sidered to have been sentenced to
the maximum penalty mentioned,
which if applied to the "reforma-
tory PLAN Of Minnesota would
mean the maximum penalty pre-
scribed for the crime charged. By
this mode Of reasoning the parole
power is classed as a pardoning
power
This construction lays the sys-
tenn open to the claim that the Or
iginal sentence is cruel. AS the
offenses for which the "reforma-
tory PLAN is applied are usually
of a minor nature, if these SEN
fences are to be considered as for
the maximum period, they would
easily be construed as at least I'M
usual.
Then again the application of
these penalties to foreign subjects
may be contrary to the treaties
made by the United States. We
need only imagine the ''reforma-
tory SYSTEM applied to an Ameri-
can in a foreign country to hear a
just howl go up.
Considering the number Of men
confined in Minnesota under the
reformatory plan it is surprising
that 1t has not yet been tested by
the Supreme Court of the state.

The Dreyfus case in France is
probably one of the most cele-
brated on record, and the late rev.
Citations are of such a nature as
to threaten the stability Of the gov
eminent Of France.
The reason why the injury and
injustice to an individual is likely
to be followed with such dire con-
sequences is that it begins to ap-
pear probable that the officers of
the court which tried Dreyfus had
guilty knowledge that the prosecu-
ton was mere blind to remove a
man who was possessed of infor-
nation which would endanger the
safety Of a number of high officials.
The popular sentiment against
men who dare to use the machin-
cry Of justice to commit crimes is
not of an uncertain kind.
The publicity Of trials in the
United States to certain extent
prevents this, yet it can be done
and has been done in the past. It
is however not such an easy mat
ter to hoodwink jury, and as Mr..
Choate recently remarked, it is
very seldom that jury is cor
rupt, and if bribery is resorted to
it is usually by the accused.
Let US hope that the parties in
volved in the Dreyfus case will be
speedily brought to justice, and
that the penalty will be the most
severe possible,

The string were mostly thorOughbredS
And Dewey led the van.
A horse that never baked or swerved,
Though riderlesS he ran.
Then there was Schley and Sampson,
A gallant pair of grays,
Who made pretty run for place
Though checked by "bOard" delays.
Bill Shafter carried overweight;
And handsome General Miles,
Who started with handicap
Of war-department wiles.
Some showed best at the quarter
And others at the half,
But in the stretch together
They left old General Staff.
They finished in a canter,
Cheered on by Uncle Sam,
And punched we'll at the finish
General Alger also ran.

WHATS THE UsEl

The newspapers OF the state
must not fail to protest against
turning guilty criminals loose, and
demand a rigid enforcement of the
law. We often hear it said that had
such and such a jury done its duty
there would have been no mob
violence in that particular case.
Unquestionably the frequent ac-
quitals of red-handed murderers
and rank criminals is used as an
excuse by those who take the law
in their own hands, setting it at
defiance, and disgracing the com
munity. 1t is the duty of every
honest journal to cry out against
these evils and to speak plainly
whenever occasion demands, not
withstanding the petty annoyances
that may follow.
What's the use of newspapers
kicking? Why should juries convict
men for their crimes? Does not a
tenderhearted Governor sit up at
Little Rock and pardon an offender
every day in the year? When
Grand Juries, and Prosecuting At
torneys, and the best people in a
community exert themselves to
punish offenders against the law
isn't it a bit dlscouraging to realize
that after all in the eyes of the
Governor of the state they are
prosecuting very worthy but un-
fortunate people? If the Democrat
should publish a list of the blind
tiger criminals who have been turn
ed loose by the Governor the past
two years it would open the eyes of
the people The men who engage
in this nefarlous business are the
very worst enemies of a community,
and the laws of the state have pro-
vided for their punishment. But
they go unpunlshed, except for the
annoyance they experience in get
ting up petitions and journeying to
Little Rock. There are other
classes of offenders who have been
favored by the Governor, and by
several of his predecessors, but we
mention the blind tiger proprietors,
because the newspapers all over
the state have protested against
the favorism shown them by the
head official of the state. Again,
we say, what's the use Helena
World.

The Sultan of Turkey is the most
arrogant of individuals. When a
nation registers a kick at the mis-
behavior of his subjects, he only
says he had nothing to do with it,
aud refuses to make any reparation
whatsoever. The best thing to be
done with him is to dethrone him
and divide his Turkey among the
nations. England will probably get
the breast, Russia the thighs, Ger
many the heart, Italy the feet,
France the head, and America the
gall; but she has enough of that
already. Any old kind of division
will do, so stop is put to his AFRO
gancY.

Mckinley should hurry up the
evacuation of Cuba and be done
with it at once. When we called
off the dogs of war it was the un-
derstanding that whatever the
peace commissioners did, the island
of Cuba was to be given up by
Spain and the evacuation made
complete. Now is the time for
them to be made to understand that
the grass they have been walking
on is no longer their lawn, but be-
longs to others, and that Uncle
Sam desires them to keep of the
same.

Clever swindleing Scheme.

A clever swindling scheme is be-
ing worked by a pair of smart fel-
lows in various parts of the state
One of them goes through the
country on a good bicycle aud when
he strikes a good lively town he
claims to be hard up and offers to
sell the wheel cheap to raise some
money. Boys like bicycles and bite
readily, paying a small piece for a
frst-class wheel. After few days
the other sharper turns up and
claims to be looking for man who
stole his wheel He describes it
well and the owner has to part
with it. The sharpers raise from
500 to $40 a trip and start to

The march of events, says the
Detroit Free Press, is leading the
country away from the home
market theory and nothing that
the old line protectionists can do
can long hold back the nations
progress towards commercial free
dom. If the war had not come the
phenomenal increase in our foreign
trade would haye been enough in
itself to discredit before many years
the theory of shutting out foreign
competition, But the changes
which the war has made in our re-
lations toward the world will hasten
the downfall of a principle which
this vigorous and progressive
country has outgrown. Dingley-
ism is doomed.

that will be done, will be by Amer
lea, and other nations will follow
suit. We now haye the right.ot'

digestion is imperfect, whose liver is

and feel their strength departing.

the above disorders should not cure
themselves with Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. This is a medicine
which whets up the appetite, regr-
lates the bowels, steadies the nerves
and induces sound sleep. Those who
take it fiud that it cures dyspepsia,
and there is no bad taste in the
mouth in the morning, no feeling of
weakness after the days work is
done. 1t is well worth a trial,
