TIE ABUSE OF PETITIONS.

When the New York murderer, Balbo,
was awaiting the execution of his sentence,
great efforts were made to convince Gov
ernor Cornell that he ought to commute it.
To this end petitions without number were
circulated, and as usual in such cases there
was no difficulty in procuring as many sig
natures to them as were wanted. The
Governor, however, saw no reason for in
terfering in the case, and so when the time
came Balbo was hanged, and as everybody
now admits, justly. Commenting on this
case the Albany Lac Journal observes i:
1t would be great pity if the safety of
human life depended on the morbid SEN
timentalism, pity and timidity of that
considerable class who send bouquets to
murderers, and sign petitions for COM
mutation in every instance, without
knowing, or having the smallest qualifica-
ton, by nature or education, for know
"ing, right verdict from wrong one. "
The abuse of petitions here referred to is
undoubtedly a serious nuisance and evil.
Practically it amounts to a wanton and for
the most part an ignorant interference
with the course of justice by people who
are without any intelligent comprehen-
sion of the facts, yet whose crude or
mischievous fancies are forthwith ad-
vanced as indicating the "bent of public
"opinion," and used as instrumentalities
for coercing or persuading the Executive
into granting combinations or pardons for
Justly convicted criminals. We have here

HARDLY PRACTICABLE.

The President of the international
League Of Peace and Liberty, whatever
that may be, has proposed to correspond
emit the taking of plebiscite in Alsace
and Lorraine, upon the question whether
the people of those provinces prefer to
remain under the government of France
or Germany. He gravelY advises his
friend, member of the German Parlia-
ment, to propose this measure to Bismarck
a step which the member will probably
think twice before taking. Bismarck and
Germany have had too much trouble in
getting Alsace and Lorraine to allow them
to choose for themselves whether they will
remain German or not, and though the
proposition has some plausibility from
an abstract point OF view, it has nothing
in common with any known theory of
statecraft. When the millennium comes
such plebiscites may perhaps be taken. At
present the world is not sufficiently
etherialized for them.

QUITE A DIFFERENT STORY.

After all the splendor and glory of the
Knights Templar's Chicago celebration
comes the still small voice of one of the
Knights, declaring that the arrangements
made for the California visitors were
abominable 4; that the hotel-keepers 1eeced
them quite ruthlessly; and that in fact
Chicago went III for all the plumber that
could be made out of the affair. We are
disposed to believe that this latest story
may be true, because similar observations
have been made on other occasions Of like
nature. In fact, it is weakness to
which more people than those of Chicago
appear to be liable, and even the scru-
pulously honest folks of Sacramento have
not always escaped calumny. Before,
therefore, we proceed to denounce the
people of Chicago, it may be well to wait
and see how San Francisco will comport
herself when she gets the chance OF
pickings " from thirty or forty thousand
Knights. In other words, it may be in
order to recall the parable of the beam
and the mote

tofore expressed the opinion that the only

tofore expressed the opinion that the only
proper and safe course to follow when such
petitions are brought up, is to disregard
them. Even when they are circulated in
neighborhoods where it may be presumed
that some general comprehension of the
case exists, they are not trustworthy, for
as rule they are looked upon by those
who sign them as irresponsible indorse-
ments of the prayer, and scarcely any one
regards the signing of them as other than
cheap method of bestowipg slight favor,
or an easy way of getting rid of bore. To
say that they represent public opinion is
certainly not admissible, nor would it be
true to assert that even if they did do so
they were entitled to respectful consider
alton. For in the first place it is the
untrustworthiness of public opinion which
has led to the institution of Courts, and
therefore to revert to that element whose
instability and caprice has had to be
escaped from in the interest of the general
good, is to admit that the Courts are even
less trustworthy than the tickle breath
of the irresponsible multitude and if such
a state of things comes to pass in
any country, that country must be far
gone in anarchy. In the second place
these petitions are in. a great many in
stances misunderstood by those who sign
them, and not seldom they are misapplied
by those who procure them; as, for ex-
ample, when petitions which only solicit
Communication of death sentence are
employed as levers to secure free pardon.
The petition in nearly all murder cases is
in the nature of an abuse, and the facility
with which it is signed only serves to show
how necessary well-defned and rigid gov
ernmental restraints continue to be for
the masses of men, and how easily these
masses slip backward towards anarchy
when the least opportunity is afforded
them of repudiating the wholesome re-
straints of the law, and of indulging in
the wantonness of caprice. The crime of
murder is far too grave matter to be TAM
pered with in this way, and if the public
do not realize their responsibilities suf-
ficiently to refrain from lending themselves
to such covert assaults upon justice, it is
the more incumbent upon those who are in
authority to remember the weight of the
obligations they bear to the common,
wealth.
