The President, in pardOning bank cashier
sentenced for making false reports to the con-
trOer of currency, rebUkeS district attorneys for
pressing indictments to sentence and immedi-
ately following them up by petitions to pardon.
He says justly that such indictments had better
be abandoned. His eXcellency's experience as
sheriff ought to tell him why many of these eX-
tremely doubtful cases are pressed through.
There are fat fees to be garnered, which would
gang aglee'' if the victim escaped conviction.
And there are dOuceurs to Ire gathered for OBJ
tanning pardon.

1t is merely a question whether or not Guata-
mala will surrender Menage. The application
for his deliverance to United States officers has
been made and it will doubtless be to Guatama-
Ian interests to surrender him. The schemes of
Menage of Minneapolis and the Bushnells of ST.
Paul, did more to discredit Minnesota in the eyes
of an investing public than 800 ordinary fOrgers
and frauds could have done. They struck at the
very roots of public confidence.

JURY BRIBERs UNDER ARREST.
Two Men Charged With Corruption in
the Curtis Murder Case.


San FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. 21.-Ex-
State Senator William J. Dunn and
Frank McManus, the well known poll
tician, have been arrested on a charge
of jury bribing They are charged
with unduly influencing the jury which
acquitted Actor NJ. 3. Curtis of the
murder of Policeman Grant. A few
days ago a story was printed that Nc
Manus and Dunn were trying to force
Curtis to pay them $1,000 which
they claimed to have expended in
securing his accuittal. This story and
subsequent developments led to the
arrest. Several people much higher in
the social scale will soon find them
selues in an embarrassing predicament.
Two of the Curtis jurors have done
things that would convict them in any
court of having taken brides and the
police do not propose to permit these
men to 90 fee.

that one of the Russians had been shot !;
in fact, the report spread that an at
tempt bad been made upon the life of
Admiral Avellan by German fanatic.

Hawaii Adopted.

Uncle Sam has yielded to the
wooing of Miss Hawaii and the lit
tie kingdom of the sea will become
a territory under the protection of
the Stars and Stripes. The Presi-
dent has sent a message to the Sem
ate conveying officially the treaty
or convention entered into between
the Hawaiian commissioners and
the State department.
The terms of the agreement are in
brief that the islands are to become
a territory of the United States.
The deposed Queen is to have
pension of $4,000 annually and the
Crown Prince a like amount. In
return the Crown lands are to be-
come government property.
The islands bring in more than
$4,000 revenue annually, so Uncle
Sam has made a good bargain fl
nancially. The affair cannot be
finally concluded under this ale
ministration. but like some other
important work it will be left for
the newcomers.
