MR.. ALTGELD AND PARDONs.

The incident in his life that gave the
late Governor Altgeld more odium and
made people distrust him more than any
other act was the pardon of the anar-
chists. There was much division of Opin-
ion among the members of the bar as to
whether upon the evidence they ought to
have been convicted, but there was no
doubt that they were morally guilty at
least of melting murder. Here is story
with reference to that much discussed
pardon taken from an exchange
1T is related that when a delegation
of ministers of various churches called
on Governor Altgeld, shortly after his
pardon of the anarchists, Fielden.
Schwab and Neebe, and objected to his
act, he took out of a drawer a document
which, he said, would show that the par
don was not only based on a sense of
justice. but was requested by many of
the most influential men in Illinois. And
to that petition for the pardon of the
three men were Inscribed the signatures
of the president of every railroad, save
one, running into Chicago, and of the
president of every national and State
bank in that city. And it was presented
to him by Lyman j. Gage, president of
the. First National Bank of Chicago, who
was but recently Secretary of the Treas
ury.'
Later on, when he was assailed, some
of the very men who urged the pardon,
were foremost in denouncing him as a
dangerous man" and some of them
profited by his political defeat.
This story teaches that Governors
should weigh carefully petitions for par
deRs.

The news from Washington is that Mr..
Hanna will make the race for the Presi-
Dental nomination with Mr.. Roosevelt.
There was never any love lost between
them and the contest will not be with
out bitterness. The contest for the
Southern vote bids, fair to be spirited,
and the, price of delegates will go up to
the old high figure that prevailed when
Sherman and Alger were eontesting for
the nomination.

There is report that Bourke Cochran

are getting together" sure enough and
il begins to look like New York will be

war, was only $4,000 and it was only 49,

The Palladium with characteristic
misstatement of facts says that the
cost of the present term of court has
been in the neighborhood of $1O,OO0,
and that SO far no conviction has been
secured ON the criminal calendar. This
is meant for an attack on MI. Allen,
the present states attorney. AS q
matter of fact the expense of the pres
emit term will not be half the sum
named by the Palladium, and up 10
date there has been only one acquittal,
jeff May. More than half of the while
expense of court vas caused by the
difficulty in obtaining a jury in that
case. There have been six cases
moved for trial, two resulting in dis
agreements. Liquor cases, three convic-
tions, of which one entered a plea of
guilty, and one acquittal, May. TIE
Palladium's disregard of truth and
fairness is still evident.

When a man lis belted over the head
with a billiard cue with such force as
t. break the cue and lay the injured

a verdict of simple ASSAULT is rather
stretching the limit to lay the verdict
at the door of the states attorney.
-Juries fix the degree of crimes, and if
they go UNPUBLISHED or in~suficiently
punished, the states attorney, having
done his duty, is not responsible. The
Palladium crows gleefully over the
fact that there were few convictions
at the recent term of court. Possibly
those people who remember the Pal
ladium's verdict of guilty in the May
case, rendered last January, and now

CLAIM CONTESTS.

CLERKS, TEACHERS, TYPEWRIT-
ERS AND OTHERS WILL FAIL
TO HOLD THEIR CLAIMS IF CON
TESTED.
Col. Ioumsbemy, of Fargo, special
agent Of the general landofice. was in.
Jamestown, says the Alert, On route
north to look up some matters con-
nected with the alleged failure Of
parties to conform to the government
land laws i'm the state.
The land department is receiving
more complaints than ever before from
actual settlers IN this state about the
manner i'm which the laws are being
complied with by many parties who
have filed on CLAIMS and are not living
up to the legal requirements. Clerks,
teachers, typewriters and others who
expect to get title to claims by simply
filing on the lands and not living Oh
the claims as the law requires, will
make mistakes and suffer loss. Col.
Lounsberry has six cases of this kind
for hearing in the near future and new
contests are being filed every day.
Some of the cases are in Foster. Wells
and Stutsman counties. only two in the
last named county, however.
Actual settlers r making the most
protests about the unfair and ifregrl-
lar way that many claims are being
held. The department is sustaining
these protests by a more rigid enforce
ment CT the laws and Col. L~ounsberry
says that it will be practically impos-
sible for any eff the claimants who are
not complying with the Laws to get
patents. In several cases patents is
sued have been cancelled after contest.
The number of contests are increasing,
proofs are easy to contest and may be
contested at any time before the pat
nets are issued. Col. Lounsberry's
advice to parties who want to file on
claims is not to do sc without intend

with the law. Actual settlers kick OH
these s.hobo proofs as they are called,
because the parties do little or nothing
to Improve the lands while the actual
settler, living on his claim, and work
ing it lis raising the value OF some
other land. The settler also wants
neighbors and the lands occupied by
families who will help pay school taxes
and assist in developing the country.
The hearing ON these cases are com
ing UP all the time and the special
agent is kept busy before the various
Land offices in the state and in inyesti.
eating charges of failure to comply
with the laws. The contests are from
all over the state east as we'll as ives

value of North Dakota land is rapid,
rising in the estimation Of the farm,
less farmer and the landless stock
man.

Adjusting Glass Globes.

In fitting on globes it is a common
error to screw them on to the gas
fixture as tightly al possible. This is
a grave error, for if the globe has not
room to expand it will surely break
when the gas is lighted and the glass
becomes hot. Many mysterious break
ages are due to too tight screws.
