CARDINAL. GIBBONS enters a strong pro-
test against the common delay IN
executing the sentence Of criminals
condemned TO capital punishment, but
he goes a little too far when he says
that this delay has given plausible
grounds for the application of lynch
law. The same public sentiment That
on occasion sets aside the court and eX-
ecutes criminals without trial, could. II
properly directed. correct abuses IN tue
administration of justice and provide for
the prompt execution OF the law sen
tepce after a far Trial has been had.
LYNCH law strikes at the very iounda-
ton OF orderly government, ana should
never be excused even though lis de-
crees may in themselves be wholesome.

is scarcely a doubt that pensions arc
paid to hundreds. if not 10 Thousands. q
persons who were never legally entitled
to them or whose right 10 them ha.
been forfeited. The sclf.inlerested yea
Of agents and attorney and the
political fayOrltism of officials have
/ combined to pass many cases without
very rigid scrutiny. but nobody IS al
lowed to ascertain. by inspection Of tho
rolls or by inquiry. who does or who
does not get pension or on hal
ground any pension has been allowed
Il would seem a. though The people
