The great cemetery Of Tarkhan,
which occupied u mile of desert 40
miles south of Cairo and which dates
from the earliest historic age until the
race OF the pyramid builders, has
proved to be exceedingly prolific in
antiquities.
What has struck Professor Petrie is
the extraordinary preservation OF the
woodwork and clothing unearthed from
these places OF interment OF long

THE POWER OF PARDON.

1t is the fact that Governor Foss
last year granted rs pardons, when the
highest record hitherto had been "a,
makes the friends of Richeson hope
full and the sustainers of law fearful
when they view the present situation.
Governor Foss' attention is being
called to the fact that the pardoning
power was not established to de-
feat the ends Of justice, but to pre-
vent injustice when occasion requires
it.
The Boston Post is right when it
says by no vagaries of interpreta-
ton can the pardoning power be cor
stTued as a Gevice for carrying out the
personal view Of an executive as 20
capital punishment. Governors of
Massachusetts have very generally
recognized this, and. whatever their
opinion as TO the death penalty, have
not interfered with due process OF
law except under extraordinary cir
cumstances.
Good men differ as to the advisa-
bility and effect upon society of put
ting any murderers whatever into the
electric chair. They ought not to diff
Ter, however, as to the necessity OF
enforcing the death penalty law SO
