Gov. Heard will not 20 down in
history as Louisiana's "pardoning
Governor. He has exercised this
prerogative less than any chief
magistrate in recent years. Gov.
McEnery's theory was that the
pardoning board relieved him OF
responsibility and that he was
justified in approving their recon-
menlations. Gov. Foster reserved
the right to pass upon and deter
mine the justice Of every applica-
tiont while our present Governor
has been more sparing in the exer-
else Of this privilege than either Of
them. Last year he pardoned six
teen Of those recommended. When
it is known that in two years Gov
ernor Shaw Of Iowa pardoned 470
persons, the Heard pardoning mill
seems to be on a strike and ont OF
business.
OF the recent batch forwarded to
him he has approved but two rec
concentrations. He approved the
pardon of William Travis, con.
victed nf manslaughter in st. Ber-
nard parish, and sentenced 10,
twelve years, because it was shown
that he did not commit the crime.
He approved the application Of
james Defee, convicted of man,
slaughter in Union, and sentenced
for twelve years, he having served
a sufficient portion of his sentence
to pay the penalty Of his crime,
and because the prison physician
certified that Defee was dying o.
consumption.
Gov. Heard has certainly stood
for the law and the enforcement O.
its mandates.
While he has not refused to exer
else the pardoning power, he hal
exercised 1t with scrupnlons car,
aud with due regard to the de
mands Of jnstice. A drocate.

MINING MERCURY.
There Are but Three Sections of the
World Where 1t Is Found.

Washington Post: Mining for morcu-
~. or, rather for cinnabar ore. from
which mercury is extracted. Is a most
interesting process. remarked Thomas
j. Young. Of Louisville. Ky, last evening
There are ONLY three sections in the
world in which mercury has been found
thus far-Spain. Austria and in our own
state of California These yield the
worlds supply. The Amedan mines OF
Spain arc the oldest mines known. hav-
ing been successfully worked 400 years
before Christ. They are extremely val
uable. aud, despite the lone years of
operations, are still yielding vast guam
titles of ore. In fact, THESE same Anne
dan mines form the basis of Spain s
credit. being owned by the government.
and it was by givins a mortgage on them
TO the Rothschilds that funds were real
tied to carry on the late war
THE California mines are only begin
nina, TO yield the vast product stored up
vvithin them They have received the
name. New Almedan, and promise to
prove equally, if not more, valuable than
the Spanish mines. An idea of their I'M
mense value may be gained from the fact
that they are yielding dividend Of ! per

Use much higher profits. They are located
about 10 miles northeast of san Fran
cisco in the coast range mountains.
Mercury, or cinnIbar ore-whch has
also vein Of sulphur IN it's mined vir-
t,IaEv like coal Shafts are sunk, from
which levels are run off. The ore Is
found in what are termed fissure veins,
which run down far into the bowels Of
the earth. The ore itself IS light in color,
moderately hard and may be picked out
In small chunks. I is found in Kidneys
or pockets. sometimes in large quantities.
"A curious and simple process, and one
to my mind quite ingenious. is employed
10 extract the mercury from the crude
ore The chunks Of ere are placed in
large furnaces heated To go degrees

TWO STANDARDS OF MORALS.


Argument IS necessary TO convince an intel

morals-one FOR man. another for woman. fhat
for man is liberal liberal In the broader sense
Of the word. II gives him latitude. True he

Not so with woman. When once she falls
IN the street society wants her more.
When her llps are soled with profanity. the
brand mark is put upon her ami she is shun-
ned When her feet wander from the path OF
virtue, she is forced 70 dwell with the Outcast
and her doom is forever fixed. Is II right
that woman should be dealt with rigidly
ami man So lenienty? Is it right to magnify
crime ia one and mnlfy crime In the other?
Society says yes, and society is not So Iar
wrong as one would think when first he

with man too easily and not that Of fixing
different standards Harsh as II may sound,
we make bold to assert that there should be
two codee-that the stric;er should be for

crime in woman is greater than the same
crime in man. II Is greater because Of her
