The State of Wisconsin abolished
the death penalty for rurder over
twenty years ago, and her Legisla-
ture has steadily refused to restore
it, although there has not been a SEES
sion at which the attempt has not
been made. In the case Of that State,
after fair trial of nearly quarter
of a century, there have been no
more murders, according to the pop
ulation, than have been committed
IN those States that have refused to
abolish capital punishment.
But in the State of Maine, the re-
suit of the experiment has been less
satisfactory, and the Legislature has
just passed bill restoring the death
penalty. What the reasons are
which have led the Maine legisla-
tols to have the gallows erected
again, we are not advised, but The
presumption is that the practical
effect of the substitu ion of impris.
onment for life for hanging was not
satisfactory. This is somewhat un.
expected, because the State Of Maine
has had for a long time a very strin-
gent anti-liquorlaw that was supposed
10 aid in suppressing criminality OF
all sorts. On the other hand, Wis
consin has had nothing but strin-
gent license law, and has manufact-
ured mo,e lager beer than any other
State in the Union. Perhaps other
causes have been at work in both
Maine and Wisconsin, besides the
use of intoxicating beverages, that
have II bearing on this question.

IFGeneral Butler does nothing else
to merit appreciation, his election to
the Goyernorship # Massachusetts
Is justified by his action in investi-
CATION and correcting the abuse in
the alms-hou,e in that State. 1t APP
pears that there is n brutal law per
hitting the bodies of paupers who
die in public institutions To be sold
to medical colleges for the pecuniary
benefit of the snperinten ieuts. 1t
was discovered that $50 infant corp
SEES have been sold annually for the
last ten years from single institu
ion, and the disclosures Indicate
that the Superintendent found it
more profitable to let the lab es die
than to feed them. No account was
taken of the sale of the bodies Of
adult paupers, but it is estimated
that the number disposed of has been
from 1000 to 1000 u year. If this
state of things existed in the west,
the Massachusetts people would be
Mortified at the brutality and barbar-
ism, but The developments are made
at the very seat and center of civil
ization, and until Governor Butler
commenced the investigation the
people were indifferent to it.
