The Governor of New York


The Governor of New York
has sent in special message to the
Legislature on the subject of the
laws delay in hanging convicted
and sentenced murderers. As the
things are now in the Empire State
a man in that plight has an appeal
to the general term Of the Supreme
Court, and then another appeal to
the Court of Errors and Appeals,
and counsel usually avail them
selves of both appeals, and the re-
suit is, according to the Governor
that "intervals of one and two years
between conviction and punishment
are the rule and not the exception"
Here in Louisiana a convicted MUIR
derer has no appeal except to the
Supreme Court, and then only on
EXCEPTIONS to the rulings of the court
and the empaneling Of the jury,
made and filed by the counsel for
the defense at the time of trial.
An application for the commuta-
ton of sentence or pardon goes be-
fore the Board of Pardons, consist
ing Of the Lieutenant Governor,
Attorney General and the trial
judge. The Governor::can grant
pardon on the recommendation of a
majority Of this board.-[Ex.
The Pittsburg (Pa.) Gazette,
ultra Republican paper, in an able
article on the industries of the
South expresses the following kind
ly sentiments toward the Southern
people: These Southern people are
engaged in a heroic struggle more
glorious far than Austerlitz or Get.
tysburg, though no trail of blood or
sign Of the bruised and dying mark
their advances. They are fighting
for peace and good feeling and uni
ty amongst the great family which
people this broad land. The war
left them poor, vanquished, pros
trated and dispirited to-day they
are up and at work, forgetting the
things which are behind, and with
manly hearts reaching forward to
the things which are before. 1t
becomes us of the North to do
what we can to help our brothers
in a conflict which will issue in
their highest good, and ours also if
we but be true to ourselves and to

Keeping Open the Exposition.

The great Worlds Fair ought to
be kept open for another year. An
effort is making to keep it open by
canvassing the City for subscrip-
tons to that end. People do not
subscribe ITO any alarming extent"
as Artemus Ward would say. We,
in the country, do not understand
where the Glitch" is. Everybody
admits that the Exposition ought
to continue. Everybody in the
country thinks it singular that the
railroad companies, the big corpo-
rations, the hotel companies, the
boarding house-keepers, the drink
ing saloons, the keno tables and
the Basin street palaces do not come
to the rescue. But they don't come.
Only s27o,ooo is wanted; the re-
turn is to be untold millions. But
the s270,000 don't seem to come;
the millions, therefore, are in abey.
ance. Director General Burke has
resigned. A far-off correspondent
says that he resigns because he has
bankrupted himself by devoting
himself to the Exposition. The
Picayuae ridicules the report. We
cannot exactly make out the Plea
y'o'e's slang phrase, "the boot is on
the other leg. The Picayalne writes
English. The Picayauae will have
to send on a glossary with its Eng
fish. But the Exposition ought to
be kept open. If the management
has been inefficient, as seems to be
admitten, then another management
can be found. fit cannot be found
in Louisiana, then let it go to the
other States. In all events let the
Exposition continue. Louisiana
cannot afford to stop it. The
Union cannot afford to let it close.

At a recent German scientific con-
grcss, DR.. S. Hoppe, of Hamburg, en-.
dcavored to prove that the electricity
of storms is generated by the friction
of vapor particles. This view was
strengthened by experiments in which
compressed cold air was allowed To
rush into copper vessel containing
Warm moist air, large amount of
electricity being thus produced. He
concludes that the rise of a column OF
warm moist air into the colder a,mos
phcre above will be followed by a
thunderstorm if it acquires sufficient
velocity to prevent naturalization Of
he electricity generated by the fric-
ton of the air. Hence, he regards
open districts as more liable to thun
dcrstorms than wooded regions, where
the trees prevent the rapid rise OF
humid air currents.

as the latter claims. he did not win. as McCatfrey
came up smiling after every round He has
not seen the agreement as yet. under which
they fought, and cannot. in consequence, render
a decision.
