CONDITIONAL PARDONS.

The new law with reference to the
granting of conditional pardons of peni-
tertiary conyicts has not yet been put
into practical operation. Delay has been
caused by reason of certain obscurities
in the act of Assembly, as to which it was
necessary that the Board of Directors of
the penitentiary should consult the Attor-
ney-General of the State That gentle
man has had the matter under advisemcnt
for some time. but so busily has he been
engaged upon other public business he
has not had time to write out his opinion.
But, meanwhile, we suppose, friends Of
convicts who hope TO receive the recon-
mendation of the Board of Directors of
the penitentiary are arranging to fulfl
the indispensable requisite for the boards
recommendation. by giving assurance that
If pardoned the applicants will be able
TO secure work which will enable them to
earn honest livings.
Everywhere the conditional pardon sys-
tenn is in force this requirement is firm
ly adhered to. The pardonng power
would not be justified in turning loose
upon the community prisoners who are
without means and without the hope OF
securing honest employment. And this
general rule will be strictly enforced here.
Friends of convicts who hope for eXecu-
tive clemency would. therefore, do well TO
give this matter their first consideration.
Where convict cannot produce the as
surance of reputable citizens that ar
rangements have been made for him to
get honest employment as soon as he is
discharged, he might as well not file his
application for conditional pardon. The
Board of Directors of the penitentiary
has 10 right TO impose conditions, but the
Governor has, and it is understood he VIII
in no instance grant pardon without re-
ceiving very positive assurances upon that
point.

nov. WILLIAM e. GLADSTONE.

No statesman of this century has re-
ceived larger share Of the admiring at
tentioh Of the world than Hon. William
T.. Gladstone, whose death is announced
this morning. And from many stand
points no statesman of the century has
more pre-eminently deserved such a tri-
butte His political career of siXty-odd
years was not one of consistency as to
party lines. He commenced his public
life as a pronounced and ardent Tory.
He ended 1t as an advanced and equally
ardent Liberal. 1t has been said of him
by his political opponents that in the in
term he boxed the English political
compass" None the less he embodied
more than any other man the spirit of
British progressive democracy, was the
head and front of British legislative re-
form, and will stand primus inter pares
as a maker of the parliamentary history
of the Victorian era.
Mr.. Gladstone was a man of broad cul-
ture, of high literary attainments. and of
wonderful personal magnetism. He was
q profound student of the policies and
politics of the nations, and Of the science
of craftsmanship. This equipment was
added to a splendid intellect. capable of
making the best use Of it. Yet, said one
of his biographers writing in 1880 for
popular magazine, mot intellectual fer

find a memorable or quotable saying amid
the million-worded Niagara Of eloquence
with which he has deluged England. This
IS true, but it Is equally hard 10 find a
speech of his, especially in the last thirty
years, that is not vibrant with the living
lightning of a lofty morality eager to diff

A review of Gladstone's career sus-
tains this contention as to the secret of
his great power and success. There were
changes OF IiOhl anu ANN~ii'"''"'i' ~ mo

the presence of the force and the inspira-

from the suspicion of having been
prompted by selfish ambition and dema-

both. but the charge would never lie.
Guarded by the confidence of the masses

that in its purposes his political course

THE CONGRESS OF CHIEFS.
Major Howard Tells What IL Accom-
plished.

Chief-of-Police Howard has returned
from Milwaukee, where ne had been in
attendance upon the National Convention
of Chiefs Of Police.
The main subject discussed was the
Berullon system of measuring criminals
which is i'm operation in all the prominent
cities of the country. The headquarters
from which this system is operated is To-
Gated i'm Chicago and the annual dues
are, FOR a city the size of Richmond. $50
while the paraphernalia will cost 500.
Chief Howard said at the meeting that
he would like to have the system in
Richmond but could say nothing definite.
because of the lack of funds. This sys-
TEN is the measurement of the Joints of
the body, and its efficacy exists i'm the
fact that these are never affected bv

Chief Howard was treated most cor.
daily while at the convention and had a
splendid time. There were ninety-elght
chiefs Of police in attendance upon the
convention. The officers are: President.
Chief Jansen, of Milwaukee: Vice-Presf

aENERAL GRANrs son.

Colonel Frederick Dent Grant is now
commandant OF the Fourteenth New
York Regiment. As such. he Is credited
with having had private soldier strip
ped OF his uniform and put out OF camp,
because the soldier begged TO be allowed
ito go home to visit his dying mother"
and threatened 10 resign when leave
was refused. That wag before the men
were mustered in.
III the Colonel had been satisfied. after
inquiry. that the man was taking"
there would be some justification for his
course. But even then he would better
have exposed the fellows deception and
left him TO be punished by the public
opinion OF the camp. But without any
fort OF investigation Grant had the man
oisgraced. though he could not take away
from him the sympathy of his fellow
soldiers.
These United States are in no such
peril as calls for that sort of self-sacri-
flee which Grant seems to expect OF
his men. The soldiers mother was really
dying. and as he was trusty man he
should have been furloughed for few
days. Or. If the exigency of the service
was such as not to justify the granting
OF furlough, Grant should have ex-
planned the situation TO the applicant.
Our volunteer soldiers expect discipline
to be maintained. No good soldier wishes
TO belong to an undsciplined regiment
but neither does he wish to belong to a
regiment commanded by heartless men.
