TIE TARIFF BILL.

From the present outlook it is
safe to say that the tariff bill now
pending in Congress will neve,
become q law. There has been
considerable opposition to 1T, and
as the days of this session are
rapidly passing away, it is not
likely that sufficient time will be
found to discuss the measures OF
the bill. Many ofour good Demo.
Gratis who favor tariff reform are
not all pleased with the bhl, be.
cause it proposes q radical re-
formation on the tariff of sugar.
The bill provides that raw sugar
shall DO taxed atS5per cent. This
is on an average q reduction OF
about so per cent which Is u cut
Of two and one. half times as great
as the one In the Mills bill. If
this could be passed it would take
away from the reliners the power
to raise The price of sugar to tie
consumers at will.

ing convicts, some of which charg,
that executive elemeucy is-~te,
frequently exercised in behalf u
these conylcts. 1t may be a fact,
50 lar as We know, that som.
I criminals have : been pafloned
who had they rccievcd their jus,
deserts, would have served ont
their full time, and there are some
who arralgn the Governor and
seek TO hold him responsible for
these cases. In sill such cases the
board OF pardons, comrosed Of
the Lieutenant Governor, A;tornc,,-
General, and the trial judge, is to
blame, and the Governor should
IN no wise be bel ! responsible for
its acts.
~ is true the pardoning pow cr
vests At last in the Governor. but
he always acts on the recommend.
alton of this board. The Law.
provides thas all applications
shall first be passed on by this
board when they are then submit.
ted to the Governor. The law
does not provide that the Governor
shall act IN accordance with, the
recommendations Of this board,
but the presumption is that he
will, else this pardoning board
would have not been created. It
would be. better that the Law
creating this board be repealed if
the Governor is to be held respon
slble for its acts. The object. of
the law which created this board
was to virtually take this preros "a.
tive out of the Governors hands.
under the presumption that
favoritism would less likely be
with the power In the
hands OF three men than 1t would
In the hands ofone man. Upon the
whole we think Governor Nichols
has done exactly what be should
have done in pardoning criminals
where this board recommended
it.
We are not prepared to say
whether the pardoning board has |
made any mistakes and deserve |
'he condemnation the. Governors |

not, but the presumption is that |

Dors High In the Air.
QUEENSTOWN, March 30.-The stern Of
the steamer City Of Paris, is deeply sunk
and her bows are high out OF the water.
a number OF steam pumps are at work
ou the ship, but they are hardly gaining
on the water that is flowing into her. :
There has been no increase in the
water in the City Of Paris since ycster-
day. II is believed that the bottom OF
the steamer is rot injured and that the
water which covered both engines
probably rushed through the ordinary
inlet and outlet pipes leading through
tho engine rooms. These pipes, with
their valves and all their attachments,
were destroyed by the breaking Of the
machinery and free rush OF water into
the steamer was thus afforded. Divers
are making thorough examination Of
the steamers hull. E a. }5
LONDON, March 3l.-A dispatch just
received from Queenstown states that
the water flowing into the City OF Paris
is gaining on the steam pumps. 1t Is
probable that tho number of pumps
will be increased, and il it is then found
that the cannot hold their own against
the water the steamer will be beached
to prevent her from sinking. Her cargo
will be transferred to other vessels
