THE KEMMLER CASE.

As was expected, Judge Wallace of the
United States court has dismissed the writ
of habeas corpus in the Kemmler case and
remanded the prisoner to the custody of
the Warden of Auburn Penitentiary. There
remains one technical ground on which his
counsel may perhaps secure a few more
days delay, but the end is growing near.
There can hardly be a question but KenIm-
Ter, If he lives, will die by electricity before
many weeks elapse.
1t is we'll that all possible technical
points which can be raised in the case
should be made and settled, for if the SEN
tenee of the court is carried out it can
hardly fail to reyolutionize the law of capt.
tai punishment throughout the country. If
death can be caused instantaneously and
painlessly by the use Of the electric fluid
hanging will ultimately become obsolete.
1t is al best a barbarous mode of punish
ment, frigbtful to witness, and possibly ex-
cruciating te endure. No one can tell what
infinite accumulation of agoneS may not be
compressed into the ten or fifteen minutes
which elapse between the tightening of the
cord around the throat and the final cessa-
ton OF the hearts action. The wretch who
is hanged may die thousand deaths in the
interval-may suffer torments immeasura-
Bile. No one knows. But we do know that
an electrical current OF given energy,
which electricians measure in volts, when
driven through the body of perfectly
healthy man will destroy his life completely
in less than the space Of a second. so that
there can be no pain. If the purpose of the
law is to deprive the convict of life with
out infiicting on him torture or prolonged
pain, electricity would seem to fulfill the
purpose better than any of the forms now

eliminates against the importing business
and in favor of the domestic manufacturing
business. The law-making power does not
know individuals in their relations to the
business of the country. and consequently
can hardly be said to discriminate against
individuals engaged in lawful business.
If the Chairman will accept this amend
ment the friends of the Mckinley bin will
admit that his plant is true. The McKin-
ley bill does discriminate against the
importation of goods and in favor of the
manufacture of goods in this country. 1t
would not be protective tariff bill if it did
not. Discrimination in favor of American
industries is the cornerstone of the pro-
tective policy. The object of such dis
elimination is not to ruin importers, but to
build up manufactures in our country. If
importers find their business injured by a
policy which is beneficial to the whole
country, they must accept the consequences.
The nation cannot forego the benefits Of
manufacturing for the advantage of any
class of citizens however respectable and
worthy of consideration to individuals.
Importers dwell upon the number of men
and women they employ. They will hardly
contend, however, that they employ as
many as would be employed if the goods
they import were manufactured at home.
One member of the delegation estimated
the proportion of imported silk goods to
the domestic manufacture at about 60 to 40
There is no other reason why these pro-
portions should not be reversed than that
the cost of manufacturing is less in Europe
than in this country. The Mckinley tariff
purposely discriminates against the foreign
goods to the end that the proportion manu-
featured in this country may be increased.
Only few men whose interests are
affected injuriously by the promotion of the
general interest of the country will object
to such discrimination.

GIT OUT YOUR GUNS"

A Halifax journal advises its American
cousins TO "get ont your guns and polish
up your armor." The advice is based upon
the opinion of an English officer that
Canadian sealers will catch seals in dis
puted territory and that one or more Of
them will be seized by an American
cruiser. All this is probable, but it does
not follow that British feet will sail from
Halifax and bottle up" the commerce of
New York. The blockading Of all the
Atlantic ports would not paralyze the
business of the United States. So large
proportion of that business is internal that
the industries Of the country would go on
as if nothing had happened. II the blockade
should continue few months our mills
would do work that has been done in
England, but England would suffer more
from such change than the United States.
The American people cannot be seriously
injured by any blockade that can be main
tanned by British fleet. Up to the present
time the British Government has shown no
purpose Of backing up Canadian sealing
vessels in their trespass upon the waters
the American Government has declared
under American jurisdiction. 1t is not
probable after the long silence since tn
President issued his proclamation that the
British will suddenly adopt tie policy Of
forcible resistance Had such policy been
entertained there would have been formal
protest by the British Government against
the exercise Of rights assumed in the proc
lamation. 1t is not to be presumed that the
British Government desires a war with the
United States. In the event of such war
the British would gain some advantage at
the start, but the war would end by the
incorporation of the whole of the British
possessions in North America in the Ameri-
can Union. All Europe combined could
not transport troops enough across the
Atlantic to prevent this result.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
A Discussion Regarding Hose
and Hydrants.

