Belgium gives practical exemplifica-
cation of the workings Of government
without capital punishment. From 1880
to 1884 inclusive, no executions took place.
In the next five years four executions
were permitted to take place, but it was
found that in this period as compared with
the first murders had increased fifty
per cent. Since 1889 the nfiction Of cap
ital punishment had almost entirely ceased.
A recent letter from member Of the Bel
gian government to the Secretary of the
Howard Association, London, remarks
1.-The commission of grave crime is every.
where diminishing in Belgium, and it is
"a noteworthy circumstance that for near
"ly eleven years no execution has taken

Reports from the West that the veto
will result in disrupting the republican
party in that section are most emphatically
denied on good authority. Some people
may feel disappointed at the course of the
President, but political suicide is the last
device they will accept to improve their
condition. Possibly Mr.. Morton may is
sue his address, but if he does he will re-
pent it. The tide of public opinion is
sweeping towards sound currency.

This provision, it is believed, will prevent
the determinations now practised against

separated from water lines by intervening
States to reach such lines at reasonable cost
Congress has no power to regulate commerce
