BREAkING THE RULE.

But the deviation from the rule may he
explained BY the fact that IN this case il
was matter Of sustaining high charges

the result in this case would indicate that

HEIRS OF TIME.

Inscribed to Edward Bellamy.)
From street and square, from hill and glen
of this vast world beyond my door.
1 hear the tread of marching men,
The patient armies of the poor.
The halo of the city's lamps
Hangs, a vast torchlight, in the air;
1 watch it through the evening damps:
The masters of the world are there.
Not ermine-clad or clothed in state,
Their title deeds not yet made plain;
But waking early. toiling late,
The heirs of all the earth remain.
Some day. by laws as fixed and fair
AS guide the planets in their sweep.
The children of each outcast heir
The harvest-fruits of time shall reap.
The peasant brain shall yet be wise.
The untamed pulse grow calm and still;
The blind shall see. the lowly rise
And work in peace Times wondrous will.
Some day without trumpet's CALL
This news will DER the world be blown:
"The heritage comes back to all!
The myriad monarchs take their own!''

Limping Logic.


In some parts of the Union the authori-
ties are discussing the question of substi-
tuting electricity for the gallows in the ex-
ecutiOn of criminals under sentence OF death.
One state makes obligatory the employment
of the subtle force whose vigorous applica-
ton destroys life instantly. One of the
latest arguments for capital punishment by
the use of electricity is that it can be ad-
mnistered in seclusiOn-away from the
eyes of imprisoned men and from the gaze
of the public in large or small assemblies
and hence the demoralzing influences of
the life-taking scene would be greatly di-
mnished.
We have ever been accustomed to think
Gus in all their applications as well as
definitions, that their embodiment in hu-
man acts, laws and institutions works good,
and that only. to individuals. to society, and
to the nation. and that in whatever manner
incOngruity appears in mans administra-
tiOn of these divine principles there is
afforded reliable evidence of a mistake in
the Interpretation and application of them.
In keeping with this postulate is every
command OF the DecalOgue and every pre-
cept of the Gospel as they are scripturally
applied to human affairs. TO be right. and
therefore logically just, human enactmentS
should correspond in spirit and effect to the
divine laws. If this harmony exists. the
influence of the human law will be eIevat-
ing, and will cause every mind to approve
the method of it's application. Now, how
is it in regard to capital punishment? Does
not every person who is competent. by en-
dowment and by knowledge of facts, to
pass Judgment upon it know that the in
fuence of that form of punishment is de-
mOraliZing to every behOlder of it and that
knowledge of its employment weakens
the moral sense of the community?
If capital punishment were right and
just, there would be no occasion to demand
the almost entire exclusion of the public
from the place of it's ADMINISTRATION, for
whatever is right and just in human gov
ernment, as in the divine rule, is invariably
beneficial in application as it is praise
worthy in verbal declaration. For this
reason the argument in defense of such
mode of Furnishing crime is lame. The
logic by which it is attempted to support it
limps at every step. On the other hand.
the judgment and conscience unite in ap-
proving the Imprisonment for life of every
man or woman who is guilty of a capital
crime. Such penalty elevates the moral
tone of the community, for the universal
verdict is that the criminal has forfeited his
liberty and by his incarceration the public
is protected. The Gospel Banner.
