PardOns.

The impression prevails in the minds
of some people that pardon removes
the stain upon the record of a con-
victed man who has served time. A
pardon reduces a term of imprisOn-
ment, but so far as the crime is con-
cerned no pardon can wiped that out.
The only way to make offenders
against the law realize that the law is
in earnest is to make them serve the
sentences imposed upon them. There
is too much of disposition to pardon
convicted men after lapse of few
months or a few years, and before
their sentences are served. 1t is just
that weakness upon the part of the
pardoning power that creates a dis
trust for the law and disregard for it
upon the part of those who commit
crime.

Electric Exhibit in Wilmington.

The convention of the National As
sociation of Municipal Electricians,
which will be held in Wilmington,
September 5, 6, aud :, will, without a
doubt, be one of the largest and most
elaborate affairs ever seen there. The
committee of the Board of Trade,
which is making the arrangements for
the meeting of the electricians, and j.
W. Aydon, the president of the associ-
ton, are elated over the success with
which they are meeting, and say the
people of the will have no reason to be
ashamed of what they have to offer
the delegates.

Our estate in the Philippines seems
to have descended to us subject to a
mortgage in favor of the Sultan of
Sulu, or of Jolo, as he is indifferently
called By a treaty with Spain con-
cluded i'll 1878 that potentate was
granted monopoly of the pearl fish
cries and the trade of the Sulu archi-
pelagO, and was given control of the
local administration of the islands.
He also became entitled to an annual
subsidy from Spain, in return for
which he agreed to fly the flag of his
suZerain and cooperate with the latter
in maintaining order and suppressing
piracy. 1t is proposed by the Federal
Administration to continue relations
with the Sultan on the basis of his
treaty with Spain, and ten thousand
Mexican dollars have been sent him
on account of his overdue annuity.
Since the Sultan is a despOt, and the
Mohammedan law prevailing in his
dominion permits slavery, it will be
extremely interesting to note the
means whereby the Administration
will endeavor to square the system O1
government in the Sulu Archipelago
with our Federal constitution.

The report of Auditors John H.

condition of New Castle County
finances, shows that the issue of
$3.50, 900 worth of bonds in 1897 was

time was little over $66,0OO, and the
balance of the money, it is said, has
been applied to meet current expenses
to prevent an increase in the tax rate

election in Delaware Hundreds OF

be the nominee of that party at th'

cured before the skin becomes clean.

the complexion and healing diseases

Halibut in Alaskan Waters.

Washington special Minneapolis Journal. One of the most remarkable things on the North Pacific coast is the large number of halibut in Alaskan waters. Small steamers catch .cargoes in a few hours time, and it is no strange thing to see a hundred thou sand pounds caught in from two to three days. Last month an Ameri- can steamer on her way to Tacoma had l93,000 pounds of halibut caught off the Alaskan coast in three and a half days by eighteen men.

The FOurth's Casualties,

The Chicago Tribune attempted to
compile list of Fourth of July cas-
ualties, and published the result of
returns received from 25O cities and
towns throughout the United States.
These returns showed 33 killed and
l,73O wounded, with fire loss aggre-
eating S233.060. OF course it would
be impossible to obtain within so
short time anything like a complete
report OF the casulties throughout the
United States and yet\the showing
made is startling, when compared
with our casualties in the Philippines.
According to the latest figures the
mum Der of soldiers killed in the Phil
ippines since the 9th Of last Augusta
period covering IL months, was 200.
The number of wounded for the II
months was 1900 or go less than the
number wounded in one days cele-
bration. The number of wounded,
killed, captured and missing in the
Philippine campaign up to date is
1882 as compared with 176O killed and
wounded on the Fourth. Ir it we're
possible to obtain complete returns
it is altogether likely that the casul-
for the Fourth would exceed those of
the Philippines.
The most valuable thing about the
Fourth Of July statistics comes out in
the analysis, which shows that the
cannon tirecracker was responsible
for just one-half of the accidents.

A Close Call.

A correspondent writing from Vir-

story:
In prosecution for horse stealing,
tried in Bedford county, Virginia,
just after the war, the evidence was
conflicting, and, as usual, the attor-
ney for the prisoner obtained from
the court all instruction that the pris-
oner was entitled to a reasonable
doubt. The jury retired and after
they had been out about two hours
and a half:the dinner hour arrived.
The Judge sent the sheriff to ask il
jury were likely to agree. The an
swer came @yes." The court waited
until about 8 o'clock in the afternoon
and again sent to see il the jury we're
likely to agree. Again came the af-
firmative answer. Supper time came
with no jury. Once more the sheriff
made his pilgrimage to the jury room
and returned with the same reply.
Lights were procured and about 9
o'clock the jury filed in with their
verdict, which the court read solemn
ly: awe, the jury, find the defendant
not guilty by damn tight squeeze"
Upon the first ballot the jury had
found the prisoner not guilty, but one
map hung the jury for IL hours on
the addendum, @damn tight squeeze

COnklings Manner.

The Washington correspondent of
the Detroit Journal publishes the
following story told to him by Senat-
or Hanna, Of Conkling's visit to Gar
field at Mentor, in the winter Of 1880:
"Lord, Conkling looked upon all
those persons as children. He
lowered above them all. Perhaps he
was not much taller, but he was 80
stiff and straight and magnificent.
He made every thing around that
Garfield place look as stiff rs though
it were nailed fast. You know what
q pleasant honey sort OF place the
Garfield house was? Just like the
home on big farm, nothing more.
The only time that he unbent was the
time Mr.. Garield's mother was pres
ent. My, but things were formal. He
paid attention to me as he would to
the driver OF a hack. / had promised
to get him back to town by 3 o'clock
He asked me about the time several
times. That seemed to be the only
thing on his mind. A rainstorm came
up and he got really nervous. We
waited till it Stacked up little, and
then sent those horses to the station
as fast as the wind. | went to the
engineer and told him l was q ruined
man il the train stopped in town a
second after three. The engineer he.
roically saved my reputation. Never
saw train go faster. As he got out
Of the tram showed him my watch.
With the slightest unbendlng Of his
head, he said Your are man OF
your word
