worl, for Gov. Cleveland.

There are, doubtless, g great many bad
men in the public service. 1t would be
STRANGE if there were not. Even If those
who make appointments were more care
ful than they are they would not succeed
in keeping worthless, incompetent and
even thoroughly bad men out OF ONCE.
It is not always easy to show an appi-
eant,s unfitness although it may be sus-
peeted. Influential public men insist
upon pensioning their henchmen on the
government. and vehemently deny any
charges that may be brought against
them. However bad a man may be he
can nearly always find indorsers II ne Is
bright and smart. This man Barker, who
made charges against the First Comp
trolIer Of the Treasury, and excited quite
a sensation. is, according to the testi-
monv brought out by the Springer Com
mittee. about as bad as men get
to be and keep out of prison.
He got a very responsible place IN the
Treasury Department, however, and when
his recommendations were examined II
was found that very prominent men, VINO
knew his character we'll, had Youched Tor
him as an honest and competent man.
The impression is that he came very near
getting large sum out of the Treasury
unlawfully.
A day or two ago a Washington paper
accused a clerk in the War Department
of having embezzled $4,000. The clerk,
however, still holds his place. The same
paper calls attention to the recent APP
psIntment of H. d. Norton as an inspector
Of the Post Office Department, and says
that he was removed 'during the reign of
the star route thieves" from the position
Of the chief of the finance division of the
post office because the prosecutors Of Dor
sew. Brady and others became convinced
that he was a sympathizer with the star
route gang.
There is no use to call attention to the
number of thieves who have been caught
lately in the departments. They and
their wrongful acts are still fresh in the
public mind.
Clearly, Gov. Cleveland will have good
deal of work to dom the way of making
removals. He ought to give his attention
Immediately after his inauguration to
those who are known to have bad reputa-
tons. He ought not to grant them any
grace whatever. There are a good many,
doubtless, who think they are protected
by the civil .serviee law who will find
that there will be vacancies in the places
they occupy soon after March 4.

There appear to be a good many peo-
nIe who look upon the Governor as a KIM
of court of appeal, higher than the ou-
nreme Court of the State, and who regard
a pardon as an Overruling or setting ASIDE
of the verdict or judgment OF the court IN
which a prisoner Is tried and convicted
This is not A correct view of the matter,
although pardons are sometimes granted
because from some peculiar eireum-
stance full Justice had not been done Ihe
Drisoper on the trial of his case.
So far as human laws are concerned
the pardoning power is usually conieIleu
on the Chief Executive OF the o'aUe u .,
country. "a pardon is an act oil grace,
sovs chief Justice Marshall, "WnlcD'
nrocaadinr from the power entrusted Win
r. o,-oontion of the laws, eXempts the
i-J,ridpaI on whom it is bestowed from
ere punishment which the law infilcts Ior
= crime which he has committed" Inc
yranting Of pardons is not regulaleu Dy
anv special laws, nor can IL De- Du'
