SOWING THE WIND.

The greatest outrage of the century was
perpetrated by the English parliament
last night in expelling Parnell, Dillon
and the other home rulers. 1t is a
stretch of despotic power which
will react against those who exercised it
and sows the seed which may make even
the throne of England tremble. If
Parnell and his associates were trouble
some it was because the outrageous treat
ment of Ireland made the justice of their
cause an unpleasant theme for the
English ear. 'sThe blood of the martyrs
is the, seed of the church, and the
high hand proceeding of the Gladstone
party breaks the chains which arc now
rivetcd upon Ireland. 1t may be long
and bloody record that awaits that I'M
happy island, before victory is achieved,
but the gross injustice perpetrated and
the browning outrage of suppression of
freedom of speech will have but one re-
suit. <.
John Brown was hung at Harper's
Ferry. He was fanatical to insanity and
paid the penalty of the offense, but from
that day American slavery was doomed.
The men who caused his execution passed
from power forever in very short time,
and the sentiment which gave them
the courage to execute a crazy old man
was utterly changed.
The Gladstone ministry have signed
their own death warrant, and the senti-
ment which now endorses them may
change as rapidly as it did in this country,
and as disastrously. England's long
period of tranquility has lulled her into
fancied security, but she is on the break
ers. Her throne may yet pay the penalty
of her arrogance and oppression.

these miscreants will hope for release,
and too often their hopes are realized.
The executive is not always proof against
entreaty or other influences, and very
often permits his feelings to get the
better of his judgment in the matter of
the issuance of pardons. -
The only fault the GLOBE has to find
with the bill now pending is that it per-
mits of the exercise of discretion by ju-
ries in the imposition of sentences for
this most heinous of all crimes. The
provisions of law should be mandatory.
The crime Is clearly defined by statute,
and if the evidence sustains the indict-
ment the sentence should be inflexibly
imposed, and should not be subject to
revision or mitigation in the slightest de-
gree. Such law is necessary for the
protection of the lives of peaceable citi-
zens, and should be enacted by the legis-
lature. But as there seems to be an in
disposition to 60 to such an extent-too
much tenderness for outlawry and crime
the act, even in its present insufficient
form, should be passed 1t will undoubt-
eddy receive the governors signature.

Before the debate could proceed further, the

THE DEATH PENALTY.
ment.

The House yesterday defeated the bill
to restore the death penalty for murder
in the first degree. The vote was, how
ever, reconsidered, and the bill will come
up again in day or two.
The legislature will make a serious mis-
take if it fails to enact this law. The
frequency of capital crimes in this State
of late years show the necessity of some
more severe punishment than is. now
melted out to malefactors. Death by hang
ing is often too mild a punishment for
the most forms of murder, but under our
present law this cannot be inflicted, and i,
as consequence, the wretches guilty of
such crimes go unwhipt of justice. The
pending bill is not cast-iron one, but
leaves to the jury the discretion of pre-
scribing hanging or Imprisonment for
life as a punishment, according to the
circumstances attendant upon the COM
mission of the crime.
The man who deliberately and malici-
ously takes the life of fellow being, no
matter what the provocation, forfeits his
ownsright to life. He places himself on
the level of the wild beasts, and should be
treated not only as an enemy of society
but as an enemy of the entire human race.
Condemnation to Imprisonment for life is
not an adequate punishment for his
crime, for rs long as life lasts the hope of
escape or pardon will not desert him.
That hope is fostered by his associates
outside of the prison walls. and by the
sentimentality of so-called phllanthro-
pists who never weary of keeping before
the minds of the convicts the beauties of
the outside world, and extending to them
the prospect of. release in
case of good behavior. The prison
statistics of the State of Illinois show
that the average duration of life sentences
IN that State during the past thirty years
has been less than eleven years. Several
scores of malefactors, whose hands we're
dyed in human blood, were pardoned on
the ground that their health was so bad
as to jeopardize their lives. Most of
these recovered after their release, and
without exception again entered upon
career Of crime. AS long as life exists

1t has been rumOred among the members of
the Harmonic society that at the next meeting
of the society resolution would be introduced
asking for the expulsion of Mr.. Max Segel-
baum, one of the firm of Segelbaum Bros,
from the society, owing to the ungentlemanly
conduct of Mr.. Segelbaum toward his wife at
the masquerade ball given by the German So
ciety at the Ath2num in st. Paul last week.
The facts as given to GLOBE representative
yesterday by friend of both parties, are as
follows: Some days previous to the masquer-
ade Mrs Segelbaum spoke to her husband
about attending, and proceeded to prepare a
costume for the occasion. On the day of the
entertainment Mr.. Segelbaum requested his
wife not to attend, and went also to Mr..
Hinch and wife, and told them that he did not
desire his wife to go. However, in the evening
Mrs. Segelbaum started for st. Paul with Mr..
Hinch and wife in hack, the party being
further reinforced by the addition of MIR.
Zhereny, a young gentleman from Germany,
who has only been resident of this country
about six months. After finding that his wife
had left for the ball Mr.. Segelbaum went to
the depot in East Minneapolis intending to
meet the train which his wife would take and
bring her home. He waited about forty.five
minutes, only to find the party had gone By
team to st. Paul. He Immediately proceeded
to the Athen9um, and meeting his wife in
company with Mr.. Zhereny he created quite a
scene, and, owing to his conduct, was chal.
lenged to a duel by Mr.. Zhereny. Several
members OF the society who were approached
on the subject yesterday stated that the report
about Mr.. Segel5aum was not true, and that
if such resolution was introduced it would
not be considered by the society, and would
do more injury to the person offering it than
to anyone else. The duel which was expected
to follow the affair has not taken place at the
present writing, and as Mr.. Zhereny has been
enlightened as to the customs of Minnesota by
his friends, til probable that it will not result
in any blOodshed. e

found in the State of Rhode Island, which was
entitled to only one Representative on the basis
OF votes. The South would get SO members
and the North 21S. Strictly speaking, under

ing out of nearly one-fOurth Of the entire vote
OF several States of the Union was little less
than crime.
Mr.. Mcmillan called attention to the fact
that in the election of 1878 Mr.. Hoar had re-
ceiyed IL 900 votes against Il, 900 in opposition
and inquired why the gentleman's cOnscien-
tious qualms in favor Of the rights of the ma
jority hadn't struck him earlier.
Mr.. HOar replied at that election the Green
back craze with which the gentleman was af-
| fiicted had run through his district, but at the
| last election the people had come to their
senses. In concluding he said he believe the
majority bill had been drawn for the purpose
Of giving greater strength to the South. For
| one he was fully determined to oppose the
measure first, last and all the time, and that
| too, with all the means kind providence and
parliamentary law would permit. 5
Mr.. McLane said If the government sup
posed the white voters of the North meant to
deprive negroes of the right to vote, he should
possess his soul in patience. The South &C.
cepted in it's full development the theory pro-
pounded by the gentleman fo)m New York,
(COx,) that the constitution of the United
States based representation on population, and
past experience had given confidence in the
result of universal suffrage. There was nc
occasion for the government to suppose the
| negroes Of the South, whether they be voters
or Representatives, would fail below the level
of the white voter or white Representatives,
| as had often been found in States north,
| and upon this floor.
Mr.. Keifer recommended the bill OF the mi
| nority, fixing representation at $40, as meas.
| ure fair and just, which could not be said fol
either the majority bill or the bill originally

himself chiefly to discussion of an amend
ment which he proposed to offer, to put ar

| flowed from it In his own State. The matter
