A correspondent OF the London Times at
Geneva gives as a reason why tho canton OF
Vaud voted by a large majority in favor OF capt.
tai punishment that one CHRISTIAN wYso an
incorrigible criminal. is soon TO be released
and 1t is feared that. as prisons have no terrors
for him, he will not hesitate to add mother MUIR
der to his list Of crimes. The correspondent
says that tho case OF this malefactor has been
their strongest argument in favor OF the restor-
alton OF capital punishment. for in the absence
OF power to infict tho death penalty prisoner
sentenced to long term OF Imprisonment may
commit murder with impunity."
Tho same question arose in Rhode Island. a
few years ago. when q convict imprisoned for
life Joined in an attempt to escape. which
nearly proved fatal to one OF the keepers. A
law was then enacted providing that any person
sentenced to Imprisonment for life who should
commit murder while undergoing such i'm
prisonment should be hanged. SO far no oc-
casion has arisen to carry the law into effect.

seem TO recognize the fact that their COM
munion lacks vitality, has not blood enough
TO keep warm. Mr.. FRoTHNoBAM would
probably ask no odds from Mr.. CoLLYER In
q preaching contest, and yet he has not been
successful In New York, which, with all it's
skepticism, does not take to that variety Of
religion which tries to feed the philosophio
intellect, and not tho religious heart. Be-
sides, the class OF people who are nearest In
agreement with such preachers arc not apt
to DO fond OF sermons OF any sort, and many
Of them do not count church going among
their duties.
Mr.. CoLLYER, therefore, may find out that
he has made mistake IN coming to New
York, and that tho pulpit eloquence which
stlrs Chicago will have no gEeat effect here.
Any way. when he tries to lift the Church Of
the Messiah out OF the slough OF despond, he
will discover that no has undertaken the
toughest Job TO which he ever laid his hands.
Unitarlanlsm has not succeeded In New
York as an organized religious movement,
however great may be the number OF those
here who are disposed to favor the doctrines

Ten New Cardinals.

On more than ono account tho last addi-
tion to the College OF Cardinals must be
reckoned among the remarkable events in
the modern history Of the Papacy. Enough
Is now known OF the antecedents and qualh-
cations OF the new members to make It GER
tain that at no time have so many eminent
men been admitted in one group to the
Sacred Senate; nor has the traditional jeal-
ousy OF foreign candidates ever been so COM
pletely dlsregarded.
or the ten persons who, on the morning OF
the 18th OF May, wero made Princes of the
Church, four were chosen by tho Pope him
self, one was imposed on the Pontlff by the
unanimous wish OF tho College, and five
were selected in compliance with the ro-
quests Of Catholic sovereigns Not ono OF
them, however, belonged to the clique
known under the late Pontff as tho Vatican
Prelature and some OF them undoubtedly
would have been rejected by the Sacred
College had II enjoyed the right OF naming
Its own members. Indeed, certain among the
ter might be specified who were repeatedly
refused tho Cardinalate by Plus TX. 1t is true
that three or four Of the new Cardinals have
professod with considerable zeal what arc
known as ultramontane opinions, RS, for in
stance, one OF the two Austrian nominees,
Cardinal DE FtRsrENBERG, and one of the two
Frcnchmen, Cardinal PIE, Archbishop Of
Poictiers. But these arc Offset by tho Hun
garian Cardinal, HAYSALD, who earnestly
opposed the infalliblity dogma at the Vati-
can Council, and 10y the extremely moderate
French prelate, Cardinal DEsPREz, who, it
Is understood, received the hat intended for
Bishop DUPASLoUP. Tho fifth candidate
successfully urged by q Catholic sovereign
was Cardinal FHRREIRA DOS SANTOS SILVA,
Bishop of OportO, who Is understood to be a
man OF learning and Of conciliatory temper.

1t may interest the opponents of Chinese
immigration to know that during several con-
turtles past the severest measures OF proscrip-
ton have been practsed against the Mongolians
in the Philippine Islands, but without checking
the influx Of tho hated and prosecuted race As
far back as the middle Of the sixteenth century
an effort was made TO drive the Chinese from
Luzon, the chief complaint against them being
that they worked for very small wages At the
beginning OF the seventeenth century twenty
thousand of them were slaughtered and multi
tudes were expelled from the settlements to die
of starvation. Nevertheless they continued to
arrive. In 1908 the colonial Government de-
creed that not moro than six thousand Chinese
should be permitted 10 live on the islands they
were to confne themselves to agricultural labor,
and were required to pay a heavy poll tax.
Nevertheless tho number Of Chinese residents
steadily increased until 1t reached forty thou

Blaming the Police.

There appears to be an undue haste in
censurng the police for not having already
discovered the murderer of Mrs. HULL.
This is unjust. We have seen no evidence
that the police have been negligent.
There Is degree OF detective talent some
times found in n single individual which
might have been adequate to the discovery
OF circumstances. before this time, by which
the murderer could have been traced with
certainty. The police officers are not TO be
blamed for not possessing this wonderful
gift. 1t is very rare.
We see no reason for concurrIng In the
belief that the homicide will never be found
out, and that this will pass into the same
category with the NATHAN and ROGERS
murders. The probabilities are that tho
whole mystery will yet be unravelled.
