THE BOARD OF PARDoNs.
Governor Morrill, Opposed to It's AboI-
acknowledgements an Indefinite
Sentence Scheme.

Topeka, Kas.. Jan. 5.-iSpecial) Governor
Morrill, is opposed to the abolshment of the
state board of pardons under the present
order of things. He says that two years
experience has taught him that the board
of pardons is n very useful adjunct, and
that it should be retained until provision
was made 10 take the pardoning power out
of the hands of the governor entirely.
When asked to-day for his opinion in re-
gard to the necessity for board of par
dons and the practicability of doing away
with the board, he said:
IF the present system of treating GRIM
inals by sentencing them for definite terms
is continued, l do not see how it would be
possible TO abolish the board and do JUS
tice TO all. The entire time of the governor
would be taken up hearing evidence in
cases for applications for pardons and lis
tening to the appeals of friends and rela-
tives, or else he must decline TO listen to
any of them. No matter how gross the
injustice may have been TO a criminal. no
matter how many eNtenuatfnE circum-
stances there may be in the case: no mat
ter how much the Judge may have erred in
passing sentence upon him: no matter how
grave the doubts may be from subsequent
evidence as to the guilt of the person, he
would have to serve out his entire SEN
tence. Pardons ought not to be granted
until the fullest investigation has been
made into the case. The protection of the
citizens of the state IN their life and prop
erty ought to be considered. as well as the
interests of the prisoner and his relatives
l am aware that these examinations are.
10 a certain extent, eX parte: that while
notice is given that the application will be
heard by the board of pardous on a certain
day, yet those VINO are opposed to the OK

Washington, Jan. 5.-(SpecialD Dr. Will

over at Canton for Il day on his way to
Washington and New York. and had a
dong chat with the president-elect. Incl
dentally, he suggested Major Warmers

Mr.. Mckinley listened with great interest
to the statements of the Missourian, and
surprised him by asking what the Republic
ans of the state would say. should Mis-
souri, be considered. to the selection of
Henry Hitchcock, of St. Louis.
The Kansas City visitor was compelled to
admit that his acquaintance with Mr.
Hitchcock was very limited. while he be-
licved Major Warmers selection would
give satisfaction to the rank and file of the
party from one end of the state to the
other. The president-elect did not commit
himself beyond this, and the Kansas City
man left well pleased with his visit and
strongly impressed with the conviction that
Missouri has more than a forlorn hope of
carrying off one of the cabinet portfolios
under the Republican administration. In
cidentally, it may be stated that Mr.. Hitch
cock is prominent jurist in st. Louis and
was a candidate for the supreme bench
during the Harrison administration.

KANSANs WANT TO KNOW
What Authority the Topeka Land Of
flee Hns for Accepting Ger
tnin Land Entries.

Washington, Jan. 5.-(SpecialJ Repre-
sentative Broderick to-day introduced in
the house a resolution which has the COM
bined support of the Republican members
of the Kansas delegation. calling on the in
terror department for official information
why patents have not been issued TO set
tiers on the Union Pacific land grants in
Kansas. and by what authority the Topeka
land office officials are receiving appliCa-
tions for entries these lands. The mat
ter was brought TO the attention of the
Kansas members by the prominence given
in the Journal to the action of the Topeka
land office. The affair will, in all prob
ability. be carried still further by a rs-
quest for the removal Of the register and
receiver who. b. the way. do not enjoy the
highest standing at the general land office
here. Commissioner LamerouX is very in
dignant over the course pursued by these
officials, and will probably incline a will
ing ear to any demand that may bs made
on him to bounce them. The Republicans
will insist that as the Democratic regime
is, rapidly coming to a close, the vacancies
be filled by the appointment of men named
by them. who of course. will be members
of their faith. and in all proba bility Sec
retary Francis will interpose no obstacles.
Congressman BroderirSs resolution. which
was adopted. is as follows:
Whereas, There are large and valuable
tracts of lands in Kansas embraced in the
grant to the Union Pacific Railway Com
pany. to which patents have not yet been
issued.
Whereas. Most of these lands have been
sold by said company TO the said purchase
ers. who are in possession. and who have
made lasting and valuable improvements
thereon.
whereas. The land Office officials at To-
peka have allowed, and are allowing home
stead entries to be made upon these lands
without apparent legal authority; there
fore,
Resolved. That the secretary OF the i'm
terror be directed to report to the house
the cause of the omission 10 issue patents
to said lands and the authority under which
the land officers pretend to act in permit.

was taken to-day by the finance commit

Secretary Francis. The ostensible reason
given was that there was no quorum of

members, among them a majority of the
members of the committee in whose hands
the secretary's nomination rests. the in
