The protest Of innocence by person standing
on the gal.ows and within a few moments OF eter-
nifty carries with 1t a weight OF conviction de-
rived from the solemnity OF the occasion The
horrible suggestion that possibly an innocent
man has been sent to a degrading death forces
itself upon the mind, and. no doubt. frequently
adds recruits to the opponents OF capital punish
ment IN western state recently q man was
pardoned after over twenty years confinement In
the penitentiary because hfs innocence was,
1nally, made manifest. He had been doomed to
the gallows, but room for q doubt as to his guilt
prompted Communication OF his sentence 10 life
Imprisonment This interposition OF executive
clemency saved his life, and has, at last resulted
In his restoration to freedom ana to an hOaored
name. man was hanged In Pittsburg Thursday
whose last words were declaration Of innocence.
II ID probable that the time will come when in all
civilized countries imprisonment for life viii be
substituted for the death penalty in the case OF
criminals Of whose guilt there il any possible
question.
The decision OF the U. 8. Supreme Court Mon
day Ia the case OF the Chicago Burlington AMI
Quincy Railroad company eonelus'vely aflrms the
principle OF the right OF state to control cOrpo-
ratfons OF its own creation, even In the matter OF
regulating its charges for sevice to the public.
The oh trter Of this railroad company authorized
It TO establish such rates Of toll for the convey
ance OF persons and property as might be deter
mined by Its bylaws The Illinois legislature, In
despite of this provision of the charter, enacted
law reducing the rates OF the company below
those it had Fixed The company insisted that
this enactment impaired the obi CATION OF ITS con-
tract with the state, and was therefore uncon-
stitutioaai The Supreme Court has upset this
clasn, and has decided that the power OF the state
to regulate railroad corporation iI has created
a supreme.
The prevailing opinion In Baltimore political
circles Is that the democracy OF that city have
made a very fair start towards harmonizng the
factions. Representatives OF the conflicting ele-
ments have all expressed themselves satisfied
with the commission appointed by the city con-
vension and willing 10 abide BY the result OF It's
laoors. The troublesome period, however, will
NOS be reached until the votes cast at the prf-
mary elections shall have been counted. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the harmony now 80
promising can withstand the disappointing effects
OF defeat There will be opposing tickets at the
primaries, and In the natural order OF things
somebody must be beaten. The democrats have
apparently been thoroughly awakened TO the fact
that unless united action can be obtained their
party Is pretty sure to be defeated and under the
spur OF this conviction there Is a desire for har-
mony that win not be easily provoked into renew.
