only four of the criminals executed. For
the whole Union IL out Of 10 murderers

Last year llGs murderers escaped hang

to punish criminals is the cause noronly
Of the increase In crime, but OF lynch

"GENERAL GARFIELD never could have
been President without the electoral
vote of New York; says the Buffalo
Commercial. "New York would never
have gone Republican had not Arthur's
name been on the PRESIDENT al ticket
The gains which gave the state TO the
Republicans were made at Arthur's own
home. New York city and Kings county,
where he was best known and most es-
teemed. The plurality in the State for
Garfield was 2l,033, the gains in New
York and Kings were 81 ,sj3, or more
than the entire Republican majority in
the State. The Republicans of the State
cast 1923 per cent, of the total vote in
1850, and 1917 per cent. in 1876; the Re-
publicans in New York and Kings cast
1900 per cent. of the total vote in 1850,
and only $50 per cent. in 1876. We look
in vain for any such gain at the home of
General Garfield. In Lake county, Ohio,
the gains in 1880 over 1876 were only 81
votes. The gains in Arthur's State were
1919; in Garfield's 2G,7ll. 1t is evident
therefore that Arthur was quite as essen
tial to the success Of Garfield as Garfield
was to that of Arthur. General Arthur's
chief strength in 1850 was among the
business men of the metropolis, the men
who control capital and employ labor.
His discreet administration of the high
office which he now holds has certainly
done nothing to weaken the confidence
of these men. On the contrary, his chief
journalistic opponent, the New York
Times, is constrained to admit IT has
been calculated to strengthen confidence.
Why, then, should there be much doubt
about his ability to carry the Stnte in

TnE American Humane association has
turned its attention TO matter that has
long needed correction and improve
ment, and that is the manner in which
live cattle are shipped TO the Eastern
markets, and the association is making
a most praiseworthy effort TO better the
system Of transportation now in vogue
on the railways. Improved cars have
been devised in which animals can be
fed and watered and enjoy n moderate
degree of rest while being conveyed to
their destination. Not alone humanity,
but ordinary prudence, demands that
these improved cars should be used, for
in the ordinary crowded cattle cars the
animals are knocked about and bruised
in such manner that they become
feverish, and as consequence are
killed while in an unhealthy state, thus
rendering their carcasses unfit for food.
If the improved car is not voluntarily
adopted, the day will surely come when
sensible Legislators will make it Il pun
ishable o1ense to abuse animals while
being transported by rail.
