SOME REAL "suLL-KgADEDHEss."

II HE MOST LITERAL INSTANCE of a "house
divided against itself" IS reported from the little
town of Elwood, Ind. There two brothers could
not agree IN the division of property left them BIZ their
father It consisted chiefly If frame dwelling which
both wanted Neither would sell at the price offered
BIZ the other and they took it into their fool heads
jhat the only way out OF the difficulty to saw the
house in two. This has been done.
OF the little detail about the structure being
ined doesn't any figure Each brother is satisfied
that he has vindicated" his position, and both pre-
sumabv should be very, very happy. The homely old
expression buheaded,' seems to fit this case better
than any other Men who VIII sacrifice their own inter
ests rather than see another benefited are common
enough IN this world but they rarely carry their OBJ
stinacy to the Elwood point.
Perhaps the fact that Elwood is in the naturcl gas
belt has something to dc with it. They certainly don't
carry prejudice TO such extent anywhere else. How
peacefully the father of these would lie IN his
grave if he knew how much worse than nothing had
become the result of his labor of years. But the
boys don't care. They'll a line fence through the
dsmembered Gomcie and brae about their stamina I'M

HOW 10 IMPROVE tbs sTREErs.

HE SEASON OF BOTTOMLESS STREETS in
the residence districts IS upon US. From now
until the zephyrs of gentle spring blow fragranty
upon the jeed earth may expect the cursng Of the

boy; may expect to encounter the stranded traffic

- he hoped that visitors to Salt Lake viii not go into
the residence portion of the city. If they do they must
conclude chat this is only an oyergrown village of the
antique type.
1t surely isn't necessary for the streets to become
almost impossible quagmres for three four months
OF every year correspondent of The Herald who has
made a study Of the situation offers solution that
feasible At least il might be tried and then if
II Is found to be impTacticabe it could be promptly
abandoned. He proposes utilize the convicts In the
state prison for breaking rock to be used macadamiz
ing the residence streets.
The observer points out that rock could be secured
in unlimited quantities from property owned by the
city the hills east OF the penitentary. 1t might be
run down to the prison ram cars at a nominal cost
and there broken into pieces small enough be used on
the streets from the penitentiary 1t would be possible
20 bring the crushed material the city over street
ear lines aud delivered points where it would do the
most good City prisoners could be used in spreading
It. and The result would be unmeasured benefit to the
community
There wilt be objection to the plan on the ground
that convict labor should never Gene in competition
with free dbor. THIS Is emneny correct but in the SUP
p0sltlhous case laid down free laborng man would
be injured 1t Is manifesty impossible to hurt citi-
zen 5y selling that which he he's not to somebody else
in the present impoverished condition of the city 1t l.
out Of the question to talk of breaking up the rock and
distributing II by free labor. If we wait for that our
residence streets viii be muddy rivers for years to
come.
It does look possible though to accomplish some
good along the line suggested Doubtless an arrange
ment could be made with the state by which the convcs
could be secured for the work at nominal cost With
the rock crushed end brought down to the city the
Test would be easy. Streets which are now practically
closed to travel Outing the winter months would become
passabe at all seasons of the year. and the improved
appearance Of The thoroughfares would than JUS
tify the trifing expenditure.
For months the city prisoners have been employed

improved its appearance and that too without robbing

EvANGELIzING THE SOUTH.
New York SUM-


Vigor has been added to the evagel-
izing work of the Catholic church in
this country by the congress of mis-
sionaries to non Catholics which has
just been held at the Faulist convent
in Winchester, Tenn 1t was the first
congress of the kind ever held in any
country. Bishop ByTne of Nashville
presided over it. Chief among the reso-
lutions adopted was one to found col
lege for the special training of young
men who, when ordained to the priest
hood, will devote themselves to nom
Catholic missionary work. The signifi-
canoe Of this move can be understood
best when it is known that there are
already more than thirty missionaries
TO nOn-CathOlics at work in the United
States and that the number of CONVEX
siOns last year was reckoned al 100 900,
mostly Of the highly educated 6lasses.
The movement has the mos powerful
backing Of mostly all the bishops, from
Cardinal Gibbons down, and is s1s-
tanned IN every possible manner by the
Catholic Missionary union of New York,
an Incorporated body Of which Arch
bishop Corrigan is the president
While the south is in many regards
praisewOrthy for its civic and moral
virtues" said Father DOYLE of the
Paulists, yet it is likewise responsible
for some of the deepest blots on the
good name Of America The prevail
ence Of lynching is but an acute
symptom Of deep and all prevailing So
cial disease. The negro has been under
the influence Of a Christian religion for
many generations, but the crimes that
are committed in some instances out
rival the savagery of darkest Africa.
The Catholic church, which has civil
lied all the nations Of the world with
out any exception, alone can bring him
70 the high estate he is capable of.
The south needs the religion without
and this is found in the
DID, worldwide organization Of the
Catholic church"

RECIPROCITY, REVISION, REPEAL.
(New York WORLDLY

The farmers constitute considerably more than
half the voting strength of the Republican party In
the big western states the farmers practically are the
Republican party.
The demand for revision of the tariff comes from
the Republican farmers especially from the intelligent
progressive Republican farmers Of the almost wholly
agricultural states of the great middle west Their
Is simple and unanswerable.
They point to the discriminating duties against
American farm products enacted in Europe through re-
sentiment against tariff excusiYeness and they de-
mand reciprocity.
They point to the combinations which have extin-
guished competition within the tariff wall and they
demand restoration of competition by judeious low
ering of that wall-that is, they demand revision
They point TO the combination which sells goods
more cheaply abroad than home and as to the tariff
schedules enabling this they demand repeal
This programme appeals to the common sense of
the whole American people. 1t appeals to the self
interest of all of them except the few who profit so
enormously by the tariff niustices It promises fairer
trade at home, wider trade abroad 1t promises to pre-
serve promote and proong prosperity 1t creates an
issue that cannot be befogged.
Before the Republican leaders definitely decide TO
abandon this issue to the Democratic party they would
do well to listen to the voices that are not so potent in
the cloak rooms AMI obbes of the senate as they are
at the polls.

FORGERY AS A SCIENCE.

4 CURIOUS CASE has come up IN Tennessee.

admitted that he guilty, but boosted about it..
Yet the highest in the has declared that he

ID. ". Boyer Is the name of the defendant. He had
killed his father and sent to prison Cor twenty
years. After q small portion of his term had expired
he became tired of confinement and began to plan meth
DDS of escape The easiest that suggested itself
was by means of pardon. How to get the pardon was
the rub.
The circumstances of his ofFepse were peculiarly
aggravated, and Boyer knew quite well that he could
hope for outside assistance. Therefore, with
genius worthy of better cause, he secured pen, ink
and paper and began forging signatures to his appica-
ton for cemency. Every prominent in his county,
the judge who tried him. the jurors who convicted him,
bad apparently signed the papers when they pre-
sented to the board of pardons.
That body, jumping at the conclusion that the sig
natures were genuine were unable resist the appeal
Boyer was given his liberty. He hadn't been outside
the penitentary more than few days when it dis
covered that he had secured his release through fraud
At he arrested but, after months of de-
lay the supreme court of Tennessee decided already
set forth

turned in the channels Of legitimate pursuits but Boyer
couldn't stand prosperity He proceeded forge deeds
and other papers in order get possession Of his faith
ers estate. He has been convicted and sentenced to ten
in prison. 1t Is perhaps hardly necessary to add
that the convict won't be given any writing materials
