The voters of the Fourth Congressional dis
trict of Connecticut are again confronted with
choice of evils. For years they have SUBJ
mitted without protest to the money power, in
politics and, without revolt, have seen corrup-
ton thrive and Increase in their district until
the nomination for Congress there has become
the perquisite of cash and ban of. brains.
With SO notorious opponents of the Infamous
Salisbury plan" as Messrs. Barnum and
Miles-both of whom in strict accord with the
fitness of things live in the town of Salisbury
the evil seems to have reached climax
where government by the people becomes
themselves to check the tide of corruption.

seems most promising ground for ellen

tween F and G northeast; Mr.. A. NJ. Ka-

reiary. Professor Gallaudet, OF the Co.
lumbian Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb, was introduced and remarked that
he had given the subject OF punishment
OF criminals considerable thought, but had
not come to definite conclusions as 10 the
punishment which should be inflicted for
rape. He was OF the opinion that thirty
years imprisonment was not the sure and
lasting penalty needed for such crime.
II he had the power the punishment he
would impose would be absolute certainty
that the criminal would never again be
capable OF committing the crime, and
never be the father Of offspring whs might
grow up with the same propensities. Sew.
eral congressman are Ia favor Of the plan.
He continued TO speak OF the hereditary
disposition TO commit crime, which statis-
tics show to be true to great extent. He
was in favor OF entirely putting stop to
the possible transmission OF such posterity
among US. Let tue criminal be tie last Of
his race. The punishment by hanging
dignities the crime, and makes sort Of
hero Of the criminal. Many reforms are
needed in relation to our executions. He
would make 1t illegal to publish in news,
papers anything about the execution Of
murderers, except simply TO state the fact
that the culprit was hanged. A vote oil
thanks was given 10 Professor GaIlaudet.

that the new Constitution had stepped in
