A Costly Delay.

The delay in providing the city with a
system Of house drainage is costing house
holders whose premises are within 800 feet
Of a sewer, and which are not connected
with it. good deal of money. Last week
State street from Drayton to within fifty
feet OF Bull street was dug up for the pur-
pose Of laying private sewer pipe. What
the cost Of laying thispipe was is not known,
but It undoubtedly was two or three times as
much as it would have cost to make sewer
connection If the city had a proper system
of house drainage. Besides the cost of lay
ing this pipe. there will be frequent OUTLAWS,
doubtless. to keep the pipe in order. Brough-
ton street lane, which b Immediately In tho
rear Of the premises from which this sewer
pipe was laid. is SO full of sewer pipes that
there is room for no more, and that is the
reason, probably, why the pipe in question
was laid in State street.
Sewer pipes are being laid In a great
many parts Of the city to connect residences
with sewers. The system which requires
each house TO run sewer pipe all the way
TO sewer Is not only costly, but is bad
one. The lines of pipe are liable to get out
Of order and to I'LL the soil with filth, which
in the hot season breeds disease. Indeed, il
is perhaps safe TO assert that very large
percentage of the pipes connecting houses
with sewers are in a very unsanitary con.
dition.
The talk about house drainage systen
has been going on for years, and YET
absolutely nothing has been done toward
providing it. And no steps have been
taken to lay large sewer pipes in the lanes,
80 that householders could connect with
them, and thus save the expense of laying
80 many pipes to tho sewers and avoid the
dangers which arise from these cheap and
badly laid pipes.
1t is asserted that nothing can be done
toward providing the city with house
drainage system until a larger water supply
is obtained. IL has been pointed out, how
ever, time and time again, that q very large
part of The water supply is wasted. Blu
nothing is being done to check the vast,
Of water.
IL the house drainage question is not taksI
hold Of with more vigor the city will remain
for many years without system of hous
drainage.

A Board OF Pardons Recommended.
The penitentiary committee o. the legisla-
ture did net find he conviSr camps which it
visited in a Satisfactory condition. Lsgisls-
tive committees are disposed 70 be lenienr
rather than severe with dslinquerts, and 1t
Is not improbable. therefore, that the con-
ditiOn Of the camps Is even worse than the
committee, in It's report. represented them
% be.
The lease system is bad enough even in
cases N which the lessees are very oonscien-
tious il thsir treatment Of the convicts, but
In cases in which they are Indifferent 10 the
comfort and welfare Of the poor wretches
committed to their care it is a blot upon
the fair fame Of the state
The committee recommends the creation
Of board Of p4rdons The MORNING
NEWS has been an advocate Of such board
ever since Gen. Gordon, when ch ief execu-
tive OF the state, made Il clear that IL was
impossible for the governor 70 give that at
tention to the applications for pardons
which they ought TO have.
No doubt there are now on file a great
many applications, the majority Of which
ought 20 be rejected. Indeed, it is not
improbable that none Of them should BE-
granted. There may be few. however, in
which there is merit. If there were only
one. that would be sufficient TO justify de-
mand that all applications should be con-
sidsred carefully and promptly. No inno-
cent nam should be kept in the penitsntiary
an hour after his innocence is made ap-
parent
No doubt the governor givss as much Of
his time as he can. with justice to his other
duties, 70 the examination of applications
for pardon. The examination Of a single
case, however, often occupies several days
The papers accompanying the applications
are, as rule. voluminous, and it becomes
necessary frequently to verify the state
ments made IN them.
Complaint is often made that the gov
ernor pardons persons who do not deserve
to be pardoned. He is. Of course, liable TO
make mistakes aud also to have his symDa-
thies excited by appeals in behalf Of con-
victs that he knows ought 10 serve out their
sentences. A board Of pardous would be
more indifferent to appeals for clemency,
and would have more tune to examine the
evidence In support Of applications. In
many Of the states the pardoning power is
now exercised by board of pardons.

IL seems that he was the only one Of the

KICK OF THE REFoRMERs.

abandoned by Tillnan. A very large class
of the white voters are also fncensed at the
reappointment of William IngIiss. q mu-

personal friends Of the late CasS Dawson
