A COLD wave, which will of course be
credited as q stray from this region, has
been frolicking around the east the past
few days. On Sunday, there were eight
inches of snow at Washington, the storm
lasting the entire day. Down in
Texas there was q bowling blizzard, and
several lives are reported lost. Yester-
day, while the winter snow and ice was
melting and running off through Bis
marck drains, and while the sun was SO
coaxingly warm as almost to entice the
green grass and green leaves to come
forth, the residents of Kentucky we're
tramping around in ten inches of snow,
and consoling themselves with the know
ledge that Augusta, Ga. was being RECALLED
with five inches of snow and sleet, while
Baltimore was enduring the worst biz
zard since 1888, and New York was in
the grasp of a cold snap which manifested
no disposition to loosen it's hold.

The refusal Of Judge Brentano to
grant a new trial to Prendergast, the
Chicago assassin is a step in the right
direction in the dealing with such cranks
as Prendergast. His trial was a fair one
and he was given all the opportunity
possible to make out his defense. His
crime was undenied and even now he
does not deny it. He admits it, and
rather glories in it. That it was wrong
that it was a CRIME, he also realizes,
and be knows how serious it was. That
he is a crank is not doubted, but he is a
dangerous crank, and one with sufficient
intellect to distinguishsright from wrong.
A constant mena to society, his being
allowed to live would also inspire other
cranks to emulate his example. 1t is a
serious question, this crank business.
The safety of society renders it imprac-
ticable to discriminate always in favor of
the crank, IN a question of responsibility
or responsibility. A new trial in the
Prendergast case would be altogether
nwiee, and Judge Brentano is to be
commended for o%verruling the motion.

Mr.. F. JAY HAYNES, the official pho

road, has returned to St. Paul after a
ten-day trip to Washington, where he
was successful in renewing his lease, ten
years, as the photographer of the Vel

will leave for the park on March LIST for
a three weeks outing with q camera, and
will gather a full series Of snow scenes
in the park, which are this season un.
usually beautiful and varied. He will
make a specially of scenes in which
buffalo, elk and mountain sheep are live
subjects. During the winter the park
becomes a rendezvous for these animals,
and it is estimated that there are about
$50 buffalo and 5000 to 10000 elk, be.
sides mountain sheep and antelope. On
the sheltered slopes of the range the
animals feed, and as the snow is deem
and crusted it will be possible to get
close to them with a camera, and some
fine views will be obtainable.

EDITOR MoFFET appears not yet
to have gotten over his chagrin at
his defeat for the ~lieutenantcy Of the
Governors guards. 1t would seem the
manlier way to to take his defeat philo-
sophically than to complain of outside
influences and the like. Had Newcomers
majority been small-had che division of
sentiment been SO nearly equal that the
result of election was a matter of doubt
explanation and recrimination might
be in order. But the result proves that
there was at no time any doubt of the
wishes of the militia. Newcomer was
elected by a majority Of nearly two to
one. There was no necessity for any in
huence, even had any one on the out
side been disposed to oppose Mr.. Moffet.

IMMEDIATELY after the refusal of
Judge Brentano to grant Prendergast a
new trial, comes the refusal of Judge
Cullen to grant a certificate of reason
able doubt in the McKane case, and the
estimable John Y. will have to go to
Sing Sing-for a time at least. The two
cases are dissimilar, but the object de-
sired to be attained by the motion in
each case was the same-the Temporary
evasion of the sentence of the court in
the hope of discovering a means to es-
cape it altogether in the interval of sus-
pension. The practices employed to this
end are numerous, and far too numerous.
There are too many quips and quirks
and technicalities employed in courts to.
day, all with the n object of relieving
convicted persons from the sentences
which have been imposed upon them.
In short, there is just a little too much
law. The refusal to grant the motions
in the cases above cited is a good ex-
ample. The effect of more such r~efusals
would be salutary, and the ends of JUS
tice would be better served if it we're
once thoroughly understood that a SEN
tence once imposed should be at once
executed, unless there we're better rea-
sons advanced for delay thar those upon
which many stays are based.

