Shah We Abolish Hanging ].


 It has been the fashion Of late to exalt cer- tain foreign methods at the expense of our own, chiefly because the latter has sometimes broken down. Two of these foreign systems in particular have been glori6ed, and no doubt both have certain undoubted merits of their own. The guiIlotine is most effective as means of destroying life. It is an uner- ring, nearly automatic machine, and probably annihilates without unnecessarily proEracted pain. Its inventor went so far as to claim for it that the sufferer felt merelya pleasant freshness about the neck and nothing more. To the sensitive mind, however, there is something terribly disgusting in decapitation; it is horrible to see, or rather to hear, the head fall into the basket smid torrents of blood The Spanish garotte again, which is obviously Oriental in origin, and an adapta- tion of tIe bowstring, is also instantaneous in it's action. The old mechanism, which was simply rope and g piece of stick used toufniqnss fashion, has been improved into Q brass collar encircling the neck, and contain ing . sharp point which is forced into the spinal marrow. But neither of these forms are really 50 far superior to ours as to be en- titled to supersede 1t. After all, one method is as good as another, provided it fulflls cer- tain Indispensable conditions Capital pun is intended to remove the criminal, to extin- suish Q life forfeited to the laws, and if this can be accomplished promptly. without in. ffictina torture, encouraging bravado, or demoralizing the executioner, the desired end 1 is achieved. These are not unattainablef re- sults, and so long as they can be compassed by hangiog there can be no sufficient reason for trying to domesticate exotic methods of execution It has also been mooted recently whether some more scientific process might not yet be adopted with advantage. The chemist and electrician have tremendous agencies at their disposal, one or other of which might be utilized for the destruction of the criminal. But poor humanity isalready too s0rely besst by murdefous enemies. and leg islators may well pause before they permit. the dsvelopmsns :: q the means of taking lie: ply supervene in giving effect to any new

Judge Qu1l Iinan, James Reynolds and Colonel Healey { were appointed q committee to draft an ad dress which is to be sent to every branch II the State It will refer entirely to thetmeth cd of organization.

process, whether by poison or electricity. The intervention of some skilled agent would be indispensable; the fatal poison must be administered scientifically the dread forces of electricity must be set in motion by some expert, and it might not be easy to persuade doctors or savants to act as executloners. But still stronger objection exists to this or any kind of change in the manner of carrying out the penalty of death. It IS not nKesy .nas any such change would easily secure legisla- tive sanction, not from any positive dislike to accept this or that new method, but be- end in the abolition of capital punishment altogether. Whether society can quite afford to part with one of it's greatest safeguerds IS beyond the scope Of this paper to discuss. But all who feel that the law which exacts 2 life for life is our best and perhaps our on ly protection against the growth of homicide will prefer to leave our system of execution
 unchanged. An imperfect process is better
 than none at all, and 1t will be better to
 adopt reasonable improvements than bring
 about abolition by vain search after an i'm | possible ideal.