A special meeting of the Fire Department
Committee of the Board of Supervisors
was held yesterday afternoon, called for
the purpose of considering the hose ques-
ton.
Chief Scannell. who was present, said he
had requested the furnishing of 5000 feet of
Paragon (cotton) and 5000 feet Of Maltese
Cross (carbolized) hose for the Fire Depart
ment. He stated that the carbolized hose
would cost ST 10 per foot and the cotton
hose 81 per foot.
Clerk Russell was directed to prepare an
advertisement for the furnishing of the
hose, and the Chief was authorized to OBJ
tain hose for immediate use, if necessary,
before the contract is filled.
The next question was the m after of pro-
viding more hydrants, which Samuel Rainey
urged was an urgent necessity. He de-
elared that the Fire Department is limited
to $4,000 year, and desired to know if
the appropriation for some other depart
ment could not be increased, and if the in
crease is not required, let it be applied to
the use of the Fire Department.
In answer to question, Clerk Russell
said there was nc limit on the amount to be
appropriated fol the Street Department.
Mr.. Rainey then wanted to know why the
Street Department could not be given $780,
600, and if it was not all used why the bal
ance could not be given over to the Fire
Department.
Chief Scannell thought the Fire Depart
ment should not be crippled in any way for
the want of funds, even If it is limited to
$4,000.
Action on the matter was postponed for
the present, as was also the question of the
$1,000 for the Firemen's Pension Fund, pro-
vided for by State law.

BOSS RULE.
HE Portland Oreaonfan saws !:

lu6 UIklduu OftyOfltUH says
Boss rule in municipal politics has borne its
natural fruit in San francisco The city is build
ing a new City Hall under the aIl-pervading
- political contract system. Official investigation,
apparently goaded on BY newspaper meddiing,
reveals frauds in construction which, II allowed
to remain, would render the building untenable,
aud which il will cost $4,000 TO repair. Con-
tractors paid for brick and masonry work have
built mere external shells and filed them with
dirt and rubbish. II does not appear who Is re-
spOnsible for the ftagds but It IS probable that
the influence that was able 10 obtain the con-
tracts will be strong enough to shield the perpe-
traitors from the just consequences of non-per-
Torrance. 1t is said that further investigation
will be made, but We all know what that means
If our Portland friend could see the num-
Der of stern-faced, determined men now
peering into the hollow walls of the new
City Hall, it might experience revival of
confidence in the work of investigation. AT
" present there are number Of men who are
pretty determined that the rascals who
planned and engineered this cheat shall be
punished There was at first general dis
position to make Hanks a scapegoat. a
sigh of relief went up when man appeared
and declared that Hanks was an eX-conyict.
There was disposition also to look upon
letter from Hanks to his late employer, in
Which eTJaln threats were iDaUe, as IN sOue
way relieving the contractors from RESPONSE
p bility in the matter. But a clearer view Of
the situation now prevails. Hanks may be
an ex-eonvict; he may also be black
mailer; he may even have been willing to
conceal his knowledge for consideration !;
but the ugly fact remains that walls that
should have been solid are mere shells,
But the apprehension is entertained in some
quarters that the determination now ap-
parent to punish the guilty parties, whoever
they may be, will not stand the test of time.
Men do not make such experiments as these
contractors appear to have made without
looking out line of retreat in case they
are caught. They probably have political
influence, which they rely upon to pull them
through some time after public attention
has ceased to keep them in close view. If
the case should work its way into the
courts, is not there chance that it will fall
into the hands Of one of Buckley's judges
and juries? The City Hall Commissioners
are undoubtedly working now in good faith
TO get at the truth of the matter, but they
viii probably consider that their duty is
performed when the stuffed walls are ex-
posed 10 public view.

