PARDONs AND POLITicS.

This 10 tho year and now is about the
time Of the year when lot of public
frauds and nuisances make hay while the
political sun shines. One of the ccm.
monest Of these II the pardon petition
fraud. We ought to have no III feeling
even against condemned criminals; but
when. after every device has been used
to defeat justice, or to eluds. it, when
perjury has failed to blind the jury, and
appeals to their sympathies or to their
baser passions, have not swerved them
from their sworn duty, when there 10 no
possible reason why criminal should
not be punished, then in that case We
SEQ no coed reason why he should not
b. kept for afew years where he can do
no further harm to bis fellows. 1t is
doubtless true that imprisonment does
not reform; but it imprisons. A crimi-
nal can do less harm in prison than when
FREE. But there is no argument needed
hscause the petition. bearer in political
ysAn never uses any. He simply wants
aisnatares, and candidates and others in
tsrssted in politics understand that fail.

SAN ANTONIO, June %.

Editor LIGHT:
Allow me to acknowledge my error
concerning your "Queer Verdict" and
gentlemanly apology is due. But in
reply to your ranking insinuation
that am anyone's tool, I would say
that l have no use whatever for Du-
val, and, that 1 am the tool of none
but my honest conviction.
/ wrote the article because had I'M
shaken faith in my informant's hon.
esty. If your reporter did know the
facts, he certainly was not justified in
trying to make it appear that the jury
did not know or did not want to know
that Duval carried and discharged a
pistol, and therefore rendered the YER
dict of mot guilty" And neither
was there any justification in his
judging me, like himself probably, the
tool of anyone except my honest con-
viction. Respectfully,
JAS. L. GILES.
The reporter did not "try to make it
appear that the jury did not know or
want to know that Duval carried or
discharged a pistol" He did not try
to make it appear that the jury knew
or wanted to know anything. He
couldn't. He would have hard time
working on Mr.. G. even. The other
part of this tit-for-tat apology is all
right, however, and it doesn't hurt a
bit. This office is full of tools, a regu-
lar tool chest, in fact, and they are all
kept pretty sharp and in good work
ing order.
