perfect fizzle. The home rulers in Lon

they would organize meetings in such
fashion rs to exclude the Tichborneites
and other similar factions. These people
generally make themselves and those to
whom they attach themselves ridiculous.
The present Irish agitation is essentially a

mentioned by the HERALD on Thanksgiving

soul who called in person. If other tender

Capital Punishment by Chloroform


The advocates of the guillotine, the
garrote, the tenotomy, carbonic oxide,
electricity and several other modes of
death in substitution for the halter having
each been heard, we present to-day the
argument for chloroform. 1t is preceded
by some comments upon the survival Of
sensation after the drop in hanging and
also after decapitation. The latter is q
topic which has been extensively debated
by the most eminent psychologists of
France ever since the guillotine was
adopted in that country, but with
out any unanimous conclusions. We do
not believe that the question involved in
these comments is of great practical i'm
portance in respect to abolishing the gal
lows. The customary bungling of the
Sheriff before the doomed man is swung off
and while his capacity of sensation un-
questionably exists does not need to be
reinforced by subsequent horrors, and in
connection with the Sheriff's preliminary
barbarities we welcome our correspondents
suggestion that the French aud Germans
are more humane than ourselves in giving
their criminals only q few hours notice OF

The BALLAST QUEsrIoN.-A greater
portion Of the afternoon was taken up
yesterday in Justice SCOTS court, in
hearing the case of the City Of Seattle
against Capt. L. L. Simmons. OF the
bark Great Western. The case was
about as follows: Captain Marshall
arranged with Captain Simmons TO
have ballast in the bark dumped on tho
pile of rocks already inside the piling
of his wharf, stating that he had made
it all right with some OF the Council
men. Surprising everything all right,
Captain Simmons had MS vessel raoor-
ed alongside tho wharf and commenced
dischargipg his ballast at the place
designated by Mr.. Marshall. Mr.
Minnick then proceeded to serve no.
tice on Captain $, to the effect that it
was contrary to city ordinance to
throw ballast in the harbOr. and re-
quested him to desist. To settle the
matter Captain Simmons got the adj
vice OF q counsel. after which be con
tinued to discharge his ballast. \
warrant was issued for the Captain,
and he appeared yesterday for trial.
The evidence went TO show that por-
ton Of the rock and dirt discharged
from the bark slid or rolled down the
sides of the ballast pile, and outside Of
the line Of the wharf. After thorough
hearing of both sides. Mr.. Scott fined
defendant S115 aud costs. His attorney.
Mr.. James Mcknight. gave notice Of
an appeal to the District Court. w.
H. White. Esq. conducted the case on
the part Of the city. in very able
manner. Mr.. Mcknight introduced
some constitutional points, which will
probably occupy the attention Of tho
District Court, At tho next session.
when this question Of municipal author
ity in such matters will perhaps be
settled.
