PARDONS AND PAROLES.

Result of Governor Durbin's First Half
Year In ONCE.
Gov. Durbin has granted. during the
first six months of his term of ofiire,
about the same number of pardOns, pa
roles and remissions of fine and for
FIXTURES as were granted during the
first six months of Gov. Mounts in
cumbency of office. The number Is
about ~, and most of these have been
paroles and remissiOns. Like Gov.
Mount, Gov. Durbin exercises the par
doning power very spsringly.
The governor is being fairly over
whelmed with visits from persons who
either present new cases for executive
clemency or revive old once. Attempts
have been made recently to secure the
release by pardon or parole of three life
prisoners at Michigan City, but with
out avail Between 80 and POO people
have called on Gov Durbin since the
legislature adjourned, asking for
clemency for friends or relatives that
are in prison. About 100 or 800 ap-
plications for clemency are contained
in the governors file box.

he will not pay the fine, but that he
will lay it out in Jail If such q penalty

Stop Crying Down Plymouth.


The Independent is really surprised
that the Eyeding News would think of
crying down our city as 1t did in its
Saturdays issue. 1t tries to leave the
impression that Plymouth only draws
trade distance of three miles away.
This would be hazardous confession,
if true, but it is not true. Plymouth
draws trade for more than fifteen miles
in some directions. All of West town
ship trades in Plymouth, nearly all of
Polk township, nearly all of North
township, fully half of Union township.
of Center township inhabitants and
nearly half. of Green township. We
get some trade from Walnut, Tippe-
csnee, Bourbon and German townships,
notwithstanding the fact that there
are good towns in each.
This talk Of Plymouth not drawing
i's share of trade is bosh. 1t could get
some more il the merchants would
reach out for it, as they will sooner OF
later. 1t is time that ell newspapers
help to bring farmers here, instead of
encouraging them to trade at the VII
lagos. 1t is to be hoped that the News
will not permit its article to be inserted
in the weekly edition. 1t is certain to
have DAMAGING rQsults if its week lv
