UNIVERSAL DIsOBEDIENCR.

One phase of the electrical execution in
New York has peculiar importance as il
Illustrating the success of law which for
bids American newspapers to publish the
news. The law providing for electrical ex-
ecution enacted that "no account Of the de-
tails Of any such execution beyond the state
ment of the fact that such convict was on
the day in question, duly executed, accord
ing to law at the prison, shall be published
in any newspaper" and made it misde-
meanor to violate thisenactment The con.
sequence is that the entire press of the State
of New York has committed misdemeanor.
The staid New York Post has made the
claim that it alone of all the newspapers of
the State respected the law. But the fact is
that the esteemed Post was unable to con-
quer its newspaper instincts sufficiently to
comply with this enactment. As the New
York Sun says the only report permitted in
accordance with this enactment would be to
say that William Kemmler, the convict,
was duly executed to-day at the Auburn
prison according to the provisions of chap
ter 4S9 Of the New York laws of 1882" The
the affair sufficiently to make its report of
the execution about four times as long as
the legal report. This is an evidence of the
impossibility of binding down newspaper
enterprise to the limits prescribed by law.
But what is to be done in view of the fact
that the entire newspaper profession of a
State has committed misdemeanor? It is
L. Id, "a dali
erately violate the provisions of foolish or
pernicious legislation; but in that case the
importance of the general enforcement of
law requires their submission to the penal
ties of the violated law. The State Of New
York, having committed itself to legal
provision that the newspapers shall not pub
lish the news, the only way to maintain the
supremacy of law is to punish the contuma-
cious editors who violate the enactment.
Under these circumstances we do not see
any escape from the expectation that for
the next thirty or sixty days our esteemed
and enlightened cotemporaries in the EN-
pire State will be edited and managed from
the workhouses.
General Grant once declared That the best
way to get rid of bad law is to enforce it.
If New York had passed law forbldding
water to run down hill, the undertaking to
dam up and imprison the lawless streams
which continue to flow according to gravi-
tation would be the surest way to cause the
repeal of such Law. Having undertaken
an equally hopeless task in trying to pre-
vent the newspapers from telling about any
event of public importance, it must consign
all the newspaper profession to Jail as the
surest way of getting this absurd and use
less provision repealed.

ALEAD1NG JOURNALISTS DEATH.

The death of Mr.. Il. H. Byram, editor OF
the Chronicle Telegraph, which Is an
nounced in our local columns, removes a
figure that has long been prominent in the
journalism of this city. At the time of his
death there were very few among the news
paper workers Of this city who could show
a longer career of continuous service in the
various departments of journalism than Mr..
Byram. His newspaper career commenced
in the local department of The DISPATCH,
and his merits won him the position Of
city editor on this paper some seventeen
years ago. Having transferred his services to
the Telegraph in 1877, he continued to secure
advancement until he attained the manage
ment and proprietary control of the Chror-
icIe- Telegraph, which position he filled for
many years before his death. Mr.. Byram's
career was signal example Of the success
of earnest and persistent endeavor; and his
death will be mourned by a wide circle of
friends in newspaper and business circles.
