A petition will Ue presented to
the board Of pardons at their next
meeting for the release of the
Younger boys from Saltwater
prison. The petition will be &C.
companied by all the influence
possible to be procured to secure
O. favorable action. A remons-
trance originating at Mortified,
where the scence Of the tragedy
was, will be presented against
their being released. The strong
est argument in their favor is that
they have been quiet and peaceful
prisoners and are sufficiently pun
ished, also that circumstances
brought them to their positions as
outlaws. The rules Of the prison
require good behavior under pun
ishment for disobedience. 1t they
have been sufficiently punished an
Injustice has been done those who
have been executed and some OF
those now serving life sentences.
There is one now awaiting execu-
ton to tai e place next month
whose case is nearly similar to
that of the Younger brothers, on
ly his was the first offence and
theirs are an unknown number.
They conspired to rob the bank at
Mortified, and through this con-
spiracy peaceful and respected Cit
zens were murdered. Is the state
of Minnesota going to pardon per-
sons who have been outlaws all
their lives and hang another,
young in life, for the first offence?
To pardon criminals OF this char-
acter would be an encouragement
to bank robbers to come to this
state for operation. 10 use the
words Of the Hastings Gazetts, II
the board releases these robbers,
members Of the board should be
put in their places. Such v;gor ::
Gus protest should 60 up from all
over the state that the petition
would not be given moments
consideration. ~. 80 ,.

yer. advocate, and who has gone
down into Mexico to superintend
a mine for his father, says that
before he crossed the Rio Grande
into Mexican territory he changed
his money for Mexican money,
and he received not two dollars
for. one, but two dollars and six
cents for one, which would make
their dollar, that contains more
silver than our silver. dollar does,
worth in our money inst II cents.
How would our free silver friends
like to have their silver money
that they may have on hand shrink
over oce-half in purchasing pow
er while in their possession? We
apprehend that there would be
somewhat Of roar, but that is
Just what Il. would do the moment
this government declared for free
silver at sixteen to one.-Heron

The confirmation Of John Good
now as minister to Shanghai is
being held up and bitterly oppos-
ed. From all reports it would be
pretty rank to have man of his
character represent this govern
ment in foreign country, but it
does not seem reasonable that
President Mckinley should be
censured for making the appoint
as he had evidence of the
efectual labor done by Goodnow
in his behalf. The men to get at
are those who recommended the
appointment.

the poor, was fairly we'll attended,
and the question was thoroughly
discussed. It was the opinion of

that poor: farm, properly man.

HOW ROSES TURNED RED,

There was once a garden where roses
grew,
White as the lilies so fresh and fair;
And they loved the sun, and they loved
the dew.
And loved to swing in the summer air.
But time went along till day was DONE
rhe sun went sleepily down In the West
And the roses cried. as they saw MIN go,
"oh, stay with US, sun, for we love
you bestr'
So there stayed awhile, with the coming
night,
Sweet flashes of light that would sOftiy
press
kiss on the lips OF the roses white,
TIL their leaves blushed red at the
sweet caress.

THE OBJECTION NOT GOOD.

There are people who have objections
TO advertising matter in the columns OF
a newspaper. The ground OF objection
Is that they do not want to read ad-
vertisements. Now this objection Is not
good for oftentimes these advertise
ments convey valuable information.
For instance, how else would the trav-
