1t is very wrong for unsympathetic per-
sons TO comment sneeringly on the fact
that Mr.. John T. Johnson, ex-banker, oc-
cupied his time in reading the Bible while
on the way to the penitentiary. He may
find many things to mis- advantage in that
good book, and his studies should be en-
couraged. STILL it is to be regretted that
he had not prosecuted these researches
earlier. In that case he might have learned
something to the advantage of the people
who trusted him.

There Is much sympathy with Capt,
John D. Hart. owner of the Cuban MI
buster steamer Laurada. This is natural,
Captain Hart got into trouble by helping
the Cuban patriots. OF course he helped
them for a consideration. the work In
which his vessel was engaged being
profitable II successful.
The United States court has sentenced
Captain Hart to pay fine az $500 and to
undergo Imprisonment OF two years. 1t
IS now proposed to urge the President 10
grant a pardon. one line Of thought is
that Congress shall pass resolution
asking the pardon. Almost all Amcri-
cans sympathlze with Cuba. and almost
all will take the view expressed by the
fudge in passing the sentence. when he
said that Captain Hart knew the law,
knew that he was breaking 1t and took
his chances.
In view OF the peculiar relation be-
tween the United States and Spain Il
would be bad craftsmanship for the Prcs-
ident to grant a pardon to Captain Hart
at this time. and 1t is not to be supposed
that Congress will resort to the unusual
procedure OF asking the President TO do a
thing which every thoughtful; American
knows he should not do.
Sympathy with the Cuban cause ccr-
tainly should not let the Chief MnEis-
trate OF this country do thing that
would place US in SO awkward light
