WE have received communication from a resident of Stone street who complains that the two electric lights in his neigh borhood are hardly ever on duty. He says it is bad enough to be without water half the time in the summer season and that 1t is laying abuse on thick to deprive resi- dents of that street of electric light. We agree with our correspondent, and gladly make the matter public This is the> first complaint of the kind we have heard from the Abrieador, and probably the electric light people knew nothing about the blank lights. We would call their attention to the matter and no doubt the wants of Stone street will be attended to at once.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

The New Haven Register gives consider able space to the subject of capital pun ishment and makes some peculiar argu- ments. "We think" says the Register, "that no one can study the history of the death penalty, as described in the report of the New York commission, without coming to the conclusion that it rests with us to-day upon a totally different ground from that whereon former legislators based it. The retributive element in our time has dropped out entirely; we seek methods of execution which shall be pain less. Formerly it was made horrible, and made public, in order that thus people at large might be frightened away from those crimes of which it was the legal conse- quence. Now the tendency is to render it's infiction humane and to perform it secretly in order that the public may not be brutalized by the contemplation of it.. If it is designed to protect society, it can do so only by being pointed out to the i'm agination as the certain, though secret, re- suit of particular crimes. But we doubt if the criminal mind will be very profoundly impressed with the imaginary and invis- ible terrors of punishment which they never see inflicted, and of which they can never read accounts in the newspapers. In other words, to be an impressive deterrent from crime, capital punishment must be public in order that by the visible and dreadful spectacle which it presents the criminal may be terrified and appalled, He will not be terrified by what he cannot see but has to imagine. But experience proves that when it is public it is debas- ing. We come then to this dilemma: In order to prevent crime, capital punish ment must be publicly inflicted; but, when it is publicly inflicted, capital punishment provokes crime!

 For several years the name of a New York alderman has been synonomous of dishonesty and disgrace, or at least the press of the country have tried to make ii so.

His wife, in her answer to the suit, says that hel husband has blackened her eyes twenty times in the seventeen years of their mar ried life; has jumped on her; has beaten 1 her over the head with his heavy shoes has kicked her and struck her, and in other ways maltreated her.

THE need of a new police station in this city was never more apparent than now At present the lookup contains five in- mates, one of them woman, waiting to be transferred to New Haven jail to serve out sentences for drunkenness and other offenses. Two of the prisoners have been confined since Saturday, and anyone who has ever had glimpse of the interior of the station can understand the situation and pity the miserable wretches confined In the pen. The cell room is dark and musty hole, poorly ventilated, with damp walls; a horrible place, not fit prison in which to con6ne any human being. Chief Ezan feels for the prisoners under his charge, but has no authority to release them. They have been sentenced to jail and to jail they must go. The cell doors have been. left open and the prisoners have thapgiyileSe of the corridor, which is the 1iuasd fae Caa1Gs ss.aussy.

THE DEMOCRAT has had great sale the past two days, and the combination of cir cumstances which made it impossible for the New York papers to reach Waterbury has brought out all the sharp newsboys, who have piled in and sold the DEMOCRATS by the hundred. One little fellow with an eye to business came into the office yester- day morning and bought up 200 copies, all there was left of our Wednesday edition, and walked to Naugatuck where he dis posed of the lot in short order, and did not have half enough to satisfy the pent-up Naugatuckians.

CONGRESSMAN AMOS J. CUMMINGS, the well-known New York journalist, tells Washington correspondent that while there may be slight opposition to Cleveland in New York, the unit rule will have the effect of making the delegation solid. 'If the legislature of Ohio," he says, "enforces the prohibition law which it has just pass ed, believe that by nominating Congress- man Outhwaite for vice president, the democrats could carry Ohio, as they would thus secure the large German vote in Gin cinnati, Columbus, and in fact in the en- tire state." MT Cummings thinks the re- publicans will nominate either Sentator Hiscock or Chauncer M Depew.

THE Prison Mirror, an interesting little sheet published by the convicts of the Saltwater, Minn., penitentiary thinks it would be wise to have a court in perpetual session to keep an oversight of per sons who are imprisoned for long terms or for life. The idea is good one. Many cases occur in which people are sentenced wrongfully, or when public indignation runs high, and a review of such cases do no harm, and might save much suffering.
