Make Execution. Terrifying

No matter what means may be decided
upon to nlict the death penalty cleo
tricity or otherwise, the awful mandate OF
the law should be executed in secret.
There is something dreadful surround
ing the mystery OF mans taking of in
the gloomy confines Of prison corridor;
something that creates horror that h
public execution could not inspire, and
that is as it should be. L. is meet and
proper that dread should be inspired. and
the public press should aid in creating
this dread. The law in carrying out its
awful mandate does not deprive human
being of life for revenge. 1t is not the
carrying out Of the old Mosaic law, AN
eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth, "
1t is the example and the fear inspired in
the heart Of the evil joer. 1t is to deter
him from the commission of like crime
1t is not vengeance. 1t is not the life for
a life, but it is the terrible warning tell
ing of the terrible fate that awaits the
murderer.
Let this then be surrounded with all
the awful mystery that can be devised,
and society will be benefited. There will
be fewer Driscolls, ard fellows Of like
kidney, with whom killing is pastime.
Place before these men, and all men,
the picture of the mysterious, the awful,
the terrifying execution in secret, and
they will shrink from the commission of
crime which brings with it such PEN
atty. Electricity may be the most
humane agent that can be employed in
doing a man to death, but its application
must not be as commonplace as hang
ings, else the laws last mandate loses all
its terrOrs.

A Washington dispatch says; "Tht
Eleventh Illinois congressional district
came nobly to the front with petition
presented in the senate for the passage
OF laws prohibiting the sale of liquor in
the District OF Columbia. If there is
anything that delights the average Dis
trict of Columbian it is 20 see disinter-
ested kindness of this sort from district
or county or state which won't adopt
prohibition for itself d"
II such petition has been in circula,
ton in this district, it has not beer
prominently before the people, at Least
in this end of the district. In fact we
have heard Of no such petition, and
doubt whether it was circulated here.
At any rate petitions praying for the
enforcement of prohibition in the Dis
trict of Columbia have been pouring into
Washington, it being the evident desire
of the cold watcrites to keep Our states>
men free from the eXhileratng influences
of corn sod and sour mash. In some
quarters at least, the outside rcformers
are not meeting with much encourage
ment as witness the following letter
from Congressman Hayes:

done If desired by some more congenial
spirit, but | must decline to lend even q
quas,indorsement to the scheme, even to

Pile, and long residence in Iowa has
shown me that it is an infamous, intoler
ant, cruel, blghting curse when attempt
ed to be put into practice. 1t has no
feature to commend it, and has
brought to the surface, to fatten on
the earnings of honest men and
to play tyrant and oppressor over help
less women and children even, a set of
legalized spies and informers. 1t is to be
hoped that the District of Columbia will
be saved from all this experience. Then,
again, / think 1t in bad taste and offlcious
meddling for the people of Iowa to att
tempt to force legislation upon this Dis
trict in a matter of mere local concern,
not involving any question OF inherent
right or wrong. Again, observe on this
petition the names of mere children who
have not arrived at an age to even have
a well>defined idea of the matter and |
do not want to be a party to presenting
their names as petitioners entitled to con
sideration and weight upon such an
issue. Yours very truly,

TEN MEN BURNED TO DEATH.
Frightfui Holocaust at the Burning of
boarding House.

boarding House.
TOWER Mimi, Jan. 3D. Fire broke out in
the Barnaby boarding house and saloon, on
the main street of the town at an early hour
Saturday morning. and before tue inmates
could be awakened the structure was sheet
'of flames. Five men were certainly roasted
alive and their charred bodies taken from
the ruins, and it is variousy estimated that
from two to nine others were also caught in
the flames. The bodies of the following,
burned to crisp, were recovered: Robert
Whitford, w. II. Barnes, Dan UConnell,
AleXandor Rrandt and Mike Trump
Every body was asleep when the fire brooks
out, and there was terrible struggle among
those who were saved to reach the street.
Men fought with each other in the narrow
passageways like wild beasts in their en-
deavor to reach an exit first, the consequence
being that most of those engaged in the
struggle persisted. One escaped, and tells
the story OF the panic.
A friond and roommate of one of the
boarders, who was laid up with rheumatism,
tried to get his partner out. He got him as
far as the front door, and finding that
locked kicked it open. Turning around he
could not facs the flames, and was compelled
to let his companion perish, and barely es.
capped with his own life.
young lady who was sick in the doomed
building was rescued with difficulty.
There were over thirty people in the build
ing,
LATER Search for the bodies of those
burned was continued and five more were
taken out of the ruins, making total of
ten. All are too badly disfigured TO be
recognized. 1t is thought some bodies may
have hean-entirely consumed. One of the
bodies is believed to be that Of Jack Collins,
of Superior, Wis.

The only place, 1t says, is the Madison Square
garden, aud the acoustics there are bad, as
has frequently been demonstrated. The Press
then goes on to say;
"The hotel proprietors of New York are not
seeking to have the Democratic convention
located here. Several Of them say that they
generally have business enough during the sea.
son when the convention would probably be
held, that oftentimes they turn people away.
II tue coming Of the Democratic conclave
should depend on their action IL is safe to
say, from the sentiment expressed, that it
would not be held in New York"
A telegram from Washington City says
the question is one Of the topics OF tue day
there and that the president uniformly re-
fuses to 80 an record as to his preference,
although pressed to do so. San Francisco is
making IA big effeort and promises that it

WASHINGTON Cry, Jan. 90. Gen. Greedy,
chief signal officer, was before the house ap.
propriations committee Saturday to urge
that immediate appropriations be made to
maintain signal service stations in vari-
Gus places, principally in the west many OF
which had already been discontinued, and
other stations at important points would like
wise be forced to discontinuance unless
prompt action was taken to provide the
means to pay the necessary expenses. Gen.
Greedy stated that the usefulness of the sig.
nal service was crippled because the last con-
gress cut down appropriations to the narrow.

recently sent to the clerks Of the navy de-

each one to state what, ii any, are his bust

revenue outside of his government work,
have brought out some very curious informa-
tion. 1t appears that very large proportion
of the clerks are engaged in some sort of pr.
waite occupation which brings them compen-
sation. One clerk writes that he is the pro-

BLAIR'S BILL LOSING GROUND.
Some Doubt That it VIII Pass-A Solid
Republican Vote Not Certain.


Republican Vote Not Certain.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. % "A revulsio n
of feeling regarding the Blair bill has begun.
Senator Blair shows some signs of discour-
agement, though he would probably not adj
nit this even TO himself Republican sena-
tors who have in previous years voted for
this bill are waverin e, and express doubt
whether they will vote for it again. The Dem
ocratic senators are still divided, so that gen.
eral support of the bill by Republicans is
needed to pass it. The debates have shown
that the south has the means of educating
all its own illterates; that ali the southern
states appropriate money with growing
hberahty for common school ednca-
ton, and large portion of the south is OPP
posed to the scheme. Northern senators are
beginning to reilsct that the bin proposes to
distribute the money in proportion to the
llllteracy of the states in the last census. All
the old slaves aud many of the white people
who are iiliterate, and who are far beyond
school age are counted for the basis of dis
tribution. But if the states got the money
they would not divide it according to the
number of persons Of school age. The pso-
