yERMoNr,s CURIOUS LAW.

The T~Tmes-Jotrnal, Of st. Louis, we
think, misapprehends both the intent
and effect of the Vermont law which
requires two years. time to intervene
between the sentence and execution Of
a murderer. As the LEADER under
stands it, the law was framed by the
humane opponents Of capital punish
ment. They could not hope for a law
abolishing the death penalty, SO they
did the next best thing by providing
for a period Of rest for the inflamed
passions Of the public. When the time
fixed upon for the execution arrived,
public opinion would naturally be
move for a modification Of punishment,
and life Imprisonment would take the
place Of hanging. Subsequent events
have provedthe correctnessoft this nov
81 theory, well worthy Of the Yankee
brain. Since that law went into effect
but two murderers have been convicted
in Vermont. The first n Is now in
the ~penitentiary for life, having had a
Communication of sentence. The Sec
ond was sentenced only two weeks ago,
and 1t is safe to say he will never be
hanged. So instead Of Vermont being
''the most barbarous state in the un-
ion,'' as the 1imes-Journal says, she Is
one of the most humane.

PAYING TaE PIPER.

1t Is an interesting question just now
In England which viii pay for the
Afghan war-the English or Indian
government. We're equity and fair
dealing to decide 1t would seem to be
the duty Of the parent government to
foot the bills. The conflict was caused
by the jealousy of the ministry at Lon.
don Of Russia, who had sent ENJOYS to
Cabul. England distrusted Russian as
cendsncy 80 close to the Indian borders
and wanted TO counteraetthat influence.
The natives were NOT. and cannot be,
sufficiently interested to overexert
themselves either physically or fnan-
cially. In any event their condition is
not likely to be much improved, and
