Justice for tho Dead.

Our evening contemporary, the CONNER
cial Advertiser, says in reference to the New
Jersey executions:-"Has the murder Of
Officer Brock, in Newark, been supple
mented by the official murder of Ryan and
Oschwald? Should it prove that two inno-
cent men have been executed what could
stay the outburst of popular indignation
against the theory of capital punishment"
If the prevailing doubt as to the guilt Of
Ryan and Oschwald should prove to be we'll
founded it will certainly be terrible re-
Election that very brief delay in the vindi-
cation of "Jersey justice" would have saved
the lives of two innocent men. At the same
time it would be deplorable should any
desire on the part of the Jersey authorities
to save themselves from censure induce
them to discourage the discovery of the
truth. All that could now be done for the
poor fellows who are in their graves, should
they have really persisted unjustly, would
be to clear their names Of the stain of their
conviction They should not, for the sake
Of the friends they have left behind them,
be left with the brand of murder on them.
Besides the real murderer Of Officer Brock
should not escape UNPUBLISHED to laugh at
Jersey justice. 1t is to be hoped, therefore,
that the Jersey authorities will cast off their
apathy and make some effort to discover
whether they have killed two innocent men
and suffered murderer to 60 at large

everybody seems anxious to test the effect OF

We have not had SO many blue lights since

are recommended to cure all kinds Of panes,

The sky itself has got a corner in blue, and
the market is flooded with light goods OF all

The Electoral Count-Ano other Recess.
The counting of the electoral votes made
less progress yesterday than was to have
been hoped, but the days work was. on the
whole, satisfactory. 1t has re-established
confidence in the purpose of the democrats
to act in good faith and make no attempt to
prevent a choice by dilatory expedients or
factious opposition After warm debate
in the House, followed by a strong vote
against the last decision of the commission,
notice was sent to the Senate that
the House was ready to continue the
counting The joint convention imme-
diately met and the votes of Louisiana
Thereupon the opening of the other certif-
Gates proceeded in regular order, with the
usual tedious formalities. Maine was
counted for Hayes, Maryland for Tilden,
Massachusetts, for Hayes; but when Michi-
gan was reached and its certificate opened
an objection was made on the ground of the
ineligibility of one of its electors. The
Senate accordingly retired, and q motion
was made in the House for re-
cess until ten o'clock this morning. That
seemed the most critical moment in the
whole proceedings. for had the recess been
carried it would have been a clear indica-
ton that the democrats intended to defeat
any election by protracting the contest
until after the 4th of March. Hap
PLY, the anxiety which arose was but
momentary. The proposed recess was re-
jected by the triumphant vote of 1914 to 81.
A discussion then ensued on the point Of
eligibility, but the objection was SO mani
testify weak and so unsupported by evidence
that not more than half dozen members
voted to sustain it, In the Senate the vote
was unanimous, all the democrats voting with
the republicans. BY this time confidence and
good feeling had been restored and the count
ing went on with wearisome smoothness
through the successive letters of the alphabet,
including Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Missouri and Nebraska, but was again inter-
rupted on the opening of the Nevada certif-
cate. Here also the objection was to the eli
gibility of an elector and the two houses sep
arated to discuss and consider it. Then
came another motion for recess. II was at
first rejected by majority of twenty in
o thin house, the hour being past
six. But republicans enough changed their
votes to carry the recess, neither party desir-
ing to 60 without their dinner and enter on
two hours debate with empty stomachs.
The recess had no political significance,
being q mere matter of convenience to men,
bers, who were fatigued with a continuous
session since ten o'clock. Oregon will
doubtless be reached at an early hour to-
day and its certificates submitted for the
Judgment of the commission.
