mand their repression. No powerful vested
rights are disturbed thereby, no ward likely 20

Yet right well does Geo w Matsell know
that every word of the above extract from his
late semi annual Report applies with even great
er force to Gambling m our City than to Youth
ul Vice. He knows, too, that most stringent
law was passed by our last Legislature expressly
to break up this Gambling he knows that this
law Is adequate to its destined work if It were
honestly anu idithlulif thioiNNN H' NNN"N

suspect from his Report that such vice as
Gambling existed III our City nor can we re-
member that it was erer reprobated IN any of his
Reports.
What is the reason of this strange silence
We answer-Because Geo. W. Matsell does
not pont to break up Gambling in our City-does
not mean to 90 his duty with regard to 1t. He Is
virtually the confederate OF the GamblerS-thelr
accomplcc, their tool He regards them as ser

instead of being sent to prison for life. IL,
after the Death Penalty shall be abolished,
our neighbor shall ever be caPitally con-
yicted. and shall, in view Of the peril Of
Insanity. wish to have the penalty changed
to Hanging, our earnest desire to oblige
will strongly impel US to sign his petition.
But our neighbor does not quite under
stand the grounds on which the Abolition Of
Capital Punishment is demanded. Whether
death or life-imprisonment Is the severer
penalty, we do not decide, nor does the ques-
ton hold that prominence In the mind Of our
friends that The Times suPPoses. What
we find most Objectionable in Hanging Is
not so much its severity as Its barbarity -
not so much its effect on the culprIt as its
brutalizinp influence on the community. In
the ages when conyicts could not be secure
~ imprisoned for long, indefinite periods,
because of the rudeness Of architecture
or the frequency Of internal convul-
sions or armed lnvasions, 1t NAV have
been necessary to take the lives of
great criminals in order TO secure Society
against farther outrages; but in this age
and country we recognize no such neces-
sity consequently, the taking Of life by
law seems to involve the idea Of revengeful
infection rather than of indispensable pre-
caution. Such infection we reprobate as
demoraliziog and bruGfying- Of a piece
with bear-baiting, dog fighting and Pugi-
ism. Has the Editor of The Times any
hesitation in saying that he would far sooner
take his children to witness the punishment
of homicide by Imprisonment than TO view
the punishment If that same homicide by
suangulatiou In the natural answer of a
humane, considerate person to this question
lies the marrow Of the controversy.
There are ether objections to the Death
Penalty, such as that growing ont Of the
fallibility of human testimony and judg-
ment, and the irrevocable nature of this
Penalty. Many persons have been hung
and afterward proved clearly innocent-so
that they would have been liberated and
doubtless compensated for their uumented
sulIerings if the penalty had been any other
thau Death But we consider the welfare
Of the community rather than that of the
convict, and believe the former preludiced
by any exhibition of legal vindictiveness.
Punish to restrain, to reform or TO secure
but not in any manner involving the iiea Of
malignity, wrath or hatred. Hence we
labor and hope for the Abolition of the
Gallows.

tain and officers of the Mississippi relative to
the absurd imputation on Kossuth suggested

made it.
