EXECUTIVE PARDONS. Governor Markham Adopts a New Plan Therefor. He Thinks a Pardon Should Not bo Granted Unless It Meets the Prison Directors' Approval. Governor Markham proposes to adopt a new plan for hearing applications for pardons. According to Private Secretary Higgins, the Governor thinks that tho pardoning action by the Executive should be more open and public than in tho past.

He believes the people ought to know, if they desire to, all that is going on when efforts are being made to secure pardons, and what pressure is being brought to bear by the applicant: also what the hitter's reasons arc for asking a pardon, and the circumstances connected with his arrest and trial. To this end Governor Markham proposes to inaugurate an entirely different plan from the present one. lie will lirst receive all applications and carefully examine each ono, to familiarize himself with the details of the crime lor which the convict is serving sentence. Jl he deems the judgment of the court was proper and the sentence reasonable, he Will return the application, or, in other words, deny it. On the other hand, if, alter reading an appeal, he finds there is reason for the exercise of executive clemency, he will submit the application to tho Board of Prison Directors and asK theni to vote on tho question as to whether or not tbo applicant is deserving of a pardon.

Tho ooard may hear what the Warden has to say concerning the convict's prison life, and examine fully into the applicant's ase. If the board approves the application, then the Governor will use his own judgment as to whether or not he will grant a pardon. In no case, however, will he exercise his power when the board reports unfavorably on an application. The Governor will insist that these meetings of the Board of Prison Directors shall be public, and the newspapers may publish full accounts of the proceedings if they dosiro to do so. "The Governor thinks that this plan will a good one," said Mr.

Higgins to a Reoobd-Uniom reporter, "because there will be some system about it, and then considerable expense will be saved friends and relatives of the applicant in ihe way of advertising. They need not advertise until after the Governor has lirst passed on tiie application. If he denies it, then they will know that there Ls little use in advertising, but if he submits it to the Prison Directors then there will be some hope that a pardon may be granted, and tho friends of the applicant may proceed to advertise, as required by law. "There's a habit," continued Mr. Higgins, the Governor wants to discourage, and that is the practice of relatives coining to him for personal Interviews.

He wants everything submitted in writing, so that he can give the proper attention and thought to tho subject. He wishes to avoid the pitiful scenes which frequently take place In the office when an i'ged mother comes to ask a pardon for hereon, or a sister pleads for a father or brother. Even the strongest hearts are moved at such appeals, and it makes only unpleasantness all around." READS LIKE A ROMANCE. How Young (Juint. ro Discovered a Great Fortune.

Tho location thoy considered good enough, and thoy thought the place might be fitted up so as to make a suitable jail, but none of tho rooms were quite large enough for a court-room. The largest room is six feet shorter in length than the small courtroom in the old City Hall building. Chief Drew stated that if either the old Wells-Forgo building or the Arcade should Le taken the cells would have to be made of boiler-iron, similar to those in tho County Jail. THE PRINTERS.

Close of the Stato Success of Bishops- Rain Always In Season. Eds. Record-Union Portland's Industrial Exposition can now be numbered with the things of tbe past. It came to a close on Saturday, October 17th, after being open ono month. Silence now reigns supreme within the halls which but a short time ago echoed with the tramp of many feet and the sound of mingled voices.

The managers resolved to make the closing nights ones long to be remembered. Friday night there was a band contest between two rival country bands. Unfortunately one of the leaders was indisposed, consequently there was no competition. But the rustic looters of the horn and wielders of the drum-sticks did nobly, aud surfeited the suffering audi- ence with such choice selections as "Fifteen Dollars in My Inside Pocket," "Annie Rooney," "McGinty," etc. It was a gala night for the country boys, and, knowing this, tho listeners wero good-humored, and applauded to the echo.

My companion, who is not musically inclined, whispered oxtiltingly in my ear, "Where is your Wagner now? Are not the so-called popular airs better appreciated, after all 1 could only glower at at him in rage and think, "Ye gods has it come to tins! Are the mighty masters of the world to be confined to the Stygian shades, outdone by "Little Annie Rooney?" However, there seems to be ICKTHOO IN THK JESS Of our mighty Fair Directors. I privately think tbey are fishing for tho good will of our bucolic neighbors, so that tbey can haul in the succulent rural dollars to fill the yawning (toilers of On the closing night all the exhibitors. dressed in masquerade costumes, marched around tiie hall beaded by the Mexican band. Standing on tbe bridge and looking on tbe fantastically arrayed figures it seemed like a scene from the Arabian Nights. At 12 o'clock tbe gong sounded, there was a rush for the doors and in a few minutes the big building was deserted and tho exposition was closed for another year.

Financially it was a big success, though as yet the exact proceeds have not boen made public. The managers are looking happy and that is argued as a favorable sign. The Yapadores Laud, who furnished us such excellent music, left last week for San Francisco, where tbey will give two concerts beiore returning to their native land. A OATiIEIUXO OF BISHOPS. There was a grand coin-lave of Catholic Bishops, from all parts of the Northwest, held iv our city a short time aijo.

