Publican and Sinner.


sob, yes I've been a sinner, Jim,
A hard old case, they say;
And small's the need of mercy, Jim,
I've felt in many q day.
But, let the world say what it will,
Ihaye soul to suffer still.
Just so; they call me drunkard, Jim,
Although my lips have known
No taste or faint of liquor, jim,
For many months agone.
They keep the old rule, just the same,
And hang dog for his bad name.
And people, when they pass me, jim,
They turn theit eyes askance,
AS if they feared coutagion, Jim,
Lay IN my slightest glance.
OF course, it makes my old heart ache,
But it has grown too soft TO break.
The Pharisees are living, Jim,
AS in the days OF Old;
And just as unlorgiving, JIM
Their hearts are just as cold:
Each thankful that he's no such man
As that poor wicked Publican!
I've longed to feel and know it, Jim,
That l had just one friend
With strength enough TO show it, Jim,
Before I reach the end.
HOPED that through my clouded past
Would fall one ray Of light at last
Yes, was once a member, Jim,
And thought that all was well
But mine was weak old timber jim
Was tempted, and fell;
And though l struggled from the dust,
The world still views me with distruSt.
How's that? You say Pm dying, JIM
Well, merciful is God
And when my body S lying, Jim,
rest-beueath the sod,
Then You may-ten 'em-how tried
To conquer siu--triumphed-and

". VA, JANUARY 10, 1888,


The IgrELLlagEcRR published yesterday
in lie telegraph columns a synopsis Of the
repor. Of the New York Legislative COM
mission, in which 1t was recommended
that tho hanging be abolished and that
electricity bs substituted therefor IS the
method Of executing criminals. In their
report tho commissioners recommend also
that ne wspaperB BIO prohibited from pub
llshing reports Of executions.
Ia thu abstract, we sse no objection to
ths enactment Of such Isw. 1t ia true
that the newspaper accounts Of hsugings
are, In many instances, dsmorsliztng and
even disgusting, and the minds and morals
Of the readers often suffer by seeing the
criminal treated by the press as q hero or
martyr rather than as brute deserving Of
an igrominious death. 1! is ofton the
case that too much space is devoted to the
daily lives Of condemned men for weekH
and months before the execution. Every
movement and utterancs made by them
is noted and dished up by enterprising Ie-
portors; while interviews apt to create
sympathy for them, are publiahed with
sensational head lines. The result is that
the criminal soon ccmesto bs looked upon
as sort of hero, and is often surpriSed
himself 10 find that he has grown to be q
peraonago Of very great importance. He
is visited in his cell by susceptible and
soft hearted women, is the recipient OF
sympa.hisipg messages, fowep, dainty
edlbles, aud other attentions that inspire
in him kind Of prido in his position;
while the minds Of the susceptible youth
are inbued with the idea that the muir
derer'S lot is not SO unhappy sfter all.
But while these evils are necessary out
Srowths Of too much attention to these
matters by the newspapers, the law pro-
hibitirg them from such publications
Bhould be discriminating one. Says an
exchange: "It would be better for every.
body concerned If newspapers gave but
bare announcement OF the execution Of
ordinary murdersrs, but when q murder
Ia really an important histOricGl euent 1t is
as absurd to condense to q msre announce
meut the expiration Of the crime IS the &C.
count of the crime itself. To make
mystery OF an execution like that Of Gui.
teau, for example, or Of the Chicago An
srchists is proceeding too much in the
line of despotic Government to be &C.
ceptsble here: 1t is not very easy to see
by what means discrimination could be
enforced but some discrimination there
surely ought to be-"
Newspapers should be educators Of the
people and not their demOralizers. The
publication Of the details of the execution
Of criminal, when necessary, should be
confined to tho facts, which are usually
terrible enough. aud anything like gush,
or surrounding circumstances that tend to
make hero of the murderer, should, In
the interest of public morals, be carefully
avoided

A Tin,oly Suggestion,

A complicated business and social sem
sation Is Just now furnishing food for the
Eosslps of Wall street and Fifth avenue in
New York. The matter grows out Of the
death, or supposed death, Of Charles D.
Keep, millionaire broker, and editor Of the
Wal Street Netrs, which occurred on the
12sh Of last June.
Now comes q woman calling herself
Mrs. Mary T. Keep, who claims to be the
lawful vile or widow oil the departed
brokor, and applies for the elimination Of
the body buried IS that Of Keep, and al
legso that her husband is not dead; that
he is Stimulating death for purposes best
known to himself, and that the corpse
resting in Cavalry cemetery lie q bogus
one.
In support Of her application Mrs. Keep
has made an affidavit in which she de-
clarss thGt "when it was rumOred that
Rals.on, the California banker, had COM
mitsed suicide, Keep declared that he
would not commit suicide; that, in like
contingency, he would conspire with Ger
tain physicians and feign death; that
while the fraudulent funeral was in pro.
gress he would effect hin escape and take
up his residence in the Thousand Islands
OF elsewhere"
She declares that in 1878 they mutually
made Wills in esch others favor, and sub.
sequently, when che entrca.od him to
mend his dipsolute life, he beat her and
declared that he would defraud her, living
or Dead OF her lawful estate; that his Al.
legged will Of 1881 Ia fraudulent; that his
business in Exchange place, New York, is
still conducted 90 though he were alive,
and that Keeps employees therein have
defrsuded and assaulted tie deponenti
that she is entitled to hilestate, and to
prove up her claim must have evidence Of
Kssp's DEATH"
All this has, very naturally, created
profound ssnSation, and some interesting
