THE PARDONING POWER.

The recent pardon of a murderer bv Gov.
Cullom, of Illinois, on the ground that his
health was so impaired thai longer i'm
pr'sonment would endanger his life, has
called attention anew to the abuses of the
pardoning power that have of late become
so frequent. The criminal in question COM
United most atrocious murder-shot down
public officer while in the discharge of his
duty-and was sentenced to the penitentiary
for period of fourteen years. There was
little doubt in the minds of any person cog
INFANT Of the facts that he ought to have
been hanged. He has been in prison but a
few months, and has already been liberated,
simply because he is in poor health. It is
not infrequently the case that life prisoners
are pardoned on the same ground. and at
least two such felons in Chicago have lived
long enough to commit other murders fully
as atrocious as the ones for which thew
suffered confinement in the first place, We
presume that when iury sem
fences murderer to the penitentiary for life,
is not the intention that he shall remain
there only as long as he remains in good
health, for such sentence would be mock
cry of justice which the law would frown
upon. Yet that is substantially what is
meant, or as our governors seem to inter-
pref the sentence.
The frequency with which criminals ara
turned loose from our prisons to prev upon
society is great evil. Mercy to such men
is an Outrage upon every community. It is
necessary for the protection of honest peo-
pie that those who menace their lives and
their property should be restrained of their
liberty, and the governor who interferes with
the full execution of just and often merci-
full sentence becomes an enemy to mankind
and foe to the public peaoe.
The pardonlng power was given to
tne executives of the several
states tor the purpose of righting wrongs
that might have been committed, for it some
times happens that, through concatenation
OF circumstances, an innocent man NAV he
imprisoned, and evidence may subsequently,
be obtained to clear him of guilt, In such
cases it is eminently proper that executive
clemency should be extended, but in cases
where there is no doubt of the guilt of the
criminal, it is improper that it should he
employed. An energetic protest should be
entered against this practice, for it has
grown to such proportions as to menace
every citizen. There is no use for our police
or ior courts of justice if governors persist
in setting aside verdiots entered, and liberat-
ing desperate men whom it has coat GREAT
trouble to detect and great expense TO con-
vict. The governor of State has no right
to exercise the functions of Judge in mat
ters of such grave concern to the we'll beino
of the community.

Counterf. i,ins Street Railway Tickets.


When person gets to counterfeiting
street railway tickets, he undertakes very
cheap industry. Nevertheless, somebody is
at work at this kind of business in this CITY.
For several days past, when the fare boxes
were opened at night, counterfeit tickets
have been found. In one box ten of these
limitations were discovered. The
bogus tickets are similar in
all respects, casually looked at, with the
regular kind, but can be, for all that, easily
detected. Last night the driver OF No. 5
called party trying to pass one of the
counterfeits to an account, and demanded
genuine fare. The person, young girl,
got on at the corner of Ninth and Locust,
drppped in red slip for her trip, and
was quickly asked to put in the
correct fare, as her ticket WIS
spurious. She hadn't the necessary nicL eli,
and got of, not before declaring she didn't
KIN v her ticket was "no GOOD" When
asked by the driver where she got it, she
made hurried mention about having gotten
it from little boy. Good little boys go
around giving away car tickets-bogus ones
especially. popularity of this small bust
ness is that the attempt to pass these bogus
tickets is never made during the day time,
but after nightfall they are showed in quite
plentifully-and too mostly in lower town.
