ITO say that news is scarce writes the
Parkhurst correspondent Of the Kennebec
(Me.) Journal, sis putting it mild. The
young folks have about all gone away for
the winter, the hired girls have gone home
and hired men have gone to the woods.
There has been no counting, tsttling, no
getting married, or increase in the popula-
ton since election. The peddlers and
preachers have forsaken us the hens won't

is necessary to establish capital punishment.
There are some crimes that the people be-

punishment death. II Kansas would enforce
more thoroughly the laws against crimes for
which ample penalties are already provided
it would help the state u great deal.

ROOSEVELT AND n ..iNNOcENT BEASTS"

AND The
The people of Western commemorative,
more especially those who follow the calling
Of cattle and sheep raising, will be highly ell
tertaincd by u resolution adopted in New En-
gland ccnsuring Governor Roosevelt for need
lessly killing the ''innocent and unoffcnding
animals of the Rockies. This resolution was
adoped by the Forum Society of Phillips An
dover acad:m and runs M follows:
Resolved. That we, the members of the
Society of the Forum, do hereby condemn
the spirit manifested by the Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt in ruthlessly taking the lives OF
innocent and unoffending animals without
provocation and with the sole aim Of crafty
ing a desire for killing, which we do not be.
lieve to be compatible with a truly manly and
and Christian character"
Most states offer bounties for the killing
of wild animals of the kind that the vic,
presedent-elect has been shooting. From the
humanitarian-not to speak of the utilitariar
point of view, the question seems to bs
whether the domestic or wild animal shall be
protected by civilized man..
But aside from the merits of the case. il
the society in question competent to rebuke
Governor Roosevelt even if he were guilty Of
wanton slaughter? II it not the Andovcr a.
cademy that has made a reputation for send
ing to the New England colleges u p~articu-
larly ''successful'' brand Of football players?
A college that countenances the brutal, in
defensible game of campus smuggling can
hardly be taken seriously when it proposes
o humanitarian movement.

the unruly son Of farmer Bybee. Farmer
Bybee, to get even with Hammond, had him
arrested for reading an ''immoral story to

White, the county school commissioner, who,
after hearing the case and after examining
about forty witnesses, dismissed the case
against the teacher and complimented him

PETITIONS.

The committee on criminal jurispru-
dence has reported favorably the bill requir-
ing the publication of all petitions for saloon
licenses in Missouri. Should this bill become
u law it will BE- much more difficult to secure
petitions for saloon licenses in this state.
Such a bill would draw the line very definite
" between the saloon and anti-saloon ele-
ments in every town where an effort was
made to legalize a saloon. 1t is possible but
hardly probable that tile bill will become a
law.
Mrs. Nation has entered upon q very dan
gerous course to SUPPRESS the n%sloOns, joints
and blind tigers in Kansas, but 81 far, the
plan has worked rather disastrously to the
saloons. If county attorneys in Kansas

do there would be no cause for Mrs. M

The passing of resolutions Of sympathy

jefferson City, Jan. 2.-(Spscial.)
The Republican minority in the house scored
a victory to-day which will save the taxpsy-
ers of the state several thousand dollars.
When the various general a~ppropria-
ton bills came up for consideration the com
mittee to which they were referred reported
in favor of increasing the appropriation for
the state department. The democratic ma
jority was in favor of passing the bill sent
back to the house by the committee, but re
preventative .Aydelotte Of Warren. q Repub-
lean, offered an amendment to reduce the
appropriation for the state department $1,000
less than the amount voted by the extrava-
giant assembly Of two years ago.. There wss
opposition to the Aydelott amendment from
I'll parts of the house, not even the democrats
wbo were clamering for u ''liberar' appro-
p%riation for all the departments were COM
PEELED to obey the wishes Of the minority.
As was expected, the source Of the move
ment to save money WAS attacked by the
democrats, and Representative Duncan, Of
st. Joseph, pleaded with his democratic col
leagues to turn down Aydelott's amendment
because the author was "a republican. Speak
er Whitecotton realized that the democrats
would be criticised il the house voted to make
lavish expenditures of the states funds, and
left the chair to speak in favor Of the repub-
lean amendment.
Speaker Whitecotton' said in reply to
Mr.. Duncan:
~ care not for what party or from what
individual "a suggestion comes, if it il right.
l regret that the member from Buchanan Sd
far forgot himself rs to assail the republican
member"
Representative Mabry, of Montgomery
county, u democrat. also lined up with the
minority in opposing the increase, II know
that it il unpopular for n democrat in Mis-
souri, to vote with the minority" he said.
''AlthOugh democrats may ~criticise me ! shall
vote with the re publicans."
The amendment to reduce the appro-
priation was carried by . vote of rs to II.
All of the appropriation bills were pass
ed and reductions were made in other DEPART
ments. BY efforts of republicans assisted by
the speaker, the appropriation for the audi
tors office was reduced 5000, and 5000 was
saved to the fund allowed the commissioner
of public buildings. The total amount saw
81 tbstaxl! err were 81 800 .
Smarting under their defeat the demo-
Gratis who were opposed to the reducing Of
appropriations charged that those who voted
with the republicans did so sorely to strike
back at Secretary of State Sam Cook, who
did everything in his power to reduce the
clerical force. Representative Clay, of Au-
drain, declared in a speech that the demo-
Gratis who supported the republican amend
ment were angry because Cook had made an
effort to keep the clerical force scandal OF
two years ago from being repeated this year.

DUN's REVIEW.

New York, March 29.-Dun's says:
The condition of general business in
most respects is satisfactory. The
dry goods trade, and particularly the
cotton division is gloomy, with further
reductions in prices of staple goods this
week. and the demand failing to in
crease with the shading of quotations,
but from every other department of
business reports are cheerful and the
outlook for a good spring retail turn.
over is encouraging.
Aside from the expected advance in
structural shapes there is comparative
steadiness in iron and steel. The tono
is firm and producers report all recent
sales for early delivery. While exports
of cruder forms are light there is no
diminution in the foreign demand for
bridge material and other finished pro-
ducts.
Prices of boots and shoes are we'll
sustained without any quotable
change. Most lines of leather are
firmly held.
That bottom prices for wool have
been reached at last is evident by thA
growing unwilingness of holders to
make concessions, the greater activity
of dealers and indications that pur
chases for speculation are of consider
able volume. Transactions show ma
terial gain while shipments exceed
those of the proceeding weeks. 1t was
not possible to maintain the small re-
covery last week in raw cotton, and
subsequent reaction established a new
low record for the crop year.
Wheat did not respond to rumors of
damage but found reason for strength
in exports, which were heavy.
