Whatever opinion one may ADOPT as to the
effects for good or evil Of system Of capital
punishment for certain crimes, there can be
no question that the publicity given to execu-
hons in this country is entirely hurtfuI The
force OF the warning against crime furnished
by the infection OF the death penalty seems
weakened rather than strengthened By the
morbid interest with which the pubic Is en-
abled to trace the details OF the punishment.
In too many cases sympathy for the one about
to die wells the hideous features of his crime
and exalts him to the position OF hero or mar
Tyr. This Objectionable feature OF our present
system can well be spared. III death be the
only adequate punishment for certain crimes,
not only should its infictiOn be a matter of
certainty. whep these crimes are committed,
but the executiOner should do his Work pri
yately. Something has been attempted in
This direction in France. No previous notice
Is given of the intention to execute a c.inina'.
The guillOtine is noiSelessly erected near the
prison in the night. and at daybreak tle eys.
cut on takes place. A few spectators are !,
no se ver, generally on hand. 1t is now pro
posed TO do away with even this amount OF
puSicity, and to inflict the death penalty in
the Sec-t cy of the prison precincts. Advo-
Gates as we'll as opponents of capital punish
ment Will favor change in our own practice
IN this respect. The benevolent principles on
which opposition to the death penalty Is based
Will lead the latter TO encourage the removal
OF anything that is Injurious to the public;
while the advocates of capital punishment
Should be glad to work a reform which will
take the ground from under one half of the
argun ents against the system which they up
hold

1t Is possible that in the rowing match at
Montreal yesterday between Hanlan and
Courtney the race was not sold by the latter to
the friends OF the former, as was specifically
charged in advance but the fact that he lost
1t and the circumstances attending his defeat
certainly give some color of justice to the
charge. The dispatches giving the result say
there is no doubt that the race was a fair
and square one, each man doing his best to
win," but in spite of this assurance, and in
spite, also, of the claim that 'Such advantages
as there were were entirely with Hanian," the
facts that Courtney fouled with the buoy in
making the turn and afterwards got into Han
lan's water on the home stretch can hardly be
regarded as otherwise than suspicious. ANY
way, the case seems to be so muddled that
nothing can be settled by it, save that Han-
lan's hackers got away with good deal of
money, hut whether fairly or not will proba-
bly, never be known.
The truth is, and there Is no use trying to
disguise it, that, while it may be different ON
the other side Of the Atlantic, it has become
SO common in this country to manipulate all
contests of skill and strength in the interest
OF gamblers and booksellers that the general
public has ceased TO care anything for them
since it is understood that whatever the re-
suit may be it does little or nothing toward
settling the question of real superiority on the
part of the contestants.
