SHOULD BCRKLOW HANG?

We have no sentimental notions about
hanging Where human life is taken, with
deliberation and malice, for purposes of re-
venge, gain. or lust, tina, life should be
atoned for by the application Of the
extreme penalty Of the law to the
culprit, reached through legal forms.
In the cases of Sherry and Connolly,
executed last Friday at Chicago, justice
was, as it should have been, vim
dicated, and society nd of two Of
it's most depraved and brutal mem
bers To the commission Of theft, in
one instance, they added the crime Of muir
der, and if free from restraint would have
made an innocent woman the victim Of their
lust. Ii was not shown that they bore any
malice toward McConville; but it was
proved beyond reasonable doubt that after
stealing the butcher-knife with which his
life was taken, they sailed out into the
street, Boosting Of their intention to STAY,
and it was McConvillc's unfortunate fate
to have been thrown across their path.
Gov. Cullom, very properly, We think, re
fused to interpOse executive clemency in
behalf Of the criminals, and they had to
answer for their crime Now as to the
case Of Burklow. Are there any sound
reasons why he, too, should not suffer
for taking human life Are there
any extenuating circumstances to be
Offered in his behalf Are there
any facts not produced upon trial
which might have wrought different yer
dict! TO these propositions We answer yes !;
but that our readers may form an opin-
ion without prejudice or bias, We will
briefly reci'e some Of the leading. features
in the killing OF Wagner and give state.
men,s made within the past three weeks by
parties who were not upon the witness
stand but whose testimony, it will be adj
mitted would have played a conspicuous
part on the trial. About the killing Of
Wagner by BurkIow there is no doubt.
The prisoner says he did it. As to the
cause there are several versions; but all
agree that it was the result of "A
| quarrel extending over a period vary.
/ ing according to the stories told. from three
months to four or five days. Wagncrs
wife, who is now in this city, and who is
exceedingly bitter against Burklow, says il
originated three months before its fatal
termination. She was never, for some rca.
son, put upon the witness stand. IIci
statement robs the crime of is worst
feature generalization. She says thcr,
had been ill-iccling existing between hcl
husband and Burklow about a SOW pig 70,
three months before the killing but that thi,
was healed over, and the men became upor
speaking terms again; that on the day pre-
vious to the killing of Wagner, she became
involved in a quarrel with Mrs Bufklow

DEATH OF QUEEN ELIZABETH.
10 nDn'a Ill aInrv of Ennln Id |

| u cen nriOry ul Enylh III,
| If ministers ana courtiers were counting
O her death, Elizabeth had 10 mind to
d.. She had enjoyed lie as The men of
he day had enjoyed it, aud now that they
wre gone, she dung to it with fierce te-
ncity. She hunted, she danced, she tested
with her youn, iavorites, she coquetted and
solded and folicked at ST.. .y-seven as she
hid done at hirty. THE queen" ,yrote a
cartier few months before her death,
"yas never % gallant these many years, nor
SC setuponj olli,y." She persisted, in spite
OF opposition, in her gorgeous progresses
from country house to country house.
She chung to business as of
Old. ard rated in her usu-
al fashion, lone who minded
not giving up some matter of account"
But Heath crept on. Her face became bag
gar., and her frame shrank almost TO a
skeeton. At last her taste for fnery dis
appeared, and she refused to change he's
drsses for Il week together. A strange
melancholy settled down on her. 'she
hdd in her hand" says one who saw her in
hr last days, "a golden cup, which she
often put TO her lips; but in truth her heart
seemed too full to need more
filing Gradually her mind gave
way. She lost her memory, the
violence Of her temper became unbcarabe,
her very courage seemed to forsake her.
She called for a sword to lie constantly
beside her, and thrust it from time to time
through the arras, as if she heard murder
ers stirring there. Food and rest became
alike distasteful. She sat day and night,
propped up on stool, her finger on her
lip, her eyes fixed on the floor without a
word. If she ever broke the silence, il was
a flash of her own queeniness When
Robert Cecil declared that she must 90
to bed, the word reused her like trumpet.
Must" she exclaimed; rs must word to
be addressed to princess Little man, little
man thy father, if he had been alive,
burst not have used that word Then,
as her anger spent itself, she sank into
her old detection. Thou art so presump-
tous,n she said. "becausc thou knowcst |
shall die" She rallied once more when
the ministers beside her bed named Lord
the heir to the Suffolk claim,
as possible successor. II will have no
rogue's SON. she cried hoarsely, in my
seat" But she gave no sign, save motion
Of the head, at the mention o. the king OF
Scots. She was, in fact, fast becoming u
sensible, and early the next morning, on
the cath of March, 1903, the life of
life 50 great. so s,.ange
and lonely in its greatness ebbed away.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Editor Seafinel and Repubiican-Dear Sir,
There seems to be an uncommon stir among
the Democratic brethren in regard to the
nomination of candidate for District At
torney, and while efforts and counter efforts
have been going on in the camp Of the DEM
ccracy, our camp has been as silent on the
question of Attorneyship as if no such an
important office is to be elected. i do be-
lieve that We should not be so Indifferent
as to the Attorneyship, and therefore |
nominate J. S. ARNOLD, ESQ.,, of Richfeld,
as candidate for the Office of District At
torney. supject to the rules for the govern
ment of the Republican party. Mr.. Arnold
is young man OF energy, and speaks flu
emily in both the German and English Ian
guages. MONROE.
