EXECUTIVE cLEMENcY.

Next to the ways of Providence in
Observation-Disclosures not otherwise bear
ing even distant resemblance-are
the ways of executive clemency. Juries
propose, but Governors dispose, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal:
A jury may be depended upon as a
rule to have all of the milk of human
Kindness that is needed to prevent
justice from lacking the quality of
mercy, and very few defendants are
too severely dealt with by their peers.
But compared to a Governor the aver
age jury is hard-hearted. The execu-
tive journals of all the States bristle
with entries showing that Governors
have stultified the law by granting par
dons in cases where the crimes were
SO atrocious and the guilt of the GRIM
inal so plain that juries found unani-
nous verdicts without wasting time
and superior courts upheld them with
out wasting words.
Executive Journals rarely contain a |
full confession of the executive rea-
sons for pardoning atrocious crimi-
nails. and it is usually profitless to
the sufficiency of the reasons
given without having reliable infor-
nation as to the real causes behind
the clemency of a Governor. But

TIE LOCKWOOD CASE.

Says the Knoxville Journal and Tri
bune:
An unusual step in temperance leg
islation has been taken at the instance
of Mayor Asbury Wright, of Rock
wood, Tenn. An ordinance has been
passed which forbids railroads, ex
press companies or common carrier
of any kind from delivering intoxicat.
ing beverages in lockwood. The rail-
road has chosen to observe the law
and lockwood is dry
This piece OF municipal legislation
has been watched with no small
amount of interest. 1t is very proba-
BILE that II the railroad does not con-
test the lockwood case that other
towns in the State will follow the lead
of lockwood in an effort to secure
what Gov Patterson denied when he
vetoed the anti-jug bill.
Mayor Wright, of lockwood, is at
torney for the Cincinnati, New Or
leans & Texas Pacific Railroad, one of
the roads which touches lockwood.
The Southern also reaches lockwood,
but since both roads are Southern
Railway property, there may be some.
thing of a courtesy toward their at
torney in declining to accept ship |
ments of liquor to lockwood. 1t is |
also likely that the railroads will not
care to take the initiative in the mat
ter anyway and If there is to be any
contest of the legality of the Rock
wood ordinance it will have to be
inaugurated by the liquor dealers
themselves"
The railroads will doubtless wait for
some liquor dealer to start the pro-
ceedings to test the law Some how
or other, it may be safe to say, the law
will be contested. But Hon. Asbury
Wright, who is said to be one of the
foremost lawyers of his section Of the
state, has given the question very
thorough investigation and close
study, and he says the law will stand.
City Attorney VOORHEES, has copies Of
the laws in his hands, and letter
from Mr.. Wright, giving his reasons
and references, and Mr.. VOORHEES,
thinks the law will stand and will sub
NIT his opinion to the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen at their next meeting.