BIDS ON THE BIG CRUISER.

1t is quite probable that the report that
Mr.. Cramp had said the bids on the big
cruiser were excessive is incorrect He
may have said something about excessive
bids, but he would hardly say after he had
been underbidden that both his own and
the lower bidder was excessive. Such re-
mark would imply that he was ready to
take advantage of the Government, and
only repented because he was unsuccessful.
The bid of the Union Iron Works was
100000 within the Government limit. The
bid of Cramp & Son was S35O.0CO within
the limit. The Risdon Iron Works of this
city were ready to take the contract at $780,
600 less than the limit. The Risdon Works
made close bid f0- first one, and proba-
bly, expected to lose money ON the contract
The Union Works and the Cramps having
already built vessels Of nearly the same
pattern could build another cheaper than
the other firm could build their first. The
Union Works is not supposed to have
made any money on the Charleston, but
their success with that vessel is better capt.
tai than a few thousand dollars in cash.
The Government, having placed limit on
bids, would seem to be bound to accept the
lowest without raising the question whether
il leaves a margin for profit or not

CUT BY A SAW.
An Employe In GiIIespie's Mill Nee,

An Employe In GiIIespie's Mill Meets
with Serious Accident.
J. Rogers, a sawyer, working in Giles
pies mill on the corner of Orchard and Ell
Dorado streets, met with serious accident
about 10 o'clock this afternoon, and mar
rowly escaped going through life without
any fingers on his left hand.
Mr.. Rogers came from his home, 60 Santa
Teresa street, after his lunch, and had just
commenced saving out strips for balus-
trades. In saving one off he reached
around the saw with his left arm to catch
the other end Of the strip. The hand COLI
ded with the buZzing teeth of the saw, and
lie supposed all his fingers had been cut off.
An examination showed that the little
finger had been cut Immediately above the
ling, and the third finger sawed into the
bone. The cuts on the first and second
fingers were not serious, and the surgeon
will probably have his hand healed up in a
few days.
Mr.. Rogers had been at work bnt short
time, having been attending to his brother,
who was thrown from horse and crippled
not long ago. The brother had also had his
hand mashed.-San Jose Herald, June 18th.

THE PENSION BILL.

There will probably be an cutlery against
the increase of the pension list proposed in
the bill the Conference Committee has
agreed upon. The fact that the sum of
about $50, 100000 is now distributed among
the soldiers of the late war and their de-
pendents has already called forth many
protests, mostly coming from the journals
and public men who advocate reduction
in the duties on foreign goods. These jour
nails think 1t hardship to tax the neces-
saries and common luXuries of life for the
benefit of soldiers whose service did not in
capacitate them from ordinary pursuits.
The sum it is now proposed to distribute
among old soldiers is equal 10 about two
thirds OF the revenue derived from duty of
two cents a pound on sugar. The McKin-
ley bill takes the sugar duty off entirely,
thereby sacrificing revenue to the amount
of little more than S50000,000 yearly.
Let US suppose now that instead of taking
this duty off entirely it is reduced to one
cent and half pound. The revenue at
that rate would be about S3S, 600, 00O, which
would provide for the increase in the pen
sion list without imposing very serious
burden upon the people. 1t should be re-
membered, also, that there is reasonable
prospect that q continuation of the tax on
foreign sugar will result in establishing the
industry of beet sugar in this country, thus
distributing among our people the $4,000
600 which is now sent abroad. During
the war we borrowed a couple Of thousand
millions, which was SO distributed as to
date of payment that the succeeding gen.
Grafton would have to bear the burden.
twenty-five years after the war is over
there is still about one thousand millions Of
these bonds unpaid. No one speaks Of the
hardship Of requiring tile succeeding gen.
Grafton to pay the bonds, but when a prop
osition is made to recognize the sacrifice
men made for their country during the war
there is a complaint of unjust and burden
some taxation. But in moral sense, the
debt we owe the soldiers is as binding a
the debt we owe the men who loaned money
to the Government.
