THE DEATH PENALTY.

ceedings in the case of the People

can be no doubt; twelve impartia
men have twice. after hearing the
evidence, so decided, the panel OF
each occasion being entirely differ
ent from the other. Besides, there
is a certain fund of information
from which the people at large al
ways draw, and much of which is
excluded by rules of law from
juries; the public have also deter
mined the defendants guilt. Every
thing therefore points to guilt; all
tendencies are in the direction of
enlistment. Let the punishment
cone.
IT is a little singular that the Gull
DIT should select the slower and
more painful method Of the two
kinds Of death permitted by the
statutes; what his reasons for so
doing were We know not AID do not
care to discuss. Any form of dissO-
luton is bad enough, considered by
itself. but some are worse than
others. The spectacle of a human
being dangling in the air with a

ninioned and his face screened from
the gaze of his fellows, while
the moose slowly, with its construct

.RTHE NEWSPAPERS are all sayagely
assaulting Dukes, the Pennsylvania
slanderer and seducer of women
and murderer of men, and the jury
that acquitted him. There is moth
ing improper in saying hard things
of Dukes aud the jurors. Indeed,
nothing too severe can be said of
such men. But it seems not to have
occurred to anybody to say any
thing about the system that makes
a verdict both possible and probable
in a case like this. The law de
mands that the jury be maze up OF
rogues or ignoramuses. Honest and

| OFFICIAL FIGURES lately pub
lished regarding our neighbOr re-
public of Mexico are full of interest.
The value of the real estate of the
country is set down at So, 074, e36, 900
of which S1,961, O36,OOO is classed as
urban" and $775,OO0,oOo as rural.
The remainder, $64O,OOO,O0O, is de-
voted to government uses, including
church property. 1t will be seen
that over two-thirdS Of all real es-
tate value is located within cities.
Brigandage and disorder are the
causes for this, the people having
been driven together for safety.
There is no such thing as the farm
house, as it exists in this country.
The Mexicans have the hacienda
which is simply stOekade or little
fortified town. Even the most ELI
gible locations near the cities and
large towns are vacant, it not being
safe to live on them. The number
of houses in cities is given as ,A21,-
934, while the whole population is
but 100000. or 100000 at most.
The extremes of riches and poverty
belonging to old world civilization
appear in the divisions of these
buildings; for, while the 36,648 of
the FIRST class have an average value
of S24 500, the second class has 1885,
SAG, worth So, 100 each, and the third
1,1s6, 44O, with an average of but $500.
The first class is made up largely of
palaces, while the third, which
amounts to more than four-ffths OF
the whole, are in great part mere
novels. Church buildings ale val

that a number of English capital

amounted to only about $4,000. AS
a matter of course the only persons
who have profted by the invest

son that intelligent reputable editors
do not gather in crowds and go
rambling about the country on rail-
road passes and half-price lunches.
Well wager that when the Kansas
editors come there will not be a
prominent journal represented in
the party; and we'll lay another
wager that one-half of the papers
whose editors will swagger about as
great men, are unknown outside the
respective counties in which they
are published. At the same time

The Republican Convention of
Maryland presents that party and
it's candidates to the State as the re-.
representatives. ofthose reforms which
the Democratic Convention refused
to entertain and for which the peo-
pie are asking. It will be change,
indeed, if Maryland is carried by
the Republicans. But every cleo.
ton for some time past has shown
decreasing Democratic majorities.
The dissatisfaction within the party
has grown more serious since the
last election, when the Republicans
elected two Congressman and all but
secured third. There is a genuine
revolt of old-time Democrats against
the leaders who have abused their
trust. People who were "Sccesh"
all through the war have become
decided Republicans. Others who
have not severed their party allie
glance finally are in the mood in
which so many Republicans in the
Northern States were last Novem-
Der. Even if the Republicans are
not successful, there certainly will
be marked reduction of the Demo
cratic majority.

A few Democratic papers are en-

mind, because of the pardoning by
Gov. Hubbard Of one Joseph Mar.

from documents on file in the Gov.
srnor's office that Marcos pardon
originated with the prison officials.
and was based on the facts that the
convict was in the last stages of in
durable consumption and had but a
few weeks more to live. The petition
for Marcos pardon was largely
signed by citizens of Houston coun.

prosecuting attorney wrote the
Governor saying that eff the young

If the Democrats Of this State

that while the law compelled them
to sit as jurors, it did not compel
them to render verdict, and they
would not do so until paid their
