POOR OLD GLYNDON.

William Glyndon is likely to be
pardoned out of the penitentiary at
Fort Madison. This statement doesn't
mean much to the average reader but
it means everything to William Glyn-
don, man forgotten. He has been in
the prison thirtytwo years. He was
80 when he was sent there. When he
is freed, if he succeeds in securing
freedom, he will be past II years old.
Evidence which convicted him appears
TO have been purely circums tantial and
the case is full of doubts which might
be urged in favor of the man who has
lived longer in prison, perhaps than
any other man in this country has ever
done. Had he had friends of influence
or the means to push his case he would
have been freed long ago. He seems
TO have been forgotten like some of
the men who blinked at the sunlight
when the Bastile fell to the revolu-
tionists. Poor old Glyndon.
Like a toad in the solid rock, this
man has existed while the great world
grew about him; simply existed while
the greatest years of the republic, the
narvels of progress We're making in
government, arts, science, and inven-
ton. Some sense of some of this may
have reached him as the change Of
seasons may be suggested to the i'm
prisoned toad. But he has lost all
these years of which he has been no
| part more than the toad in it's crypt
was part of the gladness of the in
Vulnerable summers while they passed
tin the train of the long centuries. And
when he comes out into the sunlight
he will come into a world as strange
as tho he had been by some incanta-
ton transported to a new planet.
What has an airship been to him
who might touch his horizons with his
finger tips and whose armament has
been for lifetime the solid ceiling Of
his cell? What was the war for Cubar
liberty to man who had forgotten IL
. berty and learned the cruel patience Of
} imprisonment? What was progress tt
him who shuddered at the dawn AM
i welcomed darkness as the signal o
another day worn off a hideous future
) And, if this man were innocent as h
! declares and as may be possible, i'm

: been to him. What is the swift PAM
! as the rope tears apart the spinal mar
r row or the momentary shock of tn
5 electric current as it rends life ava
: from the body to the long crucifxio
of thirty-two years?
Whether the man was guilty or nc
justice has been satisfied. Turn {ir
: out. Let him go trembling about tn
t earth for the little time that is lei
i, him. Even II he is guilty to see wl1s
8 linen have done while his life was sus
: pended, to realize what he has lost ths

THE TARIFF ON WHEAT.
TDubuoue CORRESPONDENT

dubuque I1meS-JOurnaLl
A few days ago Representative Scott
of Kansas. having in mind the cor
ner,, in May wheat, introduced a bill
to prohibit trading in futures. Now,
with the same object in view, the
removal of the tariff on wheat, IS cents
a bushel
This is the more practicable plan.
To corner May wheat Patten had to
acquire about 100000 bushels. The
free admission of Canadian wheat to
our market would have made the I'M
dertaking much larger one. 1t is
doubtful that the American specula-
tor would undertake corner If the
success of the operation involved cor
nering Canada's supply as we'll as
our own Anyhow the American wheat
producer doesn't need the protection
1t is the consumer who should appeal
to our sympathy these days.

We do not believe that the average

GIVE THEM A FEVER.
New Method of DISCRIMINATING Rats Is
Being Tried.

New York. Jan. 20.-Under the SUI
pervision of Benjamin Russell, United
States superintendent of warehouses
at this point, experiments are in prog
ress here looking to a solution of the
rat problem, which is a serious one to
warehouse authorities. A warehouse
in Brooklyn has been selected for the
tests and a quantity of virus prepared
by a French scientist is being used. It
is mixed with oatmeal and it is hoped
that the rats will thus be inoculated
and become infected with a fatal few
er.
When the infection is developed
sufficiently the rats will first seek air
and water and this will be followed by
a general exodus. Inasmuch as the
department of agriculture estimates
that the rats cause $3.50 million dam
age in this country annually, the re-
suit of the present experiment is
awaited with interest
