NEW USE FOR ELECTRICITY.

The bill in the New York legislature,
that all executions after the first of jan
uary next shall be by electricity instead
of hanging, is certainly an advance in the
civilization of this wonderful age. The
professed object of this specimen of the
sickly sentimentalism of our remarkable
era, is humanity to the assassin, while not
thought is given to the woes of his victim
There is little doubt, however, that, in a
few years, the electrical method of CAPT.
tai punishment-if any of that article
should be left by the false humanitarian
ism of these milk and water times-will
as surely succeed the hangman's rope as
the incandescent lights of our streets have
already driven out the now old-fashioned
gas lamp. The murderer, when con-
demned to death az all, must be
sent to kingdom come" in the
easiest, most comfortable way possible
None OF the horrors, the gaspings, the
CHASTITY effusion of blood, must attend
his exit that usually mark the terrible
death of the murdered man. Justice
might adjust her balances and call it
square, provided that when man is 60
ing to murder another-here in Texas, in
in Waller county, for instance-he
could be provided with an cleo
trical machine and shock his vic
tim to death, instead of shooting him
like beef, or butchering him. But this
will hardly be. Popular sympathy, now
s-dsys runs alone with the assassin. The
sufferings of the slain or his orphan chill
dren are forgotten in our anxiety for the
comfort and safety of the red-handed muir
derer, for whom the ignominy and terrors
of the rope are to be things of the past.

CATTLEhES find another consolation in the fact that the attempts to sup. ply the old world with beef from Aus. tralia and South America have resulted 'n the financial wreck of those engaged in the business. Meantime, American ieef, dressed and undressed, is extend, ing its field of usefulness, and it is be, ieved by cattlemen that the suspension If firms engaged in the South Ameri, can and Australian beef business will iedound to the benefit of the industry in the United States,

TIE position of the Grand Army of the Republic on the pension question is very simple, honorable, and patriot ic one, notwithstanding the persistent alisrepresentations of Democratic politi, tions. It does not ask for cent either in the name of charity or extra com pensation for services rendered; it only y asks that great and rich Govern, ment should honor itself by caring in a just and reasonable way for class of men who are not able to earn living on account of disabilities directly traceable to hardships endured and risks assumed in the work of saving that Government from destruction.

THE SENATE GAvEL.
A Chunk of Ivory That Has Seen Much
 Servios..

Some weeks ago a visitor to the sen ate noticed that the gavel used by the presiding officer s.had no handle, and, supposing that it was badly banged up from long and rough use, raised an ,larm in the newspapers, which has brought Senator Ingalls, @ number of handsome gavels from manufacturers of such articles, and offers from others to furnish supply without charge to the Senate. MT. Ingalls, has declined to accept any of them, for he recognizes that most of the favors are made for the sake of getting an advertisement. although some may come from pure patriotism.
 "As matter of fact" he said speaking of the gavel without handle, 'that gavel never had handle. It is in just as good condition to-day as it ever was. Its origin and its history are not known beyond the fact that it is a section of an elephants tooth; that it was in the senate 56 years ago, when Capt. Bassett first entered the service, and that even at that remote time it was looked upon as venerable heritage from antiquity. It may have served as a paper weight on Buddha's desk, when the old patriarch lived. One thing is certain-It is a good serviceable gavel yet. Age has not made it obsolete, On the contrary, every additional day adds to associations and increases its inter est. Order you know, was heavens first law, and this venerable elephants tooth has been rapping for order so long that it seems quite possible that it may have been heavens first gavel and that there may never be another like it."--Wash. Letter.

