this world Of sorrow and distress. If be
is guilty then there ia but little doubt
but that his punishment is just, but II
his innocence, as he asserts. should in
the future be proved. then fearful re-
sponsibility will be found at somebody q
door. The taking away of human life
even BY hanging is no unlmportant
affair, and if that life is unjustly put
under cloud then serious mistake IL
somewhere apparent. This system OF
capital punishment has its destinations
in certain parts of the world, but there
is o barbarous feature nbout it which Its
greatest supporters must acknowledge.

Justice and truth will triumph in the end.
YESTERDAY was merry day in most
quarters of the town. There is some
thing in the sound of sleigh bells that
enervates every heart. and turnouts of

criminals deep in the gulf of crime and
contempt.
That was q strange sight in the House
yesterday when Joe Woodwork was
reading that long bill which WAS vetoed
by the Governor. Members were sitting
around with their feet on the tables,
some we're writing. some reading news
papers, some eating crackers and smok-

the time in the best manner possible.
Joe has clear. open voice. but when
legislator is hungry and tired, when he
has already been sitting in his seat for a
couple of hours and more, and the bill
ia uncommonly long aud dry. then Joe
loses his control of the audience, and his
words become like seeds sown upon un-
fruitful ground.

ed unanimously in the meeting OF
the California stockholders: Re-
solved, That the thanks of the stock
holders are due to the Trustees for
their efficient management during
the past year. 1nasmuch es these
