Pardoning Criminals.
New orleans States.

So long as the Board of Pard0ns con-
tinues to recommend to the Governor,
as it is doing all the time, the pardon OF
the worst class of criminals, we can ex-
pect nothing but continuance OF such
acts of violence and blOOdshed as dis
grace the daily records of the police
courts of this city. 1t is with the great
est difficulty that the murderOus assas-
sins, ravishers and thugs who infest the
city can be convicted by such juries as
usually try this class of criminal cases ;
and when they are so convicted they
should be made to suffer the penalty of
the law. Instead of this, however, we
find that after short commencement a
petition goes up to the Governor APP
proved by two or more members of the
Board of PardOns and the criminal is
turned loose upon the community again
to repeat his deeds of violence and COM
nit more crimes.
The pardoning power had been so
much abused by the Governors of the
State, prior to the adoption of the Con-
stitution Of 1879, that the trainers of
that instrument thought to correct the
evil by restricting future Governors in
the exercise of that prerOgative. For
this purpose a Board of Pardons was
created, composed of the Lieutenant
Governor, Attorney General and the
trial judge, the consent of any two being
sufficient to warrant Executive clemen-
cy.
But experience, so far, has demon
strated that this Board is no check
whatever to this dangerous and unWise
practice. On the contrary, the number
of pardons granted at it's instigatiOn is
simply appalling and brings the en-
fOrcement of the criminal laws of the
State into ridicule and makes criminal
trials only so many farces, the heavy
expense of which must be borne by the
people, while they are the victims of
the law breakers violence and criminal
acts.
The responsibility Of this multitude
of pardons and wholesale release of
Jail birds cannot be attached to the
Governor. He has given public notice
that according to his Interpretation of
the law governing the exercise of the
pardoning power he is required to act
under the recommendation of the Board
of PardOns. In other words that he is
without discretion in the matter.
While we do not agree with the Gov
ernor in his Interpretation of the Con-
stitution, yet, since he has decided to be
so governed, it is fair and sufficient no.
tice to the Board of Pardons that the
entire responsibility of granting par
don rest solely with them.
With a Board composed Of three
members the responsibility is necessa-
riIy divided, and cannot be fixed upon
any one of them. Hence it is that so
many recommendations are procured
from the Board, and so many scoun-
drels and rascals escape their well-de-
served punishment.

The Alexandria Rod and Gun Club
propose to holaffeld trials, for pointers
and settlers, on cartridges, during next
January. We presume the trials will
be in the neighborhood Of Alexandria.
There will be two stakes, one for dogs
of all ages and the other for puppies.
According to the national field trial
rules all whelped during the years 1884
and 1885 will be eligible to the latter
stake. The entrance fee is to be five
dollars for each stake. There are to be
three prizes in each stake first, sixty
per cent of the entrance money, second,
forty per cent of the same ; third, some
appropriate article to be selected by the
club or committee. At these trials no
professional trainer will be allowed to
hendle dogs our amateur sRortsmen
therefore will be on an equality, as to
handling the dogs, and the best dogs
will win. All our sportsmen therefore
who have the "best'' dogs, should get
them ready and win the prizes. We
will give further information hereafter.

I
WHERE OUR SODA CONES From
Along the Peruvian coast, stretching
for hundreds of miles, are the famous
beds of nitrate of soda, which purified
is saltpetre. These deposits, more
profitable than silver or guano, were
discovered accidentally by a Vagrant
Englishman, named George Smith, but
were not operated to any extent until
recent years. Now, nitrate having
been found valuable component of a
hundred chemical forms, is in demand
the world over, and millions Of dollars
worth is shipped from the ports along
the coast annually. Before it's value
was fully known, number of far
sighted men located 'claims" after the
fashion in vogue in mining camps
everywhere, and then the government
stepped in and forbade any further pre-
emption. But the original locations
cover enough of the deposit to supply
the market for a century or two, and
to keep up prices they have formed
pool, a monopoly combined, under
which they charge from So to S3 per
cWt. for what costs them about fifteen
cents. There is apparently no limit to
the stuff, the bed stretching up and
down the coast for 300 or 400 miles,

A resident Of Augusta, Ca, has an
oak tree in his yard that is not unlike
others of the oak family in appearance,
but instead of growing regulation
acorns is filed with miniature forma-
tons of singular nature. The usual
cup, which covers half the acorn and
by which it is attached to the limb, is
present, but instead Of being as large
as thimble. is about the size of a pea,
and instead of containing a single nut
or kernel contains four small seeds.
Birds flock to the tree in great numbers
and feast upon these seeds.

The Province of the News.
paper.
Shreveport Times.

Among the readers of every news
paper there are those who feel that it
should be but an organ to voice public
sentiment. This is not our idea.
The newspaper should take the lead
in molding public opinion. 1t should
not be an echo. Its ring rhOuld be
clear, and of its own making. The in
dividuality OF the writer should be
such as to command for his opinions a
fair hearing from all readers. They
may possibly disagree with the views
expressed. They may believe that the
stand taken is unwiSe: but their conf
dence in the papers honesty Of pur-
pose should outweigh any disagree
ment as to matters OF opinion In special
cases.
The first and foremost duty of the
press is to furnish the news; but its
province does not end there. 1t has a
duty and mission to perform toward
the people. 1t is the most powerful
education OF modern times, and It's at
titude should be such as to elevate the
public.
Its moral tone may advance or re-
tarde the great masses, and It's duties
in this respect demand that it be clean.
An immoral cast given to the press Will
work incalculable harm to the cOmrlu-
nifty.
The press of the State is the strongest
factor III it. In the most holly contest
ed campaigns for the rights Of the peo-
pie, and for honest government, no
bower equals that of the press. 1t
makes and nnmakes governments.
How necessary then that clean handed,
bold, honest men should WELD the edi-
torial pen!

THE DEEPEST BoREHoLE.-Thed deep
est horehole in existence, according to
a paper read by Herr Mohs before the
Madgeburg district association of the
Society of German Engineers, is that
reached in borings for coal near the
village of Schladebach, on the railway
between Corbetha and Leipzig, which
have been made for some time in that
locality at the instance Of the Prussian
Mining Department. The depth of this
borehole, which has been driven with
hollow diamond-pointed rock drill
and water flushing, is, 1859 feet. It's
diameter at the bottom is / ,872 inch and
at the surface II inches. Boring opera
tons have been carried on for three
years and half, and sum of $4,000
has been spent in reaching the depth
attained. The temperature in the
lower portion of the borehole was found
to be 48 degrees c., equal to 1854 de-
grees Fahrenhelt.-Iron.

The Archangels of Reform" have
so frequently asserted that the friends
of the State Administration are ia the
minority, that it is about time to refer
to the record. Everybody remembers
that the last gubernatorial convention
was organized upon the basis of the
unanimous report of the committee on
credentials, which was unanimously
adopted by the convention. No reason
able man, therefore, could question the
legitimacy of the convention. Cover
nor McEnery was nominated on the
first ballot by vote of 800 against a
vote of 178 for Governor Nichols.
Hence, if Governor McEnery's majority
of AZ votes is computed on the basis of
one vote in convention for every 200
Democratic votes, which was the basis
of representation, his popular majority
would approximate eight thousand four
hundred votes.-Capitoiian Advocate.
The G.. A. don't inform its readers
how the AZ votes majority were secured,
how much they each cost, etc. We
confidently believe that, they cost not
less than $4,000. How do we estimate {?
