.nsiyc intrusion upon the public.

Judge Murray, Of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a
lew days ago, in sentencing confessed poison
er to imprisonment for life, said Il am induc-
ed to think and believe that the universal prac-
tice Of pardoning criminals, so common in these
days, is one of the incentives To the commission
Of crime. iuasmuch as criminals arc led to ex-
pect brief incarceration There is 10 doubt
Of it. \ criminal nowadays calculates the
chances Of conviction BY a jury, and the chances
of pardon even if he should be convicted Aud,
it may be said: that the ''pardoning process Is
in reality almost universal No doubt there are
cases where the interposition of executive
clemency is wise and judicious. We are,
heaven knows, no advocate for iuhumanity. Our
feelings are all the other way. Where justice
can I've 1uoperly tempered with mercy. lct the
criminal have the benefit Of mercy. But, So
