Hut Ho II an no Sympathy Fur the Rubber* of tv I li ons und Orphans, mid Hunker I IHi will Troll.- lily Stay at Auburn. Washington, October 24.—The petition for the pardon of Banker Fish, of Now York, will be back pretty soon, and the president will be called on to act upon it. He will do no, and the chances are that his Verdict will not be favorable to Mr. Fish. Mr. Cleveland is a merciful man and exer cises the pardoning power nearly every day of his presidential life, but it is not on this sort or men. Indeed, he bus made no hesitation in expressing himself os op posed to pardoning men who do tilings that they know better than to do. “I re member a ease went to him not long ago,” said a prominent official of the department of justice. "It was an application for the pardon of a couple of young boys down in Texas for robbing the mails. It had been shown in the testimony that the boys had each of them lost both parents in childhood. This seemed to touch the president, and from the first ho seemed in clined to think kindly of tho ease. He ■poke of the fact that the boys had never had the advantage of home training, and that they probably did not realize the enormity of tiieir offense. This fact seemed to have a good deal of weight with him, and 1 think it was only through that that they were pardoned. But for the experienced men who commit crimes ho has no sympathy. IIe was talk ing of some men not long ago whose friends hod applied for a pardon. It wns the case of some bank officer who had been sentenced for appropriating the funds of the bank. He did not seem at all in clined to grant tho pardon, and after a thorough examination of the case marked it ‘denied.’ Talking of it to a friend lie expressed himself in the strongest terms •gainst showing any clemency to any man who has deliberately taken possession of the money of widows and orphans inlrustr ed to his keeping or the keeping of any institution with which he is connected. He was very emphatic about it, too, mid brought his list down on tho table in a way that showed he meant every word that he said.” “Does tho president have a good many applications for pardons?” “Does lie? Weill should say so. Never a day passes in which he is not applied to to pardonsomebody. They come from all directions and relate to all sorts of people und all sorts of crimes.” "And are all those received and acted upon?,’ “Yes. Tlinv are sent to the pardon clerk ol the department of justice. He sends them back to tiie district attorney, where the case was tried for iiis opinion in tho case. The district attorney makes his recommendation and generally accom panies it with the papers in tho case often giving a transcript of the testimony in tne ease. . These the pardon clerk dl- ? jests and briefs up for the president, niak- ng a clear statement of the ease and re commending tiie action to lie taken. Then thu ease goes to tho president and he de cides upon it. Sometimes he acts simply upon tho recommendation of the district attorney and the pardon clerks, but often 11 the case is a very important one he takes hold of it personally and calling for tho transcript of the testimony he wades trough the whole of it, giving many hours to this sort of thing.” “This must require an immense amount ®f labor ou the part ol' tho president, does it not?” ; “Yes, a great deni. It is wonderful!the amount of work that man can perform. He doositall with his own hand, i jo. In stead of having the work done by a cleric or an amanuensis, he does it himself. Take his messages, for instance. He writes them •11 out with his own hand instead of dic tating them. That is the ease with his correspondence. Why, hero is a note sent a day or two ugo about some matter of ofil • cial detail, so unimportant Dial it could just as well have been written by a clerk or an amanuensis. But no, it is written by tho president's own hand, every word of It. That in his method in dealing with his work of all kinds. 11a not only does it thoroughly, but does it with his own hands.” “How many applications for pardons do you suppose there ire presented to tue president, in a year?” “Probably something over a thousand.” “What |n o portion of those does ho act favorably upon?” “Probably about one-fourth.” “Ho he piobably pardons about 260 peo ple in u year?” "Ho ran a little over that last year. The total was about 300.” HENRY'S DEFEAT PROBABLE - . A lllxli Tariff Republican l’lnlferni DcinorriitU' Camllilatc in Dungcr of Losing His District. Washington, October 24.—It comes pretty straight from tho ninth Virginia congressional district that ox-Congressman Bowen, who iH now the republican candi date, is considerably la the lead, and more than likely to be elected. This is the white district in which tho MahoneltB were suc cessful up to 1861. In the latter year Cou- nally F. Trigg, democrat, was elected by 1200 majority over Bailey, republican, and in 1885 Gov. Doe had about tiie same ma jority over John H. Wise. Unit summer a ] democratic congressional convention, re- : crennt to democratic principles, repudiated • Trigg because he voted to take up the Mor- 1 risen bill and nominated one H. It. Henry ' on a republican high tariff platform. I Henry’s defeat by Bowen lias boon looked for and no good democrat is likely to shed tears if such be the outcome of the elec tion, as now seems more than probable. K.xrltvllu'Ut in Texas. • Great excitement lues been caused in the vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the remarkable recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley, who was so helpless he could not turn iu bed, or raise his head; everybody said he was dying of consumption.' A trial bottle of I)r. King’s New Discovery was sent him. Finding re lief, ho bought a large bottle and a box of Dr. King’s New Life Pills: by the time he had taken two boxes of Pills and two bot tles of the Discovery, lie was well and had gained in tiesli thirty-six pounds.
