The Tim,* does not regard with much favour the bill for
the infliction of capital punishment within the walls of
prisons. The chief objection to the measure is that in the
case of any wealthy or noble criminal a doubt might arise
in the minds of a large number of people, and those not
necessarily the most ignorant, whether the sentence of the
law had ever been carried into effect at all. Our contem-
porary is willing that the experiment should be turd if
by altering the means of inflicting the extreme penalty of
the law its tepid may be prevented.
The Daily Nears supplies fresh instances of " rattening."
In Pates nester-row the account has been closed
of a Regent-street tradesman who charges the
wholesale price for single volumes ; Greening and
Co. have been treated in the same way by a com-
bination of the agricultural implement makers ; the
Civil Service Supply Association is told by a firm that they
can no longer execute their orders, lest old customers
should be displeased. All thin is rattening-interference,
1 resting, like that of the saw-grinders, not on authority,
but on usurped power, exerted is defence of interests
which were menaced either by now organisations or greater
enterprise. In the medical profession the same spirit has
been exhibited in the persistent attempts to throw difficul-
ties in the way of ladies. Clearly it is not only in the
lower ranks of the community that the obstnictive trade
union spirit is operating.
The Star regards the remission of the punishment of
Mr. Johnson, the Irish Orangeman, as a bad omen for the
i permanence and consistency of Mr. Disraeli's policy. It
may, perhaps, be taken to mean that Mr. Disraeli
abandons all attempt to bargain with liberalism so far se
the claims of the Irish people are concerned, and has re-
solved to rely on the party of saeendaney alone.
The Post is of opinion that the telegram purporting
to have been sent to the New York Herald by a correspond-
ent at Antola should be received with, to say the least, the
greatest caution, until some confirmation of it be obtained,
for it contains internal evidence tending to throw suspicion
on its authenticity.
