Capital PuMishlna cns.

The Argus commits the rather silly blum
der of mistaking Beccaria's suggestive ques-
tions quoted in the Press few days ago for
complete treatise on capital punishment, and
complains because the interdepcndence of the
queries was not better made out. We are not
concerned to defend Beccaria's logic against
writer who begins with the confession that he
has not considered it carefully enough to un-
derstand it, Our correspondent x, whose
skilful argument we print in another column,
deals with the subject in another fashion,
Approaching fully the force OF the assertion
that society can assert no higher authority
over the lives ofmen than each man has over
his own, he proceeds to meet it by showing
that in many cases men and nations do delib-
erately sacrifice life to objects dearer than life.
The Italians were ready to sacrifice many
lives for national independence. DR.. Kane
laid down his life in the cause of science
All this is true, and we cordially agree that
the sentimentality which puts the precious
ness of human life above and before all other
motives, will neither make good patriots nor
good Christians. 1t is the right of nation
or an individual to weigh human life against
other high considerations, and to act upon the
conclusion so reached. 4+z. ...,..
Granting this granting also that the securi-
ty of society is a worthy consideration, it on
ly remains to consider whether the death pen
atty is essential to the maintenance of that
security. Beccaria's qestionings have accom-.
plished just this: it is now substantially
agreed by all who approach the subject at all
that this right, if it exists, must be support, !,
ed by the most powerful rea-
sons and exercised with the utmost care

admitted that the necessity for capital pun
ishment is equally disproved. The Argus

nothing to no with the existence OF

have lately been perpetrated in this State, as
J" there We're no atrociOus crimes in other
States where the extreme penalty of the law
Is stl'i applied. as ii the war from which we
have Just emerged had not prepared the way
for scenes of violence. If there are other
sufficient causes for "a temporary increase of
crime we cannot tbeleve that such increase
should be charged to the practical abolition
of capital punishment. If in other countries
crime has diminished notwithstanding the
abolition OF capital punishment it would
seem TO be proved that the penalty has no di-
rect bearing upon the amount of crime, Is
consequently unnecessary, and if unnecessary
indefensible. ..-

NJ ALAbAMA.-A correspondent of the
Ne" iork Times mentions on the authority
ol a London paper-no name giyen-a curl
ou' report touching the Alabama claims of
the United States, to the effect that the mat
ter will be settled by Mr. Laird, the bnilder
OF the Alabama, taking upon himself the
whole blame OF the transaction, and navinc
the entire damages out of his own pocket,
Mr.. Laird, it is added, when the Government
had determined TO seize the Alabama, was Sc
cretly informed of the fact by Government
employe, who has since confessed his culpabi
lily, so that Mr.. Laird might be forced to pay
which he will now do voluntarily, to save
both the Government and himself from diff
Guilty. This story needs confirmation; but
if the Government is responsible to the Unit
ed States, somebody should, of course, be res
ponsible to the Government. MFR. Laird is
rich, no doubt, but probably not rich enough
to foot the little bill run up by the Alabama

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAyMENrs.-A
writer In the N. Y. Tribune thus alludes to a
common misapprehension respecting English
financial history:
We often hear it said, by way of protest
against nxihg any near period of resumption.
tilat the DanE OF England was under slispen.
sion for four-and-twenty years DURING and suh
sequeDt Ato the great Napoleonic wars, and
how can we be expected to do better? This
naked statement conveys totally false impress
sion. For large portion of this period of
twenty-tour years the suspension was merely
nominal, the notes OF the bank being within
three per cent. OF par. This was especially the
case In the seven consecutive years, from 1903
to 1910; and though in 1914 the notes fell to be-
IOwI5 per cent, yet two years after the peace of
iolo they rose again To be worth 81 cents on
the dollar, which was substantial resumption;
and they never fell below this mark until the
maj and absolute restoration of specie pay
ment in May, 1922. So that if we are TO take
England as an example, it is high time we had
resumed.
England was engaged in a tremendous con-
test for most of the time from the close of our
Revolutionary war to 1915. During the period
from 1913 to that year, she borrowed more than
S2,UO,O0O, and taxed herself prodigious sums,
IN the aggregate, We believe, far exceeding this
ed from the contest with such financial
strength, and exhibited such financial integri-
ty, that the paper dollar became worth 81 cents
within two years from its close. England thus
sustained her commercial credit amid all the
dislresses OF this exhausting period, in a man.
