bill arose and stated that so far as
he was concerned the bill was killed

not press their motion and thus the.

On April 9th Mr.. Berg moved to

bill was indefinitely postponed, and
despite a storm Of protests as to
bad faith, etc, the motion carried
by vote Of SO to Al, and then on
motion of Mr.. Deming the bill was
Eordered returned to the Governor.
It was returned just FIVE minutes
after the order was given by the
house.
The time for approval or disaproy-
al by the Governor bad expired, by
reason Of the Governor S first action
and the subsequent action and de-
LAY by the house, and the bill be-
came a law by reason Of a constitu-
tional provision.
ItnoW appears, that Mr.. Dobbin S
amendment, intended to prevent the
parole, really had the opposite
effect, because Chief Justice Start
appears to have been unified at

THE YOUNGERS PAROLED.

THE YOUNGERS PAROLED.
The action of the board Of pardons
IN paroling the Younger brothers
Cole and James after a three days
session, last Wednesday, meets
with almost unanimous approval.
There are some who think they
should have remained in prison for
life, but the milk of human kindness
is apparent in the hearts of the ma
jority of Minnesota people, as evi-
denced by the last legislature aud
by the action Of the board OF par
dons, and now the two boys are
breathing free air, subject only to
the parole restrictions which keeps
them in Minnesota and which re-
quires from them a monthly report
of their earnings and expenditures,
and that they remain good citizens
and abstain from the use of intoxi-
cants.
Prior to the meeting of the last
I legislature the board OF pardons had
!. p E. + r I -
no right to parole prisoners under
life. sentence. At that session Mr.
p. G. Deming, a representative from
| Minneapolis, introduced a bill into
the house, providing for a parole
where a prisoner had remained in
side the walls 80 years, good time
to be deducted, thus, making about
III years of actual service. This
measure was championed by Mr..
John G. Sweet, Mr.. T. III. Hillary,
Mr.. w. F. Roberts, Mr.. J. R..
Hickey and Mr. j. Il. Burns,
! Messrs. Deming. Burnsand Roberts
delivering two particularly eloquent
speeches in favor. OF the measure.
Two amendments were finally tackled
onto the bill-one by Mr.. Sherman
is. Smith who was opposed to the
public exhibition of the boys, and
the other by j. Z. Dobbin, who
wanted Ethe board Of pardons to
unanimously concur with the prison
board before the two boys were pa
l5roled. Undoubtedly, Mr.. Dobbin
thought that ibis amendment would
kill the effects of the bill, as it was
believed that Chief Justice Start
would never consent to the parole.
The bill passed the house by a
GOOD majority and shortly after
wards passed the senate, and after
il was enrolled it was sent down to
the governor S office for signature.
On the advice of the attorney-gen
eral the governor withheld his sig
nature on the ground that the bill
was uncons Institutional, by reason of
Iit making the chief justice party
to the parole. The bill was then
recalled by the house and on April
9th All attempt was made to have
the State auditor inserted as one Of
the parole board instead Of the chief
. justice. Auditor Dunn was an ac-
lkylnoWledged friend Of the two boys,
land the opp onents Of the bill would
mot allow that amendment, and the
bill was eventually killed All at.

THE LOVE PARASITE.

Love is no longer an empty sound.
1t is no longer the modern fair ones
jest. No longer does it warm the
turtles nest alone. A California
physician has discovered the bacillus
micrococcus, or love parasite, and
can by incubation make a man or a
woman as lovesick as Romeo or
Juliet. 1t matters not about age.
The aged and the wise succumb to
this influence no less readily than
the young and foolish. The san
yesterday published an accout of the
wedding of Signor Angelantonio,
chancellor of the College of Notaries
in Alatri, Italy. This venerable of
fetal had reached the great age of
100 years. He was inoculated with
the bacillus micrococcus and at once
went acourting. So ardently did he
court that he took the heart of a
young girl of 26 summers by storm.
He married her, and so enthusiastic
did she become and so impressed
with her bridegroom's sprightliness
that she did not hesitate to declare
that she expected they would cele-
brate their golden wedding.-BaHi-

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.

Spirited contests in the Democratic
party leave long trail, to obliterate
which much time is required. This
is patent and incontroyertible fact
evidenced by every election held.
Now certain people in the State are
endeayoring to make it appear that
the present Virginia State Senate is
to be hostile to Governor-elect Mon
tague because Mr.. Swanson, the
choice of majority of that body,
was not elected. 1t is said to be
boldly proclaimed by some of the
most influential members of the State
Senate that that body is b,irg organ
lied this session against the inoom-
ing Montague administration. These
gentlemen point to the railroad and
other committees of the Senate in
support of atheir assertions. The
committee named is made up, they
say, entirely of Swanson men.
The fact that Democrats who
had preferred Mr. Swanson worked
early and late and with all their
heart and soul for Mr.. Montague
after that gentleman secured the
nomination is patent to all, and the
insinuation referred to above is as
absurd as anything well could be-

CAN'T GRASP 1T.

