Under the above caption In the last
number Of the Century Magazine public
attention is directed to the alarming
and digraceful disparity between crime
and its punishment. II is asserted that
il 1893 out of l5l7 murders publicly re-
ported only SO of the perpetrators were
legally brought TO the gailovs and exc
cuted. or little more than six per cent.
In other words. for every murder com
mitted the chances are over fifteen to
one that the murderer will escape the
penalty of his crime oy process of Law.
During the same year lis lynchings OF
murderers occurred that is to say. the
lawless exceeded the legal executions
nearly q per cent. These figures carry
their own comment. AS long as the Law
remains 30 palpably irnpotent to punish
the crime of murder, Just so long will
lawless methods OF vengeance he in
voked. 1t was long ago laid down as a
maxim, that upon the certainty rather
than the severity Of punishment de-
ponds its efficacy to prevent crime and
protect life and property. Viewed in
the light of the facts above stated, is it
any wonder that outraged eOmmuni-
ties, wearied of the laws delays and
indignant at the methods whereby jas
tice is set aside and punishment evaded
occasionally reach backward, and lay
ing hold Of the original principle Of
self protecti n, upon which all human
laws are founded. mete out summary
vengeance 1t il a we'll established fact
that in the whole range of crime the
proportion of conviction and punish
ment is nearly In inverse ratio to the
gravity of the offense. While probably
fifty per cent of persons charged with
misdsmeanors are convicted and fined
or jailed, not over ten per cent of those
guilty of the worst grades of felony are
brought to punishment. So long al
these conditions exist there will bt
lypcbings and too frequently riots, in
which innocent lives will be sacrificed
and valuable property destroyed. The
remedy is in eliminating from criminal
procedure much of the technically
which now environs it, in enlarginR thu
qualifications Of jurors, and the refusal
by appellate courts to reverse judR
ments unless vital injustice is plainly
apparent. To reversal of cases by su
perior courts on technicalIties, is dut
much of the prevalent lack of con
fidence in our system Of criminal pro
cedure and also the escape Of many
criminals.

REACHING TOWARD THE LAKE.-A walk
out on Madison street will prove to the
satisfaction Of all that the town is rap
idly reaching in an unbroken line from
the salt water of the bay TO the fresh
water Il Lake Washington. One can
net get out of sight Of dwellings al any
point, while at different places from two
or three to dozen houses can be seen
at once. Fally IA many houses have
been built during the pas year beyond
Eleventh street as were built in all the
wears prior, and there need be no doubt
that more will be built during the cur
rent year than we're in 1898. The street

IMPORTANT LAND DECISION. - The
Commissioner of the General Land
Office has transmitted to the Land Office
ut Olympia decision from the Score
tary of the Interior ordering the can
collation. of the donation claim OF
Daniel Warner. covering l6O acres Of
land at OrtinR, in the forks of the
Puyallup rivsr. Prof. +. Z. Eldridge
purchased the improvements on the
land filed a contest three years ago, and
employed 9. X. Jenner of this city to
manage the case for him. Tnis is the
first donation entry ever carried through
on an appeal and ordered cancelled.
There be ny no provision IN the dona-
tion law for the cancellation of an entry
once made, and no Congressional enact
meHt nor departmental rule upon the
subject, it was generally considered that
there Was no way to remedy the evil of
having large tracts of land to which
there was no title and none could be Oh
tanned. The number of this donation
WAS IA. There are very large num-
Der of these claims, covering much of
the best land In this Territory and Or
egon. This state of things mas retard
I'd the development Of the ,uutry and
prevented improvements People inter
ested IN those claims must now per
feet the titles or run the risk of losing
their land. Though the effect of this
decision may work hardship in certain
cases, Yet 1t il ON the whole benefit To
the country to have such cases decided
and these lands settled. improved aud
cultivated. The land IN question has
been almost unimproved for 70 years
past. Now. however. Prof. Eldridge
has cleared several acres, and has grain
and vegetables growing upon it. Prof.

snALL faI SCHOOL PROPERTY BE
SOLD:

The electors of Seattle school district
No. are called upon today to vote on
the proposition Of the selling of lots 9
and u, block 50. A. A. Denny's addition,
or in other words, the lots known as the
North School property. on Third and
Pine streets, and lots and 5. block Il.
A. A. Denny's addition 10 Bell Il
Denny's plat. or ia other words the old
Belltown School property. The polls
will b. open at the North School house,
corner Of Third and Pine streets, be-
tween the hours of 2 and ; O'Clock IN
the afternoon. The question submitted
to the people is this: Shall the directors
be authorized to sell this property as in
their Judgment they may deem best, or
shall the district retain the pro yerty
The causes which have led to TINS Ques-
ton are about as follows: Some two
years ago It becAne apparent that,
owing TO the rapid growth of oar city.
| the public school accommodations then
| existing were inadequate, and some OF
| our best citizens set themselves to WORK
to devise plan To remedy the evil. The
plan adopted at that time was to dis
pose of the small patches of property
held here and there by the district, and
/ to purchase suitable locations for the
! erection of three large school houses.
/ A special tax Was levied, and the mag
nIticent Central School building Was
erected on block between Sixth and
Seventh streets, owned by the district.
| The people then voteI to Sell tue old
Central School property -four lotst, on
Third street, for $30, UOO. The sale was
made and with the proceeds block OF
| land was bought in North Seattle ut an
expense of $500, on which has been
| erected another magnificent structure
capable of seating go pupils. Next in
order comes the South SchoOl, which is
projected TO complete the plan as de-
vised by the committee of citizens and
directors. The most objectlonal fea-
| ture of the election today Is the fact
that the voters are compelled to go it
blind" When the proposition to sell
the Third street property came up, 1t
was generally known that Mr.. Stacy
had agreed to pay $4,000 for it, and
the people voted to sell it at that figure.
But under tho present arrangement no
offer is known to have been made, and
the people are unable to know wha;
they are to get for their property. pro-
vided they vote to sell 1t. 1t would
have been much more satisfactory all
round if the directors had secured ten
ders for the property, so that the people
could have cast their ballots intelligent
ly and advisedly. This is a matter that
should interest every citizen and every
one should weigh the matter we'll before
voting on it. In their call the directors
say:
The object of the sale of said property
is to secure the necessary funds to pro-
vide other school accommodations more
suitable to the growing needs of the dis
trict. The form of ballots should be
substantially AZ follows: The ballot OF
those in favor of the sale should be
wOrded, For SALE" The ballot of those
opposed to the sale should be worded
against SALE"
