We are told by cur correspondent that among
the subjects on which the conference unani-

would possibly set the seal of the

might be construed as Indicating
that the executive power is setting
itself in opposition to, and, in fact,
overruling the courts; in other
words, making itself practically the
court of last resort. We should not
even admit this thought Our organ
ic law irrevocably commands the
contrary. Respect for the law and
the consequent determination to up
hold and obey it is incuIcated by the
certainty of it's enforcement, and
even mercy must be so d.scerningly

presence of justice. This should be
our unchanging practice"

ton; but can it be possible that he
means just that? Has he no over
shadowing desire to be reelected, or
to go to the United States senate?
Does he actually mean that he con-
siders his pardoning power a solemn
trust, given him to be exercised pure
ly in the cause of impartial and i'm
personal justice and right, and not a
thing to be used for political or per-
sonal ends? AS impossible as the
suggestion may seem we positively
believe Governor Brown means just
exactly that!
1t is all somewhat startling, to be
sure-and most engagingly refresh
ing and encouraging, we suspect, in
the minds of not few people.
