Kemmler, the New York murderer,
has been respited until June - by a
writ OF habeas corpus, issued on the
ground that the electrical execution
law is unconstitutional. One OF the
points made is that the method OF
execution is cruel and inhuman, which
is pure nonsense. The whole proceed
ings in this case shows the elasticity
Oi our laws in technical points. All
that is required is "a cunning lawyer
and an inLecile Judge to- set aside any
verdict, particularly in the State OF
New York. Experiments have shown
that electrical execution will not be-
half as barbarous and revolving as

payment OF these mortgages is simply inn

The rapid growth OF Great Falls.
the building of large reduction works
and the completion OF the Neihart
railroad will have a beneficial inilu-
ence on the Judith Basin. There is at
present good demand for grain M
the Falls, at Sl.s5 per hundred for
small lots. But 1t l. too long a haul
for our ranchmen I q market their pro-
duets and have anything left. When
the railroad is completed the nearest
station will be within about fifty miles

United labor demonstrations were
the order IN the cities OF Europe and
America on May LIST. Although some
strikes tor an eight-hour day were
naugurated, the movement was not
general. There is no question but
the time is near AT hand when the
sons OF toll are going to have more
leisure, at least the majority OF them.
There is little satisfaction in llboring
unless rest and leisure are prospect
i've. Every busy man hopes to see the
day when he will not have to work
so hard. Why should those engaged ia
the mechanical arts expect less A
shorter day fOr labor is coming in
