"District Assemblies Nos. lOl, 93 and
Gould's Opinion Of the Knights.


New York Times.
Mr.. Gould yesterday said: 'The strike on our
railroads is practically over It's backbone is
broken. It will be thing Of the past very soon.
. have been astonished at much of the revela-
tion that has come through these recent disturb
ances, but nothing has been so surprising as the
proof that have had of the weakness Of the
Knights of Labor. They have no such organ
ization as I had supposed. Their demonstra-
tions and assertions had led me to be-
lieve them not only formidable, but practically
unconquerable. Recent history has proved
this idea all false. They are not strong. they
are weak. They are not the sort Of an organiza
tion that wins victories They are not what
they led the public to believe them to be; they
are readily overcome. So great was my appre-
hension as to the strength of the Knights of
Labor, and SO great was my fear of what might
come from fight made by them. that for over
year We have been carrying hundreds of men
on the Missouri Pacific payroll, for whom we
really had no need; we were paying them their
wages only because We were apprehensive of an
extreme emergency to follow strike by the
Knights Now, we find that the money spent In
this way was practically wasted. We bad no
such things to fear as we anticipated. Up to
this time we have taken back just twenty five
men who have been active in the strike troubles
at st. Louis We can get all the men we want
without having to call upon single one Of the
strikers. Labor, in fact, is ovsrabtndant in all
the strike districts. The Missouri Pacific COM
pany has applications on file from thousands of
men anxious to enter its service. There is no
lack anywhere of material for train men,"

JUSTICE HAS HAD HER DUE.
A Counterfeiter Who Mutilated His Hands
After Being Imprisoned for Many Years.

Washington Letter.
One branch Of the Presidents duties that is
seldom noticed has relation to the pardon of
criminals. There are thousands of prisoners
sentenced by the federal courts in different
parts of the country, and the President is
the only person who can pardon them.
Always a considerable number of petitions
are before him. and ne usually devotes an
one in twenty who applies is pardoned but every
case is considered. The papers first go to the
Attorney general. who has clerk who files them
away, writes to the judge and district attorney
in whose jurisdiction the man was sentenced for
their views, and then makes brief If the At
korney general thinks the case is worthy one he
indorses it over to the President, and without
that Endorsement none go to the White House.
Mr.. Garland is not ready with this recommends
ton in many cases, and the Presidents table is
not loaded And he is very careful about grant
ing pardons But he has case now before him
that certainly does appeal to ones feelings.
Nearly eighteen years ago, one of the most ex-
pert counterfeiters in this country was found
guilty He was young man. and at the time
considered among the best engravers in this
country. He was convicted on two counts, and
sentenced to seventeen years on each one. His
wife had recently married him, and some time
lfter he went to prison little girl was horn.
With the child, the mother went to live in
quiet town near the penitentiary where the
father was confined As she grew into girlhood
and womanhood the girl was taught that her
father had gone to sea years before, and had
been given up for lost. She never knew that
within few miles he was imprisoned and that
her mother visited him there every month. The
seventeen long years elapsed, and the man is in
middle life. He had believed that the two SEN
tences were running together, and was planning
for his release. But when the time came
he was told that he had then the sec
ond term to serve. Imagine his distress
and that of his wife. She went to work to
try and have him pardoned, and the answer she
we'd VIZ n W %n

Finally the result of her efforts was told to him.
At first he was desperate. But one DAY, sud
denly, as he was working in the prison, he drew
forever helpless at his side ssThey cannot re-
fuse me now" he said, ~ can never engrave
again." He is still in prison, but before long
win probably be dismissed. Justice would seem
to have had her dues.