IT is hardly probable that any thing
more than al easy death will come of
the resolution introduced in congress,
and referred to the committee on educa.
ton, for a reform of the present system
of spelling. The trainers of the resolu-
ton want to get down to a more nearly
phonetic basis, claiming that the present
mode of spelling is misleading, contra
dictory and confounding." Be this as it
may, it would be infinitely more difficult
for those who have learned the ways of
spelling now IN vogue to unlearn and
learn over again, than for beginners to
learn under the old system. If the new
system were to be adopted, and the over
tempered citizen should find himself
confronted, on reading his daily news
paper, with the particulars of a "horibl
raj rod axident" or a discussion, of how
much "profut thar il in Wheel" it is
highly probable he would at the next
general election cast at least one ballot
against the persons who voted the re-
form. The old system is too firmly es-
ia blished and we'll recognized to be sup

HENRY CLEws weekly review says that
in Wall street speculative business con
tinues to center principally in the class
of stocks known as 'the industrials."
The continued uncertainty as to what
may be the final status, in the new tariff,
of certain articles which these trusts con
troll naturally gives to this group of
stocks an active speculative interest.
This is especially SO in respect to sugar,
the duty on which still remains unde-
cided. 1t seems to be reasonably sure
that the senate will so strongly favor
some duty on the article that, the house
may consent to it's removal from the free
list; and the best informed opinion in
clines to the expectation that the duty on
raw will finally range around l cent per
pound. The thing on which congress is
likely to differ widely is the duty on the
refined article. The eastern members of
both houses seem to preponderate in
favor of a small protective duty on this
grade, sufficient to prevent im%portations;
and the south also is likely to favor that
course for obvious reasons of interest,
But the west, which grows increasingly
rampant against any form Of protection,
may be expected to oppose any form or
degree of favor to the sugar trust. The
difficulty Of the subcommittee Of the
senate finance committee in reaching a
report is suspected to cover some pos
sibilities of a serious disagreement.
Senators are said to find a much more
positive public hostility to incorporating
the income tax in the Wilson bill than
they expected to encounter; and, in some
quarters, it is deemed possible that the
upper house may venture on the expert
ment of returning the bill to the house
minus that odious and unpopular clause.
The longer the measure remains in the
senate, the greater the danger of mis-
carriage from this is likely to be.
come; for there can be no question that
the public hostility to the tax, through
the whole section from Chicago to Balti-
more and Baltimore to Portland, Me-. is
most bitter and intense, and would alone
suffice to consign to oblivion the party
responsible for the outrage of adopting
such a tax. It remains to be seen what
these clouds on the horizon may be-
token: but Wall street has it's eye upon
them as involving possibilities important
to speculation. In the railroad list, there
Is little new to attraction of either in
vestment or speculation. The scarcity
OF freight is calculated to encourage
cutting of rates." and something of that
KIND is now and then attempted, but On
so small a scale that it does not ap-
probably affect general prices.

ACCORDING to newspaper reports the
'5O0-pound, untamed lion, Wallace" a
terror of his species, and one with three
men and one horse to his credit, escaped
from his cage the other day, into the
midst of a crowded Chicago audience.
Further reports are that he uttered a
roar which made the windows rattle in
their castings, erected the hairs III his
name until they stood nearly on end,
lashed his long tail furiously, and with a
tremendous bound of thirty or forty feet
leapt down into the aisle, and, all the
time roaring and lashing his tail, gazed
about him in search of some person who
might strike his eye favorably, to begin
upon mis- work of destruction. The re-
port sounds we'll in print, but the truth
OF the matter proves "Wallace" to be a
fake of the worst description. He got
out OF his cage, through mortal fear of
his trainer, and he ran into the aisle, and
slcnk along with his tail between his
legs, more frightened than the people
who were bowling with fear, and strug-
CLING to get out of the road. When he
was confronted again by his trainer, he
ran back to his cage, ana inside, howl
ing with fear rather than roaring
with rage. The New York papers were

hon some time ago. A report was cir
culated that he had escaped and killed a
valuable Arabian horse. Investigation
proved that the valuable Arabian steed
was a worn out street car horse, our

different to fresh horse meat that it was
necessary to twist it's tail, poke it in the

other rude things to work the fierce
beast up to a proper frame of mind to
make the attack. Even then it wa ne
cessary to push the poor old horse up
against his bloodthirsty lionship and

n same auInor1ty III Ine report
February, 1893, gives the following:

