PARDONED.

4 pardon was received Yesterday from
Governor Click by F. H. Macke, which
RENTS the fine and costs in his case
something over $4,000 and sends him
forth free man. He was imprisoned
about seven months ago, and has been
made to feel that the prohIbitory law
cannot be violated in this county with
Impunity. The facts in connection with
Macke's conviction and imprisonment
have been frequently stated in this pa
per. The action of Justice Bacheiler,
in fining him 81 300 on thirteen counts
was affirmed by the district court and
the supreme court of the state, and tn e
governor has simply usurped the author
ity of the Judiciary IN this case, as he
has in many others since he started
his pardon mill to running for the ben
eft of the whiskeyites. He has
turned loose one of the mos;
persistent offenders against the law in
the state, but the Republicans of Kansas
have the satisfaction of knowing that q
governor will be elected this fall who
will not SO far forget his duty to the
people and SO demean the dignity of his
position as to use it for the subversion Of
the ends of justice, and the annuiing Of
the laws and constitution of the com
monWeal;h.
