A NOVEL IDEA.

There is TO be a great Irish fair in
istic character thirty-two tons OF
earth from Ireland has been brought
over to cover the floor of the pavilion
that those who attend may indeed
incident is found in the exemplifica-
ton of the fact of attachment to SOIL
which is the root of patriotism.
Neither poet, historian nor philoso-
pher has been able to give full and
satisfactory explanation of the attach
rnent men feel for the soil of their birth
and childhood. no matter how uninvit-
ing the land may be to others, how
sterile, bleak and uncharitable. This
intense devotion, amounting almost to
worship of the soil of the land of birth,
Characteristic Of all peoples, but is
not so enthusiastically manifest among
any as the Irish born. Their love for
the sod of Ireland appears to amount to
a worship. 1t is consecrated in their
hearts as a holy thing. something to
cherish, honor and adore.
Pity, is it not, that the Irish of Chi
eago who have conceived and effected
the novel scheme of covering a fair
pavilion with the real soil of the Emer-
aid Isle, could not have overcome i'm
possibility and have transported one
of the famous lakes of Ireland to this
country, OF perhaps some of the crags
and hills of that fated land.

aIAKlNG AMERICAN CITIZENS.

In no country on the face of the globe
is it so easy to become a citizen or a
subject as in this. One must reside in
England five years before applying to
be made subject, and the matter is
then eft to the arbitrary judgment of
a department. France and Denmark
each require ten years residence, while
Germany presents so many obstacles
and SO few inducements to citizenship,
that few aliens apply for it.
Yet in one-third Of the States of the
American Union an alien is permitted
TO vote upon formally declaring his in
tention to become citizen, and in
some Of these States no more than a
six-months' residence is required be-
fore claiming this high privilege. 1t
was established not long ago before a
Congressional Committee that In many
cases where a. vote is permitted upon
declaration of intention, the alien re-
turns TO his European home and never
resumes his residence in the United
States.

larities and carelessness under which

THE PARDONING POWER

The Portland "Oregonian' conmends
Governor Lord warmly for refusing to
commute the sentence of Porter, the
murderer, because the Governor con-
siders executive clemency a public trust
ana not private prerogative. OF
course the Governor should be praised
Tor taking this stand if duty doing is
ever to be commended.
! The power to pardon, to reduce the
severity of a sentence, to stop an ex-
| ecution, is not given to any Governor
| to be exercised upon whim or senti-
menf, or to crafty ambition on the one
hand, or satisfy timorous soul on the
other. We recall one Governor of Cal
| lfornia who pardoned a murderer, and
among other reasons recited as cause,
''In mercy to myself" So far as that
cause operated it was an unworthy
one, and not contemplated in the be-
stowment of the power. Governor
Lord is right beyond all question when
he holds that to exercise official Glenn
ency from private motives, or as a
personal favor, or from emotional con-
sideratons, after a criminal has been
convicted, loOsens the safeguards of So
ciety and endangers its we'll being, as
we'll as thwarts the administration of
justice, and brings its judgments into
contempt.
This action and comment by Governor
| Lord affords the Portland "Oregonian"
| opportunity to compare them with the
| acts and declarations of Ex-Governor
| Pennoyer and very much to the dis
credit Of the latter. But that is of
no outside interest, save so far as the
policy of Governor Pennoyer may serve
| to point a moral and the "Oregonian"
assures us, that his policy was to treat
the pardonfng power as personal pre-
rogative TO be exercised capriciously,
arbitrarily or whimsically as he might
| choose.
The pardoning power must not be re-
voked. 1t is necessary and must be
reposed somewhere. But it should
never be used as a thing of personal
privilege. We have too much of that
sort Of thing, when as was done by one
Executive a man was pardoned that he
might go home to Thanksgiving din
ner; as in another case, where a fellow
was given freedom simply and solely
| because his wife was an invalid and
needed his care; and in another because
his daughter was sick; and in another
where it was recited as cause that the
family needed the earning capacity of
the convict to enable it to live decently
The ''Oregonian' we'll says, in this
connections:
This easy good nature in the exer-
else Of public powers OF clemency on
the matters of life and liberty for mur-
derers and robbers is so common in all
sections of the country, and movements
for pardon are SO secretly organized,
that the comparatively new Constitu-
ton Of Mississippi prohibits the issue
of a pardon for felony, as well as a
Communication of sentence, until the ap-
plication for such pardon shall have
been published thirty days in some
newspaper in the county where the
crime was committed, and requires that
the petition thus published shall set
forth the reasons why the pardon is
asked. A rule Of this sort ought to
be made in every State.

To what sore resort the journal is
pushed that has to plunge into false
hood to eke out a sensation. Here now
are some of the radical free coinage pa
pers circulating the stupid invention of
some rascally sensational journal, that
etary Commission we sant to England
is, that just as the British were about
to agree to something that would re-
habilitate silver, President Mckinley,
fearing that the commission would be
a success, instructed ambassador Hay
to secretly express to the British Cabi-
net that really and truly the United
States Government did not wish any
bimetallism, but was "only making a
play to satisfy the free coinage cranks' -
It is added that thereupon the British
Secretary politely acceded, and an
nounced the refusal of the British Cab
met. The story is so silly that it is
astounding that any reputable journal
would give it place in printed column
one moment that the President of the
United States would be a party to any
such transaction, and thus put himself
at the mercy of foreign diplomats? Who
believes for a second that the British
Ministry would be party to any such
trickery, or that merely to oblige Presi-

for radical reform.
The system obtaining in sixteen
States of the Union under which one
may vote who simply files his declara
tion of intention, is wrong. There is
nothing to be said in defence of it that
is at all tolerable. 1t permits aliens to
take part in molding Government and
it's policies who have no permanent
concern in the country, and have not
proved that they entertain any abiding
love for, or faith in American institu-
tions. Indeed, our whole method of
making citizens out of aliens is at
loose ends, and demands severe correc-
ton, and that any amount of stiffening
be put into it.
