L. f. Libbey is Pardoned.

L. E. Libbey, the self-confessed
horse-thief who was sentenced in the
district court at this place last May to
serve a term OF two and half years in
the penitentiary, was released from
prison Tuesday afternoon upon = par
don signed by Governor Thomas.
Libbey's application for pardon was
acted upon favorably Monday night by
the state board of pard0ns. Governor
Thomas, an ex-otficio member of the
board, recommended that Libbey's at
torneys first apply to the supreme
court for writ of supersedeas, failing
to secure such writ the governor
stated that he would then sign the
pardon. The supreme court refused
to grant a writ Of supersedeas and
Governor Thomas Immediately grant,
ed an unconditional pardon. In the
language of our esteemed cOntempOr-
airy, The Denver Post, wouldn't that
jar you! The spectacle OF the COVER
nor Of the great state Of Colorado
granting a pardon to self-confessed
horse-thief, accepting as true the per-
iured evidence Of this horse-thief in
his application for pardon, and ignor-
ing entirely the record of an honorable
district court and the testimony
VI uaAhSAoAo iSsPSSoApiS SlUlACus
against granting the pardon, such a
spectacle is appalling. OF what use
are our courts Of law and their honor
ed officers when their acts are over
ridden in this high handed and arbi-
trary manner? Do not such acts by
the highest executive officer of our
state place premium on lawlessness?
Knowing that he can easily obtain
pardon II caught and convicted of his
crimes, the cattle rustler pursues his
villainous occupation unrestrained by
fear of punishment. A few months In
the penitentiary, then a pardon from
the governor, and then freedom to en-
joy the results Of his numerous rob-
berries. The act of Governor Thomas
and the board of pardons in releasing
L. E. Libbey from prison is an unjus-
tifiable and vicious slur upon our dis
trict court and the citizens of our
county. 1t smacks Of jobbery of the
most disgraceful sort

Government expert, the population was 64,403,-
600, but year later, and after over 100000
increase, the census made ii smaller by about
100000.
Because the year closes a century and for
many practical reasons well 1t is most de-
sirable that the census of 1900 should be not
only as accurate as possible, but so conducted
as to command public confidence in the high
est d, rec. That it will be so conducted there
is now every reason to hope. The calculations
of business in many departments have now
come to depend not little upon a correct idea
of the population and its rate of increase. 1t Is
no longer for the qualification of curiosity or
sentiment only, nor yet merely as basis for
Congressional apportionment, that an accurate
knowledge of the population Is required. But
it is only less important to obtain just con-
ception of the Nations increase in wealth and
of its progress in the various industries. In
that respect the census of 1900 ought to be by
far the most important ever taken

traordinary amount of funds advanced on stocks
active in speculation, and particularly on stocks
or industrial companies as collateral or in con-
nection with the promotion and financing OF
those companies No one suppOses that the
business world was dependent upon the success
or these speculative operations or the continu-
ance of these loans. There was deep feeling
of satisfaction in legitimate business circles
when the extensive liquidation in such stocks
gave promise OF less dangerous situation.
Full and frank as it was, the reply of the
Secretary does not make it clear that the de-
posits which operated to arrest this liquidation
and TO permit a new speculative rise in the In
dustrial stocks were necessary to the public well
fare. They have in fact helped to revive in the
new year the uncertainty resulting from wild
fluctuations in such stocks. While the money
holds out, excessive speculation will absorb
more and more of it, and experience has not
taught that relief from the difficulty comes
through feeding the fire. 1t is altogether pOssi-
bic that the Secretary was so Informed that he
believed legitimate trade and manufacturing in
real embarrassment for want of available funds,
but all the best trade journals and financial
writers agreed with "The Financial Chronicle
in stating that such interests had been suft1-
ciently supplied, and were not in trouble.
The wisdom of the course pursued cannot be
adequately judged without taking account of
its influence upon public opinion. Secretary
Gage is far too experienced and sagacious not
to realize that a good cause may sometimes be
damaged more by kindling mistaken prejudice
or unfOunded suspicion than in any other way.
1t is obvious now that opponents of the Admin
istratiOn and its financial aims have chosen to
stir up excitement about public deposits with
some of the National banks, because they think
popular feeling can thus be created against
measures which the Secretary favors. The sus-
piciOn of favoritism in the Treasury or the
POstOffice Department may be met in the most
conclusive way without removing the mischiev-
Gus impression produced. 1t largely be-
cause the policy of making deposits with the
banks to help the money market sure to
create suspicion of partiality that Secretary
Window argued earnestly against that course.
Not even the warmest friend of Secretary Gage
can doubt that the cause of sound money has
been hindered rather than advanced by the
questions raised within the last month, and
meanwhile it may fairly be doubted whether
the business world has been really aided.
New-York tribune., 1900-01-15
MONEY AND BUSTEESS.

1t has been said for years that the Sugar COM
pany earned its dividends in Wall Street. To
trick speculative flats who think themselves
sharps into buying just when insiders want to
sell costs only fairy stories of settlements that
do not settle and earnings that are never divided.
Similarly it is easy to induce the public to sell
when the insiders ready to buy, and costs
less than boiling sugar. When Mr.. Havemeyer
breaks his accustomed silence and tells the whole
world that the sugar is likely to affect divi-
dends 1t must of course be inferred that his
we'll known benevolence leads him to sacrifice his
private interests. Sellers at 1881 the day before
and buyers at 112H the day after he spoke
doubtless both confident in the superiority Of
their inside information when the stock closed
at 1867. But this is chiefly the kind Of "bus-
ness which easier money has promoted, for ex-
cept in speculation there was no real embarrass-
ment in December.
About half the entire transactions of the week
were in Sugar and three other trust stocks and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. The street roads de-
clined and the industrals, good and bad, aver

while the remaining railroad stocks also declined

partly because European spectators are still

by telegraph, ''25OO00 shares short in the Ameri-
department. the reliance upon unlimited
supplies abroad for deliveries may one day prove
mistaken but the reduction in rates of interest
by foreign banks shows that they regard their
point of danger past. Here large sums come
from the interior, though throughout the coun-
try more was being done in commerce and in
dustry than year ago.