The decrees of the council have been sent to Rome for the approval of Pope Leo 11 i. An answer is not expected before next year, perhaps even later; it all depends on the amount of business his Holiness has on hand. The attending Lishops and prelates were tendered a mnsicale before their departure, in which nearly all the prominont Catholics took part. The Lishops left yesterday for their respective dioceses. WOKKI.NO A SOKT-HEAKTEO CITIZEN.

We have all sorts of charitable societies incur city. In fact, for a place of as size, the charitable act is rattier overdone, as will be seen by the following incident: One of our Front-street merchants, a benevolent son of the Fatherland, ana a prominent member of a German aid society, had a rather unpleasant experience a short time ago. lie was alone in his otfice when a woman in and told a pitiful tale of how she was Buffering from epileptic fits, and had not a cent in tbe world. The old gentleman's heart was touched, the more so as the woman was al: of Teutonic extraction. He wrote out an order admitting her to the hospital.

No sooner did her eyes rest on the bit of paper, that she sank into the nearest chair and informed her benefactor she felt ail the symptoms of Jan approaching fit. The gentleman, liko all his sex, is exceedingly bashful, and idea of sheltering a woman in his office, even with a lit. struck terror into his heart. At last a happy thought struck him. Thrusting a glitt.

ring twenty-dollar piece into the woman's hand he hurried her from the offico. The truetfacts Of the case leaked out the next day: The woman had been sent to the hospital at the expense of the German Aid Society, and had been discharged as cured. Needing money and not caring to work, she successfully duped our charitable friend, who did not know the true facts of the case. This particular gentlemau is in. future not to be at home when suffering females como to see him.

THK OUSSAMER HAS THE CALL. The clerk of the weather upourwav has decreed rain, and the gentle Oregon mist is dec-ending with a musical patter. Strange as it may seem the ladies of this glorious Wobfoot State seem to prefer to do their shopping in the rain, and tho streets are crowded with gossamered figures with arms full of bundles. The native Oregonian may well be compared to a is ready and willing to take to the water at any time. 1 Portland, October 23, EVERYBODY'S COLUMN.

Permit me to present one view of the policy of the city relative to her debt, to a new charter and tho possible abolition of tho Debt Commission. I illustrate it by a conversation had with a neighbor this morning, I favoring the continuation of the Funded Debt Commission scheme my friend opposed. "We would be better olf with tho abandonment of the Debt Commission," aid he. differ with you," I replied, "for this reason: Suppose I owe, on notes, and and that they fall due at different periods between 1892 and 1908, eleven years, and that 1 must pay interest annually upon them. Now suppose that I set aside a sum and buy up the note held by A and stop the interest to him.

The interest I should have paid to however, I set aside and use it with other savings to buy up B's note and stop tho Interest on that. Then I take more savings and the sum I should have paid year by year in eleven years on tho A and notes and buy up (J's note and so on until in six years 1 secure them all. Now, is not that hotter than to let the notes run until due?" To this my neighbor replied: "Xo. Suppose your house needs repairing, that it will go to decay if you do not protect it; that tho drainage is so bad that your family is made sick; that your drinking water is unlit for your household; your stable is falling down and your stock needs better shelter: that your lot is low and needs grading: that your street is impassible for need of paving. You cannot repair the hor.se, put in good drainage, improve the outhouse, pave the street, or get a better water sapply, because you tax yourself ali you oan pay in order to buy up the a you owe before they are due.

Should you not he trainer by using that money to secure the things that will cnablo you to live better, preserve your health, and to earn more money nnd appreciate tho value of your property, and in the meantime pay only the interest on your notes, and by your hotter condition be able to pay the principle when due? Will it cost you any more to pay the notes when due than now, as you cannot now buy them at less than their par value? Are you not more benefited by present use of the means 'which under your plan you raise by paying interest ou notes already taken up) to preserve your property aud the health of your family and increase your earning capacity, than to expend the money in taking up a debt before it is due?" I confess this view, of the case staggered me. It apneared to be one in which benelicial use is better than financial speculation, when the latter keeps my nose to the grindstone. That is, under the Debt Commission scheme am I raising money to discharge a debt before it is due, and yet continuing to pay interest upon it, as If I had not discharged the debt? But I still held out. and said: my friend, by buying up notes and continuing to pay the interest on them to myself to create a fund to buy in other notes, I discharge tho debt so much sooner, and am a free man." "True," he replied: "but which is bet! ter, to let the debt run its fall period and pay the annual interest and the principal I when it falls due, and live decently and grow strong and havo what common nej cessity demands, or to suffer in health, comfort and prosperity and pay the debt i before due. and leave yourself a worni out and decrepid man before your time? If course it would be a good thing to get rid of your debt before due; but is it a I good thing to pay a note due eleven years hence live years before due, when you havo practically to pay the interest for tho I whole eleven years in order to secure the surrender of the note in six years, at the expense of suffering for that whole six years, when by letting it run you can save health nnd property, and insure pros: perity during the whole eleven years and yet have no more to pay in the end "Hold on.

