The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record recently had a
letter devoted to the pardons issued
by President Mckinley and found that
he had not issued as many as President
Cleveland did in the same period of
time. but as those issued by Mr..
Mckinley had been made public while
those issued 10y Mr.. Cleveland had
been kept secret, there was much
more talk about Ir. McKinley's par
dons, especially the pardons issued TO
yioiators of the National banking law.
Mr.. Mckinley has pardoned fourteen
persons who were convicted Of violet
ing the national banking law, while
during the same period Of time Mr..
Cleveland pardoned nineteen. There
were good reasons given for each par
don, but it is probable considerable
SGprise VIII he expressed when people
read the records presented to the
president on which the various par
d0ns were issued. The following is
the record Of S. NJ. Folsom the Albu-
querQue bank wrecker, which is, to
say the least, interesting; Stephen NJ.
Folsom, of New Mexico, who was con-
victed OF making false entries in the
books Of a national bank, was pardoned
on the ground that his oGense was
merely a technical violation of the law
and did not result in any injury or loss
to the bank or to any person whatever
nor in any benefit to him. He obtain
ed a loan Of several thousand dollars
from a bank in Kansas City, and upon
Geographic notice that a certificate
for that amount bad been mailed, he
Immediately, and without waiting for
its arrival, entered it upon his books
as cash 10 hand. 1t was also shown
that his prosecution was inspired by
spite and "a desire for vengeance, and
that he was convicted at a time of
great public excitement after the
failure OF the bank. When shown
that he had violated the law he plead
ed guilty and was sentenced to the
heaviest penaley. The same people
who were most active in securing his
trial and conviction were foremost in
petitloning for his pardon because
they believed he was suffering from
injustice on their %sccount. His par
pom was recommended by the Judge
who tried his case, the district attorn-
ey and ten OF the twelve jurors.

Many Of the Arizona papers have
been taking a whack at the live stock
sanitary board of that territory for its
alleged derelictions In enforcing the
law relative to the brands of cattle.
The board has pleaded that so mach
work was forced upon it by the law
requiring all brands to be registered
IN its Office that 10 could not keep IN
with its business, but that as soon as
the rush was over there would be no
further trouble. A New Mexico cat
tleman has bad a round with the board
and now he thinks he has a kick COM
Ing. His range is not far from the
line, and as cattle might occasionally
stray across be thought he would
treat the Arizona law fairly and regis
ter his brand in that territory. He
sent in the necessary money several
months ago. Last week he received
notice from the board that his brand
was rejected, because it conficted
with a brand already registered. In
It's letter the board got his brand
placed wrong. 1t is on the left ribs
OF the cattle, the board had it on the
right ribs. At the same time there
was returned to him a claim he had
made for one Of his steers sold by an
inspector at Huacruca, which was re-
jected because the brand conflicted
with another brand already registered.
He wrote to the board and told it
what his brand properly was, and told
the board thai if the steer sold at
Huachuca bore his brand he wantcd
the money for it. lie also asked the
board who had a brand with which
his conilicted. II" promptly received
a letter from the board which simply
answered his letter by giving the
name of the man who owned the con-
licting brand, saying he lived near
Globe, and saying that the board had
refused TO pay him for this particular
steer, as it was so far from his range
II could not belong to him. The cat
tie mar is now wondering who will
get the money received for this steer.
The man who owned the steer cannot
get it, neither can the man who owns
the brand the steer bore. If the
money for all strays is paid in this
and the balance divided up
among the members OF the board the
PROBABILITIES are that it is a fat thing to
be a member of that board and it is
not surprising the Arizona push is
after an appointment on the board.

there would be a good chance to take
