An interesting point has been raised in

cooIt pardon issued i'm 1854 and signed
by Grover Cleveland, then governor of
New York The eject of a pardon is to
restore the par6oned TO full civil rights.
But the defendants attorneys argue that
pardon cannot remove the blemish
placed by the criminal code upon the com
plRinant. The hearing in the case was
adjourned pending a search for euthori-
ties. Some of the New York papers have
seized upon the fact that the pardon was
granted by Mir. Cleveland, and that it was
not published until nearly nne years after
issue, as "a basis for an attempt to make
political capital Mr. Stokes is strong

he bought the governors favor with some
political quid pro quo. Mr. Cleveland.
however, needs no defense against his de-

The ANGELIC Husband.

It. B. Aldrich in the Forum.
There are husbands who are pretty,
There are husbands who are witty,
There are husbands who IN public are as smil-
ing as the morn;
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are famous ones and wealthy,
But the real angelic husband, well-hes never
yet been born.
Some for strength Of love are noted,
Who are really SO devoted
That Wiener their wives are absent they are
lonesome and forIOrn;
And while now and then you'll find one
Who S a fairly good ana Kind one.
Yet the real angelic husbanG-oh. he mover
yet been born.
So the woman who is mated
To q man who may ne rated
AS pretty fair, should cherish him forever
and day,
For the real angelic creature,
Perfect, quite in every feature
He has never been discovered, and he won I
be, so they say.

Nobody disputes the right of an American
citizen TO seek ONCE. there are numerous
offices to lie filed and American citizens
must fill them. Under the previous admin
istration they were flied by republicans
principally, ana properly enough. Under
this administration they will in due time he

A few days ago a New York paper pub
lished an item to the effect that while the
against candidates, a number Of presi-
dental favorites had been given tip to
sneak into the building by back door on
the south side of the building. ''In this
way" said the paper, "a large number Of
favored congressman and their constitu-
ents We're admitted to-day to Mr.. Cleve-
lands presence" Representative Benton
McMillin was named as Oneof those, who,
with some candidate friends, had availed
himself of the back door privilege. Mr..
McMillin has pronounced the story abso-
lutely untrue.

Legislative body proposed by the home

1t would be rather remarkable if
Nicaragua should be without a revo-
luton very long. The exact cause
of the revolution that is now
in progress in that country is
not stated in the dispatches. 1t is
more than probable, however, that the
chief aim of the revolutionists is to get
the Offices.
The leader Of the revolutionary move
ment is ex-President Zaralla He has a
bigger army and more guns than the
President, and, according to the dis
patches, has much the better of the fight.
Unless his men desert him he will dictate
the terms of the settlement.
Our government has sent a warship to
Greytown, on the Atlantic coast, and an
other to Corinthia, on the Pacific coast.
to protect the interests of the Nicaragua
Canal Company.
The dispatches state that the reVOlu-
tionists are in possession of the Nicara
qua canal and the question of the advisa-
bility of stationing guards along the whole
length of the canal has been discussed at
Washington.
It is news to many that any work has
been done on the canal except at Grey
town, and for few miles inland from
that place. Why, then, should guards be
stationed along the whole line of the
canal? The revolutionists could hardly
Go the route along which it is to be built
any harm, even if they were disposed to
DO so.
If this country is going to aid in build
ing the canal the first thing it ought to
do is to make Nicaraguans understand
that their practice of starting revolu-
ton every once in while will not be per
mittod. There is a way to make them
understand that.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The British Imperial institute.

From the Philadelphia Press Rcp)
The Imperial Institute, which was opened
yesterday by Queen Victoria, has its chief in
terests for Americans because it is part of the
attempt to federate and unite the British
empire. When this takes place Canada will
cease to be simply a colony and become an in
tegral part of an empire in whose council
chambers twill have adequate representa-
ton. Annexation will then be more difficult
than ever and may be impossible without war.

There is a strike of brickmasons in
progress at Springfield, Mass. AS is
customary during all strikes, the strikers
are anxious to keep other workmen out of
the way. How this anxiety is taken ad-
vantage of in Springfield is thus told in a
press dispatch: "One of the easiest ways
TO make money now is to come into the
city bringing a mason's level Immedi-
ately crowd of the striking masons
gather about, and with big rolls of bills
will pay for a ticket to any station
named, and good sum for a week S work
if it is demanded. A man who has never
done a stroke of mason work claims that
he has made $50 and his car fare out OF
the strikers"

The English attorneys in the Boring
sea case probably reached the conclusion
that things were progressing too favor
ably for the American side, and that
something sensational and dramatic must
be done to change the drift of sentiment,
hence Sir Charles Russeu's assertion that
precipitated the row the other day. Lord
Hannen's remarks in support of Sir
Charles sound very much like an effort to
bully the court into a finding favorable to
England, or to discredit an adverse find
ing in advance of its delivery.
