wheat for Farm animals.

Elaborate experiments in feeding
wheat to farm animals and swine have
been made this year at the Kansas ex-
pertinent station, and also in other
states Of the corn belt. The experts
conclude that wheat has greater nutri-
tive value than corn, and may be used
either crushed, mixed with oats or.
corn, or in connection with straw In
time OF extreme scarcity

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 1.-Governor Pin
gree wound up his official career last night
with a most generous distribution of par
dons and paroles among the convicts of the
State prisons. Within the present month
Governor Pingree has released over eighty
prisoners, and the number includes many Of
the most noted criminals of the State. Four
life convicts were among the thirty or
more pardoned or paroled yesterday. One
OF these is Charles j. Wright, the million
aire lumberman of Benzie county, who
killed two men in 1889. When the case of
Wright under consideration a few
months ago public feeling in BenZie county
was aroused to such an extent that the
pardon board thought best TO drop the mat
ter. Governor Pingree committed the muir
dererS sentence To seventeen years from
1889 and granted him a parole. Another
noted criminal released is William Repcke,
one of the men convicted or the murder of
Molliter, a wealthy resident of Alpena

Receives the Highest Salary Paid to
Any Railroad Executive i'm America.
Saturday Evening Post.


Saturday Evening Post
Only twelve years ago Mr.. Charles M

Pacific Railroad, held a clerical position.
Now he receives the highest salary paid to
any railroad president in America-prOD-
ably in the world. This is said to be $50, GOO

OF the United States. The popularity of

ables him to command this splendid income.
Is we'll illustrated by certain bunch of old
letters reposing in the pigeonhole of the
desk of an official who was a subordinate
to Mr.. Hays when the latter was general
manager of the Wabash road. Some Of
these epistles are only two or three lines in
length, but not one of them is too short
to contain a sentence of official common
dation of kind calculated to stir the heart
of the most Indifferent subordinate. The
ability to bestow approval with the same
dlscernment and promptness with which he
metes out criticism is held to be the secret
OF his phenomenal success.
His complete demonstration of remark
able abilities for harmoniZing conflicting
interests and attracting a large, popular
and loyal following was made vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Grand
Trunk line. Here he encountered deep
seated prejudice against his Yankee origin
and American methods. From fiagman to
directors the road was stanchly British.
Red tape and officialism were highly devel-
oped in the service. There was not ii is

The Indiana Lynchings.
Journal


Governor Mount, of Indiana, has the large
problem on his hands of how to stop the
lyrching of negroes in that State Some of
the southern counties bordering on the Ohio
river have never permitted negro to set
tie within their limits, and the Governor
might begin his reform by enforcing the
right of any man. whatever his color to
live in any part of Indiana. This should
be a much simpler problem than that of
how TO prevent lynchings. for it is solved
all over the South where whites and blacks
work for the most part in peace and where
race feeling is often acute. The Governor
may favor a law to make the county in
which lynching occurs pay the family Of
the victim heavy damages; but the i'm
practicability of this as well as its Injustice
is obvious on little reflection. In the first
place, assuming that the fact of lynching
is 10 be proved to the satisfaction OF To-
cal jury there would be great difficulty in
securing a verdict on which TO base the
damages, just as IL is now well nigh i'm
possible where a lynching occurs TO ar
raign any OF the murderers. much less to
try and convict them. Again, the ease with
which lynchers from one county can take
their victim into another TO hang him be-
fore the most vigilant sheriff can prevent
would defeat the effect of such a penalty
