An Argument Against Capital Punishment.

An Argument Against Capital Punishment.
A remarkable illustration OF the value Of
the electric telegraph, and strong argument
against capital punishment, were furnished on
Friday. If there had been no telegraphic sta
tion at Windsor, W., or If the wires there had
not been In working order, JoHN p. PHAIn
would have been hanged that afternoon. As
1t is, he Will no: be hanged for week GER
tainly, and he may not he hanged at all. The
telegraph often helps to bring men to deserved
punishment. In this case, perhaps, It has
saved man from unjust punishment.
However, 1t may turn out in the end the
facts are an argument against capital pun
bhment. Whether PHAIR Is or Is not the
man who was seen by Mr.. DOWNING at a time
and in place which would establish an allLi
for the convict is q question yet TO be an
swered. If Mr.. DOWNING had not recollected
until today the meeting and the conversation
OF which he gives an account, Il would have
been too late TO answer the question, and 1t
never would have been known whether the
right or the wrong man had been hanged. The
situation of affairs then would have been
rather uncomfortable not only for PuAIR, but
for the advocates Of the death penalty. Mis-
takes are possible even In what seem TO be
the CleRrest cases. Is It right for society 10

FACTS ABOUT TIE NAVY DFPiRT
UEyT


An evening PAPER Of this city recently
made an editorial statement respecting
Secretary robson which was not jusli.
fed by the facts In the case. 1t insiuuates
that the affairs Of the Navy Department
were not left in good condition by Score.
taiy RoDEsoN. But mark how plain
tale shall put this unjust insinua,iou down.
Secretary RonEsoN asked the las, Con-
eress to appropriate for the current year
S.GOo, 600 for pay Of the navy. and proved
to the Naval Committee that that sum was
needed 10 pay each officer ard man the
amount given him by the law. The House
protested to know better, and appropsi.
ated So, 1900 When Congress met last
Dec mber they were confronted with the
demand from the Secretary TO appropri
ate the difference between his estim ties
and the appropriation, in order to carry
cut their own laws fixing the pay.
The House again, In its superior wisdom,
refused the Secretsry's appeal, and appro-
priated for the deficiency only 81, O0O, 900,
instead Of In round numbers g., 900. 900.
Of course the new Secretary cannot psy
100000 with 81 900. 600. and hence ii.
happens that he finds the funds SO depleted
that the officers must go without their pay"
till Congress appropriates the remaining
$1,000. 900.
The whole talk about saving or squan-
deriDg on this appropriation Is all bosh. II
Congress appropriated for this purpose
$4,000, COO the Secretary could not spend
more than the IS, coo, 600 required by the
law, and If only $4,000. OCo should be ap-
propnated the Government would owe our
gallant officers and men at the end of the
fiscal year "a, oO0. 00s, just as It will owe
them at the end of this year 81 900, 900.
And all through no fault Of any Secretary,
but entirely chargenble to our last psrsl
monious House Of Representatives with its
eyes wide open.
