THE :PETIICOAT EDITOR.

There is a little man, with little
head and big beard, who is publish
ing a newspaperrin Minneapolis called,
we understand, 1.-THE Unprogressive
Age" 1t represents Miss Nancy-ism
in politics, skim-milk in literature
and nothingness in craftsmanship.
Here is recent utterance from his
lead-pencil-a friend sent 1T to US or
we should have remained in happy ig-
norance of its existence:
"Those who, In the Minnesota Leg
islature voted against the resolution
to oppose the Arbitration treaty, find
themselves In good company. We
haue not found a man of any cOnse-
quence In this country who is opposed
to the treaty. Some inch high dis

putable portion of the community.
As we said, no great man is found, at
this age OF the world. opposed to the
principle Of arbitration. Those who
prove by their coarse conservatism,
as exotcs in this century,"
The fellow who wrote that would, if
he had lived in 1860, haye advocated
turning over to some foreign poten-
tate, the question Of whether this
Union should remain one and indivis-
IDLE, or be split up into two or three
hostile fragments. And the foreign
potentate would, of course, have de-
clded in favor Of the secessionists; and
thus the "vulgar methods of war;"
which made Lincoln, Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan immortal, would have
been avoided.
The editor Of the Unprogressive Age
ought to be compelled, by law, to
shave off his hirsute appendage. which
deceives many into the belief that he
may be man, and put on bonnet
and petticoats. But what would the
that event? They would try to raise
boards to differentiate themselves
from such pusillanimous advocates OF
''peace at any price,"
1t is a dreadful thing to have the
form Of humanity and the spirit Of a
sheep.
We are convinced that Dobbyn was
the original hero of the story we have
all heard. of the man whose wife beat
him over the head with broom, I'M
til he took refuge under the bed.
Come out Of that" shouted the
heroic woman, poking him in the ribs
with the broom handle, "Come out
of that"
Never" replied the bold Dobbyn,
II will never come out Of this as long
as have the spirit Of man Left"
And so he avoided ''the vulgar
methods of war;" and the "coarse con.
servatism" of being whacked over the
head by his better four-fifths. He can
say with Hamlet:
Am / coward:
Who calls me villain2 breaks my pate

THE TARIFF.

There was frank witness before
the tariff committee last week. He
represented the American hosiery
company and said that the SO per &c ut
duty now imposed did not afford his
corporation the margin OF profits it
would like to have. "What is want

lis not revenue but prohibition, "they
wanted to keep foreign goods which
came In competition with theirs out
OF the United States altogether. Not
revenue, but prohibition and trusts, is
what the tariff sharks are after

And why not? Ii it is good thing
to put tariff on foreign goods, SO as
to raise their price to the consumers,

Convicts Uncontroliabie.

San Francisco, May 31.-The riotous
coiivicts in the San Quentin penitentiary
caused no serious trouble yesterday, but
they are still defiant and vaguely
threaten that they will yet compel the
authorities to yield to their demands.
During the religious exercises some of
the convicts not implicated in the strike,
but sympathizing with the leaders,
pelted the doors Of the dungeons where
the men on short rations are confined
with potatoes and pieces Of bread. and
In this way managed to give them con-
siderable food before the very eyes of the
keepers. The shouting and hammering
on the doors was continued all day, but
those who approached within hearing
distance were greeted with the vilest
curses. The men declare that they will
never submit to discipline again. and
prison officials are fully aware that 1t
will be a difficult task to restore tran
guilty. Warden Hale declares that
there is no foundation for the COM
plants regarding the quality OF food
served. He thinks this charge is merely
q pretext for the convicts refusing to
work in the jute mills, and positively de-
clares that having quelled the first out
breaks he Is now master Of the situation.

Montpelier. VT. May 31.-It now seems
possible that Mildred Brewster, who
killed Annie Wheeler because Of jeal-
ousy, may recover, though she has 32-
calibre bullet In her brain. Drs. Chand-
Ter and MCGUIRE tried to remove the
bullet. but failed to find 1t. Miss Brews-
ter, however, has grown stronger and
regained consciousness.
She was asked DIR. Chandler IL she re.
membered what she did, and she replied
''yes, and inquired IL Annie Wheeler was
alive. When told she was not, she
closed her eyes, but said nothing. The
doctor asked her IL she still wanted tc
die and she said she did. The hospital
authorities allow no one but the doctors
and her father to see her.
Wesley Brewster, her father, is much
distressed over the affair, and hopes his
daughter will die, as the disgrace would
be less than IL she lived. He believes
his daughter was insane or she woult

Sacramento, May 3l.-Theodore Dur

from next Friday. Governor Budd last
evening telephoned that much In effect
to Warden Hale Of San Quentin, at the

after telephoning this message to War

closed carriage, to the depot, where he
took the train for San Francisco. Not
withstanding the fact that the governor
has made known his decision, and that
the telephone message has leaked out.
the same secrecy Is being maintained
regarding the statement which the gov
ernor has prepared, and this statement
will not be given out until this afternoon.

Even then they will not be allowed to
become acting postmasters, on account
of the legal declaration that contracts

MR.. CLEvELAND'S THOUGHTS.

In his message concerning the Veto
ing Of the immigration bill, ex-President
Cleveland said: AN unfortunate con-
dition is certainly presented when any
who are willing to labor are unemploy-
ed" We are glad that Mr.. Cleveland
has q realizing sense of the misfortune
OF unemployed labor. 1t is u new thing
for him to think anything about labor
or its needs. While the feeling lasts, we
hope ne will mediate on what has caused
this unfortunate condition." All who
were willing to labor in 1891 anu 1892
were employed. 1t was only when Mr..
Cleveland was elected to the presidency.
and the country looked forward to the
adoption Of his misunderstanding policy
Of free trade, that any who were willing
o work could not find employment. This
may not be pleasant thinking for Mr..
Cleveland. but it is the truth. II Mr..
Cleveland is sincerely troubled by this
"unfortunate condition for which he Is
responsible he may take comfort. The
end OF that condition is near. 1t was
to end 1t that the voters elected Major

tective tariff, to be their president
