that we impress upon the democrats them
selves the necessity of freeing themselves
from the domination of Tammany Hall.

ture, and there is no reason why New York,

.LudicinI Homicide.

some societies have destroyed their con-
demned criminals with poison. And Of that
method the case of Socrates was memora-
Dle instance This method apparently came
IRON the East, where deadly poticns have
always played conspicuous part in human
history. With the primitive people in other
parts of the world the obvious club has
always been the handy servant of Justice.
John Smiths head on stone and the stall
wart subject of Powhatan armed with sap
ling are the types of the victim and the ex-
ecutioner that have prevailed and still pre-
vail in the preference of the dark skinned
races. Even the murder of the jew pedler
by the three negroes was done like an African
execution, with knotted sticks. Steel and
hemp come in the history of judicial homi-
eide as compromises between the poisonous
juices of trees and the trunk Of the tree
itself, or branch made into q club.
Poison strikes at life through the stomach !;
the club addresses itself to the head as the
most evidently vulnerable point but the
sharp steel moves to the practical separation
of head and body while the rope works an
equally effective functional separation with
out mutilation of the body. Steel as an in
strument of the law has several forms, and
has been found susceptible of improvement
The rope remains brutally what it probably
was in its origin-a mere lasso or longer
bowstring. Both the sword and the axe
have found favor; and there are as many
fables of the skill with which the former has
been employed as there are instances of
bungling butchery done with the other
Our modern form of the axe is
the guillotine, which is simply an
axe, moved by wooden arms that
do not become unsteady at the critical
moment, because their nerve never fails
Spain has supplied Characteristic mod
ifcation of the executioners steel in the
garotte, which is, in fact, the dagger
framed as the French have framed the
axe 1t is a Characteristic national prod
uct, and it is one of the strange contradic-
tions which constantly turn up in human
history that the cruellest race of people treat
their murderers most mercifully of all. 1t is
perhaps, sympathy. But the garotte is an
ideal instrument for expeditions and infal-
lible execution. 1t pierces the spine at the
base of the brain, the essentially vital point
Clumsy and uninventiye in this partic-
ular the English and ourselves adhere
to the rope, which, in the hands into
which it usually falls, is an instrument of
torture. 1t does not shed blood, and in the
times when it was thought salutary to exc
cute in public it was effective for this and
for the reason that it is an execution all of
whose processes Immediately address the eye
of the beholder. 1t is calculated to impress
the multitude with terror. But since the
theory of executions before the multitude is
relinquished the clumsy rope should be re-
linquished also Our murderers should be
killed hv the nnlvanic hnttnru

suggestion worthy of consideration is
made by lawyer Of eminence-namely
that in all cases of capital punishment the
condemned should have the right to appeal
to the Court of Appeals as a matter of right,
and that this supreme tribunal should pass
upon the law of the case without unreason-
able delay. This is only fair, and the matter
might be arranged by the Legislature passing
a law making it incumbent upon the courts,
even the Supreme Court to return all capi-
tai cases to the Court of Appeals for revision
and directing that the Court of Appeals
shall hear and pass upon them within GER
tain time-sny IN thirty or sixty days Then
it might be understood that, after the opinion
of the Court Of Appeals, the matter, so far
as tho law was concerned, is at an end, and
unless the Governor interfered the execution
should take place within three weeks or a
month. This would be to apply to our own
Jurisprudence something of the English
custom, and also to give the prisoner every
possible right under tho law Above all, it
would secure q rigid administration Of JUS

England and Franee--so Near and
Yet So Far.

When the readers of the HERALD have
ters they will appreciate thought which
occurs to us regarding the two capitals and
the two nations they typify. The facts in the
one are those that might transpire with the
Royal Exchange for background those
in the other would exhaust the resources
OF the stage for setting. London is shop;
Paris is theatre. The English letter might
be discussed in the solemn recesses of a bank
parlor at four p. M. the Paris letter in
brilliantly lit cafe after midnight. Stocks,
bonds, foreign loans, shareholders, high
way for commerce, politics rs touching the
pocket and Christianity as an associate
with industrial developments, are settled
with all possible gravity in the cable
letter from England. When we turn to
Paris we see politics on their emotional side.
They seem to be ever in the third act, with q
startling denouenem possible and farcical
advertisement probable. If we were to hear
that the Disraeli Ministry was likely to fall
on the question Of the tax on beer, or any of
the other great English questions, we would
regard it with very different feelings
from that which the report evokes
that MacMahon is likely to choose
military Cabinet to overawe the refractory
voters who think that Republic is the
thing they want. The beer question would
draw forth visions of grum-faced brewers
and frothy-lipped yeomen at a rural tavern.
The military Cabinet gives us clink Of
spurs, o street charge of cavalry with sabres
drawn, and dramatic ''whiff of grape
shot" We see the beer question decided
at the polls. The British artisans are
hurrahing "between drinks, and the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer is settling how much
of the rejected tax he can put on tea and
how much on sugar. The military Cabinet
has been settled in France, with the success
of MacMahon, let us say. Very well The
republicans have buried their fallen
brethren in the morning, and the cafes
in the evening are full as ever; Gleck
continues. to play Macbeth, after one
nights intermission the painters and
dramatists (and doctors) have fresh subjects;
the modistes substitute military cockades
for herons' feathers in ladies' bonnets.

NIr. CnnMnY,s Plan.

Mr. Moncure ID. Conway, who, after a resi-
dence Of ten or twelve years in London,
has returned to New York and delivered
series of lectures upon topics of great public
interest, is reported to have made q speech
at one of our clubs, suggesting that the
tenure of the Presidency should be based
upon the Swiss plan Mr.. Conway's idea,
like that of the advanced republicans on the
Continent, is that the Office Of the President
should be limited in power, rather like the
chairman of board of directors than a
potentate clothed with high duties and pre-
rocatives. One reason why the Presidential
Office is so strong and almost unassailable is
that we give the President the absolute con-
troll over vast amount of patronage. AS
every single appointment is source Of
power, so this prerogative gives the Office
vast authority. The argument in favor Of
limiting the Presidential term to not more
than one or two years finds favor with the re-
publicans in France At the same time they
are opposed to anything like Senate or
a second House. The theory of republicans
like Mr.. Conway is that the power should
rest with the people, that the government
should be the expression Of popular will,
that the power should be welded by a lar-
lament fresh from the people, and that there
should be no Executive, no Senate, to stand
between the people and their will. This is
beautiful theory, but we question how it
would succeed even in America. Thus far
it has never been tried even in France with
success. Without committing ourselves to

DISTRESSED MEMBERS. The charter un-
der which the Tammany Society exists was
passed April 8, 1905, more than seventy
years ago, at time when the friends of
Aaron Burr were controlling Tammany Hall.
This charter, among other things, is 'for the
purpose of affording relief to distressed
members" Now the only two distressed
members of Tammany Hall who have re-
ceived relief from their ''fellow members"
so far as we can learn are Harry Genet and
William M. Tweed. Harry Genet was a
distressed member on his way to Jail, and
was relieved by the aid of an officer of ex-
Sheriff Brennan, also Tammany member.
William NJ Tweed was also distressed
member" in sore tribulation, and his
relief came from q protSge Of John
Kelly, both of them Tammany fellow
members of Tweed. The question arises,
and it might be well for Mr.. Clinton to ex-
anime the subject, whether the provision of
the charter directing Tammany ''to afford
relief to distressed members" means that
when Tammany jailkeeper has in his pos
session a Tammany jailbird his obligation to
the secret, dark lantern, Know Nothing
lodge compels him to let the jailbird go.