I do not pay interest lor eleven years to secure surrender of the I note in six years. I pay par for the note, that is all." "Ah, yes, but if it did not bear interest for eleveu years the note would not be worth par now! It's like this: Would a manufacturer, having a plant of .10,000, and owing 110,000 due in eleven years. but needing 15,000 more of machinery to operate eco- I nomically and make money, use the .5,000 to buy In a good part of the debt tivo years before itis due, and let his factory go to ruin for want of new machinery; or would ho buy the tools and work to a profit, and wait until his debtiell duo to pay it? Isn't Saeramonto in that fix, renting costly tools to keep tho city machine going, instead of buying and owning what she needs. If the Ponded Debt Commission were out of the Way, and tho interest it draws not raised, she could buy what she needs to keep the machine running." presentation of the case puzzles and almost convinces me, but I'll think it over and have another talk with you." Hore the conversation ended. Citizen.

A School Girl on Hacks." Eds. Record-Union: I see no good reason in this day and age why we young ladies should not take a hand in the affairs of this city's government, especially when one sees the rottenness which permeates its wholo system. I was given to understand somo time ago that the new ballot system did away with the political bossism with which we have been so sorely oppressed in the past, but it would appear in this that I was greatly is, if I take into consideration the call of the Republican Convention which appears in your journal of Saturday. Any one who has given any thought at all to the past political this city will, by lookiug over the names of those who are to compose this convention, sco at a glance that all the old war-horses of the past are still in the ring, ever willing to serve this dear people. This don't look to me as much of a change in tho interest lof a reform of government.

Why don't these old political drags let some other of lour citizens take a hand in our affairs? and wby don't our good people meet and et for School Trustees some of our honored merchants who havo no strings to their tails? I believe in a change all around. Most of the men spoken of as candidates for School Trustees have held these offices once too often, and our taxpayers should give them a hint to this effect. With your permission, I will name a few men that 1 think would prove quito satisfactory to all. They are: C.H.Dunn, lawyer; Robert Devlin, lawyer; Genera. J.

G. Martine, merchant; John Stevens, truckman; Albert Hart, for Superintendent. Those gentlemen have never dabbled in the dirty pool of politics. They are the most honored of our citizens, and I am sure that, under their our schools would be run to the satisfaction of all our people; and if those gentlemen do I not care to serve, let others like them be selected. Let us have non.political trustees to manage our schools the next year.

The satisfactory working of this scheme has had the eflect of attracting considerable attention to the work of the Colony Company, andanumber of people aro now desiroos of lolnlng in with them. Au additional 200 acres have been added to the sixty acres originally pureh; For the company is predicted a very bright future, as well as for the beautiful valley ia which their operations are conducted. How this marvelous little garden bas come to be so long neglect, Ls a puzzle to every one who bas visited it, but one thing is very sure, and that is that this neglect will never again be felt in the valley.

The fruits set out are mostly of tho standard apricots, Bartlett pears, prunes, tigs, raisin grapes, whilo along both sides of tho avenues, throughout the tract, walnuts will throw thoir graceful shade. A considerable numb. 1 ot citrus tra a are also being set out; quite a suffie. Nt number to demonstrate that those fruits I fully grown in the valley, abonl which the colonists appear to have no doubt, provided proper care is given to the young trees. Neal Barker, General Manager of the company, resides on the tract, and to his ears Is to be ascribed much of the success of tho venture.

Mention should be made Of the town-site, about which there is nt innovation which might with profit be fallowed by more ambitious places. A small park of some three acres has been laid out right In the center of the town. This park it is proposed to beautify by planting in it from time to timo as many of the beauties aud curiosities of tree and shrub life as may be obtained by diligent search and a wise expenditure of money. It is not expected that Tancred will ever bo a large and busy oity, but it is thought that it can be made a very pleasant little place to dwell ln. A petition has been circulated recently and very largely sijrned, asking tho county to accept Island avenue, on the colony tract, as a county road, and to build a bridge across Cache Creek at this point, In order to give the settlers on the east side of the creek access to Tancred station.

The Tancred colonists are quite willing to givo the necessary right of way, and are very desirous of having a bridge there, as the colony lands extend along both Bides of the stream. It is thought that It would be a very wise expenditure ot publio money to grant them this very necessary improvement, as the operations of such companies are of widespread bonetlt to the whole county and State. The attractions and comforts of the cities are well known, but to t. who are willing to settle on the land and show that the country also affords attractions and comforts and ways, of making money pleasantly, every inducement should be held forth. The following is a list of the principal members Of the Tancred Colony, with number of acres owned by each, and a Skit worthy al mention ls that in each contract or deed issued by the Colony Company there Is a provision that no intoxicating liquor shall ever be manufactured or sold on the land.
