We hear a great deal about the abuse
ofithe pardon power by Ex-Governor
Atgeld, he having pardoned during his
career as governor of IllinOise POI con-
yicts. During a similar period as gov
ernor of Tennessee the Hon. Peter
Turney pardOned and committed the
sentences of 8O2 convicts, or nearly
three times as many as are charged
against Altgeld, and that, too in
state of much smaller population. But
nobody calls Governor Turney an an
archist. On the contrary, he is regard
ed as an extremely merciful and hu-
name man, and his remarkable use of
the pardoning power is ascribed to
these virtues rather than to any dispo-
sition to break down the law and de-
moralize society. But Altgeld's use of
the same power is deemed anarchistic
simply because he has dared to es-
pouse the cause of the people more
boldly than Turney has ever felt dis
posed to do.

ROBERTS BOLDNESS.

| Comptroller Roberts of New York
has scratched up snakes" by telling
the property holders that the time is
at hand when they must contribute
more to the expenses of the govern
ment than they have in the past. In
truth, says the Columbus Ledger, he
has as good as told the owners of two
billion dollars worth of property which
last year escaped taxation that they
were perjurers and cheats, and that
they,might as we'll get ready to list
their possessions ia reasonable vaIua-
ton and settle their taxes accordingly.
1t must be the boldest SORT of pre-
sumption in the eyes of such men as
Russell Sage, John D. Rockefeller and
such as Jay Gould was to have a mere
state employe talk in threatening tones
about their duty to the state. There
was Jay Gould, who was worth be-
tween seventy-five and eighty millions
of dollars, who paid taxes on five hun
dred thousand.
There are Messrs. Rockefeller and
Sage who are doubtless just as Jealous
of having their pocket change go for
taxes. Nobody knows just how much
Mr.. Sage is worth, but no one believes
his property is listed for fourth of it's
value. There is Mr.. Rockefeller, who
is even worse than Mr.. Sage, for he
was recently heard to say under oath
that the reason he had allowed certain
property of his to pass under the name
of a church was because he knew he
would have to pay taxes on it if it be-
came known that it belonged to him.
Comptroller Roberts is right. The
conduct of Jay Gould, of Rockefeller
and of many others, not in New York
alone but throughout the country. is
simply splendid robbery. The day
ought to be at hand, whether it is or
not, when they are brought to Justice.
1t was these people at whom the in
come tax was aimed, and whom it
would have reached but for turn-coat
judge of the supreme court of the
United States.

PUBLIC OPINION
Reflected In the Papers of this

been appointed to the responsible
and highly lucrative position of

Siamese twins, politically, thinking

an indication that Wimberly will

Port.-West Baton Rouge Sugar
Planter, Dem.
The prize-fght in New Orleans
few nights ago between Eve rhart
and Mcfarland, two plug-uglies
who are not unknown to fstiana,
gives rise to the question: What
has become of the law against prize
fighting7 Has it fallen into inno-
cuous desuetude? It is said that
sheriffs, judges, district attorneys
and other peace officers were pres
ent and witnessed the brutal mill.
Will some one please explain why
none of these did nothing to pre-
vent this ralpable and contemptuous
disregard for the law? Are the or
derly, law abiding citizens of this
written and unwritten law shall be
allowed to continue ad infinitum?
Is Louisiana to be again made the
rendezvous of the cutthroats,
bruisers and plug-uglies of the
world7 The best sentiment of the
American people is against the
vicious and demolalizing tendencies
of the prize-ring. Every State in
the Union, with the exception Of
the rotten borough Of Neva-
da, has passed stringent laws
against prize-6ghting. Louisiana
having done likewise, the proper
officials owe it to themselves and to
the people to enforce this law and

led astray by this promise. How

Famous For It's Coal and Sheep-The County's Growth

The growth in the matter Of wealth,

an appreciate Improvement is notice

The county as an integral political

ders. Ia 1897 approximate figures indi-
cate that there arc in excess of 1900.

While its flocks number nearly 100000.
In the matter Of beef, horses and swine,
the production has not made such
strides. Fruit of all kinds takes a de-
cided liking to Carbons soil, apples of
size and quality being perhaps the best
crop.
The irrigation scheme, which now
largely occupies public attention in the
county, involves an extension of the
company's ditch from its present ter
minus. seven miles southeast of Helper,
in an easterly direction for nearly 80
miles. The route of the proposed ditch
is to be north OF Price, cutting Coal
creek, midway between that point and
Clark'S valley. Extensive preparations
are being made to establish reservoir
at this junction. The number of acres
which will be affected by the new move
is close to $4,000. Half of this area is
included in Clarl's valley. The soil is
between eight and nine feet in depth,
of a gravelly character, and well fitted
to produce lucern and the small
grains.
