CAPITAL

DR.. Paul F. Eve, Of Louisville, has
written a pamphlet to prove that hang
ing Is not ouly unpleasant but posi-
lively inhuman as a means Of death.
The Doctor contends that 1t Is an ex-
ceedingly difficult matter to dislocate
the human neck, and that this event
rarely happens In ordinary hanGings,
the victim dying gradually BY strangu-
latlon. He says the criminal does not
lose his consciousness by the fall, and
suffers terribly while dying, during a
period from seventeen to twenty-seven
minutes. Hanging at best Is a poor
way of killing a criminal, but when II
Is bungled, as Is frequently the case,
hanging Is horrible in the extreme.
The object being to kill the prisoner,
not to torture him, 1t would seem that
science might provide some simpler,
quicker and more humane method than
that Of choking him to death. The
horror that most juriss have Of bring
lug In a verdict Of guilty In capital
otfenses Is owing In a great measure to
the natural reluctance which they feel
at the idea OF having the culprit bar
barously put to death. Were they per-
United. as In Louisiana and Illinois. TO
fix the punishment to imprisonment
for life, a much greater number would
be convicted. We notice In our east
ern exchanges that this question of the
expediency Of modifying the law rela'
tive to capital otienses Is being some
what extensively aSitated.

POLITICAL

Governor Woods of Utah, addressed
a moderately large audience at Piper's
Opera House last evening. His speech
may DO classed as effective. II indls-
crimlnate abuse OF the Democratic
party, constitutes an effective speech.
He commenced hiI speech by saying
that he ~ willing to accord to the
the Democrats sincerity aud honesty
of purpose, and although he was a
partisan himself. he believed that the
Democrats were no less conscientious
than himse'f, and none the less desir-
VI Of perpetuating the liberties Of the
American people. After this pream.
bic be launched forth aud berated the
Democratic party In the most nnmeas-
ured terms. He raked up the dead
ashes Of the past and gave what pur-
ported to be a record OF that party.
and asked the Democrats to contrast
the Republican record with their own.
While we yield to none In Dur attach
meut to the Republican party, We can
not but %deprecate this wholesale abuse
OF our political opponents. Defams-
ton Off party Is not the proper method
to induce individual members of it to
attach themselves to ours. We believe
that our Democratic citizens AL be In
fuenced by sound logic; not by raking
up dead issues aud ridiculing them for
entertaining opinions different from
ours. A speaker who does so may
gain the applause Of the thoughtless,
but the more jrdicious of the audience
will disapprove of it. The speeches OF
Governor Nye, Hon. J. p. Jones, Gov
ernor Booth, aud others Of the Repub-
lIcan campaign speakers, have met
with our approval as far as the style
and purity OF their patriotic and party
principle Is concerned. Such speeches
are truly effective and good. and OF
real benefit TO the cause, as all classes
of citizens Of whatever shade Of poll
tics, can listen to them with Interest
and profit.

NO COMPROMISE.

The day OF election il near at hand.
Just one week from to-day 1t will be
with Us. and the registered voters OF
our great and thriving country will
then choose whom they will have to
sit In the Presidential chair and rule
over the destinies OF the nation for the
next four years. That the decision
will be IN favor of Grant and Wilson
we ardently hope and firmly believe,
yet also as earnestly counsel the most
unremltting exertions on the part Of
every true Republican lest our adver-
saries should prove to DO more power
full than we now deem them. Nevada
must 90 for Grant and Wilson and not
for the visionary old agricultural ph,l-
osopher Greeley, and his caudal APP
pendagc Brown. Every man should
see to it personally that his name Is on
the roll Of voters In the precinct where
no Is legally entitled to vote; and al
though In the matter Of voting for
State, county, township or leglsla-
tive officers party issues and lines
are not so strictly drawn as In
the head OF the ticket, and good men
will b. voted for regardless Of polit-
ical proclivltles, yet there will not be
half so much scratching Of tickets rs
many suppose. Judging from indica-
tlons, however. there will be a vast
amount Of trading done or attempted
to be done, and right here We wish to
say this The IL Of manipulate
ing and managing the late Republican
primaries was revolving to the souls OF
all honest politicians, yet In the com-
Ing election we Insist upon seeing q
fair expression Of the public will, and
shall oppose the unprincipled endeav-
ors Of any one who will attempt to
compromise the honor and Integrity OF
our party by trading or allowing his
friends to trade for advancement Of his
own private chances for office, to the
detriment Of others or Of the whole
ticket or any part thereof. He who
attempts anything In that line Is no
true Republican and we demand that
he be treated accordingly. We call
for a fair deal aud no favor this time,
and may the best men win.

the whole shows the fierce struggle be-

greatest, since melting does not injure

The whole of the metals belong to a
