that every pledge therein made has been in
good faith redeemed.
Valuable reforms have been wrought, use
less offices have been abolished, civil service
has been freed from the debaSing and inju-

Counterfeit Postal Noes.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. 9.
The discovery was made to-day that
counterfeit postal notes were in circulation
this city. Four or five of the spurious
notes were redeemed at the Post-office
before the fraud was discovered. In each
instance the notes called for $40, and
purported to have been issued at Youngs-
town, O.; E. r. Mills, Postmaster. The
Postmaster at that point is George R.
Williams. The paper upon which they are
issued is genuine, and the supposition is
that it has been stolen from either the de-
partment or some Post-off1ce, and after re-
moving the name of the original Office by
acids, then the blank was filled by printing
thereon youngstown, Ohio

rHE BOARD OF PARpoNs.


 It has taken long time to convince the legislature of this State that board of par dons is good thing. For several years 8 few people in various parts of the State have tried to keep up interest in the matter and have done what they could to bring about the desired change. At last it has come, and come. too, through legislature which has not distinguished itself by doing that which ought to be done.
 Connecticut has been for some time tie only State where the pardoning power was exercised by the legislature. In twenty seven States the Governor psrdons. In three the Governor and Senate, in three the Governor and certain other State officials and in three the Governor and council. The bill as passed by the legislature provides that the Governor, judge of the Supreme Court of Errors, to be designated for that purpose by the judges of that court at their annual meeting, and four persons to be appointed by the general assembly, one of whom. shall be physician, shall constitute board of pardons for this State. Provided, that in case judge of the Superior court who is g member of said board of pardons shall have tried case in the Superior court, he shall not act on said board of pardons in the same case, but the chief justice of this State, in such case, shall designate judge of the Su- perior court to act in said case on the board of pardons. The beard thus established must all concur in order to make their judg- ment of communications or releases operative. The members of the board are to receive no compensation for their services, but are to receive for their necessary travelling and oth. CT expenses $5 per day for each and every day actually employed in the duties of the board, and the board will have power to ap- point clerk, who will receive salary of $2CO per annum.
 We have often pointed out why board of pardons would be good thing. AS the Hart ford Times says: It will relieve the legisla- ture of the thankless duty of Investigating 8 dozen petitions for pardons annually; and usually the evidence is ene-sided, backed by lobby influences, and too often pardons are unjustly granted. The board of pardons would be more likely to investigate every case thoroughly, and call for the principal evi- dence on both sides of each case. No i'm proper influences would be permitted, or cer- tainly they ought not to be allowed to come within the hearing of the board of pardons There are cases in which pardon would pro- mote the ends of justice But the great pow CT of granting pardons should be exercised with careful scrutiny in the interest of jus- tice and the public safety. The board of pardons can meet these requirements better than committee of the legislature annually
 
 every occasion, for the peculiar duties which they are called upon to discharge, and who do not feel that they are bound by specific rules or laws and who do not care to spend much time in thorough investigation. The State is to be congratulated oE the passage of this bill. The action of the legislature in this matter will go far towards making it's last days it's best.

Dabbling in politics is 8 very attractive oc- cupation to many, but it does not usually, or
 often, pay. An examination of the record
 of the members of the Pennsylvania legis-
 lature since 1866 has been made, and while
 during these seventeen years 1. .425 different
 men have had seats in the legislature only
 twenty nine, or little more than two per
 cent, have received political promotion.
 Fifteen members of the lower branch of
 Congress and two Senators have come from these hundreds of aspiring legislators. The rest obtained State offices, and eight were beaten after gaining nominations. Supelin- tendent of Insurance McCaH,- of New York, has recently said: I have been fortunate,
 have had opportunities, and am, therefore an exceptional case. But look about. Dur 1 ing the thirteen years have been in office two thousand different young men have l worked in the departments and legislature
 with me. How many have succeeded? You can count them on the fingers of one hand. They become indifferent and lazy, acquire extravagants habits, and lose ambition. When | they are set adrift by changes in politics, they are unsuited for business, and are in many cases human wrecks. The majority have left town in debt, and, when married, | in scores of instances had to borrow money to get their families away. No, no, would
 accept precarious political clerkship.

The Iowa prohibitory amendment has twice been pronounced void by the same court, but the prohibitionists are not dis posed to give up the contest. The Des Moines Register, which has been one of the most earnest advocates of the amendment, and through whose efforts largely the popular majority in it's favor was secured, declares that there are two ways of rectifying the matter Either 8 constitutional conven- ton can be called to incorporate prohibition in the Constitution, or the structure of the court can be changed and the question rear gued The term of one of the dissenting judges expires with this year and another with the close of 1884. With men elected in their places favorable to the constitutionali- ty of the amendment just declared void, it could still be made part of the State's or ganic law.

Some idea of the way Dakota is growing may be gained from an account of the busi- ness done in the land office in Bismarck, which has been established nine years. In the first year, 1874, only twenty-six entries of public land were recorded, and in the five years succeeding the opening of the office the aggregate of entries was only few more than those for recent week. At the present rate it is estimated that the entries for 1883 will reach nearly twenty thousand.
