THE CASE.

The Board OF Pardons has refused
10 turn Patrick Crowley loose upon
society. He committed a cruel. brut-
al murder and should remain behind
the bars ior life. The consideration
OF this ease by the Board ot Pardons
uncovered a good deal OF political
maneuvering. 1t seems from the
evidence presented TO the Board Of
Pardons that Crowley's pardon fig
ured extensively in Storey county
politics in the last campaign. and
shows up Judge Mack in rather an
u~nfarorable light. The evidence rs
published In the Carson News SHOWS
him to have been a friend Of Crow
ley's when he was with Crowley's
friends, and Crowley's enemy when
be was In the camp OF CroTiey's enc
mics. The Judge seems to haye
been god Lord and good devil to
both sides. This is probably all
right from a political point Of view,
but it does not add any lustre to the
ermine or brighten the eyes Of tue
blind goddess. Judge Mack was in
Carson during the proceedings before
the Board OF Pardoas and. although
he had promised the widow Of The
murdered map to be present and op.
pose Crowley's pardon, be did not
appear before the Board.
The Appeal, IN commenting on the
evidence before the Board OF Par
dons, charges that Judge Mack Is the
victim OF political malice. However
this may be, Judge MscE's eOunec-
ton with this case, as disclosed 10y
the evidence, does not inspire any
great amount OF respect. The lNDE-
PENDENT hohes, for the honor Of :he
judiciary and the good came Of Judge
Mack, that the Appeal Is correct.

Belgium, like Holland, is a little king
dom surrounded by powerful states
with mighty armies. tits what is known
as a neutral buffer state between the
two great rivals, Germany and France.
European treaty law has done what 1t
can to protect its territory against inva-
sion from any quarter, but the fate of
Denmark In 1864, when Prussia and
Austria united in attacking 1t, Is warn
ing that the most solemn pledges Of
diplomacy are sometimes wantonly
broken. Belgian policies are identical
with those Of Holland. The kingdom
has no foreign alliances, Is absorbed in
Its own affairs, avoids any occasion for
giving offence to any great power, and
devotes Its energies to the enlargement
of It's commerce. 1t has an empire in
the heart of Africa known as the Kongo
Free State, and it is anxious to bly, the
Canary Islands from Spain and to
strengthen its navy. 1t Is forced to acl
cautiously from fear Of creating i'll
feeling In France, Germany or England.
The King of the Belgians Is one of the
wisest rulers in Europe, and the nation
owes much to his sagacity. He has
travelled widely, and he has used his
eyes wherever he has gone. His one
disappointment, as he is never weary
of telling American ministers in Brus-
sells, Is his inability TO plan long Jour
ney to the United States, at NAV NOT

of the Kongo Free State. Without this
vast project Belgium would have been
inferior 10 Holland as a colonial power
He was ridiculed as royal india-rub-
Der merchant when he starter that
great undertaking, but he was in rea ity
the only far-sighted Belgian. The i'm
portance OF Belgium has been largely
increased and her position in Europe
has been strengthened by her African
possessions. The King Is a man with
capacity for large ideas. His minis
tiers are always frightened by his plans
He is not obstinate, but is ALWAYS will
ing to bide his time. After trying to
substitute projects of their own for
those favored by him, his ministers II u
ally confess that his judgment was bet
ter than theirs. This has happened not
only In the Kongo enterprise, but also
in the recent undertakings for improy.
Ing Brussels and converting 1t into a
handsome, spacious capital. The King
at 6o Is the most useful citizen In Bel

TOMB HOLDING WASHINGTON'S BODY SINCE 1881.

the date of the funeral 1t is intended,
nevertheless, that the observance shall
take the form OF a duplication OF the
funeral services, going over the same
ground as in 1879. So elaborate are the
contemplated ceremonies that already
plans are being put into shape for the
great event. AS Gen. Washington was
Mason, the services over his body were
conducted, in part at least, by the Ma
sons, and so the anniversary services will
be under the direction Of the Grand Lodge
of Virginia, Free and Accepted Masons.
The Grand Lodge will meet in Alexan-
dria, and, escorted by Lodge No. 4 Of
Fredericksburg, in which Washington re-
ceived his first degree; Washington Lodge
No. % Of Alexandria, Of which he was
the first master, and Federal Lodge of
Washington and representatives of every
Grand Lodge in America will go to Mount
Vernon and there repeat the services of
Dec. Is, 1909. 1t is expected that Presi-
dent Mckinley, himself a Mason, will
make an address, end after the ceremonies
> banquet viii be given in Washington.

WASHINGTON a RICH MAN.


Owned Thousands Of Acres of Land
and Stocks and Negroes.
When Washington died he was one OF
the richest men Of his time. He owned
lands and stock and negroes, and his es-
lates amounted TO thousands Of acres. lie
had houses in Alexandria, Va. and prop
erty in Washington. lie had valuable
lands near the present site Of Pittsburg,
lie was throughout his life a money max
er, aud when he WAS 4 boy he got s.
a day and upward for his surveying. He
put his surplus money into lands, and an
advertisement in n Baltimore paper Of
1878 states that he had 10000 acres Of
land for sale on the Ohio river. His will
which is now kept about twenty miles
from Washington, in the safe of the old
court house Mt Fairfax, Va, gives n de-
tailed statement of every article he pos
sesscd down to the calves and sheep. His
personal estate was then put down at
$500 900, and this included vast amount
Of tobacco. large numbers Of cattle, sheep
