FIRED INTO A CAR.
Passengers on Rapid Transit Train
Badly Scared.

The passengers who arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon on the Rapid
Transit roads train, which arrived at
about O'Clock, had an exciting expert
ence. AS the train passed through a
cut, only short distance from the
depot, shot was heard, and with it a
bullet crashed through window OF one
of the coaches. William Crowhurst
and George d. Kellogg OF Newcastle
were sitting in the seat by the window,
and the ball just missed the latter gem
tleman's head. The glass from the
window, which was shivered, was
dashed into the faces Of the passengers,
but no one was injured by the bullet or
cut by the glass. 1t was close call for
the two men named. No clue was
found to the miscreant who fired at the
train.

Secretary Blaine Awaiting Governor
NichOlls' Reply.


WASHINGTON, March 16.-Secretary
Blaine this afternoon received tele-
gram from Governor Nichols, of
louisiana, saying all was quiet at New
Orleans, and that he would reply to the
secretary g telegram by letter.
No further action will be taken by
the federal authorities at Washington
until after the receipt of Governor
Nichols reply to Secretary Blaine's
telegram.
Secretary Blaine has received a num-
Der OF kilograms from Italian organiza-
tions in different parts of the country,
protesting against what they term
IAN outrage" and demanding that all
Italian citizens be properly protected.
The matter is also the sole topic Of con-

opinion is that th4 stats 81 Louisiana,

There is little doing among the rail-
roads just now in the way of building.
The course of the San Gabriel Valley
Rapid Transit roads management is be-
ing watched with great interest. If, as
announced, the gauge is changed from
narrow to standard, this little road
ought to become the best paying line
in proportion to its size in the state, for
no road traverses a section of more
promising country. The line is splen-
didly adapted to heavyweight business,
all the grades and curves being easy and
adapted for the traction of maximum
loads at minimum power. The mat
ter of getting deep-water terminal is
one which also will have great bearing
on the future of the line.
NOTES.
A certain railroad man from Los An
geles, says the San Francisco Chronicle,
was placed in very awkward position
at the Kilrain- Godfrey mill. He trusted
the representations OF an ex-director Of
the athletic club and found himself out
in the cold minus the ticket which had
been surreptitiously furnished to him
by the ticket-selling and justly-repudi-
ated ex-director. The latter's position
as a ticket seller of any sort is consid-
cred very insecure in view of the new
regime to be introduced at the Union
Pacific Offices tomorrow.
The railroads are keeping up their
efforts to move the orange crop. The
present wet weather will delay picking,
however.
The Belt railroads power house will
soon be up. Chief Engineer Eaton
promises to have trains running the 1st
OF July.
All Southern Pacific trains were on
time yesterday.
Up to last evening no damage by
washouts from the recent rain had been
reported

he then indicated. 1t may be said OF him Mt
least that he has been frank and outspoken In
his methods, and that he has gone straight for

Free Trade, Free Silver, Civil Service Reform, do
not concern him in the least except as pawns in

ever was at the height of his power and his am

On the other hand, there is the can't Of pro-

sometimes think they believe in. Hill repre-
sents brutal candor, Cleveland sentimental can't.
The party has its choice between them. AT the

A FLAGRANT ABUSE OF THE PARDON.
ING POUER

In "The North American Review for Janu-
airy, 1892 David B. Hill writes of the pardoning
power. He is opposed to vestng it in COM
mission, and expresses himself as fayonng the
existing provision in the Constitution of New
York which vests it in the Governor. The
opinion of Mr.. Hill on this or on any other point
involving craftsmanship is of little account, since
he has made no reputation during his public
career save that of politician of the worst
school. But he has Just used the pardoning
power so disgracefuly that the cause of those
who believe that the ends of justice would be
better served if it was lodged in commission is
greatly strengthened. His pardon of the noto-
rious Thomas J. Welch, the Onondaga Super
visor convicted of running off with election re-
turns, is simply infamous. 1t is the clowning
disgrace of an administration which from first to
last has been curse to the Commonwealth.
Consider the crime against the ballot-box of
which Welch had been convicted. On the 21st
of November the Supreme Court issued writ of
peremptory mandamus, requiring the Board of
Supervisors of Onondaga County TO send back
TO the inspectors of elections certain returns for
correction. The writ served on all the
members Of the Board, including Welch The
returns of the ward-in which he resides were in
trusted 10 him by the Board to be delivered to
the inspectors in accordance with the mandate
of the court. But instead of turning them over
to the inspectors Welch-who evidently was in
the plot to steal the Legislature and was acting
under the instructions of the bosses who had
put up the jOb-placed the returns
in his pocket and jumped the coun-
y! Now, we hazard nothing in affirming that
nineteen reputable men out of every twenty
will agree that person guilty Of such an out
rage upon the electors richly deserves State
Prison for at least ten years. Welch knew what
he was about--nobody pTetends that he was
fool. lie deliberately defed an order of the
Supreme Court, and absconded with election
returns in the hope that by so doing he would
help count in candidates who had been defeated
at the polls. A knave OF that sort obviously

