Since Gov. Clough went into the par
doning business he seems to have devel-
oped taste for it. The worst kind OF
thugs and thieves that are sent to the
workhouse he readily pardons. He has
already thinned out the penitentiary OF
its inmates The mayor Of st. Paul re-
Gently sent him letter, telling him that
his course was dangerous one to society
that he was permitting men to go free
who have for years given the police all
over the country no end of trouble and
that when finally captured and tried and
sentenced they should be compelled to
serve out their sentences. What does
the governor say to this? Why, that he
had not been sufficiently informed IN the
matter! Think of the chief executive
of the state exercising the greatest power
granted him by. law without knowing
whether he was acting justly or not. The
governor must still think he is on the
raft and rescuing men who have fallen
into the water. .

BURNS lNyiNCIBLE PLUCK
,..Make Work. Was His Precept and II
Dare" His lotto.

'.fdake Work" Was His Precept and IL
Dare" His r1otto.
ssIt is, q mistake to suppose, as many
do, that Burns was altogether given up
to gallantry and carousal," writes Ar
thur Warren in July Ladies' Home
Journal. He was not, and he never pre-
tended to be, an exemplary character.
Whatever he did he did with all his
energy. He was a creature Of emotions
and strong passions. His nature was
undiscplined. The right influences for
the discipline of such a character as his
We're but seldom around him. The in
f1uences he knew were all to severe and
repressive on the one hand, or all too
lax on the other. He was subject to mo-
ments of fiery enthusiasm, and to days
Of acute remorse. But, for all that, he
worked, and worked hard. He used to
say that he could not conceive "a more
notifying picture of human life than
man seeking work. Make work. he
would say, and he made it. = On the
other hand, Burns was honestly touched
by real evidences of devoted living, and
especially among the poor. The old
Scotch habit of family worship always
appealed to him, and he would suffer
no one to make sport of it. There were
some recollections that were sacred to
him through life, and one OF these was
of his father, who as the household
gathered around the ingle would kneel,
saying simply, Let US worship God aud
then, with patriachal grace, read from
the big ha-BibIe' And all this was
something more than a memory for
when Robert had won wide recognition
as poet, and all Scotland was fatter-
ing him, he passed the tedious weeks OF
a long illness in a study Of the Scriptures.
While in one of his dark moods, feeling
that poverty must always be before aim,
he said, But have sturdily withstood
these bnffetings many a hard-labored
day, and still my motto is, 7 Dare1
Burns ever contemplated. with indigna-
ton the inequality of human conditions,
and the contrast between his own world
" circumstances and his intellectual
rank. s He expressed this thought g.
thousand times, in a thousand ways"

continued for a considerable length OF
time. 81 It is a pleasant fact to record,
however, that he disguised the great me-

But this young man White may be Of
respectable parentage and may have ac-
quired the rndiments of what passes for
an education, else he would not be likely
to appear before the public as teacher.
It would be useless to argue with him.
What with him goes for ideas have been
formed-formed at least until his
feathers grow, when he may acquire new
lines of thought. But is it not pity that
such sprout with a calloused brain
should be permitted to insult q decent
audience?
Recently the Colorado Catholic made
this summary of what had been acco1np-
1ished by Catholics, and as 1t fully an
swers the young man in question 1t is
reproduced:
1t is a fact not very we'll known that
Catholics invented the barometer, Their
mometer, stereometer, electrometer, mi
croscope, helioscope, camera obscura and
mariners compass. They also invented
the air pump and diving bell and the
magic lantern. To Catholics we owe
photography accumulation, clocks, arte-
sian wells, spectacles, organs and the
steam engine The planetary movement
of comets was first explained correctly
by Jesuit, Grassi. The first to discover
the SUMS equator was another Jesuit.
Bcscovitch. A Catholic, Torrfcelli, was
the first to discover the gravity Of the air.
Another Catholic, Towinefort, was the
first to group plants into genera. A
Catholic, Bishop Virgilius, discovered the
spherlcity of the EARTH and Jesuit,
Lana, wrote the first book on aerial nav
igation. The "Gregorian Calendar that
is now used is the work Of a pope, and
derives it's name from him. A Catholic
Cabot-discovered the variation Of the
compass, and Jesuit-Grimaldi-di scov-
cred the infection of light, and Galvani,
another Catholic, discovered the electrical
science of galvinism and from him takes
its name. A priest-Abbe Hany-discov-
cred the laws of crystalization.
The young man who is so eager to In
struct the world as to the Catholic church
being the foe of education and progress
should take these facts and ponder over
them. They might awaken in him new
idea if that were possible.

ALTG LD's OBJECT.

The opponents of Altgeld have become
convinced that he cares nothing for free
silver, nor for any other issue now before
the people. His whole object is to get the
people crazy upon some question, and ST.
yer answers that purpose now more read
lily than anything else. As soon as the peo-
pie are crazy enough he VIII swing them all
into anarchy and thus his fond hopes will be
realized fully. So that Altgeid Is going to
capture this country by anarchy and per-
haps turn It into big German beer gar
den. This new idea will give LIS some re-
lief from the fever we were in that the
Jesuits were about to capture it and hand
It over to the Pope. That would have been
very bad-for somebody SO the Alt
geld anarchistic idea is better.
But after Altgeld shall! have captured
the country and parcelled It out among his
anarchistic followers, then what? Ii the
beer garden idea should not met with gen.
eral favor, who knows but what king
might be erected, or-horrors, could it be
pOSS.Dle-a pope, al AueiiSaA Yopo' anu
thus this man Alleged would be the instru-
ment which would relieve the Jesuits OF
the terrible burden imposed upon them OF
taking this country out of the hands OF Its
present owners. But if not a pope, there
would surely be king, or an emperor, and
perhaps Altgeld would himself be chosen
for the exalted position.
These things being possibilities, Alt
geld should be put under restraint 1t is
the majority OF American people who are
under restraint just now.

The Toledo Courier says:

The Catholics need no defense against
the assaults of the A. P. A., and in or
ganizing to repel these attacks they are
lending dignity to their assailants and
encouraging the continuance Of the an
noyance that would soon die out If un-
recognized The A. r. A. was organized
for political purposes. It has no other
aim. no other reason for existence. That
it may not appear entirely purposeless,
it assumes to champion the public
schools. The schools do not require its
support, and if the association is not en-
couraged by active opposition it will
speedily find it's way to that bourne,
