RHODE ISLAND.
executive Clemency.
Woonsocket Reporter.


An administration tempered by great mercy
does not always prove popular, 1t seems.
The New York World says, editorally,
that Governor Flower, inst retired,
abused the pardoning power somewhat
extensively He -intelfered. by pardon or
Communication, to protect GO mank illers, SO
thieves, "a burglars, SO robbers, "A forgers, 20
offenders against women, nine firebugs, one
ghoul and 81 other criminals.
These statistics are OF startling nature,
surely, and smack more Of poll of general
Jail delivery than of humane clemency. The
effect is quite likely to encourage crime and to
discourage those conscientious officials, in
cluding the judicial, who seek justice under
difficulties that at times seem almost insur-
mountable and always at great Expense to the
commonwealth.
Gov. Brown of this State has been charged
with unusual clsmency, but by comparison
with New York's chief executive he is stony
hearted officiil.

The following pithy and concise report

the Candy massacre three months later:
"We attacked the Modocs on the 18th

vines, some Of them 100 feet deep. in
the opinion of any experienced officer
OF regulars or volunteers, 1000 men
would be required to dislodge them
from their almost impregnable position
with free use of mortar batteries. No
troops could have fought better than all
did, advancing cheerfully against an
unseen enemy over the toughest rock

What made the task of the soldiers

Writing to the Providence News concerning
the law iegalizing gambling, Representative
Philip Boucher of this city. says: IL think
such law is a disgrace for the people Of the
State, and no man who knows how this busi-
ness is carried on will ever favor such law.
hope the next House will vote as one man to
repeal Chapter l2S0. Section 2" That is exactly
the right stand TO take, and In doing so Rep
resentative Boucher reflects the sentiment of
the entire community.
1t Is said that Governor Bro wn In his forth
coming message will vigor ously attack the
gambling law and urge its speedy repeal, and
will also advocate biennial elections and hi-
ennial sessions of the General Assembly.
These are three good points, and the Cover
nor's recommendations should be h eeded. We
have too much law making In Rhode Island.