In the memorandum setting forth his reasons
for pardoning Supervisor Welch, Governor Hill
INDUCES in his favonte pastime of making
stump-speech, and incidentally renews his abuse
of Judge Kennedy. The latter he characterizes
as a partisan Judge, and of his conduct in this
case he aifirms that there was never before such
an arbitrary use of judicial power We do not
hesitate to say that there was never before such
an indecent and audacious use of the pardoning
power as Governor Hill has displayed in setting
Welch at liberty The defence which he at
tempts of his conduct is so feeble that he is
fain to bolster it up by an attack upon an honor
able Judge. 1t is an exceedingly characteristic
Hill performance.

Nevertheless. IL was for the benefit OF this
mean and cowardy enemy Of fair elections thai
Governor David b. Hill has just been employ
ing the rardoning power. Judge Kennedy on
Tuesday morning fined Welch $3.50 and SEN
fenced him to the Onondaga Penltentlary ior
thirty days for contempt OF court shown by ms
disobedience of the writ of mandamlis. Tho
punishment was ludicrotsly light, considering
the enormity of the offence, but was the highest
that could be legally imposed Welch was al
once taken to the Penitentiary, but his stay
there was short. The election thieves OF Syia-
cuse promptly telegraphed to their friend in the
Executive Chamber at Albany what had hap
pened. Accordingly, "a special messenger
reached the Penitentiary Tuesday night bearing
a pardon for Welch from Governor Hill. The
County Clerks Of Onondaga and Duchess (RepD
were removed by tho Governor because they re-
fused to certify to false returns. The new County
Clerk Dem) Of cutchess is suffered to remain
in Office although he has persistently refused
to obey an order of the Supreme Court and OF
the Dutchess Board of Supervisors, requiring
him to file the corrected election returns. A
Supervisor (Dem.) who has been convicted OF
running off with election returns which the court
had directed him to return for correction to the
inspectors of elections is pardoned. Did ever
high public official so brazeny subordinate JUS
tioe and decency to paltisanship? We repeat what
we have had frequent occasion to remark OF
late, that in spirit and tendency, in his employ
ment of unscrupulous methods, and his utter
contempt for public opinion, David Is. Hill is the
legitimate successor of William Nj. Tweed.
New-York tribune., 1891-12-24
CANDOR VERSUS CANT.

The Democratic party has the choice offered
in the two candidates now most prominent for
the Presidential nomination between candOr and
cant between the brutal frankness with which
Mr.. David B. Hill has disclosed his utter dis
regard for everything except party success, and
the oily and insinuating can't with which Grover
Cleveland keeps up the semblance of devotion
10 what is denominated political reform. In our
view there is no real difference between them
as TO the ultimate purpose. Both are aiming
simply and solely at the possession of political
power, the control CT the General Government
and the official patronage at its disposal. 1t is
a difference only in methods. The Speakership
canvass served to develop the situation. That
was fairly we,l-defned contest between the
two contending factions upon issues plainly
stated Upon the one hand it was an endeavor
by the supporters of Mr.. Cleveland to put the
party in the position Of open and avowed advo-
cacy of Free Trade. The election of Mills as
Speaker would have accomplished that purpose.
There would have been even then an evasion
of the important issue of silver coinage, but the
success of Mills would have meant the waging
of the fight of 1892 on Free Trade as the lead
ing question, and logically the nomination Of
Cleveland as its foremost exponent.
The election of Crisp meant the adoption of
a policy of evasion and shutlling on the question
of Free Trade; but it meant still more Its
deeper meaning was that the Democratic party
would thereafter follow the line laid down by
David b. Hill in the discharge of his official
functions that is make it the one paramount
purpose at any sacrifice Of principle, Or anything
else, to succeed to "get there' When Mr.
Hill announced with such thrilling emphasis that
he was "a Democrat he proclaimed his plat
form and his programme His meaning was
perfectly clear, and his auditors understood it
perfectly. No one ever cared 10 ask what he
meant by the term Democrat or what he con-
ceived to be the principles of Democracy. Every
body knew that he intended to state in the sim
pest fashion and the fewest words his belief in
just one thing-Democratic success. lie has
never sweved from the line laid down. never
