DEATH HBY ELEcTRICITY.-
The Scientific American, All au-
thority in such matters. suggests grave
doubts Of the successful working of
the law recently passed in the state
of New York, ordering capital offences
to be expiated by electricity. instead
Of hanging, AS heretofore. The exper-
ments made upon dogs and other AMI
mails show u wide variation in their re-
sistance, and their susceptibility to the
current Of electricity. After alluding
to these, the editor adds: "A perfect
and certain method for Staying human
beings by electricity has not yet been
evolved.''
Not only will every prison where
the death penalty Is inflicted have to
DO supplied with perfect electrical
plant, but it must be kept in perfect
order. Executions occur so seldom
that this will be difficult to do. A
skilled electrician will be required to
keep the plant in order ana apply it
to the victim. 1t is suggested that
few electricians will consent to officiate
AS executioners. The struggles of the
prisoner disturbing the electrodes
may bring about deplorable scenes
and results. The editor suggests suf
location by coal gas AS more certain
and more humane. In New York no
apparatus has been provided. and II"
provision made to carry out the law.
No specialists have been appointed
to administer death in this form. Elec.
tricity often kills when its Offices are
not desired, but whether it will obey
the order OF the state. when legally re-
Inired to lntlict death, is yet to be
demonstrated.
THE SENA TOR,
EDITOR ADVANCE An Old Time
Republican" in last weeks ADVANCE
voices the sentiments of the enemies
of the wealth producers of our county,
instead Of 1.-The more intelligent and
discerning minds" in advocating the
election of Wm. D. Washburn to the
United States Senate. Wasllburn s
election would be an insult to every
farmer and laborer in the State. His
whole career has been one of plundt r
Ol the people. The basis of his fortune
was laid as Surveyor General. He
came out of his Office. at the end of
four years, with thousands of dollars
worth of the most valuable pine lands
in the State. He mas been the head and
front of the Millers' ring at Minnpap0-
lis, and of all the robberies practiced
on the people by the little brass kettle.
and later by the extensive custom
houses at railway stations known rs
elevators. or flat houses, owned by con-.
panies of the disguised miller's ring,
aud the many other forms by which the
fruit of the farmers industry has been
transferred to the pockets of himself
and the other monied aristocrats of the
combine. He has also increased his
fortune millions Of dollars by issuirR
unpaid stock of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis Railroad, and selling out by issu.
ing 81 SOC, 600 income certificates of the
Minneapolis and Pacific. which are all
bogus, and selling it to the 800" line
of the q. T. r. Syndicate. The inter-
est on such bogns values will be exact
ed from future generations for all
tine to come. II he can 60 t., the Uni
ted States Senate, the corporations will
be so much the stronger ond the peo-
pie be the more enslaved. His election.
in my opinion, would drive the Repub.
licans out Of power in the State.
