The Pardoning Power.
Gov. Tillman's alleged abuse
of the pardoning power has been
frequently referred to and he has
been sharply criticised for his too
free use of it, and at the mass
meeting on March 22nd last one of
the speakers dilated extensively
on the matter until one would al
most think the whole kit of
penitentiary convicts were about
to be turned loose upon socie ty.
AS we'll as we remember the state
ment was made that but one gov
ernor since 1875 had exceeded
him in the number of pardons
issued and the dramatic pathos
with which it was uttered was
cheered to the echo. But the
cold facts which we submit below
only show how wildly reckless
public speakers are sometimes in
their utterances and how recklessly
people sometimes believe what
4hey want to believe. Here is
the record:
Hagood, 1s8o-81-28 pardons
and combinations. q
Hagood, 1sS1-82-27 pardons
and comutations.
Thompson, 18S2-8S-34 pardons,
and communications.
Thompson, 83-84-53 pardons!
and communication ..s,:sys.. Z.
Thompson, 1sS4-S5-34 pardons
and combinations.
Thompson, 1885, to Julys 1886
-43 pardons and Communication.
Sheppard, July 70, to Novem-
ber %, 1866 pardons and
tionr
Richardson, 1SS6-S7-59 par
dons and communications.
Richardson, 1SS7-SS-92 par
dons and combinations.
Richardson, 1SS8-S9-61 par
dons and combinations.
Richardson, 1Ss9.9O-71 par
dons and communications.
Tillman, 1Sso-91-34 pardons
and combinations. =
Tillman, November %, 1891, to
April 10, 1922 pardons and
combinations.
This is the record for ten years
and SO far from Gov. Tillman
having hay in issued more pardons than
any other governor the
record shows that Gov. Richardson
issued more pardons in each of
his four years than Gov. Tillman,
and that Sheppard during the
short time be was governor, a
period a little less than five
months, issued more pardons and
combinations than Tillman, and
that Thompson during two Of his
years issued exactly the same
number as Tillman during his
first year, and in one of the years
issued more, while Hagood is the
only one who during the decade
issued fewer pardons and COM
mutations than Tillman. During
the four,years of the administration
of Thompson and Sheppard
together there was an average of
exactly so pardons and COM
mutations a year. Dnring
Richardson's four years, there
was an average of q fraction over
10 a year.
Now we are not disposed to criti-
cize either of these governors for
their exercise of this merciful
prerogative of their high Office,
but we submit that in common
fairness the facts should be stated
and that Gov. Tillman should
not be charged with sins of which
he is not guilty-People's Advance.

Lieutenant Colonel Steator will
soon have an opportunity to show
in a tribunal of justice whether the

by military law and discipline.
Warrants have been issued for the

cipated in the affair. The criminal
prosecutions, it is reported, are to
be followed by civil actions for

and especially Of the constitutional
provision prohibiting the iufl'c ing
of cruel and unusual punishmeuts.
