A NOVEL LIFE INSURANCE CUES
TIoN.-A novel question of life insu-
rance is likely to arise in Delaware.
Professor West of Dover, had his life
insured for $4,000 for the benefit of
his family. He has confessed to the
killing of a negro named Gooch Turn
er. His apparent object in the MUIR
der was that the mutilated body of
the negro might be mistaken for his
own corpse, and the insurance compan-
les be defrauded out of the $3.50
The question arises if West is hanged
for this murder, will the companies be
compelled to pay the amount of the
insurance to his familvs

The question Of commuting CRAIG s
sentence Of death to a mi!der punish
rnent is exciting considerable discuss
ion in the county. The presentation
of a numetouslv signed petition to
Governor WEYTE, his refusal to inter
ferc, ani the near approach OF the
day Of execution, each daily enhances
the gravity Of the question involved
The petitioners express doubt as
to the identity of CRAIG with the
crime for which he is condemned-an
impression which is fast obtaining
ground in the popular mind, as the
matter is more and more carefully
weighed. This doubt did not, proba-
bly,, occur with its present force to
the Judges and jury who tried
and condemned CRAIG but its widely
extended existence after the trial
should have induced the Governor,
who is clothed with a higher pow
or, to have overridden a technical
itv in Difference TO sentiment rapid
idly approaching popular unanimity
What matters it If Judge PEARRE does
not unite in the petition for CRAIG 5
communication Is Governor WHITE
less responsible for the performance
of his own duty in the premises? II
20, We would be pleased to know why
the law invests the Governor with the
humane prerogatives of Communication
and pardon at all. 1t is puerile to
petition to Chief Magistrate whose
action must be sanctioned at last by
the tribunal from which the appeal is
taken.
This idea gains force from the fact
that after the jury found the prisoner
guilty, it was optional with the Court
to give him term of imprisonment
for life, or sentence him to death
The law thus provides for the absence
OF absolute certainty and now that
this certainty has become a matter OF
serious question, why may not Cover
nor WHITE easilyu and consistently
remove "the sting of death from
CRA1G's sentence? Why may he not
as the last juror in this case, give tn.
prisoner the benefit of the doubt, ire
spective of any previous verdict Oh
sentence, especially as the people, not
CRAIG, are appealing in his behalf?
Under the circumstances the execu
ton of CRAIG would be wretched vim
dication Of a law, the plainest provision
oIwhich confers upon him all the ben
eft. arising from want of unmistakabl,
proof. 1t in no wise alters the cas-,
whether this want appears to tn,
Coult, OK, subsequently 10 lne bONer
nor, each1 are morally and legally
bound not to disregard it. There car
be no escape from this duty without
mourning serious responsibility.
That the Governor action deserve:
early reconsideration is beyond doubt
To place himself on certain ground he
should visit Cumberland, and Their,
investigate again the record of the
trial, and then, particularly, the fact.
and motives which prompted the cir
culaiton, signing and presentation O.
the petition.

Last week the Republicans Of
Philadelphia made tLcir nominations
for members Of Congress and the
Legislature and city offices by the
Crawford. County plat;7 that is, by
a direct vote of the members Of the
party" without preliminary caucus
ing. The Telegraph says that the re-
suit OF the experiment was encourag
ing. The fact that the voters were
not familiar with the system created
some slight annoyance, but there APP
pears to he no reason why after a
few trials, this method OF voting
should not work as smoothly as any
other. One result of calling upon
the voters to nominate their own can
didates was the polling Of a very I'M
usually large vote. Over 81, 900
voters turned out, whereas usually
the poll at the primary elections is
not over 5000, and is often less
