WANTED, A SUBSTITUTE FOR HANGING.

A few days ago two men were executed
by hanging in one of the Western States,
and while one of them had the skin OF the
lower part of his face torn off by the rope,
and was then slowly strangled, the other
died an equally lingering death. A few
years ago in this State mans head was
pulled off in attempting to hang him. At
brief intervals frequent horrible incidents
of this kind occur, and though it is evident
that hanging is one of the clumsiest, most
barbarous and uncertain modes of execu-
ton, and though it is equally evident that
criminals could be killed in several other
ways with absolute certainty, rapidity and
painlessness, the old awkward and inhu-
man practice is stolidly adhered to, with
Bourbonism which is positively depressing.
1t is true that the question of reform in
capital punishment has been much dis
cussed, but though this discussion has
demonstrated the many disadvantages of
hanging, it has not resulted in the adop-
ton of reform anywhere. The guiilotine
is prompt and painless, probably, but it is =
butcherly way of killing, at best. The
Spanish garrote is much more scientific,
and it is painless and without the horrify-
ingaccessory of bloodshed which detracts SO
greatly from the guillotine. But electricity
furnishes ways of destroying life which far
surpass any of the older methods. 1t
can kill man by merely placing wire
in his hand, or touching his skin with it,
and this form of death is instantaneous
and necessarily painless. By employing
electricity to execute the sentence of the
law all the demoralizing influences of pub
lie or semi public executions would be olivia
ted. The condemned man could be ex-
ecuted in a chamber, in the presence of
half dozen official witnesses. No somher
apparatus would be required. No pinion.
ing of the condemned convict. No black
cap. Everything could be as quiet and
unsensational as possible, and yet the ex.
ecution would be performed with ideal
effectiveness and rapidity. With so ad-
mirable method available it is really
wonderful that the repulsive and ugly and
bungling gallows of antiquity should still
be retained.

ton, and the greedy butchers, who were
rubbing their hands over anticipated
profits, found themselves saddled with
great quantity OF spoiled meat. No meat
corner could stand such action as this, and
as there never had been any justification
for the rise, it was not particularly diff
cult to reduce prices again. So the "boom"
in meat subsidized as suddenly as it had
risen, and the butchers have learned a
lie sson in political economy which it is to be
hoped will do them great deal of good.
People who put up "corners !" should
always begin by making sure of their
market. for without market the best ar
ranged plan of the kind is certain to come

HOW A CORNER WAS BROKEN.

There was corner in meat the other
day. A slight rise in cattle occurred, and
the butchers all over the Eastern States,
and as far west as Chicago, at once under.
took to put up the prices upon the public.
Meat suddenly went up to such rates as
made the housekeepers stand aghast, and
the retail dealers thought they were about
to make their fortunes. But they were
reckoning without their host. They had
failed to realize that meat is not a neces-
sary, and that in a pinch thousands of
people both can and will do without it.
And this is precisely what happened. The
majority of the consumers being people
with fixed incomes at once saw that they
could not afford to buy meat at the en-
HANGED rates, and they also perceived that
there were plenty of substitutes for meat
which could be had cheapIy. So they met
the corner by ceasing to buy beef and nut

DILLON CROSSES TEE RUBICoN.

Dillon appears to have gone SO far, in
his speech in the House of Commons on
Thursday, that the Irish members gener-
ally will find some difficulty in following
him. He declared himself Separatist or
Nationalist, which is to say that he de-
mands the dissolution of the Union, and
the absolute independence of Ireland.
Now though that programme may be
taking one in some parts of Ireland, it is
perfectly clear that no Irish party can
stand upon it and expect any concessions
from an English Government. For what.
ever else the latter may be willing to con-
cede, there is no possible English Govern
ment which could entertain the idea of
separation for twenty.four hours without
going to pieces under it. This the Irish
members of course understand perfectly
well, and it is therefore not surprising
that many of them should have condemned
the incorporate character of billions speech.
He has made declaration which, if it
were seriously taken up by the Irish party,
would at once put an end to all hope or
OF an arrangement with the
Government. 1t is not to be supposed that
there are not many Euglishmen who would
be heartily glad OF a separation if it were
possible but since the island of Ireland is
where it is, the idea is regarded as i'm
practicable, and it is very certain that no
change will occur in this conclusion.
Home rule is one thing. Separation is
quite another thing. The first is by no
means impossible, but the latter is, and
therefore those who declare for separation
declare for a hopeless end incessant con-
fict

TUESDAY LAST. The election re-
turns Of Tuesday last for st. Mary
county is not pleasant reading for
democrats, who have been badly
beaten on both their Judicial and
Congressional tickets. They did not
anticipate, of course, obtaining vic
tory on either ticket here, but they
hoped and believed that their oppo-
nents would be satisfied with hum
dred or so majority. The details
given below tell different story.
They settle, We think, the case Of che
democratic party in st. Mary s TOR

come, so far at least as organized OPP
position to the majority party in the
county on local issues is concerned.
We suggest, however, that even on
these issues there is still work for
democrats TO do. lithey cannot erect
