CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

1t is supposed now that Ellis Craft,
who was hung in Kentucky for muir
der, was not guilty. He protested. to
his last breath, that he was innocent,
and now confessions have been
made, which point to his inno-
cence as fact. When we think of
the terrible mistakes made at the gal
lows, it shakes ones belief in capital
punishment. Besides fearful mis-
takes, it is believed by many that
capital punishment does not answer
its purpose that crime is not pre-
vented by its infiiction. In paper
recently read before the American
Social Science Association, at Sarato-
ga, Prof. Francis Wayland discussed
this question with much ability. His
conclusion from examining statistics
was that the punishment of death at
tached to crime fails in several impor-
tant particulars as REMEDIAL agent.
1t increases the difficulty of procur-
ing a conviction juries are becoming
more and more opposed to the inflic-
ton of the death penalty, and their
reluctance to convict prisoner of an
offence to which that penalty is at
tached is the direct and controlling
cause of the acquittal of many guilty
persons. 1t is practically useless to
tell the average juryman that he has
nothing to do with the punishment,
that his sole duty under oath is to
render true verdict according to the
law and the evidence, and that the
consequences of such verdict are alto
gether outside of his responsibility.
This is not the way in which most
men reason about their actions, and
the juryman who tries capital case
is, in most instances, influenced by
what he knows will be the effect and
result of his verdict. So ithappens that
many guilty men escape all punish
ment, because the jury shrink from
the infliction of the punishment
which the law attaches to the crime.
In the second place the statistics
given by Prof. Wayland show
that, as matter of fact, the num-
Der of special crimes considered is
not diminished by the fact of
of the death penalty being attached
to them. He shows that the abolition
of that penalty has not been followed
by an increase of crime, and its re-
establishment has not caused a cor
responding decrease. And, lastly,
there is to be considered that class of
objections which may be summarized
under the old formula that the worst
use to which you can put man is to
hang him. Prof Maryland does not
arrive at this conclusion without sug-
costing a substitute, which he be-
lieves will serve the purpose. This
substitute is Imprisonment for life in
penitentiary, without hope of par
don or release by executive clemency.
BY this means almost all the obiec-
tons to the other system are satisfac-
torily met. Both the sentimental and
the conscientious difficulties which
act upon juries are eliminated. The
deterrent effect upon the minds of the
criminal classes is Of the very
highest sort, and finally, the labor
OF the prisoner may be made
very valuable in the state. 1t is es-
sentiai, however, that the element of
certainty should not be weakened in
this penalty by any do ar of escape be-
ing opened through appeal to the par
doning power. Ifany revision of the

Preserving Salt Meat.

Iowa homestead.
Much of the corned beef and salt
pork put up by farmers becomes
tainted or completely spoiled during
the summer AID fall. The injury is
not caused by using too small an
amount of sale. AS a rule, much more
salt is employed than is necessary to
preserve the meat. Sometimes it con-
tains impurities that cause the meat
to contract bad flavor. Pure
salt should be employed for
preserving meat and dairy pro-
ucts. 1t costs but little more than
that which is impure, and it is more
satisfactory in all respects. Meat
packed in a barrel and covered with
brine becomes tainted or spoiled in
consequence of small portions of it or
some Of the fat or blood it contains
coming to the top of the brine. The
air comes in contact with it there and
decomposition takes place. The pro-
ducts of the decomposition of animal
substances always have an unpleasant
taste and smell, and these in the case
of meat in barrel are commu-
nicated to the brine and from thence
to the meat. Meat packed in
brine should be cut in pieces with a
very sharp knife. This will leave
the edges smooth. After it has been
for few days in the brine the latter
should be poured OF and boiled. The
boiling will cause all the impurities to
rise to the surface while the blood
will be coagulated. These sub
stances should then be skinned off,
and when the brine is cold it can be
returned to the barrel. If the brine
does not continue pure, the operation
of boiling should be repeated. Special
pains should be taken to keep the
meat under the brine at all times. A
perforated top or false cover, or a
frame work, should rest on the meat
and be weighed down by clean
stone. LII these precautions are en-
ployed the liability of spelling will
be very Slight.

Feeding Corn Green.

