THE DEATH PENALTY.

A Notable ExeestISn 10 LsHlslaha - The
Criminal lHsllhss bic Conduct, and
Manifesto : Perfect Indifference Of
Death.
LAKE CHARLES, La, July 25.-Jules
Guidry, condemned for the murder Of
John Beale, was executed to-day at this
place, on the square adjoining the Jail.
He was handcutIed, and mounted the
scaffold at 20 minutes to 2 p.m., assist
ed by the Sbsrif and . friend, accom-
panied by q young Priest. Guidry,
during his prison life, gave himself up
apparently to religious instruction, He
was sent to New Orleans parish
prison for safe keeping, because q res
cue was dreaded. He arrived here on
the 18th. Since he has been here, he
has borne himself brAvely. He was
very firm, cool and determined, but
constantly declared be ought not to die
for the killing Of Beale, because Beale
had seduced his wife and ruined his
home and his children's future. Guidry
behaved on the gallows in . desperate
manner. He addressed the crowd and
said he killed Beale, aud would do it
gain that he would die like q man that
he did not care to die. Father Charles
said few words Of prayer; he nodded
his head aS'if asserting, turned TO his
friend on the scaffOld and said: VI am
firm l am not afraid to die" He con-
tinued talking loud to the crowd, de-
clariDg his Indifference to death, and
that he would commit the crime again
and again that he was justified.
Before he was pinioned be took up
the rope In his hand as II was dangling
from the beam above him; he handled
the rope and examined the noese,
and said "the fall is not enough; /
want my neck broke BY q fall Of ten
feet" The Sheriff heightened the rope,
but this did not satify him, and he
tried the slip-knot to see If il would
work easily. When the black cap was
put over his head, be cried out: "Why,
l can see everything" The rope was
adjusted, and the slip.knot tightened;
he said, Not 60 tight; but put the
knot more on the side of my neck" Az
the Sheriff took up the az to cut the
rope, he cried out jeeringly, ~ can see
you are going to cut the rope" In q
few seconds more, while the con.
demned man was saying that he did
not care, the ak fell, the rope parted,
and Guidry died almost instantaneous
ly. The fall was fully eight feet, If
not more.

What is Ihe Remedy:

CnIcagD tribune, 2jd,
The fret and most important duty is
to quell the mob rule, to stop violence,
pillage and incendlarism at all hazards,
and to restore law and order, and
place the safety Of the general commu-
nifty in the hands 0; the duly consti-
tuted authorities, instead OF exposing
1t to the blind, passionate, unrea .oning
fury Of the mob, which has neither dis
cretion nor discrimination. This done.
an equally imperative duty devolves
upon the railroad companies. They
must cease cutting each others throats
as they have been doing for the past
twelve months, and must make their
agreements binding. The community
does not ask Of them 10 work for q re.
muneration less than the cost or value OF
the service. II does not ask them to
carry fleight or passengers for less
than living rates or at rates that com.
pei them 10 reduce the wages of their
employees down 10 the starving point.
The first step for them to take il 10
raise their charges, not exorbilanIly,
but fairly and reasonably, and then re-.
storing the last two cuts Of wages, let
them alone, and await the great crops
to handle aud the changes 10 the fiscal
affairs of the country that will tend to
restore business prosperity and place
values on an improving basis. The
reduction of the mems wages does
not benefit them so long as this in
sane competition 10 kept up, Every
reduction Of wages 10 followed by re.
duction Of rates, and If wages were
lowered TO cent per day, rates would
be put down to zero, with a premium
offered to shippers. The quickest go
luton Of the present problem, 8 partial
remedy ct least, so isr as we can see, is
for the railroads to make a schedule of
rates on the alive and let live" basis.
They must charge enough to pay their
men-such compensation as 10 enable
them TO pay rent aud fuel aud feed and
clothe themselves aud their families.
Before this can be done, however, mob
rule and violence must be suppressed.
whatever may be the cost or the conse.
quences.
