"A Farmer" in the Lawrence Herald, at
tempts 10 answer Congressman Haskelrs tariff
arguments. He is about as much farmer as
are but in the garb of a farmer, he thinks
he can fool somebody. There is one noticeable
feature in his effort that may be seen in every
attempt to bolster up free trade. Its arguments
are wholly quotations from British free trade
writers. 1t is impossible for man TO preach
free trade in America, without using the con-
deuned ammunition that the British manufae
turers who are bent upon making America trib-
ntary to them, have sent over for their allies to

sWoRS To ORET THE LAWS The prohibition
papers, concerning Gov. Clicks commit alton of
the sentence of saloon keeper in Wabaunsee
County, have great deal to say about the Gov
ernor nullifying the laws he took an oath to
support Judge John Martini apparently with
an eye to currying favors with the prohibition
lists, is very zealous in whoopng up liquor cases.
and in imposing excessive penalties upon those
convicted. That is all right; he is a faithful
and upright officer, enforcing the laws he is
sworn to administer. Bat Gov. Click, in the
exercise of his lawful powes, ahates the sentence,
to bring il within the bounds Of reason this is
violating the law he has sworn to execute.
There is vast deal Of fonl wind expended on
this business of violating oaths to execute the
laws. In the eyes Of the prohibitionists, there
is but law that it is a sin TO violate and ali
others rust be snbordinated to this. The law
gives Judse the right to pass sentence on 4
man convicted of an offence; and the law gives
the Governor the power to commute sentence,
To pardon the man sentenced. Judge Mar
tin has right under the law, to sentence a
man to pay fine of $500 and to go to Jail for
80 days, Gov. Click has As much right. under
the law, to commute the sentence 10 so and -
days There is 10 doubt that he has snch pow
er, under the law. Where, then, has he violated
the law, ia committing the sentence, more than
Judge Martin did, in passing il Whatever the
Governor does, that the law empowers him to
do, he can do without violating his oath to exc
cute the laws. He is a. much entitled to his in
dividuaI views to the justice Of a sentence, as
is the man who passes the sentence. The Gov
ernor can pardon murderer, or highwayman,
OF any other criminal, aud set him free, if he
sees good ground for it. The law gives him this
right, and in exercising it, he does not violate
his oath 10 execute the laws. This is one of the
laws, and he has right to his choice, when
laws conflict. The trouble is, he violates the
high-toned notions of the prohibitionists and
they imagine that this is violation of his oath
