PRESIDENT RUNS HIS OWN CAR.
Relieves the MotOrmnn Who II I'm

Albert Johnson, president of the Mas
sau Electric railroad, of Brooklyn, is
not above operating his own private
car with the regular motorman as an
only passenger. He proved it the other
day when he stood at the motor box
lever of the car from Ninth street to the
bridge.
The railroad officials had OCCASION to
go to New ' ork. His private car was
run out from the shed at Twent-thrd
street and started bridgeward. The
motormaD had failed to provide him
self with good, warm clothing, ard as a
result he shivered and shook OF the
from, platform OF the car until Ninth
street was reached. There, as if seized
with a sudden thought, Mr.. johnson
jumped up from. his richly upholstered
chair i'm the coy car and dashed out on
the platform. .......

the motorman, who attempted to ex-
postulate. But inside he had to 90.
There, seated in the big chair, just
vacated by his employer, lie remained
until the bridge was reached, where Mr..
johnson deserted his post>ut the motor

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1898
M,KINLEX ANDtfPA DoNs.

One OF the things for which Presi-
dent Mckinley will be remembered
is the exercise he has made of the
pardoDing power. During the year
1897 he granted no less than ninety
eight pardons, of which thirteen were
to bank wreckers and embeZzlers.
Among the most startling cases are:
The pardon of Harry ". Kennedy,
who wrecked the National Bank OF
Spring Garden, Pennsylvania, by en-
bez5ling the funds of depositors to
the amount of S250,000; Horace g.
Auis, President of the First National
Bank OF Little Rock, Arkansas, who
wrecked that institution by making
false entries to cover his losses;
Stephen NJ. Folsom, who wrecked the
National Bank at Albuquerque, New
Mexico, by system of falsitied ac-
counts running over several years;
and Francis A. Coffin, who wrecked
the Indianapolis National Bank by
mulctng the depositors to the tune of
100000.
In not one of these cases was it
shown that the convicted persons
were wlongfully accused, but in
every instance the pardon was issued
as a result Of influence or sympathy,
That President Mckinley should
have been thus lepient with this class
of offenders is surely to be regretted.
Few classes of crime are more far
reaching or deplorable in their results
than bunk wrecking. This is SO, pri-
marily for the reason that the
wrecked bank carries with it the saw
ings Of the poorer classes; and, sec
ondly, because it tends to SKATER the
faith of the community in banking
institutions. Again, the man who
wrecks bank has not the plea of pc.
nury with which to mitigate his of.
Tense, as he is, III almost every in
stance, highly salaried and well fed.
Nor can he plead that his trial was
unfair, as he is always in a position,
through rich and influential friends,
to obtain the very best Of legal tai
ent.
These wholesale parGons of bank
wreckers weaken the faith of the peo-
pie in the justice of Government.
They tend to make them feel that
there is discrimination in favor of
wealth, end that the wealthy can I'M
lock prison doors where others can
not. 1t is not well that any such
opinion she uld be allowed to gain
ground if it is not true, but, il it is
true, it is time that the people should
know it .-Sacramento Bee.
