Within the past seven DAYS We

Within the past seven days we
have been given three examples Of
the baleful effect of the too free use
of the pardoning power by the Gov
errors of States. In Illinois man
was lynched because the mob believ-
ed that he would be pardoned by
Gov. Altgeld; and in Maryland ex.
actly the same thing happened, even
though the victim was sentenced to
be hanged judicially on June z. The
members of the mob declared that
the Governor was about to pardon
this murderer on the ground OF in
sanity. The latest case is in Florida,
where judge finds his proceedings
Interrupted by pardon issued to the
accused who is yet on trial, he having
taken an appeal. In this case the
Governor has not waited for the final
decision in the matter, but puts in
his pardon as an estoppal of the ma
chinery of the law. The Judge will
disregard the Governors pardon and
keep the machinery of the law in
motion. All these cases are regretta-
BILE because they teach the broad
lesson that even where juries are to
be trusted, there sit up aloft ofttimes
executiveswho nullify most righteous
judgments and interpose their fat
between the law and it's Victims
