READERS Of the metropolitan press
have been RECALLED with particulars of
the latest American novelty, in the
form of the apparatus which is to be
used at the electrocution of kenmler,
the wife murderer in Auburn, n. Y,
prison this week. One of the proyis-
ions OF the lazy which substituted death
by the electric current fos legal strangu-
lation was that the punishment should
be strictly private, but notwithstand
ing the provision every feature of the
affair has been discussed in advance
and has been digested with a presumed
relish. Nothing of the kind has been
so thoroughly discussed since the four
Chicago anarchists were left in such a
terrible state of suspense three years
ago. 1t is given oat, too, that Kemmler
cOntemplates his fate with calmness
and has become sufficiently repentant
and conscious Of bis crime to regard
his punishment as Just: that he antici-
pates the event as one that will instan-
tapeously transport him from Auburn
prison to tho Besrly gates. Kemmler
will be seated in an easy chair, with
straps about his body and arms, wires
will be attached to his head and spine,
by means of switch the electric cur,
rent will be turned on, then 49,

any scheme kemmler may entertain ol

The Iowa congressional delegation,
with the exception of the second dis
trict misrepresentation, is composed of
thorough tariff reformers from a pro-
tective stand point. Congressman Gear
who enjoys in very large degree the
confidence of the people is reported as
saying with regard to the new bill:
heartily indorse it for the reason that il
is the first bill which has ever been pre-,
Sented in congress recognizing the fact
agricultural products are as much and
as strongly entitled to protection as are
all other interests. The sugar schedule
has been framed to meet the positive
demand of large majority of the Re.
publicans of the house and the country
1t relieves the people of fifty odd mil
lions of money which practically has
been for many years direct tax on
them, and really is an article which has
no place in protective tariff, for the
reason that the product of sugar in this
country is so small that it does not af.
feet the price in the least. No schedule
in the tariff bill gives it more strength
than this, from the fact that the PEG,
pie know that under this bill they will
get free raw sugar.

FATHER COFFIN has long been re-
garded as a crank, for the reason that
in season and ont of season, in private
conversation and on the stump, he has
vigorously and intelligently advocated
the adoption of automatic couplings
on cars. Tedious columns of figures
and argument have been compiled in
support of his position, and thrust in
upon the hours the legislators devoted
to meditation. At last the old gentle.
mans labors have borne fruit in the
laws passed by this assembly COMPEL
ing railroads to have such couplers in
use on their lines by June 1st, 1898
And now Father Coffin, formerly crank,
is a philanthropist!

UNCLE JERRY RUsK, who is some
thing of an agriculturist himself, made
a threat few months ago to the effect
that if the new tariff bill did not prop
erly protect agricultural interests he
would inform the farmers of the coun.
try of the tariff proclivities of the var,
ious congressman, and trust the far
mers to see to it that those who did not
serve the agricultural interests should
not be returned. But since our Uncle
Jerry has seen the new bill he is well
satisfied with its provisions, and re,
CARDS it as coming as near to the inter
ests of the whole country as it is pos.
sible to attain.

THE decision of the supreme court of
the United States announced yesterday
raises no new point as to the constitu-
tionality of the Iowa prohibitory law.
That has been established beyond a
peradyenture in previous decisions of
the same court. Yesterdays decision
is simply that liquor shipped from
another state cannot be seized in origi-
nal packages in transit to the Iowa i'm
porter. When the liquor becomes the
property of the importer, as the court
goes on to hold, it is subject to the To-
cal laws. In fact, this decision, like
previous supreme court decisions, as
sumes the cOnstitutionality of a state
prohibitory law-.Sionc city Journal.

a mayor few weeks ago, and thus en-
couraged, together with the triumph of
Mr.. Boies, the saloons of Sioux City
were re-opened. The good people of
Sioux City had become forgetful of the
true aspect of the saloon during a
period of at least partial enforcement,
but upon its establishment as an in

such vigorous and united kick that

DEMOCRATIC papers are gleefully an
ticipating the Sioux City convention in
June as theater of war between re-
publican factions. Nothing can more
forcefully argue for republican harmony
than democratic prophecy of war, and
we hope the agitators will continue to
voice their wishes in prophesy up to
the hour of the convention. But the
situation offers no encouragement to
democrats. 1t is undoubtedly true
that the convention viii be q republi-
can parliament to discuss ways and
means Of defeating the opposition.
Principles will be discussed, the best
win trump, and the republican hosts
will issue from that convention united
and harmonious, and go forth to carry
she next election by majority between
0ftccn and twenty thousand.

THE democrats have become so badly
confused in their tariff arguments that
they contradict themselves. They have
cried that the tariff is tax on all that
is consumed by the farmer and now in
trumping up an objection to the Nc.
Kinly tariff bill they say that the tariff
placed upon agricultural products will
not increase the price of such articles.
Certainly one argument or the other is
false, for both cannot be true. 1t is
possible that the tariff parrot has be-
come blindly Jealous, and is gradually
drifting into stupidity.
