(Mr. Bryan's Paper.)

The Commoner has attained
within six months from date OF
the first issue n circulation OF

never equaled in the history OF
American periodical literature.

national paper devoted to the dis,
cussion of political, economic and
social problems. To the columns
Of The Commoner Mr.. Bryan con-
tributes his best efforts; and his
review of political events as they
arise from time to time can not
fail to interest those who study
public, questions

We have arranged with Mr.
Bryan whereby we can furnish
his paper and THE Press together
for one year for Sl'75. The regu
liar subscription price of the TIVE

NOT LIE SUEUR'S FORT.
The Recent Find ar Prairie Island Was
Work of Mound Builders.
st. Paul Pioneer Press

st. Paul Pioneer Press:
Prof. T. Fl. Lewis, member of
the State Historical society and one of
the oldest archaeologists of the state,
asserted yesterday that the baked clay
which Secretary Warren Upham of the
society recently unearthed on Prairie
Island in the Mississippi river near
Hastings, is not the remains of the
earth used by LIE Sueur, the French
trader and one of the first white men
to set foot in the territory which now
constitutes Minnesota.
Regarding Prof Lewis statement
Secretary Upham said:
"Since Prof Lewis is one of the
most learned psychologists of the state,
having given the early. explorations of
Minnesota twenty years study, I am
forced to accept his statements as true,
in the face of my limited knowledge.
While 1 recede from my statements
that my discoveries related to LIE
Sueur's post, L still maintain that
Prairie island was the first spot in
Minnesota inhabited by white men"
1.-THE Piece of Clay that Secretary
Upham has," said Prof. Lewis, 'are
the remains of hearth or building
of the mound builders times, several
generations before white men visited
this section of North America. LIE
Sueur's fort is located farther up the
island, few hundred feet from where
Secretary Upham made his excava-
tons In 1885 some of the farmers n
Prairie island told me they had plowed
up stones there in the form of house.
Near by are the remains of five other
buildings, which then had not been
explored.
"There is said to be on the other
end of the island another fort, to his
tory unknown. I assume that is one
of Martins posts, trader who was
here in TAO, L think.
another French fort has been To-
Gated in the TOWNSHIP of Dayton, Hen
nepin county, of which nothing, be-
lieve, has ever been said in the news
papers. 1t is the junction between the
Crow and Mississippi rivers. The fort
seemingly occupied triangle, the
buildings being on the sides, with the
short side of the triangle at the juno
ton of the two rivers, which was used
as gateway.
''After Perrot built the first fort on
Lake Pepin in Wisconsin he went
above the falls and built second one.
The only reference in history to this
fort is the statement that when a
courier arrived from Green Bay re-
questing Perrot to report there he was
above the tails of st. Anthony, estab-
fishing fort The remains are too
far from this one post, and were prob
ably occupied by other traders at a
later date -

NOT A CRIME PROMOTER.
Rather Would Parole of Youngers Exert
Influence Against Crime.
Washington Post e.:

Washington Post:
Referring to the paroling of the
Younger brothers, after twenty four
years of confinement in the Minnesota
penitentiary, the Philadelphia Press
says: "Their virtual pardon now will
be encouragement to every criminally
inclined person in the country and an
acknowledgment that robbery and
murder can be committed with COM
parative safety
The Post is not prepared to pass
judgment on the Minnesota authori-
ties in this widely celebrated case.
There is no doubt that life sentence
on those robbers and murderers was
lenient treatment There are a num-
Der of states in which their conviction
would have resulted in their execu-
tion, and no advocate of the death
penalty would have deemed their fate
unmerited. But the Legislature which
enacted the statute under which they
are to be paroled and the authorities
who favor that measure of grace for
them ought to be more competent
judges of the expediency of the course
than any outside parties. 1t is not a
virtual pardon that they receive.
1t is simply a ticket-of-leave permits
sion to go at large during good be-
havior, but to keep within the state s
boundaries.
The Press is unduly apprehensive as
to the influence of the paroling on
''every criminally inclined person in
the country" What is there in the
fate of these two convicts to encourage
men to rob and murder2 1t is the
hope of escaping punishment-of evad
ing detection and conviction-that
encourages criminals. Where is the
man to whom the punishment of those
Youngers- twenty-four years in prison
and a ticket-of leave-would be a
stimulant to murder? We are not sure
that such convicts, going at large
among the people, their history re-
called to their presence, do not exert a
greater influence in preventing others
from following their example than
they would if kept in prison for life.
tThe way of the transgressor is hard"
is the lesson they impart.

THE BARGAIN CRAZE.
Men, 1t is Alleged, Are as Much Ia.
fected as Women.

"This perennial joke about the love
of women for bargains wearies me-,
said a bright business woman the
other day. "With most presumptuous
superiority men charge our sex with
an extravagant zeal for bargains,
but see enough of business men to
assure me that they are just as eager
as women are to get an article at a
few cents less than the usual price.
"Mr. A is generally extravagant
in his personal expenditures, but he
is keen after bargains The other day
he came into our Office wearing an air
of great satisfaction, and his jubila-
tion had no other foundation than the
discovery of street stand where sec
onds' in lead pencil were sold at 2
cents each.
IF you know good pencil when
you see it, he explained. you can
rummage in the pile and pick out 8
and 10 cent pencils at 2 cents each or
three for g.
g And that reminds me of another
bargain. You know the 10 cent cigars
smoker Well, there is little shop
down near the ferry where you can get
them four for a quarter just heard
of the place and ran down there at
lunchtime and filled my pockets.
Great bargain.
Sand would you believe it, that
man, whose transactions run into the
millions, went on telling my employer
of bargains in clothes, stationery,
etc., and Mr. B stopped in the
midst of his estimates on big con-
tract to note addresses and to tell Mr..
A. of bargains he had discovered
in neckwear and shoes and household
supplies.
