THE degree of state legislator is not
very exalted, but yet it is with somewhat
of shock that we see him asked to give
place to a colored fellow-citizen as jury
man. Possibly the colored man was the
better man in the opinion of the counsel
Ter who chose him, or possibly he pre-
ferred him because he did not have any
use for good man; for attorneys with
bad cases are apt to pick out the stupid
est jurymen they can find. We cannot,
therefore, feel that Representative Lam
dis was absolutely degraded by his color
ed fellow citizens elevation over him )
but, nevertheless, it must have been
with peculiar sensations that he gave him
up his chair. Jurymen who are invited
to walk out from the box are apt to do SO
with somewhat sheepish air, as they
realize that they are rejected, and are in
a state of uncertainty as to the cause,
and whether or no it is not some
thing they ought to blush for. Often it
is quite creditable to juror to he cast
out, and we trust that Representative
Lands had an abiding conviction of his
own merit which enabled him to at once
conclude that an intelligent jury was not
wanted when his cOlOred brother was
taken and he was left for otherwise he
must have felt that the great state of
Pennsylvania, of which he was repre-
sentative, and the Republicans of Ian
caster county who had chosen him to
legislate for them, had been severely sat
down upon when his chair was given to
that cOlOred man.

The Dela4are state convention OF
Greenbackers was fzzle-only nine dele
gates being present. Two years ago the
Nationals made good showiug-had a
full convention and polied 1885 votes in
the state out of total of 1866. or 81 per
cent of the vote. This is but another
instance of the rapid dinteeration of the
Greenback party. II shows that they
realize the utter hopelessness of longer
continuing separate organization-that
the only way to beat the Republican party
is to unite with the Democratic party.
There is no possible show for the Nation

In lis scandalous hurry to get the CON-
vict Kemble and his bribery associates
out of Jail, the Pennsylvania Board Of
Pardons stopped at nothing. This Board
is supposed to be governed by certain TO-
flexible rules, drawn In the interest of
Justice:
Notice Of every application for pardon
must be given to the Judge who tried the
case this was not done.
Notice must be given also to the District
Attorney, or attorney who prosecuted the
case. in order that he may be present in
behalf of the Commonwealth; he must be
furnished in advance with the grounds or
reasons on which the application is based.
and no other grounds than those of which
he has been notified must be entertained
by the Board. This was not obeyed,
District Attorney Hollipger, who prose
cuted the bribery cases. says that he was
told on the afternoon of April %. to ap-
pear before the Board at 10 o'clock on
the forenoon of the following day; but the
grounds on which the application was
made were not disclosed to HIM.
Again. no application for pardon must
be considered until il has been. ON file with

rule be relaxed" It was more than re-
Taxed in the case of the convict Kemble
and the others; it was thrown oyerboar

Another rule of the Board of Pardons
provides that no application will be consi.'
dered if presented to any individual mem
Der of the Board. But the application of
the convict Kemble tor a pardon must
have been presented IN advance to Henry
w. Palmer. Attorney General of the State
and member of the Board of Pardons.
for Palmer was not present at the session
of the Board when Kenble's case came
up, and yet his signature appeared on the
recommendation which was Immediately
