Yesterdays ballot at Albany was the fullest
taken on Monday since the voting began, which
is perhaps i'll itself slight sign of encouragement
as showing an increase of earnestness upon the
part of the members. There were p members
absent, of whom II were recognized sup
pOrters of the Administration. Mr.. Miller re-
ceived 81 votes, and Mr.. Lapham 60; if these
IL Administration members had been present
and had cast their votes for Mr.. Mler-as it
is reasonable to presume they would have
done-he would have received 70 votes
or within seven of majority of the
full Legislature, which the illness of Mr.
l. S. Carpenter reduces to 153 members
The Legislature is, therefore, nearer by ap-
parently Is votes to the election of q Senator
than it has ever been before, Mr.. Depew's
highest vote having been So This is great
gain, and one that will tend to make
the position of the COnkling boilers
more and more indefcnsble before the
people as the days go by. The only
circumstance to be regretted in the
present attitude of affairs is that such an
active friend of the Administration as Senator
Forster should be throwing away his vote at a
time when it could be more useful than ever
before, and that Mr. BOardman, who has
steadily voted against Mr.. Conkling, is now as
steadily voting against the caucus nominees
We hope TO see both these gentlemen voting
with the Republican party to- day.

commenting upon the matter, remarked
that ut would be great pity IL, after STAN
ley Matthews railroad bias has been so thor
oughly exposed and proved, a majority Of
Senators OF either party could be found will
ing TO place him where the railroad ring
wants him. No service can be rendered TO
the railroad power more essential than a
vote given on the Supreme Bench against
the constitutionality of the Thurman act.
The ring expects Mr.. Matthews as Judge to
carry out the railroad views he championed as
Senator These men know their agents and
friends better than we do. 1t is enough for
us that Mr.. Matthews is their candidate,
obligingly forced upon the Senate for mys-
FERROUS reasons by two successive Presidents.
1t is always right to oppose what the rail-
road combination demands; and we wonder
that any Senator ambitious of political fu-
ture for himself and party should throw
away so good chance to distinguish him
self and TO serve his country by an act so
conducive to both" Now, that the evil is
consummated, it will be well to comprehend
its magnitude, that steps may be taken so
far as practicable to counteract it. The con-
frmation of Stanley Matthews is a most
shameful proceeding, and adds still more to
the odium which attaches to the Supreme
Court.

period, only 6s5 were convicted, and but 10
per cent. or 372, were executed. The
figures given for Ireland-sixty-six SEN
fences and thirty-six executions during the
last twenty years-seem very low. Italy
contests the questionable precedence with
the United States, but makes bad second
with Zoo annual homicides and very few
executions. With regard to the effect of
the abolition of capital punishment, the
Association says: Experience now ex-
tending overy many years shows this result
in general-that, wherever the capital pen
atty has been substituted by a severe Sec
ondary punishment, enforced with compar-
alive certainty and under common sense
conditions, murders have not increased, but
the certainty of conviction and punishment
has increased. The capital penalty is now
abolished in Holland, Finland, Portugal,
Roumafiia, Belgium, practically; and in the
United States in Michigan, Wisconsin,
Rhode Island and Maine" Such statistics
are well calculated to impress the public
mind that the death penalty does not ac-
complish special benefits, and since ex-
perience demonstrates the fact, it might be
well to consider the propriety of abolishing
it from the statute books.

INDIANA AND THE LATE PRESID EN-
TIAI, ELECTION

Events that have recently transpired have
brought the late presidential campaign and
election in Indiana into such prominence
that the discussion of these topics becomes q
matter of supreme importance to the Demo
cratic press OF the State and Of the entire
country. 1t must be remembered that after
the election, Dorsey, the Star Route thief,
was honored with a banquet. II was de.
signed for the purpose of extolling Dorsey
for carrying Indiana. Grant presided at that
dinner, and among the guests were Hanil-
ton Fish, ex-Secretary of State under Grant;
Chester A. Arthur. Vice President-elect;
Henry Ward Beecher and other distin-
guished Republicans. Grant eulogized
Dorsey. Beecher pronounced the Star
Route thiefs exploits in Indiana as mira
acles But Chester A. Arthur was more
explicit in his declarations than the other
stalwarts, probably because he knew more
about Dorsey's plans and methods. The
following extracts from Arthur's speech on
that occasion are taken from the New York
Tribunes report:

ny Garfield as Marshal of the District of
Columbia, isan intimate and personal friend
Of the President. Garfield and Henry were
boys together in Ohio, living in adjoining
Counties. They kept company all the time
they were together at Hiram Institute, the
President as Principal and Captain Henry

the College Principal became Colonel of the
Forry-seeond Ohio Regiment, and selected
Captain Henry as his Adjutant. After the
War Captain Henry was appointed Special

not only simple but certainly safe and

may get their goods at wholesale prices.

Much is said by the friends of the Presi-
dent about Senator Conkling's selfish and
domineering nature. 1t is charged that he
insists upon his right to name the persons
who shall be appointed to Federal offices in
New York. In short, the Presidents friends
say that "bossism" in the Republican party
can be tolerated no longer. Ali this sounds
like pretense in Indiana, in view of the
manner in which appointments have been
made in this State by the present Admins
tration. II bossism is wrong in Senator
Conkling, it is equally wrong when tolerated
| in others. There is too much intelligence
in the country not to see that the Admins
tration recognized the right in other Sena-
tors to boss appointments in their respective
States, while Senator Conkling is criticised
and abused for insisting exercising
the same right. Indiana has but one
Republican Senator, and it is now well un-
derstood that the President will make no
appointments in Indiana contrary to his
wishes II it is wrong for Senator Conkline
to control the Federal patronage OF New
York, il is difficult To understand why Sen
ator Harrison should control the patronage
of Indiana Senator Harrison and his friends
in times past, were not moderate in censure
Of Senator Morton and others for appointing
men To Office who did not happen to please
them. Bossism is very odious to Civil Ser
vice Reformers when their friends are not
the lucky recipients of favor. This isshown
by the fact that those in the State who had
prated longest and loudest about civil service
reforms, have Endorsed Senator Harrison.
course Ii remains TO be seen whether the
Republicans OF Indiana will submit to b,
thus bossed by the new Senator.

TIE study of crime, criminals, criminal
laws and penalties is becoming matter OF
more importance than formerly. Laws
which impose extreme penalties do not
contribute to the public welfare to the ex-
tent that many persons SUPPOSE. The En-
gagged IN collecting statistics relating to the
crime OF murder in various countries, and
the conclusion is arrived at that sit is hard
70 secure convictions when the penalty is
capital punishment, and harder to secure
an enforcement of the law under such cir
eumssances. In this country there are said
70 be about $500 murders annually, but
only about 100 executions, to which must
be added, however, a nearly equal number
of lynchings. For Europe the figures are
more exact. In Austria, during a recent
decade. there were 500 sentences to death
and sixteen executions; in France, 1913 SEN
fences and ninety-three executions; in
Spain, 291 sentences and 126 executions; in
Sweden, thirty-two sentences and three exc
cutions; in Norway, fourteen sentences arsl
three executions; in Denmark, ninety four
sentences aud just one execution; in Ger
many, 1901 convictions 4s4 death sem
fences, and one (Hodel) execution. In En-

is 76 per cent, but in capital cases it falls to
80 per cent thus, out of zoos persons
