vigorous. His Recommendation of the pa,saye
Of a law providing for the assessment OF benefits
and damages upon property adjoining or abut-
ting upon, streets and avenues undergoing i'm
proyements, il such an equitable measure thatit
Commencs itself to the good sense of all, AMI
VIII doubtless receive the early attention OF
the legislature. Asthe Governor very property
remarks: ''the obvious justice of such legal pro
vision a. shall equitably distribute the burden
of benefits and damages over property affected
by public improvements, has been generally
recognized elsewhere; and in view of the fact
that the improvements here will be distributed
Throughout the entire District, the argument of
necessity applies with more than ordinary force
IN this locality" His recommendations for
watchiul economy that the expenditures be kept
within the aggregate current revenues Of the
District without any increase in the rate OF
taxation; and that the present law, imposing
taxes upon real and personal property, be SO
modified as to make the assessment upon per-
sonal property IN the nature of investments or
securities, retroactive instead of prospective
are equally cCmmendable.

The average jurors mind. under the srstem

The average Jurors mind, under the system
which still prevails in many sections of the
country OF selecting men to decide questions OF
life and death, who cannot do not read the
newspapers, is 30 constituted that villain who
shoots down an antagonist in the presence of
twenty witnesses, runs far less risk of conviction
than prisoner against whom there is the thin
nest kind OF circumstantial evidence We do
not know why this should be 50, but it is, as we
might adince numerous instances to show. As
DundreaTy says, "it is one of those things which
no fellow can find out" IL il one of the reasons
why the abolition of capital punish ment and
favor, and another is that some rymsR instead
OF combining themselves to the evidence, look
beyond it TO the results of their verdict, i'm case
the person charged with murder is one who can
obtain their sympathies. In either case the ends
of justice are defeated Those who defend capt.
tai punishment DO not do so, as alleged by their
opponents, because they want to make s.awrul
examples TO deter other criminals. The fact is
That society must protect itself, far as il can
against dangerous people. A man who has de-
mOnstrated that he is capable OF taking human
life merely to crafty some cruel passion of
his nature is too dangerous to be at large.
IL il was certain that all such men, OF women,
would be forever prevented from again imbru-
ing their hands in blood. nobody would care to
have them hanged Imprisonment for life would
answer the purpose; but who is ever imprisoned
for life? Any criminal wealthy enough or in.
fiuential enough to have friends laughs at such a
sentence, knowing it means only a brief re-
straint from the indulgence of his passions. The
bill sbOliShing capital punishment in Iowa is in
tended to prevent this mockery OF justice; but it
does not 80 far enough. As the law is a model
OF brevity We give it entire: al. The penalty of
death as a punishment for crime is hereby
abolished. .. All crimes heretofore punishable
with death shall be punished by Imprisonment
for life at hard labor in the state psnitentiary.
;. In all cases arising under the preceding sec
tons, the governor shall grant no pardons ex-
cept on recommendations of the general assem-
bly, If the third section was M AIDE to read that
"the governor shall grant no parions except
rncOntestible proof is discovered after the trial
that the criminal was not guilty of the crime OF
which he or she was convicted" with a GER
tainty that such a law would be rigidIy adhered
TO, We take it that there would not be a handful
OF persons in any state or territory to oppose the
substitution OF Imprisonment for the gallows.
