A STRONG effort is being made to
secure the pardon of the Younger
brothers who are serving life SEN
tence for murder and bank robbery,
in the Minnesota penitentiary. 1t
seems to us that the death penalty
would not have been too severe for
those notorious bandits; and as they
escaped that and got a life sentence
they should be made to drink the full
measure of their punishment. Had
the Youngers been poor men, and
without host of wealthy relatives
to work mp sentiment in their favor
the public would never have heard of
an effort being made for their pardon.

UNDER protective system Ameri-
can bicycle manufacturers have been
selling the high grade wheels in this
country for 800, but shipping the
same wheels to England and selling
them there for $50. The English
manufacturers have at last knocked
out this branch of American iniquity
by bringing down the prices of their
home manufactured wheels, so that
the Americans will have their foreign
market cutoff. This will eventually
result in the american made wheels
coming into greater competition at
home, and therefore the prices will be
reduced to the home purchaser.
Given a sufficient time and the high
tariff robbers will ALI cut their own
throats.

COLDER THAN YUKON REGION.
Ninety Degrees Below Zero Marked
Last Year In Siberia.

Last Year In Siberia.
|. There is as yet no positive record of
the lowest range of the thermometer in
the upper Yukon region, but it is safe
to assume that this range extends year
" TO the ~-50-degree or -60-degree
Line. with a not improbable occasional
descent 10 q somewhat lower level. This
would be approximately the low-level
temperature OF the true Arctic regions,
and yet by no means the lowest that
has ever been recorded. Thus Kane. in
his Arctic service. has seen rs de-
grees, and the officers of the British
polar expedition of 1876 recorded an
almost equivalent temperature OF re
degrees. On the other hand, the lowest
registry of Mr.. Peary's thermometer
was only So degrees. Compared with
regions lying TO the further south. the
winter climate of the KlondiRe does
not differ in severity very materially
from that of many parts of the more
thickly inhabited portions of British
America. as Manitoba or Alberta, or
even from Dakota or northern and cen
trail Minnesota. where almost annually
the mercury freezes in ats tube.
While possibly sufficiently low to
meet all the requirements of human
happiness or discomfort. this freezing
cold is yet far from equaling what is
n regular occurrence in many parts of
inhabited Siberia. AT the governmental
town of Yakutsk, which is situated u
short distance without the Arctic realm.
a spirit marking of -75 degrees is nc
i~nfrequent event. and even so degrees
is hardly sufficient to disturb the equa-
nimity of the inhabitants. In the win
ter of 1s94-95 the low record of SO de-
grees was established. At ~Verkojansk,
just beyond the Arctic circle, the Their
mometer in a single day in January,
1896, marked 80 degrees. This is the
lowest natural cold hat has ever been
recorded. but the region which it marks
has long been recognized as one of the
