BiIling Criminals.

Dr. Paul f. Eve, eff Nashville, has
written a pamphlet to prove that, hang
ing is not only unpleasant, but positively
inhuman as a means of DEATH The docs
tor contends that it Is an exceedingly
difficult matter to dislocate the human
neck, and that this event rarely happens
in ordinary haugings, the victim dying
gradually Of strangulation What is
worse, the Consciousness of the criminal
i not suspended by the fall, and he suf-
fers terribly during the period from
seventeen to twenty seven minutes-he
is engaged in shutting off his mortal coil
Indeed, the doctor thinks that, with the
exception of crucifxion, hanging is the
most painful of all deaths DIR Eve is
doubtless right in many Of his deductions
Hanging is bcastly way of killing q
criminal, even when artistically done by
a sheriff who understands his business and
never loses his presence of mind. But
when the job is bungfed. as it is three
times out of FIVE, hanging is horrible, in.
human and disguting The object being
simply to kill the prisoner and get him
out of the way, it would seem that science
ought to provide some simpler, quicker
and more humane method than that Of
| choking him to death DIR. Eve suggests
a. a substitute for the halter a mCdiica>
ton Of the Spanish garotte, fitted with a
| spring so constructed as to drive a knife
into the neck, severing the spinal chord
and producing in tantaneOus death This
would be decided improvement on the
halter, but powerful galvanic battery
producing painless death with the swift
ness of a lightning stroke, would be bet
ter still But best of all would be the
abolition of tie death penalty in all its
forms-St Lo,is Democr C.

GOOD for this Date Only.

The railway ticket'agents are bother
ing their brains over the question Wheth-
er passengers may "lay over" and re-
sumo their journey at pleasure. or
whether, when they have once quilted
the cars, they have forfeited their ticket
for the remainder of the journey. The
courts have already decided that man
who buys a ticket, as it were between
Boston and New York, has the undoub>
ted right to stop at any'plaee on the road,
and to resume his journey at his leisure,
without buying another ticket The
legend, Good for this date only" has no
value in the eyes of any save railway Of
fcials, and the law has decided that any
action taken by conductors with view
to enforcing the implied contract, is il
legal. There the matter should be allow
ed to rest The public are satisfied so to
leave it, and the railway companies ought
not to complain. If man purchases a
ticket to Boston, and the company re-
ceives the money for it, there is no rea~
son why they should refuse to carry him
thither, or why they should wish to force
him to do it TO suit their own convenience
instead of his own.
