PARDON FOR NR. WALLER.

Secretary Olney's disposition Of the Waller
case will cause much disappointment and re-
gret; or perhaps not so much his disposition Of it
as the facts he has disclosed There has been
a general belief in Mr.. Walters innocence Of the
grave charges made against him. and a hope
that he would be fully indicated. his release
and an indemnity granted as a matter of justice,
and his extensive concessions in Madagascar
confirmed and restored. This hope must now,
apparently, be abandoned. The State Depart
ment is convinced that he was guilty as charged,
and that he was fairly tried and Justly sentenced.
In the absence Of any stronger testimony in NJ
Walters behalf we shall have TO accept this fl ~
ing as conclusive, though with much regret that
an American citizen and former Consul should
thus have misbehaved.
At the same time there is cause for much graf
idcatlon Mt the action Of the French Govern
mont II has acted throughout with its accus-
toned courtesy, and it has finally agreed to give
Mr. Waller full and immediate pardon. not
because he Is entitled to it, but as manifesta-
ton of goodwill to the United States The rcla-
lions between this country and the Third Repub-
lie have usually been most cordial, ana II Is
pleasant to know that they still remain So VI.
