GEORGE SCHNEIDER was hung at Hamilton,
o., for the brutal murder Of his mother. OF
course he was Converted" and on the scat
fold made speech, in which he said:
Dear friends, brothers and. sisters, I am
here on the scaffold. And l say to all men,
children, girls and women, / hope the day
shall come when they shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven and meet me there And
as they pass through the door here may it be
the will of the heavenly Father that they
meet me there.
Il hope every one who has anything
against me will forgive me. And all men
that l have any thing against 1 forgive too.
l don't know of anybody on this world that |
have anything against; not the least And
am going to enter the kingdom of heaven
where that home is prepared for me, and
which my Savior has given me-"
Not for the world would we question the
ability of grace to 'save" even murderer;
but we do question, and question earnestly,
the propriety of such public exhibitions
Hanging should be conducted with absolute
privacy, and when the condemned criminal
goes into the Jail with the sentence Of death
upon him, he should be dead to the world
The parade and fuss made over man about
to be hanged is not only disgusting but dan
gerous, and should be peremptorily forbidden
by law; while such performances as the "relig-
ious" farewells that are now and then given
from the gallows are worse than all else in
their demoralizing effects. A level-hcaded,
sensible minister of the gospel would not coun-
tenance them. If the convict has found par
don, and has what he believes is Saving faith"
it is we'll. But between preacher and penitent
the fact should be kept secret so far as the
world is concerned. The theatrical parade Of
his conversion, while he is on the death trap
to expiate foul crime but recently commit
ted, is not healthful to society nor valuable to
the religion whose consultations he claims to

This pleasing sport was kept up until the
commander in charge said he would not be

JOHN ROACH should be held to all proper
and just accountability; it is not to avoid any
blame due him that there is indignant protest
against the manner in which the Navy Depart
ment has treated the Dolphin. The facts are
that the Dolphin was built after plans pro-
vided by an advisory board of the department,
and all the parts of her manufacture were SUI
pervised by the board and accepted. Mr..
Whitney himself proposed that there should
be a test of her speed for period of six hours,
and that he should expect fifteen knots an
hour. This test was made on Long Island
sound, and the speed exceeded, while the re-
quired horsepower of the steamers engines
was also exceeded. Then Mr.. Whitney deter
mined that he wanted test in open sea, and
said in his letter that he should expect a
speed Of twelve knots. This test
was made under conditions imposed by
the department., and was successful, the
vessel attaining over thirteen knots an hour.
After all this Mr.. Whitney discovered that The
sea was too smooth, and that the law re.
guired "a sea speed of fifteenknots." If this be
true, Mr.. Whitney letter to Mr. Roach propos-

JOHN Ell. REAGAN, of Texas, ex-Postmaster-
general of the ex-Confederacy, seems to be
profhng by the example of General Bragg, Of
Wisconsin, who cursed and swore until he got
all he was after, when he settled back with
as satisfied a smile as ever wreathed human
countenance. Reagan says that Cleveland is
not Democrat, and that he has not got
a single Democrat in his Cabinet,
s.not even Secretary Bayard" Reagan
probably regards Bayard as other people
do simply as the grandson of his grand
father, of which fact he seems not a little
proud. AS for, Attorney-general Garland,
Mr.. Reagan CONTEMPORARY characterizes
him as being VIGOROUSLY black Republican.
Mr. Reagan should proceed at once to Wash
ington and Bragg his way through. What

Prohibition According to st. John.

BROOKLYN UNION.
Mr.. John Peter st. John. who took some part
in the political campaign last fall, complains
that the prohibitory law is violated in Kansas
as, he unkindly adds it is in other States mean
inc, among others, the State of Maine. But the
failure in Kansas he attributes to a flaw in the
law, which, while it proposes to prohibit the sale
and use of intoxicating liquors as beverages, by
its drug store clause permits the sale and use to
go on. The law is thus, by its own construc-
ton, what Mr.. St John calls ''half way meas
ure," but it seems to be measure that is filled
full, and frequently in the form of TASKS from
the drug stores. These TASKS are abundant,
and there seems to be no difficulty in getting or
filling them, and they are easily emptied~ as we'll.

ing the test shows that the Secretary himself
did not know the law. The real truth seems
to be that there is a contemplate rivalry be-
tween the two boards-the advisory board and
the trial boa-d-a state Of affairs to which the
navy is peculiarly susceptible. The trial
board understanding that the department
wants to find the vessel unsound, for partisan
necessities, complacently and subsequently
furnishes the specifications to its superior,
and, in doing so, condemns the advisory
board. In pursuance Of the scheme to dis
credit the vessel, and thus to bring disrepute
to the Republican administration which con-
tracted for it, the Secretary has made public
the condemnatory report Of the trial board,
but has not allowed word of the favorable
report of the advisory board to get outside
the department. The whole treatment of the
case has been unjust and uncandid, with the
very evident purpose to sacrifice Mr.. Roach,
and injure an important industrial enterprise,
simply and solely for the purpose of manu-
featuring party capital. 1t is one of the most
discreditable incidents in the career of the ad-
ministration thus far. Mr.. Whitney's letter
to Attorney general Garland, which he hast
ened to make public, shows in every line the
animus that has been at the bottom of the

THERE does not seem to be the slightest
ground for the damaging talk Of ex-Commis-
sioner Loring being "a defaulter." He is
charged by the First Comptroller of the
Treasury with having paid on one account a
sum of money that should have been charged
to another fund; in other words, he drew
money from one fund. and applied it to the
expenses of the Agricultural Bureau in an
other direction. This may have been viola
ton of law, and an improper and culpable
exercise of discretion; but there is no ground
for the charge of msappl;cation of pub
lie funds to his private use, which will be
