THE BORREGO CASE.

Upon the question OF authority In
this now celebrated case, the Denver
Nescs says, editorially:
A very Important question involving the
Jurisdiction of the president Of the United
States and of the governor Of Territory
in the matter of pardons and reprleves,
has come TO the front In connection with
the Borrego cases In New Mexico. II
| will be remembered that President Cleve-
land assumed the power OF respiting these
condemned murderers for thirty days, aud
that President Mckinley has respited
them for ten days. There 10, we believe,
but one previous instance In which the
president has ever interfered In such
cases. The question Is, can the president
Of the United States grant reprisves or
issue pardons for crimes committed, not
against the laws Of the United States,
but the laws of the Territory OF New
Mexico2
1t must be observed that congress by lite
srgaAic act grants to q Territory the right
of local self-govsrnment. While all Of Its
statutes are subject to review, modiica-
ton or repeal by congress, the Territory
has it's own legislative, judicial and execu-
tive departments, which take c~ognlzance
OF all crimes and ofrensss committed
against the law. The courts have q double
jurisdiction. They sit as Territorial courts
to try cases arising under the Territorial
statutes. They sit as United States courts
to try cases arising under the federal laws.
Thus, If a person be indicted for robbery
or murder, he is tried BY . judge sitting as
Territorial court. IL the offsnse be coun-
terfeiting or robbery of the mails, the same
Judge would sit as a United States court
because such offenses are violations Of fed
sral law. In the former case, IL would
seem proper that the governor Of the Ter.
ritorv would have the power to reprieye or
pardon, while in the latter this power be-
longs to the president. There is nothing
In the statutes which gives to the presi-
dent the right to interfere in o purely Ter.
~ri.orial case. That belongs to the execu-
tive of the Territory, and Its assumption
by the president is wholly beyond the law.
If a president desires q condemned man
to be pardoned or reprieved, he can al
ways secure such result by q request to
the Territorial governor, which request
would always be honored because the
governor is an appointes Of the president.
But that the president has any right to
arbitrarily pardon or reprievs such person
over the head of the Territorial executive
is, to put it mildly, a matter of very grave
doNhk

The same Conclusion.

From the Denver News.
While the delay In the execution OF
the Borrego gang of murderers at
Santa fe was unexpected and unfortu-
nate. 1t Is only natural that the new
president aud bis attorney general
should desire time TO examine the pa
pers. That they will arrive at the
same conclusion that Cleveland and
Attorney General Harmon did, is
scarcely to be doubted.

MONDAY EVENING. MARCH 20, 1897,
AS TO THE

The proposition has been laid down
both by the pulpit and the press, tina
a lawyer who defends a guilty man
knowing him as such, IS a partaker ii
the crime, and the statement is mad
and believed that 20 lawyer will IN
dertake to go into court and defend
man unless that mar has made to hin
q full confession, guilty or innocent al
he may be. 1t is a pity that these
people did not 60 further and explain
how the lawyer was to know whether
the confession of the criminal was full,
and whether the mar who was making
It was telling the truth. Presumably
the statement that every attorney first
hears bis clients side of the story is
true, but it is not necessary to 60 to
facts, o to listen to statements OF
their doipgs by personeSto learn that
people lie, especially when they think
an untruth will help their case, and
that even when they do tell an untruth,
they have alwaystan excuse for their
wrong-doipg. Probably not one man
in ons thousand who commits crime
does SO without some, to him, salts
factory excuse for his act. He is Door,
another man is rich, therefore he steals !;
his passions were too strong to be con
trolled, therefore he is, guilty OF out
rage; he was aDgered to a point where
patience ceased to be a virtue, there
fore he committed murder. These are
all the excuses of criminals, and even
il they tell their story t~ruthfully, they
tell 1t colored with their belief that
they were morally justified in what
they did. The greater number, how
ever, tell untruths, but so plausible
that even the preachers and the news
papers are alike deceived.
II an attorney thinks his client is in
nocent, is 1t not almost q moral duty to
help him prove his innocencep Under
these circumstances, the duty OF the
lawyer would seem to resolve itself into
q very simple proposition. 1t would
become simply a question whether q
lawyer has a reasonable doubt of the
guilt Of his client, and as his client is sure
TO do all he can to create this doubt,
there are very few cases in which 1t
would be morally wrong under any
construction OF the moral code for him
TO defend him.
But even If The lawyer was satisfied
Of the guilt of his client, he still has the
excuse that 1t is no more wrong for
him to take the case than il would be
for o doctor to use his skill In saving q
mans life, regardless OF who or what
the man was. Men are sometimes re-
vived by doctors, a few hours before
they are to be hanged. 1t might seem
to have been more charitable to have
allowed them to die. and no one urges
thatthe physician should inquireinto the
moral character Of bis patient. Sup
pose even the patient IL known 10 be an
|mmoral person, and that The recovery

A PEOPLE or FEW WORDS.

Let your speech be yea, yea, and nay,
nay" says the Good Book, "lor whosoover is
more than these comcth of evil" The
Shakers abide by the spirit Of this rule.
Their words are few, simple sincere and
direct They waste no energy in idle talk
they use il in thinking and doing. And
whatever they do they do with their might
They are content with nothing short of the
essence and principle Of the things they in
vestigate. They take pains and are patient,
And thus the doors Of many strange truths
open to them. In this way they discovered
what may almost be called the unity of
disease. A venerable Shaker says Of 10: 1T
is said that one mans meat is another mans
poison. That is but half the truth. Any
man s meat is any mans poison, under GER
tain conditions If the grain never got
further than the hopper we should never
have bread and if bread never got further
than the stomach we should never have
strength. When the stomach is torpid, help
less and in1amed the food lies ia it and rots.
This fermentation produces poisons which
may, and often do, disorder every other
digestion or dyspepsia with many symptoms
and disguises Cure it and you cure nine
tenths Of your complaints These words
were uttered many years ago. Since then
they have found remedy, now known as
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It is made
from medicinal plants cultivated by them.
It is a food and digests other foods Taken
while eating it rests the stomach and
nourishes the system. The pain and dis
tresses Of dyspepsia disappear before it.
II prevents fermentation and soon restores
full power to the digestion. 1t succeeds in
the worst cases. 1t is worthy the name Of
the people whose name it bears. Any drug
gist will sell you a trial bottle for ten cents

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man offers to Send His Dis
covery Free.
Claims to Be Benefaotor to Weakened
Mankind

There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free but
sometimes a man so OverfoWs with generosity
that he cannot rest until his discovery is
known to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has discovered.
IL is upon this principal that "a resident of
Kalamazoo, Mich, desires to send free TO
mankind prescription which will cure them
of any form Of nervous debility relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs TO natural size and YigOr. As il
costs nothing 10 try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack men
who never stopped to realize what might be
the final result ought to be deeply interested
in remedy which will restore them to
health, strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of untold
misery. As the remedy in question was the
result of many years research as 10 what
combination would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need IL
would seem that all men suffering with any
form Of nervous weakness ought to write for
such q remedy at once. A request to II. c.

that you are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use Of the medicine by giving IL trial
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where Information came from
The prescription is sent free and although
some may wonder how Mr., Olds can afford to
give away his discovery, there is no doubt
about the offer being genuine. Cut this out
and send TO Mr. Olds so that he may know
how you came to write him, l2-28-7st
