THE PARDONING POWER.

Great Falls Leader: We believe that
the pardoning power should be greatly
circumscribed and should only be al
lowed in extreme cases where new evil
dence is presented showing the inno-
cence of man, or new facts make their
appearance showing that he has re-
ceiVed too severe a sentence. These
facts should be we'll defined and should
be passed upon by men who are not
state officers and who are not liable to
be influenced by pressure brought from
political sources. In fact thinking the
whole thing over, it is reasonable that
the pardoning power should be confined
entirely to cases where new evidence is
presented. All punishments of prison
ers should fit the crimes committed, and
to allow number of prison commits
sioners, years afterward, to commute
the sentences imposed, seems a foolish
performance, and is often used as an
excure for the commission of crimes
A man is not deferred from the commits.
sion of crime when he knows that he
has influential friends and that he will
only have to serve a few years in PEN
itentiary and be then released.

THE SHIPPING BILL.

If any thing can insure the
success of the shipping sub
sidy bill. it will be the an
,nounccment that Allen. But
Ter and PettigreW of the
United States senate have
agreed to talk the bill to
death. The populist senators
are not so popular in this
country at present that they
can afford to try to dictate
to the rest of the senate what
legislation that body shall or
shall not pass. They will
make a bad political mistake
when they give Senator Han
ma chance to pose as a mar
tyr to populist plot. AS
matters stand, there are sew
eral of the most influential
republican senators who are
thoroughly angry over the
way in which Mr.. Hanna has
appeared to order the repub-
licans to support his measure.
This anger has not cooled
any since the Ohio senator
has limited that he will have
an extra session of congress
called. if necessary, to pass
the bill. If the populist SEN
ators merely keep quiet and
allow the republican leaders
to manage the matter, the
bill will have less chances of
success than it would have
if Allen. Butler and Petit
grew We're to try openly to
talk it to eath.-Boston Ad-

PUNISHMENT FOR klDNAPtRS.

One of the first laws passed
by the legislature should be
one providing adequate pun
ishment for kidnappers The
Nebraska law on that point
is woefully weak, and it is
doubtful whether the abduc-
tors of young Cudahy could
be given anything more than
a Jail sentence if captured
and convicted. For such II
crime the greatest possible
punishment should be pro-
Vided. for it is a crime of
the blacklist kind. The Cud-
ahy case will doubtless be
followed by similar cases I'M
less promptly prevented by
informing criminals of this
description that the punish
ment will be swift and GER
tain. The crime of kidnap-
ing should be put in the
same category as the crime
of murder. Men or women
found guilty of kidnapping
should be either hanged or
imprisoned for life. at the
discretion of the jury. That
is the punishment provided
for murderers by the Ne
braska statutes. and nothing
less should be provided for
kidnapers.- Omaha World

CLAIMS AGAINST CUBA.

Attention is called to the
fact that there are serious
pecuniary claims against
Cuba on the part of people
of Germany, France and
Great Britain, with which
that government will have to
deal if the island attainS to
itself independence. Suppose
this latter state of affairs is
reached, and Cuba gets into
conflict as regards these
claims, there may tnen be
another complication in which
the United States will be
called upon to interfere, and
perhaps involve itself in diff
ficulties with European ma
tions. If she holds Off, Cuba
may find herself in a bad way
to effect a settlement In any
case, there is likely to be a
further gravitation of the ISL
and toward union with this
country. If the Cuban con-
vention to form a government
