Why Southern congressman Are Returned
for Many Terms in Succession.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-It has frequently been
remarked that while the Northern congressional
districts seldom return member to Congress
more than two OF three times, the Southern
members come back year after year, and seem
Payson, of Illinois, remarking upon this
popularity, said to your correspondent: '"The
Southern members hold their places simply be-
cause they come here to represent their con
stituences, and are not expected to deal out
places No. one thinks of asking Southern Dem
ocratc member to secure a postoffice for
him under Republican administration. In the
Northern States the Republican representative
finds, as soon as soon as he secures his seat that
be has thirty or forty little Offices assigned to
him, and that there are from twenty to one hun
dned applicants for every place. He selects one,
and the other ninety-nine at ouce turn against
him, and the chances are that they will carry
strength enough to cause his defeat Now the
North will have a rest for four years. and the
Southern men will find what curse patronage
Is to Congressman. IpPedict that within three
years every Southern member will be heartily
sick of patronage, and that the result of Demo
cratic distribution of postofices, etc., will be
that two-thirds of those Southern members who
have served long terms will be relegated to the

fenced To Be Hanged.
LONDON, Dec 9.-Captain Dudley and the
mate of the wrecked yacht Mignonette who
were found guilty Of murder in killing the boy
Parker for food to keep themselves alive, were
to-day sentenced to death 1t is believed they
will certainly be pardoned The courtroom was
crowded, and the scene during the pronouncing
of sentence was most impressive. Lord Chief
Justice Coleridge read the judgment of the court,
citing authorities at length. The court declared
that the taking of human life could only be JUS
tilted on the plea of self defense The commits
sion of murder for the sake of preserving ones
own life was unjustifable. OF course it
was duty to preserve ones own life,
but duty often required one not to save, but to
sacrifice his own life The court must apply
the law, and declare that the prisoners were
guilty of willful murder, for which there was
no justification. If this Judgment was too Sc
we're, the court must leave the prisoners to the
clemency of the crown.
Thesprisoners were asked what they had to
say before sentence pronounced. Both
Captain Dudley and Mate Stephens pleaded for
mercy in view of their terrible situation when
the deed was done.
Lord Coleridge said it was the jury's privilege
to recommend the prisoners to mercy, and then
sentenced them to be hanged but without the
black cap.
