toned upon the reformation of the con-
victs." Just so. Of 1855 he received
good reports. That ls somewhat indefi-
mite, but still let it pass. 1t is better
than nothing at all and that is all that
can be said Of it. He graciously admits
"that in many cases his confidence has
been misplaced" Of course there will
be hypocrits. 70 avoid these We must
needs get out Of the world. 1t does not
do to bear down too hard upon that
kind of thing. But after all the ad-
mission of the governor has fatal look
to it. Justice purchased at the expense
Of the people and at great sacrifice and
cost has been defeated and society Will
suffer. The courta have been discredited
and anarchy has been cultivated and
encouraged. 20 think of it is simply
awful.
In pity for the people, we turn away
from the disagreeable subject. We
would far rather pardon than condemn.
Yes good deaa rather. We honor the
governors mercy, when it does not
override and trampel down justice. lie
in :iden,ly tells us that he has for some
time been trying to recapture some con-
victs, who have been ungrateful. They
are turned loose upon society and no
/, doubt laugh at the governors pardoning
love. He caps the climax by saying:
SIT is worth while being governor just
to see family reunited and the hus-
band started ia the right road after a
misstep that landed in the penitentiary. /"
How tender and loving! Just there is
the danger. A tender hearted governor
may have his emotional sensibilities
wrought up, and make fearful mistakes.
The greatest political philosopher Of the
ages said, 1that we are to seek the
greatest good Of ths greatest number "
We are not to naeltdown into pity for
few and forget the many. Possibly no
one man, no matter how good, should
have such unlimited power. Possibly
we ought to have purdoning board2
What does the legislature think about ite
We do not insist, we simply suggest.
The pardoning power committed to the
governor has gore long way toward
multiplying our courts of justice and has
i the effect of breaking down our grand
judicial system. Just now, when q
spirit of anarchy is abroad in the land,

NEW WAREHOUSE is IN SIGHT
Big Wisconsin Firm is Mentioned as
One Likely to Occupy the
Building.

The prospects OF Council Bluffs securing
another large wholesale agricultural i'm
plement house are Of the brightest, and the
negotiations have proceeded sufficiently far
for the Council Bluffs Warehouse company
to figure on erecting another big warehouse
on implement row.
Those interested in the deal decline to
make any statements at this time, but one
OF the stockholders and officers Of the
Warehouse company is authority for the
announcement that 1t is the Fuller & John
son Manufacturing company OF Madison,
Wis, which is seeking a location In this
city. The company has an once here, and
in fact has maintained one for a number
Of years. but heretofore has done all Of Its
shipping and transfer business through an
other firm.
While little at his time is made public
regarding the intentions Of the Madison
company. 1t is understood that 1t is anx-
Gus to open q large branch house in this
city which 70 a great extent will be sepa-
rate from the main house of the company
in Madison. Wis. II is said that the arm
proposes to establish a branch house here
to be separately capitalized from the home
house; that the company viii take IS per
cent of the capital stock, leaving 40 per
cent to be assumed by either local OF out
side parties. Lucius Wells, formerly a
member OF the arm Of Deere, Wells & Co.,
and one Of the best known implement men
OF the middle west is said to be prominently
interested In the establishment Of the new
house here. It 10 also said that there will
be no difficulty in placing the As per cent
OF the stock necessary to secure the loca-
tion Of this new house in Council Bluffs.
The Council Bluffs Warehouse company
is figuring on two sites for the erection OF
the large warehouse for the proposed new
Arm. One site which the company has In
view is the property on the east side OF
South Main street. formerly occupied by
the Deere. Wells & Co.'s building which
was burned In the winter Of 1895. The
other site is the property directly opposite
on the west side OF the street. Both sites
have hrst-class traekage facilities.
There has been ZONE talk Of another ma
tional bank being established In this city
and report has IL that It will be in opera.
tlon shortly after the beginning Of the new
year. or by next spring at the latest. II II
said that Charles r. Hannah and some o.
his eastern associates are interested In the
proposition and that in the event OF the
bank being established Mr.. Hannah will b.
its president. When asked last evening Mr.
Hannah declined to either deny or confirm
the report but stated he might have some
thing to say later.
