SATURDAY APHIL 88, 1883. Jay Gould has pocketed the Hannibal and St. Joe. He will soon have his pocket full. The new Civil Service law will not be set down on in the departments like the Edmunds statute in Utah. It does not touch polygamy. The Star route institution is becoming per manent. The grand jury has recently turned n indictments against William Pitt Kellogg and Thomas J. Brady. It may not be generally known that Gen eral Crook is looking for the Indians; but it is known that several tribes are looking for the United States army. England has taken on another scare caused by a passage in the German imperial message for the relief of the working classes which, she says, covers a military programme. Poor old England. TiTe Boston Advertiser man wants all the Irish hung for the Phoenix park murders, and an earthquake for the Russian Nihilists, be cause he can't blow up the Governor of Mas sachusetts with dynamite instead of in his paper, that is to say, in a literal instead of a literary way. The Czar should look after his friend. It is expected in English law circles that Judah P. Benjamin, the great Louisiana law yer, wholgot astray in Confederate politics, bu when the Confederacy collapsed placed him self at the head of the English bar, from which he has lately retired, will take the place on Queen's Bench of the most eminent of English jurists, Sir George Jessel, recently dead; and also that he will be knighted, if willing. We trust Judah will not make a Judy of himself by accepting the coronet. We see by a special dispatch to the San Antonio Express that there are now over 100 applications for pardons in the Governor's office. Tne pardoning power should be used with great discretion, but never denied to suppliant when its exercise will not wrong public justice or impair the public safety, "Tho mercy I to others show That mercy show to mo," as Pope renders the Great Prayer, is no less a fit supplication for a public functionary than lor the recluse in his closet. But the respon' sibilities of the executive pardon are enhanced by conditions precedents the wantonness and prevalence of crime and the difficulty of con viction in cases of guilt, So many undeserv ing criminals escape through the frailties of our judicial system, that an executive is apt to hold deserving ones who do not escape not only to atone for their own offenses but to do vicarious atonement for others; and the pub lic are apt to require this of him. Yet it is wrong. The remedy fo. the impunity of crime is not to leave the function of mercy in operative but to reform the other. Wc trust the Governor will be guided by bis own intelligence and hi. conscience, not by public opinion, ral or supposed, In his treatment of these unfortunates. MINISTER DAOORTT ON HAWAIIAN SUA ARB. We have been tossed for two years like a shuttlecock between conflicting purposes and opinions concerning the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty. Its alleged violation by Hawaii led Senator Jonas, of Louisiana, to Introduce a joint resolution for foreclosing upon King Kalakaua and the sentiment most prevalent has been that in favor of the measure, and the common opinion that Chinese and other foreign sugars have been pouring into this country duty free.through Hawaiian ports, to the great damage of the American planter and the great scandal of Hawaii. While no action seems to have been taken on the subject by Congress the Government Instructed our Minister at Hawaii, Mr. Dag gett, to examine into and report the facts. That official has accordingly just reported that there has been no violation of the treaty as alleged, that no foreign sugars have at any time arrived at the Sandwich Islands, nor any sugars been exported thence to the United States except ing Sandwich Island sugars, and that the whole exports are considerably less than the acreage. While this may be so, and is very satis factory, so far as it goes, we think the treaty ought nevertheless to be revoked upon other grounds, and reciprocity treaties abstained from. There can be no adequate cause for relinquishing to the Hawaiian planter from the United States Treasury upon his sugrs ex ported to this country 2 cents a pound, especially as he is constructively only a Ha waiian planter, and his place of business is probably Boston or New York, nor for ex tending any privileges to Hawaiian sugars that are not common to all foreign sugars. The government of so vast a country as this must be carried on upon general princi ples and by universal, not partial, rules and the sooner we abandon reciprocity treaties, in our foreign relations as governmental policy, the better. The reciprocity is always vague and undefined and usually, as in this case, a pretence. The ex clusive favors pretended to be sought by the American Government can be dispensed with. There are but about 40,000 Polynesians in Hawau) the population being chiefly American. In this, and all such cases, the real interests served by such measures are in dividual or class, not national ; in this case American, not Hawaiian. The resident Sand wich Island planter is probably a Yankee, certainly not a natus, nor often a proprietor. The proprietory rights are situated in Boston or New York, and that Minister Daggett's re port is made in the interest of the proprietory planter there is probably not much doubt. The clergy of Rhode Island, irrespective of creed, have taken up politics as a body. It is not supposed that the late collapse of the Sprague feature in the politics of little Rhody will check this politico-religious boom.

The Washington Critic tells how a crank in ventor explained his wonderful war engine to Mayor Heard. "You see," he said, "I first take a small toy balloon, and let it sail from our line of battle to that of the enemy. Then with the aid of a stop-watch I calculate the time re quired for it to arrive directly over the enemy. The time necessary for the passage having been determined, I then nil the basket on a large balloon with 'die-in-a-minute' and other explosives, and attach a time-fuse to the rope irom wincn tne basket is suspended, llie balloon reaches the enemy's line! the fuse goes off! the rope burns in two, and the bas ket, full of explosives, drops among the eaemy and then there's " "But," added the Colonel, "suppose the wind should change direction and the bal loon should come back toward your own line with the time-fuse burning away, what then?" Scratching his head at this unexpected in terrogatory, the enthusiast replied, after a few seconds' thought: "Well, In that case, pard, you'd have to git up and git like bell, that's all."