Live OIOCh
There are thousands of acres of corn
now growing and intended for pork
making that are worth much more if
used for that purpose now, while
green, than they are likely to ever be
after ripening. There are many thou
sands of hogs which have been kept in
pens and lots devoid of any green
food, and treated in such way that if
they were making any growth on the
rations of dry, hard corn doled out to
them, it is so small as to be scarcely
perceptible, and will give but
the most meagre returns, COM
pared with its ordinary value. Such
shotes are shrunken, feYerish and de-
bilitated-the natural results of neg
lect and improper food. In this con-
dition there is nothing, expense con-
sidered, that farmer can give them
that will do so much good, and work
so promptly a favorable change, as
most liberal abundance of green corn
cut up and hauled to them, stalks and
all. 1t answers the purpose of grain,
grass, milk and medicine-in fact,
is a most thorough ready removal
tor. We are aware that in the
estimation of some who have never
tried its use, it is considered quite ex-
travagant or rather waSteful; but we
are satisfied, from much experience,
that a great deal more can be realized
from a portion of the crop so con-
sumed than if allowed to find its way
to the crib and fed out at time of
year when, as experiments have
shown, all the animals can eat is re-
quired to maintain warmth. The lat
ter part of summer is season that is
frittered away by many who raise
swine, when from August to Novem-
Der is the best of all the year for con-
verting ungainly, slab sided shotes
into marketable meat. Everything is
to be gained by pushing the hogs
right along at this season of the year
on plenty of green corn, pumpkins,
and other food that is now
so abundant and inexpensive, but not
to be had after cold weather sets in.
After that some good, sound corn can
be used to great advantage in finish
ing and firming the flesh; but even
then nothing is gained by ignoring
the ValuA of VARIETY

EX-SENATOR MCDONALD does not
think the success of the Democrats in
Ohio means Democratic success in
1884 in the presidential contest. He
thinks that the factors that operated
for the election of Mr.. Hoadly may
not combine for the election of the
presidential nominee. He thinks the
Republicans were ''too smart in
making issues. They submitted too
much in the way of constitutional
amendments, and by looking both
ways at once confused the people. 1t
was possible to vote for both high
license and for prohibition, and
both stood chance of being adopted
ut the same time. Those interested
in the production of such fruits and
cereals as are used in the manufacture
of liquor, became very much aroused
toward the end of the campaign, the
anti-prohibitionists being thus solidi-
lied, and the IN certainty of the status
of the Republicans ON the question in
ured to the advantage of theD Democrats.
On the other hand, ex-Gov. Hendricks
is positive. as he can be, that the Ohio
election means victory in 1884 for the
Democrats. James Rice, who is one
of the best judges of politics in the
state. thinks the result in Ohio will
make that state the great battle
ground of the two parties in 1884.
Mr.. Rice is Il thorough Ohio man; he
thinks the weightiest questions rest
on the shoulders of 0hioans, and no
doubt he thinks they should be lib
orally rewarded for carrying heavy
weights in more than one sense.
THE STATESMAN believes the DEM
ocratic party will carry the presiden-
tial election, because of the iniquities
of the Republican administration:
because of its promises that the masses
are to be relieved from unjust and
oppressive taxation; because it is op-
posed to prescribing what people shall
cat and drink. 1t is the party of pop
ular liberty, opposition to class Iegis-
lation and the consequent creation of
monopolies. 1t is the bullwork of
popular government. and the time has
come when it is recognized as the
agency through which such govern
ment must be preserved.

Another Life Saved.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, writes: early last winter
my daughter was attacked with Sc
we're cold which settled on her lungs.
We tried several medicines, none of
which seemed to do her any good, but
she continued to get worse, and final
ly raised large amounts of blood from
her lungs. We called on family
physician, but he failed to do her any
good. At this time friend who had
used DIR. WIN. HALLS BALSAM
FOR THE LUNGS advised me to

and before we had used it all up she
began to improve, and by the use OF

kindness and give it a name, teaching
it to come at the call. Whenever the
lamb obeys, give it something as re-

of bread, or anything that is accept
able, bpt never give it a blow. When
the lamb is grown, place it in the

easy by legislative action to provide a

justifying remission of the life SEN