The favorite theory of the origin
of the star that blazed out for rs in
the constellation Perseus in Febru-
AIRY, 1900, is that two great dead or
dying suns rushed together in the
vast and populous yet empty infini-
ties of space and were set on fire by
the stupendous impact. The tele-
scope now reveals strange perturba-
tions there = enormous masses of
molten matter moving about at a
rate that can hardly be less than
1000 miles a second!
No figures which the human mind
can grasp would express the size of
the bodies involved or the extent of
this conhagration. And, most crush
ing of all 10 the imagination of man,
this is so far removed from our tiny
niche In the universe, that, although
light travels more than 10000
miles second, the events of this

TODAY,S SPECIAL DUTY.

We are no great admirer of the
Rev. Charles Pan khurst, of New
York, but be is a man of sense, and
he says some very sensible things.
In a recent. discourse be remarked
that one reason why the better ele-
ments do not ofteuer win in city
elections is that good people get
tired of being good so much sooner
than bad men tire of their iniqnity.
That is true saying. If the
voters tire of being good, if they do
not keep mp lively interest in their
political affairs, be sure that the city's
interests will fall into bad hands
and the city will suffer. 1t is neces-
-s-ry for, che weiI-veios &c .h;------
munity that the voters shall always
take an active part in political mat
ters; attend political meetings, espe-
ciallY nominating conventions, and
more than all that they shall vote at
every election. We cannot afford to
let any election go by default. For
the moral effect of it, if for nothing
else, there should be full vote of
the best citizens at every election

THANKsGIvING DAY.

Thanksgiving Day is not exclu-
sively an American day or custom as
many think, but is older than the
United States or any State thereof;
yes, is older than the discovery of
the New World by Columbus, and
older than the Christian religion it.
self. The day was celebrated by the
Jews in their Feasts of Tabernacles,
later by the English under the name
of Harvest Home feasts; and in New
England where the custom was first
observed in the United States a
number of years before it became
general in the North Atlantic States.
The day was observed in Virginia
about S55, and was first made the oc-
casion of Presidential Thanksgiving

sHYsTERs.

The fact that New York attor-
ney has been disbarred for "unpro-
fessional conduct" has given the
New York Tribune text for an ad-
mirable and timely article upon the
STANDARD of the Bar" "It is a
lamentable fact" says the Tribune,
"that now and then commercialism
and speculate invade the legal
profession sAnd degraae it. sumo
men seem to forget that lawyer is
really an officer of the court, sworn
to seek only justice and equity, but
regard the profession as a mere
money making pursuit in which any
sharp practice is permissible"
The 7ri6une then proceeds to say
that the ancient question of school
debates, els lawyer justifable in
defending man whom he knows to
be guilty?" has never been fully an
swered, but that there can be no jus.
tifcation for lawyer who mis-
leads his client, or deceives the
court, or breaks faith with the op-
posing counsel, or makes himself a
receiver of stolen goods and screen
for thieves"
The Virginia bar has always been
an honor to the State and the repre-
sentative Virginia lawyer has al
ways stood for honesty and integrity
and justice and the highest code of
ethics. This is true to-day of the
great body of Virginia lawyers; yet
it is lamentable fact that there are
shysters in the profession, who are
there for what they can make out of
it by hook and by crook, by stirring
up strife between man and man, by
encouraging damage suits upon every
sort of pretext, with the possible
hope of getting part of the spoils,
and by other such methods which
are disgrace to an honorable pro-
fession.
The Virginia bar owes it as q
duty to itself as we'll as to the Com
monwealth to hunt these shysters
down and drive them out of prac-
tice.-Richmond Times.

WORK FOR. AND TALK FOR
YOUR PAPER:

One growing enemy to the country
newspaper, says Netcspaperdom, is
the officeholding habit, or the would
be office holding habit. 1t has spoiled
the character of many papers. No
editor who is regarding his paper
more as stepping stone TO political
preferment than as sustaining
business can maintain a proper in-
dependence and make his paper the
success that it might otherwise be.
1t is apt to make him follower of
men rather than promoter of ideas.
To make a thorough success of a
newspaper one must forget self. He
must boost his paper rather than
making his paper boost him. The
man should make his paper and not
his paper the man. Our business
will be business if we make it a
business. Hustle for the business

convention of characteristics, con-
tradictions and an amaranthine ag-
gregation of other attributes which
are not alternative.
"She is a mans greatest earthly
blessing and the cause of most of
his misery. She soothes his tired
nerves with the coo of her gentle
voice, but she always has the last
word in every controversy with him
and incidentally about 81 per cent.
of the preceding conversation. She
brings him into the world and a few
years later talks him to death.
"Most of mans trouble is caused
by woman, but SO deftly does she
pile the load on him that whenever
his burden of trouble is lifted he
wanders uneasily about looking for
more; otherwise there would be few
second wives.
"She scorns all advice in the
selection of a husband, but takes two
other women along to help her pick
out a hat. The less actual comfort
