IN CASE OF WAR OVER SAMOA.

Aside from some Incorporate lingo
talk and buster regarding Germany
that has come over the wire from
Washington, there is no disposition in
the United States to take other than
a calm and sensible view of the Sam
oan trouble. Everybody recognizes
the fact that we ought to have kept
out of the mess in the beginning, even
it we had to insist on the division of
the islands to keep each nations claim
separate, but now that we are involved
in trouble up to our eyes, there is a
general desire to get out of it without
any more fuss tina is absolutely neces-
sary to a peaceable and honorable So
luton of the difficulty. Certainly,
there is no reason why the affair
should not be settled automatically
so far as we are concerned, while
most assuredly we want no part in
England's and Germany's quarrel, re-
CARELESS of England's possible anxiety
to involve us in hostinties with Ger
many. England is no novice at such
intrigue.
Germany's attitude is apparently as
reasonable and pacific as could be ask
ed. Evidently there is desire on the
part of the German government to
promote peaceful settlement of the
difficulty, and it stands ready to pun
ish its mischievous representative if
be the case calls for it. Germany's at
titude would certainly seem to fore
shadow peaceful settlement of the
trouble.
Meanwhile, let us see how we stand
prepared to meet the worst AS might
be suspected, England stands the best
prepared to cope with the possible
emergency of war in that quarter. Ac-
cording to a dispatch, the British Ad-
miralty has a number of warships not
far from Samoa, in the Australasian
islands, special design of small
cruiser being used in that locality. The
chief naval station accessible to Sam
GA is on the China coast, where the
Asiatic squadron embraces some of the
largest warships in the British navy.
In number, armament and tonnage,
the British ships on this station far
exceed those of Germany or any other
power The chief German naval sta
ton near Samoa also is on the China
coast, at Kiao Chou. where Admiral
Prince Henry is in command

Although the term of enlistment Of
the 10000 volunteers now in the Phil
ippines expired with the formal term
ination of the war with Spain, and they
are legally absolved from further mil
1tary duty, the government will find
no difficulty ON that account in getting
them to stick at least until their places
are taken by regulars. 1t is true that
the volunteers did not enlist to fight
half civilized naked Asiatics and that
there is nothing inspiring either in the
cause in which they are now fighting
or in the kind of warfare they have
been waging so CALAMITY, but they are
true soldiers of the flag, and so long as
their services are required to uphold
it they will swallow their individual
preferences. There will be no trouble
in securing enlistments for the addi-
tional six months-the time stipulated
for the government to fill their places
with regulars.
1t must be borne in mind that this
will be no small sacrifice on the part of
the volunteers. Most of them entered
the service at considerable sacrifice of
private welfare and convenience and
out of pure patriotism. They are not
professional soldiers and do not desire
to be, and the greatest wish of the
great majority of them now is to re-
turn to their homes, their loved ones
and civil life.
Hence, it will be no inconsiderable
sacrifice on their part to deny them
selves the honorable discharge which
is now legally theirs and to re-enlist
for six months more of this wretched
business of shooting naked savages in
these unhealthful Asiatic islands never
meant for the habitation of white
men.
But the gallant fellows are used to
making sacrifices for their country and
no matter how distasteful the work
they will stick. The government will
suffer no embarrassment on their &C
count.

THE GovERNoR's PARDoNs.

Some important and enlightening ev-
idence is furnished on the subject Of
Gov. Atkinson's numerous pardons of
convictsa matter that has reached
the proportions of scandal-by Sen
ator J. ]. Cornwell. editor of the
Hampshire Review. Senator Cornwell
has taken the pains to make some in
vestigation into the Governors con-
duct in this respect and he it was who
introduced at the late session of the
Legislature resolution calling on the
Governor to submit his pardon record
to that body. A sweet-scented record
II is. The worst kind of criminals,
murderers, and the most hardened
and desperate felons have been turned
loose by the dozen on the community.
Some of these the Governor pardoned
not only without apparent excuse, but

Everybody has made up mis- mind in
regard to the quality of the beef the
soldiers had to eat in Cuba and Porto
Rico or go hungry. Further testimony
on this subject is unnecessary. Suf-
flee it to say that Gen. Miles's charges
have been fully proven. The people are
now chiefly interested in knowing
what the President is going to do about
it. Maybe he will appoint another
commission to make UP his mind for
him.

j political purpose. Here II ! caee Ii
point which We quote from Senator
Cornwell's paper. the Hampshire Re-
View.
Robt Mcdowell, colored man, was
convicted Of burning the dwelling Of Sher-
in Baker Of Jefferson county, and sen-
fenced to life imprisonment in the Peni-
tentiary He had not been there long
enough to learn trade, however. until
Gov. Atkinson pardoned him. Bob as
his political friends affectionately called
him, in their communications to the gov
ernor, was an important worker Cor the
G. O. P. in Jefferson county, and it was
suspected that politics had something or
all to do with his liberation. as neither
the prosecuting attorney nor the judge
who tried him would join N recommen-
dalton for his pardon, as Bob" had con-
fessed his crime, while in jail.
The Governors statements to the
Legislature especially regarding this
case were not satisfactory and the cor
respondence in his possession in regard
to the pardon of Robert Mcdowell was
called for. 1t was not submitted until
the very last moment and was printed
in the House Journal after the close
of the session. OF this correspondence
Senator Cornwell says:
AS was anticipated, it shows that the
pardon was granted for purely political
purposes. Not single person asking for
the pardon for Bob" expressed the faint
est belief that he was innocent of the
crime, but great complaint was made be-
cause the prosecutor had struck Hepub-
lican off the jury the intimation being
that if the Republican had stayed on the
jury he would have acquitted Bob or
hung the jury. For the ed.fcation of our
readers we quote from one letter written
by a prominent Republican. This letter
doubtless did the work:
My second reason for asking for Bob S
immediate release is for party reasons.
Our entire well thinking people, especially
the colored people, are commencing to
complain about our party, and now, as
the election is drawing nigh, I can assure
you that it will be to your own interest,
as well as the party in general, that Bob
be released at once
This is but a sample instance of the
Governors rank abuse of the pardoning
power and carries it's own comment.
1t reveals situation that is scan
dalous in the extreme If there is an
institution in the State that above 9TH
ers should be free from partisan polit-
ical influences it is the administration
of justice and the punishment of GRIM
inals. 1t is monstrous state of af-
fairs when desperate convicts are turn
ed loose upon the community solely
because of the political influence they
WELD. 1t is deliberate subversion of
law and order and not whit behind
anarchy, itself. in it's evil tendencies.
The pardoning power is sacred,
tinged as it largely is with the divine
attribute of mercy, and it's exercise
should be sacredly guarded from other
than the highest motives of justice.
Prostituted to base partisan political
uses it becomes the opposite of what it
was intended to be and menace to the
community as well as a scandalous Of
Tense in the riostrils of the people.
