The other day the telegraph conveyed the news
OF the suicide OF a sheriff In one OF the southern
states, who became insane throu!h brooding over
the fact that he had once been required to hang
q woman In New York state, a few months ago.
great excitement prevailed everywhere over the
impending execution OF the death sentence upon
Cniaro Clgnarale, an Italian wife who had killed
her husband; though In that instance there were
extenuating circumstances which gave rise to a
reasonable doubt Of the justice Of the penalty i'm
posed, and the Governor tnterfered &C the last
moment In Massachusetts, there Is now lingering
over the head Of Sarah j. Robinson a threat OF
judicial death, whose fulnlment multitude of
enthusiasts are trying TO avert, not because there
Is any question OF her being a murderer, and of a
particularly deliberate and hendish sort, but be-
cause she Is woman. The logic OF such distinc-
ton Is not plain. Why should one person be ex-
empted from penalty which another person Is
forced TO suffer, simply because Of difference of
sex? IT Is not an agreeable idea-that OF killing a
woman Neither Is IL pleasant TO think OF killing
q man Punishment In every shape Is repulsiye
10 humane sentiment, and especially when the
mode resorted TO Is one which ends all and admits
OF no restitution. But II we are 10 hang anybody
why not women as well as men?
