LITERARY NOTES.

Mr.. Edward Stanwood's History OF the
Presidency" tHoughton, Mifflin Col is an
other form of that eminently useful vo,-
ume outlining the History OF Presidential
Elections, which was published in 1881,
and has been much amplified from time TO
time in Its subsequent editions. The pres
ent form has given the author an oppor-
tunity to enrich the whole woIs through
additional notes and a fuller discussion OF
some of the political problems to which
the constitutional provisions regarding the
Presidential office have given rise From
the beginning of the electoral system down
to the free silver campaign. Mr.. Stanwooi
has endeavored in every way to make the
book thoroughly up TO date.

The YOUNGER BOYS.

ST. Pau, Mimi, Feb 10.-War-

Can enjoy his long-cherished desire
to sse the Younger brothers liber
atsd, if bill intr duced in the sen
ate this morning by Senator Wilson
passes, which wss read under title
which does not betray it's full import.
It purpor'ed, as read, to permit the
parole Of prison ers sent to the state
prison on the reformatory plan, but
the gist of the bill was contained in
q provision that any life convict who
had served full 20 years, obeyiug
the rules of the prison, might be
paroled by the board of managers
OF the institution.
The usual rules governing a pa
rolled prisoner would be amended in
this case, so as to permit the pris
oner TO go out of the state, as the
board would have the power to ex-
tend or reduce the geographical
limits of the parole at its will. There
are only three prisoners at the sta e
prison 10 whom the bill, If passed,
could possibly apply new. These
are James and Thomas Coleman
Younger, sent up from Rice county
Nov 20, 1876, for completely in the
famous Northfald bank robbery,
aud Frank Johnson, sent from Hen
nepin county April IL OF the same
year There is already some oppo-
sition to the bill manifest, although
it is urged in it's behalf that it has
in it an element of disciplinary value.
As it is now, life prisoners have no
tear of anything in the prison except
tie club and the dungeon. It is
urged that this law would give thsm
an incentive to good behavior that is
now lacking.
