A r,ew Party Senator.

Senator-elect PETER, of Kansas, is in
favor of new party. Immediately after
he was elected last Tuesday, he madesa
short speech to the assembled members of
the legislature. In the course of it he said:
when go to the Senate chamber, If do
go, will probably take a seat just where
they ASK me, but when it comes to voting,
my dear friends. will vote for the princi-
Piles of the peoples party. When l left the
Republican party left it for good"
Senator-elect PETER will vote for the prin-
ciples of the peoples party. will he's He
will not find any party in the Senate that
goes by that name. TIE Democratic party
is the peoples party, and he may consent to
act with it He is in harmony with the
Democratic party on the tariff and other
important questions, and upon further con-
sideration it may suit him just as well as a
peoples party would. Anyhow, he will
probably act with it until the peoples party
has an existence. Just at present the out
lines of that party are not apparent in the
shadowy future.

His Talk Comas HIGH.

good story is told about the capitol of the
easy way in which an ex-member Of the House
recently earned a handsome fee, says the
Washington Herald. The ex-member in ques-
ton now devotes himself mostly to guiding
Alright the votes Of sitting members on bills in
which he is one way or another interested. Not
long ago the representatives of a national asso-
citation OF government employees, who want
congress to do something for their relief, came
to Washington to urge the passage of q bill in
their interest. The government employees in
question deserve that something should be
telligent pushing to get them through
congress nowadays and the representa-
tives Of the Government Employees Asso-
citation seem to have quickly discovered
that they would need some one to plead their
case before bhe committee which had their bill
in charge. The ex-member in question ran
across them and somehow convinced them that
he was the man they wanted. So they engaged
him to him appear before ths committee, and
on the proper day he did so. At the appointed
moment be appeared in the committee room,
drew from his pocket half sheet of letter
paper, on which he had scrubbed his plea for
the employers bill and read to the following
effect. mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the
committee, ! know that you know that this is a

committee will give it due consideration, and

hoping that your honorable committee will
take favorable action on the bill a. soon as pos
sible, l will not take up any more of the time of
the committee, but leave the matter in your
hands" So saying the ex-member bowed
politely to the committee put back the half
sheet of letter paper in his pocket picked up
his hat and walked out. His speech occupied
less than half minute in delivery, and alto
gether his work in behalf of the bill did not
take more than five minutes Of his time. The

There VIII be Few Pardons.

The probabilities are that Gov. Northen
viii not make a very free use Of the pardon
ing power. He has not made much use OF
it yet, and be does not appear to be disposed
TO = SO. Some Of the governors Of this
state have leaned altogether too much to
the side of mercy. They did not put much
confidence, apparently. in courts. A big
petition and a little urging were sufficient,
in MANY instances, 20 secure the pardon OF
a convict. Mercy is commendable when
exercised with judgment, but too much
mercy interferes greatly with the admins
tration Of the laws and greatly increases the
cost of enforcing them.
Gov. Northen's policy with reference to
pardons seems TO be to assume that the find
ing OF the courts is correct, and to interfere
with them only when there Is indisputable
evidence that they are erroneous That
policy is the correct one. If a governor
gets the reputation Of exercising the par
doning power freely he is certain to be over
run with applications for pardons. Every
convict will appeal to him for mercy when
further resistance in the courts is i'm
possible.
this state. The work of passing upon the
applications for pardons is too great for the
governor He could hardly attend Co all of
them conscientiously even if he gave his
whole time to them. An application for a
pardon is often accompanied by mass of
testimony, much of which is irrelevant,
and also by lengthy arguments. Very
often a greater effort is made TO get a
pardon than was made to get verdict Of
ecquittal for the applicant. A single ap-
plicltion for pardon may require days of
careful study before a satisfactory con-
clusion with respect to IL can be reached.
And, as a rule. the less meritorious an
application the more voluminous are the
papers filed In connection with 1t. Ii Is a
notorious fact that there Is no difficulty in
getting a petition for a pardon. People
who do not know whether criminal was
rightfully convicted or not will not hesitate
to sign an application for his pardon.
Gov. Northen appears to have adopted
the safe course-that is, to assume that all
who are in the penitentiary are rightfully
there. and TO release a convict only when it
is clear that he is the victim Of an error.
There may be innocent men in the peni-
tertiary, but it is doubtful if there are.
Courts and juries give those charged with
violations of the law the benefit of any
doubt that may exist with respect to their
guilt. II Gov. Northen continues in this
matter of pardons as he has begun he will
have the approval of the people. The peo-
pie are not willing that convicts whose
trials have costs hundreds, and perhaps
thousands, of dollars shall DO released
simply because there are big petitions in
their behalf
