The case of William McHugh, late
ly hanged at Cincinnati for the murder
of his wife, demonstrates the necessity
of reform in the criminal laws particu.
larly in the matter of granting new tri-
ais. In McHugh's case there never has
been the slightest doubt of his guilt.
That was clear and clearly proved. Yet
the higher courts did all they could to
prevent his being punished for his
crime by granting him two new trials on
technicalities, so that it required three
convictions and the unanimous verdict
of So jurors to finally secure his pun
ishment. In every case the supreme
court granted new trials upon pure
technicalities, mere cobwebs, and it was
not until after the Cincinnati riot that
writ of error was refused, or he would
have had fourth trial

The Chicago Journal scouts the idea
that India is to produce at low price
a sufficient abundance of wheat to sup
ply the demand in Europe, and to de-
stroy the European market for Ameri-
can wheat, except at q price which
would be ruinous to the American
wheat-producer. The Journal says that
the farmers of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Minnesota and Dakota, and of the far
Saskatchewan Valley, may smile in de-
rision at the efforts Of the half-naked,
and ill-fed natives of India, in the best
of times to become serious rivals in pro-
ducing the staple crop which requires
intelligence, industry and capital for its
successful cultivation That low caste
and yellow native of India can he COM
pete with a western farmer in the pro-
duction of wheat is impossible. There
has been hardly enough, or no more
than enough, food raised in India dur
ing the last 900 years to feed the peo-
pie, to say nothing of raising enough to
feed Europe The productive capacity
Of the country has reached its limit and
cannot beincreased.

The revival of pugilism in this coun-
sry has been too obvious to escape the
notice of anybody who takes interest in
current events. Nearly every day we
read of prize fights, thinly disguised as
boxing matches, where two brutes stand
up and thump each other till one is
knocked out" and is dragged off, bleed
ing, swollen and half dead. No more
vicious or degraded sport can be i'm
agined. It lacks even the dignity of the
gladiatorial combats or of an honest
bullfght, and should be forbidden as
hurtful in the highest degree to the in
terests of civilized society.

Several bills have been introduced

Several bills have been introduced
into congress to restrict in some degree
the purchase of large bodies of land by
foreign capitalists and corporations as
also by citizens of the United States.
Senator Plumb's bill seems to be the
most comprehensive of all, but doubtless
it will encounter much opposition. 1t
declares that it shall be unlawful for
any foreign corporation, to acquire real
estate, or any interest therein, IN any of
the territories or the District of Column
bia. That no incorp oration, more than
10 per cent. of the stock of which Is
owned by foreign citizens, shall hereaf-
ter acquire real property in any of the
territories. No corporation other than
those organized for the construction or
operation of railways shall acquire or
hold over ), 600 acres of land in any of
the territories, and no corporation shall
acquire in any territory other than such
rs may be necessary for the proper OPP
grafton of the railway, except such lands
as may have been granted to it by act of
congress, and all of such lands as may
not be necessary for railroad purposes
shall be disposed of within ten years aft
ter the passage of this act, and, if not
disposed OF, shall revert to the United
States.

Senator Anthony of Rhode Island,
has returned home and probably will
never return to Washington. His brain
has given way at last and the time is
near when his late associates in the SEN
ate will be called to pronounce eulogies
upon his life and public services, but it
is safe to say that none will compare in
felicitous expression with his own pro-
auctions in that line. He has been a
prominent figure in public affairs for
twenty-five years, covering the most
important and stirring epoch in thu
country's history.
