest device
for securing honest elections. 1t has al
ready been tried IN various towns in New
York and Michigan and is pronounced a
success. The New York legislature has le-
galiZed the use of the machine at the OPP
ton of majority of the local election
boards, and some of them have adopted it
for use in local elections. 1t registers and
counts every vote as it is cast and saves the
expense of printing and distributing bal
lots. 1t insures absolute secrecy, thus rem
dering bribery Improbable, and the blind
and illiterate can use it as well as those
who can read. 1t does away with the ne
cessity for counting the votes by register
ing the total number cast and all that the
poll clerks have to do after the election is
over is to copy the figures from the regis
ter, send in the returns and go home.
The machine is a steel cabinet feet
high and feet square at the base. Only
one man Is allowed to enter at time. He
finds himself confronted by several perpen-
dicular lists of names, each party ticket of
different colOr-the Democratic yellow,
the Republican red, the Prohibitionist
blue, the Populst violet, the Labor tic ct
green. These colors are prescribed by law
and cannot be changed, as they are for the
guidance of voters who cannot read. Each
name has a button beside it, and if the
voter wishes to vote a straight party ticket
all he has to do is TIC press all the buttons
