Hanged for Burglary.

Lee Carson, colored. was hanged last week
at Shelby, North Carolina, for burglary. Ii
seems strange to iufiict capital punishment
for such an offence, bat burglar will geuer-
ally commit murder rather than be detected.
They usually carry deadly weapons when on
thieving excursions, aud viii use thcm rather
than be captured. They therefore do not
deserve any more mercy than deliberate
murderer, ana The North Carolina ias, in view
of these facts, is none too severe. The law
was passed chiefly to protect country mer-
chants. who usually sleep 10 their stores, and
whose lives we're endangered by barglars.
The burning Of an inhabited dwelling is pun,
ishable by death in Maryland and in other
states, and a burglar Is a. much . murderer a.
an ineeudiary. The dweilersin a burning house
have as much chance to escape as the dwell.
ers in a house ths, is being burgiariHsd.
The crime for which Carsoa was banged,
was the robbery Of the residence Of a widow
woman, bot according 10 bis confession he
had been engaged in numerous robberies,
extending over period Of twea,y years. He
began ihieving when a boy, and kept i ap

view with disgust the proceedings of their own
party in the Monumental City, and if Mr..
Rayner can reorganize the party upon the
basis of principles rather than upon personal-
ism and spoils, he will have accomplished
good work We fear he is not the man to
lead, for his conduct since his defeat last fall
has been such that any prominent part he
might take would beget suspicion that self
elevation and the visitation of vengeance upon
others were the impelhng causes of his action.
His explanation of the reason Cor his address
was not at all satisfactory. He stated that
since the adjournment of Congress he had
been invited to speak upon political issues IN
several counties, and he deemed it opportune
and right TO assemble and take a survey OF
the party situation. just why Mr.. Rayner,
of all others, should be invited to make adj
dresses, is not explained, but the reason Is
not left altogether to conjecture, for Mr.. Kay
ner has given in less public way some idea
of his feelings and designs, and the invitations
came no doubt from those who, like himself,
have personal grievances. His alluslon to
the repeal of the Eastern Shore law, was an
unfortunate one, if only party good is aimed
at, for he is credited with Senatorial aspira-
tons. His motives are suspected, and he has
only himself to blame for it. Therefore, It he
undertakes 10 lead, he can be certain Of such
criticisms as will break the force Of anything
he may say. and upset any plans he may pro

The American and French Revolu-
tionS.

The contrast presented between France and
the United States by retrospect of the cen
tury between 1889 and 1882 is OF a very
marked and distinct character. The French
revolution, according to the view of President
Carnot, is eommemorafed not on account of
the reign of terror and the massacre of war
ring factions, but for the substitution Of the
will of the people for the viii and the power
of one man as. the government of France.
The United States has Just celebrated the
hundredth anniversary of the formation of q
republican government which has advanced
in eyer-increasing strength and Importance.
France celebrates the overthrow ofs splendid
despotism, but is not yet assured as to the
character of the government which shall per
manently succeed it. No great nation, says
Harper's EIcek,g, has undergone such extra
ordinary changes within the century The
Directory, the Consulate, the Empire. the
Restoration ofthe legitimate King, the Citizen
King, the Republic, the Empire again, and
after the Commune once more the Republic,

The Past Six Months.
PROM Dc HaTrIsbars l'alTI0l-


More than SIX months have passed since
the triumph OF the high tariff party, fact
which recalls some of the assertions made by
the Republican newspapers and stump speak

was the result,
They admitted TO the people tina, the taria

they said, was shat the manufacturers were

This was the excuse of the mOnopOlistic

labor difficulties of the last half year. The
workinemen have not been told why there is
a difference in wages between Two places not

claim there is between this country and

election time comes around, however, II IS
safe to say they will grind out the old pro-
lection tunes.

The Registration Law.

The present registration law is costly and
cumbersome 1t is a reform measure,
drafted with care by gentlemen Learned in
the law, = to meet the supposed popular clamor
for a free and full ballot and a fair count.
Two wears practical test of its workings has
proved it to be no improvement on the former
law, but much more costly and difficult of
enforcement. Not every change is an i'm
provemeut, as this law demonstrates. One
sitting for registration in the counties IS
enough, whatever may be required in the city.
This law provides for three-May, September
and October The last would be ample, for
little attention is paid to the two former sit
tings. They serve, however, to increase the
expense of registration and add to the bur
dens of the tax payer. Such are the fruits OF
this cry for reform
