CRUEL PUNIsnnENT.

The appeal to the Federal Con.
stltu,ion against the New York
"cruel and unusual punishment
OF killing by electric shock was
not sustained. II is certainly
cruel TO kill q criminal cruel in
the effects of the killing on the
criminal however many and pre-.
valling may he the arguments that
1t IL beneficial TO the survivors.
And IL is certain that homicide by
electric shock is unusual within
the meaning OF tho Constitution.
There are, however, even graver
objections TO this method of kill.
ing. i. is devised with the idea
OF finding a method OF homicide
that will not CRATE on the finer
feelings of those who are response.
BILE for 1t. 1t is intended that II
shall do everything possible to
divest the act of killing by State
authority of every feature which
makes II disgusting aud repulsive.
The person 10 DO killed is 10 be
killed in a nice and quiet way. He
is not to be allowed to exhibit, the
convulsive agonies Of dissolution.
The newspaper reporter is not to
be allowed 10 describe these
agonies with the implication that
people on the outside with tender
and refined feelings are RESPONSE.
BILE for the homicide and for every.
thing repulsive in the operation.
In every essential feature IL is as
much against good morals to make
the killing of person pleasant to
the survivors when the State does
the killing as it would be to make
killing pleasant TO all but the per,
son killed when the State has no
legal responsibility for it. The
is not Of essence, but
of degree.

lHe great lhueoteuneS VI INC
farmers throughout the United
States is inviting the derices of
the shrewdest financierss well
as OF many Of the best mn Of the
country. The necessitia Of the
farmers have driven then as vic
Tins into the4Atohessoxtae mou.
ey.devlls, aud throughout the
country, especially in the West,
their lands arc plastered overvith
mortgages to the extent Of certain
ruin it they do not get relief from
some quarter. One.half of the
people of the United States hon.
estly believe that the condition OF
Indebtedness is almost solely at.
tributable to the unequal tariff
taxation, operating as it does 10
make them pay higher prices for
the necessities they have to have,
and at the same time lessening the
price to be obtained for the pro.
ducts of the field by limiting their
market. In other words, forcing
them to buy where they are com.
PEELED to pay the highest prices,
aud TO sell on the lowest market.
Therefore, Democrats say now,
and have always commended, that
their relief was to reduce this
mode of taxation.
One of the expedients or subti.
fuges suggested, is for the Gov.
eminent TO establish agencies
throughout the country and loan
to these debt.ridden farmers mon.
ey by mortgage on their lands at
or per cent, and thereby en-
able them TO pay off the money
sharks who now have them in
heir power. OF course the money
lenders all want this, for it will
get them their money back with
good interest, and relieve them of
al expense, trouble and mishaps
and foreclosures. But how will
i be with the Government when
pay day comes aroundi The cheap I
ate of interest is expected to
latch the class of borro wing land
owners. 1t is further supported
~ the specious plea that the Gov.
is now loaning It's money
o great capitalists, bankers and
at 3 and 4 per cent,
nd must soon drop TO 2 per cent.
g in Europe, and therefore the
Government had as well loan to

hose great capitalists. 1t is a
lany.sided proposition, and the
irect result of the patemal idea