The National Game,

The organization of league in New Mexico and the prospects for a series of spirited games during the coming season has given new i'm petus to the national game in that section. Last year the Flagstaff club visited Albuquerque and played their crack nine SO close game that the superiority of the respective hines cannot be settled without another trial of conclusions.
 That the Albuquerque club is ready for the match Is indicated by the following letter:
 Albuquerque, Mch. 4. WILLIAM HAIGHT, Esq.
 Flagstaff, Arizona.
 DEAR SIR: l understand that you are the manager of the Flagstaff B. B. C., and as I am in the same position on the A. B. B. C., I would like to make arrangements for our clubs to cross bats some time in March. Let me know the amount of money it will be necessary for us to put up to bring your club here. Hoping you will answer at once, l remain. Yours Respectfully, CHAs. COLEMAN. Flagstaff has some good ball play. CTS and if a reorganization is effected the ",ie choppers nine" as the Albuquerqueans like to call them, will stand an even chance to bring the penant accross the line.

FALL OF THE GIANT.

Perhaps the death of no man in the world could produce 80 pro. found sensation at the present time as that of Kaiser Wilhelm, Emperor of the United Kingdom of Germany. After decline which continued through several months, the deteriorated vitality of the Emperor's 9l years of age, sue cumbed to the ravages of disease, and on yesterday morning his great spirit peacefully passed away.
 The Emperor was the son of King Frederick III, and Queen Louise. He was born at the Imperial Palace on March 22d, l797 and would have reached the remarkable age of 9l on the 22d inst. In 1861 he was crowned King of Prussia and in Octo, Der 1870 having brought together the various Kingdoms of Germany into one great empire, he was proclaimed Emperor of the United Kingdom of Germany. In the organization of the German Empire and in the strong gov ernment which has characterized it, in its unAinching foreign policy and in the successful conduct of the Franco Prussian war, Emperor Wilhelm has impressed himself upon the history of the world as one of the most promi- nent characters among the architects of nations and moulders of empire, while his kindly disposition and fatherly care for the welfare of his subjects, has en- deared him to the German nation so that his memory will be affectionately cherished as the father of his country.
 Prince Frederick William is the lineal successor of the dead Emperor and although the young Prince is now suffering from a fatal malady, which may end his days at any moment, should hls life be spared until the necessary preparations can be made, he. will be crowned a Emperor.
 Fears are entertained that con fusion in the affairs of Germany may arise from the death ot Prince Will liam whose tenure of life may no last beyond his coronation, but sucl fears seem groundless in view of tn. fact that the great Chancellor, Prince Bismarck remains the power behind the, throne and as he did in the tur bulent times of 1870, will in such al emergency, guide the ship of stat to a safe mooring.

Take the Best Paper.

The best way to keep thoroughly
posted on all matters of human inter-
est is to take firstclass daily paper,
which Is honest and just in its opin.
ion, truthful and thorough In its pre-
sentation of news, and faithfully de-
voted to the best interests of the sec.
tion in which it is published.
Such a paper is THE DENVER RE-
PUBLICAN. In everything that goes
to make daily journal of the high.
est class, it stands supreme among
the newspapers of the west, and
everything that the application of
brains and money can do to make
each Issue better than the last will
be done in the future as in the past.
With the best platform ever pre-
sented to the American people by
any political party, and ticket that
must command the respect and con.
tidence of all fairmlnded citizens, it
will be our pleasant duty during the
campaign to carry the gospel of Re
publicanism to every home in which
the progress and prosperity of this
country is desired In the protection
of American industries and the per-
petuation of Republican institutions
to aid. us in this great and good
work,
1t is OF vital importance to the west
that the policy of encouragement to
labor and capital, which has been
the ruling spirit of Republican rule,
and the main cause of the Nations
growth in moral aud material great
ness during the last quarter of CEN
tury, SHOULD be continued for an in
definite period to come, and that re-
suit can be most successfully achiev-
ed through the agency of patriotic
press.
HE DENVER REPUBLICAN, has,
and will have, nothing to do with
factional or personal differences of
opinion within the Republican party.
1t has no spites to crafty and no old
scores TO settle. 1t will strenuously
endeavor at all times to promote the
spirit of harmony and to improve
the chances of party victory. 1t will
stand up for the rights of the people
against the aggressiops of corpora
tons and classes, and 1t will at all
times be prepared to express its hon,
estopinions in fair. and unmistakable
language on all questions affecting
the public welfare. Address