E. w. BARTON OF Lisbon, is an old
soldier, who has been following with
interest the pension record of the present
administration. Mr.. Barton, like all old
soldiers who responded to the call to
arms, when the union was in danger,
does not relish the stand of the admins.
tration on pension matters, and that the
protested honesty () of purpose of the
department to purge all fraudulent pen
sioners from the rolls is only a thin
veneer to cover their real feelings of dis
like toward those who fought to save
the union, is evident to him. He is out
with a letter to the Lisbon Free Press, in
which he arraigns the head of the de-
partment, and gives, about as it is, the
opinion which old soldiers have of the
n of treating pension claims:
Congress has appropriated 100000 to
pay special agents, and now there are PAS
of these men in the field, which means
Sl,2S0 per day for 1865 days to use up the
amount appropriated to purge the pension
roll-of what? Possibly a few fraudulent
pensioners, whose united pittance for the
rest Of their natural lives would be but
little compared to the expense of maintain
ing these agents. If they really found I'M
worthy pensioners, no one would wish for
a moment to have them retained on the roll
Of honor, but it does not look like a roll OF
honor when the pensions OF 5000 crippled
soldiers have been stopped. If Mr.. Lochren
would work as hard to allow claims now
pending as he does to discontinue those al
ready allowed, nearly all claims would be
settled in a short time. The 100000 al
ready appropriated for special agents
would settle the just claims of
many a deserving soldier, and the
cry of pension fraud would be at an
end. When a soldier furnishes all the
proof asked for, why not allow his claim,
instead of sidetracking it and waiting
thirty years before it is called up to be
passed upon. In an open letter Commits
sl0ner LOchren says there are 100000 old
claims now sidetracked, where the proof is
complete on at least on 14O,O 900; now if this
is so. why don't the commissioner dispose
of this class of claims? If the soldiers are
entitled to these pensions, as the commits
sioner in his report says they are, why
does he not allow them and not wait to see
it death does not rob the veterans of their
dues? Remember, the wal closed nearly
thirty years ago; that these men rendered
their service for their country and their
flag: they left their homes and friends and
marched to their country's call. It
was not for the petty sum Of $1S per
month"; was because the glorious
union was in danger. These men
who saved our glorious flag are fast
passing aWaV: the were Once in the fret
flush Of manhood, but now they are trem-
bling on the brink of eternity and in q few
years will all have passed away; and there
will be no more old soldiers left to rally to

The exceeding low price of horses
which has been marked in the northwest
is general all ver the United States, a
cording to the figures collected by the de
artment of agriculture, given in the re-
port of the statistican, just out. The re-
turns of the number of horses show an
increase of the same in 80 out of the AZ
states and territories, not including Ok
lahoma and the Indian reservation; a de-
creaes in II of, the states and territories.
and a general decrease as compared with
returns of January, 1893, of 125,663-the
total number of horses in January last
year being 16,2O6,8O2 against 16,OS1,1 39,
same date in 1894. An increase is shown
in all the New England and Middle
states, with the exception of New Jersey.
In the southern states decreases have
occurred only in the states of Alabama,
Louisiana and Texas. The western
states present q numerical decrease
in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wis.
consin, Kansas, South Dakota,
and the mountain division-in the
states of Montana, Wyoming, Nevada,
Idaho, and the territory of Utah. The
states of California and Oregon Of the
Pacific slope also show decrease. Prices
have declined in all the states ard ter
ritories excepting Rhode Island and
Idaho. The average range is from $3.50
in New Mexico to $95.43 in Rhode
Island, the average value being $47.83.
In addition to the general depression,
the of the low prices of horses is
attributed to the rapid substitution Of
electrical and other motors in the street
car service of towns and cities.
