How to Deal With Murderers.

In accordance with recent law all
executions in Ohio will take place with
in the walls of the penitentiary, The
object of the law is to prevent the pub
licity that usually attends executions
ut jails; but il is defective, as it does
not limit the attendance to the prison
officials, In New York the law limits
the number of spectators. They are,
however, usually more numerous than
they ought to be, and sherifis are apt
to overlook the requirements of the
law in order TO accommodate people
whose curious tastes find gratifica-
ton in such CHASTITY exhibition, But
the worst aspect of our present man.
ner Of treating persons condemned to
death is the publicity allowed during
their confinement in jails. They are
generally allowed to receive as many
visitors us they wish, and the morbid
sympathy that makes hero or q mar
tyr out of q murderer is allowed every
opportunity for expression. News
papers feel under obligations to keep
their readers advised of every event OF
interest that takes place in the cell
of the condemned, because there is q
demand for that kind of literature
There is another class OF readers who
are shocked by such details. and espe'
cially by the portrayal of agonizine
scenes at the gallOws. The tendency
is to increase the number of those
who oppose capital punishment, te
break down the safeguards which so
ciety has erected for its own safety, t.
foster an unwholesome sympathy fol
criminals. and to lessen abhorrence o
their crimes. The best remedy for the
evil is to oonsign all persons under
sentence of death to a state prison. t.
be kept secure from public observation
and to be executed in the presence O

the necessary number OF other prison
officials. albany Express.

The Right and Wrong Of IL.

We hold it true, always, that nc
young man has the right to ask q
young woman to enter into matrimo-
NAL engagement without feeling it to
be in his power to give her q comfort
able and reasonable support. Nor is
it unmaidenly, or indicate lack OF
modesty on her part, to desire to know
what this is to be, it is not enough
that her parent or guardian inquire
into the matter, let her have an idea
for herself, and il her heart be in the
right place. the knowledge will be Of
benefit to both the contracting parties.
On the other hand, the man should
not expect tho woman to earn her own
support, even though she may have
been accustomed to do SO previously.
On the other hand, she should expect
and wish to be his true helpmeet in all
things. And in our judgment, those
homes are the happiest. when together
they 60 on and prosper In the acoumu.
lation Of worldly goods. Or, If adver.
sity overtake them, feel that it came to
them unitedly. and was not precipi.
