A MOVEMENT is being made for the
pardon of the Younger brothers who
are under life sentence for self-con-
fessed murder perpetrated in lS76-the
murder of 8 faithful bank officer for
refusing to turn over to them the funds
belonging to the people of Northfield
and vicinity. These red-handed mur-
derers, with a record behind them SO
appalling as to make one sick at heart
in contemplating the fact that such
fendishness can find lodgment in hui
m anity, ride into the quiet village of
Northfield, terrorize the citizens and
attempt to rob bank in broad day,
shoot dead the cashier and seriously
wound clerk in the bank, kill citi-
zen on the street-and now have the eff
frontery to ask for pardon on the
ground of Exemplary citizenship. That
they have conducted themselves con-
formally to prison discipline is moth
ing to their credit-they are not fools.
They know very well that the dungeon
and curtailed comforts and privileges
await the insubordinate. All this mis-
applied and misquoted twaddle about
mercy" is sheerest nonsense. The
scriptural promise of mercy is to the
mercifuL Were the Youngers merci-
ful? Go, ask the widow of the mur-
dered Haywood, or the friends of the
dead Gustafson, or the wounded Bun
kar. Law is ineXorable and knows no
mercy. TO pardon such violations of
it is to bring all lazy into contempt.-
Only by it's rigid enforcement can re-
spect for it be ,engendered and main
tanned. The Youngers, whatever may
be said, would be dangerous citizens
if given their liberty. Doubtless they
would go upon money-coining exhi
bition of themselves, to be heroized
by the weak and the vicious, their BIZ
ographies luridly colored to catch the
dimes, on sale while they were exhib-
iting themselves as monuments TO the
laXity of the enforcement of law. They
are good prisoners, their influence
over their fellow convicts is said to be.
excellent. Nowhere else than in pris-
on can they exert beneficent influence.
Long may they live to do missionary
work in their present field of useful
ness.
LATER. Since the above was writ
ten the Board of Pardons has patient
ly and thoroughly considered their ap-
plication, listened to exhaustive argu-
ment both for and against it, and very
wisely denied it.

WHAT 4 PITY.

A Washington dispatch to the Min
neapolis Journal says:
Those who had the good fortune to
attend the dedication of the First
Minnesota monument at GETTYSBURG
July 2, are still talking about Senat-
or Davis speech. Among his audit
ors were many competent Judges of
such matters, and it was the unani-
nous opinion that the Minnesota
mans speech was one of the finest eff
forts OF the kind ever made by an
American orator. Unlike most me-
mortal speeches, it was really extern
pore. The senator had not made any
preparation whatever, and had not
even memoranda to speak from. But
when he faced the great audience and
saw before him the men who had i'm
mortalized American valOr thirty-
three years before, his inspiration
came to him., Then was delivered one
of the most beautiful and touching as
well as the most stirring orations ever
heard by an American audience. The
genius of the occasion the celebration
commemOrated seemed te enter into
the orator, and his speech was clas-
sic which no man who heard it will
ever forget. Unfortunately it is lost
history. No arrangement had been
made for reporting the senator's
speech. Several short hand men
We're present, but they were so carried
away by the great orators words that
they forgot to take a report of them.
Therefore the greatest speech ever;
made by Minnesota man will never
be printed.
It is unfortunate indeed, for there
are few men who SO admirably COM
blne such intense patriotism with the
marked ability to give it burning ex-
preston as our scholarly senior
senator.

CARPET PRINTING.

When the First Experiments Were Made
BY John Bright.
The printing Of tapestry and velvet
carpets, after being woven in the white,
dates back 30 or more years ago. Old
carpet men will at once recall the fabric
made by John Bright at Rochdale, Eng
land, and how he flooded our country
with his products. Their introduction,
however, was difficult, as they came in
conflict with the productions Of John
Crossley & Sons, then the greatest pro-
ducers Of the original tapestry and vel
vets in the world. The difference, Of
course, between the two productions
was that the Crossleys had the designs
printed, as now, in colors on the warp
before weaving, while that made by
John Bright TAPESTRY had its figures
and colors stamped upon the fabric by
hand after it was woven. The latter
process, however, presented q drugget
effect and lacked the style and accurate
registration Of the Crossley carpets.
They had one thing to commend them
they were very durable. Bright's goods
were first printed with blocks, and, be-
AA6 AAA aO4O sAAANA OA4C0RS exCAx 6S4x0 WAS
large in many countries.
Cylinders or rollers were afterward
used by Bright, the cue being taken
from calico and kindred printing, but
they varied much in their construction.
One Of these, used by an English manu-
facturer, was a very elaborate and ex-
pensive affair. The engraving of the de-
sign upon the cylinder was very Deep
and the colors placed in their proper
places to correspond precisely with the
fabric itself, painted design, contain
ing every color to be employed, being
used as q guide. In fact, the exact COL
oring Of the carpet was placed upon the
cylinder and from it transferred to the
plain fabric. Carpet and

0uSo Aept In Repair BY MusseIss
The byssus, or silky beard, by which
the mussel moors itself to the stone, is
afamiliar object of our sea rocks. 1t is
in its nature like the silk of the silk
worm and exudes in a glutinous thread
from an organ at the base of the foot.
The following is an instance in which
the.mooring Of the mussel was useful to
enect q purpose which human skill
could not accomplish. A large bridge.
with 20 arches, in the town Of Biddeford,
In Devonshire, crosses the Torridge river
near the spot Of its junction with the
Taw.
The tide flows 80 very rapidly here
that it was found impossible to keep the
bridge in repair by means of mortar.
The corporation therefore keeps boats
employed in bringing mussels toit, and
the interstices of the bridge are filed by
hand with these mussels.
1t is supported from being driven
away BY the tide entirely by the strong
threads which these mussels fix to the
stonework, and by an act or grant it il
crime liable to transportation for any
person to remove the mussels unless in
the presence and BY the consent OF the
cooperative trustees. Scottish Nighta

"Around the World In Eighty Dsys"
was romancer's dream only a few years
ago. Around the world in 30 days will
shortly be fact.
The Transsiberian railroad is the kew
to tho 80 day problem, and the road
will be In operation, it is thought, by
1900.
The best possible connections at pres
emit will enable traveller to go around
the world in II days. The average time
is about one-third more. Perhaps the
shortest cut would be this: New York
TO Southampton, Southampton to Brin-
dist, by way Of the Suez canal, Red sea,
etc., to Yokohama; Yokohama to San
Francisco, and thence over the Ameri-
can continent by rail
The itinerary over the Transsiberian
route would be a. follows: New York
to Bremen, days; Bremen to st. Pc
tersburg, ~ days; st. Petersburg to
Vladivostok, 81 days; Vladivostok to
San Francisco. 9 days; San Francisco
to New York, 4 days; total, 80 days.
Siberia lives in the popular mind as q
barren and desolate region. yet it is
rich in possibilities. Coal and iron and
the more precious metals are found
there in abundance. The short summer
is long enough to admit Of q good wheat
yield.
To develop this portion Of its great
domain is one Of the motives that spur
Russia to the most gigantic railroad
feat Of this century.
Nor does she mean that the new road
shall ever serve as path for the in
vader. Other European tracks are stand
ard gauge. The Siberian railroad is sew
eral inches wider, and in case of war no
other nation will be able to switch en-
gines and cars on to the tracks and thus
convey troops to the interior.-Youth's
