Governors Power Lost.

Besides making the radical changes in
the criminal practice of the state the
new law practically takes away from the
Governor his pardoning power. The
thought of the prison reformers is that
the Governor ought To refuse TO consider
an application for "a pardon or parole for
any prisoner convicted under tho now
law. Governor Mount has not yet reached
the subject, but those who have discussed
it with him i'm an informal way believe
that nc intends to take advantage of the
relief offered by the law There are now
on file in the Governors Office more than
500 applications for pardons and paroles.
He is bosieged daily by "a score OF relatives
and friends of prisoners who wish TO be
freed.

an Indianapolis dispatch Secretary
Bicknell of the Board of State Charities
says that Indiana, by the enactment of
such "A law, has taken "A long step in ad-
vance of most of her sister states.
The theory of the new law is that the
person, instead of crime, shall be taken
into consideration by the courts. It's first
provision is that whenever any male per-
son over 80 years old shall be tried for any
felony-except treason and murder in the
first degree-the court or jury trying the
case shall ascertain only whether the
person is guilty Since Indiana became
a state the practice has been that juries
(and nearly all persons charged with
crime demand trial by jury should not
only decide whether the person charged
was guilty but also fix the sentence.
The laws of the state against crime all fix
a minimum and "A maximum punishment.
In some instances there is difference of
ten years between the minimum punish
ment and the maximum punishment.
New Form of Sentence.
The Indiana courts, after the taking
effect of this law, will pronounce upon
ever person convicted of crime an indeuer-
inmate sentence, stating in the sentence
the minimum and the maximum limits
fixed by law. For instance, if man is
convicted of crime the minimum punish
ment of which is two years and the maxi
mum IL years, the court will say to the
prisoner: You are sentenced to the
state prison (or TO the reformatory as the
case may be) for n minimum period of
two years and a maximum period of II
years. -
Whether the prisoner shall receive the
minimum term, the maximum term or any
time between the minimum and the max
imum terms will be determined by his
conduct in the prison. Those interested
in prison reform take the view that this
is TO be long step toward making better
men out of convicts and toward reducing
the number of men confined in the penal
institutions.

Crop Condition.

The weather conditions during the
past week have been characterized by
warm days, cool nights, and general
lack of moisture, but on the whole more
favorable for the maturity of crops than
the preceding week. Light frosts oc-
Cured at points in the northeastern
counties early in the week but no ma
terial damage resulted. Rain is badly
needed in all portions of the state for
the maturity of corn and potatoes, as
we'll as for fall ploughing. Grain is now
all in the stack and in the southern and
middle sections threshing is nearing
completion. Grain is turning out we'll
generally better than was expected
both in quality and quantity. Corn has
not made as much progress during the
week as was hoped. The cool nights
and insufficient moisture have retarded
its growth so that from two to four
weeks are still needed to place it beyond
the reach Of frost. In the southern
section the early paintings and the early
varieties are approaching maturity, but
these include only small proportion
Of the crop. Generally the crop is in
good condition but the dry weather will
result to some extent in imperfect fill
ing, especially on the tips of the ears.
Potatoes need rain but even with good
weather the crop will only be fair.
Buckwheat is in good condition and
will require from two to three weeks to
fully ripen. The cranberry crop is re-
ported good. The vines are heavily
loaded, but the fruit is rather uneven
and late, owing to the late spring frosts
and cold weather. Two 10 three weeks
will place them beyond the reach of
frost. Fall ploughing has commenced,
but the soil is verv dry and most farm
ers are waiting for rain before continu-
ing the work.

Sweet and Even Temper.

The most desirable accomplishment
for an American woman is 10 maintain
a sweet and even temper in the home.
Man may or may not crafty his per-
sonal ambitions and not satisfy his pub
lie endeavors; but when the day is done
he longs for the caress of a gentle hand,
the restful beauty of soft eyes beaming
with ,ove, and the affectionate atten-
tons that only a woman can bestow.
GA merry heart doeth good like a med
icine," and the best thing for woman
to know is how to maintain that cheer
fulness of spirit in spite of all the irri-
tations set in her path by that bugbear,
man. The art of spreading domestic
sunshine is the art preservative of Am
erican homes-and the American wo-
man is growing in that art year by year
God bless her!

What the Editor Said.

"Well, my son, said the editor to his
son who wanted wheel, you'll find
one in the front end of that wheel
barrow, and there is big pile of coal
ashes back of the house that will have
to be moved. The handle-bars are of
white ash and are adjustable, SO you
can get any style of hump on that suits
your fancy. 1t is regulated largely by
the load you put on. The bigger the
load the more you have to hump your
self. Be careful and don't mar the
enamel on the frame, and keep the
ball bearings we'll oiled, so they won't
cut into the cones. The tire is abso-
lutely punctureless, SO you won't have
to take pump and repair kit with YOU
By the time you will have removed
that pile of ashes think you will have
made run also the perspiration. You'd
better come in to dinner now."-Ex.

Business Outlook as Reported by
Schwartz, Dupee s Co.

CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 81, 1897.
| The reaction in wheat during the last
week was to be expected after the phe-
nomenally rapid rise from 65 cents to a
dollar. The market is now in a natural
condition and henceforth may be ex-
pected to be governed by crop condi-
tions and demand and supply as they
exist and change from day to day
But, even should wheat not rise per.
manently above the 80 cent range where
the December option now Is, the farm
ers of this country are in a position to
reap almost incalculable benefits from
| the great enhancement already secured
With corn at 80 cents or more per
bushel the immense supplies of that
cereal have value not known for many
day, and the moving to market of so
vast an amount means large increase OF
freight earnings both ways by the rail-
roads, as much of the money obtained
by the farmer for his wheat and corn
crops will be again put out for manu-
factured products, necessities and lux
uries, which must go to him by rail.
This prosperity of the grain belt rail
roads has already set in, every available
car on such lines being now in use.
Their securities have 1isen greatly in
the last two months, in some cases as
much as 80 per cent, and yet their top
price is not thought to have been
reached. 1t is the same with securities
in all forms of incorporated business
enterprise. Schwartz, Dupee q Co.,
whose business embraces stocks and
bonds as well as grain, report that not
only in this country :but in Europe as
we'll there is no doubt in the mind of
finanCiers that the United States is en-
tering upon an era Of good times
There is no longer the feeling of uncer-
tainty as to the financial policy of the
government that obtained last fall when
the question of the presidency was un-
settled, and this has worked wonders
in the way of attracting foreign capital
to this country. Money was never
cheaper in Europe than now, and it is
being attracted here by the good earn
ings and comparatively low prices of
our western railroads. The reaction
from an unnaturally low and turpid
market has come, and our securities in
which capitalists of other nations invest
are again on natural basis, although
not high one.
The grain market was steady today.
Official predictions of dry weather in
the corn belt for the next 36 hours indi-
Gated that no immediate improvement
in that grain was to be expected. All
reports are that for the last week the
drouth has seriously injured corn.
There were practically no acceptances
of bids sent out Saturday night by prom
inent corn houses This indicates that
the farmer has found his corn in a pre-
carious condition, dependent upon i'm
mediate rains to make good crop, and
he does not care to sell at present prices
although they are we'll above those of a
month ago. With such an outlook it
seems certain that present prices will
be maintained and very likely improved
upon.
