Governor Markham, few drys since,
turned looss upon the puolic number
OF convicts charged with crimes OF low
and high degree. To DO sure these men
had all been recommended for executive
clemency by the prison directors, but as
they ere the governors own appointees
it is to be presumed they do his biddlng
For number OF years it has been Oal
iiornia's misfortune to heys her retiring
governors abuse the psrdoning power,
and from present indications this admin
istration will be no exception
The pardoniug of that ssnctimonions
hypocrite, f. ". Garrett of Los Angelica,
under ten-yegr centencs for incest,
was trsvesty upon justice. He had
been tried by an impartial jury sud
found guilty; yet before he has served
one-half of his we'll earned sentence he
is, through the influence OF Governor
Markham's ex-prlvate secretary an
present insurance com missioner, NJ Il.
Higgins, restored to citizenship.
Mr. Higgins actions in Shis matter
are to cay the least, very peculiar, In
asmuch 40 with tho exception OF The
| statements OF Malta Garrett and Frank
p. Kelly, now police court lawyer IN
this eitv, there is nc foundation for the
claim OF innocence made by either Hig-
gina or Garrett.
From this time until the close OF the
present ad ministration 6he hinges oi the
penitentiary gate will bs kept we'll oiled,
and unfortunate is the resident behind
them who ssnnot pass through and to
| liberty.

preme court of this state. Judge Cotfey,

testant, Florence Blythe, hes had the
pleasure OF having his decision affirmed
by the higher court. Mrs. Hinckley, nee

Professor Of Physical Culture Billy
Manning, formerly OF Los Angeles but
for the past few years resident OF this
! portion Of the state, proposes to bring
about radical innovation in pugiliam
Heretofore none but the sporting ele-
mant havs attended exhibttseas in the
istio arena, but Billy intends to make
the sport society fad, II possible, and
with this worthy idea in visw will
exhibit his fstie prowess with Mr.,
"Spider" Kelly in an eight round con
test, to which the "ladies" are invited
free, the whole to wind up with grand
ball" The reauIt of Billy's ambitious
ideas is matter OF conjecture, but the
odds are as usual against him.

rY Poole, her daughters lover, is now on
