THE Pullman palace car company
made ~ per cent. last year and laid aside
surplus earnings of about S per cent,
more. This is too much profit on the
operations of a corporation like that.
The railroads and the public suffer from
too high prices for parlor and sleeping
car accommodations. Railroad passen
ger fares are eXorbitant in this state,
and when the Pullman car charges are
added to them comfortable travelling is
altogether too expensive. 1t IS not
often that the railroad companies and
the public have a common interest, but
they alike are unduly taxed for IL per
cent. annual profits of the Pullman com.
pany. The stockholders Of the railroad
companies should inquire what interest
their managers have in the Pullman
concern.

SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 20. 1898
The HOrrid IiapgIngs.

1t Is strange that in this age of civili-
cation we should still endure the borrid
Friday hangings. In view of the fact
that the number of these is steadily in
creasing, the judgment of legislators Is
certainly invited to consider whether
this mode of furnishing murder is the
right mode. 1t is a brutal exhibition
that is weekly made, which is not agree
able to the community or edifying in any
way. Some may think that it is beneficial
in that its horrors tend to the suppression
of the murderous inclination but this is
not the idea upon which the law,
which prescribes hanging as punish.
ment, is based and it is not a correct
idea, as experience has shown. To give
the exhibition its full force in the sup
preston Of murders, upon this Idea, II
would be necessary to make executions
public but the law generally makes
them as private as possible, public hang.
ipgs having been found 10 be evil In
their effect upon the peace OF the
land. There seems to be no
other basis for the laws decree
that death shall be the punishment
of mur,ier, save the one that life is for
feited in taking life; a decree that has
been sanctioned from time immemorial,
and that few will be found TO dispute.
But, admitting that this he 50, and that
the deliberate slayer OF his fellow man
cannot complain that his life is taken
for the blood he has shed, the question
occurs as to the prof. TO the community
in taking the forfeited life. We cannot
see that there is any. II Is cruel pun
ishment as now administered; through
a long period of Imprisonment his dread
fate presses down upon the convict, and
when the last moments come no thought
can do.justice to the horrible feelings
which attend him to his doom. Among
the last batch hung was one miserable
man in New York, who had been stand.
ing for years in the shadow of the gibOet,
and who finally had his veins charged with
morphine to make it possible To hang
him without carrying him to the scat
fold and holding him under the moose.
Does anyone suppose that there will be
one murder less committed because Of
this mans agony and the public shudder
its contemplation II so, will he tell
us why it is that with these frequent
exhibitions murder is more rife in the
land than ever ? The fact is that in the
drunkenness or passion in which murder
is generally committed no thought is
given to the horror of the punishment
nor is such thought much more innuen-
tal when the crime is prompted 10y the
hot feeling of revenge or the cold calcU
lation of profit. Those who are evil
enough in mind TO bd really deliberate
murderers are not the class of men upon
whom the horrors of the scaffold exert
their livelest force. And while upon
such sympathy may be wasted, we can
still, in compassion for ourselves, desire
to forbear their brutal hanging. Let
them be done to death, il death alone
will do, in a way less offensive to our
sensibiltes.

License Law In Chicago

Last spring the Illinois state LegisIa
ture passed u law fixing the prices of so
loon licenses at $500. The Chicago councils
sought to avoid the operation Of this law
by passing an ordinance a few DAYS before
the law went into effect, fixing the price
for the ensuing year at SOB The oiti-
zens' league has since been fighting the
legality of these licenses in tho courts bnt
has been met with dilatory tactics by the
other side. Finally, to hurry matters, an
action in quo warranto was brought
against q prominent saloon keeper, IIiS
counsel demurred, presenting various rea
sons, all to the effect that this is not the
proper method of procedure. Judge
Anthony will render decision on the de.
murrer. His opinion is all but written,
except the formal ruling. In it he com
bats and denies the validity of all tho
points relied on by the demurriug counsel
and the conclusion reached from perusai
of the document is that he will rule that
the method of procedure is proper one.
This will bring the question at issue To a
tlnal decision and will affect between three
and four thousand saloons, involving over
81 800, 600.

This is equally true of factory bells,

upon the relations of things. What is
fit and proper at one time and place may
