The Pard0ning Power.

HORACE GREELY once refused TO
contribute to church and when asked
his reason for Withholding donation
which might assist in turning sinners
from the broad road that leads to eter-
nal punishment, he said he did not be
lieve enough people went to Eell any
way. We are not sure that all the peo
pie go to the State Prison that deserve
to be sent there, but we have II strong
suspicion that the pardoning power of
the Executive is used too freely in
opening the cell doors of convicts be-
fore the expiration of the time they
were sentenced to remain within the
prison walls. During his brief Guber-
Material career Governor PACHECo
has we believe affixed his signature
to forty-six pardons. There may be
some few cases among these forty-six
deserving of executive clemency, but
the probability is that the Governor
knew but little about the facts con-
nected with the conviction of the men
he has pardoned beyond those set forth
in the petitions for their release and
as they were the work of friends it is
but natural to suppose that the worst
features were kept as much as possi-
BILE in the background. To convicts
being allowed to leave the prison on
terms which enable them to regain
their citizenship no one will offer Sc
Iious objection, but it appears to us
that when man has been guilty Of q
criminal oflense and his guilt has been
established through a fair and impair
tial investigation by a jury Of his peers
his discharge before half the term of
his imprisonment has expired, should
only follow the clear and unmistaka-
BILE setting forth of a strong array of
eXtenuating circumstances. Execu-
tive clemency is ridiculing judiciary
wisdom. The inability of the Cover
nor to say no, is converting the ver-
dict of the jury and the judgment of
the court into farce, Of the forty
six criminals whose Imprisonment
the Governor has shortened, it is al
most certain that forty of them will
find their way back to their old quar-
ters. If pardons made better men OF
those so favored, and induced them to
try and become respectable citizens we
should say, let us have more pardons
But the records do not show that they
do. Is not this branch of the Execu-
tive power being too freely used.

Street Grading.

Our subject is streets and if, in dis
cussing it, we hurt anyone's feelings
We shall of course feel sorry. But JUS
tice must be done though the heavens
fall and oorns are trod upon. Within
the past eight months the taxpayers
of Los Angeles have expended large
sum of money in grading the streets
yet these thoroughfares were, during
the late rains, more difficult to travel
over than the untouched adobe beyond
the city limits. After all the money
and labor spent on Main, Spring and
other streets, this is inexcusable. I'M
perfect judgement has wasted our
money. Who made the discovery
that the red sand of Fort Hill was
good material for street grading? No
body; for the material is worth just
nothing for that purpose. 1t looked
well and operated we'll in dry wealth
er. Ashes or loam would have done
equally good service under like cir
cumstances. But when the rains fell
and the floods came the horses hoofs
soon converted the much boasted Of
red sand paving material into the
thinest quality of slumgullion. One
other point before summing up. The
graded streets are too Nat. There is
not sufficient elevation in the center.
The sidewalk, cutters or top sewers
are useless for the purpose intended,
and they will remain useless until
water falls into the habit of running
up hill. But overlooking fiat streets
and fiatter top sewers, the problem
which is just now puzzling the tax
payers is why so much red sand grad
ing was done before knowledge of
how the material would stand rain.
was obtained. Some one may have
thought Fort Hill sand would make
good grading material and the sand
may have been successfully thrown
into the eyes ofthe Council, but judg-
ment, prudence and a proper regard
for the peoples pockets ought to have
suggested the propriety of trying a

A Dangerous Doctrine.

There is o miserable substitute for
the divine faith of the gospel which
multitudes accept and hold in unright-
eousness. They are told they can be-
lieve in five minutes, sand all will be
right. God will be satisfied and heav-
en- will be theirs, and they conclude if
it is so short and simple matter they
then will be sure of five minutes and a
large margin in their last illness, and
Notwithstanding life of sin, they
will escape hell. Saving faith is made
to consist, not reverently and lovingly
accepting all the truth that we see,
and obeying it, but in believing one
truth and one falsehood, curiously
combined together, viz: Jesus died for
us, which is a fact that almost every
one in christendom believes, and that
His death saves from the wrath of
his father which is not q fact for
God so loved the world that he sent
his only begotten son TO save it.
God is love, and it was his own
infinite love that caused him to
assume humanity that he nigh. a.
ways be "God with us.n The idea OF
believing ones self to heaven presents
very short and easy route, and TO the
mind of all thinking men it gives IL
cense for crime. What the world and
the churches now need, is that old
fashioned stalwart faith of believing
all that God teaches, believing in his
everlasting wisdom, believing that we
must repent, and have ursins remov-
ed by the power of our Saviour, be-
lieving that we must live holy in Or
der to form a heavenly character, and
believing that we cannot please God
without keeping the commandments
and that by keeping the command
ments we can KNOW the truth, and
the truth will make one free, and final
ly that unless we Keep the eleventh
commandments we cannot claim to be
the disciples of Christ, for it is by this
only, that the world can know the
followers of Christ. Whoever keeps
this commandment in its true spirit,
will fulfil all the law. "a new COM
mandment / give unto you, that you
love one another, as l have loved
YOU" If any one wishes to know the
measure of love that is necessary in
order to be a true Christian, just let
them refer to this passage, GAS have
loved you.n
